Ever feel too small, too weak, or too young to make a difference? So did the stripling warriors. But their faith and exact obedience invited God’s power in miraculous ways. Author and speaker Meg Johnson shares that YOU can do the same!
Have you ever watched a big race? The driver stands on the podium, but behind them is an entire team—the pit crew—who made the victory possible. That’s what it means to be part of Christ’s church. We’re not in competition—we’re here to lift, support, and encourage one another. Be a member of someone’s pit crew—cheer them on, help them refuel, and remind them that they’re not alone in the race.
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?
Who you surround yourself with matters—more than you think. Mary Alice Hatch reminds you that the five closest people in their lives will shape their thoughts, their actions, and even their future. If you’re feeling unsupported, unmotivated, or just stuck, maybe it’s time to take a step back and ask: Are my friends helping me become who I want to be? You are a child of God, and you deserve to be surrounded by people who uplift and inspire you. Don’t be afraid to make a change—it could change everything.
