Latter Day Struggles

I love how you are a husband and wife team so you are coming at this podcast from two different perspectives. Listening to you both I always come away with something new to “chew” on. Thank you so much!

This is such a validating, beautiful and raw podcast. I’m so grateful to have found this show. If you’re in the painful depths of a faith expansion/transition start from the beginning! I am trying to navigate how to stay in the traditions but in a way that doesn’t ignore keeping my integrity.

Thank you for putting words and validation to my inner workings and struggles. I too am a trauma therapist and also came to it later in life due to the indoctrination of how I should be, who I should be, and what I should do. I am still struggling to know how to have congruence between my behaviors and emotions related to the church and am hoping your support group will eventually fall on a day and time that I can join.

While I truly appreciate what they are trying to do here, and I acknowledge that they often need to walk a fine line, it does seem to me like they claim belief and faith in the church on one hand, but when it comes to the hard issues, they err appear to err on the side of deconstruction. I admit I have only heard a few episodes, one was very helpful. But another, episode 95, left me basically thinking that their solution mixed faith marriage problems when it comes to difficult doctrine is to toss out the doctrine. I would appreciate someone actually providing tools to navigate managing belief and dealing with the challenges it presents Rather than just tossing aside the problem and ignoring it. If this was advice received in a therapy session it would be manipulative because it would drive the person to change their beliefs rather than providing tools to navigate the challenge they are faced with.
