This Month’s Theme: Focusing Your Life on Jesus Christ

Merry Christmas, friends!

As a young single adult, my life is full of intense decisions and experiences. I expect that you—our dear readers—may be in similar situations.

Early adulthood can feature a host of major life events: moving out of your family home, learning how to manage finances, pursuing education, dating, entering the workforce, establishing a healthy marriage, becoming a parent, and so much more.

Luckily, we’ve recently received a lot of prophetic counsel that can help us manage our expectations and to-do lists when life gets overwhelming. Elder Ronald A. Rasband of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles shared a message that truly reframed how I balance my life: “Whatever is on your to-do list, give equal time, not spare time, to the Lord.”

This Christmas season, we wanted to remind you of the profound love and awareness that the Savior has for you. We created this issue of YA Weekly to help you center your life on the Savior. When you focus on Him, you will feel His love and guidance as you navigate young adulthood.

Here are some of the articles you can expect from young adults around the world this month:

We also have stories that are part of our ongoing series:

Remember, the Christmas season is about more than just the miracle of Christ’s birth—it’s also about the miracle of His life and light, which we can all invite into our own lives every day of the year.

With love,
