Circumscribing Truth: Ritual and the Shared Search for the Divine with Dave Butler
<p>Something I have wrestled with in my own faith journey is how I can simultaneously feel such a strong witness of restored gospel truths and ordinances while also recognizing immense truth and beauty in other religions. In this conversation, Dave shares his journey of developing a deep love and appreciation for all faith traditions, and how embracing other religions has not threatened his own faith but has actually deepened and informed it. Together, we explore ritual as a means of connecting to the divine, forming our identity, and discovering the common threads of ritual across faith traditions—something Dave attributes to God inspiring people “in their own language and symbols.”</p><p>One temple teaching I love is the invitation to participate in God’s work of circumscribing all truth into one great whole. Joseph Smith was a seeker of all truth and implored us to be the same. This conversation felt like an opportunity to reach wider, embracing more truth and, ultimately, more of humanity within the arms of our faith. Dave offers a vision of rooting ourselves deeply in our faith while also reaching far and wide to gather all of God’s children to the table. I am finding that, rather than separating us from the rest of humanity, temple worship invites us into deeper communion with the whole human family and our shared longing to encounter the divine.\</p><p>David Butler is a speaker, author, and storyteller who helps people see faith and scripture in fresh, hopeful ways. Through teaching, tours, and creative faith projects, he invites others along to discover wonder, grace, and a deeper love for God.</p><p>Follow Dave on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/mrdavebutler/">Instagram</a> </p><p>Listen to Dave’s podcast <a target="_blank" href="https://www.dontmissthisstudy.com/">Don’t Miss This</a></p><p>Enroll in Dave’s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.dontmissthisstudy.com/holyenvyworldreligioncourse?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnpq7cadnYCXoUYnn-ZRtT9KbageCEsJ0ib_L9QnE-C1crlK3DiD0Tfo6qyXY_aem_VR-FaAzAzT5fMjt_mIf0fw&brid=YWdncwH5duvABPLAMLc_m4xc7Z6Z">Holy Envy course</a></p><p>Explore Dave’s <a target="_blank" href="https://megslist.myflodesk.com/travel?fbclid=PAQ0xDSwKwYoBleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABp-CArIvZpWWOT3g1PE7hGJR80uHmycoBYy5bK1ezK5HFsFsQ2feT77-IcYMu_aem_J-97QaiJCGCG_F4NuPJ3IA&utm_content=link_in_bio&utm_medium=social&utm_source=ig">tours</a></p><p><p>Subscribe to keep up with Sanctuary!</p></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

Feminism, Authority, and Garments: A conversation with Deidre Green
<p>As a feminist and lifelong member of the LDS faith, Deidre brings an important voice to this community. In this episode, she shares her own temple journey, which—like mine—began with challenges but ultimately evolved into something deeply meaningful. She describes the temple as a space that empowers her as a woman and expresses her belief that it holds a vision of who women truly are and who God is inviting them to become.</p><p>In the second half of the episode, we explore the garment. Deidre has drawn fascinating meaning from it, some of which we discuss here. I highly recommend reading her <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wayfaremagazine.org/p/clothing-ourselves-in-christ">article</a> for Wayfare, where she delves more deeply into this topic—it was an impactful read for me. She speaks about the garment as a symbol of the veil and suggests that, in wearing it, we are perpetually standing before the veil, declaring, “Here I am,” and communicating to God our openness, trust, and willingness to submit to His will. Step by step, God has drawn me into this holy surrender, transforming me and setting me free in more ways than I can express.</p><p>Deidre Green is Assistant Professor of Latter-day Saint/Mormon Studies at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California. She is the author of multiple books, chapters, and articles related to feminist theology, Kierkegaard, and Mormon Studies. Deidre co-edited with Eric Huntsman Latter-day Saint Perspectives on Atonement (University of Illinois Press, 2024) and authored Jacob: A Brief Theological Introduction.</p><p>Read Deidre’s Wayfare article on Garments <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wayfaremagazine.org/p/clothing-ourselves-in-christ">here.</a></p><p><p>Subscribe to keep up with Sanctuary!</p></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
