Nearly all Christians believe Christ died for our sins, providing Latter-day Saints with a perfect opportunity to build on common beliefs. Unfortunately, we sometimes instead focus on our differences.

His YouTube videos have been viewed over 1 billion times, but Devin Graham is more concerned about sharing things he is passionate about—one of those things being his faith.

Nish Weiseth is a faithful Christian and an author. She is not a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but until recently, she lived in an area highly populated by members of the Church, including Latter-day Saint author Emily Belle Freeman. The two became friends, and soon Weiseth began doing things that may have seemed odd from the outside looking in, such as watching every session of general conference and earning her Young Women medallion. Weiseth and Freeman recently sat down with All In podcast host Morgan Jones to discuss their unique friendship and their desire to learn more about each other’s respective faiths.

In a Washington Post opinion piece about social mobility in the United States, columnist Fareed Zakaria says “cities with strong families, civic support groups and a community-service orientation do well on social and economic mobility.” He notes that this is “why Salt Lake City — dominated by Mormons — has mobility levels that compare with” countries in northern Europe that “do better at moving poor people up the ladder than the United States does." Salt Lake City may not be “dominated” by Mormons, but the Latter-day Saints there consider it a religious duty to help their neighbors.Zakaria calls this fabric of community relationships “social capital,” and it’s one of the values that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints lives by. What’s more, this same “social capital” is greatly boosted by religion. Several commentaries on MormonNewsroom.org explain how Mormon faith and practice help create strong families and robust communities. But it’s not only Mormons. All people of faith nurture social capital in their efforts to make the world a better place.
