Episode 211: LDS Women Worldwide Vote "Opposed" to Institutional Claims of Female Authority

Join Valerie as she explores a variety of topics connected to the 2024 rebirth of the Law of Common Consent demonstrated by LDS women throughout the world who recently voted "opposed" to claims that women in the LDS church have more authority than women of other church's worldwide.

In this episode, Valerie processes a variety of topics including:

** Several reasons why the LDS church has chronic struggles with allowing women equality.

**A conversation about historical lack of collaboration with systems of learning, knowledge, and worldwide restoration enlightenment.

**A maladaptive commitment to "immovability".

** A conversation about the need to address intersectionality of the feminine divine and queer issues in LDS "eternal family" theology.

**Encouragement to embody love as the foundational energy of lasting spiritually-empowering social reform.

Friday's episode begins a three-part conversation between Valerie and Nathan addressing how structural issues within the LDS church powerfully communicates its value of women, regardless of what is spoken *about* women or *to* women.
