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.

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?

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.
