Tonight my family and I watched Swiss Family Robinson. Absolute classic. One scene in particular struck me. Right after the Robinsons land on shore from their shipwreck, the mother suggests the family kneel in prayer before building a shelter. Bring faith back into film.

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland delivered the best explanation of how The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints deviates from traditional Christianity and returns to the doctrine taught by Jesus Christ himself. “If one says we are not Christians because we do not hold a fourth- or fifth-century view of the Godhead, then what of those first Christian Saints, many of whom were eyewitnesses of the living Christ, who did not hold such a view either?” This is a must-watch today:

Many people still refer to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as Mormons. In 2018, President Russell M. Nelson gave a talk encouraging the membership of the church and the general public to address the church by its full and proper name. “Joseph Smith did not name the Church restored through him; neither did Mormon. It was the Savior Himself who said, ‘For thus shall my church be called in the last days, even The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.’” This name isn’t new. We have been the Church of Jesus Christ since the Church was first established and restored. Listen to President Nelson’s explanation and teachings on the name of the Church 👇

Two decades ago, President Gordon B. Hinckley warned about the negative effects of gambling. He said, "Please, please do not fritter away your time or your talents in an aimless pursuit. If you do so, it will lessen your capacity to do worthwhile things." Today gambling is force fed to young men more than ever before— particularly sports betting. This is a dangerous and slippery slope. President Hinckley's counsel is wise. Listen to his warnings:

Cleanse your timeline with the inspired wisdom of a 96-year old President Hinckley. “In the on-working of this great cause, increased faith is what we most need. Without it, the work would stagnate. With it, no one can stop its progress.” This man was truly a prophet of God.

Elder Holland’s counsel to men of the Church from nearly 26 years ago is even more applicable now. The stakes have never been higher. The need for our Savior has never been greater. We can’t let anything stand in the way of tapping into the power and Atonement of Jesus Christ. “Brethren, if you are struggling with self-control in what you look at or listen to, in what you say or what you do, I ask you to pray to your Father in Heaven for help.”

If you asked me to name one talk that forever changed how I view myself and the world since— it would be this one. “Beware of Pride” by President Ezra Taft Benson (read by President Gordon B. Hinckley here) This talk is the gift that keeps on giving for me. It includes 108 unique scripture references to support its teachings. That’s right— 108. It is the playbook on how to fulfill one’s divine destiny. It called me unto repentance the first time I read it and comes to my mind every time I suspect pride is preventing me from being my best self. “Pride is the great stumbling block to Zion. I repeat: Pride is the great stumbling block to Zion.” Enjoy this talk that profoundly impacts me and millions.
