Someone can believe in an organized religion and still have qualms about certain aspects of it.

There's a nuance to everything. And I just think, well gosh that just kind of sums it up right there.

To have people outside of our faith, part of other faith traditions say, you don't have to believe everything.

Whoever said you had to? And and I thought well that's me like I'm not the only religious person who holds tensions

Right I don't have to leave because I don't like the canned peas on the buffet. I fill my plate with

what I want and I'm not picking up the canned peas anymore. It's okay. I gave myself that

permission. Hi, I'm Susan Hinckley.

And I'm Cynthia Wynworth.

And this is at last she said it.

We are women of faith discussing complicated things.

And the title of today's episode is, why we stay.

We're going right there, Cynthia. We're going right there Cynthia.

We're going right there, even though I feel like we kind of answer that question a lot.

I feel like we answer that question a lot too, but what happens?

Consistently women write to us and say, could you please tell me why it is that you stay?

I think people are really confused by Latter-day Saint women who are willing to point out issues, you know, openly discuss things

they want or need to see happen and ask for changes who are also interested in remaining engaged.

That's confusing to people.

It is confusing to people.

I respect that.

Yeah, same. I get that as well. But before we jump into all that,

welcome back, Susan. We're back friend. We're back for season seven.
