We’ve all heard stories of people who stood for Christ through their whole lives. People like prophets, martyrs, pioneers, even family members, all who willingly made sacrifices, struggled through seemingly impossible circumstances, and changed their lives to follow Christ. What is it about these people that helped them to continue forward, even facing death and […]

7 Tips for Studying Christ in Your Scriptures
I think we all have our favorite ways of studying the scriptures. But sometimes, after I’ve been studying the scriptures one way for a while, I want to try something new. I’ve been thinking of new ways to approach scripture study lately, and I’ve come up with some ideas. I’ve centered these ideas around studying […]
Christ’s Sacrifice and Ours
I don’t know about you, but I am really good at thinking about all the ways I need to change to be a better person. All the things I am bad at, or mess up, or quit. These things pile up in my head, and it can be pretty hard to get rid of them. […]
8 Ways to Show Your Love for Christ
Earlier this week, I came across an invitation to think of ways I could show more love for Christ. My first thoughts were, of course, to pray, read my scriptures, go to church, take the Sacrament, and go to the temple. You know, the things we talk about a lot in church. But after those […]
Christ’s Cleansing Power
Earlier today, I put my hands on the back of my desk chair and, to my surprise (and disgust), found that it was covered in dust. I use my desk chair pretty often, but I had never noticed it getting dusty because the back is almost always covered with a cardigan that I keep on […]

This past week I went to see the Light of the World Garden at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi, Utah. It’s a series of 15 sculptures that depict scenes from the life of Jesus Christ. As I went through the garden, I couldn’t help feeling like I was stepping into the scriptures and joining the crowds […]
Repentance and Hidden Frogs
Did that title freak you out a bit? Don’t worry, it’ll make sense in a few minutes. Lately, while reading my scriptures, I’ve noticed how often repentance is discussed. The New Testament has various invitations to repent, and the Book of Mormon is absolutely loaded with these invitations. Which probably means that repentance is pretty […]
3 Things to Remember When You Feel Like Giving Up
Mary knelt beside the empty garden tomb, tears streaming down her face with renewed grief and sorrow, when she heard Him ask, “Woman, why weepest thou?” Thinking the gardener had approached her, Mary turned to Him, asking Him to lead her to His body. If it was missing, she would recover it. His enemies had […]
3 Book of Mormon Testimonies of Jesus Christ
The Book of Mormon bears testimony of Christ and pairs with the Bible to make a strong witness of our Savior. The prophets of the Book of Mormon all have unique testimonies and we have so much to learn from them. They all testified of Christ, but their unique relationship to Him shows in their […]
