Sometimes our traditions get in the way of understanding truth.  In this episode, Mandy explores the ancient text and context of sin, repentance and at-one-ment.   She sheds further light on how we can make course corrections and adjustments without guilt, shame or fear.  The Savior's triumph brings us the sublime possibility of at-one-ment.
