We all have moments where we need a little boost of faith. It’s that feeling of hope, that inner strength that helps us keep going. I’ve found some of the most inspiring messages on faith within talks given by leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. These aren’t just for church members; they’re for anyone searching for a deeper sense of belief and resilience. I’ve picked 10 that have really spoken to me, and I hope they’ll offer you a spark of encouragement too.

  1. “Lord, I Believe” – Elder Jeffery R Holland.  The reason I love this talk is because it centers on the idea that it’s okay to have doubts while still maintaining faith, and to hold onto the faith that you DO have not the faith you do not yet have.

2.  “Just Keep going- with faith” – Elder Carl B Cook  I love this talk because Elder Cook’s message is a call to action, urging us to persevere with faith, trust in God, and find strength in the small and simple things.

3. “Faith is not by chance, but by choice” – Elder Neil L Andersen I love this one because he teaches that by making consistent choices aligned with our beliefs, we can build a foundation of enduring faith that sustains us through life’s challenges.

4. “Live by faith, not by fear” – Elder Quentin L Cook In this talk he spaks of overcoming the anxieties and fears that can hinder our spiritual progress. He emphasizes that by placing our trust in Jesus Christ and His promises, we can replace fear with faith, allowing us to move forward with courage and confidence.

5. “The Faith to ask, then to act” – Elder Henry B Eyring  in this talk he teaches that true faith involves both seeking divine guidance through prayer and then actively acting upon the promptings received. He stresses that faith is a dynamic process, requiring us to not only ask for direction but also to courageously follow through with the actions God inspires.

6. “Christ is risen; Faith in him will move mountains” – President Russell M Nelson I love this talk by the prophet because he powerfully links the reality of Jesus Christ’s resurrection to the potential for overcoming life’s seemingly insurmountable challenges.He emphasizes that by placing unwavering faith in Jesus Christ, we can access divine power to move the “mountains” of our lives, finding hope and strength through His atoning sacrifice.
 7. “Follow Jesus Christ with footsteps of faith” – Elder Russell M Ballard i like this talk because he encourages listeners to take deliberate “footsteps of faith” by making choices that align with Christ’s teachings, thereby strengthening their connection with Him and progressing along the path of discipleship.
8. “Cast not away therefore your confidence” Elder Jeffery R Holland This one is a bit longer, but it is so worth your time. This talk is a powerful message about maintaining hope and courage during trials. He emphasizes that even when faced with significant adversity, we must not abandon our faith or lose confidence in God’s promises. He encourages listeners to remember past spiritual experiences and to trust that divine help will be provided, urging them to persevere with unwavering hope.
9. “Stand forever” – Lawrence E Corbridge I love this one because it addresses the crucial importance of establishing a firm foundation of truth in a world of conflicting ideas and information. He emphasizes the need to understand and rely on core doctrines and principles, urging listeners to build their lives on a solid spiritual bedrock that will enable them to “stand forever” against the challenges of our time.
10. “The Faith to move mountains” – President Gordon B Hinckley this talk is a message emphasizing the power of faith combined with action. He teaches that while faith is essential, it must be coupled with hard work, determination, and a willingness to act upon divine promptings. He encourages listeners to overcome obstacles by both believing in God’s power and diligently working toward their goals, reminding them that with this combination, seemingly impossible “mountains” can be moved.
Listening to these talks felt like finding little pockets of light in a sometimes dark world. They reminded me that faith isn’t about having all the answers, but about holding onto hope, even when things get tough. I hope these messages bring you a bit of that same peace and strength, wherever you are on your journey.
