How can you spew hatred while simultaneously showing off your scripture mastery? Latter-day Trolls have uncovered a handful of scriptures that work a lot like swears for social media purposes. #LDS exponentii.org/blog/wanna-say…

I was asked to give a #LDS talk in church about finding joy. I’ve been thinking about emotions a lot lately at work, where we’re opening a new pediatric behavioral health hospital, so I incorporated what I’ve learned at the children’s hospital. exponentii.org/blog/3-steps-t…

Unfamiliar with the hymn “Welcome Home” that the choir just sang in #LDS #GeneralConference, I looked it up. It’s a new hymn recently added to our hymnbook. I love its message! I hope our people will seek to welcome all, instead of clinging to an “us versus them” mentality.

“God is Love” is such a wonderful choice for a #GeneralConference musical number. Beautiful message that we always need to be reminded of!

President Johnson shared an image of a new sculpture of the 5 wise virgins at temple square. She said in the parable, they do not share their lamp oil, but they do share their light, an interesting twist on the old story that invites new meaning. #LDS #GeneralConference

Elder Holland related a moving story about a boy with muscular dystrophy passing the Sacrament. I’m so glad male children of all abilities are invited to participate in this sacred rite, and look forward to the day when the same is true for our girls. #LDS #GeneralConference

When #lds church leaders created @TheExponent in the 70s, they thought the text was ok but the art was subversive. But the art was pretty benign, so what was up? Margaret Olsen Hemming theorizes that the art was subversive because it was art, and art has the potential to move us.

When historian Martha Sonntag Bradley-Evans was selected to lead her university’s honor program, a detractor said, “No, not her. She’s a #Mormon housewife.” Martha says that is one of the best things about her. Be authentic, she says, if you’re a Mormon housewife, own it. #LDS

Judy Dushku compares the feminist lens to a 10-year-old walking in on their parents having sex. You’ll never see the world in the same way again! #lds

#LDS garments weren’t part of Christ’s Biblical church, but I actually found quite a few relevant Biblical passages! Most were Jesus chastising Pharisee leaders for using similar rules to complicate worship and distract from the gospel. exponentii.org/blog/7-reasons…
