As part of Education Week at Brigham Young University, Elder David A. Bednar will be speaking in a talk that will be broadcast. The topic he will address is the Church and social media and how members of the Church can best use social media.

Watch it live on the Mormon Channel.

Watch it live on BYUtv.

 

Elder Bednar’s talk “Things as they Really Are” is a good talk to review before listening to his BYU Education Week talk. (Suggested on Elder Bednar’s Twitter account: https://twitter.com/BednarDavidA)

Here is a Mormon Message created from that talk.

Have you ever struggled, wondering why your prayers may seem unanswered? Why blessings you desire are not coming as you would hope? Why things are so hard? Wondering how to discern answers to prayer?

At a time when I was struggling with questions like this, my visiting teacher shared this talk with me. Given by S. Michael Wilcox, the address was in itself an answer to prayers in my heart, something that had a significant effect on me. I hope it might be helpful to someone else.

You can find nearly three hundred talks from past Education Week events (in various formats, including audio, video, and some transcripts) here at byutv.org.

See some summary stories from this week’s gathering linked below:

Valuing Gender Differences — Read some great thoughts from Carrie Wrigley on the importance of understanding and appreciating the differences between men and women.

How are we saved?— Ted M. Bair discussed different beliefs about grace and salvation, including the Mormon view of grace and works.

Another presentation on grace was given by Eric D. Huntsman.

“Discovering great truths and people from around the world” — While the previous two presentations addressed some of the ways the LDS faith may differ from some other religions, S. Michael Wilcox shared thoughts on similar threads of truth found in various religions, and how we can benefit from learning from others’ beliefs.

Psychologist Dr. Rick D. Hawks spoke about the challenge of addiction, addressing three stages of addiction and the importance of getting past just the stage of abstinence. “”We can get your body off [addictive substances] in two or three days. That’s easy….But [that alone isn’t a cure], because the spirit and mind become addicted, too.”

Nephi, Mary, and Sacred Tree Symbols: Daniel C. Peterson, a professor of Islamic studies and Arabic, discussed the ancient diety figure Asherah, as it relates to the symbolism of the tree of life as found in the Book of Mormon.
