Ben Hammond: Breathing Life Into Sculpture

When the Temple Square renovation is complete, four new sculptures by artist Ben Hammond will welcome visitors to the grounds. Hammond began his career apprenticing under a sculptor known for crafting busts for the NFL Hall of Fame. Since then, his meticulous talent has led to creating Hall of Fame busts himself and sculpting a statue of Martha Hughes Cannon for the U.S. Capitol. On this week’s episode, Ben shares how his life and career have been shaped—piece by piece—by the Master Sculptor.

1: “Another Testament of Jesus Christ” (Dec. 30–Jan. 5)

Did you know that the Book of Mormon doesn't begin with "I, Nephi?" In our first study group of 2020, Tammy and her friends Sharmaine and Tamu dig into the real beginning of the Book of Mormon — the introductory pages — and share how the entire purpose of the Book of Mormon can be found in just four simple words.

Why Halloween Is the Most Charitable Day of the Year (and Other Reasons I Can't Hate It)

I’ve tried. I have really tried. I have marshalled all my self-righteous bluster and vast knowledge, and I still can’t do it. I’m pretty orthodox, as orthodoxy goes, so it seems I should be able to – it kind of makes sense. My brain tells me I should be able to… but I just can’t bring myself to do it.

The piece foreshadows, I fear, of what is to come — effort to portray Mormons as weirdly out of step and unmodern, and by implication, Romney as being unfit for the presidency.

2012 LDS Primary Mother's Day Gift Idea

This is an activity for primary children to do with their "special lady". I've said it before, but I'll say it again. I don't think kids should ever feel bad on mother's day if they don't have a mother.

5 Harmful Myths Mormons Often Believe

Though we've been taught these principals in Sunday School and though our heads might know, sometimes our hearts and personal experiences blind us from truly believing. We get so caught up in the moment of our own personal struggles and anguish we sometimes don't have the energy to realize that these myths we've come to feel and believe are harmful and keep us from receiving the healing we need.
