Episode 6 Twilight and the Afterlife

Just a note before you listen: we do use the word "Mormon" a lot. We both grew up using the word and Kimberly left the church before 2018 when President Nelson gave his landmark talk. While we mean no offense, we understand that it might be uncomfortable for some, so we invite you to take that into consideration before listening. What does Twilight have to do with the afterlife? More than you'd think. Kari and Kimberly turn a lighthearted conversation about vampires, eternal life, and Bella Swan's questionable life choices into a doorway into something deeper... what they actually hope is true about what comes after this life. Along the way they talk about Mormon funerals, "TK Smoothies", and how leaving the church meant Kimberly had to grieve goodbyes she'd once assumed were temporary. They end up somewhere surprisingly tender. Not on certainty, but on what they'd actually want eternity to feel like if it exists. Not perfection, not an eternity of sameness, but continued relationships. More Thanksgivings. More inside jokes. More of each other. This episode will make you want to hold your family close now and forever. #twilight #ldsmom #faithjourney #prodigal #exmo #estrangedparents #churchofjesuschristoflatterdaysaints #familyrelationships
