    7. Lenses | Changing perspectives while navigating LDS faith

    In this episode, I’m sharing a few stories about how my perspectives have been changed or challenged. I'll share some experiences from the DMV, the time I was held hostage by the slickest driveway ice in Idaho Falls, and my incredibly awkward junior high strategy of getting my crush's attention. I discuss how these moments parallel the way we choose to see the world. I share a story from my mission where a philosophy professor "Inception-ed" me, making me question whether the "spiritual lens" I grew up with was actually giving me the clearest picture of reality. I'm not doing a deep dive into theology here—I'm just sharing a few instances where my views were challenged or changed as I've navigated life.
