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.
As disciples of Jesus Christ, we are all united in faith and in our commitment to living the gospel. But unity does not mean uniformity. Our church congregations are like a beautiful mosaic—rich with diverse backgrounds, talents, and experiences.
I invite each of you to find and recognize your gifts so that you can use them to bless others and move the Lord’s work forward.
Sheri Dew is one of my favorite people on earth—
She has never married, has never been a “mother”, and she has influenced my life in ways few people have.
Her talk “Are We Not All Mothers?” Is well known, but few know what led up to that talk.
“ While I was serving in the RS general presidency, we had the opportunity to attend sessions of General Authority training. There was one training session that affected me in a very personal way.
The topic for that session was strengthening families, and it was conducted by a General Authority who invited a great deal of audience participation.
Whenever someone responded to a question and used the word woman to describe a female’s role in the family, the conducting officer would tell that person to use the word mother instead.
The same was true with reference to men, whom he wanted referred to as fathers.
At first I didn’t think much of it, but as the morning wore on and the point was repeatedly made that women were mothers and men were fathers, I began to shrink in my chair.
I doubt anyone else even thought about it, but I was painfully aware of the fact that I was the only person in the room who was neither a mother nor a father.
By the time the meeting ended, I could not get out of that room fast enough.
I hurried back to my office, closed the door, and wept.
I had served as a ward and stake Relief Society president and as a member of the Relief Society general board.
I had never felt that I didn’t belong in the Church—until that morning. And, to make it worse, I felt excluded by prophets, seers, and revelators, which in that moment made me wonder how the Lord felt about me.
Unfortunately, I began to stew about the meeting.
At first, I was just hurt, but the hurt festered into anger.
I could not understand how “the Brethren” could disenfranchise so many members.
There was no one I could talk to about how I felt. I couldn’t quite picture telling my bishop that I was upset with a General Authority. So I just stewed.
This went on for months, until I began working on the address I was to give at the upcoming general Relief Society meeting.
I prayed, pondered, fasted, and went to the temple for weeks and—nothing. No inspiration. No ideas. Nothing.
As the days raced by, I began to panic. Finally, I had one clear impression that was also a reprimand: I needed to resolve my feelings about that General Authority.
I knew it was true, and in a spirit of humility I got on my knees and asked the Lord to forgive me for the resentment I’d been nurturing.
And then I asked the Lord the question I should have asked months before: Did I miss something in that meeting?
Two days later I had another clear impression—that I should speak in the general Relief Society meeting about, of all things, motherhood. “Seriously?” I thought.
But the impression was clear, so I went to work. I searched the scriptures and went to the temple again and again. In other words, I wrestled. I wrestled to understand the doctrine of motherhood, and I wrestled with my own feelings about that doctrine.
And guess what I learned? That General Authority had been right. That EVERY woman, regardless of her life circumstances, has been divinely endowed with the gift and the gifts of motherhood.
Eve was named the Mother of All Living before she ever bore a child on this earth.
Motherhood is the essence of who women are. It defines our identity, our divine stature, and the unique traits our Father gave us.
This led to an address titled “Are We Not All Mothers?”
For the first time in my life, I not only understood the doctrine of motherhood but experienced healing about not bearing children in this life.
I am not saying that the longing for a family went away, because it did not. But the deep pain I had tried to suppress for years was gone.
In response to my repentance and wrestling, the Savior HEALED that pain while teaching me the truth about the eternal nature of women.”

Listen to President Eyring explain the difference between the way Church leadership operates vs. the way Harvard and Stanford operate.
"We're in another kind of thing here. This is what it claims to be. This is the true Church of Jesus Christ. Revelation is real, even in what you call the business kinds of settings."
🚨 THEY HAVE BEEN LYING TO YOU ABOUT OIL FOR 150 YEARS. 🛢️
Oil is not rare. It is not made from dead dinosaurs. It is the second most common liquid on Earth after water and it is literally the planet’s lifeblood.
The entire “fossil fuel” scam was invented by the Rockefellers and the Smithsonian in the late 1800s to create artificial scarcity and jack up prices to insane levels. They fed you the biotic lie so you would believe oil is some finite dinosaur soup that is about to run dry. Total fabrication.
Oil is abiotic. It is a liquid mineral cooked deep in the Earth’s mantle under crushing pressure and scorching heat. It is the natural lubricant for tectonic plates and the grease that keeps the planet’s massive gears turning smoothly.
That is why wells drilled dry in the 1970s are filling back up again today. The Earth is pumping fresh oil from below and regenerating it nonstop. It does not run out. We are sucking the lubricant out of the planet’s engine and now the whole machine is starting to shake.
More earthquakes. Creaking faults. Grinding plates. Coincidence? No. We are stripping the oil that keeps the Earth’s crust sliding properly and the system is literally seizing up.
The so-called “fossil theory” is the greatest economic hack in human history. Real crude oil has almost zero biological markers. No nitrogen, no phosphorus, nothing that would survive if it came from dead organisms. It is pure polymeric hydrocarbons, primordial stuff from the Earth’s own formation.
Thomas Gold tried to warn the world. He proved hydrocarbons like methane and oil rise from the deep mantle, not from ancient swamps. The establishment destroyed his reputation because the truth would collapse their entire control grid.
If people knew oil is basically tap water for the planet, endlessly generated from below, the entire parasitic geopolitics of wars, sanctions, and price manipulation would evaporate overnight.
They do not want you to know the Earth makes its own oil.
They need you scared, dependent, and paying through the nose while they bleed the planet dry.
Wake up. The dinosaurs had nothing to do with it. This is the biggest lie they ever sold us and it is killing the engine of the world.
FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING.
As I mentioned during my general conference address Sunday morning, followers of Christ should follow Him by forgoing contention and by using the language and methods of peacemakers. In our families and other personal relationships, let us avoid what is harsh and hateful. Let us seek to be holy, like our Savior.
I testify that what happened on Easter Day really happened. Jesus Christ is resurrected. He lives.
I hope you will find the joy that I find as well in this special Easter season and celebrate the gift of the Son of God.
The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints released a video for Easter. Each member of the First Presidency shared a testimony of Jesus Christ and His love.
The First Presidency invited Church members to first, bring friends and family members to a one-hour Palm Sunday worship service and, second, watch the April 2026 general conference.
Ground was broken this weekend for the Huehuetenango Guatemala Temple. This will be Guatemala’s fifth house of the Lord. One more is in the planning stages. The dedicatory prayer on the site included the plea that the area become holy ground as neighbors and community members feel the influence of the Holy Ghost.
The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has invited all to participate in the upcoming April 2026 general conference.

Trump is running the most dangerous geopolitical blitz since Bretton Woods.
And the endgame isn't a trade war.
There's a theory circulating that Trump is running a far more ambitious play -- one designed to collapse BRICS, force China's hand, and lock in dollar dominance for decades.
It's bold. It's speculative. And whether you buy it or not, the underlying moves are worth paying attention to:
𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟭: 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘇𝘂𝗲𝗹𝗮
The U.S. moves on Venezuela's oil, lithium, gold, and rare-earth reserves. Not for regime change — for resource control. China has quietly relied on Venezuelan oil to sidestep sanctions for years. That lifeline gets cut first.
𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟮: 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗱𝗮
This one's less dramatic but arguably more important. Canada deepens its alignment with Washington — offering diplomatic support, intelligence sharing, and strategic basing access. It's not that Ottawa becomes a puppet. It's that North America starts operating as a single economic and security bloc in a way we haven't seen since WWII. That kind of continental unity sends a message that's hard to ignore.
𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟯: 𝗜𝗿𝗮𝗻
With Venezuela compromised, China pivots to Iran for oil. Predictable. That's when the U.S. and Israel escalate — strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, command infrastructure, and oil facilities. China's backup energy source disappears.
𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟰: 𝗥𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗮
Here's where the theory gets really interesting -- and really controversial.
The argument is that a back-channel deal is already taking shape. Russia, increasingly squeezed and looking for off-ramps, begins redirecting energy exports toward Western markets. Out of self-interest, not friendship. In return, Moscow gets energy revenue guarantees and a pathway back to the global trading system. Canada, with its existing Arctic and energy ties, becomes the diplomatic bridge.
The result is a North American–Russian energy alignment that removes China's last major source of leverage.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝗱𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲
BRICS loses its economic foundation. Beijing, cut off from reliable energy and geopolitical allies, is forced to negotiate on American terms, including purchasing U.S. debt at favorable rates. The dollar gets a controlled reset with gold as the backstop, and the global financial system re-centers around Washington.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 + 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿
Energy price spikes and defense spending flood capital into risk assets. Bitcoin pushes past $200K. Then comes the executive orders: a Strategic U.S. Bitcoin Reserve, funded by seized assets and energy windfalls.
But the piece most people are sleeping on is stablecoins. Every USD-pegged stablecoin moving across borders reinforces American financial infrastructure without a single new bank branch. The GENIUS Act laid the regulatory rails. A geopolitical shakeup of this scale would create a demand shock.
Stablecoins don't just survive a reset like this. They become the rails it runs on.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗦𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲:
Resource control → energy dominance → geopolitical isolation of China → dollar reset + Bitcoin reserve + stablecoin expansion.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗦𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲:
Precision chaos → total energy dominance → China's surrender on U.S. terms → dollar reset + strategic Bitcoin reserve + stablecoin expansion.
American financial supremacy 2.0.
Whether you believe it or not, the pieces are already moving.
