How Imprisonment, Persecution Helped Paul Move Christ's Message Forward
S. Kent Brown
- The setting was an institute class wherein some important dimensions about Acts 16–20 became clear to me. For example, it became apparent that in three instances the Lord had coated his believers with Teflon, so to speak. All instances involved the Apostle Paul in one way or another. Plainly, the Lord watches over his people and orders events for their good, whether they perceive it or not. At Philippi First, in Philippi, Paul and his companions were arrested on the complaint that they had ruined the employment of some handlers of a young woman who had a gift of telling people’s...
Latter-day Saint Movie Review: Does "The Lion King" Live Up to the Classic?
Trina Boice of Movie Review Mom
- What is The Lion King about? It’s been 5 minutes, so that means it’s time for another Disney remake! If you’re like me, you’ve probably seen the 1994 original movie The Lion King at least a dozen times, right? My kids grew up watching it over and over. The story, in a nutshell, is that a lion prince is deceived by his evil uncle and exiled from the kingdom until he grows up and accepts his rightful place as king after his father is killed. Did that synopsis give too much away? Luckily for Disney, nostalgia sells. Is it any good?...
Brooke Romney: The Act of Ministering That Taught Me It's Okay to Need Help from Others
Brooke Romney
- Earlier this year, I was in a really rough spot. I was going through some parenting stuff that consumed my mind, body, and spirit. One day, after dropping my kids at school, I sat in a parking lot praying, crying, and searching for answers. It was the out loud kind of cry, the shake your whole body kind of cry, the kind of cry that comes with words hurled to heaven. I really wanted the Lord to just fix things for me, maybe wave a magic wand or something, but I have enough experience to know that isn’t the way things...

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...
