Identity

In a world where gender roles and identities are often questioned, confused, or even dismantled, it has never been more important for men to understand, cherish, and step boldly into their divine masculinity. As disciples of Jesus Christ, embracing the sacred roles and responsibilities of manhood—especially through the Priesthood—builds a firm foundation not only for individual growth but for marriages, families, communities, and ultimately, building Zion itself.

Motherhood is a sacred calling—often exhausting, always transformative. But in the depths of diapers, dishes, and daily demands, many women feel that they lose a part of themselves. To combat this, we resort to what the world tells us gives us purpose, whether that be aggressive fitness routines to ‘get our body back, ’ climbing the career ladder to be a ‘supermom who has it all,’ or other worldly labels. But one thing that we often miss is the need to reconnect with our femininity.

Feminine and masculine energy each carry unique strengths that, when embraced in harmony, help us find a deeper sense of balance within ourselves and in our relationships.

In the temple, we are reminded of the story of Adam and Eve—not just as historical figures, but as symbolic types of ourselves. Their story is a pattern that teaches us eternal truths. In ‘Consider Yourself as Eve’, Meghan writes, “Adam and Eve are [also] representative shadows of Father and Mother, two halves of a whole, one masculine and one feminine.
