Ever been convinced someone else was the problem—only to realize it was actually you? Hank shares a funny (and humbling) sacrament meeting mishap that illustrates an important lesson about judgment, patience, and learning to laugh at ourselves.
Can you love someone without endorsing everything they do? Hank explores how to balance your personal beliefs and convictions with compassion, and why relationships matter more than winning an argument.
Kindness isn’t always easy—it takes courage to stand up, speak up, and reach out. Sometimes, it means defending someone, and sometimes, it means stepping outside your comfort zone. Rachel Rhien Tucker shares why being brave enough to be kind makes all the difference.
Some moments stick with you for a lifetime. Elder Robert C. Oaks tells the story of a father who chose patience when he could have chosen anger—and decades later, his son still remembered. Hank Smith dives into this powerful lesson and how we can all try to respond with just a little more patience.
Ever feel like it’s hard to fit in? Brooke Stone shares a powerful lesson she learned in high school—popularity and kindness are NOT the same thing. A study showed that the most popular kids and the most liked kids were completely different people. When Brooke decided to “kill people with kindness”, she left high school with more friends than she could count. So forget about being “cool”—focus on being kind. It’s the real key to building friendships that actually matter.
If you want to improve your marriage, start with the person in the mirror! Hank explores the Savior’s parable of the beam and the mote, shares Joseph Smith surprising advice on criticism, and discusses why “soft answers” can heal even the hardest of hearts.
Criticism won’t build a better marriage, but time together will. Hank explores how to gently inspire change in your spouse, why dating your partner matters, and how even small moments of connection can heal and strengthen your relationship.
What really drives Christ’s love for us? In 3 Nephi 17:6, we get a glimpse into His heart—compassion. When He saw the Nephites longing for Him to stay, He didn’t rush away. He stayed. He healed. He wept with them. His example teaches us that true ministering starts with feeling with people, not just doing things for them. Today, let’s slow down and ask: How can you minister to someone today, with compassion like the Savior?
What if you stopped taking other people’s moods personally? Christy Davis shares a simple but profound truth: every action someone takes tells you something about them, not about you. In this quick but powerful story, she almost let her husband’s frustration ruin a moment of connection. But by choosing to ask instead of assuming, she learned something deeper—and strengthened their bond. Want better relationships? This one shift will change the way you interact with everyone around you.
