What Does it Mean to be a Prophetess?
by Autumn Dickson
In a day and age where many are curious as to why women can’t hold specific positions in the church or be ordained to priesthood offices, reading about Deborah the prophetess can be confusing. Here is a verse that describes her as a prophetess.
Judges 4:4 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
If Deborah can be a prophetess, can we have a prophetess in our day? What does it even mean that she was a prophetess and what are the implications for women in the latter days? [Read more…] about Come, Follow Me with FAIR – Judges 2–4; 6–8; 13–16 – Part 1 – Autumn Dickson
He Is Risen
In his April 2026 General Conference address, “He Is Risen,” Ronald A. Rasband teaches that the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is not a peripheral belief—it is the very foundation of our faith and the source of our greatest hope.
In a world where many view the Resurrection as symbolic or distant, an important question emerges: What changes when we truly place Christ’s Resurrection at the center of our belief? [Read more…] about He Is Risen

Rahab: From Prostitute to Type of Christ
by Autumn Dickson
How could I not take some time to speak about Rahab? She was incredible. Here is our introduction to Rahab.
Joshua 2:1 And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlot’s house, named Rahab, and lodged there.
Rahab was a prostitute who hid Israeli spies as they were coming to look at Jericho. In exchange for hiding them, she asked them to spare her and her family. They gave her a red cord to put in the window, and all of Jericho was destroyed except for her and her family.

Why They Marched Around Jericho 7 Times
by Autumn Dickson
The Fall of Jericho is epic for many reasons. There are a lot of details that we could talk about that would teach us about the Savior, but let’s just cover a few.
Jericho was a large city that was meant for the Israelites. The Lord was helping them gain their land one bit at a time. When Jericho saw the Israelites coming, they closed their gates and settled in for a siege. The Lord commanded the Israelites to circle the city every day for six days. Then on the last day, they were to do this. [Read more…] about Come, Follow Me with FAIR – Joshua 1–8; 23–24 – Part 1 – Autumn Dickson
Come Home
In his April 2026 General Conference address, “Come Home,” Clark G. Gilbert teaches that no matter how far we may feel from God, the Savior is actively and personally inviting us to return.
But that invitation raises an important question: If Christ is calling us back, what is our role in actually coming home? [Read more…] about Come Home

The Promised Land You Can’t Enter Yet
by Autumn Dickson
In the chapters this week, Moses is led to the top of a mountain where he is shown the promised land.
Deuteronomy 34: 1, 4
1 And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And the Lord shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan…
4 And the Lord said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.
Interestingly enough, despite the fact that the Lord led him there to show him the promised land, Moses wasn’t allowed to go into the promised land because of prior disobedience. He had led the Israelites out of Egypt and across the wilderness. It had not been easy. At one point, Moses had even asked the Lord to kill him rather than deal with the Israelites anymore. Moses suffered plenty of hardship, and he learned many great and important lessons. [Read more…] about Come, Follow Me with FAIR – Deuteronomy 6–8; 15; 18; 29–30; 34 – Part 2 – Autumn Dickson
