I listen to your podcast every week. I learn so much from you because you present ideas in a way that I might not have seen before. I especially like the thread of how to be celestial people and let go of telestial and terrestrial behaviors. Thanks for connecting scriptures and clarifying ideas to be meaningful in my personal life!
