An Uncomfortable Offering

by Autumn Dickson

This week, we learn about some of the men and women who supported Joseph in the early days of the restoration. He was supported through friendship as well as monetarily as he worked to complete the translation of The Book of Mormon. We also learn about the restoration of the Aaronic Priesthood. John the Baptist came to Joseph and Oliver and conferred that authority upon them.

Teaching with Power: The Simplicity of Christ’s Doctrine

February 16, 2025 by FAIR Staff

Why Does Simple Truth Have the Greatest Power?

In a world overflowing with opinions, interpretations, and debates, it can be easy to assume that complexity equals depth. Yet, time and again, we see that the simplest, most fundamental doctrines of Jesus Christ carry the greatest power to transform lives. Why is this? And how can we embrace simplicity in a way that strengthens our faith and the faith of our loved ones?

The Power of Pure Doctrine

In his General Conference address, Simple Is the Doctrine of Jesus Christ, President Henry B. Eyring testifies of the profound influence that teaching the doctrine of Christ has in overcoming doubt, fear, and the adversary’s influence. He emphasizes that faith, repentance, baptism, receiving the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end are not just principles to be understood—they are the power of God unto salvation.

Hyrum’s Influence

by Autumn Dickson

When I was younger, I wanted to be a famous singer. This desire followed me into college where I temporarily dropped out of school to pursue a music career. I wanted it so badly. I remember wanting it so much that it would hurt to listen to music on the radio.

I ended up getting really sick, and I left Provo behind. I lived with my parents for about a week before moving in with my sister and her family for six months. Most of my connections were back in Utah, but I kept clinging to that desire. I was doing everything I could to keep my dream going from far away.

Following Christ: Choosing Peace in a Contentious World

February 9, 2025 by FAIR Staff

In a world filled with heated debates, divisive rhetoric, and increasing hostility, how can followers of Jesus Christ navigate discussions with love and clarity? Is it possible to stand firm in faith without contributing to contention?

In his talk Following Christ, President Dallin H. Oaks reminds us that discipleship is a continuous commitment, not an occasional practice. He teaches that to truly follow Christ, we must anchor ourselves in covenants and uphold His commandments, even when the world pressures us otherwise.

In Every Thought

by Autumn Dickson

The Lord is speaking to Joseph and Oliver in the sections that we read for this week. There is a lot of fantastic material about how the Lord sets us up to try something new, knowing we’ll fail, but also knowing that we have to begin in order to learn. There are principles of revelation and how the Lord utilizes our desires to build up His kingdom.

One of the principles that the Lord speaks about is pretty straightforward. [Read more…] about Come, Follow Me with FAIR – Doctrine and Covenants 6–9 – Autumn Dickson

The Man Who Communed with Jehovah: Joseph Smith and the Restoration of Truth

February 2, 2025 by FAIR Staff

How Can We Know That God Answers Us?

Many wonder if God hears their prayers, especially in moments of doubt. The life of Joseph Smith provides a profound response to this question. His experiences illustrate that God is a revealing, personal, and involved being who speaks to those who sincerely seek Him.

A Prophet’s Testimony of Jesus Christ

In his General Conference address, Elder Kyle S. McKay testifies of Jesus Christ through the lens of Joseph Smith’s life. Joseph’s search for truth led to the First Vision, launching the Restoration of the Gospel and demonstrating God’s willingness to respond to sincere seekers. Elder McKay highlights Joseph’s unwavering faith, commitment to repentance, and reliance on revelation, showing how these principles remain vital today.

Joseph’s Repentance

by Autumn Dickson

This week we find Joseph in an early difficult lesson. Martin Harris had faced mounting pressure from his family to abandon Joseph, and Martin wanted to show the early manuscript to his family to gain support. Joseph asked the Lord multiple times despite receiving no’s, and the Lord finally told him to do what he wanted. Martin took the manuscript and lost it. Joseph was devastated and experienced a season of repentance. [Read more…] about Come, Follow Me with FAIR – Doctrine and Covenants 3–5 – Autumn Dickson

The Triumph of Hope: Finding Light Through Christ in Times of Darkness

January 26, 2025 by FAIR Staff

What sustains us when life feels unbearably heavy or when answers to our prayers seem delayed? The answer lies in a living, vibrant gift—hope in Jesus Christ.

In his General Conference talk, The Triumph of Hope, Elder Neil L. Andersen invites us to anchor ourselves in the Savior, Jesus Christ, and His Atonement as the ultimate source of light and joy. Elder Andersen reminds us that hope is not passive wishfulness; rather, it is a divine gift that grows as we strengthen our faith. This talk is particularly relevant for those grappling with questions about faith, adversity, and God’s plan, offering profound insights for overcoming the trials and uncertainties of mortality with confidence in the Savior. Hope, as Elder Andersen teaches, is the antidote to despair and the promise of peace amidst the storms of life.
