Episode 64: Custom-Fit Faith
We all take a ‘cafeteria’ approach to our religion to some extent, but how much customization is really okay? As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we are asked to obey commandments, but sometimes face pressure to accept policies and culture as binding too. How can we determine which parts are essential? How can we reap the greatest spiritual benefit from our church engagement? In this episode, Cynthia and Susan discuss approaching personal decisions about what to keep, and what it may be time to let go.
