FSY-November 2026-Truth Will Make You Free
Welcome to another episode of He Is Our Story-FSY edition! It’s a new month which means a new chapter inthe FSY guidebook! Chapter 11-Truth willmake you free! I am so excited to spend a month learning and understanding more about truth. We are not just talkingabout honesty here. We are talking aboutthe precious ability to seek, value, and defend truth. Truth is a loaded topic in the day we live. Thinkabout what a teenager scrolls through before they even eat breakfast, they have watched a video from someone they've never met, claiming to have the answer toeverything. They’ve seen a post with ten thousand likes. A clip that looks completely real but was made by AI. A friend's opinion, a celebrity's opinion, and an algorithm that quietly learns what they already agree with and servesthem more of it all day!Never before has so much information been so easy to find and never has it been so hard to know what we can trust to be true. The world is also full of messages like"just follow your heart" and "live your truth," which soundkind but quietly suggest that truth is whatever feels right to me. That's a very different idea from what the Lord teaches.In Doctrine and Covenants 93:24, we get the Lord’s definition of truth: "Truth is knowledge of things as they are, and as they were, and as they are to come." Truth isn’t determined by what is popular and it doesn't change just because someone doesn't believe it anymore. Our job isn't to create truth. Our job is to seek truth by learning and by faith.

Come Follow Me-October 25-November 1, 2026-Jeremiah 31-Lamentations
Have you ever had to tear something down beforeyou could build it back up? Home renovations are usually like that! There is typically a good amount of destruction in a remodel before you begin to re-build! I have seen this in myyard! Sometimes I have to literally dig roots out and cut down the plants or weeds I don’t want before I can plant theones I do! If you understand this concept than you have a basic understanding of what the Lord was asking Jeremiah to do when He called him to be a prophet!We get the answer to that question in Jeremiah31:4-5 we read, “Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built.” “Thou shalt plant vines…The planters shall plant.” And then in verse 28 “And it shall come to pass, that like as I havewatched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build and to plant, saith the Lord.” But how does this happen? We know what it takes to re-build a room or re-landscape a yard. But how do youre-build a life? And maybe even more importantly how do you create a meaningful, hope filled life in the midst of it being torn down? Is it possible to experience hope and distress at the same time? These are just some of the questions Jeremiah is going to answer for us today!

FSY-October Fourth Sunday-Becoming a Covenant Daughter or Son of God
Welcome to another episode of He Is Our Story-FSYEdition! We are closing out the month ofOctober. Finishing up FSY chapter 10-Our Body is Sacred. For both the young women and young men thiscoming Sunday is a focus on becoming a covenant daughter or son of God by practicing humility and virtue. The young women will be studying D&C 25 and Proverbs 31. The young men will bestudying the stripling warriors in Alma 53 and 56. Each will be asked to read the scriptures looking for attributes that lead to virtue and truth. And I was watching another podcast, and Grace Feeman made an observation I hadn’t noticedbefore. She pointed out that both of these scripture accounts developed from a mother’s teachings. In Proverbs 31:1 we read, “The words of King Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.” And we all know the famous line from the stripling warrior story. In Alma 56 we read, “Now they never had fought, yet they did not fear death; yea, they had been taught by their mothers,that if they did not doubt, God would deliver them. And they rehearsed unto me the words of their mothers, saying: We do not doubt our mothers knew it.”Some principles you can learn through reading andstudying books-but some principles are better taught by studying people. And in both of these scripture examples, itwas through the example of a righteous mother that the character traits of virtue and truth were taught. And yes, Iam sure these mothers sat down and taught their children about Jesus Christ and prophets and how to live a good life. Butwhen these mothers were done with their official lesson, they went out and showed their children what it looked like to live a good life, to believe in Jesus Christ, and to follow the prophet. Their lives were the lesson!

Come Follow Me-October 19-25, 2026-Jeremiah 1-20
Have you ever been asked by the Lord to dosomething you felt completely unqualified to do? Maybe it was a calling, a mission, mending a relationship. You looked at the task and just knew there were so many people who were far more able and more willing than you. Despite your hesitancy you responded like Nephi-“I will go and do!” You moved forward trusting that as you obeyed the Lord would provide blessings. But instead, life got harder. He promised to be with you, and now it feels life feels worse than before. If our story looks like this does it mean God hasforsaken us? Does it mean He does not keep His promises? In the Screwtape Letters, C.S. Lewis imagines a devil admitting that his side is in the most danger when a person who no longer feels like obeying God, but still intends to, looks around, and sees no trace of God, asks why he has beenforsaken, but then obeys anyway. Obedience when you feel forsaken. Is that what some mockingly call “blind faith”? Or could it possibly be one of the highest forms of discipleship?Today we are going to let Jeremiah teach us theanswer to this question!

FSY Curriculum-October 2026-The Law of Chastity
"Lately it feels like you can't open a news app without seeing the same question: Is AI becoming too powerful? Some people are excited. Some are nervous. But almost everyone isasking the same follow-up: Who is responsible for setting the limits? The companies that built it? Governments? The people using it?Despite all the different opinions, you won't find anyone suggesting that we just let everyone do whatever theywant with AI and hope it all works out! And that is because we all understand that when something is powerful, it needs safeguards. The more powerful it is, the more important those safeguards become.Now let me take that question somewhere you might not expect. There is a power far greater than any softwarethat every one of us carries. It's the power to create life. Not to simulate it or imitate it, but to actually bring a human being into the world, with a body, a spirit, and an eternal future.Here's what I want us to think abouttoday: We can't agree on who should set the limits for AI. But we've never had to wonder who has set the limits for the power to create life. It was neverours to decide. It was a gift, and the Giver told us how to use it.He didn't just hand it to us and walkaway. He gave it with purpose and with boundaries, and I want to suggest that the boundaries aren't there to take something from us. They're there because Heknows exactly how powerful it is, and exactly how much He loves the people it affects.

Come Follow Me-Isaiah 58-66-October 12-18,2026
We have had a week to sit with the messages from this most recent General Conference. And this week, as the titles for each of the talks was released, I tried to find a theme, a common principle weaving throughout, if not all, at least most of them. I heard sermons about Tithing, Fasting, Loving One another, using the language of peacemakers, leaving theworld behind, the power of covenants-there were two talks entitled “A Child of God.” I began to think the theme might be “back to basics!” And then the title of Elder Renlunds talk jumped out at me. “How long Will it be, Ere They Believe Me?” The title wasa question! It was a question that the Lord asked Moses when the children of Israel were complaining about life in the wilderness. Life outside of Egypt was hard. They questioned Moses and they questioned the Lord. Did either one of them know what they were doing? This was after the people had seen the miraculous Passover in Egypt. When the first born sons in all of Egypt died if their house was not marked by the blood of the Lamb. This was after theywitnessed the parting of the Red Sea. This was after they saw fire reign down on Mt Sinai, and after the miracle of Manna, and water from a rock. How long would it be before theybelieved the Lord would bless and prosper them? Have we seen miracles come from paying our tithing? Have we seen miracles borne out of fasting? Do weremember our diving identity as Children of God? Have we experienced the peace that comes into our lives as we avoid contention and seek to love one another? Do we rememberthe times we have experienced the protection, blessings and inspiration that come from attending the House of the Lord? Like the ancient House of Israel, we have had miraculous experiences with the Divine, and yet, we still findourselves crying out, “Why is this happening to me?” “Has the Lord forgotten me?” “Where are the blessings from myobedience?” Can you hear the Lord asking us the same question He asked Moses? “How long will it be before you believe me?” So, for me anyway, that was the theme of conference. It was aninvitation to remember the places I have been with God, and an opportunity to focus and trust in the promised blessings that have been made to me from God. This week as we finish up Isaiah, we are going to be reminded what true worship looks like, what life looks lifewhen we separate ourselves from God, the promises given to those in a covenant relationship with Jehovah. And we aregoing to be given a glimpse of the joy that awaits those we have kept their covenants with God. Then we are left to answer for ourselves Jehovah’s question-“How long will it be before you believe me?”

Come Follow Me-October 5-11, 2026-Isaiah 50-57
There are 52 weeks in a year. 52 Sundays. If we minus 2 Sundays for general conference, and two Sundays for stake conference we are left with 48 Sundays. 48 opportunities each year to participate in the ordinance of the sacrament. I amguessing here, but I would venture to say that about 40 out of those 48bopportunities to partake of the sacrament, you will find me reading a certainbchapter in scripture as I seek to repent and draw closer to my Savior duringthis sacred time. And that chapter is abpart of our study in Isaiah this week. I can’t even remember when I discovered this chapter or when it began to have such a hold on my heart. Elder Maxwell said, “There could have been no atonement except for the character of Christ.” This chapter is why I can honestly claim to love Isaiah-because even if I do not understand any other chapter in Isaiah-this particular chapter has done more to help me come to know the character of Jesus Christ, than any other chapter of scripture. As we have talked about before, and I am quoting Tad Callister here, “The Atonement ofJesus Christ is infinite in scope, but individual in reach.” This chapter of scripture has done more tohelp me understand that concept than any other chapter of scripture. It is a chapter that is also found, in its entirety in the Book of Mormon. It is the last of the four “servant songs” foundin Isaiah. It is referred to in the New Testament by Matthew, Peter, Paul, and Phillip. It seems I am not the only one who really,really likes this chapter!

Come Follow Me-Isaiah 40-49-Sept. 28-Oct. 4, 2024
Fear not! I am with thee, oh, be not dismayed! ForI am thy God and will still give thee aid. I’ll strengthen thee, help thee and cause thee to stand. Upheld by my righteous omnipotent hand! These are the words to one of my favorite hymns. And they are also the words of Isaiah! In Isaiah 41:10 we read—And if you are thinking that these words sound alittle softer than the previous two weeks of Isaiah-well you are right! There is definitely a tone and theme shift inthese coming chapters. Scholars think these chapters were written after the Assyrian army destroyed all the smallercities of Judah, but then, as they tried to overtake Jerusalem, all 185,000 of the Assyrian soldiers were killed in the night. Jerusalem was miraculously saved because Israel had heeded the words of Isaiah. They had repented and turned tothe Lord, and the Lord kept His covenant with Israel-to fight their battles for them! He delivered them just like He had when they fled Egypt! This theme of Jehovah being one who has the powerto deliver is repeatedly compared to the world that has no such power, over the course of these chapters. So, for us tomake these chapters about your story, I want you to push pause for a second and make a list of two or three trials in your life that you would like to experience deliverance from. Another repeated theme we are going to see thisweek is the Lord telling Israel, and therefore all of us, “fear not!” At least 8 times throughout these chapters weread phrases like, “be not afraid”, “fear thou not”, and “fear not”. So, again, for us to really connect thesechapters to our lives, I want you to push pause and write down two or three things in your life that are causing you to experience fear.One other theme we are going to focus on todayfrom these chapters in Isaiah, is the same theme that we have been learning about all year in our study of the Old Testament. And that is the theme of the power of thecovenant that the Lord and Israel have made with each other. It is because of this covenant relationshipthat the Lord can counsel Israel to “fear not.” It is because of the power of the covenant that Israel can trust that when the Lord says things like, (read Isaiah 49:8-10) they can have confidence in the Lord’s promises. What blessings can we confidently expect from keeping covenants in our day? As I read this quote from Elder Soares who spoke of Covenant Confidence in April of 2024, I want youto listen to the blessings that he lists and pick out one or two that would help you with the list you have just made of your trials and fears. He said, “Such confidence…fortifies ourability to love and serve each other, and it strengthens our souls to live in an unholy world that is increasingly dark and discouraging. It empowers us to overcome the seed of doubtand despair, fear and frustration, heartache and hopelessness that the enemy tries to drive deep into our hearts, especially when life is hard, trials are long, or circumstances are difficult. Dear brothers and sisters, those who gaingenuine confidence in the covenants made in the house of the Lord through Jesus Christ possess one of the most powerful forces that we can access in the life.”I hope you will invite the Spirit to teach you howyour covenants can empower you as you face the trials and fears you wrote down. Remember the words from Elisha to his young servant when he saw the horses and chariots that encompassed the city, and he askedthe prophet, “What shall we do?” Elishaanswered him, “Fear not: for they that be with us are more than be with them.” And then Elisha prayed for the Lord to openthe young boy’s eyes, and he beheld that the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. Wecan have confidence that the Lord will do the same for us as we strive to keep our covenants with Him.
