To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
This year marks the 170th anniversary of the organization of the Relief Society. What are you doing to celebrate? March 17th is around the corner, so I’m sure you all have plans already for your celebration. But, just in case, I’ve got some ideas any group or individual can do. With last year’s emphasis on […]
We live in a busy world. We often complain, “I’m too busy,” or “I’m fighting fires here,” or “I’ll get to it when I have a minute to breathe.” But what does that really mean? There is no doubt that our calendars are full, but what are they really full of? The honest answer is […]
Do you have a testimony of Relief Society? That is the question you need to ask yourself this month. What makes Relief Society different from what the world offers women? I think our lesson this month asks us to examine how we feel, as women, about our place in the kingdom of God. Women have […]

The world would have you scoff at that notion. It would convince you that “men and women have been socialized to perform certain gender specific roles”. It […]
On January 17th, 2012 Sis. Beck gave the devotional address at Brigham Young University. Her topic was sort of a culmination of what her presidency has tried to teach us. You can find the talk at BYU Speeches. Sis. Beck has been very consistent as she urges us to strengthen our own faith in the Lord […]
As I have read through all the talks from October’s General Conference, I was struck by how many talks were about POWER.
