🌿2026 Youth Theme:
“Walk With Me”
“Behold my Spirit is upon you, wherefore all thy words will I justify; and the mountains shall flee before you, and the rivers shall turn from their course; and thou shalt abide in me, and I in you; therefore Walk With Me.” —Moses 6:34
To walk with the Savior Jesus Christ is more than an invitation to believe — it’s a call to rise up! To take up your cross! To join Him in the great gathering of Israel and truly walk beside Him. When we walk with the Savior, His Spirit strengthens us, His power justifies us, and His presence abides in us!
Do you understand Moses 6:34?
These words were spoken to Enoch — a young man just like you who felt inadequate in his calling. The Lord didn’t just command him to act; He promised partnership! “...thou shalt abide in me, and I in you.”
The 2026 theme is about divine companionship — walking with Christ so completely that we truly receive His image in our countenance and His power becomes part of who we are and everything that we do!
What does it mean to walk with the Jesus Christ?
Partnership, not perfectionThe Lord doesn’t wait for you to be perfect before walking with you. He meets you where you are, and gently encourages you to make small steps to follow Him every day.We can have His spirit to be with usWhen we walk with Christ, He changes us! His spirit is with us — not just on Sunday, but through every decision, every moment, and every trial that we face.TransformationMountains of doubt and fear “flee before you” when His Spirit is with you! Walking with Him transforms how we view ourselves and gives us confidence in who we are and where we are going!
⚙️ How to Activate the Theme
🙏 Walk with Him in PrayerBegin and end each day with a short prayer that invites the Savior to walk with you. When you speak to Father in Heaven, speak naturally. Just be yourself! Humbly invite Him into every part of your life and then get up and trust that He will answer!📖 Walk with Him in ScriptureStudy the lives of those who walked with God — Enoch, Noah, Nephi, Alma and Moroni. Really think about how they “walked”. As you study and ponder, commit yourself to follow their examples every day!🕊 Walk with Him in WorthinessRemember that repentance is a blessing, not a punishment! Repent with joy and gratitude every day and then continue making the effort to live so His Spirit can abide with you — that’s what makes walking with Him possible!💬 Walk with Him in CourageWhen the Spirit prompts you to speak, act, or stand up, don’t hesitate...ACT! The same Spirit that empowered Enoch can strengthen you!💪 Walk with Him in ServiceSeek earnestly to help those who are struggling. Each day, look for opportunities to lift someone around you. As you do, you will be walking in Christ’s place beside them!
For Leaders and Parents
How can you help the youth to implement the theme all year long? Here are some suggestions...
📖 Begin each quorum or class with a short “Walk With Me Moment.”A brief scripture, story, or testimony that helps everyone refocus on what it means to follow the Savior.💬 Encourage testimonies or experiences of walking with God.Invite youth to share simple, real moments in their lives when they followed a prompting to act.🏕️ Tie camps, devotionals, and firesides to the theme.Make sure that every major event reinforces what it means to walk with the Savior.🎁 Create visual remindersPutting up posters, creating a “Walk With Me” bookmark, a "Follow Him" note in their lunchbox or a quick text can help remind our youth each day to follow Him!
When the Savior says, “Walk with me,” we can trust that no matter what we face, He will never ask us to face it alone! This year, let’s walk forward in faith, shoulder to shoulder with the Savior of the world!
