A couple of key points explored include broadly expanding an all-inclusive definition of God, a reinterpretation of sin and Jesus' role, and the awakening of our divine nature as a continuous journey. Join Valerie in another episode that invites a transcendent interpretation of our most core Mormon ideas, while including former ideas & perspectives as important building blocks.
