Watch: New Video Beautifully Illustrates Elder Uchtdorf's Insights into Feeling "the Call of Heaven"
LDS Living Staff
- Are we hearing the call of heaven and the beckoning calls of our Savior? A recent Mormon Channel video beautifully illustrates the principles Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf taught in his general conference talk " A Yearning for Home. " "I believe that every man, woman, and child has felt the call of heaven at some point in his or her life. Deep within us is a longing to somehow reach past the veil and embrace Heavenly Parents we once knew and cherished," Elder Uchtdorf taught. "Some might suppress this yearning and deaden their souls to its call. But those who...
New York Times Best-Selling Author and Former Bishop Explains Why He Looked to the Bible for Confirmation That He Was Teaching Truth
LDS Living
- Greg McKeown, the guest on this week’s episode of All In , has taught the principles of “essentialism” to some of the biggest and most successful companies in the world, including Apple and Google. His writings have been published in Fortune , Politico, and Harvard Business Review, among others. But he is also a husband, father and former Latter-day Saint bishop who seeks to apply in his own life the principles that he says are found on nearly every page of scripture. “Essentialism” is, as McKeown’s book of the same name says, “The disciplined pursuit of less.” It is a mindset...
With 3 Sons Who Hear and 3 Sons Who Are Deaf, How One Latter-day Saint Family Stays Anchored by Faith
Church News
- Early on in their marriage, Scott and Lori Featherstone describe themselves as being "dirt poor" — it took years before they fully furnished their home. The reason for this, Scott Featherstone explained, was because every spare dime they had went toward buying new hearing aids. Three of the Featherstone’s six sons were born deaf. But Joseph, Zach and Ben Featherstone want to set the record straight: They are just like everybody else. "We want you to feel like you can treat us as your equal. Because we are your equal," Ben Featherstone told the Church News . "I've been in settings...
When Your Life Doesn't Turn Out How You Planned: One Beautiful Truth to Remember
Laurel Christensen, excerpted from "The Faith Experiment"
- I don’t know about you, but I had a “plan A” for my life. (Surely I am not the only girl who attempted to plan out her life.) I remember sitting around with some of my girlfriends one day when we were all in college. We were discussing my “plan A,” and that led to “plan B” ... which led me to think about “plan C.” I sort of wrote out my life plans and realized that I was already on “plan K.” (And this was a problem because I hadn’t even served a mission yet. By the time I went...

How 2 Bible Stories Shaped My Perspective on Mental Illness
Spencer Hyde
- At 6 years old, I realized I cared more about the number of times the windshield wipers moved back and forth than I did about the thunderstorm. At 7, I understood germs to be more prevalent than air. At 8, I found it impossible to focus on anything religious because I was counting the number of vowels in a church-talk, tapping my knee in sets of three in order to stave off a serious illness or a catastrophic event that I believed would wipe away my family, and blinking (alternating left and right eyes) seven times when I saw the color...

Brad Wilcox, Gayle Holdman, Tyler Griffin, Anthony Sweat
- At the announcement of a temple to be built in Rome, Italy, there was an audible gasp throughout the Conference Center in Salt Lake City and, no doubt, in many chapels and members’ homes around the world. Such was the case in Tom Holdman’s home, where he literally jumped from his seat and exclaimed, “I will do that temple glass!” After Tom was contracted to do the windows in the Rome temple, he was also commissioned to create a 20 by 7-foot window for the visitors’ center. This was to be the first image visitors would see as they entered the...
