434: When the Church MUST be "True”...all other Perspectives of Reality Suffer

Series Title: A Path to Wholeness Beyond the Mormon Faith Crisis [Part IV of VIII]

In this episode Val & Nathan illustrate in a poignant case study, what happens when all four perspectives of reality are not regarded & honored equally. They explore the LDS church & the modern Mormon faith crisis using the “showing up” four perspectives that assist in building “radical wholeness”. 

When the Church’s starting point is that “the Church is true” (privileging the structural/organizational perspective)—then every other perspective must exist in the service of validating the structure; or otherwise controlled, disregarded, or suppressed…which is a perfect recipe for the opposite of health and thriving. 

Listen in to get an up close and personal understanding of why the “showing up” aspect of radical wholeness is so important!
