From the FB Group / Podcast Marriage on a Tightrope:
"Tightropers! Our good friends Clarke Caldwell and Sabrina Wheeler Caldwell are hosting a Mixed Faith Marriage Fireside in their home on Sunday, February 21st at 8pm Mountain. They will be streaming the entire presentation live via Zoom. The Caldwell's were kind enough to open this up to everyone here in the group. The presenter will be Tony Overbay. Tony is an LMFT, Author, and Podcaster in the Roseville, California area who is also an active member of the LDS Church but is at Stage 5 on the James Fowler's Stages of Faith Spectrum, which means he is very nuanced.
Understanding these Stages of Faith can provide valuable insights into who your spouse is, why they believe the way they do, how this understanding affects behavior, communication, and can cultivate mutual respect, healthy compromise, and ultimately enrich marriages. It will also help you understand which Faith Stage you are in and why.
Tony has worked with hundreds of people navigating through a Mormon Faith Crisis and has many interesting insights. He has interviewed important voices in this space, including Jennifer Finlayson-Fife, Jody Moore, and Monica Tanner.
Head over to the Events page in the group (link below) to reserve your spot. There is no cost to the event, but Zoom is limited to 100 participants.
Thank you Clarke and Sabrina for making a difference in this community! ❤
