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.
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, “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.
In her April 2026 General Conference address, “Here Am I, Send Me,” Susan H. Porter teaches that discipleship begins with a simple but powerful choice: to offer ourselves to God and be willing to act.
From the premortal world, where Jesus Christ said, “Here am I, send me,” to our daily lives now, that same invitation continues.
Heavenly Father can provide miracles when you simply offer what you have. [Read more…] about Here Am I, Send Me
In his April 2026 General Conference address, “Love All; Love Each,” Gérald Caussé teaches that the Savior’s love is both infinite in reach and deeply personal in application.
At times, it may feel easier to think of God’s love in broad terms—extended to all humanity. But the gospel invites a more searching question: Do I believe that Christ’s love is meant specifically for me—and for each individual I encounter? [Read more…] about Love All; Love Each
