Sheri Dew: Being Known as Women of God
Magnify
In October 1999, Sheri Dew gave a landmark talk entitled "We are Women of God." The words she spoke then still ring true today: “It is by letting the world go and coming unto Christ that we increasingly live as women of God. We were born for eternal glory.” In this episode, Sheri Dew shares her personal learnings since giving this address, what it means to be a woman of God today, why it matters to think celestial more often, and how to get better at being active and intentional in our faith. She also revisits the invitation she gave the women listening in 1999 and modifies that invitation...

The real lives of women of faith—new research on what it really means to believe
Magnify
A recent study by the Pew Research Center shared statistics that Latter-day Saint women are top of the charts when it comes to experiencing “a deep sense of spiritual peace and well-being on a weekly basis.” We also report the “highest rate of being very happy.” To someone only paying attention to what media and popular culture might say, these statistics might be surprising. But we know why these numbers ring true: we live our faith daily and it really does bring us greater peace and happiness. Dr. Jenet Erickson, a fellow of the Wheatley Institute and a professor in the School...

Magnify
One thing we all yearn for is a closer connection with the Savior. A question we might often find ourselves asking, “how do I recenter my life on Jesus?” It's a question that Patricia Holland also asked herself. And when she was pondering this question, she had this thought come into her mind, “You don’t have to worry over so many things. The one thing that is needful—the only thing that is truly needful—is to keep your eyes toward the sun—my Son.” Suddenly I had true peace. I knew that my life had always been in his hands—from the very beginning! The sea...

Fresh Reminders About the Temple in our Everyday Lives
Magnify
About a month ago, we had an event called Magnify Learning Together where author Melinda Brown shared some insights about the temple from her book , and something she said has been on our minds ever since: “I believe that when we see our covenant relationships as eternal principles of loving relationships, that it’s life-changing today—not just in some distant future.” This served as a reminder that the temple is important to our everyday lives. We might sometimes find ourselves simply going through the motions, feeling like we’re checking a box because it’ll...
