Michelle Amos: Partnering with the Savior in "a Higher Calling”

Her passion for the work she has done in over 30 years at NASA is contagious. Her love for the gospel of Jesus Christ would make almost anyone want to sit and talk all day. Blend those two things together and what do you get? Today’s conversation with Sister Michelle Amos on why she believes science supports religion and true religion supports science. Here's what Sister Amos has learned during her career at NASA, and the insights she's gained while serving as a mission leader in the Louisiana Baton Rouge Mission.

Gorgeous Mashup of "Come Thou Fount" and "How Great Thou Art"

I love the added power of including American Sign Language in this video. Check out this great mashup performed by McKynlee and Maddie Wilson.

Michelle King: Involve your family in compiling your family history, on Mormon Times TV

We all probably have that list of things we know we should do but just don’t see how we can. Maybe we don’t even really want to tackle that list. Sometimes, though, we’re moved — even compelled — to go forward and make the time for important things that otherwise might sit on the back burner. That’s my story when it comes to compiling our family history.

Latter-day Saint Life

How the Church Grew From 3 to 6,000 in Jamaica

By Trent Toone

For several years, the membership of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Jamaica consisted of only three individuals: Victor E. Nugent, his wife, Verna, and their son, Peter.

21: “Beware Lest Thou Forget the Lord” (Deuteronomy 6–8; 15; 18; 29–30; 34)

If you had to decide who gave the greatest speech of all time, who would you choose? Maybe included on your list of candidates would be Martin Luther King Jr., Winston Churchill, Sojourner Truth, or Abraham Lincoln. But would you ever consider Moses? This week we’ll dive into Deuteronomy chapters 6–8, 15, 18, 29–30, and 34, and learn about Moses’s last moments with the children of Israel and how his final speech could be one of the greatest of all time.

20: “What Lack I Yet?” (Matthew 19–20; Mark 10; Luke 18)

What if you had the chance to ask Jesus anything? Not in the next life, or someday in the future, but today? What would your question be? Would His answer resolve a concern or confirm a truth—or both? Matthew 19–20, Mark 10, and Luke 18 contain stories of people who had the opportunity to ask Jesus questions. In this week's study, we'll examine those questions, and apply Jesus's answers, to our own lives.

Michelle King: Advice you would give your 21-year-old self, and mental illness challenges, on 'Mormon Times' TV

We take our cameras onto Temple Square to pose the question, “Given the chance, what life advice would you offer your 21-year-old self?” It’s a thought-provoking question, and several of you gave us some great answers you won’t want to miss.

Michelle King: Honoring angel babies, on 'Mormon Times TV'

When you prepare to give birth — and everything has gone well as the due date approaches — you hardly expect things to take a tragic turn. This happened to my sister and brother-in-law with the emergency birth of their first child. After his precarious start, the baby’s health was such that he soon had to be taken off the breathing tube keeping him alive. And, instead of bringing him home to sleep in his crib, he was laid to rest at the cemetery. Many tears were shed, and we continue to think of him often. This fall, he would have turned 22 years old.

You Belong Here! with Michelle Torsak

Did you know that the inspiration for Magnify came from a scripture in Luke chapter 1 verse 46? Living as joyful and wholehearted followers of Jesus isn’t easy. We need the influence of each other to help us muster our courage. And that’s what you’ll find in the Magnify community: encouragement, strength, and inspiration to live differently and to make a difference as a disciple of Jesus Christ.

Michelle King: Better preparation for missionaries, on 'Mormon Times TV' this Sunday

I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall at the Provo Missionary Training Center when President Thomas S. Monson of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints made his big announcement at the start of the LDS Church’s semiannual general conference this October. He announced a change in age requirements for missionary service — giving young men the option to leave at age 18, and young women the opportunity to go when they turn 19. Our youngest son was in the Provo MTC at the time and wrote us of the reaction there. He said that, right after President Monson announced the changes, there was a huge initial gasp from every missionary — then cheering. Definitely something out of the ordinary for a conference session.
