Britain Covey: Getting Back up After Tragedy and in the Face of Adversity

On New Year's Day, Britain Covey will play the biggest football game of his life thus far. He and his University of Utah teammates will play in the Rose Bowl against Ohio State, in what, win or lose, will be an incredible finish to a remarkable season. But at the end of September, he and his teammates were just a group of young men heartbroken over the loss of two of their best friends in just over 10 months. They have responded in a remarkable way and on this week’s episode, Covey discusses the faith that has carried all of them through.

Christmas: Jesus Christ

According to the Title Page of the Book of Mormon, the book’s purpose is to convince all people that “Jesus is the Christ.” During this Christmas season, as believers worldwide celebrate God’s goodness and love in sending His Son, we decided to ponder how the Book of Mormon has strengthened our faith in Christ. We asked our study group guests to think about His birth, reflecting on why He came and how His coming has changed their lives. As you listen to this week’s episode, we hope you experience the true joy of Christmas—our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Euan Maxton

My name is Euan Maxton I’m 19 and I live in Dundee, Scotland. Being a member of our church is a big part of my life as it helps me to connect with Heavenly Father and others who share a testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I enjoy staying active. I like running which helps me to be more competitive when playing (real) football which I play often. I especially enjoy coming together as a stake and competing against each other. Currently I am working at Asda which is our equivalent to Walmart in Scotland. However, this year my hope is to move forward to University here in Scotland or if the opportunity arises to go and serve a full time mission. I enjoy serving with the missionaries in our ward. I am staying hopeful that as I continue to be faithful I will be prepared to go and serve the Lord.

CHAPTERS: What is Truth? by Aaron Franklin

We have been given the gift of curiosity and discovery, and something all of us as Latter-day Saints share is the desire to know truth. It started with Joseph Smith asking that very question, and perhaps we've all had our sacred grove moments. If you've found yourself asking, “what is truth? How do we cut through the noise of the world and the many “untruths” that are out there and find the true peace and rest that comes from placing Christ at the center of all our seeking?" You're not alone.
