Series Title: “On the Inside of the Edge” Exploration w/ Christian Kimball [Part IV of IV]

In this final episode in this mini-series featuring Chris Kimball’s book ⁠Living on the Inside of the Edge, Chris and Val close with a sensitive topic of so many of us on the peripheries of the LDS faith tradition.  

Both parents to children ranging from adolescents to mid-adulthood, Val and Chris share thoughts about the “Mormon Scoreboard” and how this scoring system hurts both parents and their children.

They share their own tender experiences navigating parenting, realizing that while their faith journeys complicated their parenting identities, ultimately they had no choice in the matter and their deepening faith was something that strengthened their ability to love their children and allow their children their own beautiful journeys too.

Chris and Valerie talk about fears that they have or have overcome in raising their children on the edge, knowing that others may well see them and/or their children as failures on the Mormon scoreboard.
