Why we should avoid using metaphors when teaching youth about sexuality
By Laura M. Padilla-Walker, Dean M. Busby, Chelom E. Leavitt, & Jason S. Carroll
For several years now, we have collected hundreds of personal stories from young adults in the Church telling us how they were taught about sexuality.

In Memory of Kris Belcher: Your “One Holy Thing”
Just after midnight on Friday morning, Kris Belcher, a beloved Deseret Book author and Time Out for Women speaker passed away. Belcher lived her life inspiring others despite many health challenges, including cancer that led to her losing her sight. In the wake of Belcher’s passing, Emily Belle Freeman penned the following: “She is finally able to see . . . it was the text I received just after midnight. And just like that, she was gone . . . one of the noble and great ones. And I held her hand, and I thought of the wisdom she gave every one of us. And the love. Oh, she knew how to love . . . and there was peace. #intothelight.”
