Subscriber-only episode

In this Latter Day Struggles EXCLUSIVE [episode two of a four-part series] Val and Nathan explore several topics relevant to the LDS faith journey through the lens of the "near enemy". Their focus in this advanced-content episode includes an analysis of:

**Faithfulness as the near-enemy of personal integrity

**Checklist obedience as the near-enemy of personal transformation

**Leadership by seniority/nomination/inheritance as the near-enemy of leadership by attraction

**Placating as the near-enemy of true reform (specific to current queer issues)

**Pedestalizing as the near-enemy of gender equality

This (and every) series endeavors to help faith-expanding Latter-day Saints better understand ourselves and our faith institution so that we all might connect, heal, and transform.

Thank you for subscribing to these advanced content exclusives, intended to help our faith expanding LDS and surrounding community grow and thrive in their faith journeys.
