How I Lost 140 Pounds by Relying on the Lord
Jenny Spencer Hunt
- Losing 140 pounds is no easy feat. Just ask Trent Heppler. Never in a million years did he believe that he would one day shed the weight, let alone run a marathon. But Heppler learned that the power to overcome his physical weaknesses—whatever they may be—comes from a spiritual strength gained through the Savior, Jesus Christ. Growing up overweight and self-conscious, Latter-day Saint Trent Heppler always felt that exercise was just another form of torture invented to make him feel inadequate. But he masked his insecurities well. “I learned at a very early age to poke fun at myself and get...
5 Tips to Make the Sacrament More Meaningful
Truman G. Madsen, adapted from "Sacramental Reflections"
- 1. Get Inspired Introspection In His sacrament—and in all the other ordinances—the Lord gives us glimpses of ourselves. In self-examination we are most blessed when we begin to see ourselves as we are seen by Him and know ourselves as we are known by Him (see D&C 76:94). Knowledge of the Savior and self-knowledge flow together. “Let a man examine himself,” Paul counseled (1 Corinthians 11:28). . . . Whatever our present soul-sicknesses, the Savior sees beyond them. He knows our glorious past—who we were in the premortal spheres. And He can and does envision our destiny and what we are...
How to Accept the Change When a Parent Remarries
Kelsey Berteaux
- More than 50 million remarried people currently live in the United States alone. Two of those people are my parents. In just over 14 months, they went from a couple of 25 years to divorcés to members of new blended families. I and my four adult siblings quite suddenly found ourselves with a stepfather, a stepmother, and five new stepsiblings. And for a long time, I wasn’t really sure where I fit. Feelings like mine, of loss and confusion, are common for adult children of remarrying parents, as are feelings of guilt and frustration from the remarrying parents. And for Latter-day...

Why Teaching Morality Isn’t Enough: How to Teach Children Healthy Sexuality
Christy Kane PhD, CMHC
- Often, in my field of mental health counseling, I am asked by parents, “How do I teach my children about sex as well as morality?” to which I respond, “You don’t.” To such a statement I usually get bewildered looks. I quickly reply, “You teach them healthy sexuality, which is morality.” For far too long, especially in our faith-based culture, there has been a tradition to talk and lecture our teens on morality with a desire to keep them from engaging in premature sexual relations outside the bond of matrimony, while implying that sex is bad, dirty, wrong, and something...

The Harrowing Story of a Convert Missionary Trapped in Civil War
Jeff Hampton
- In 1980, a man named Samuel Doe led a military coup d'état that overthrew the elected government of Liberia. Doe became the country's president, and, over the course of his 10 years in power, Liberia was ravaged by a civil war until rebels eventually assassinated President Doe, who belonged to the Krahn tribe. Suddenly, the life of any Liberian citizen of the Krahn tribe was in danger. One such Krahn was Latter-day Saint John Gaye, who narrowly escaped death on numerous occasions. Most were not so lucky—over 600,000 people died in this, the First Liberian Civil War. Gaye was born and...
