Episode #53: Eve

Episode Hosts:  Allison Dayton (Founder of the Lift+Love organization, original Lift+Love podcast co-host, parent of LGBTQ+ child), Jenie Hunter (original Lift+Love podcast co-host, LCS certified life coach, parent of LGBTQ+ child) and Darice Auston (Lift+Love Director of Getting Stuff Done, Gather Director, Lift+Love Store Manager, parent of a trans child)

In this episode of the Lift+Love podcast, Allison Dayton, Jenie, and Darice delve into the story of Eve, highlighting her courage and wisdom. They discuss how Eve's choices parallel the experiences of being an LGBTQ+ Latter-day Saint or raising LGBTQ+ children within the church. The conversation touches on faith, agency, and the challenges of navigating church teachings that often leave LGBTQ+ individuals feeling ostracized. Focusing on the complexity and uncertainty of their journey, the hosts emphasize the importance of seeking personal revelation and supporting their children in a faith-based home while addressing institutional gaps and the need for inclusive spiritual guidance.
