In his April 2026 General Conference address, Elder Patrick Kearon taught that Church callings are much more than assignments to fill vacancies or keep a congregation functioning. They are inspired invitations to join Jesus Christ in His redeeming work while allowing Him to refine our own hearts through service. Looking back on his first calling as a newly baptized member, Elder Kearon recognized that what once seemed unexpected became one of the Lord’s greatest tools for his growth.
I could see the Lord working through imperfect servants. . .who were striving to discern His will for those they were serving.
In his April 2026 General Conference address, “Come Unto Christ—Together,” Elder Taniela B. Wakolo taught that God’s plan of salvation is ultimately about bringing His children to Christ and uniting families eternally. Drawing from scripture and personal experiences, he reminded listeners that the Lord works patiently with individuals and families, honoring agency while inviting all to receive the blessings of the gospel.
One criticism frequently raised about Latter-day Saint teachings is that temple ordinances and eternal family doctrine create division between believing and non-believing family members. Elder Wakolo’s message offers a different perspective: the gospel is not intended to separate families but to help unite them through Christ. [Read more…] about Come unto Christ—Together

In his April 2026 General Conference address, “Glorying in Jesus Christ,” Elder Aaron T. Hall reflected on Nephi’s powerful declaration: “I glory in my Jesus.” He taught that true discipleship involves more than believing in Jesus Christ—it means coming to know Him personally through the many ways He acts in our lives. By understanding His divine names and roles as Redeemer, Shepherd, Healer, Advocate, Deliverer, and more, we discover not only who Christ is, but who He can become to us.

Why did King Josiah remove objects from the temple?
King Josiah removed temple objects because many had become closely associated with pagan worship and Assyrian religious practices. Rather than rejecting the temple itself, he sought to restore covenant worship by removing symbols that no longer pointed people toward God. According to this episode, these reforms represented spiritual cleansing and covenant renewal rather than political power or religious innovation.
King Josiah inherited Judah during a period of political, economic, and spiritual collapse.
The rediscovery of the Book of the Law sparked a national covenant renewal rather than the creation of a new religion.
Many temple objects Josiah removed had become symbols of idolatry under Assyrian influence.
Jeremiah praised Josiah for defending the poor, seeking justice, and remaining faithful to God’s covenant.
Josiah’s death at Megiddo marked the end of Judah’s last righteous king before the Babylonian captivity.
In his April 2026 General Conference address, “Keys, Covenants, and Easter,” Elder Quentin L. Cook connected the Savior’s Resurrection with one of the most significant events of the Restoration: the appearance of Jesus Christ, Moses, Elias, and Elijah in the Kirtland Temple. Elder Cook taught that the priesthood keys restored there are central to God’s plan to unite His children and families eternally.
But some people wonder why priesthood keys and temple sealing ordinances matter at all. Aren’t they simply later additions to Christianity? Elder Cook’s message offers a powerful answer: these restored keys are not peripheral doctrines—they are part of the Savior’s work to bring God’s children back into His presence.

In his April 2026 General Conference address, “I Will Give Away All My Sins to Know Thee,” Elder Wan-Liang Wu teaches that coming to know God is not merely a matter of belief—it requires faith in Jesus Christ, repentance, and a willingness to change. Through Christ, we can come to know our Heavenly Father and receive the gift of eternal life.
“What are we willing to give up or change to truly know God and be saved at the last day?” [Read more…] about Giving Away Our Sins to Know God
In his April 2026 General Conference address, “Eternal Marriage Is an Eternal Journey,” Neil L. Andersen teaches that eternal marriage is not simply a sacred moment at the altar; it is a lifelong and eternal process of becoming more like Jesus Christ.
While the wedding day is filled with hope and promise, the reality of marriage raises an important question: What sustains a relationship not just for a lifetime, but for eternity? [Read more…] about Eternal Marriage Is an Eternal Journey
In his April 2026 General Conference address,“’Tis Eastertide: No One Walks Alone,” Gerrit W. Gong teaches that the resurrected Savior does not leave us to walk life’s roads alone—even when we may not recognize His presence.
Drawing on the disciples’ journey to Emmaus, he invites us to see our own lives in that sacred pattern.
Though we did not recognize Him before, He has been walking with us all along.
