Making the Temple a More Intentional and Healing Experience

We’re diving in deep into a topic about how the temple is a place for healing. When we learn about and serve in the temple, many of us may assume that most people are serving in the temple for these three reasons: to feel peace, to serve, and to get answers. But have you ever thought about the temple as a hospital where people come to be healed? So when we were presented with this idea from today’s guest, we were immediately intrigued. Today we’re discussing how to make the temple a more intentional, meaningful, healing experience in your life.

Hang On to the Light and Don’t Let Go

We know that everything happens for a reason, and the scriptures tell us that “all things work together for good.” But sometimes that isn’t a comfort to hear when we’re in the thick of it. But ever since we heard BYU Professor Ellen Knell share that accepting the struggle will ultimately bring sweetness and maning to our lives, her ideas have been on our mind. She gave a BYU address called “Look for the Light” and we wanted to amplify this faithful woman’s voice.

Joy Brings Us Mission and Purpose with Tammy Uzelac Hall

We hope this conversation will set you up well for the new year ahead. The Magnify theme for these next two months is joy and more specifically showing our joy. Harry Emerson Fosdick said, “You can know a real Christian, when you see him [or her], by his buoyancy.” As we set out to be women who magnify the Lord, one way we can do that is by living buoyantly and showing by example that God's plan works.

Understanding our Power, Purpose, and Potential in God’s Kingdom

In his talk entitled, “Spiritual Treasures” given in 2019, President Nelson stated, “The heavens are.. open to women who are endowed with God’s power flowing from their priesthood covenants.” We might read this and wonder, how? As women, we sincerely want to understand how we can better draw upon God’s power. And perhaps, we’d like to know what we might be misunderstanding and where we can grow.

Taysom Hill: Trusting in the Hand of God

CHAPTERS: The Divine Gift of Forgiveness by Neil L. Andersen

Forgiveness is a principle of the gospel that serves as a salve to any and all of our relationships. We hope to receive it from the Savior, and we are promised that through His divine atonement, it is possible. Elder Anderson writes, “As surely as the sun will rise tomorrow, the Savior's divine gifts of repentance and of forgiveness, offered in the beauty of His encompassing love, are certain for those who come unto Him with full purpose of heart.”
