Find JoyE10 - Men Are That They Might Have JoyWhat if the plain path to lasting joy is closer than we think? We open up 2 Nephi 2:25—“Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy”—and consider a fresh, practical reading: God’s greatest joy is His family, so our deepest joy grows as we build, nurture, and gather ours along the covenant path of Jesus Christ. Rather than chasing quick hits of happiness, we talk about the kind of joy that takes root through covenants, daily discipleship, and the steady witness of the Holy Ghost.Across this heartfelt reflection, we connect do...
2025-11-2103 minFind JoyE9 - A Desire to EndureWhen joy feels distant and the heart is tired, what does faith look like? We open up about seasons where effort is high and hope feels low, and how a priesthood blessing shifted the prayer for instant relief into a gift of endurance. That small but profound change reframed joy—not as a constant rush of good feelings, but as a steady presence that grows when we align with Jesus Christ and stay on the covenant path.We unpack the promise that God “gives liberally” from James 1 and ask the hard question: if He gives generously, why don’t...

Oaks was called as the new prophet, leaving a weekend without a single address from a sitting President of the Church.

Joy isn’t a finish line; it’s the fruit of livin...

We tell the truth about the quiet gap between being deeply blessed and barely able to feel it, and we walk through how mental health can mute the very feelings faith is meant to nurture. From anxiety and depression to the surprising relief of “barely doable,” this conversation leans into honesty, dignity, and the slow work of healing without pretending there are instant fixes.We ground the journey in the language of discipleship: holding fast to Jesus Christ, staying on the covenant path, an...
