Elder Fale teaches that every person is a beloved child of heavenly parents, illustrating God's unearned love by showing his children their baby pictures: they did nothing to earn their parents' love and can do nothing to lose it.

Elder Eyring speaks to the moments when we realize "I can't fix this," the thought that came to a friend whose son had died.

Elder Rasband speaks to everyone grieving for loved ones who have turned away from the Lord, acknowledging that lecturing and pressure often widen the rift.

Elder Villanueva tells how his mother, separated and raising eight children, chose to pay a full tithe when the family joined the Church.

Elder Bednar, using the image of a damaged passport rejected at a border, teaches that ordinances and covenants are our credentials for returning to God, and that their integrity must be maintained through ongoing faithfulness, ratified over time by the Holy Spirit of Promise.

Elder Lebethoa, whose name means "joy" and whose wife's means "eternal," recalls their first serious argument as newlyweds and how the Savior's words that contention is not of Him showed them the way forward.
