Are Crosses coming to LDS Chapels?
From the video description:
For years, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have traditionally avoided the cross as a religious symbol. This video examines whether that absence stems from formal doctrine, prophetic guidance, or cultural preference. We analyze archival footage and church history to separate official teaching from cultural tradition, providing a clearer picture of how this symbol has been viewed over time.
We also highlight a shifting trend, as younger generations of Latter-day Saints are increasingly choosing to wear cross necklaces. By contrasting historical practices with these modern developments, we discuss what this shift suggests about the future of the faith. Understanding LDS culture requires looking at how symbols evolve, and this breakdown helps clarify why perceptions around this specific icon are currently in flux.
How to Give a Great Sacrament Meeting Talk | Isaac Richards and Ben Crosby
From the video description:
Maybe some of you relate to the stomach-dropping feeling I get when I’m asked to speak in church. If you’re anything like me, those 12 minutes can loom over your whole week.
Today, Ben Crosby and Isaac Richards join us to talk about how to give a talk! How to prepare and deliver a talk with confidence and share a message that will be nourishing for your congregation.
Both Ben and Isaac teach public speaking at a university level, and they’ve just completed an anthology of Latter-day Saint speeches spanning our entire church history—a fascinating window into how we’ve talked, taught, and testified, and what’s shifted about that practice over two centuries.
Despite how central these talks have always been to our Sunday experience, they note, almost none of us are ever taught how to actually give one.
So today: tips and tricks to make your talk less daunting, four methods for delivering and preparing one, and help finding the voice that’s authentically yours. We hope this conversation leaves you feeling a little more prepared for the the next time that call comes.
4 Years Later – The Prayer (brother sister version)
From the video description:
Wow, we can’t believe it’s already been 4 years since we first sang this beautiful duet together. We are so grateful to everyone who encouraged and supported us and our music. We owe so much to this YouTube community, we love you!
My Conversation With a Television Network About My Faith
From the video description:
In 1987, during the Frankfurt Germany Temple open house, I had the opportunity to speak with a national German television network about my faith and why temples are so precious to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
I still remember the joy of bearing witness that the temple is the house of the Lord—a place of peace, covenants, and eternal hope.
Next year, exactly 40 years after that interview, we will celebrate the renovated Salt Lake Temple. Through the years, my love for the Lord’s holy house has only deepened. Temples remind us that God’s plan is filled with light, purpose, and promise.
We look forward with great joy to welcoming friends from around the world to come and see this beautiful and sacred house of the Lord.

The Life in 3D video was absolutely the most impactful by far. If this is your first intro to them I highly suggest that you follow their YouTube channel. Their music is amazing. The 3rd D of this brother and sister group is currently serving a mission. We are blessed to have one of them in our ward right now and just listened to them sing in Stake Conference this morning. The least impactful is the one about crosses. The title of the piece might just as well have been, “Coming to a LDS chapel near you, The cross!” The fact that some youth have chosen to wear crosses should be immaterial. I would simply refer others to a message from President Hinckley in the April 2005 Ensign titled, ‘The Symbol Of Our Faith.’ He masterfully explains, as he always did, why we don’t have crosses and why the symbol of our faith really should be the quality of our lived lives.
