The LDS Temple Garment: History, Meaning, and Personal Choice (Ebook & Podcast Episode Bundle)
$29.99
By Valerie Hamaker, MA, NCC, LPC, CPT
In this powerful teaching companion to Latter Day Struggles Episode 222, Valerie Hamaker leads a deeply compassionate exploration of one of the most tender and misunderstood aspects of Latter-day Saint life: the LDS temple garment.
Through history, theology, and lived experience, Valerie invites readers to examine how fear, shame, and institutional control have often overshadowed the LDS temple garment’s original symbolic beauty—and how it can be reclaimed as a personal expression of divine connection.
This in-depth eBook learning resource guides you through:
- The LDS temple garment’s early history and symbolic intent
- How cultural literalism and fear distorted its meaning
- The gendered and psychological dimensions of modesty and worthiness
- Pathways toward autonomy, healing, and spiritual ownership
Each section includes thoughtful teaching, contextual insights from Valerie and her guests, and guided reflection prompts designed to help you reclaim sacred meaning in alignment with love, agency, and wholeness.
This downloadable resource is accompanied by the full-length podcast audio file for Episode 222, allowing you to learn and process at your own pace.
Includes:
- Full podcast audio (Episode 222: The Temple Garment: History, Symbolism, and Personal Ownership)
- 35+ pages of guided exercises, checklists, prompts, and reflective journaling space.
