“They killed him on a ruck march?” I heard myself say, almost as if I weren’t the one speaking.
“Many of our young people are more familiar with Google than with the gospel, more attuned to the Internet than to inspiration and more involved with Facebook than with faith,” Elder Ballard said during a devotional. He talked of how youth will increasingly come face to face with challenging topics within the gospel, and that, as leaders, teachers, and parents, we must not be afraid to openly discuss such topics and encourage youth to ask questions and search them out using reliable media.
It can be tempting to become casual with our efforts to live the gospel and develop Christlike attributes.
"As our children learn to understand gospel doctrines, they become more self-reliant and more responsible. They become part of the solution to our family challenges and more resilient to worldly temptations. Those simple truths embedded in their hearts will allow them to see clearly who they are and will fan the fire of their faith."
As a faith, it has alternately fascinated and worried Americans since it first arose in a New York time more than a century earlier. It’s been denounced as a cult even as it is embraced by millions.

What a beautiful reminder that we won't always be in the same place spiritually for every general conference, and when we run into difficulties, we should be patient with ourselves and find ways to receive inspiration without becoming overwhelmed. As Koby Dudley reminds us,"It is important to recognize that the purpose of conference is to guide and edify us. This can be done in a myriad of ways. Heavenly Father loves us and knows us individually. So we aren’t expected to all learn and love in the same way."
Remember when Gladys Knight, the lead singer of rhythm and blues band The Pips, added LDS inspirational hymns to her already large repertoire of music genres? I think I am not alone in saying that, at the time, I wondered how Knight fans would feel when their favorite R&B singer began to work with contemporary Christian material. Was it possible the same singer that won a Grammy for “Midnight Train to Georgia” in 1974 could be the same singer that crooned “I Am a Child of God” in 2005? Obviously, my doubts were not only proven groundless, they were also completely obliterated—Knight has gone on to have great success with her latest musical genre, and she is a favorite performer with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
