Episode 109:  The Quest - When Quests Change

Show Notes:   

On this episode of The Women with Fire Podcast, Sarah interviews Dr. Jennifer Finlayson Fife, who specializes and has studied sexuality.  

Jennifer tells of her story, and talks about how she always asked questions even as an adolescent.  She talks about why and how she came to pursue the field of sexuality and why she decided to study women in the church and sexuality for her doctoral discourse.  

Jennifer dives deep into some new ideas, what progression looks like, and why it's okay to be open minded to topics that are often "taboo" in the Church.  

She also gives her ideas on a better way to approach sexuality when we are raising kids.  There is a way to direct them to make smart choices about their sexuality without shaming them, or supercharging their curiosity which can often lead down a negative path.  

Quotes:

"It's alright for you to struggle with some of  these questions, and stand up for what you honestly believe is right."  -Dr. Jennifer Finlayson

"We want the idea that we've gotten all the answers and it's all right here for us, and all we need to do is obey sufficiently, and all will be well, but I think that's the slothful servant idea."  -Dr. Jennifer Finlayson

"We're taught that we're in this progression to become God's ourselves.  God's are actors, creators, they have achieved wisdom, not just compliance."  -Dr. Jennifer Finlayson

"Teaching our children integrity is really important.  It's the one that really always wins.  Compliance is much weaker." -Dr. Jennifer Finlayson

Quotes:

"Having a sense that you know what God wants you to do, and that you're doing it, makes a lot of other things. . . you can get through them, right?"  -Michelle Gifford

"It is through the obstacle of Paul, and Joseph, bearing testimony, and being called crazy, mad, and blasphemous, that is the way their testimony is strengthened, cemented, and changes the world."  -Sarah Allred

In this episode of the Women with Fire Podcast, Sarah and Michelle talk about Dorcus, and her amazing example as she follows her own quest.  They talk about having compassion, and focusing on changing individual lives, and finding our own talents that Heavenly Father has given us to fulfill our own quests.

“Already the new men are dotted here and there all over the earth. Some, as I have admitted, are still hardly recognizable: but others can be recognized. Every now and then one meets them. Their very voices and faces are different from ours: stronger, quieter, happier, more radiant. They begin where most of us leave off. They are, I say, recognizable; but you must know what to look for. They will not be very like the idea of ‘religious people’ which you have formed from your general reading. They do not draw attention to themselves. You tend to think that you are being kind to them when they are really being kind to you. They love you more than other men do, but they need you less. ... They will usually seem to have a lot of time: you will wonder where it comes from. When you have recognized one of them, you will recognize the next one much more easily. And I strongly suspect (but how should I know?) that they recognize one another immediately and infallibly, across every barrier of color, sex, class, age, and even of creeds. In that way, to become holy is rather like joining a secret society. To put it at the very lowest, it must be great fun”" - C.S. Lewis

"Our circle of influence wherever we are, is enough."  -Sarah Allred

"Those people who are doing things one by one, their joy is so much more full." - Michelle Gifford 

"It really comes down to knowing what the Lord wants you to do."  -Michelle Gifford
