Series Title: Expanding our Theology [Part II of II]

In this thought-provoking episode, Valerie and Nathan delve deep into the complexities and true nature of prayer within the church. 

Through a compassionate lens, they discuss the symbolism and healing power of a congregation coming together in prayer, exploring the rich tapestry of how gratitude and worship are expressed across cultures and within the LDS faith tradition. 

They also courageously tackle the tougher issues—examining how the exclusion of women from certain church rituals and how withholding prayer privileges for any reason is unkind, incongruent with the nature of God and deeply psychologically and spiritually harmful. 

They challenge the pressures and misplaced expectations surrounding priesthood blessings, sharing heartfelt personal stories, and emphasize that spirituality should emanate from authentic and continuous engagement with the divine, not from ideas around transactional, sufficient faith, or worthiness.
