Elder Renlund expounds on the doctrine taught in the Young Women theme in his talk “Your Divine Nature and Eternal Destiny.” Here are some questions to consider:

How do you step back from strong emotions, mental health, or the stresses of life and feel the love of God?

How does your identity as a child of god work with and validate other ways you choose to identify yourself?

What is your revealed path?

“President Russell M. Nelson taught: ‘Too many people consider repentance as punishment. … But this feeling of being penalized is engendered by Satan. He tries to block us from looking to Jesus Christ, who stands with open arms, hoping and willing to heal, forgive, cleanse, strengthen, purify, and sanctify us.’”

How were you taught about repentance? How does that differ from this definition?

Sister Bingham’s talk “Covenants with God Strengthen, Protect, and Prepare Us for Eternal Glory” is a powerful testimony of covenants. Here are some questions to study:

Do you know what your covenants are (baptismal or temple)? If yes, I invite you to study them. If no, I invite you to find out what they are or what they will be.

“Through your keeping of covenants, He will bless you with His priesthood power and enable you to have a profound influence on all with whom you interact.”

How has someone had a “profound influence” on you?

Her promise: “I testify that as we choose to make covenants with Heavenly Father and access the power of the Savior to keep them, we will be blessed with more happiness in this life than we can now imagine and a glorious eternal life to come.”

Sister Craven speaks beautifully about the power of the gospel in her talk “Do What Mattereth Most.” Here are some questions to consider while you’re studying:

“I invited my new friend to start doing the gospel of Jesus Christ: praying, studying, serving others, and trusting in the Lord.”

What are other ways to DO the gospel?

What “mattereth most” to you? How can you seek revelation on what “mattereth most”?

Consider her promise: “As we center our lives on Jesus Christ, we will be guided to do what mattereth most. And we will be blessed with spiritual strength, contentment, and with joy!”

Sister Porter’s talk “Lessons at the Well” is a beautiful testimony of the power of the atonement of Jesus Christ. Here are some questions to ponder as you study:

How does your knowledge of the enabling power of the atonement change your perspective of yourself? What power does this give you?

How have you felt the priesthood power (the power of God) through your covenants?

Sister Porter talks about salt, leaven, and light. How can you be “a pinch of salt, a spoonful of leaven, and a ray of light” in the lives of people around you?

Eder Cook’s talk “Conversion to the Will of God” talks powerfully of the effects of conversion and the opportunity we have to be Christ’s hands in this world. Here are some questions to ponder:

Elder Cook’s questions: “(1) Is Jesus Christ divine? (2) Is the Book of Mormon the word of God? and (3) Is Joseph Smith the Prophet of the Restoration?”

How can we be an instrument in the Lord’s hands - even imperfectly? How can you be His voice and hands?

Do you use the kingdoms of glory to judge others?

“For the Savior’s mandate to share the gospel to become part of who we are, we need to become converted to the will of God; we need to love our neighbors, share the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, and invite all to come and see.”

How can you be like Christ in these ways?

Again, we talk about the power of the atonement! Elder Hamilton testifies powerfully of our ability to change in his talk “‘Then Will I Make Weak Things Become Strong’”.

I didn’t actually ask any questions in this episode…oops. But I would invite you to act on the grace he talks about: humble yourself, grow your faith in Christ, and you will have the power to change - through the atonement of Jesus Christ.

And as always, what is the Lord telling you? What questions do you want to study further?

Elder Ochoa’s talk “Is The Plan Working?” is a beautiful ode to the atonement. Here is a question to think about as you study:

Elder Ochoa said: “Coming unto Christ means more than just thinking about Him or talking about Him or even loving Him. It means following Him. It means living the way He teaches us to live. And for all of us, that means repenting, without delay.”

What does this look like in your life? What does this look like in your church experience? And how can you encourage this in your life and in your wards and branches?

Elder Ochoa’s invitation and promise: “Come unto Him, follow Him, and ‘immediately shall the great plan of redemption be brought about unto you.’”

My first guest joined me today! Emily Castaneda is one of my favorite people, and we had such an amazing conversation about family history and our experiences with God’s hand in our lives.

My invitation is to read Elder Gong’s suggestions of all the ways to do family history (not just FamilySearch and indexing) and make a goal to connect with the people in your life in those ways. Hear their stories. Ask about cool spiritual experiences they’ve had. Connection is so so important.

And consider Elder Gong’s invitation: “Praise God’s plan of happiness, Jesus Christ’s Atonement, continuing restoration in His gospel and Church. Please come find your family, all your generations, and bring them home.”

Today’s episode is about Elder Aidukaitus’ talk “Lift Up Your Heart and Rejoice.” Again, we talk about missionary work! But also blessings and lots of stories! Here is the question I asked:

Are you judging others based on the blessings you perceive they are or are not receiving? And how can you change that perspective?
