Foundational Doctrine for a Modern Wilderness

This is our digital chapel foyer, a space focused on the foundational doctrines of faith, priesthood power, and the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. We approach these holy principles with deep reverence, while occasionally connecting sacred truths to everyday cultural touchpoints and extracting eternal lessons from modern life.

Faith Is Not About Having All The Answers

June 21, 2026 Larry Gaian 0
Sacrament meeting talks are often packed with simple, powerful gospel truths. Every so often, the Spirit takes one phrase and presses it gently into your heart—like it was meant just for you. That happened to me today with the sentence this post begins with. — Larry Faith is not about having all the answers. It is trusting that the Savior […]

Pitching Our Tents: Why “Tents” Matter So Much in the Book of Mormon

June 21, 2026 Larry Gaian 0
Tents show up all over the Book of Mormon, and not just because ancient people liked camping. In the record, tents quietly become a symbol of what discipleship often feels like: traveling, gathering, worshipping, enduring, and waiting on the Lord—without always having a settled, permanent “home” yet. Tents, Tents and More Tents Camp life appears throughout the Book of Mormon, […]

Mosiah 18 and Ground Hog Day: Teaching A Gospel Lesson

June 8, 2026 Larry Gaian 0
At first glance, Mosiah 18 and the 1993 movie Groundhog Day with Bill Murray seem to have nothing in common. One is about making covenants at the Waters of Mormon, and the other is a comedy about a man who keeps reliving the same day. But both actually teach valuable gospel lessons about repentance, becoming a new person, and learning […]

The Significance of Covenant in Baptism and The Sacrament

June 7, 2026 Larry Gaian 0
Covenants are among the most hopeful and practical parts of the restored gospel—especially the promises we make at baptism and renew week after week through the sacrament. When we talk about covenants more openly and naturally, discipleship feels less like a one-time event and more like a steady, joyful way of walking with Jesus Christ. When someone is baptized, church […]

Walk Into The Light Not Just Out of The Darkness

June 1, 2026 Larry Gaian 0
While watching “Jack Ryan: Ghost War”, the character James Greer uttered a phrase that really resonated with me: “Walking away from the darkness isn’t the same thing as walking into the light.” It’s a clear reminder that just avoiding what’s wrong isn’t the same as choosing what’s right. This idea connects with the restored gospel. God’s plan isn’t only about […]

Baby Steps And The Plan of Salvation

May 31, 2026 Larry Gaian 0
In the 1991 movie What About Bob?, Bob Wiley (Bill Murray) is a bundle of fears, phobias, and neediness. He clings to his therapist, Dr. Leo Marvin (Richard Dreyfuss), hoping someone else can steady his life. It’s a comedy—but tucked inside the jokes is a pretty gospel-friendly truth: real change usually comes through small, baby steps, especially when you keep moving […]

Christlike Love Is Key To Ministering

May 30, 2026 Larry Gaian 0
I used to think about the priesthood mostly in terms of doing: performing ordinances, fulfilling assignments, and making sure the ward ran smoothly. And I still believe this strongly—ordinances and priesthood blessings are sacred, essential, and established by the Lord. But over time, I’ve realized there’s a real risk for me: I can start treating priesthood service like administration without […]
