Despite challenges, LDS musician continues career of optimism and faith
Atop Utah’s Mount Olympus sits a mailbox. Rusty and battered, the mailbox contains a sheet of paper listing the names of individuals who have scaled the mountain to its peak. In June 2010, LDS musician Paul Cardall added his name to the list, exemplifying his triumph in a life full of adversity. Cardall was born with congenital heart disease, but despite challenges, has become a successful musician, father and friend. His music expresses his faith in the miracles of God.
Teens anchored to faith in many ways beyond praying and church attendance
Usually when social scientists want to study the religiousness of teens, they pick a few variables, make a hypothesis and break out the bubble sheets. But this time, BYU professor of family life David Dollahite wanted to let the adolescents speak for themselves. So, instead of asking, "How often do you pray?" "How often do you go to church?" and "How religious do you consider yourself?" he gave 80 teens from northern California and the New England area a chance to share their feelings through open-ended questions.

Balancing faith and mental health
A young mother struggling with bulimia was asked one day by her therapist if she ever prayed. “She lived on a small farm, had a simple life and she was a wonderful mother,” said Michael Berrett, a psychologist who specializes in eating disorders. “But she hated herself with a passion. She was throwing up five times a day.”
The surprising faith of 8 American presidents
Presidential religious lives are, for the most part, rather unremarkable--just like the majority of Americans they represent. As the 2012 presidential race, and especially the Republican nomination, dominate the news, the religion of the sometimes-frontrunner Mitt Romney continues to be an issue for many Republican voters. Americans have a hard time imagining a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, a Mormon, as President. Yet Mormonism is, perhaps, the most American of all religions, founded by an American citizen and based on a sacred text that tells the story of God's work in the Americas. As many question Romney's religious heritage, it would be enlightening to look at eight presidents whose religious lives have troubled and fascinated Americans, or whose faiths may surprise us even today.
Defending the Faith: Moral law is no product of evolution
In one of his dialogues, the Greek philosopher Plato cites his beloved teacher, Socrates, as saying that "philosophy begins in wonder."

When faith and football don't mix
Where's the line between freedom of religion and the separation of church and state? It's a question many cities and particularly public schools have had to ask in the past few months. Most recently, a group of high school cheerleaders in Texas have come under fire for using biblical quotes and banners at football games. While the Constitution does support an individual's right to worship, it also frowns upon the state, or in this case a state-sponsored school, endorsing a religion. Thus, public schools must walk a blurry line between allowing participants to express personal beliefs without those beliefs being attached to the school as an endorsement.
