251: Fostering Environments for Growth & Interdependent Thinking in the LDS Church
About this episode
Series Title: Vertical Development & the LDS Faith Journey with Ryan Gottfredson [Part III of IV]
In this episode, Valerie and Ryan expand on the characteristics of a vertically developing mind. This episode highlights the characteristics of the most psychologically developed mind--characteristics that embody only 1% of the population!
This "mind 3.0" values contributing to the world in meaningful ways, interdependent thinking, embracing vulnerability, and holding loving space for experiences and perspectives that vary (even in Sunday school!!).
Val and Ryan also explore how and why trauma [individually, generationally, and systemically] stagnates vertical development.
This series wraps up on Friday with an inspiring final episode that you don’t want to miss. Valerie and Ryan integrate these "big ideas" about vertical development into the Latter-day Saint setting and explore how a vertically developing membership and leadership could contribute to unprecedented relational and spiritual expansion and satisfaction in our faith community.
