This Week - September 13, 2026

The Constitution

Broadcast Date: September 13, 2026
May 1787: America was a nation in crisis. Where once the American states had been a people united in the common cause of fighting for freedom, now they were divided and bickering amongst themselves, even shedding the blood of their fellow Americans while foreign powers waited like vultures to devour them. Recognizing the crisis, James…

The Adulterous Woman

Broadcast Date: September 13, 2026
I don’t think that I’m alone when I say that those who have had the greatest impact on me for good have been those who have defended me, believed in me, and loved me especially at those times when I was anything but worthy of it. And to me no one ever exemplified this better than the Savior. May I illustrate? Early in the morning, the…

Mitchie

Broadcast Date: September 13, 2026
I am convinced that we are not alone in this world. There is a loving power that knows us, that watches over us, and that guides us if we’ll listen, as this story very close to home illustrates. A few months ago, my brother-in-law had an experience, which even now in the telling fills his eyes with tears, and his heart with deep…

Old Mustard

Broadcast Date: September 13, 2026
I wish I could say that this story I’m about to tell is profound, but it-it’s not – it is not a profound story! I want to tell you about my old pickup. It’s a 1972 Chevrolet two-wheel drive, otherwise affectionately known as “Old Mustard.” Now, I’ve had it for a long time. Many cars have come and gone through the Rawson household…

The Marathon

Broadcast Date: September 13, 2026
Family and family relationships are as vital to complete and lasting happiness as is water to an ocean. Not too long ago I decided that on my next birthday I would run a marathon. I don’t know why; call me stupid. I just wanted to see if I could do it. Now, I had no desire to run a formally organized marathon. I wanted to do this all by…

Last Week

Patrick Henry

Broadcast Date: September 06, 2026
It has been estimated that less than 1% of the human family in 6000 years of history has been as free as a modern American. That freedom is a precious gift of God through the atonement of His son, Jesus Christ. Can any man truly exercise his agency if he is not spiritually and politically free? Without freedom, faith is dead. Satan can take no man’s freedom away; it…

Elijah

Broadcast Date: September 06, 2026
Elijah from the Old Testament was considered the prophet of the prophets. And yet during his ministry an event occurred from which I draw great strength in tough times. Elijah labored with his whole soul to bring the nation of Israel unto Jehovah, even calling down incredible displays of divine power to persuade the people. But still he was rejected and hated by the…

Happiness

Broadcast Date: September 06, 2026
You know, sometimes I think we live in a grumpy world! – and it so unnecessary. There is no need for any person to be lastingly miserable. When the Savior said, “…be of good cheer…” it was a commandment, not a suggestion. (John 16:33) Once, while serving as a missionary on a very cold Midwest winter morning, my companion and I went out to meet people. In an effort…

Robert Henderson

Broadcast Date: September 06, 2026
It is costly on many levels to carry grudges and fail to forgive. For example:August 1896: Robert Henderson, a prospector and a native of Nova Scotia, was returning to his modest claim on Hunker Creek, just below a mountain called King Solomon’s Dome. He happened to run into George Carmack, a white man, and several First Nation companions traveling with him. As was…

Courage To Do Right

Broadcast Date: September 06, 2026
Some time ago one of my daughters ran into a difficult situation with some friends who wanted to watch a movie with a questionable rating. When asked her opinion, she said she didn’t want to watch it. Well, it turned out that she was the only one who didn’t, and you can probably guess what happened next. The others began to pressure her, saying things like, “You…
