I often hear the same things from my clients. The women say, “I have to feel an emotional connection in order to want the physical connection.” And the men say, “I need that physical connection in order to feel emotionally connected.” And that's where the difficulty lies. But what if I were to tell you that you don't actually NEED that for the connection? Listen to find out what you truly do need to connect with your spouse.

“I'm the only one who has this challenge. Nobody could understand what it's like for me.” “If people really knew me, and the problems I have, they could never accept or love me.”“I should be able to figure life out on my own. I don't want to have to ask for help.”  These are real statements that real people believe. But are they true? In today's podcast, we discuss one of the Eternal Warriors lessons, “The Power of a Team.” Life is full of challenges and trials, and when we face those difficulties with a team beside us, we can experience a synergy that gives us power and wisdom far beyond our own.However, in hard times, it is common for humans to feel uncomfortable about admitting weakness, and especially about asking for help. Where do those feelings come from? Elder Klebingat taught that Satan seeks “access to your heart to tell you lies - lies that Heavenly Father is disappointed in you, ….that everyone else is better than you, that you are unworthy, and a thousand variations of that same evil theme.”* Because Satan knows that we are more vulnerable when we are alone, he seeks to isolate us, especially when we are feeling weak. He seeks to cloud our vision of who we really are, and why we are here.  Listen in and see how forming a team - with Jesus Christ as the Captain of that team - can help you see yourself more clearly, and help you face your challenges with greater wisdom, courage, and strength.  October 2014, “Approaching the Throne of God with Confidence” If you would like to submit any feedback or if you have benefitted from these principles please visit our Email at likedragonspodcast@lifechangingservices.orgSons of Helaman is a program for young men struggling with self mastery issues where they learn technics and principles to help them combat the influence of the adversary.

Various philosophers have often mused that there are two halves of our lives. What separates them is the period of time when we transition from a belief system to a humble inner knowing. This week's guests, Brett and Kate McKay, are not strangers to the evolution of faith and say they have experienced significant moments of decision within their own faith. But they have also found that it is very possible to transition from the first half of life to the second with your faith intact. They believe faith shouldn't be boring; instead, it's very possible to stay passionate about the gospel after leaving young adulthood. “I think that there should be a certain romance and enchantment that happens with the gospel.” Show Notes: 3:46- Law School Blogger 7:14- Transitioning From the First Half of Life to the Second 11:42- Embracing Paradox 17:24- Communal and Individual Faith 22:45- The Freedom of the Covenant Path 26:01- “Maximum Marriage” 28:40- “For Those Moments When Love Falters” 33:55- A Gospel that Fills Your Soul With Enchantment 37:40- Studying It Out 39:48- Reinfusing Your Actions with Love 41:30- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

Do you remember the catch phrase 'YOLO'? My teenagers would use it when they wanted to do something risky or something I normally wouldn't let them do. But what if instead, it meant something more? As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, we believe that we lived with our Heavenly Father before we came to this earth. We believe that we knew the plan and we knew that our mortal journey was going to be hard, but we wanted to come anyways! Well what if 'You Only Live Once' meant embracing every part of our existence as humans- the good, the, bad, and the ugly? When we switch our mindset to 'this is what it's like to be human' everything suddenly becomes infinitely more beautiful. Have a listen for more ideas on how to do this, and give it a try! In other news- I'm starting my first small group coaching program in January! Isn't that exciting?! This first group will be for parents who are struggling with their kids questioning the faith. You are not alone! DM me on Instagram here or send me an email at christi@christidaviscaoching.com for more information! Thanks so much for listening and have a great week!

My friend Steve Haworth, who joined the church in Sept 2020 at age 41, shares his story. Steve, who came out at age 17, has been looking for a church that provides the best path for Steve's desire to find a home as a gay believer in Heavenly Father and Jesus. Steve shares his positive experience with his missionaries (told them he was gay early in the teaching process), why our restored doctrine resonates with him, how he is navigating being gay and LDS, and how we can better support LGBTQ Latter-day Saints. Steve has started a website at http://www.zionlgbtq.net to support LGBTQ Latter-day Saints. Thank you Steve for being on the podcast and sharing your remarkable and faith building story. You are helping us build Zion. Your story and ministry is helping many!

We have all seen the Yin and Yang symbol and we may think we know what it means. But in this episode, let's talk about what the different energies mean when it comes to sex. In our male driven society, sex is often looked at as Yang. But men and women have both Yin and Yang energies. The trick is to use both your Yin and Yang side to improve your sex life! Listen to find out how.

My friend Pedro Munoz, age 35, joins us from his home in Colombia to share his remarkable story. Pedro shares knowing he was attracted to men during his teenage years, trying to date girls, and feeling broken and damaged. During this difficult years where Pedro worried if he really was gay he would be forced to live his life on the street in this life and in hell in the next life. Pedro talks about finding hope through his relationship with Heavenly Father and then finding the missionaries at age 24 where he gained a testimony of unique and hopeful doctrine that came through the restoration (especially the plan of salvation that have him purpose). A year after his baptism, Pedro served a mission in Mexico (great experience). Following his mission, Pedro shares moving to BYU-Idaho and trying to date women. That led to more feelings of being damaged and broken all while being active in the Church and attending the Temple weekly. Pedro talks about surviving a suicide attempt and then getting the clinical help that allowed him to be more honest with himself and others about his sexuality. Pedro, then talks about moving back to Colombia and feelings that he would resign his church membership. However, Pedro felt impressed to give his local Ward a try and is having a good experience including coming out to his current Bishop (very good experience). Pedro does a remarkable job on sharing his experience which includes consistently reaching out to his Heavenly Father for a path forward when he felt there was no way forward. If you are LGBTQ and want more hope for your future, please listen to Pedro's story. It will help you. If you an ally and want to better support our LGBTQ friends, Pedro story will give you insights. Thank you my friend Pedro for being on the podcast and sharing your story. You are a great man, human and the world is a better place with you in it. Thank you for sharing your story!

Kirtland is located in Lake County and only a 25 minute drive east of Cleveland the small town became a national story in January 1990. After moving to town, Lundgren became a lay minister in Kirtland for the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  Dale Luffman, president of the northeast Ohio chapter of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, said Lundgren worked from 1985 to 1987 at a church temple in Kirtland. Lundgren conducted tours for the public of the church's 153-year-old temple in Kirtland when he moved from Kansas City, Mo.  SOURCES: https://www.news-herald.com/2014/12/30/kirtland-cult-killings-looking-back-at-lake-countys-worst-mass-murder-25-years-later/ https://web.archive.org/web/20080828040940/http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/10/24/ap/national/mainD8KV5DV80.shtml https://www.news-herald.com/2014/12/30/kirtland-cult-killings-time-has-healed-the-city-of-faith-and-beauty/ https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna14500204 https://web.archive.org/web/20061019025800/http://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/10/18/bc.na.gen.us.cultleader.ap/index.html https://www.huffpost.com/entry/kirtland-cult-killings_n_7088210 https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/ohio/cleveland/kirtland-cult-cle/ https://fox8.com/news/true-crime-in-cleveland-kirtland-cult-murders/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZJso4RfdCg http://www2.readingeagle.com/article.aspx?id=68347 https://murderpedia.org/male.L/l1/lundgren-jeffrey-don.htm https://www.newspapers.com/clip/88389254/ https://www.newspapers.com/clip/88389475/ https://www.newspapers.com/clip/88390405/ https://www.newspapers.com/clip/88391008/ https://abn.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/history/topics/kirtland-ohio?lang=eng&abVersion=V02&abName=GLOB88 caselaw.findlaw.com https://www.news-herald.com/news/ohio/kirtland-cult-killings-timeline-of-events/article_d13876c8-f5bb-5134-8ee3-3f0df58ed99f.html https://youtu.be/OZJso4RfdCg Murphey, Jeanne. “Violence and Tragedy: Jeffrey Lundgren's Legacy.” The John Whitmer Historical Association Journal, vol. 27, John Whitmer Historical Association (JWHA), 2007, pp. 120–38, http://www.jstor.org/stable/43200279. https://culteducation.com/group/1036-jeffrey-lundgren.html Learn more about your ad choices.

The Piano Guys Steven Sharp Nelson opens up and shares challenges he's had as a touring musician and how his LDS beliefs have sustained him on this episode of All Heart with Paul Cardall. As a founding member of The Piano Guys, Steven tours the world performing to sold out audiences and reveals the pressure associated with showing up. The Piano Guys are an award winning 21st century multimedia collective that includes videographer Paul Anderson, studio engineer and writer Al van der Beek, and musical duo pianist Jon Schmidt and Steven on the cello. Originating in Utah, Steven's group The Piano Guys became an overnight phenomenon on youtube, when in 2011 they began posting piano and cello compositions combining classical, pop, film score, and original music showcased through elaborate or cinematic videos. They have more than 2 billion views on their youtube channel with 7 million subscribers. Before the group's international success, the Billboard-charting cellist began his career orchestrating and arranging strings for multi-no 1 Billboard albums for Paul Cardall, the host of this podcast. Under Stone Angel Music, Paul's independent record label, Steve talks about releasing his first cello album and how Paul encouraged him to make an album. (The Stone Angel Music catalogue was acquired by Anthem Entertainment Group, based in Toronto and continues to manufacture, distribute, and sell Steven's first two albums Sacred Cello and Tender Mercies). Steven's arrangement of Paul's song Redeemer is one of the most streamed contemporary classical piano pieces in Pandora Radio history. Steven's Mormon roots are deep as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He shares with Paul how his faith and music has helped guide him as we learn about the heart of one of today's most successful and recognized cellists in the world, Steven Sharp Nelson. Since music has such an impact on how we feel, Paul asks Steven to recommend several songs that have helped him find peace and healing. All Heart with Paul Cardall is sponsored by doTERRA, whose products are designed to offer hope and healing.

In This Episode:The guys sit down with Daniel Sellers. Fans of The Richest Men In Town podcast will recognize that last name from Katie Sellers, our first-ever female guest (from Episode #26 "Music Time With Dad").  Daniel's life is a class and the lessons that he shared in his time with Tyler and Mike are classic RMIT content. As a self-proclaimed "Southern Gentleman" he talks about the importance of putting your spouse in the center of your life. Life hacks like dancing with your wife in the kitchen and coming home with flowers are a couple of samples of the nuggets that Daniel has learned along the way. Sprinkle in some furniture building, small engine repair, raising kids, faith in Jesus Christ, bike racing, and creating music and the world will quickly see just how rich Daniel's life (with his wife Katie) is. To Daniel, thanks for the way you showed up. Keep going brother!Show NotesWho Said It..."I don't like work--no man does--but I like what is in the work--the chance to find yourself." -Joseph Conrad"According to (Robert) Greene, there are two types of time in our lives: dead time, when people are passive and waiting, and alive time, when people are learning and acting and utilizing every second.

I have a lot of men come to me wanting to be coached. And while I feel for them, I have dedicated my life to helping women with their sexuality. But in this episode, I want to talk to you men out there. I know that you want to change things in your marriage, and not just because you want more sex, but because you want a truly intimate marriage. Let's look at what you can do to help and what you shouldn't do.

I am a mother, sister,  member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and the one behind “Simplicity Blooming”.  That is exactly what I am doing… blooming into a more peaceful life.   Just like you, I  am a  daughter of God simply trying to figure things out and live the best life I possibly can.   I love long walks, taking beautiful photographs, learning new things.  The last few years I have worked on creating a more simplified, peaceful life.  I was slowly headed in the right direction. Then, I was faced with some difficult decisions that have pushed me to find that place even faster.  I am doing it with the Lord's help. Daily I am receiving inspiration on how I can live that more simplified, peaceful life.  I feel that peace the most when my home is simplified and clutter-free.  I have found that is when I am able to feel the Spirit of the Lord stronger in my life.  I LOVE to share with others what I have learned.  If you are striving for the same thing… please join me and we can learn together!  -JulieYou can find her HERE!

On today's episode we are going to start a look into the Kirtland Cult Killings from 1989 in Kirtland, Ohio. Located in Lake County and only a 25 minute drive east of Cleveland the small town became a national story in January 1990. After moving to town, Lundgren became a lay minister in Kirtland for the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  Dale Luffman, president of the northeast Ohio chapter of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, said Lundgren worked from 1985 to 1987 at a church temple in Kirtland.

This week an email communication from the Church included the term, "Microaggression". Some members were a little distraught over this. In this episode we try to do some "clear thinking" and look at how the language and religion of academia will continue to be the major influence on culture and the difficult path the Church must navigate going forward. We also talk about how microaggressions are both a way to be more sensitive to others but can also be a tool for victimhood. Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com  

In a feature piece for the Washington Post Magazine , reporter Emily Kaplan writes that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is an institution “that has excelled at survival and, often, reinvention.”

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints considers itself the “restoration” of a complete Christianity that was lost centuries ago after the death of the biblical apostles. Several years ago, Denver Snuffer, a former Latter-day Saint, launched his Remnant movement, preaching that the Utah-based faith fell away from the truth after founder Joseph Smith was killed in 1844 and Brigham Young led his followers West. Now, yet another faction, called The Doctrine of Christ, has emerged. Phil Davis, a Latter-day Saint in Provo, asserts that Young murdered Smith and that Mormonism's first prophet recently returned to re-restore the church with Davis at its helm. On this week's show, Cristina Rosetti, a religious studies scholar at Claremont McKenna College in Southern California, discusses these groups, why some Latter-day Saints are joining them, how conspiracy theories play a role, and whether they pose any threat to the mainstream church.

My friend Eli Wood shares his story for the first time publicly. Eli talks about growing up in an active Idaho LDS family and navigating his way as a gay Latter-day Saint. Eli talks about being happy but knowing he was different from other boys. Eli, who is currently a flight attendant, talks about trying to date girls and the emotional challenges of that road. Eli talks about his time at BYU-Idaho, including great experiences and very difficult experiences (hearing difficult experiences helps us do better). Here he learned part of the reason why he wasn't meant to serve a proselytizing mission and how God will use you where you are to accomplish your life mission. Eli talks about his deep, helpful and meaningful relationship with his Heavenly Parents and the personal revelation and hope he is receiving. Eli, who is planning on being a marriage and family therapist, talks about his hopes for the future and how we can better come together as the same human family. This is a powerful podcast. If you are an LGBTQ Latter-day Saint looking for hope, Eli's story will help you! If you are a parent or local leader, Eli's insights will help you--when we know better we do better. Thank you Eli for being on the podcast. You are a great man with a wonderful future.

Today my guest Angel takes us on her journey back to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Having grown up in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, her whole life, she decided, when she got to college, that she wasn't sure if she was a believer in the church or even God anymore. She decided science was a better fit for her and became an atheist. For 10 long years, she argued with believers and carved out a life in a Godless world. It wasn't until the fear of her life falling apart and losing her two children in a potential custody battle, that she started to consider a spiritual path again. Listen to see how Angel not only found Christ again but also allowed Him to heal her marriage and family.

This lesson is geared to help your kids see the world as opposites rather than negatives and positives. It hinges on the scripture that there is opposition in all things. This is a gift. This is how we understand JOY, Happiness, Accomplishment, Love and Peace. All of it is only possible if we have experienced it's counterpart SADNESS, FAILURE, HURT, and CONFUSION. When our kids embrace this topic taught in a whole new light, they will be more likely to feel the negative emotion intended for them, without layering on emotions like shame, guilt and frustration. Get excited! Next week the whole series will be available to download! It will be free for the first 100 families.If you need more help balancing these emotions in your own life, especially if you have dealt with or are currently dealing with depression, I got you. Please take advantage of the 4 spots I have opened this week to work with me for free. We will talk about your individual circumstances and I will offer you real tools to see change right away!Click here to schedule a call

So often the men in our lives focus on what turns us women on. (Maybe we women do that a bit too!) But maybe they are consciously, or unconsciously, doing something that absolutely turns us off. In the past weeks, we've talked about sexual context and what turns women on. Now let's take a look at what turns us off and how that knowledge can end up helping our sex lives.

James Jesse Strang (March 21, 1813 – July 9, 1856) was an American religious leader, politician and self-proclaimed monarch. In 1844 he claimed to have been appointed to be the successor of Joseph Smith as leader of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Strangite),[a] a faction of the Latter Day Saint movement. Strang testified that he had possession of a letter from Smith naming him as his successor, and furthermore reported that he had been ordained to the prophetic office by an angel. His organization is claimed by his followers to be the sole legitimate continuation of the Church of Christ founded by Joseph Smith fourteen years before.

After Mormonism founder Joseph Smith was killed in 1844, the largest body of the fledgling faith went west with Brigham Young. But a sizable group, including Smith's widow, Emma, and her children, stayed in the Midwest and, in 1860, founded another church known then as the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, with Smith's eldest son as president. In 2001, the church changed its name to the Community of Christ to reflect a more mainline approach than their Latter-day Saint cousins. As of 2018, it was reported to have 250,000 members in 1,100 congregations in 59 countries. On this week's show, Bishop Carla Long, who leads a Utah congregation in Millcreek, talks about her church's past, present and future. She also discusses how her faith differs from that of the much-larger, Utah-based church, how it views scriptures (including the Book of Mormon and the Doctrine and Covenants), priesthood, polygamy, the godhead, the afterlife, and why Community of Christ members shy away from the “Mormon” moniker as well.

In this episode, I spoke with men's style coach Tanner Guzy. With the focus on male fashion shifting dramatically over the last few decades, Tanner thinks a lot of men need a sense of direction, and that finding a style of one's own is an essential part of self-expression. In Tanner's words, there's a need for “aesthetic literacy” that isn't quite being fulfilled. We covered several topics related to men's fashion, such as how personality is expressed through style. We talked about suits and shoes. The changing aesthetic of Western culture and masculinity. The three archetypes of male fashion: rugged, refined, and rakish. We also went into short tangents about Guzy's personal life, his joys as a father, and his time spent as a missionary for the Church of Latter-day Saints. Tanner Guzy is a men's style coach, author, and TEDx speaker. His goal is to help boost men's confidence and attractiveness by upping their fashion game. He is the author of The Appearance of Power: How Masculinity is Expressed Through Aesthetics.

In This Episode:Tyler and Mike sit down with an unbelievably strong woman. Julie Gebhardt is a fighter. In the blink of an eye, her life was turned upside down by heart-wrenching loss. Hers is a story of love, loss, and survival. Through it all, she has found strength in her "village" of supporters and she has learned that being vulnerable and sharing her journey with others has helped to breed beautiful things in her life and the lives of so many others. The conversation with the guys covers a lot of ground but some of the highlights include capacity, choice, moving forward ("never moving on"), discovering gifts, and just "being". In the darkness, Julie has found light and emerged with gifts and courage that she never knew she had. Keep going Julie. We'll be the first in line to read your book!Show NotesWho Said It..."If you have come here to help me, you are wasting your time.

My friend Peter Fillerup (age 31, RM, Architectural & Interior Designer), shares his story. Upon returning home from his successful mission in Los Angeles, Peter spent about ten years trying to date women. Peter talks ‘waiting for the attraction to happen' and concludes with feeling ‘I'm screwed up”. In late 2020, Peter started to consider he is gay. That journey involved his family, personal revelation, and deep reflection. Peter shares his story of coming out in 2021 and how much better he feels in all aspects of his life. He no longer feels “screwed up” and has a better relationship with his Heavenly Parents. This is a deeply moving and insightful podcast. Peter's story will help so many. You are a good man Peter and I'm honored to have you.

In doing research for this episode, I found a lot of information that is just plain wrong! No wonder men are confused about what  women want! So let's talk about what actually turns women on. What takes off your sexual brakes. And I'll tell you, it's not all about candlelight and sweet nothings. You may see things in a different light after you listen.

The modern polyamory movement can readily trace it's ties back to the feminist and counter-cultural movements of the 60's and 70's. Fueled by a willingness to question convention and a mandate to empower women, it's no wonder polyamory would eagerly distance itself from the historical (and not so historical) polygamy of The Church of Latter Day Saints. How different are these approaches, really, and how does the ghost of Mormon plural marriage hang over modern ideas of ethical non-monogamy? Find out as Dan Beecher of the Thank God I'm Atheist podcast joins P*ck and Christy in an exploration of consent, coercion and copious copulation, plus your calls and what's turning us on this week!

Pray daily. Read the scriptures every day.Keep a journal. How many times have you received that counsel, and heard the promise of greater connection with Heaven if you would follow that counsel? So, are you doing those things? Daily? A foundational teaching in the Eternal Warriors program is the power of self-mastery - actually being able to do what one has determined to do, no matter what. In this episode of the 'Like Dragons Did They Fight' Podcast, Karen and three Life Changing Services coaches share how three simple “Power Goals” have helped people to finally gain the discipline to actually pray, write and read - every day.  Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf taught, “In our daily life it is our paramount task and blessed opportunity to encounter God.”* That daily encounter brings an eternal perspective with which to view our challenges. It also imbues us with the promised enabling power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ so we can meet those challenges with courage, with brightness of hope, and in the strength of the Lord. Would you like to feel the peace that a daily connection to Heaven can bring? Would you like greater power to reach your spiritual goals, every day? Listen in.

Women in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are reared to be homemakers, caring for their house and family as a kind of religious obligation, while their husbands work to support the clan. But that isn't how it works for all Latter-day Saint women in a modern society and economy, which often fall short in valuing the work they do in the home. Many take on part-time employment to bring in extra money, while caring for kids, and that can open up some of them to the false allure of multilevel marketing scams. One of those businesses, LuLaRoe, which sells bold-print clothes and leggings, was started by a Latter-day Saint couple and was the subject of a recent Amazon documentary titled “LuLaRich.” Meg Conley, a Latter-day Saint essayist in Denver and publisher of a newsletter called Homeculture, discusses the documentary, why members may be attracted to MLMs, and what this phenomenon says about Latter-day Saint culture, and the blending of beliefs and business.

After 20 years as an election lawyer, Audrey Perry Martin has definitely seen the negative sides of politics. But despite her own cynicism from the things she has seen in her career, Audrey is sharing in this interview why she is encouraging Latter-day Saint women to jump into the political scene and run for office. She discusses why she created Project Elect, a non-partisan organization to educate, encourage and support Latter-day Saint women to get involved in public service. Audrey also shares how women members of the church are uniquely qualified to bring a different perspective to politics by using Christ-like leadership and love.   Journal Questions Think about the leadership skills you have gained through church or community service. How can you use these skills to bless your community? Write down your thoughts of ways you could serve in your neighborhood, school or community. Audrey shared how following the prompting to start Project Elect wasn't easy but a support system of other women helped her to move forward through the obstacles. How can you support the women around you who are trying to following promptings? Pray for guidance to know who around you needs support. Write the promptings you receive. And this isn't really a journal question but you know I don't want you to just listen; I want you to act on what you hear on the podcast. So, are you feeling the nudge to be more involved in local government?  Act by going to the Project Elect website at projectelectwomen.org and learn how you can get involved.   Episode Links Visit Project Elect's website: projectelectwomen.org Follow Project Elect on Instagram: @projectelectwomen Follow Project Elect on Facebook: Project Elect: Women in Public Service Join the Spiritually Minded Women email list: spirituallymindedwomen.com/prayerjournal/ Follow Spiritually Minded Women on Instagram: @spirituallymindedwomen Watch the podcast on YouTube: Spiritually Minded Women channel Visit the website for more resources: spirituallymindedwomen.com

Jim is living a rich life under extraordinary and exceptional circumstances. Our listeners hear this every week but Jim's story is something that you have never heard before.

My friend Joseph Stith (active LDS, Convert, Former Marine, RM from Houston, Former President of Northstar, early 60s) shares his story as a gay Latter-day Saint.

Today, we are speaking with AnnaMarie, a woman who has recently left the Mormon church. The Mormon church is one of the newest Christian denominations and also has one of the most unique origin stories. AnnaMarie was born into and grew up in the Mormon Church and accepted its customs as ordinary until she went off to college. She was committed to her role and the expectations of her church, but when she tried to leave quietly she was stalked by missionaries in the group. She'll get into the details on her involvement and more in today's episode.Support us on Patreon! patreon.com/themodestyfilesFollow us on Instagram @themodestyfiles for updates and bonus content.
