A Lesson About Change

We often think of Esau as the bad guy in the story of Jacob and Esau. But what if we’ve misunderstood him? Lori Denning shares a powerful insight—Esau starts off angry, frustrated, and maybe even outside the covenant, but his story doesn’t end there. By the time he reunites with Jacob, he has changed. He welcomes his brother with open arms, showing that growth, forgiveness, and transformation are always possible. Maybe Esau’s story isn’t just about him—maybe it’s about all of us.

God’s Not Waiting For You to Be Perfect

No matter where you are today, His love and guidance are still yours.

The Semicolon That Could Save Your Life

Have you ever heard of the semicolon symbol? It represents choosing to keep going when life gets unbearably hard. Brian Lindow shares why this punctuation mark has taken on deep meaning—it’s a reminder that your story isn’t over yet. In Moses 6:34, Christ says, Walk with me. That’s His promise to stand beside you, even when your story feels broken. If you’re struggling, hold on. Trust Him. The chapters ahead are worth reading.

Some days, it’s hard to feel the Savior’s presence. Fear, doubt, and stress can make us feel distant from Him.

Repentance is the door that lets Christ’s healing power into our lives. If you’re struggling today, take a moment to turn toward Him. His light is always there, waiting for you to let Him in.

Are You Wearing Your Armor?

Imagine facing an army of 200,000 warriors armed with stones, while you’re protected by iron armor. That’s exactly what happened in 1536, when Spanish soldiers in Cusco survived because they were properly equipped. Quinn Calder shares how this story mirrors our spiritual battles—when we wear the whole armor of God, we are protected from the attacks of the adversary. But those who fail to wear their spiritual helmet? They can be taken down in an instant. Don’t leave yourself exposed—put on your armor, every day.

What I Wish I Knew About Ministering

Have you ever looked back and realized you missed the most important part? When Justin Anderson was a young Elder’s Quorum President, his main goal was to get people to come to church. But now, years later, he sees it differently. The greatest thing he could have done wasn’t just inviting them to sit in a pew—it was making sure they knew they were loved. That they weren’t alone. That no matter where they were in life, they had a friend. What if that was our focus in ministering? How different would our relationships be?

Zoom Out From the Struggle

Struggles feel so big in the moment, but what if they’re just one small chapter in a much bigger story? Becky Hennessy shares a life-changing scripture from 2 Corinthians 4: The things we see are temporary, but the things we don’t see are eternal. If something feels overwhelming today, step back and ask: How will this look in a year? In five years? God sees the whole picture—even when we can’t. Trust that He’s working on something greater than you can see right now.

Are you Forgetting to Be Grateful?

John Bytheway shares a life-changing realization from his mission in the Philippines—many of the things we complain about aren’t real problems, they’re privileges we’ve taken for granted. We say things like, “Ugh, my WiFi is slow” or “I have nothing to wear,” while others would be grateful just to have access to the things we dismiss. The next time you feel like complaining, ask yourself: Am I really struggling… or am I just forgetting to be grateful?
