1. Brigham Young | Every Little Thing Gonna Be Alright

Brigham Young | Every Little Thing Gonna Be Alright LDS t-shirt from Weak Things

Brigham Young led thousands of Saints across 1,300 miles of prairie, mountains and mud. If anyone earned the right to hum "every little thing gonna be alright," it is him. This bold reggae-colored portrait is our number one seller, and it is the shirt people stop you in the foyer to ask about.

Wear it on moving day, at trek, or any time the handcart of life loses a wheel.

2. Brighamio | Salsa Picante

Brighamio | Salsa Picante LDS t-shirt from Weak Things

Finally, a hot sauce worthy of the Great Basin. Brighamio Salsa Picante is our parody of a famous hot-sauce label, starring a sombrero-wearing pioneer prophet. Our official theory: Brigham crossed the plains looking for something hot enough to put on everything.

Perfect for ward taco night, missionaries home from Mexico and anyone who puts salsa on their funeral potatoes.

3. More Life Less Fear | Faith Gives You Somewhere To Go

More Life Less Fear | Faith Gives You Somewhere To Go LDS t-shirt from Weak Things

The quiet favorite. Soft script, a single flower and a message that does a lot of heavy lifting: faith gives you somewhere to go. It is built on Paul's reminder that "God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind" (2 Timothy 1:7).

A great gift for a friend going through a hard season, a new convert or a missionary mom.

4. Captain Moroni | The Title of Liberty

Captain Moroni | The Title of Liberty LDS t-shirt from Weak Things

Captain Moroni tore his coat and wrote on it, "In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children" (Alma 46:12). We put a distressed Title of Liberty flag on the back and a small one on the front, for the quiet patriot who does not need to shout.

Fourth of July, Pioneer Day, Stripling Warrior youth conference: this one fits them all.

5. Jonah | Jonah's Whale Tours

Jonah | Jonah's Whale Tours LDS t-shirt from Weak Things

Three days and three nights, all-inclusive, no refunds. Jonah's Whale Tours advertises the most famous detour in scripture (Jonah 1–2). The joke lands, and so does the lesson: the fish was not just a punishment. It was a rescue and a second chance.

Ideal for anyone who has ever run the other way from a calling and come back around.

6. Thomas S. Monson | If You're Happy and You Know It

Thomas S. Monson | If You're Happy and You Know It LDS t-shirt from Weak Things

"If you're happy and you know it, your face will surely show it." President Thomas S. Monson deadlifting with a grin is the gym shirt you did not know you needed. It is also a tribute to a prophet who made people feel seen, one visit and one story at a time.

Wear it to the gym, to youth basketball, or anywhere a little joy is overdue.

7. Dieter F. Uchtdorf | Lift Where You Stand

Dieter F. Uchtdorf | Lift Where You Stand LDS t-shirt from Weak Things

In October 2008, President Dieter F. Uchtdorf taught that every one of us has a place to lift. We took that literally. Here he is in a suit, holding a loaded barbell under giant retro letters. It is a conversation starter, a service-project uniform and a solid reminder all in one.

Made for elders quorum moving day, service projects and anyone who has ever carried a piano up two flights of stairs.

8. The Pirate | Who's On The Lord's Side, Who?

The Pirate | Who's On The Lord's Side, Who? LDS t-shirt from Weak Things

Arrr, who's on the Lord's side? Who? A muscle-bound pirate in a sharp suit, tricorn hat and eye patch asks the question from the hymn. It is a favorite for Young Men activities, and it comes with matching gear for the full captain look.

Complete the outfit with the Pirate tie and Pirate socks.

9. Weak Things Become Strong | T-Rex

Weak Things Become Strong | T-Rex LDS t-shirt from Weak Things

Tiny arms. Big promise. Our T-Rex flexes like it just finished leg day, under the words of Ether 12:27: "then will I make weak things become strong unto them." It is a retro movie-poster joke wrapped around the verse our whole store is named after.

Also available as a T-Rex tie and T-Rex socks.

10. Green Jello & Whey Corp.

Green Jello & Whey Corp. LDS t-shirt from Weak Things

What is in the green Jello today? Green Jello & Whey Corp. turns the most legendary dish at every ward potluck into a very official-looking nutrition conglomerate. Because apparently even Jello needs protein.

Building Zion, one wobbly serving at a time.
