May Christ Lift Thee

by Autumn Dickson

I had an experience right before I went on my mission. An article had come out about Texas making abortion more legal and accessible. I want to be very clear here in the beginning that this post is not about abortion itself. This is the story I’m choosing to tell in order to teach my principle, but the principle isn’t actually regarding abortion. [Read more…] about Come, Follow Me with FAIR – Moroni 7–9 – Autumn Dickson

Trusting God’s Boundaries: Faithfully Navigating Modern Challenges

by

Can faith and trust in God’s guidance coexist with personal doubts?

Elder David P. Homer’s recent General Conference address, “Trusting Our Father,” explores a fundamental question: How can we fully trust God’s will, even when it challenges our own understanding? Drawing on historical and scriptural examples, Elder Homer emphasizes that God’s boundaries are eternal and defined by His love for us. As we seek to understand these divine truths, this talk offers valuable insights for those facing doubts or challenges to their faith.

Moroni and Loneliness

by Autumn Dickson

Moroni understood the concept of loneliness. Even before all of his people were wiped out, Moroni practiced his beliefs on his own except for his father. He likely found himself surrounded by his peers, unable to connect with them because of gaping differences in beliefs, desires, and values. People probably didn’t understand him, and though he loved his people, he probably still felt awfully alone. [Read more…] about Come, Follow Me with FAIR – Moroni 1–6 – Autumn Dickson

Valuable Weakness

by Autumn Dickson

For the chapters this week, we go back and forth a bit between Moroni speaking directly and his abridgment of the Jaredite record. Whenever Moroni is directly speaking (and this is true of the chapters that we read in Mormon as well), we find that Moroni is really concerned about his weakness in writing. He talks about it plenty in Mormon, and he brings it up again during these chapters in Ether. He did not believe himself to be a strong writer, and this was probably exacerbated by the fact that he was simultaneously dealing with a myriad of personal problems.

Aligning Our Will with His: Finding Purpose and Peace through Submission to God

by

What does it mean to align our will with God’s? Elder Ulisses Soares’s recent General Conference address, “Aligning Our Will with His,” offers profound insights into the nature of discipleship, obedience, and the eternal rewards of yielding to God’s will. For many members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—and those curious about the faith—questions surrounding submission to God, eternal life, and following His plan surface frequently. Elder Soares’s teachings provide a rich perspective, particularly for those experiencing faith-related concerns or questioning the principles of obedience, agency, and the balance between personal and divine will.

A Tiny Hinge

by Autumn Dickson

In the chapters of Ether this week, we watch kingdoms rise and fall with few details. There were plenty of general patterns of righteousness and wickedness, and we likely missed a great many details in the abridged version. On the flip side, there were certain stories that Moroni chose to include. Recognizing which stories and details he prioritized can help us understand the gravity of certain principles.

Faithful Foundations: Avoiding Spiritual Blindness in Times of Prosperity

by

What happens when prosperity becomes a pitfall? Can the blessings of wealth and comfort inadvertently lead us away from God?

In his powerful address, “In the Space of Not Many Years”, Elder David A. Bednar shares insights from the Book of Mormon, emphasizing how even a blessed and righteous people can fall if they become blinded by pride. Drawing on teachings from President Ezra Taft Benson, Elder Bednar reminds us that the Book of Mormon is not only a historical account but also a guide for our time. As we examine the warnings and contrasts between the Nephites and the Lamanites, we uncover lessons on faithfulness, humility, and the spiritual dangers of self-sufficiency over dependence on God.

Faith-Building Experiences

by Autumn Dickson

We have now moved into the book of Ether. Though the people described in the book of Ether occurred before the rest of The Book of Mormon, this record was inserted towards the end of The Book of Mormon. Moroni was the one who worked to add these plates to the records that had been kept by the Nephites. Though the book of Ether ends in tragedy, there are also recorded stories of extremely righteous people. [Read more…] about Come, Follow Me with FAIR – Ether 1–5 – Autumn Dickson
