2017 Mutual Theme: “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.”

This year’s theme is James 1:5–6: “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.”

Resources to support the 2017 Mutual theme for the youth of the Church are now available at youth.lds.org, including a music album, poster, art for t-shirts, and other materials.

The mutual theme will be used in camps, youth activities, firesides, Sunday lessons, Mutual opening exercises, and in For the Strength of Youth (FSY) conferences around the world.
