Envisioning BYU: BYU Speeches

Latest Episodes:

The Tie Between Science and Religion | Russell M. Nelson | April 2015 Jun 15, 2023

Show notes

President Russell M. Nelson, an apostle at the time that he gave these touching remarks, recounted in this talk how the gospel had “provided the under-girding foundation” for his remarkable educational journey. His journey had taught him, among other things, that “all truth is part of the everlasting gospel” and that “when the laws of God are obeyed, wanted blessings will always result, not just maybe or sometimes.” President Nelson’s sterling example reminds us that we are blessed as we become disciples in the disciplines. Indeed, the Lord expects all of His people to be consecrated covenant keepers who are following the covenant path, no matter their worldly occupation. Access his remarks here.
