“President Russell M. Nelson said at our last conference: ‘Do you see what is happening right before our eyes? I pray that we will not miss the majesty of this moment! The Lord is indeed hastening His work.’ “Hastening His work. ‘Hastening’ is a word that matters. It suggests

Are you going through something tough, made a little more difficult because of the holidays? Here’s a reminder and a pep talk. I know I could sure use one today. 💪🙏😌
All of us have experienced challenges and afflictions as part of mortality. We are reminded, “And ye cannot bear all things now; nevertheless, be of good cheer, for I will lead you along. The kingdom is yours and the blessings thereof are yours, and the riches of eternity are

It’s almost Thanksgiving Day. Build bridges. Mend fences. Bury hatchets. Forgive and mean it. Tomorrow is promised to no one! Love people.

I thought this inquiry I received from a young returned missionary in the Philippines during my most recent trip there was an excellent question. My advice to anybody seeking a temple marriage is to observe the faith and righteousness of those with whom you are spending your

My great friend of many years sent me this today… “Prophet showed up unannounced to our sacrament meeting. Let’s say about 1/3 of the parking lot was empty. The Bishop was told someone from the general authority group was going to visit his meeting and would be there in about

To clarify: This post is not about AI ever having a soul. AI cannot evolve itself into having a soul. It will always be artificial intelligence, artificial sentience, the ability to analyze information and reach a conclusion we would deem “reasonable.” AI cannot be wise, though
As long as so many are forecasting a world with artificially-sentient AI, here’s something to consider. 🤔 If AI engines ever became self-aware enough to start arriving at their own conclusions and making autonomous choices, isn’t there a chance that a few of them would conclude

We all thought “no temple announcements at General Conference this time” meant fewer announcements. President Oaks really just said “normalize daily announcements.���
Young women who choose to serve as full-time missionaries may now begin their service at age eighteen. This announcement is a beautiful opportunity for every young woman who feels ready, who feels called, or who feels the desire to share the light and hope of Jesus Christ. The

It’s official. President Oaks said “Merry Christmas.” I heard a sleigh bell in the distance. I’m going in. 🎄
We rejoice in remembering our Savior, Jesus Christ. He was born in humble circumstances. Heavenly angels heralded His birth. He preached the gospel of repentance, hope, and everlasting life. He opened the eyes of the blind, made the deaf to hear, healed all manner of

We’re just getting started. Did you eat your vitamin pills? 😬
The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has decided that beginning in April 2026, general conference will no longer include a Saturday evening session.

It occurs to me that the conundrum for some Latter-Day Saints is “I have to suppress my icky feelings about mortal-life polygamy in order to justify it existing in the early Church and also, to some degree, in heaven. If I don’t, I’m not as spiritually progressed as other

Same. It’s not that it loses its magic (to me). I’m looking for the magic in every day. So when the time comes to mark an occasion like a birthday, there’s nothing lacking. I suppose some people might be depressed. Every day, I’m glad I’m here. Tomorrow is promised to no one.
I have a birthday coming up and I just don’t really care. Do birthdays lose their magic as you get older?

One truth I love that we only have because of modern revelation is this: the Savior’s atoning sacrifice did not begin in Gethsemane and it did not end at Calvary. He chose to descend below all things so He could personally know how to lift every one of us. The Book of Mormon and

How does one come to love anyone that much? You have to get to know them. The more familiar you become, the more astonished you will be at how much They already love you. And that, somehow, gives meaning to the hardest things in life. When you really love someone, you will

I keep seeing the phrase “a testimony of polygamy.” I get it, contextually, but I find it an odd grouping of words. Polygamy happened in the early Church. I believe God really told His people to live that law (some of them, in the single percentile,) for reasons as staunchly

Even Jesus Christ said “Guys, why did you leave out my boy Samuel?” (3 Nephi 23)
Who’s someone person you wish either had a book in the Book of Mormon to themselves or at least had more teachings? I think I would say Abinadi or Samuel the Lamanite!

What was once so obvious as to seem mundane has become so essential in an AI world that we may not survive without it. We are children of a divine species, and God is our Father. This earth was organized by the words of His mouth. It exists to fulfill His plan for us. If we

How I feel after one of Elder Uchtdorf’s pep talks.
My dear friends, no one is perfect in this fallen world. We will all sin and make mistakes. But this is not the end. In the evening, when you kneel down and pray to Heavenly Father, ask for forgiveness, clear your heart, clear your mind, and clear your life through repentance.
