Unnamed Women of the Book of Mormon: Artistic Depictions of Women May 01, 2024

Art forms an impression on our minds. When we visualize scripture stories, it’s often in the style we’ve seen before through art. It’s easy to picture Nephi’s family on the boat, Moroni praying over the plates, Abinadi before King Noah, and more. But can you picture the women from the Book of Mormon? There’s art for them, too.

Unnamed Women in the Book of Mormon: Sariah and her Daughters Feb 23, 2024

The scriptures are filled with stories of women once you start looking for them. In conjunction with our weekly Come, Follow Me podcast, this bonus series will explore accounts of women throughout the standard works, focusing on the Book of Mormon this year. Did you know that the only time the word “sisters” is mentioned in the Book of Mormon is when it refers to Nephi’s sisters? Today, we’ll talk about the sacrifices and faith of the women—named and unnamed—of the first family in the Book of Mormon and what we can learn from their examples.

Unnamed Women of the New Testament: Tabitha and the Widows of Joppa Nov 30, 2023

Mother Teresa said, “Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.” Today’s story is about Tabitha, a woman who took Paul’s charge in Acts 6 seriously and served widows who were neglected and marginalized. In this episode, we get to reflect on her story and discover how we, in our own way, can care for those who are unnamed, unwanted, unloved, uncared for, and forgotten.

Unnamed Women of the New Testament: The Widow of Nain Jul 27, 2023

Many of Christ's miracles in the New Testament have one special word accompanying them—compassion. It is one of those enduring Christlike attributes that conveys full and deep emotions and love for those around us. When He comes across the unnamed widow from Nain He immediately has compassion on her. And wouldn't we all love to stand in the compassion of Christ each day?

Unnamed Women of the New Testament: The Syrophoenician Woman May 25, 2023

Being offended is a universal experience, but how we react is a very individual matter. In this episode of Sunday on Monday’s bonus series, Unnamed Women in the New Testament, we dive into the story of the Syrophoenician woman. She had every reason to be offended and lash out but instead responded with remarkable humility. Let’s study her example in Matthew 15 and Mark 7 and see if we can’t bring a little more humility—and thereby a little more peace—to our lives.

Unnamed Women of the New Testament: Certain Women Mar 30, 2023

Linda K. Burton, then Relief Society General President, shared the following quote from Daughters in My Kingdom during general conference: “The New Testament includes accounts of [certain] women, named and unnamed, who exercised faith in Jesus Christ [and in His Atonement], learned and lived His teachings, and testified of His ministry, miracles, and majesty. These women became exemplary disciples and important witnesses in the work of salvation.” In this special episode, we discuss the certain women mentioned in Luke 8:2–3 and how they were certain in their testimonies of Christ and in their ministering to Christ.

Unnamed Women of the New Testament: Mothers in Christ's Lineage Jan 26, 2023

The Bible is full of stories about women—sometimes you just need to know where to look. In fact, both named and unnamed women are in the opening verses of the New Testament. This year during our Come, Follow Me study, we'll take time to focus on the stories of these women—stories that aren’t often told. As we discuss their lives and learn from their examples, we'll see just how important women are in the gospel of Jesus Christ both then and now. So let's start our discussion with the book of Matthew and the women who were a part of the lineage of Jesus Christ.

Unnamed Women of the Old Testament: Queen of Sheba Aug 16, 2022

Have you ever heard someone sarcastically say, “Who do they think they are, the Queen of Sheba?” Although this question is usually used to poke fun of those who flaunt their wealth, after listening to this Unnamed Women episode, you may think of it as a compliment instead. Because while the real Queen of Sheba was indeed wealthy, she was also wise—and in 1 Kings 10:1–13, we learn that her might and wisdom may have also contributed to the grandeur of the Israelite temple.

Sunday on Monday Lesson 31: "Thou Art Come … for Such a Time as This" (Esther) Jul 22, 2022

Here’s a fun fact: did you know that the name Esther means star in Persian? And when you consider Esther’s story in the Old Testament, there’s obviously no coincidence that one of the greatest biblical heroines was given that name. In fact, as we study this incredible book of scripture this week, we’re going to see how brightly Esther shined in the midst of terrible adversity. Not only was she incredibly brave even when faced with death, but she also had an enduring faith in Jesus Christ that ultimately led to the salvation of an entire nation.

Unnamed Women of the Old Testament: Lemuel’s Mother May 26, 2022

The proverb of a virtuous woman is a famous one, but the woman who sang it—and the woman who it's about—are unnamed. But while we may not know exactly who these women are, they teach us unforgettable lessons of what it means to be truly virtuous. In this special live recording, we'll dig into the profound impact these women have had in our lives by teaching us through their words and examples what it really means to be a virtuous woman today.

Bonus: Race and Priesthood in the Old Testament Apr 08, 2022

You may have heard the profound quote by Lorenzo Snow, “As man now is, God once was: As God now is, man may be." But you may not have heard BYU professor Dr. Marcus Martins’s thoughts that then “God ... could very well be like me.” Martins believes that “if [God] lived on an earth like ours with the same plan of happiness, then it might not be so far from [the] truth to say that [He] could be Asian, Pacific Islander, African, Hispanic, Māori, or American. We really don’t know, but it is worth considering.” In this special bonus episode of Sunday on Monday, we’ll discover how all have been truly alike unto God since the very beginning, and how race and the priesthood relate to the Old Testament.

Unnamed Women of the Old Testament: The Weavers Mar 17, 2022

Building the tabernacle described in the Old Testament was no easy feat. We read about all those cubits and how there were specifications about everything. Even the people who helped had to be “wise hearted” and willing to give only the best of the best. In this episode of Unnamed Women of the Old Testament, we will tell the stories of the weavers—women who lent their hands and wise hearts to create the veils and priestly garments for the first tabernacle. We’ll also learn how their vital, sacred contributions were echoed by the women who helped build the Nauvoo and Kirtland temples in the latter days.

Unnamed Women of the Old Testament: Pharaoh’s Daughter Jan 20, 2022

You may think you know all about Moses. He was, after all, the prophet who led the captive Israelites out of Egypt. But what do you know about the woman who made that all possible? In this episode of Unnamed Women of the Old Testament, we will talk about the woman who drew Moses out the river and changed the course of history: Pharaoh’s daughter. And we can’t talk about her without mentioning the other women in Moses’ life who helped save him at one point or another. So grab your scriptures, and let’s dig into the story of Pharaoh’s daughter and the women in Moses’ life.

Bonus: What's Real and What's in Rumor in Your Family History Jan 20, 2022

Throughout your study of the Doctrine and Covenants this year, you may have noticed the Lord often commands the Saints to keep a record. We know that studying records from the past is important, but we also know that details have a tendency to sometimes get a little muddled through time and retelling. For example, how can you know if that story that's been passed down for generations about your great-great-grandfather or long-lost cousin is true?

In this bonus episode of Sunday on Monday, Keith Erekson, Church History Library Director and author of Real vs. Rumor, shares how to determine if family history stories are real or just rumor, and why it matters that we keep an accurate record for future generations.

Bonus Episode: Temple Symbols and Their Meanings with Donald Parry Jan 20, 2022

Right about now, we're probably all missing the temple. Never before has the need for the instant peace that comes from stepping into these sacred spaces been more keenly felt by so many members. But we can do more during this time than eagerly await the day when we can finally return to full temple worship. In this week’s bonus episode, we invite religious scholar Donald W. Parry to help us dig into the meaning behind temple symbols so that we can be ready to enter the Lord’s house with a new perspective and greater understanding.
