In his October 2025 General Conference address, “Jesus Christ and Your New Beginning,” Elder Patrick Kearon testified of a foundational gospel truth: through Jesus Christ, new beginnings are always possible. He speaks directly to those who feel worn down by repeated failure, long absence, or discouragement, and who quietly wonder whether they have moved beyond the reach of real change.

God Will Pause to Save You
by Autumn Dickson
I got a little lost as I was reading in Abraham at 6:00 am after staying up too late reading a book. Abraham had received a vision that showed him the workmanship of the Lord’s hands. He discerned a whole lot, and then the Lord started explaining some deeper things to him. I was pretty tired, and my mind drifted until I came across this verse.

In Similitude; Becoming Full of Grace and Truth
by Autumn Dickson
Before we jump straight into the Old Testament and the Creation story, we have an opportunity to read in Moses and Abraham. There are many truths that were restored through these works, and there are many truths we already know that are echoed. In Moses this week, we read about a vision that Moses was given on the top of a high mountain where Heavenly Father was speaking to him. Here is a verse from that vision.

Forsake Not Your Own Mercy
In his October 2025 General Conference address, “Forsake Not Your Own Mercy,” Elder Matthew S. Holland taught a compassionate and clarifying truth about God’s mercy and our tendency to withdraw from it. Drawing on the story of Jonah, he showed how feelings of fear, shame, or inadequacy can lead individuals to distance themselves from God—not because mercy has been withdrawn, but because they mistakenly believe they no longer qualify for it.
Elder Holland firmly corrects this misunderstanding. Divine help is not reserved for those who have already fixed themselves. God’s mercy is active, immediate, and available precisely because we are imperfect. [Read more…] about Forsake Not Your Own Mercy

How to Fall in Love With the Old Testament This Year
by Autumn Dickson
This week is an introduction to the Old Testament rather than any specific group of scripture. With my last post for this scripture block, I testified of the value of studying the Old Testament. With this post, I want to talk about a couple of things we can do to maximize what we take out of it.

The Lord Looketh on the Heart
In his October 2025 General Conference address, “The Lord Looketh on the Heart,” Elder Sergio R. Barcellos taught that God’s measure of discipleship is fundamentally different from the world’s. While people often evaluate faithfulness by outward appearance, performance, or visible success, the Lord looks first at the heart—our desires, intentions, and willingness to turn toward Him.
Elder Barcellos emphasized that this inward focus does not diminish obedience or covenant living. Rather, it places them in their proper order. True discipleship begins with the heart. When the heart is turned to Christ, outward obedience follows naturally and meaningfully.
This invites a careful reconsideration of how discipleship is sometimes measured.
All God needs to accomplish His purposes and to help us become who He wants us to become is for each of us to turn our hearts fully to Him.

Jesus’ Lineage; Our Lineage
by Autumn Dickson
I opened up the New Testament this week to study the birth of Christ. I ended up down a bit of a rabbit hole, and I’m going to take you to part of it with me. My rabbit hole took me all over the place, but I’m going to try and simplify it into some basic ideas. It’s going to be very technical at first and there are some nice enough implications, but then I want to more broadly apply it to the rest of us.

The Cost of Christmas
by Autumn Dickson
Christ is the center figure in history. He was the promised Messiah who saved and changed the world. He brings light into the world. He created the world.
But a long time ago, He was just a baby that was born in a small town to a couple who had just begun their life together. Despite all that it cost them, they welcomed Christ into this world. [Read more…] about Come, Follow Me with FAIR – Christmas – Part 1 – Autumn Dickson

The True Definition of “Preside”
by Autumn Dickson
The Family Proclamation turned 30 this year. It is a document that teaches about God’s plan for families. Though many believe it to be outdated, I testify of its ongoing relevance. Its principles hold truth that can protect and save. If everyone went home and tried to follow the principles within this document, society would evolve overnight.
