In this episode of the In Her Image podcast, host Jessica Woodbury and guest Maxine Hanks explore the historical and theological roles of women in the LDS faith, emphasizing their spiritual authority and contributions to the church's origins. They discuss the significance of the Relief Society, Emma Smith and the concept of the Elect Lady, and the restoration of female authority within the church. Maxine's research and insights beg the question, has the Relief Society fully been restored? Is the largest women's organization in the world fulfilling its intended purpose? Are there pieces from our very inception as a society that hold clues, or shall we say, keys, to our potential and partnership with the male priesthood order of the church that could cause seismic shifts? This groundbreaking conversation highlights the importance of deep listening, safe spaces, and the ongoing journey towards equality and recognition of women's power and equality in spirituality and leadership.
