Anchored

In this anchor point, we reflect on a powerful message from Kelly Johnson’s conference talk about what it truly means to be reconciled to God—not through perfection, but through agency. Agency is more than just the freedom to choose; it’s the ongoing opportunity to choose to do what is right and to realign ourselves with Jesus Christ again and again. Even when we overthink, doubt, or dismiss a pro...

Ethan never meant to lose his way. But somewhere between a childhood tragedy, a decade of rebellion, and a string of broken beginnings, he found himself in a place he never expected—alone, stripped down, and asking, “What am I doing here?” Then came the knock on the door.  The perfectly timed strangers.  The whisper in his heart: Peace, be still. As he searched through other faiths, chased success...

In this third anchor point from Elder Jeffrey R. Holland’s powerful talk “And Now I See,” we focus on his unmistakable, lifelong witness of the Book of Mormon and the profound role it has played in shaping his faith, testimony, and discipleship. Elder Holland testifies that the Book of Mormon is not just true—it is divinely powerful, an instrument the Lord uses to reveal truth, bring light, and an...

In this episode, we anchor ourselves in Elder Jeffrey R. Holland’s powerful talk “And Now I See” and the miraculous moment when the Savior healed a blind man using something as simple—and unexpected—as spit and mud. Why mud? Why spit? Because Jesus Christ didn’t need the element to be powerful. His voice was the power. This anchor point reminds us that God can use any element, any circumstance, an...

In this Anchor Point, we turn to Elder Jeffrey R. Holland’s powerful message, “And Now I See,” and the story of the man born blind. When the miracle unfolds, the Pharisees ask a familiar and revealing question: “Who did sin—this man, or his parents?” Rather than rejoicing in healing, they look for someone to blame. Together, we explore how easily this same pattern shows up in our own lives—how qui...

Hannah  had plans — a career in animal care, a mission at nineteen, a future that made sense. But when heartbreak hit and faith began to fracture, she walked away from everything she once believed. Church. God. Hope. What followed were years of questions, anger, and silence. She searched for peace in every direction except the one she’d left behind. Still, something — or Someone — kept reaching fo...

She lived between two worlds—inside the church, and outside it—never fully belonging to either. A life shaped by constant moves, Navy travels, and family shifts, Sierra Larson navigated ADHD, loneliness, and choices that left her questioning where she truly fit. But a single moment, a quiet prompting, and a mission stripped of distractions would change everything. Alone with the Savior, she discov...

In this Anchor Point, we reflect on Elder Ulisses Soares' powerful invitation to stand unwavering in our discipleship of Jesus Christ. He teaches that true discipleship requires honest self-examination—looking inward and asking how firmly we are actually standing, especially when discipleship feels stretching or uncomfortable. Elder Soares reminds us that no one can assist in the Lord’s work...

In this second Anchor Point, Elder Ulisses Soares teaches a powerful and reassuring truth: as we strive to change our behavior, we must do so with faith and humility, staying firmly anchored in the grace of Jesus Christ. True discipleship isn’t about earning our salvation through effort alone. It’s about allowing the Savior’s grace to strengthen us as we seek to become better, repent daily, and al...

This week, Elder Ulisses Soares teaches that temperance is a foundational anchor point in our discipleship of Jesus Christ. He invites us to take extraordinary measures to ensure our foundation is strong, stable, and capable of withstanding the pressures of our day. In this Anchor Point, we pause to honestly examine our own foundation. Where might there be gaps or weaknesses? What habits, influenc...

She built her life on faith—steady, unshakable, sure.  But when the winds came, everything she thought she understood about safety, family, and God began to splinter. Children who once prayed beside her slipped into silence. Two faced divorces that cracked her heart wide open. One made choices that sent her searching the heavens for answers she couldn’t find. And when the storm refused to break, S...

In this Anchor Point from Sister Dennis’s talk, we dive into the divine gift of creating a safe space for others—a space where people feel truly seen, heard, and loved without judgment. 🌿 Sister Dennis teaches how we can offer genuine support without feeling the need to fix everything, simply by being present and creating an environment of trust and compassion. Learn how this kind of loving prese...

In Anchor Points #2 of our series on Sister Dennis’s talk, we dive into the powerful role of questions in our discipleship and what the Lord invites us to do when answers don’t come right away. Sister Dennis shares the very human experience of wondering, wrestling, and seeking—and how essential it is to stay rooted in trust when heaven feels quiet. Recently, President Oaks visited our own home war...

One of the most comforting truths we can hold onto is that the Lord measures our efforts and progress according to our own degree of difficulty. He isn’t comparing you to anyone else. Your journey, your trials, and your pace are unique—and He takes them all into account. When we realize this, we can experience a profound sense of peace. We don’t have to beat ourselves up for where we are, and we d...

He spent six years behind bars—haunted by loss, chained by addiction, and certain that God had stopped listening. But sometimes, the places we think are meant to break us become the very ground where redemption begins. In a world where hope felt like a cruel joke, Garrett found himself face-to-face with grace in the most unlikely of places: a prison cell. What started as rebellion and ruin became...

In President Eyring’s words, the greater burden the Lord is preparing us to carry is eternal life itself. That blessing is not light, casual, or comfortable. It requires a soul that has been strengthened, stretched, refined, and transformed until we are able to stand in His presence—and feel at home there. Most of us instinctively cling to what feels safe. We like our routines, our familiar though...

In this Anchor Point, we go deep into President Eyring’s powerful imagery—“the steel is proven.” Just like steel is tested through heat, pressure, and weight, our discipleship is also proven through the refining experiences of everyday life. We explore: 🔥 The Heat — those moments that feel overwhelming, uncomfortable, or stretching. The trials that burn away the unnecessary and reveal what truly...

In today’s Anchor Point, we dive deep into President Eyring’s powerful invitation to see the evidence of God’s love—especially in the moments that feel like refinement. So often we think refining is just “passing a test,” but President Eyring teaches that it’s far more tender and intentional than that. Refinement is transformation. Refinement is strengthening. Refinement is God shaping us into wha...

Leslie has lived a life of extraordinary ordinary moments—seven children, parents under one roof, moves across continents, and a faith that never fit neatly into the mold. From the quiet of a Utah closet as a child to youth camps under foreign skies, she learned early that God doesn’t always arrive on our schedule—and sometimes, the answers come only when we risk everything on what we do know. By...

In this Anchor Point episode, we dive deep into Elder Kevin G. Brown’s powerful reminder that our testimony is not passive—it’s a living, growing gift that can transform our lives when we choose to nourish it. We explore how agency plays a crucial role in strengthening our testimony. When we intentionally acknowledge the Giver, recognizing His glorious attributes—His omniscience, His love, His mer...

In this Anchor Point, we dive deep into Elder Kevin G. Brown’s powerful reminder that light often comes gradually—and that in today’s world, a strong testimony is not something we can simply assume will stay with us. It’s something we must nourish, protect, and deliberately choose to strengthen. Elder Brown teaches that revelation and spiritual clarity usually come “line upon line,” and that it’s...

In this episode of Anchor Point, we dive into Elder Brown’s recent General Conference talk and explore the powerful truths he taught about the character of God. Elder Brown reminds us that God’s omnipotence and omniscience aren’t just grand attributes — they are expressions of His perfect, personal love for each of us. In this episode, we discuss: 🔹 What it really means that God is all-powerful —...

Meagen grew up believing in light—optimistic, full of life, and certain that faith would carry her through anything. Yet beneath her smile, she often wrestled with quiet doubts—questions of worth, moments when confidence slipped through her fingers, and a lingering fear that she might never be enough. Then came the silence of a heartbeat that should have been there… and the night she realized her...

Inspired by President Oaks’ powerful message on what is real, this week’s final anchor point dives into “the gap” — the spaces that open in our families through divorce, separation, distance, death, or circumstances we never expected. Some gaps we can step into with love, support, and presence. Other times… we can’t. Sometimes we’re not invited, not allowed, or not in a position to fill the space...

In President Oaks’s message “What is Real?”, AnchorPoint 2 takes us deeper: If we’re commanded to seek what is real, we must also learn to recognize what is not. So much of the confusion, discouragement, and fear we experience doesn’t come from truth—it comes from illusion. Satan works in shadows. He distorts our challenges, our worth, our progress, and even our relationship with God. When we don’...
