The real lives of women of faith—new research on what it really means to believe

Описание: A recent study by the Pew Research Center shared statistics that Latter-day Saint women are top of the charts when it comes to experiencing "a deep sense of spiritual peace and well-being on a weekly basis." We also report the "highest rate of being very happy." To someone only paying attention to what media and popular culture might say, these statistics might be surprising. But we know why these numbers ring true: we live our faith daily and it really does bring us greater peace and happiness.


Dr. Jenet Erickson, a fellow of the Wheatley Institute and a professor in the School of Family Life at Brigham Young University, recently dove into these findings and is here to share what she learned. The real stories of Latter-day Saint women are ones of peace, power, and strength that shine brighter than any viral trend. We are women of conviction who love and serve God and each other with all of our hearts.
