“Ears to Hear”

Let us tune out the noise and focus on God. Find quiet time each day where you can turn to your Heavenly Father and pour out your soul to Him. And then listen, really listen with ears to hear what heaven wants to tell you.

The Lord’s Measures

May we hold up the Savior’s light. May we exalt His holy name. May we embrace His measures as our own. May we—through His merits, mercy, and grace; by His good counsel and in His good time—become the great and fully anointed university of the Lord.

Becoming BYU in an Age of Artificial Intelligence

Covenant community and covenant belonging bless our students to believe, belong, and become. Who you are—and the disciple of Jesus Christ you are becoming—guide and inspire us all to become BYU.

Pure Hearts, Firm Minds

We are asked to consecrate our pure hearts and our firm minds to building this, the Lord’s university “in the Lord’s way.” And our firm minds must be in this work.

Peace and Rest—Even Now

A truth I hope will sink deeply into your soul is that your best is certainly good enough, that you are loved more than you can imagine, and that it isn’t your achievements that define you, far less that determine anything about your worth or how you are seen by your Father in Heaven and His Son.
