Am I actually receiving revelation from the Spirit, or did I make up my answer? Here’s how to tell the difference
Danielle Christensen
- This article was originally published in August 2020. The principle of revelation can be hard to understand, especially when it comes to anxiety. How can you tell if you’ve made up an answer or if it’s actually revelation from God? Is the Spirit warning you about something, or is it your anxiety getting in the way? A Deseret Book Live! video answers these issues and more in “ Real Questions: Personal Revelation .” In this segment, artist Kate Lee hosts a discussion between individuals with questions and professionals in order to discover what seeking personal revelation looks like in everyday life....
Latter-day Saint psychologist: Finding happiness regardless of your circumstance
Dr. David T. Morgan, Contributor
- When I was little, I begged my parents to let me stay up until midnight on New Year’s Eve. I wanted to experience that magical moment when the old year passed, and the moment when a new year began. Sometimes they would humor me and set the clocks forward so that we could “ring in” the new year at 8:00 p.m. As I’ve grown older, I’ve struggled to stay awake until midnight but have had ample opportunities to witness the dawn of the new year. I have to say, it’s not as dramatic as my young, innocent brain imagined it to...

What ‘Harry Potter’ taught this Latter-day Saint about true friendship that gave him the courage to come out to his friends
Ben Schilaty, excerpted from “A Walk in My Shoes: Questions I'm Often Asked as a Gay Latter-day Saint”
- I kept a secret journal for my biggest secret. There are only eleven entries in it, and they are filled with fear, hope, and the most honest things I’d ever written. Part of my first entry on June 27, 2007, says, “Since I was a teenager I have struggled with same-gender attraction. This is the first time I’ve ever admitted that fact except in prayer.” I was twenty-three years old. Admitting that on paper was a big deal because admitting it made it real. I went on to say how afraid I was of leaving the Church. I wrote openly for...
What is tithing money actually spent on?
Haley Lundberg
- As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we are asked to pay one-tenth of our income to the Lord through His Church. The Church's Gospel Topics page on tithing explains, “By paying tithing, Church members show their gratitude to God for their blessings and their resolve to trust in the Lord rather than in material things. They also help further the work of the Lord in the earth, blessing others of God’s children with the opportunity to learn of Him and grow in the gospel.” But what does that mean specifically? How are we directly helping to...
