As an individual seeking to learn and grow, I have been inspired to study the scriptures and related materials, with a particular focus on the principles and teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In writing about these topics, it is not my intention to go against the leaders of the Church, but rather to seek a deeper understanding of those things that may be less frequently discussed, or that may present contradictions or challenges to my understanding.
I approach this work with humility, recognizing that I am not a trained theologian or scholar, but rather a student seeking to learn and grow. As such, I welcome feedback and guidance, and I strive to remain open to the insights and perspectives of others.
