Listen in on a conversation between three longtime confidantes, LDF board member Terri Petersen and her friends, Nancy and Susan as they discuss their changing relationships with the LDS Church and with their loved ones. As will become clear through listening, these three friends all have distinctive temperaments and are at different places in their spiritual journeys, yet their love and respect for each other has not changed. But each spot brings its own set of relationship issues when children decide to move on from the church, or, in the case of Nancy, a parent opts out while their spouse and children remain in the fold.
Learn of their stories within and without formal Mormonism. What have they learned along the way that they can offer as advice to others going through similar challenges? What are the worst things someone can do? What are the best? All three of these chums have ultimately managed such challenges quite well, remaining in close contact with family members who may not agree with others’ decisions but have chosen to remain steady in keeping their relationships a priority.
As you listen, I bet you will find in these three friends reminders of people you know and love even though it might be difficult at times.
