Episode Details

In this solo episode I share something pretty personal about my relationship with the sacrament and why missing it used to send me into a spiral of frustration and shame. I talk about what finally shifted for me, including actually sitting with the words of the sacrament prayer and finding something in it I had completely overlooked. I share my thoughts on what it really means to have the spirit with you and why I no longer believe it's something you can lose. I also talk about the Sabbath day, how it has evolved in our home, and why giving yourself permission to figure out what these practices mean for you personally is not a departure from faith but an expression of it.
