I was recently on Richard Ostler's podcast "Listen Learn and Love" and am sharing the episode on my podcast as well. I share with Richard what it was like growing up in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with a narcissistic mother and why I am still a Christian despite the contradictory messages I received in the home I grew up in.
Richard is the author of Listen, Learn and Love: Improving Latter-day Culture and also the author of Listen, Learn & Love: Embracing LGBTQ Latter-day Saints. He is a committed Latter-day Saint and follower of Christ whom I look up to!
