What I never realized about the 2 verses when Jesus weeps (that reframed my thinking on emotion and the Spirit)

“I’ve often found myself reaching heavenward, eager to be quenched by spiritual sensations, only to come away thirsting for any feeling at all.”

5: Waiting Upon the Lord

In this episode, Isaac Thomas shares the story of how he gained a testimony and joined the church in 1976 at a time when he, as a Black man, could not receive the priesthood. He recounts the heartbreak and joy he found as he faithfully served and waited for a revelation that would restore the Priesthood to every worthy male member of the Church.

43: "O God, Where Art Thou?" (Doctrine and Covenants 121–123)"

"Prison temple." Now there are two words that don’t seem like they belong together. And while these words seem contradictory, they are exactly how Latter-day Saint historians have described the experience of Liberty Jail for Joseph Smith and his friends. As we study Doctrine and Covenants 121–123, we’ll see that while this experience was beyond harrowing, it also had moments of unspeakable sacredness. And we'll learn that we too can have sacred moments of comfort and peace during our most difficult trials.

77: We Are All Connected

Stories in this episode: Julie, Whitney, & Brooke each have a story to tell about the struggle and surprises of a life lived in pursuit of discipleship, but they can't tell their story without one another and they can't tell their story without the extraordinary life of Jonah, the little boy who brought them all together.

What the NY Times, a Congressman, & Mayor Had to Say About Joseph Smith

By Danielle B. Wagner

As Latter-day Saints, we all know that Joseph Smith was a remarkable man, not because of his education, wealth, or status, but because he was a humble servant of the Lord who continued faithful despite persecution, mistakes, and struggles knowing how to lead Christ's Church on earth. He trusted in God, and that made him extraordinary. We know--or at least are working towards a testimony--that Joseph Smith was a prophet called of God.
