From Sin to Stepping Stone

by Autumn Dickson

This week we get to read about how Adam and Eve made their way out of the garden and into the world that we know today. There are principles here that can change how you see your own efforts to follow Christ. Some of the principles we read about this week have the power to bring you out of perfectionism and into true salvation because they are not the same thing.

Adorned with the Virtue of Temperance

by

In his October 2025 General Conference address, “Adorned with the Virtue of Temperance,” Elder Ulisses Soares taught that temperance is not a secondary or optional trait of discipleship but an essential reinforcement of a life built upon Jesus Christ. Using the imagery of erosion and structural instability, he warned that without deliberate spiritual reinforcement, even faithful disciples can experience weakening foundations.

Not Meant to Be Alone

by Autumn Dickson

The world is so confused. The more I learn about the gospel and the more I observe the world, the more I’m amazed at how lost the world is. The world is constantly seeking happiness, but it still seems so elusive.

I testify that there is joy to be found, and it is found in following the patterns of the Lord. [Read more…] about Come, Follow Me with FAIR – Genesis 1–2; Moses 2–3; Abraham 4–5 – Part 2 – Autumn Dickson

Creation: What I Learned Watching My Husband Build a House

by Autumn Dickson

This week, we read about the Creation story. I don’t have a specific verse to share, but I have an overarching idea that I want you to contemplate while reading the Creation story. There are many principles that we can talk about; we could talk about the power of God or His creative abilities. However, there is one principle I want to focus on because I feel like I’m watching a mini-version of it right before my eyes. These scriptures are rather poignant for me right now.

In Memoriam: Sarah Allen

by

It is with profound sorrow that we share the passing of Sarah Allen, a beloved contributor to FAIR and a devoted defender of faith in Jesus Christ and His restored gospel. Sarah passed away suddenly this weekend, and those of us who knew her are devastated by her loss.

After earlier professional work, Sarah devoted her full energies to helping others navigate difficult questions about Church history, doctrine, and belief. She served with Scripture Central, with FAIR, and in many informal but meaningful spaces where faithful answers were urgently needed. She gave a significant amount of her personal time supporting missionaries and helping them answer questions and defend the faith. [Read more…] about In Memoriam: Sarah Allen

Jesus Christ and Your New Beginning

by

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.
