What does it mean to be “all in” the gospel of Jesus Christ? For nearly eight years, Morgan Jones Pearson has explored that very question in over 300 conversations with Latter-day Saints on the All In podcast. In this episode, Morgan joins the Magnify Podcast to reflect on what she’s learned from sitting across from people in the midst of heartbreak, healing, wrestles, and revelations.

The real lives of women of faith—new research on what it really means to believe

A recent study by the Pew Research Center shared statistics that Latter-day Saint women are top of the charts when it comes to experiencing “a deep sense of spiritual peace and well-being on a weekly basis.” We also report the “highest rate of being very happy.” To someone only paying attention to what media and popular culture might say, these statistics might be surprising. But we know why these numbers ring true: we live our faith daily and it really does bring us greater peace and happiness.

Transforming our View of Conflict with Chad Ford

For many of us, peace is something we imagine as a life void of opposition and tension. A calm home. A quiet heart. A life where nothing rubs, nothing breaks, nothing hurts. And while this is certainly aspirational, we know that life has inevitable conflicts. So as followers of Christ, we want to learn not to avoid conflict but instead transform ourselves into people who can navigate disagree, tension, hurt, and disappointment in the way that the Savior would.

D&C 93: Receive of His Fulness

Doctrine and Covenants 93 contains eternal truths that overturned the traditional religious ideas of that time. While it is not the longest section of revelation by the number of verses, it is packed with doctrinal principles—from the nature of God to how we can learn about Him. The light and truth in these scriptures can illuminate the rest of the doctrine that we and the early Saints both will come to understand.

D&C 84: Power of Godliness

Six years ago, in the October 2019 women’s session of general conference, President Nelson said to all the women, “I entreat you to study prayerfully all the truths you can find about priesthood power. You might begin with Doctrine and Covenants sections 84 and 107.” This week, we will be studying the first of those powerful revelations on the oath and covenant of the priesthood and how it holds truths relevant to all of God’s children.

D&C 94-97: Salvation of Zion

The Saints in 1833 were split between two Zions and were commanded to build two temples to bless God’s people. Doctrine and Covenants 94–97 makes the commandment of building temples a priority. Today, temples are still being constructed across the many places we call Zion. And for those of us not on the building committee, we can still make visiting and honoring the house of the Lord a personal priority.

On this week’s episode, the Merediths share their thoughts, at the beginning of a new school year, on how to bloom where you’re planted.

Sharon Eubank: The good we can do today! Making a lasting impact through our service

We all want to help be God's hands, but with so much need in the world it can be hard to know where to begin, and even harder to know if what we do makes a difference. Sharon Eubank is here to help guide our efforts! She offers up a perspective shift to help us do the most good in the world through our individual service, and it doesn't involve donating a huge amount of money or trekking the globe. She also shares how to get to the heart of humanitarian work in our own communities, and the immeasurable good we can do in the world when we genuinely connect with each other as Christ would.

The Holy Invitation by Anthony Sweat

The Latter-day temple experience may seem abstract and hard to grasp, but author and professor Anthony Sweat offers a different way in—making the temple endowment more vivid and tangible.

D&C 102-105: After Much Tribulation

Doctrine and Covenants 102–105 contains instructions for the Camp of Israel, later referred to as Zion’s Camp. In the summer of 1834, Zion’s Camp marched from Michigan, Ohio, and New York to assist the persecuted Saints in Missouri. Their volunteer numbers were few, but those who went learned a valuable lesson about trials and blessings. And the ending revelation to this armed march was a message to “sue for peace … to all people” (Doctrine and Covenants 105:38)
