Sharing The Goodness of The Gospel


The gospel of Jesus Christ means good news. The good news that Jesus Christ brings is that we can live with our families forever after this life if we live his doctrine. Christ tells us we must be baptized and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost in order to be sanctified and live with God, our father, and our family eternally in God's kingdom. "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3)

We have been asked by Christ to share these truths. "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:" (Matthew 28:19). "Behold, I sent you out to testify and warn the people, and it becometh every man who hath been warned to warn his neighbor" (Doctrine & Covenants 88:81).

I've come to realize that one of the great responsibilities I have as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ is to spread the good news of Christ's gospel with others. There are times when this can be difficult in everyday life. I also know that people learn when they are ready to learn, and not when we are ready to teach them. This post is meant to be out there for someone who needs it at this time and wants to seek out Christ.

I hope this post helps someone who is looking to find happiness and wondering how they can be with their family forever. If anyone who has read this post desires to know more about their Savior, Jesus Christ and how he can help them live a happy and fulfilling and full life now and forever, they can chat with a representative of him here.

The Cave of Mental Illness

This is an essay I wrote in the Winter 2014 Semester for my Western Humanities class. I felt like I needed to share it. It is a bit long, but I assure you it's worth your time. Also, take some time to watch the quick video at the end. Jacob Hansen Professor Julie Ransom IHUM 201 Connection to Major 10 April 2014 The Cave of Mental Illness A mere seven months ago I had a different perception of reality. I found myself, as psychologist Kay Jamison puts it, “ enmeshed totally in the blackest caves of the mind ” (68). I, like Jamison, suffer from bipolar disorder. I was diagnosed about twenty months into my mission. Though I was in this cave, during the manic episode I experienced I felt more creative and energetic than I ever had. I felt little need to sleep and could think and make connections very quickly. I understood the world differently than others, and, so I thought, at a higher level. It was as if I had discovered a new revolutionary way of living and I was conf...

On Equality and Inclusion

I was reading today and I was struck by how the Lord doesn't turn anyone away. I feel that as church members, perhaps we have turned some of our gay brothers and sisters away. The Lord hasn't commanded any that they should not partake of his salvation. On conditions of repentance. All men are privileged the same. NONE are forbidden. All are alike unto God 2 Nephi 26   25   Behold, doth he cry unto any, saying: Depart from me? Behold, I say unto you, Nay; but he saith:   a Come  unto me all ye  b ends  of the earth,  c buy  milk and honey, without money and without price. 26  Behold, hath he commanded any that they should  a depart  out of the synagogues, or out of the houses of worship? Behold, I say unto you, Nay. 27  Hath he commanded any that they should not partake of his  a salvation ? Behold I say unto you, Nay; but he hath  b given  it free for  all men; and he hath commanded his people that they shou...

Hate Garments? Think About the Spit and Clay

I'm just gonna say it—I don't enjoy temple garments. They are uncomfortable, pricy, ugly, and just weird. That said, I believe. I believe God wants to protect me and give me a reminder that my Savior literally has me covered. Everywhere. All the time. Elder Holland's talk from the October 2025 General Conference hit me hard.  He said this: "Another truth that is evident here are the instruments the Creator of heaven and earth and all that in them are used to provide this miracle: spit and a handful of dirt! These very unlikely ingredients declare that God can bless us by whatever method He chooses. Like Naaman resisting the River Jordan or the children of Israel refusing to look at the serpent on the staff, how easy it is for us to dismiss the source of our redemption because the ingredients and the instruments seem embarrassingly plain."  It really made sense to me, and it's my testimony that God uses "embarrassingly plain" things to protect us a...
