Emily's amazing Relief Society President "saw her" when she needed most to be seen. Thankfully she invited Emily to speak out about her faith transition experience in a fireside, and that audio has been recorded for our benefit! 

How can we be like this R.S. president and reach out with charity and give voice to someone who believes differently than we do?

“You are such an amazing person, with exceptional morals, you must be the same religion that I am!” Hold up, you’re not? Why are we looking to categorize people into our tribe or not our tribe? Have you ever caught yourself doing it? Amanda and I dive into the “us vs them” mentality, and how we've experienced it in our own lives.

Is it bad to think you are right about something? Amanda Niebergall joins us today to help explain the difference between perceptions and perspectives, the impact these views have on our lives, and how gaining perspectives creates safe passage for bridge building.
