What Church Members Can Expect from the 2019 Home Curriculum (+ How to Access It Online)

"The new home-centered, Church-supported integrated curriculum has the potential to unleash the power of families, as each family follows through conscientiously and carefully to transform their home into a sanctuary of faith. I promise that as you diligently work to remodel your home into a center of gospel learning, over time your Sabbath days will truly be a delight. Your children will be excited to learn and to live the Savior’s teachings, and the influence of the adversary in your life and in your home will decrease. Changes in your family will be dramatic and sustaining." —President Russell M. Nelson

3 Ways We Can Better Understand the Connection Women Have with Priesthood Power

How can we better understand the connection women have with priesthood power and help them “to step forward,” to “take [their] rightful and needful place in [their] home, in [their] community, and in the kingdom of God—more than [they] ever have before”?1 First, we can humbly seek to understand truths associated with the priesthood, especially the most recent teachings of Church leaders. Second, we can seek to understand why some women don’t fully realize their access to God’s priesthood power. Third, we can be aware of how we can help women more fully participate in the work God accomplishes through His priesthood power.

"It Was Glorious": Apostle Leads Catholic Delegation, Faith Leaders on Tour of Rome Temple

"My father was a Catholic," Elder Bednar said after many toured the Rome Italy Temple, including a Catholic delegation. "As a young man, he aspired to be a priest. And I have an aunt who's a nun, Sister Rosario, my Aunt Mary. So all my life I've been answering questions about, now what is it you do? And why do you do that? So today to take these really sincerely interested journalists through the temple and respond to their questions, questions of the soul, questions about living the gospel on a daily basis, we simply tried to explain to them that there is a pattern of progression that is symbolized in the temple: As we put off the natural man, we become new creatures in Christ."

The Latter-day Saint film that could: ‘Lamb of God’ cracks Top 10 on opening night

Lamb of God appearing in theaters might not have made a ton of sense in some respects. A pandemic has caused all kinds of problems for those who work in cinema. From health precautions required on set to decreased numbers of moviegoers, creating and releasing a film may be more complicated than ever. But to Rob Gardner, the composer behind Lamb of God, it actually made more sense this Easter season than ever before.
