The Power of Gospel and Church Together: Understanding God’s Design for Our Transformation

by

What does it mean to belong to “His Church”? For many, the concept of belonging to an organized religion feels restrictive or even antiquated. Yet, Elder Dale G. Renlund’s talk, This is My Gospel – This is My Church sheds light on why The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is essential to God’s plan—not just as an institution but as a transformative, power-filled support for individuals. By exploring how the gospel and the Church work in harmony, Elder Renlund offers insights that can help address both common critiques and lingering questions about the Church’s role in the lives of its members. Why does the Church matter, and how does it enable spiritual growth? [Read more…] about The Power of Gospel and Church Together: Understanding God’s Design for Our Transformation

Aligning Our Will with His: Finding Purpose and Peace through Submission to God

by

What does it mean to align our will with God’s? Elder Ulisses Soares’s recent General Conference address, “Aligning Our Will with His,” offers profound insights into the nature of discipleship, obedience, and the eternal rewards of yielding to God’s will. For many members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—and those curious about the faith—questions surrounding submission to God, eternal life, and following His plan surface frequently. Elder Soares’s teachings provide a rich perspective, particularly for those experiencing faith-related concerns or questioning the principles of obedience, agency, and the balance between personal and divine will.

How to Find Peace

by Autumn Dickson

There is a verse in the bible that is probably one of the most quoted and appreciated verses of all time.

He spoke peace to His disciples just a little bit before He went to the garden and suffered. [Read more…] about Come, Follow Me with FAIR – Easter – Autumn Dickson

Evangelical Questions: The Book of Revelation

by Jennifer Roach, MDiv, LMHC

Oh my goodness, we have made it to Week 50. And we’re almost done with this project. The whole goal this year has been to give you a peek into how your Evangelical friends and family see things differently – and how we can approach conversation a little bit differently with them and perhaps have more success sharing the goodness of our faith with them. And it’s been an amazing year for me – I’ve clarified some of my own thinking on this topic and hopefully helped some of you too. I’ve received so many kind and thoughtful notes from some of you that I never could have met any other way, so I’m incredibly grateful for this project.
