23: "All Flesh Is in Mine Hand" (Doctrine and Covenants 60–62)

You may not be a world-class beatboxer—or do public math—but chances are, you have a talent. In fact, all members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have a very specific talent. And as we study Doctrine and Covenants 60–62, we are going to find out what that talent is, why it was important to the early Saints, and how we can share it with others today.

Acey and Jalyn Shaw: In Sickness and In Health

We may not hear the words "in sickness and in health" in the temple, but Jalyn Shaw believes the meaning is still there as Latter-day Saints commit to love and serve each other through all eternity. In 2011, Jalyn and her husband, Acey, experienced firsthand what "in sickness and in health" really means when Acey contracted a rare virus. The virus left Acey without the use of his legs, as well as limited use of his arms and his voice. On this week's episode, the couple shares what their experience has taught them about love, service, and eternity.

Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson Lesson 23: "Strengthen Thy Stakes"

By Kelly Merrill

As you read this lesson think about the quote by Alexandre Dumas from The Three Musketeers, “All for one and one for all, united we stand divided we fall.” This is the essence of what a Stake is all about. As Satan grows in power, and as the Lord prepares to punish the wicked “without measure,” the only place of safety for the Saints is in the stakes of Zion.

What a Visit to the Venezuelan Border Taught Church Leaders

As civil unrest continues in Venezuela, thousands of refugees are packing up all their belongings and supplies with them across the border of Colombia in search of medicine, food, and safety. Some of these individuals are in search of a new home and others search for supplies to carry back to their families in Venezuela. To greet them at the border were volunteers with food boxes in hand. Witnessing this event, Sister Aburto of the Relief Society general presidency said she was reminded of the scripture in Mathew 25:25, which says, “For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in.”

71: The Gift of Curiosity

In this episode, we explore one of the ways that we can become better storytellers and better listeners through cultivating our holy curiosity. In honor of Black History Month, we revisit the faithful story of Isaac Thomas, a black Latter-day Saint who converted to the gospel in the 1970's despite the fact that he would be unable to hold the priesthood or participate fully in the restored gospel he loved. We'll also hear from Tamu Smith and Zandra Vranes, (aka the Sistas in Zion) who give us their tips for better ways to interact with one another across cultural divides.
