Often what we hear and see on social media can begin to skew our perception of the world—and that is entirely the case with Millennials.

48: He “Has Sealed His Mission and His Works with His Own Blood” (Doctrine and Covenants 135–136)

Few things could have been more discouraging for the early Saints than the martyrdom of the Prophet Joseph Smith. But although it was a somber time in Church history, the Saints showed remarkable perseverance and faith in the Lord.

Unnamed Women of the New Testament: Certain Women

Linda K. Burton, then Relief Society General President, shared the following quote from Daughters in My Kingdom during general conference: “The New Testament includes accounts of [certain] women, named and unnamed, who exercised faith in Jesus Christ [and in His Atonement], learned and lived His teachings, and testified of His ministry, miracles, and majesty.

By Larry J. Echo Hawk

The federal government took my father from his parents and sent him to a boarding school where he was physically beaten if he spoke the Pawnee language or practiced his native culture.

How God’s grace helped this scholar overcome his fear of children

By Samuel M. Brown

Not long after my mission, I found myself drawn back to my native alienation. It’s been a constant struggle for me to inhabit the world of people. I’ve had moments, even months, of warm clarity of vision. But then I have receded again into my natural state, bondage to some vision of my own power and priority.
