In the readings this week, we find three changes for the Jews under the kings in Persia. There were three men who helped with these changes.
First, we have Zerubbabel, a Jewish governor who worked tirelessly to build the temple. [Read more…] about Come, Follow Me with FAIR – Ezra 1; 3–7; Nehemiah 2; 4–6; 8– Part 2 – Autumn Dickson
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, “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 1 Samuel 17, we read about one of the most famous stories in the Old Testament: David and Goliath. It’s an incredible story of faith that can teach us a lot about following Christ. The fact that David saved the Israelites was a big deal, but how he defeated Goliath is likewise significant. Let’s talk about a couple of those “hows.”
Goliath taunts the Israelites for 40 days. David comes forward and offers to battle Goliath. Saul agrees, and he even puts his own armor on David. It doesn’t go well… [Read more…] about Come, Follow Me with FAIR – 1 Samuel 17–18; 24–26; 2 Samuel 5–7 – Part 2 – Autumn Dickson
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
In his April 2026 General Conference address, “Lost Luggage, Redeemed Souls,” Gary E. Stevenson uses the imagery of lost luggage to teach a powerful truth: while items may be misplaced or forgotten, souls are never lost to God.
Each person carries a divine identity and eternal worth, even if they feel distant, forgotten, or off course. [Read more…] about Lost Luggage, Redeemed Souls
