Ep. 144 | Restoring the Divine Feminine, with Cory Jensen and Jocelyn Pedersen | Book Launch Series

Meghan Farner

Welcome to our special book launch series! 

In this episode, Meghan is joined by Cory Jensen and Jocelyn Pedersen to discuss chapter 1 of "Consider Yourself as Eve: A Guide to Spiritual Development for Women (and the Men Who Love Them)," which covers the topic of Spiritual Development. (Get your copy on Amazon!)

Topics include:
- Knowing our Heavenly Parents
- Finding our Heavenly Mother in the scriptures
- Fear of the feminine, and how to overcome
- The restoration of all truth
- How we already have permission to seek Her

This series is adjacent to the book, meaning that while these conversations cover some themes, we do not go into the same degree of detail as the book itself. All topics of chapter 1 are not covered in this episode. If you'd like to learn more, we invite you to purchase a copy of the book on Amazon!

About the Book:

The Proclamation on the Family affirms the eternal truths of gender and marriage between a man and a woman. We readily accept these realities. However we may yet to fully comprehend why these are so vital. Why is gender essential? Why is the pattern of marriage so important?

In this first-of-its-kind guide, “Consider Yourself as Eve” seeks to illuminate these doctrines by considering how we may live the temple’s template of spiritual development, especially as women. Along the way, we discuss many other questions, including:

  • What specifically is the temple designed to teach us?
  • What do the symbolic signs, laws, and tokens presented in the temple endowment ceremony represent in our everyday lives?
  • How do we receive transformative grace through the atonement of Jesus Christ?
  • What are the characteristics of feminine vs masculine spirit? What is the stewardess-ship of women complementary to the stewardship of men?
  • How is embodying femininity key to our spiritual development as women?

With a heavy emphasis on scripture and illustrative personal experiences of the author, this book expounds deeper doctrines with the hope that all women will be empowered to pursue their own journey of developing in the pattern given by Jesus Christ. In doing so, they can sure to experience a richer understanding of who they are as daughters of God, a Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother.
