“I want to help all our members overcome present or future doubts. Whatever those doubts, the way to overcome them is to get closer to our Savior Jesus Christ. Again and again, He has taught us that He is the way.” During this week’s BYU devotional, President Dallin H. Oaks shared his teachings and testimony with a capacity crowd in the Marriott Center and in other gatherings across campus, along with a global audience watching on BYUtv and other official sources. The prophet taught us to strengthen our faith, increase our humility, seek help from others, and be patient. Read a BYU News or Church News recap, watch highlights, or enjoy the full devotional address. |

As BYU celebrates its 150th anniversary, the university community has been reminded of BYU’s unique blessing of prophetic guidance and governance. Two such reminders came via presidential conversations during fall semester. In one, Presidents Dallin H. Oaks and Jeffrey R. Holland reminisced about their experiences at BYU as students, as presidents, and on the board of trustees. And later, in a special devotional, the other living presidents testified of the Lord’s hand in guiding this special university. Enjoy brief excerpts from these two conversations in the latest issue of Y Magazine online—and coming soon to your mailbox. |
