Compassion is a call to action. It helps us reach beyond comfort zones, friend circles, and ward boundaries to serve and love like Jesus would. As we’ve been studying peacemaking, one important part of that pursuit is that peacemaking takes work. It requires action on our part.
In October 2019 general conference, President Russell M. Nelson invited Latter-day Saint women to study section 25 of the Doctrine and Covenants and “discover what the Holy Ghost will teach you” about how to access God's priesthood power. For those who accepted that invitation, President Nelson gave the following promise:
A group of just more than 200 women and their male supporters entered through the gates of Temple Square Saturday seeking admission to the male gathering of priesthood holders at LDS general conference, despite requests from church officials that they not do so.

If you’ve been a fan of this creative, fun franchise for years, you’re probably excited to see another one, especially after waiting seven years since the last installment. The film is getting mixed reviews, but this fourth installment in the intergalactic series that is Men in Black is full of new and delightful creatures, cool gadgets, plenty of action, and some respectful nods to the past movies that fans will enjoy. It’s the only movie in the franchise to not be directed by Barry Sonnenfeld. Instead, F. Gary Gray takes the director’s chair on this one.
For years Gerald Lund has captured audiences with his brilliant talent for mixing history and fiction in a way that is both enjoyable and engaging. He has covered a wide variety of events, including the beginning of the Church in The Work and the Glory, the pioneer trek west in Fire of the Covenant and Undaunted, and the life of the Savior and His apostles in The Kingdom and the Crown.
It's the big day you've been waiting for. You and your spouse sit proudly in the church pew. Grandparents and family have traveled miles to attend. A member of the bishopric makes a few announcements and then asks your just-turned 12-year-old son to stand.
The first priesthood blessing I gave terrified me. How does one, exactly, pull inspiration out of the air and give a blessing? No one ever described this to me; they just said it’ll happen. But I had no idea of how the words would come to me.
As most of you know, I am father to four sons. This year, the youngest FOMLs celebrated his 12th birthday. For those of you not familiar with the LDS priesthood, young men may be ordained to a preparatory (Aaronic) priesthood at the age of twelve. This is an important beginning of what should become a lifetime of church service.
I recently had the opportunity to read Sheri Dew’s book, Women and the Priesthood: What One Mormon Woman Believes. I should note that I don’t usually share book reviews on this site; we have made a deliberate decision to make this a non-commercial space. But I am making an exception for this book because I believe the doctrine of the priesthood and the doctrines that surround it are so priceless and important. I have long had a deep passion for the power of womanhood in God’s plan (hence the creation of this site!). It is my hope that sharing about her book can help someone want to do more to study and ponder “life-changing, mind-expanding eternal principles” (p. 10) that relate to and bump up against the questions that many people have about why Mormon women aren’t ordained to the priesthood.
