The Church shared this fantastic feature video of Latter-day Saint soccer star Zavier Gozo.
Gozo details how he tries to attends the temple right before every game.
“When I’m close to God, I succeed.”
It’s incredible to see one of soccer’s brightest young players so proud to share his faith as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Listen to Zavier’s testimony:
There is nothing to really spin about Joseph Smith. He is one of the most studied humans in American history.
The real challenge is spinning what his teachings teachings built.
Outcomes like:
- At the top in spiritual peace and overall well-being (Pew)
- The highest rate of feeling loved by their mother and father growing up (Harvard)
- Highest worship attendance of any major U.S. religious group (Pew)
- The most prosocial people in America, volunteering at many times the national rate (University of Pennsylvania)
- Most likely to be married, the lowest divorce rates, highest fertility of any major faith group (Pew)
- The most likely to pray and read scripture with their children, around 80 percent (Pew)
- One of the lowest rates of depression (Harvard)
- The highest for being “highly happy” and for drawing comfort from their faith (Harvard)
- Teens report stronger relationships with their parents than peers in any other tradition (Kenda Creasy Dean, Princeton)
- Highest in Bible knowledge of any major U.S. Christian group (Pew)

Congrats to Blake Lively and @VancityReynolds —
You destroyed your brand and your reputation for absolutely no reason and sabotaged your own film despite its commercial success.
All you got was some lame MeToo cred that nobody even cares about anymore these days. And you made Justin —a commercially marginal C-list actor—into a household name.
Just to be abundantly clear, because there was some confusion in my post about this, Blake Lively LOST. By every measure she lost. She got nothing in the way of damages, no court ever said her words were true. Her words were made public and everyone sees her for the horrible, manipulative, lying witch that she is. Justin Baldoni WON.
Blake got attorney fees for one tiny part of this action, the defamation case, not for the entire case, and it was on a technicality, using a law to protect victims. Blake Lively is no victim, she’s a predator.
I had chills watching this.

HANDS OVER THEIR HEARTS, SINGING THE ANTHEM!
Black, white, didn’t matter.
AMERICANS WHO LOVE THEIR COUNTRY!
USA!!!
@realDailyWire Here’s the man who has derided my faith: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He’s not acting like a Christian, and the Daily Wire are hypocrites for criticizing Disney for losing their core audience by going woke, yet they are alienating theirs with Fradd’s content.
real vs fake - authentic vs inauthentic - empaths vs narcissists - truth vs lies - love vs hate - good vs evil - light vs dark - genuine vs counterfeit - angels vs demons
YAY!!! Justin Baldoni and his gorgeous wife Emily Baldoni have been spotted looking so happy and gorgeous!!! 😍
Loved watching them! All smiles! YOU WON JUSTIN! Now we need a documentary with your side 💕
Will Blake Lively be suing the skirt fluffers too? 🤭
Blake in 3 business days:
“These staff members created an unsafe environment by aggressively interacting with my skirt area.” 😌💀
Justin Baldoni's attorney Bryan Freedman calls out Blake Lively, "If she’s doing this for survivors of sexual assault and sexual harassment and retaliation as she says, then why don’t you take the stand at trial and prove it to the world? A trial would have exposed her lies and the entire smear she was talking about in her interviews that she did."
I am following with interest the developments in the settlement between Blake Lively and the Wayfarer parties, not only because it is a genuine human interest story, but also because there is resonance between the way I was set up by equally vicious predators in 1974 to con the world into believing that I was something I wasn't after they tried and failed to exploit me financially.
The scenarios greedy people concoct when they are desperate to fulfill their worldly objectives, at the expense of their spiritual duty to themselves and others, are truly unbelievable. There are few things worse than finding oneself the centre of their schemes.
Bryan Freedman has said that Justin Baldoni wants to tell his side of the story, and that he will do so in the fulness of time.
There is little doubt in my mind that he will have many an opportunity to do so, and that Blake Lively will find herself the Defendant in many a defamation suit if she tries to perpetuate the lies she concocted to justify the theft of his movie.
She is a very brazen operator. The idea of an abusive hussy of her order using her children, which she did at the Met Gala, when she sweet-as-pie declared to the only reporter whose head she hasn't bitten off meangirl style, that she is shy (yes Blake, shy like Meghan and Amber) would be funny if it were not so offensive.
When are these vulturous women going to realise that no one but an imbecile or ignoramus believes that being a Mom (as her ilk always crassly put it) means that she's a sweet, vulnerable and kindhearted person, who isn't capable of committing any offence, much less an atrocity such as accusing an innocent man of sexual harassment. Sure, she didn't stoop to the depths that Magda Goebbels did, but she has treated all dispassionate onlookers to a display of atrocious behaviour that renders her unacceptable for acceptance as a decent human being unless she comes clean, admits her errorr, apologises for the cruel and inhumane way in which she set about setting up Justin Baldoni, and thereafter tried to bully everyone who crossed her path into going along with her truly reprehensible narrative.
Blake Lively why did you want the dallies deleted ? You don't deserve credits . You tried to steal a man's film bc you have no creativity at all. I know you & hubby think you do . Quit abusing people & the court system. Take accountability, take a break & reinvent yourself.
@MsSarahPaulson@hulu You’re worth millions of dollars, and yet you show up at the Met Gala with a message against the 1%!? How hypocritical and delusional can you be? Instead of attending that frivolous event, how about you donate the price of your ticket and dress to the truly less fortunate?
Blake Lively is an example of what can happen when someone becomes overly entitled and believes they are smarter and better than others who work just as hard, if not harder. She sued a man who gave her a role in a movie that had strong financial potential, both as an investment and as an opportunity for a role in a good movie.
For many, that would have been enough: money and a good role. But it seems that wasn’t the case here, she wanted more, possibly because she had always gotten what she wanted throughout her life. She accused Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment, as well as running a campaign to damage her reputation. Baldoni denied the allegations and countersued for defamation and extortion, turning the case into a complex legal battle.
Over time, the court dismissed several major claims on both sides, particularly Lively’s. Just weeks before proceedings were set to begin, both parties agreed to settle. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that Blake settled because she knew she would lose sooner or later and Justin settled because he was bleeding money and he is not as rich as Blake. So it made sense for both of them.
The terms of the settlement have not been disclosed. In a joint statement, Lively and Baldoni expressed pride in the film and its message about domestic violence, while emphasizing their desire to move forward professionally.
