The worldwide devotional celebrating the anniversary of the Relief Society became a celebration of the power, influence, and blessings of women.

This eye-opening definition of discipleship shared by Elder Stevenson, President Freeman, and President Lund has helped alleviate the pressure for me to be perfect.

Here are five questions to take up President Freeman’s invitation and write a personal statement about what the gospel of Jesus Christ means to you.

“My girls want to whisper this five-finger promise to their children (my grandchildren) every morning—a reminder of a Father in Heaven who is divinely aware of each of His children,” President Freeman shared in her general conference talk footnotes.

By asking 'what is my place in God's plan?' young women can know how they are needed and that they are important.

“This parable makes a lot more sense when it’s about chickens,” I told Greg. “Now let’s put it back into the words of Jesus.”

It is the Lord who first enters this story. But He isn’t the one who finishes it.

For the month of April, the LDS Living Book Club will be reading “Grace to Become” by Emily Belle Freeman.

Why live a covenant life when most of the world tells you that believing in Christ is sufficient?

We recently asked Freeman about her family, her faith, and what makes her excited to study the Old Testament next year.

We asked our followers to tell us an unexpected place that they have found Christ. We loved reading through your answers—they are a powerful reminder that the Savior can be with us in all things.

Sometimes you meet people who have a greatness of heart. Learn from them. Listen to how they live their lives. If you spend enough time with them, your heart will become greater, too.

I sit on my pew, heart heavy and storm raging. In the prayer over the bread I am reminded that I have covenanted to take His name, and my soul is caught up in the wondering about this.

Everyone has a story, a need, a lack, a place of inadequacy. I know the details of mine, and you know the details of yours. And the Lord? He knows about every story, and every dark place, and every hope and heartache and happily ever after.

Emily Belle Freeman had asked her friend for time to think about how to respond to his text message: “Emily, you can’t be Mormon and gay,” he’d written.

Drowning.

For Holy Week, LDS Living has been preparing for Easter in two simple ways: 1) by focusing on the events leading up to Easter on our Instagram account @brightly.beams and 2) by releasing a video a day focusing on the perspective of those who witnessed the life and resurrection of our Savior. Here is our seventh and final video (watch the others here), featuring Emily Belle Freeman and David Butler of Don't Miss This as they testify of the significance of the empty tomb and that the Savior intervenes in our own lives, meeting us where we are at and helping us to become more.

Why do we celebrate the birth of Christ for an entire month but only celebrate His Resurrection for one day? Here are some tips on how to fill your Easter season with reminders of the Savior.
