Covenant-keeping Latter-day Saint women, God is calling you. He’s calling you to stand up for what you believe. He’s calling you to share the joy that comes into your lives from living the gospel of Jesus Christ.
There are countless covenant keeping Latter-day Saint women who are a light on the “social media hill” and have stood upon the proverbial wall, as Samuel the Lamanite, to declare truth to a world that is becoming increasingly wicked.
The following is a list of just a few of these amazing women that are sharing joy that comes into their lives because of membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and their covenant relationship that binds them to Christ.
We are so grateful for these amazing women who take a stand in a time when it is much easier, and much more comfortable, to figuratively stay seated.

I’m not going to lie, my friends and I talk about how scary it is to be “different from the world” these days but we gotta be! Not for our own sake, but for our children. They need our guidance, our example and our testimonies. Who’s with me?

I’m Sara. I encourage Latter-day Saints to follow the prophet and stay in the church when so many are leaving. Follow along with me.
Recently Shared Words of Wisdom:
I have a confession. I don’t like the phrase “My Jesus ____ (Fill in the blank). I get why people use it. It evokes a feeling of closeness with our Savior.
But Jesus is the same for everyone. He isn’t one way to some people and another way to other people. And the problem is when people use that phrase to make Him into whoever they want him to be — someone who will always validate their own desires, beliefs and wishes >> for example, “My Jesus doesn’t care that I don’t go to church on Sunday.”
Or, it is used as an excuse to disregard words from the Prophet or apostles if we find them offensive >> “My Jesus would never say such hurtful things.”
Jesus is immensely loving, kind, compassionate, merciful and understanding. But He also expects everyone to follow his commandments. Rather than declaring who we think “our” Jesus is, I think we should get to know our Savior for who he actually is.

Want to get smarter? Follow the prophet. He can see around corners. He will help you see thing you cannot see. This talk by Sheri Dew is OUTSTANDING and SO timely!(As her talks ALWAYS are!)
My favorite quote: “Sustaining prophets in today’s world takes faith. But not faith in them; faith in Jesus Christ who called them.” All the Amens!!
If we believe prophet are called of God, we must also have faith that He knows them perfectly and has absolute trust in them (even though they are not perfect).

It’s our responsibility to discern the impact influencers are having on us. Leave the personal, spiritual questions to scriptures and prayer.

Recently Shared Words of Wisdom:
“Every woman and every man who makes covenants with God and keeps those covenants, and who participates worthily in priesthood ordinances, has direct access to the power of God. Those who are endowed in the house of the Lord receive a gift of God’s priesthood power by virtue of their covenant, along with a gift of knowledge to know how to draw upon that power.” -President Russell M. Nelson, “Spiritual Treasures” General Conference 2019.

“The motivation for raising the warning voice is love—love of God and love of fellowman. To warn is to care. The Lord instructs that it is to be done “in mildness and in meekness” and “by persuasion, by long-suffering, by gentleness … , and by love unfeigned.” Elder Christofferson

I feel blessed to never have felt “less than” in The church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I know many women struggle with this, and I have compassion for them. It’s a real thing and a challenge for many.
For me, my confidence has always come through Him. I know who I am, because I’ve fought to find her. I don’t allow others opinions or thoughts about me (or women) determine my worth. He is the only one I seek approval from.

Christ > Culture ➡️ Intentional Discipleship
Recently Shared Words of Wisdom:
People would probably agree that in most situations, it is fairly easy to determine if something is right or wrong. The difficulty comes when we need to determine if something is truly right or close to right. Close to right is off just enough that it can take us in a direction that will slowly move us away from God’s pure truth.
Luckily we do not have to sift through truths on our own. Discernment is understanding or knowing something through the power of the spirit. Let the spirit guide while trying to determine truths.

“Messages from our Heavenly Father are strikingly different. He communicates simply, quietly, and with such stunning plainness that we cannot misunderstand Him.” Russell M Nelson
He loves you!! That’s the most important reassurance you need! Don’t let it be diluted by loud, boastful messages of the world.
The Role of Righteous Women
“Much of the major growth that is coming to the Church in the last days will come because many of the good women of the world (in whom there is often such an inner sense of spirituality) will be drawn to the Church in large numbers. This will happen to the degree that the women of the Church reflect righteousness and articulateness in their lives and to the degree that the women of the Church are seen as distinct and different—in happy ways—from the women of the world.
Among the real heroines in the world who will come into the Church are women who are more concerned with being righteous than with being selfish. These real heroines have true humility, which places a higher value on integrity than on visibility. Remember, it is as wrong to do things just to be seen of women as it is to do things to be seen of men. Great women and men are always more anxious to serve than to have dominion.
Thus it will be that female exemplars of the Church will be a significant force in both the numerical and the spiritual growth of the Church in the last days.” – Spencer W. Kimball
Valiant Conference
Here’s an incredible update! These nine women that we highlighted have joined together to organize Valiant Conference – A gathering of Latter-day Saint women who confidently stand with Christ.
Gather with women who love their Savior and who want to become more confident in standing with Christ. Know that you are not alone in your beliefs and that there are others standing by you. In this conference, we hope to strengthen one another by learning more about faith, truth, covenants and more. We are determined to follow Christ in these latter days.
Stand valiantly with us.

You never include women of color, I believe that there's women of color all over the world that are members of the church but you never include women of color.

Love that they are light! It is hard and heart breaking to see so many confused by the popular philosophies of the day. Ive lived long enough to see how the trends of what is popular come and go. It seems our young generation thinks they are the first ones to have been enlightened and liberated only to discover the heart break they have bought into. Thank you for being so strong and a voice for what is good and right and true.
