How to Fall in Love With the Old Testament This Year by Autumn Dickson This week is an introduction to the Old Testament rather than any specific group of scripture. With my last post for this scripture block, I testified of the value of studying the Old Testament. With this post, I want to talk about a couple of things we can do to maximize what we take out of it. The first way is to let go of the need to read everything listed for the week. When I was in seminary in high school, we were encouraged to read the book of scripture that we were studying for that year. I am Type A, and so I read it all in order. There was a whole lot that was unhelpful to me at that period in time, and I walked away from the Old Testament with reinforced ideas that it was difficult. You don't have to push yourself to read everything for the week. Scripture study is not about finishing an assignment; it's about drawing closer to God. Reading each and every line in high school didn't draw me closer to God; it just gave my intense personality the satisfaction of saying I was able to complete the whole thing. Instead of reading everything through, consider finding one story to study throughout the week, and then observe that story through multiple resources and angles. Summarize it so you understand what's going on; you can actually also ask AI for a summary of the chapters from an LDS perspective. Make sure you understand where it is in the timeline as a whole. Ask AI about culturally significant points, Israeli history, and symbols to study. This is helpful because even though AI isn't perfect, it can give you something to follow along so you're not completely lost in the thick of it. It's a game changer. On top of using AI, utilize other Christian resources. We may not have everything in common, but Christians know their bible. I frequently utilize websites from other churches, including other translations of the bible, to help me understand what is going on in what I'm reading. Even if the King James version of the bible is the closest translation, other translations can help me understand what the King James version is trying to say. None of these translations are perfect, but that doesn't mean they can't add layers of understanding. Another tip. Learn about the characters, and then ask yourself what they might have been feeling. Learn about the world they were born into and ask yourself how you might have been if you were born into the same world. Learn who they are and what makes them like or unlike Christ. Find modern day examples of their choices and learn how Christ might react in our day. Which is my next practical tip. This one is found in the Come Follow Me manual, but I wanted to share my personal experience with it. Find Christ. Try to find Christ in a way that you haven't seen before. Find Christ in the people and symbols. Find Christ for them. If they didn't turn to Christ, ponder how things might have been different if they had chosen Him. Then take a minute to observe your own life and whether you're rejecting Him in the same ways that they did. Ask yourself the question, “What decisions did Christ make in relation to His people? Why did He make that decision? How does it show His love? What is He trying to teach them?” Whenever I've gotten stuck trying to pull something out of a scripture block, it is helpful to look for Christ. I've learned that there is always something there. My last practical tip is simple. Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is to ignore the words completely and let the Spirit speak. This is not an example with the scriptures, but it is an example with the word of God. As I'm working on this, the October General Conference has just been completed. I didn't have many questions written down. I didn't try setting up my entire house so that my kids would be distracted and occupied so I could focus (that hasn't worked in the past). At one point during the conference, I sent a picture of four kids climbing on my lap. I didn't even know my lap was big enough to have four kids sitting on it, let alone climbing. I sent the caption, “If you ask me what I got out of conference, the answer is nothing.” And honestly, conference ended up being exactly what I thought it would be. I was always putting out small fires like giant bloody noses from my two year old or messes from our new puppy. My goal for this past conference was low. I just wanted it on in my house, even if it was just background noise. I've learned that if I strive for more than that, I usually just end up angry with my kids for being kids. So rather, I wanted it on so it could invite the Spirit and if the Lord really needed to tell me something, then the Spirit would be there. As I found myself watching my two year old in the bathtub (the bloody nose really was gnarly), I found peace with my computer sitting up on the counter playing conference on YouTube. I learned that even if I couldn't sit at Christ's feet like Mary, I could still feel the Spirit when my family needed me to be Martha. You were not created for the scriptures. The scriptures were created for you. Utilize them for you. You don't have to beat yourself over the head for imperfection. I testify of scripture study, but I also testify that studying can look like the scriptures playing in the background of whatever fire you're putting out. It can look like carrying one of the people in your heart while you're going throughout your day. It can look like completely missing the words of what you're reading or listening to and simply leaning on Christ when you take a few moments to catch your breath. I testify of studying the scriptures in the exact way that they bring you closer to Christ. Don't put pressure on yourself to make it look like someone else's study. Let Christ show you how to draw closer to Him by utilizing the Old Testament this year. I testify that the Old Testament is worth it, and I testify that it's possible to get something out of the Old Testament. I testify that we live in a world where scripture study doesn't have to look traditional; it just has to bring you closer to Christ. I testify that you can read words on a page and have the Spirit tell you something completely different. I always testify that Christ wants to draw closer to you, and I testify that He can do so through the Old Testament if you simply let Him know you're willing to let it happen.

The Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew and many words can have various interpretations.(12:06) Divine investiture of authority allows the Son to have the power to speak as if he is the Father.(18:11) The creation story is not about how. It's about why. Man is nothing and yet God wants to give us everything He has.(21:18) The historical timeframe of Moses 1.(23:54) Satan's name only appears in the Bible 13 times.

We look at Moses coming into his Prophetic call and something about the world before this one. Come Follow Me 2026 Old Testament 

A Nagging Feeling; A Gift by Autumn Dickson Welcome to the Old Testament. I remember the first year I prepared to teach from the Old Testament back in 2022, and I remember being quite overwhelmed with the idea of it. The Old Testament is a very foreign way of writing; it holds a lot of cultural context that can make it difficult. As I worked to prepare messages that year, I found that I wasn't totally wrong in my apprehension. The Old Testament was hard, and it took me much longer to find messages in there and to understand the messages. But I also grew to love the Old Testament that year. I testify that it is worth studying, and it's worth the extra effort. Oftentimes the things that require the most of us are the very things that draw us closer to Christ and therefore, become our favorite things. Which is actually what I want to share today. I remember sitting in a church class and hearing someone say something along the lines of, “We need to stop making people feel bad if they don't study everyday. Some of us just can't, and God still loves us.” I thought that was an interesting observation to make for a couple of reasons. The first reason I found it interesting was because I hadn't heard a single comment that was remotely condemning towards those who hadn't been studying everyday. If someone was feeling guilty about not studying, it wasn't coming directly from the other people who were commenting. Was it coming from the Holy Ghost or from social pressure? I'm not sure. However, let's focus more on my second reason for finding this comment interesting. That reason is going to take the rest of my message. The Lord very strongly asked me to start creating content for the Come Follow Me program. It started with a blog; I felt much more comfortable with this because I could hide behind my writing and not put my face up there. I still didn't want to do the blog because it sounded like it would take a ton of effort, but it sounded more doable than other forms of sharing content. The Lord is tricky that way sometimes because after I got the hang of a blog, He told me to expand my efforts to YouTube. Then a podcast. Instagram. Facebook. TikTok. I fought Him every step of the way if we're being totally honest. There are a couple of reasons I fought Him. The first reason was that I didn't want to be more visible. I had spent a good portion of my life trying to make myself more visible to feel better about myself, and it had only ever burned me. There came a point when I started doing the exact opposite. The second reason is more applicable to what I want to talk about. It was going to be so much work. And it was. Oh my, this has all been so much work. Each step of the way has required a huge learning curve. Creating a website was overwhelming, and there were many angry tears. I almost gave up completely the first time I ever filmed a video and if it hadn't been for my husband forcing me back into the room to try again, I might have given up. Every step of the way, my soul fought with Him over adding just a bit more. I argued that I already didn't have time to do what I was doing. I argued that it was already requiring so much of me to put myself out there. I argued that I was already sacrificing a lot for this. But He persisted and has won up to this point. The effort extended beyond just a learning curve for technology. Trying to share a message about Jesus Christ every single week has been…stretching. I can't tell you how often I've felt that I had nothing left to share. I can't tell you how many times I've had writers block and stared at the screen for a collective number of hours with nothing to show for it. I've been led down research rabbit holes that sometimes amounted to something, and other times, it all came to an anticlimactic stop. I'm a stay-at-home mom who started creating content in 2020. I will hit my 6 year mark this year. To say that I have studied the scriptures is an understatement because my qualifications for this were non-existent beyond what my parents had lovingly taught me at home. I had to study, harder than I ever studied in school, to allow the Lord to help me create. I testify that it was so much work, and  can't testify enough of how this work has changed me. Behind the role of mother and wife, creating this content week after week after week has completely transformed me. It has changed me more than my mission changed me. I am completely new. So should my friend feel bad about not reading the scriptures? Many people would say, “No! Don't make them feel bad! It's better to just teach them the happy effects of scripture study to inspire them.” And you know what? Maybe they're right. I think oftentimes, it is most effective to try and inspire someone into doing the right thing to make their life better. On the flip side, the only reason I started this journey was because I could no longer enjoy my TV show or book while my kids were napping. Every time I sat down to watch and take my break, I felt that nagging feeling that I needed to be investing my time in what God wanted me to do. To be 100% honest, I felt bad for ignoring Him. Feeling guilty that I wasn't following what He had asked me to do is the very thing that got me started on one of the most life-changing things I've ever experienced. The bad feeling was exactly what I needed. So was my friend feeling the Holy Ghost or the pressures of the society around her? I don't know. But I do know this. Acting on that guilty feeling and prioritizing study (because heaven knows the Old Testament requires study) is life-changing. It is hard, but all the best things are. Don't miss out. Someday you'll be given the opportunity to see what you missed out on, and I'm almost positive that's half the reason for the gnashing of teeth on the other side. We will be so mad at ourselves for missing out. Studying in order to create content each week has been so hard. So hard. So painfully hard. Weeks on end of feeling like I was trying to move the Great Wall of China with just my hands. But studying is worth it. I can testify of that principle more than I can testify of a lot of principles. You don't have to be perfect. There were so many imperfect days, but even the imperfect days contributed to changing me. Commit to yourself that this year is the year that you'll engage in scripture study. The Old Testament has to be studied. When the day comes that you're willing to engage in the commandment to study the word of God everyday, you will get to the point where you will wish you had started earlier. Oh how I wish I had developed the hope I have now while I was still in high school. It would have saved me in so many ways. I testify that scripture study is worth it. I testify that the Old Testament has a lot to give if you're willing to give. God stands ready to speak to you and change your life. He stands ready to let the hope of Christ completely transform how you feel about everything important in your life. Let the Spirit tell you that you need to give more of yourself because that is the Spirit telling you how to elevate your life to a whole new level. Listen.

This podcast introduces the Old Testament to kids. We use this text from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Old Testament Stories for Children: About the Old TestamentHeavenly Father's promises to His children long ago illustration of pre-earth lifeThe first part of the Holy Bible is the Old Testament. These scriptures were written a long time ago, even before Jesus Christ was born. It has stories that help us have faith in Him. It teaches us that each person on earth is part of Heavenly Father's family and that He loves His children.Deuteronomy 7:7–9⁠; Isaiah 45:10–12 Adam and Eve in the GardenIn the Old Testament, Jesus Christ is called Jehovah and the Lord. He follows Heavenly Father's instructions. Since the time of Adam and Eve, Heavenly Father has sent the Lord Jesus Christ to speak to His prophets. Heavenly Father sends the Holy Ghost to help us know a prophet's words are true.Exodus 6:2–3⁠; 2 Chronicles 20:20⁠; Amos 3:7⁠; 2 Peter 1:21⁠; Moses 2:1 Adam's posterityThe Lord promised the prophet Abraham and his wife Sarah that their family would grow and bless the whole world. Their grandson Jacob had a large family that became a nation. They were called the house of Israel, or Israelites. Prophets taught them to look forward to when Jesus Christ would come.Genesis 15:5–6⁠; 17:1–8⁠; Deuteronomy 18:15⁠; Isaiah 7:14 people looking at rainbowMany stories in the Old Testament show how the Lord kept His promises to the Israelites.Genesis 9:13–17⁠; Jeremiah 11:4–5⁠; Hebrews 11:1–35 Moses showing staff to peopleWhen the Israelites listened to the prophets and kept the commandments, the Lord helped them. When they disobeyed, He could not help them.Deuteronomy 11:26–28⁠; Job 36:11–12 children reading scripturesYou are part of Heavenly Father's family. Heavenly Father is kind, and He loves you. He has a plan for you. Because of the Lord Jesus Christ, you can return to live with Heavenly Father again. Just like the Israelites were taught, you can choose to have faith in the Lord and keep His commandments.Exodus 15:2⁠; Deuteronomy 4:31⁠; 5:10⁠; Moses 1:39The song scripture power used in this episode is linked here. https://youtu.be/wxCntCIB-YA?feature=sharedThis podcast is a Bible Podcast for Kids.

Recognizing these genres is crucial for proper interpretation and enhances the reading experience. Challenges of the Old Testament: The text is lengthy and covers a vast historical period, which can be overwhelming. It also includes complex themes such as violence and cultural practices that may challenge modern readers. Christ in the Old Testament: Jehovah, the Lord in the Old Testament, is identified as the premortal Jesus Christ. Understanding this connection allows readers to see Christ’s active role throughout the text, not just in prophecies of His mortal ministry. Resources for Study: Utilizing various resources, including the Come Follow Me manual, podcasts, and online tools, can enhance understanding and provide context for difficult passages. Addressing Difficult Questions: It is acceptable for teachers to admit when they do not know the answer to a question. This honesty fosters a learning environment and encourages further exploration of the scriptures. Leadership Applications Encouraging Engagement: Leaders can promote a deeper understanding of the Old Testament by encouraging members to explore its genres and themes, helping them to appreciate its relevance to their faith. Creating a Supportive Environment: By modeling humility and openness about not having all the answers, leaders can create a safe space for discussion and inquiry, allowing members to feel comfortable asking questions. Utilizing Resources: Leaders should leverage available resources, such as the new institute manuals and online tools, to prepare lessons that are informative and engaging, ensuring that the focus remains on the scriptures themselves.

December 15–21: “The Family Is Central to the Creator's Plan”The Family: A Proclamation to the World (Explained to Kids)Even before we were born, we were part of a family—the family of our heavenly parents. That pattern continues on earth. Families here, at their best, are meant to echo the perfect pattern in heaven.“The family is central to the Creator's plan.”“⁠The Family: A Proclamation to the World⁠” is clearly about families. But it is equally about God's plan of salvation.“Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ.”Think of paragraphs 6 and 7 of the family proclamation as a pattern for “happiness in family life.” Families are important in Heavenly Father's plan.I am a “beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents.”You're listening to Come Follow Me Kids!A Come Follow Me Podcast for Primary Kids of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.We are an interactive game play podcast for kids.

The first 5 min. is a guided meditation followed by a mindful reading of the Come Follow Me lesson from the manual with pauses for pondering. And a 10 min. self guided meditation... or in other words, time for you to ponder, pray and reflect...or drift into much needed restful sleep.

Today, in light of the upcoming Come Follow Me lesson which covers Official Declaration 2, we're honored to share a conversation with W. Paul Reeve and Ramesus Stewart-Johnson about race, the priesthood and temple restriction, and what it really means to root out racism in our church community today.Since lifting the priesthood and temple ban in 1978, we have witnessed a great flourishing of the church, as multitudes have embraced the restored gospel in Africa and elsewhere. We can pause to celebrate this transformation occurring in the body of Christ, while contemplating how we can continue to follow the prophetic challenge to root out racism in our church, in our society and in our hearts today.. Part of this work is recognizing that myths and misinformation about our history on race persist to this day, subtle remnants of racism.This conversation felt bold, and at times, challenging. But both Paul and Ramesus share their personal stories, insights, and convictions to help us face our past and future with clarity and spiritual courage. Paul walks us through the history—how the restriction began, how it was solidified, and how newly available primary sources push back against the idea, expressed in our Come Follow Me manual, that we “just don't know” why the priesthood and temple restrictions were put in place. Paul argues that, until we come face-to-face with our history, we will not learn what we should from it. Ramesus helps us grapple with the lasting spiritual and emotional impact this history has had on many Black Saints—and how genuine discipleship, rooted in grace, honesty, and reconciliation, may be the key to moving forward.Paul is the Simmons Chair of Mormon Studies at the University of Utah and author of Let's Talk About Race and Priesthood, published by Deseret Book, as well as Religion of a Different Color, a landmark history of race and the early Church and winner of multiple book awards. Ramesus founded the North Texas Genesis Group as a support for Black Latter-day Saints, and now leads Black Lives Bless, an organization devoted to building beloved community through storytelling and truth-telling across the global Church and beyond.We're deeply grateful to Paul and Ramesus for being willing to share their hearts and their wisdom with us.You can watch a video of how Paul would lead a Sunday School discussion on Official Declaration 2 on our YouTube channel, and you can find Paul's slides for that discussion here.You can learn more from Black Lives Bless on their website, blacklivesbless.org.And find even more from Faith Matters on this important topic in this week's newsletter on our website, faithmatters.org.

December 1–7: “The Vision of the Redemption of the Dead”Doctrine and Covenants 137–138The revelations recorded in Doctrine and Covenants 137 and 138 are separated by more than 80 years and 1,500 miles (2,400 km). Section 137 was received by the Prophet Joseph Smith in 1836 in the Kirtland Temple, and section 138 was received by Joseph F. Smith, sixth President of the Church, in 1918 in Salt Lake City. But doctrinally, these two visions belong side by side. They both answer questions that many people—including God's prophets—have about life after death.

I always keep a copy in my pocket, and I share it with people who are curious about our standards. It has been updated and refreshed to better cope with the challenges and temptations of our day. The new version of For the Strength of Youth is available online in 50 different languages and will also be available in print. It will be a significant help for making choices in your life. Please embrace it as your own and share it with your friends. This new version of For the Strength of Youth is subtitled A Guide for Making Choices. To be very clear, the best guide you can possibly have for making choices is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the strength of youth. So the purpose of For the Strength of Youth is to point you to Him. It teaches you eternal truths of His restored gospel—truths about who you are, who He is, and what you can accomplish with His strength. It teaches you how to make righteous choices based on those eternal truths.13 It's also important to know what For the Strength of Youth does not do. It doesn't make decisions for you. It doesn't give you a “yes” or “no” about every choice you might ever face. For the Strength of Youth focuses on the foundation for your choices. It focuses on values, principles, and doctrine instead of every specific behavior. The Lord, through His prophets, has always been guiding us in that direction. He is pleading with us to “increase [our] spiritual capacity to receive revelation.”14 He is inviting us to “hear Him.”15 He is calling us to follow Him in higher and holier ways.16 And we are learning in a similar way every week in Come, Follow Me.   American Conservative University Podcast (ACU) is not an official representative for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Today, our interdenominational Christian ministry serves the poor in primarily 17 countries throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. Thanks to our faithful donors, we are able to provide food, housing, healthcare, education, fresh water, emergency relief, micro-enterprise solutions and much more. We are proud to have fed millions of people and provided more than 15.7 billion dollars in aid. Our faith inspires us to be an organization built on compassion, and motivated by love. Our mission is to bring relief to the poorest of the poor in the countries where we serve. We strive to reflect God's unconditional love. It's a sacrificial love that embraces all people regardless of race or religion. We believe that we can show His love by serving the “least of these” on this earth as Christ challenged us to do in Matthew 25. We pray that by God's grace, and with your support, we can continue to bring relief to the suffering and hope to the hopeless. --------------------------------------------------------

Fr, Mike compares the story of the rich young man to the story of Zacchaeus, highlighting the difference in their willingness to follow Christ with their whole hearts. Looking at the stories of these young men, Fr. Mike invites us to reflect on our willingness to follow Christ with all that we are and all that we have.
