Replacing Myth with Truth: A Better Way to Talk to Your Kids About Pornography
Jason S. Carroll, Chelom Leavitt, Dean M. Busby, Laura M. Padilla-Walker, adapted from "A Better Way to Teach Children About Sex"
- For more resources, videos, and tools to help you speak to your children about pornography, visit the Church's website ChurchofJesusChrist.org/addressing-pornography . Despite the fact that pornography is becoming a common part of our modern culture, most parents still feel ill-equipped to handle these situations when they come up with their children. Sometimes children will voluntarily share their struggles with their parents or priesthood leaders, like Connor did with his parents. But often pornography use is discovered by the parents on a computer or phone, or parents catch their son or daughter using pornography or start to have suspicions about his or...
Pornography: Why It's Crucial to Respond with Love and Know the Difference Between Addiction and Habit
Jason S. Carroll, Chelom Leavitt, Dean M. Busby, Laura M. Padilla-Walker, adapted from "A Better Way to Teach Children About Sex"
- While the following excerpt addresses understanding children and their motivations for pornography use, many of these principles apply to other loved ones. For more resources, videos, and tools for individuals, spouses, and families, visit the Church's website ChurchofJesusChrist.org/addressing-pornography . Most pornography problems are more about maturation than they are about addiction. James and Kelly have noticed that their 14-year-old son, Connor, has become increasingly moody and unhappy. Connor had always been their happy-go-lucky boy who talked to his parents about everything. Initially, they chalked up his mood shift to typical adjustment issues in the junior high years. Plus, they had recently...
Latter-day Saint Played Key Role Getting Men on the Moon + His Experiment That Is Still on the Moon Today
Danielle B. Wagner
- Fifty years ago, Neil Armstrong unveiled a plaque inscribed: "Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon, July 1969, A.D. We came in peace for all mankind." Then, Armstrong stepped from the Apollo 11 lunar module, Eagle , and spoke 11 immortalized words: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." On July 20, 1969, space exploration reached new celestial heights as Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin took a stroll on the moon. In the moon's Sea of Tranquility, Aldrin placed a box on the moon's surface, a solar-powered seismometer that still rests there today....
How Brigham Young Ministered to a Woman Run Over by a Wagon + More Faith-Filled Stories from a Pioneer Family
Lois Thompson Bartholomew
- On June 1, 1801, Brigham Young was born in Whittingham, Widdham County, Vermont. At the same time, approximately 900 miles southwest of Whittingham, four-year-old Elisha Hurd Groves was growing up on a farm in Madison, Kentucky. No one could guess at the time the succession of events that would bring these two men together as they fled their homes and journeyed halfway across the country. Hearing Life-Changing Sermons At the age of 26, Groves married Sarah Hogue Case, a widow with four children. A member of the Presbyterian Church, landowner in Indiana, and farmer, Grove's life changed forever in September 1831....
7 Stories from Elder Uchtdorf Heart-Warming Enough to Be Bedtime Stories
Emily Abel
- Many of the speakers at general conference are natural storytellers. We’re captivated with stories that warn of danger, teach the commandments, and remind us that we are not alone in trials. There seems to be a few, however, that are just pure heart-warming. Elder Uchtdorf in particular always tells the kind of stories that remind you what it felt like to be read a bedtime story as a kid—except these stories are even better because they are based on eternal truth. In reality, everybody, no matter your age, needs a bedtime story every once in a while. Here are some brief...

S. Michael Wilcox: How I Found Healing in the Temple
S. Michael Wilcox
- This article originally ran on LDS Living in January 2015. I enjoyed a very sweet moment one afternoon while participating in sealings in the Jordan River Temple. We were sealing members of families from our ancestry. My daughter and I had found them while searching old wills and censuses. Some questions arose in my mind as I sat there watching the uniting of husband to wife and parent to child. It was not the first time I had pondered these particular questions. What were their relationships like in life? Did they carry pains inflicted upon one another or loving trust? Was...
How Does God's Time Work? How Can He Listen to All Our Prayers at Once?
C. Robert Line
- The following article originally ran on LDS Living in September 2015. In recent years there has been a proliferation of stories, books, and movies that deal with the perception of time. Some have dealt with time or interstellar travel. Others have focused on the relativity of time or its passage during dreams. But whether one is a particle physicist or a cinematic junkie, there seems to be in every soul a desire, even a thirst, to find the meaning of and our place in this baffling concept we call time. Elder Neal A. Maxwell observed, “Time is clearly not our natural...
FHE: The Faith of the Saints
Shauna Gibby
- Conference Talk: For more information on this topic read “Because of Your Faith,” by Jeffrey R. Holland, Ensign , Nov 2010, 6. Thought: We know that the Church draws incomparable strength, a truly unique vitality, from the faith and devotion of every member of this church, whoever you may be (Jeffrey R. Holland, “Because of Your Faith,” Ensign , Nov 2010, 6). Scripture: And it came to pass that Jesus spake unto them, and bade them arise. And they arose from the earth, and he said unto them: Blessed are ye because of your faith. And now behold, my joy is...
5 Talks That Helped Me on My Mission (And Could Help Your Missionary, Too)
Aubrey Porter
- The following article originally appeared on LDS Living in 2015. As a missionary, my favorite part of the day was the hour I had in the morning to do personal study. During those 18 months, I read many inspiring talks from apostles and prophets, and since then our Church leaders have continued to give inspiring messages on the topic . But the following five are still my favorites and helped me the most on my mission. 1. "Missionary Work and the Atonement": Jeffery R. Holland When a missionary comes home after a long and hard day, they can read this and...
12 Ways to Care for Yourself While Caring for Someone with Mental Illness
Debra Sansing Woods
- This article originally ran on LDS Living in June 2015. If someone you love struggles with mental illness—whether it’s depression, bi-polar disorder, schizophrenia, addiction, or another mental health challenge—life can be very difficult for them. But it can also be challenging for you and others who love them. I read once that when one family member is mentally ill, it can be as if the whole family has a mental illness because establishing emotional equilibrium for everyone can be difficult. That being said, it’s important to keep in mind that no two situations are alike. For example, in some cases, the...
