Exploring the Divine FeminineE58 The Yin and Yang of the Divine, our Heavenly Parents, and usSend us a textSome are familiar with the Yin and Yang symbol and what it represents and explains in nature. It can be confusing to understand the feminine characteristics of our Heavenly Mother and what that means for us as women.

2026-02-0334 minExploring the Divine FeminineE57 The lack of modern revelation about Heavenly MotherSend us a textThere is an absolute love for this gospel, this church, and its leaders--both male and female. While there is much evidence to support a legitimate worship of a Heavenly Mother from the Israelite past, we are not at the point of moving forward with such an action, mainly from a lack of modern revelation.There are consequences for repressing women and their voice, and while I do not think this is happening in our church or even has happened, I do think it is appropriate to not only pray that our...
