Let’s stay positive

Last updated on: January 10, 2020 at 11:50 am By Natasha Helfer

Yes!!! I have argued for a long time that the whole “world is getting worse” rhetoric is harmful for our mental health and for optimism and incentives in regards to problem solving. Let’s stay positive minded… while invested in solving the negatives we face as a human race. Thanks Anthony D. Miller for the great reminder: As I sit here this morning, I do so with a tremendous sense of gratitude for this past decade and optimism about the next—not... Read more

Policy Reversal Process requires Repentance

Last updated on: January 3, 2020 at 4:09 pm By Natasha Helfer

My good friend Michael posted this when the LGBT+ policy reversal was announced by the church back in September. So much unnecessary pain and tragedy came from the policy to begin with. I’m glad and thankful the Church was able to auto correct. Although I wish it would follow it’s own repentance process by admitting of wrongdoing and apologizing directly. The idea that Heavenly Father gave a revelation about how to treat LGBT+ members and their family in 2015 and... Read more

Working Towards a Non-Splintered Community

Last updated on: December 10, 2019 at 4:07 pm By Natasha Helfer

I absolutely love the work John Dehlin and I have been doing for about a decade… with the past 5 years being retreat/presentation heavy… where we help people who are going through faith transitions and the people who love them. I am always so super impressed with the believing spouses, siblings and parents that I’ve seen show up at these events since John, in particular, has been deemed dangerous and “anti” and was excommunicated. I just had an ecclesiastical leader... Read more
