Allelopathy
Broadcast Date: April 19, 2026
You know, sometimes you can learn some of the most important principles in the strangest places.
It was about 25 years ago on a field trip in the deserts of Utah that I first learned of this interesting phenomenon of nature. We were studying Juniper trees and it was pointed out to me how no grass ever grows in close proximity to Utah…
Karen, Kyle, and the Atonement
Broadcast Date: April 19, 2026
Some two thousand years ago, the Savior of the world suffered in Gethsemane, died on the cross, and rose from the tomb. The Lord referred to these wonderful events by saying that He had “…finished my [his] preparations unto the children of men.” (D&C 19:19)Now that word intrigues me, ‘Preparations.’ What did He mean – ‘Preparations…
The Adulterous Woman (New)
Broadcast Date: April 19, 2026
I have a question: How does God really feel about us. I mean, after all – we’re weak and fallen creatures prone to make mistakes. It seems to be a part of our fallen nature to be ungrateful and forgetful of all that He’s done for us. So with all of this, what are His feelings towards us, His unworthy children? There are many stories of…
Jack-knifed
Broadcast Date: April 19, 2026
Not too long ago I was driving a truck along a road that I very seldom travel. I passed through a little town called Randolph, Utah, when all at once I was struck with a sense of familiarity. I was taken back 32 years ago along this same stretch of road when this experience occurred.
I had taken a load into Evanston, [and] I was on my…
Nothing to Fear
Broadcast Date: April 19, 2026
Not too long ago I came around a corner on a quiet Wyoming highway, and there were some horses all bunched up and running. Now, I looked to see why – and there was a small dog chasing them. Now he couldn’t have weighed more than 10 pounds, but he had that whole herd of horses on the run. It was a comical sight to see all those great big…

Joseph Benson Elder
Broadcast Date: April 12, 2026
Joseph Elder joined the Latter-day Saints in 1855, the only member of his family to do so. The following year he was a student at McKendry College in Lebanon, Illinois, when he felt impressed to go to St Louis, Missouri. There he met Latter-Day Saint missionaries, and they advised him to quit school and assist with the immigration of converts that year traveling to…
Francine's Prompting
Broadcast Date: April 12, 2026
The Savior once said, “… when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth …” (John 16:13)
You know, if you think about it, there is great comfort in that promise. It tells us that we have not been left alone. Now, I have a story to illustrate that point.
Francine and her husband had just moved to a dairy farm. Money was too scarce to hire…
A Peculiar People
Broadcast Date: April 12, 2026
Know this, that every soul is free, To choose his life and what he'll be; For this eternal truth is given, That God will force no man to heaven. He'll call, persuade, direct aright, Bless with wisdom, love, and light; In nameless ways be good and kind, But never force the human mind. (1)
Nevermore was that true than on the day that Moses brought the children of…
Ruth and Naomi
Broadcast Date: April 12, 2026
In an age when it seems to be more and more fashionable to be fickle, faithless, and an infidel, there is a story in the Old Testament that is inspiring and refreshing.
During a time of famine in ancient Israel, a man named Elimelech moved his family from Bethlehem to the country of Moab. While there Elimelech died, leaving behind his wife, Naomi, and two sons. The…
April 3, 1836
Broadcast Date: April 12, 2026
Not long ago I stood in Jerusalem near the Western Wall. I saw the massive stones of the Temple Mount lying in a heap as the Romans left them long ago. I also witnessed people standing before that wall, praying with all the fervor of their soul, their whole bodies engaged in supplicating the Almighty. I was given to understand that some of those people will spend…
