Imagine a wide chasm spanning the distance between you and a person that you love. Both of you want to stay on the side you are on, but hate the separation resulting from that choice. Is your relationship then doomed? How can you make this work? I believe the answer to this is Bridge Building, and that is exactly what I am seeking to teach my listeners. When it comes to the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, chasms of faith differences often develop and can be detrimental to maintaining healthy, loving relationships. I believe that these relationships are not doomed to the width of the gulf, but can in fact become stronger than ever before. Bridge Builders seek to find the tools to form bridges that will allow these relationships to flourish again, literally bridging the gap, making the chasm less daunting, making your loved one more emotionally available/open to you, learning from new perspectives, and planting seeds of love, trust, and credibility along the path.

Emily's amazing Relief Society President "saw her" when she needed most to be seen. Thankfully she invited Emily to speak out about her faith transition experience in a fireside, and that audio has been recorded for our benefit!
How can we be like this R.S. president and reach out with charity and give voice to someone who believes differently than we do?

As Halloween approaches, we thought it would be fun to talk about the ways in which fear impacts bridge building. Hint hint, it's hardly beneficial, but you may just learn a few things about it that surprise you. ;)
Not a ton of show notes today, but we did quote from 1st John 4:18.

“You are such an amazing person, with exceptional morals, you must be the same religion that I am!” Hold up, you’re not? Why are we looking to categorize people into our tribe or not our tribe? Have you ever caught yourself doing it? Amanda and I dive into the “us vs them” mentality, and how we've experienced it in our own lives.
