This Week - October 04, 2026

Ruth

Broadcast Date: October 04, 2026
During the course of my career, I’ve been asked many times by troubled teenagers what they can do to help an errant loved one or a friend change. Now, that’s not an easy answer – people do have their agency. But there is an answer. October the [13th] 14th is a day that Ruth will never forget. Her father, while on his way to work, was…

The Picture of the Savior

Broadcast Date: October 04, 2026
On one occasion, a woman on her way home from an appointment felt prompted to go see a young friend of hers in the hospital who was dying of cancer. However, since she had just been there two days before, she brushed it aside. But it came again. This time she turned her car around and headed straight for the hospital, concluding there…

Many Mansions

Broadcast Date: October 04, 2026
Have you ever wondered what the Savior meant when He said, “In My Father’s house are many mansions …”? (John 14:2) Now, recently I came across an explanation of that verse that I really liked. And if you don’t mind, I’d like to share it with you. Years ago, an elderly couple were sitting at home, quietly observing their wedding…

To The Teachers

Broadcast Date: October 04, 2026
Well, now that school is underway, and you’re probably getting back into your routines, I would like to share a story that I believe is probably more of a legend than a fact, but it carries a powerful point. It seems that a traveler in the eastern country overtook an old gentleman one day walking towards a town, and he asked him, “Who’s…

Benjamin Brown

Broadcast Date: October 04, 2026
There has never been a time when the name of Joseph Smith has been both good and evil spoken of by more people in more nations than now. And as many wonder about Joseph Smith – who and what he was, consider the significance of this story. Beginning in June of 1839, the Latter-day Saints in Commerce, Illinois began to grow very ill with…

Last Week

Temptation

Broadcast Date: September 27, 2026
In the war between good and evil, it is a surety that any man who goes it alone against evil will be pounded and marred as surely as were those spikes that pierced the Savior’s flesh. Hence, that you might not be pounded, this meaningful story has been preserved. After Jesus was baptized, the Spirit filled Him and took Him into the wilderness to be with His Father.…

Monday

Broadcast Date: September 27, 2026
I’ve come to the conclusion that resorting to anger to deal with people is just about as useful a tool as a sledgehammer on a computer. It’s no wonder the Savior condemned it. Anger is fraught with far more regrets than benefits, as this story illustrates. A father came home from work one day, and found his children fighting over the television set – something I’m…

Whoever Finds This, I Love You

Broadcast Date: September 27, 2026
You know, I have to confess that sometimes I just wish I could be a little better person – a little more kind, a little more caring, a little more sensitive to those in need, and I don’t think I’m alone in that. I just wish at times I could be a little more like the Savior, especially when I hear stories like this. Years ago there was a little eight-year-old girl…

The Body and Blood

Broadcast Date: September 27, 2026
For any and all who have ever pondered the Communion of Christ, please consider this story: On the last night of the Savior’s life He entered the Garden of Gethsemane with his disciples, all of them being subjected to feelings and emotions exquisitely intense. “…the disciples began to be sore amazed, and very heavy, and to complain in their hearts, wondering if this…

Contention

Broadcast Date: September 27, 2026
Not long ago it was one of those days around my house where everyone seemed to be grouchy and grumpy and oh, glass egos everywhere. As snipping and snapping like a cage of sharks, we started our day. And I have to admit, I was no better than the rest of them. Two of my daughters even got into a heated argument over who got to read the new book. The older one grabbed…
