BYU–Hawaii Devotional by Charles Bradshaw | March 25, 2025

"The primary thing that strikes me about solving these problems of inharmonicity is that we need to focus first on our common testimonies of Jesus Christ as the gauge by which we determine what it means for us to 'be in tune.' If we are firm in that conviction, then it allows us to be more generous to our neighbors in their exercise of their faith, and it creates a profound sense of humility in us and helps us realize a more expansive role for Him in all of our testimonies rather than limiting Him only to our own experience. It is a sacred relationship that we rightly guard and personalize, but this can come with potential hazards if we don’t grant others the same privilege of personalizing their experience with the Savior. Once we allow ourselves to see Christ through the eyes of our fellow Saints, we get a much broader understanding of His role in our lives."
BYU–Hawaii Devotional by Sister Andrea Muñoz | February 25, 2025

"Our righteousness is a shield in this wicked world. The more righteous we are, the less powerful the enemy is. May the Lord bless you with the strength and power that comes from truly knowing who you are, and by reminding you that as His covenant daughter or son, you can call upon Him and be blessed through His power at any time and any place, in any circumstance. May He bless you to remember that fear comes from the enemy, and sometimes logical thinking leaves no room for miracles."

Devotional Talk by Trevor Wilson | May 14, 2024

"The fact is, in our covenant relationship with the Savior Jesus Christ, and God the Father, we will never bring more to the covenant than we receive in the covenant. Feeding the five thousand with five loaves and two fishes is good imagery, but even that does not compare to the blessings our Heavenly Father has in store for us when we bring what little we can to the covenant."
