In this episode of Latter Day Struggles, Valerie visits with Aimee, a Canadian seminary teacher, to discuss her experiences as a progressive thinker in the Latter Day Saint space.

Aimee shares her journey of personal growth and how this translates into her approach to seminary teaching-prioritizing inquiry over dogma and allowing her students to become creators of their own spiritual learning experience.
Valerie and Aimee explore the challenges of teaching with a church-correlated curriculum that may not align with the instructor's personal beliefs and values. Through their conversation, they emphasize the importance of love, creating a safe space for students, and helping them grow closer to God.
