In this heartfelt episode, Valerie and guest Christian Anderson reflect on the life and legacy of Lavina Fielding Anderson, Christian's mother: a writer, scholar, and passionate believer in protecting the vulnerable and champion for a more inclusive Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
—In Monday's episode, Valerie and Christian explore Lavina's early life, her convictions, and her eventual confrontation with the LDS church around issues of ecclesiastical abuse. —In Friday's episode, Christian recounts his own feelings and memories of Lavina's brave and courageous life and legacy. This episode delves into the importance of speaking up for what is right and the need for checks and balances within religious institutions.
