In his April 2026 General Conference address, Elder Eduardo F. Ortega taught that becoming a lifelong disciple of Jesus Christ requires more than inheriting the faith and traditions of those who came before us. Faithful parents, grandparents, and generations of disciples can point us toward Christ; but eventually, each of us must choose to follow Him for ourselves.

In his April 2026 General Conference address, Elder Ulisses Soares taught that Jesus Christ is not simply one helpful voice among many. He is the True Vine—the essential source of spiritual nourishment, strength, truth, and redemption. As branches depend upon a vine for life, disciples depend upon Christ to grow spiritually and bring forth good fruit. [Read more…] about Jesus Christ—the True Vine
In his April 2026 General Conference address, Elder Dale G. Renlund taught that modern life can leave us overwhelmed by competing concerns. Like his little dog Lady trying unsuccessfully to retrieve two balls at once, we may find ourselves running back and forth between questions, problems, responsibilities, and uncertainties until we become confused and discouraged.
Elder Renlund does not suggest that our concerns are imaginary or unimportant. Instead, he teaches us to put them into eternal perspective: [Read more…] about Because of Jesus Christ
In his April 2026 General Conference address, “The Character of Christ,” President D. Todd Christofferson teaches that becoming like the Savior involves more than simply imitating His outward actions. True Christlike character grows from the thoughts, desires, and intents of a heart that is being changed through Jesus Christ.
The gospel therefore asks a deeper question than simply, “What should I do?” It asks, “What kind of person am I becoming?” [Read more…] about The Character of Christ
In his April 2026 General Conference address, “All Who Have Endured Valiantly,” David A. Bednar teaches that enduring to the end is much more than simply surviving life’s challenges.

In her April 2026 General Conference address, Sister Kristin M. Yee teaches that ministering is not simply something disciples of Jesus Christ do—it is part of who they are becoming.

[Read more…] about Ministering— “That Ye Love One Another; as I Have Loved You”
In her April 2026 General Conference address, President Emily Belle Freeman reminds us that spiritual growth rarely happens in a single defining moment. Using the Apostle Peter’s life as her guide, she shows that discipleship is built through repeated experiences with Jesus Christ—moments of revelation, courage, weakness, repentance, and ultimately enduring faith. Even our hardest days can become part of God’s work of shaping us. [Read more…] about Best Days and Worst Days
In his April 2026 General Conference address, Elder Thierry K. Mutombo taught that every covenant God invites us to make is motivated by His perfect love. Rather than imposing unnecessary rules, Heavenly Father gives commandments and covenants because He desires something infinitely greater for His children: an eternity of joy in His presence. Through his own experiences of profound grief, Elder Mutombo testifies that covenant discipleship anchors us to Jesus Christ, whose power makes that eternal promise possible.
Some people see religion as a collection of restrictions that prevent people from living freely or finding happiness. Elder Mutombo offers a very different perspective. God’s commandments are not barriers to joy—they are the path that leads to it. [Read more…] about The Joy of a Covenant Relationship with God
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.
