In the past decades the critical role of fathers and the destructive impacts of fatherlessness have been studied in depth. What can this teach us about polygamy and its ongoing consequences? How is it still affecting us today?

Please consider supporting this podcast: Venmo: @Michelle-Stone-24 https://www.patreon.com/132Problems Since polygamy and eternal marriage are both based in the idea of sealings taught in section 132 can we let go of one and still hold on to the other? Does exaltation depend on either? How does it all work?

It may not be until our foundations are questions that we realize they are built upon sand and we are in danger of the domino effect when we start using critical thinking and exploring truth. Does this all or nothing approach serve us well? Does it need to be this way? I address a listener's message on this topic and share some of my personal experiences struggling through the unsettling question of "What does this mean?"

Is that consistent with the rest of scripture? What can we learn from Eve and other women in scripture? Is there a way to reconcile these two perspectives? Why does it matter?
