“Following Christ is not a casual or occasional practice. It is a continuous commitment and way of life that should guide us at all times and in all places. His teachings and His example define the path for every disciple of Jesus Christ. And all are invited to this path, for He invites all to come unto Him.”
- President Dallin H. Oaks (Following Christ, October 2024)
Our Grounding Theme for 2026
As we move into 2026, we are invited to place renewed and intentional focus to Always Remember Him—centering our lives more fully on Jesus Christ and what it truly means to follow Him.
To Always Remember Him is more than a moment of reflection. It is a daily commitment to walk the path He marked through His teachings, His ministry, and His perfect example. Discipleship is not occasional or situational—it is a way of life that shapes how we think, serve, worship, and love.
When we always remember Him, we:
Keep Jesus Christ at the center of our decisions and priorities
Learn from His words and example
Choose to follow Him in all places and circumstances
Allow His influence to guide our actions, relationships, and homes
Walking the Path of Discipleship
The path of discipleship is walked one intentional step at a time. It is defined by consistent, Christ-centered choices that help us become more like the Savior and keep Him present in our daily lives.
Each invitation in this challenge aligns with five discipleship-focused areas:
Missionary Work — Helping others come unto Christ
Fellowship & Ministering — Loving and lifting as He would
Temple & Family History — Binding families through sacred covenants
Spiritual Habits — Creating daily patterns centered on the Savior
Strengthening Family & Youth — Establishing Christ-centered homes
Together, these areas support a balanced, intentional approach to discipleship—one that helps us always remember Jesus Christ in both simple and meaningful ways.
An Invitation — Not a Checklist. Intentionality, not perfectionism.
This challenge is not a program to complete or a checklist to finish. It is a collection of personal invitations—offered to individuals and families—to walk more deliberately along the path of discipleship.
Members are encouraged to choose actions as guided by the Spirit, focusing on small, consistent efforts that help keep the Savior at the center of daily life.
Every sincere step matters. Every intentional choice to follow Him strengthens our discipleship.
As we strive to Always Remember Him and walk the path of discipleship together, we invite the Savior’s influence more fully into our homes, our worship, and our lives.
