Some of us want faith to be at the center of our lives, but it does not get our attention; it is a small portion of our efforts.

I invite you to consider these three significant principles to follow as you strengthen your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ while facing life’s challenges.

[Dallin H. Oaks @OaksDallinH]

The commandments of God provide the guiding and steadying force in our lives.

As we honor covenants by keeping God’s commandments, His promised blessings enable us to soar to celestial heights.

[Gerrit W. Gong @GerritWGong]

In His infinite wisdom and compassion, the Lord answers across the needs, hopes, and circumstances of our lives in His time and way.

This is the Lord’s promise: As we seek with genuine intent to listen and hearken, He can whisper by His Spirit to our heart and mind.

We are His children. In infinite and eternal wisdom and compassion, God our Eternal Father and His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, love and listen and hear and answer us—always.

Eternal marriage is not a short-term experiment. It is an eternal journey of becoming who God desires us to become.

We believe in eternal marriage, we teach of eternal marriage, and we seek an eternal marriage.

[Neil L. Andersen @AndersenNeilL]

Earlier this year, President Dallin H. Oaks repeated the warning issued by President Russell M. Nelson from general conference in April 2018:

“In coming days, it will not be possible to survive spiritually without the guiding, directing, comforting, and constant influence of the Holy Ghost.”

What do you do to rivet your attention, to assure that you survive spiritually by having the constant influence of the Holy Ghost?

You look carefully at your daily activities. Am I praying? Am I thoughtfully partaking of the sacrament? What am I putting into my mind? Am I associating with others who seek the constant influence of the Holy Ghost? What could be my distractions, my obstacles, or my deceptions?

I invite you to pray for inspiration and courage to make any changes you need to make.

Thousands of visitors travel to Nauvoo, Illinois, every year to learn about the pioneer history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The community, founded by the Prophet Joseph Smith and once the headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ, features 1840s-era buildings, wagon rides and theatrical performances and reenactments. Nauvoo is also home to the reconstructed Nauvoo Illinois Temple. Travelers can also experience the new Nauvoo Temple Visitors’ Center, which was dedicated in June by Elder Gerrit W. Gong (@GerritWGong) of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.

Take a virtual tour of the Church’s historic sites in Nauvoo in this photo essay.

The conversion story of my mother-in-law reminds me of how grateful we should be for the restored truths that are unique to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

“Joseph Smith, the Prophet and Seer of the Lord, has done more, save Jesus only, for the salvation of men in this world, than any other man that ever lived in it” (Doctrine and Covenants 135:3).

By studying for ourselves and praying to God with real intent, we can gain a spiritual witness that the Book of Mormon is true.

[Neil L. Andersen @AndersenNeilL]

I feel increasingly drawn to the Savior’s love and the never-ending blessings promised us through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.

When I think of the suffering I have personally seen as I have traveled throughout much of the world in my calling as an Apostle—which is so infinitesimally small compared with all those who have or will ever walk the earth—I cannot, with any words I know, describe the feelings in my heart for what must have occurred in the heart and mind and body and soul of the Savior in His sacred moments of all-encompassing suffering for the sins and pain of all humanity.

He did not shield us from the difficult experiences of life that bring immeasurable pain, but He protected us from everlasting suffering and estrangement from Heavenly Father and allowed us, through His all-encompassing suffering, to have the blessing of perfect joy and eternal happiness in the presence of God.

The human mind can scarcely begin to comprehend how completely the destiny of mankind changed because of what happened in Gethsemane, on the cross, and at the tomb.

What a remarkable and inspiring weekend we had at the Seminar for New Mission Leaders. We were blessed to hear from President Dallin H. Oaks, who shared that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will soon have more missionaries serving than ever before.

Missionary service is especially dear to me. From my own mission as a young man, to serving with Melanie as mission leaders of the New York New York North Mission, to my current service on the Church’s Missionary Executive Council, I have witnessed the miracles of this work. I love missionaries and I love this calling.

I hope that you will see and feel the majesty of this moment that is happening right before our very eyes.

To the 87,000 missionaries currently serving and those preparing to serve: you are serving in one of the most remarkable times in the history of God’s work. You have the privilege of representing the Lord Jesus Christ during a season of growth that fills us with wonder and awe. Count yourself blessed—called for such a time as this.

I feel that we are only scratching the surface of what the Lord has in store for us as He prepares the world for His second coming.

As we go forth from to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to all the world, I firmly believe that the best is yet to come.

The Sacred Role of Fathers:

“Of all the titles of respect and honor and admiration that are given to Deity, He has asked us to address Him as Father” ("Father, Consider Your Ways," Ensign, June 2002). Our Father in Heaven models this parental role for all of us.

In Elder David A. Bednar’s thought about my calling to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, he captured my feelings about being a husband and a father. One of my favorite parts of the article was this quote from my daughter: “It’s cool to think of my father as an Apostle, but he’s still just my dad.” I’m also grateful for my own father’s comments and his efforts to be an example of righteous parenting.

I join with all of the striving fathers doing their best, knowing we all need heaven’s help in this sacred and demanding parental responsibility.

Happy Father’s Day

On this Father’s Day, I express gratitude for fathers everywhere who strive to nurture their families in love, faith, and righteousness. I consider being a father and a grandfather one of my life’s greatest blessings.

The most powerful teaching happens not only through words but through the way we live our lives. As we align our will with the Lord and seek to do those things that please Him, our homes can become places of faith, love, and spiritual strength.

Fathers who lead with humility, devotion, and a desire to follow the Savior help their families draw closer to Him. Their quiet example can inspire faith and shape lives in ways that last for generations.

To all fathers and father figures—thank you for your patience, your sacrifices, and your devotion. Your influence matters more than you know.

Religious freedom is the cornerstone of peace in a world with many competing philosophies.

We were privileged to represent The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at the Canterbury Medal Gala hosted by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania—a fitting venue for celebrating religious liberty. I was honored to offer the invocation at this event.

Moral agency, the ability to choose right from wrong and to act for ourselves, is essential to God’s plan of salvation. Religious freedom ensures that people can exercise their agency in matters of faith.

We are grateful to be associated with so many wonderful people of faith who we stand with to advocate for religious freedom.

[Quentin L. Cook @CookQuentinL]

As you study the Savior’s life, the restoration of the priesthood, and the return of the sealing keys by Elijah that unite our families for eternity, you can know with certainty that the Savior fulfilled the Father’s plan.

In the gospel workshop I hosted about hearing God’s voice in an age of artificial intelligence, I invited viewers to take specific actions to deepen their relationships with God, self, others, and the natural world and environment around us.

In a world of accelerating technology and artificial intelligence, may we never lose the divine intelligence that matters most—the voice of God.

As contention infects the media, classroom, politics and workplaces, Relief Society General President Camille N. Johnson said, “Love your neighbor (including your adversaries), avoid contention and make peace” during the Religious Educators Conference on June 4, 2026, in Provo, Utah.

“Love changes the heart. Avoiding contention changes the tone. Peacemaking changes relationships and our communities,” the leader told thousands of religious educators of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who teach more than a million enrolled students worldwide. “And in that progressive pattern we become more like, and draw closer to, Jesus Christ.”

Men on a Mission: My recent assignment to the Europe North Area with Elder Quentin L. Cook left me with deep appreciation for both early and modern missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

One of the historical areas we visited was the River Ribble, where Elder Cook’s great-great-grandfather, Elder Heber C. Kimball, performed the first baptisms in England in 1837. He was one of nine apostles called to serve in that early British Isles mission. Eventually, over 50,000 converts from that era emigrated to the Salt Lake Valley and became the strength of a growing Church.

On our recent visit, we also met with missionaries in front of Royal Albert Hall in London. It was inspiring to be with such a large group of valiant missionaries in such an historic location. We later had opportunities to witness of Jesus Christ at Pembroke College, Oxford University.

Those early “men on a mission” paved the way for future elders and sisters to invite God’s children to come unto Christ. Today there are six missions in the British Isles, part of a missionary force of more than 84,000 missionaries worldwide. Walking in the footsteps of those pioneering Apostles reminded me of the call we share with them even today, to be a witness to the name of Christ in all the world.

[Ronald A. Rasband @RonaldARasband]

All who live or ever have lived who come unto Christ and live His gospel will feel joy beyond any earthly expression as we reunite, resurrected, with our Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ and with our parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, and ancestors.

[Gérald Caussé @Gerald_Causse]

As disciples of Jesus Christ, we bear witness of Him whenever we share His love with all around us—and help it take root in each person we meet.
