In a recent interview with the prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, President Oaks, he talked about his Ins and Outs of 2026 and his hopes for the new year. “I hope that the faithful members of our church will ponder this list, and seek revelation on how they can apply these things to their own lives,” he remarked.
His 2026 list is as follows:
In:
- Godly smiting
- Typewriters
- Singing the new hymns
- Soft launching new temples
- Preparing for the second coming
- Journaling
- Wheat Thins
- Martinelli’s
- Little Women (2019)
- Calling your mom
Out:
- Breaking the Law of Chastity
- Texting during church
- Angel Moroni temple toppers
- Foolish virgins
- Toupées
- Global warming
- Shirking
- Afternoon Session General Conference nap
- Going to college before your mission
- Ozempic
President Oaks has great expectations for this coming year, and reminds members of the late President Nelson’s promise that “The best is yet to come … because the Savior is coming again.” President Oaks affirms that preparation for the second coming is essential in the coming years and is especially mindful of the youth of the church. “We’re printing these Ins and Outs on the back of the For the Strength of Youth pamphlets as guiding principles for the next generation,” he said.
We’re still awaiting the Ins and Outs of the First Presidency and members of the Quorum of the Twelve, but we expect them to be a guiding star for the new year.
