Lindsey Williams
- On a recent trip to India, Jane Clayson Johnson had the opportunity to meet and serve individuals affected by leprosy.

David Butler on How We Have More in Common with Wandering Sheep than We Realize
David Butler, Adapted from "Redeemer: Who He Is and Who He Will Always Be"
- When my oldest boys were little, I took them to an amusement park because I’m such a rocking dad. During lunch, while we were all standing in line for a million-dollar hamburger, I looked down to where my son Jack had been standing right next to me. He wasn’t there. I was sort of bugged to lose my spot in line, but I figured he had wandered back to the rest of our crew who were saving a table, so I left the line to check at the table only to find them Jack-less. No sign of him. I started to...

Danielle Christensen
- ESPN released a list of the top 150 coaches over more than a century of college football—and Brigham Young University’s Lavell Edwards made the cut. Selected by a blue-ribbon panel of 150 media members, administrators, and former players and coaches , the article takes a look at how coaches define eras in football. Covering coaches from Notre Dame’s Knute Rockne, who debuted in 1918 and is ranked no. 3 on the list, to Alabama’s Nick Saban, who ranks no. 2, the list might be subject to debate—but it’s just for entertainment, ESPN stated.

Danielle Christensen

From consulting with historians and biblical scholars to having the entire dialogue spoken in Aramaic without subtitles, there are a number of conscious decisions that made the video stand apart...
What One College Student Learned about True Fellowship while Attending another Church Service
Brad Richins
- One of the journalism classes that I am currently enrolled in at Utah Valley University is a course that studies the Church, its members, the culture within the Church, and how those outside of the Church view the faith and its members. I have learned many things over the course of the last few months in this class and I will admit it has challenged me to think more deeply about my faith. One of the assignments my professor gave at the beginning of the semester was to attend a church service that was different from our own regular worship services...

4 Tips to Help You Focus During the Sacrament
LDS Living Staff
- The following article originally ran on LDS Living in September 2015. When Jesus visited the Americas after His death, He told the people this: "And it shall be a testimony unto the Father that ye do always remember me" (3 Nephi 18:7). But obviously it’s a real struggle to remember Christ as much as He would like. There is, however, one set-aside event where our only goal is to think about Christ and His sacrifice for us: sacrament meeting. Picture the following scene in your mind: The sacrament begins. You bow your head for the prayer and a crick in your neck...
