Most LDS parents of children who have left the church are searching for one thing: how to bring their children back. Kari and Kimberly offer something better.
In this episode, Kari and Kimberly talk honestly about what it cost to get to where they are today and what they have learned loving each other across the faith divide. They discuss the grief, guilt and fear that can divide a family when a member chooses to leave, and how they overcame it all together.
Their story is not like the prodigal son story, where a parent waits for their child to come back and admit they are right. Their story follows an alternative route. A relationship that is real, close, and full of love. Right now. As things actually are.
If you are an LDS parent who is grieving your child's faith transition, or an adult child who is afraid your family can only love the version of you that stayed, this conversation is for you.
