Show Notes
The word "liminal" isn't in most people's everyday vocabulary. Although the word is rare, the experience it summarizes is not, particularly in religious life. Liminality means to be in an in-between space, on the verge of transformation, or at a threshold—like a doorway. In this insightful episode, Dr. Charles Swift analyzes the Brother of Jared's liminal experience in Ether 2 and 3, and what it can teach us today about our own interactions with and answers from the Lord.
