Magicians, Satan, and Cheap Imitations
by Autumn Dickson
This week we get to read about some of the plagues that occurred in Egypt before Pharaoh finally released the Israelite slaves. It’s a classic Old Testament story that has been told time and time again. It teaches us about Jesus Christ delivering us from sin, and there are many details that add rich layers to our understanding.
Let’s talk background to the verses I want to talk about today. Moses has told Pharaoh to let the people go, Pharaoh refused, and he gave the Israelites more work. Moses told Pharaoh to release them again, and then Moses turned the river to blood. Here is one of those details I want to talk about.

Taking on the Name of Jesus Christ
In his October 2025 General Conference address, “Taking on the Name of Jesus Christ,” Dale G. Renlund teaches that discipleship is more than belief. It is the process of becoming more like the Savior as we take His name upon us.
He illustrates this through the example of a surgeon who changed his behavior after his name became associated with another. Because of that connection, he chose to act differently. [Read more…] about Taking on the Name of Jesus Christ

A Passover Question For You
by Autumn Dickson
For my last post this week, we talked about some specifics of Passover in order to better reflect on our free status because of Christ. I really love the Passover. My sister does a Passover meal for Easter each year, and there are so many beautiful traditions associated with it that can teach us about Christ if we choose to explore the symbolism. So I want to talk about a different aspect of Passover. [Read more…] about Come, Follow Me with FAIR – Easter – Part 2 – Autumn Dickson
Procedural Developments in the Solemn Assembly
Note: This is the second in a two-part series about solemn assemblies to sustain a President of the Church. The first part addressed current procedures and the principles of solemn assemblies and sustaining Church Presidents.
Since October 1880 when John Taylor was first sustained as the President of the Church, a solemn assembly is held “for the body of the Church to express the voice of the Church in a first sustaining vote for a new President of the Church.”1J. Reuben Clark Jr., Conference Report, October 1945, 3. Although the exact procedures have varied over time, the fundamentals have remain unchanged.
Joseph Smith and Brigham Young
Joseph Smith introduced the special pattern of voting that is now followed in our solemn assemblies. During the dedicatory services of the Kirtland Temple on March 27, 1836, Sidney Rigdon: [Read more…] about Procedural Developments in the Solemn Assembly
The Solemn Assembly
By David W. Smith
Note: This is the first in a two-part series about solemn assemblies to sustain Presidents of the Church. Part 2 is here.
With the passing of President Russell M. Nelson in September 2025, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will soon have the special privilege to participate in a solemn assembly to sustain a new Church president. Because this sustaining is a bit different than the normal sustaining process, it may be helpful to review the procedure and principles of the solemn assembly and sustaining Church leaders.

Reclined. Redeemed.
by Autumn Dickson
This week we celebrate Easter, and with it, the ability of the Savior to redeem us. Because we are studying the Old Testament this year, I’d like to look at the predecessor to the holiday of Easter: Passover. There is a lot of symbolism that comes with the Passover; let’s talk about some of it. [Read more…] about Come, Follow Me with FAIR – Easter – Part 1 – Autumn Dickson
FAIR APRIL 2026 NEWSLETTER – Easter, General Conference, FAIR Conference, and more!
A NOTE FROM FAIR
Hello, friends —
We owe you an apology — and an update. March came and went without a newsletter, and we don’t want you to miss a thing. So consider this our catch-up edition: two months of news, one big announcement, and a lot to be excited about.
Easter weekend is just around the corner. General Conference is days away. And we have some exciting news about this summer’s annual conference that we think you’re going to love. Let’s dive in.
And Now I See
In his October 2025 General Conference address, “And Now I See,” Jeffrey R. Holland teaches that spiritual clarity often comes gradually as we continue forward in faith.
He draws on the Savior’s healing of the blind man, where something as simple as clay made from dust and spittle became the means of a miracle. What may have seemed ordinary or even unexpected became, in the Lord’s hands, the path to sight. [Read more…] about And Now I See
