Summary

Sisters Bonnie H. Cordon, Michelle D. Craig, and Becky Craven of the Young Women General Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints With recent adjustments to the Young Women organization, one thing that hasn’t changed and will never change is the focus on Jesus Christ. You will love hearing from the Young Women general presidency, Sisters Bonnie Cordon, Michelle Craig, and Becky Craven, as they share about the process of receiving revelation to guide the recent changes, with insight into the revised Young Women theme and the focus on each young women's identity and purpose. Through their stories, sincerity, and openness, you’ll feel the presidency’s unity and the love they have for each other and especially for the women of the Church. As they discuss the legacy of the Young Women program and their current responsibilities, you’ll be inspired to cherish the gift of repentance and to seek the joy that comes from hearing the voice of the Lord and receiving personal revelation. “The Lord [gives us revelation] in a very normal and natural way, and we can have confidence in our life to realize the Lord is speaking to us.” – Sister Bonnie Cordon (30:30) “All of us, at times in our lives, are completely overwhelmed by our life circumstance or by what we’re asked to do, but just know that as we’re consistent in doing the small and simple things and as we’re trying to seek revelation and going through that work and that process, as we rely on Jesus Christ and His Grace that we will be made equal to those things that we’re being asked to do.” – Sister Michelle Craig (32:05) “We talk about this being a new theme, but the reality is that it is an extension of what we have been doing in the past, because we believe in living prophets, we believe that Jesus Christ is at the head of this Church, we believe that this is a living Church and that revelation reigns. … For the lives of our young women at this time, this is very relevant to them as it teaches them their identity and their purpose and their belonging.” – Sister Becky Craven (24:05) Read more about the Young Women general presidency by reading their full bios here: Bonnie Cordon https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/church/leader/bonnie-h-cordon?lang=eng Michelle Craig https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/church/leader/michelle-craig?lang=eng Becky Craven https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/church/leader/becky-craven?lang=eng Learn more about recent changes to the Young Women organization and theme here: Young Women Website https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/callings/young-women-organization Revised Young Women Theme https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/bc/content/ldsorg/content/pdf/children-and-youth/PST_PD60009546_YoungWomenTheme_Wallpapers_750x1334_FINAL.jpg?lang=eng "Beloved Daughters" Bonnie H.
