Joseph Smith History 1:1-26

This week we are studying Joseph Smith History verses one through twenty-six. This is one of the accounts of the First Vision as given by Joseph Smith. We’ll talk about several truths that can help us manage our mental health. The first is the knowledge and hope that God is aware of us and has a plan for our success. The second is that we must act in faith in order to overcome the difficulties we face. The third is a pattern of anxiety management that can be found in a close study of the events surrounding the First Vision.

Be ye therefore a perfectionist?

This week, we’re so grateful to share a conversation with Justin Dyer, a professor of religion at BYU and a researcher who has spent years exploring the intersection of faith and mental health. Justin’s most recent work focuses on perfectionism, especially within the church. He recently edited a special issue of BYU Studies Quarterly dedicated entirely to this subject, and you can find a link to it in our show notes.In this conversation, Justin shares some compelling research, including the striking finding that high levels of toxic perfectionism can triple the likelihood of leaving one’s religion. He offers some profound insights into why this is the case and he talks about gospel principles that could help us replace unhealthy perfectionistic beliefs.
