Series Title: Historical Exploration of LDS Temple Admission Process [Part IV of IV]

In this thought-provoking final episode of this series, Valerie and Nathan do a final delve into the history and accompanying complexities of the temple admission process, exploring the ever-evolving criteria and the psychological impact that this process has on faith expanding members. 

This episode addresses the sensitive topics of sexual ethics, the intersection of religion, fear, and sexual intimacy, and the influence of patriarchal structures on individual sexual agency and spiritual development.  

They also offer a concise historical overview of items in the interview that have become more strict and those that have become more lax or have disappeared altogether. Subscribe to this episode for a candid discussion about LDS teachings, community belonging, and the pursuit of personal integrity in matters of faith, worship, and embodied spirituality.
