Expertise
I cannot answer whether or not to divorce someone. I cannot tell you explicitly what to do in any said situation (each person has their own free agency to make their own choice, I only advise). I cannot replace a visit to the bishop. I will look at the situation as unbiasly as possible. I can answer word of wisdom, scripture reference, clergy, organizational, social aspects, easter versus christmas, and semi-taboo subjects (eg. birth control).
Experience
I grew up in the church and continue participating fully in my local ward.
Organizations
Current LDS.
Education/Credentials
Attending BYU currently. Graduated high school.
