Session Description:
Navigating church discipline, particularly for individuals experiencing same-sex attraction or gender dysphoria, is a deeply personal and transformative journey. In this session, Eric will share his compelling story of enduring two church disciplinary processes—a roller coaster of challenges that ultimately led him to allow the Savior to refine his heart. While divinely called church leaders play a vital role in this process, their human imperfections can sometimes add complexities. Yet, the Savior’s Atonement compensates for all shortcomings, offering a path to healing and growth. By focusing on gospel principles, trusting in the Savior, and extending grace to ourselves and others, we can find peace, hope, and renewal on the covenant path. Whether you’ve faced church membership challenges yourself or are a leader seeking to better understand your role, join this session to learn how the Atonement can transform your life and how to advocate for and support others on their journey.
