Christ-like Lessons I’ve Learned From Fathers
Father’s Day is always special to me because it inevitably reminds me of my Father in Heaven. Our fathers are asked to fulfill a holy capacity on earth by representing fatherhood to God’s children and showing them, to the best of their ability, who God is and what our relationships with Him should look like.
Staying Grounded in the Struggle
What do we do when we’re faced with situations that challenge us to do things we wouldn’t normally do? How do we hold our ground?

We need to understand and work toward establishing Zion in our own lives.
The Power of the Words of God
The words of Christ and His prophets are still the most powerful I’ve read. Their words are overwhelming in their truth and doctrine. Testimonies of God, of change, of healing, of progress, and of power fill the pages of scripture.
