Charlie Bird answers: ‘If there were a button that could make you straight, would you press it?’

The J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles sits boldly over the hills of Santa Monica. The modern building boasts a myriad of fountains and soaring terraces that provide 360-degree views of the surrounding valley and hills. Inside, Western art from the Middle Ages to the present is displayed. Among my favorite pieces housed in the museum is a small collection of paintings by Claude Monet. The first time I saw a Monet was there at the Getty. I rushed into the room, beyond excited to finally see my favorite artist’s works in real life. I turned the corner and came face-to-face with the first painting on display.

Perhaps it is only fitting that the Kirtland Temple reopened under the Church’s ownership this week. On this week’s episode, Elder Kyle S. McKay shares how history and an understanding of our heritage strengthens our own faith.

Now, a decade later, Cassidy reflects on her journey through grief, healing, and unshakable faith. In this week’s episode, she shares how the gospel of Jesus Christ has sustained her, the peace she’s found in His promises, and the hope of being reunited with her loved ones again.
