There have been six official proclamations in the 195 year history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and this year is the 30th anniversary of The Family: A Proclamation to the World. On today's episode we are talking with church historians about all six, what they meant for the saints at the time, and what it means when there is a proclamation issued. And even though some are almost 100 years old we will ask what eternal truths can be learned from their words.

Linking Our Hearts and Lifting Each Other Today and Across Generations

As Magnify women, through life’s many and varied adventures, we hold tight to the Lord’s promise in D&C 122:7 “that all these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good.” We've learned that one of the ways we reap from this goodness is in how we can turn around and share what we’ve learned with others and help them along their path. Our lives become a collection of opportunities and testimony of moments that we can pull from later to be of service to each other.

Sharon Eubank: Becoming the Hands of Christ at Christmas

What if the greatest gift of Christmas isn’t something we buy, but something we become? Sharon Eubank, global humanitarian director for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, shares what she’s learned about meaningful giving—and how each of us can better serve and lift others this holiday season.

Christmas: Asking Again

We made it to the end of the year studying the Doctrine and Covenants, a book of questions and answers. At the beginning of 2025 we set out to A.S.K. (Always Seeking more Knowledge), so how did you do? Did you feel your relationship with Christ strengthen through receiving answers? We hope so, and we brought on a family of guests today to share some of their favorite Doctrine and Covenants scriptures that have brought them through times of good and times of trial. Happy Holidays from the Sunday on Monday podcast, and we’ll see you again for the Old Testament.

Drawing Power and Strength from the Scriptures

Creating a healthy relationship with scripture study moves it beyond the checklist to something we treasure and draw strength from. Being in the scriptures with the intent to receive personal revelation empowers us and emboldens our faith. When we seek guidance in scripture, we can receive inspiration to comfort and guide family members in the moment they need it, share our faith more boldly, and speak with confidence. And we fear the things of the world less because we learn even more deeply that God is in every story.

Intro to the Old Testament (Dec 29–Jan 4)

The Old Testament can be read as a study manual to prepare for the Atonement of Christ. Jesus is everywhere to be found in the Old Testament narrative especially when you read with a keen eye to the original Hebrew. To start our Come, Follow Me study this year we are looking at how translations can give us more insight to covenants and our relationship with Christ.

The Key to More Daily Happiness and Joy

Taking everyday moments to testify of Christ becomes normal and natural the more we speak of Him. As we listen to promptings then act on opportunities to joyfully share about Jesus Christ and His gospel, we become more articulate in sharing our faith. And the more we act on promptings to share about Jesus, the more inspiration we receive to help and lift others which increases our happiness. It’s a beautiful cycle, and we get to be part of it.

Powerfully Sharing God's Light through Our Gifts and Talents

Our gifts and talents are a powerful way to share God's love with others. Today's guest, artist Eva Timothy, shares from her life experience that when we humbly reach out to God through prayer, with the desire to glorify Him, He will help those gifts shine. As women, we contain multitudes, each of us at different life stages and varied life circumstances. Our loving Heavenly Father knows where we’re at and what we can give, which is precisely why our individual traits, gifts, and talents are exactly what God needs from us. We don’t need to start a new hobby or change our personality. When we channel our unique gifts through the lens of God’s love then, like the loaves and fishes, our efforts and talents are multiplied, bringing more light and hope to the world around us.

Ben Hammond: Breathing Life Into Sculpture

On this week’s episode, Ben shares how his life and career have been shaped—piece by piece—by the Master Sculptor.

Genesis 18-23 (Feb 23–March 1)

This week, we delve into the final seven trials of Abraham and Sarah. These chapters illustrate ancient patterns of testing, and how trials are meant to refine our character. We learn how God’s promises are fulfilled not in spite of our trials, but through our faithful endurance of them.
