It is wonderful to be able to see the presenters as everyday people to hear of thieir real life experinces and traits what motivates them to create what they create. It shows us that we can give and create for our fellow man. I gained so much from Wendy Ulrich. I have a son that has lost his beautiful family because of pronography addition. He is how working his way back to good standing inthe chruch and to recieve the presthood again. Wendy helped we see how i can help him rise above weakness and become stronger through them and see sin and repent and rely on the Atonement. Thank your for bringing light and learning into our life.

Friday
Top-selling female LDS artist; singer; songwriter; multiple Pearl Award winner; albums include He Hears Me, Day of Praise, and most recent, If I Only Had Today
She's an important part of TOFW because she really is just one of us. Hilary is a wife and a mother first and foremost; being a brilliant performer is secondary. She's funny and witty but has depth and substance as she shares her testimony of Jesus Christ through her songs.
Former counselor in the general Relief Society presidency; author, Lighten Up and Being Enough
Chieko has a treasure box, and in her eighty-plus years she also has unique treasures of knowledge and experience. She shares her box and her wisdom in this inspiring message reminding us of the treasures life holds for all who embrace it fully.
Professional photographer; attended, Brooks Institute of Photography; creator, Reflections of Christ and Another Testament
What happens when you try to re-create the scene of the Savior appearing to the people in the Americas? As Mark spent the last year working on his latest photography project, what he saw and felt changed his life. We believe his message about this experience will help change yours.
Saturday
Singer, songwriter, and multiple time Pearl Award Winner; albums include He Gives Flowers to Everyone and Beneath These Stars
Even her other music friends agree...no one writes a lyric like Cherie Call. She has a way of talking about things in song that we all want to talk about but can't find the words for. Sharing messages important to all women, Cherie (now mother of 2!) has quickly become a TOFW favorite!
Senior editor, Deseret Book Company; mother of five; author, Confessions of an Unbalanced Woman and I Hate It When Exercise Is the Answer
Do you ever have moments when you think that the entrance to motherhood ought to have a sign proclaiming, “Abandon hope, all ye who enter here”? With her trademark combination of stories and insights, Emily Watts shows just how much there is for moms to hope for (sign not included).
Ph.D., University of Colorado; former institute instructor; recipient, Orton Literary Award; author, House of Glory, When Your Prayers Seem Unanswered, and What the Scriptures Teach Us about Raising a Child
Though some may believe hope is a gift we either have or don’t have, Michael believes hope is something we create consciously. And he has the scripture stories to back that up. You’ll discover that hope becomes the natural emotional consequence of living key gospel principles.
Ph.D.; founder, Sixteen Stones Center for Growth, LLC; former president, Association of Mormon Counselors and Psychotherapists; author, Forgiving Ourselves and Weakness Is Not Sin
Research says that 40% of our happiness is within our power to control. And much of what we learn from research coincides with what we learn from the scriptures about how to cultivate habits of happiness and hope. Learn seven proven happiness enhancers and start building your own happiness plan.
Writer; author, 21 Days Closer to Christ, The Promise of Enough, and Keepers of What Matters Most
It sounds like a great bumper sticker, doesn’t it? Did you know it’s actually a scripture in the New Testament? Based on this invitation from Peter (nearly 2,000 years ago), Emily Freeman shares a simple, but tried and true, recipe for living a more hopeful life.
