Recognize, Remember, and Treasure the Rays of the Spirit with Brooke Walker

We’re now a couple weeks out of general conference, and perhaps wondering where to start with our studies. Brooke Walker tackles this in today’s episode as well as sharing three things she does to better recognize, remember, and treasure the rays of truth that Heavenly Father sends to us.

Melissa Inouye: Why Loving One Another Is More Than Bringing Casseroles

Identity, creating understanding, covenants, a worldwide Church, faith crises, change in the Church—these are topics Melissa Inouye, a scholar, addresses in an effort to explain how she has “found the fruits of this life (the life of a Latter-day Saint) to be worthwhile—costly, to be sure, but also rich and nourishing, a source of deep joy.”

Mosiah 1–3: Preserve

The people of King Benjamin gathered, with tents pointed to the temple, to hear the words in this week’s reading of Mosiah 1–3. It was a time to give offerings, crown a new king, and hear the word of God from his mouthpiece. And that message starts with the Plan of Salvation, centered on the Atonement of Christ.

Mosiah 4–6: Believe

There is a familiar refrain in King Benjamin’s address. It comes up like the chorus in a great hymn multiple times during this week’s Come, Follow Me lesson of Mosiah 4–6. He asks his people, and us, to believe. Believe on the name of Christ and all the things He can do. And hopefully, our reaction can mirror his people’s when they rejoiced and said, “Yea, we believe” (Mosiah 5:2).

Finding Hope and Learning to Let Go with Maria Eckersley

In this episode, Maria Eckersley explains her own “beggar’s coat” that Elder Massimo De Feo shared in his recent general conference address. The thing that we have a hard time letting go of can often be the thing that will bring us closer to the Savior when we finally do. So how can put those things aside and trust in the plan? Let’s chat about it!

Michael Huston: Lament—A Faithful Complaint to God

While sitting in a class at the theological seminary he attended, Michael Huston was floored when he heard his teacher say these words: “Lament is faithfully complaining to God.” The teacher went on to say, “Lament is the way you worship to God from within pain.” Huston describes the feeling he felt that day as exhaling a breath he had been holding for a very long time. On this week’s episode, he explains why he hopes to help others find that same relief in the concept of lament.

Mosiah 7–10: Seer

It’s been a month since the last general conference. The messages are available to go back and read, and we’ve had an opportunity to let their words soak in. The last two weeks in Come, Follow Me also cover a conference of sorts when King Benjamin spoke to his people. Now, along with our study of Mosiah 7–10, we’ll relate this message on the power of prophets to the most recent words from our living prophets and general authorities today.

Peace, Hope, and Comfort Are Miracles of Prayer with Kaylen Nelson

This year we felt the Spirit when a special message was given to us from newly set apart acting president of the Quorum of the Twelve, President Holland. He reminded us that, “God hears every prayer we offer and responds to each of them according to the path He has outlined for our perfection.”

Unnamed Women in the Book of Mormon: Sariah and her Daughters

The scriptures are filled with stories of women once you start looking for them. In conjunction with our weekly Come, Follow Me podcast, this bonus series will explore accounts of women throughout the standard works, focusing on the Book of Mormon this year. Did you know that the only time the word “sisters” is mentioned in the Book of Mormon is when it refers to Nephi’s sisters? Today, we’ll talk about the sacrifices and faith of the women—named and unnamed—of the first family in the Book of Mormon and what we can learn from their examples.

Unnamed Women of the Book of Mormon: Artistic Depictions of Women

Art forms an impression on our minds. When we visualize scripture stories, it’s often in the style we’ve seen before through art. It’s easy to picture Nephi’s family on the boat, Moroni praying over the plates, Abinadi before King Noah, and more. But can you picture the women from the Book of Mormon? There’s art for them, too.
