From the symbols in Lehi's dream, we learn that sometimes we must stand alone in faith and Godly truth, even when it is not cool or popular.

The fact that people like this - equal to any general Church leader past or present - exist in so many of the quiet corners of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is why we will become what we are prophesied to become. From libraries to lecturns, every one of us can lift where we stand and do so like God Himself because of His grace.
Beautifully said! Thank you for your comment.
Amen.
What an amazing speech! Listening to this message makes me want to spend more time in the library!
Wowww...such a great one!!
Hallelujah Brother Anderson! I love it! We cannot serve God and mammon. Becoming the BYU it is destined to be is contingent upon our collective rejection of the mocking of the world--a world who lacks eternal perspective and cannot see afar off--and embracing wholeheartedly the Savior and His restored church. May we all--all members of the Church who have or have not attended BYU--be fully converted to the restored gospel of Jesus Christ and stand for and with BYU in its divine mission. Let's become who we need to become and teach who we are. And may we never--even in the smallest ways--sell our spiritual birthrights for a mess of temporal pottage (the gain and glory of the world). Thank you for being clear, concise, and bold!
This was soooo good!!!
He WAS gripping!! I would love to hear more from this dear brother. ❤ I endorse all that he has shared.
What a remarkably awesome address rich in faith and power! Thank you so much.
Vibrant, straightforward, captivating.
An excellent presentation. I really learned a lot.
There are SO many takeaways from this well prepared and stunningly presented talk.
I am blessed to have heard it.
Not gonna lie, this is one of the best talks I ever heard in a modern typical byu devotional. Truly exceptional.
Wow! That was solid and quite courageous.
Wow, that was powerful and clear!
Love this presentation on several levels: (1) the Book of Mormon is divine scripture, (2) the heavens are not closed, (3) condemn the things of God at your own peril, (4) none are excluded from His atoning reach/none are cast off forever.
Reminds me of a quote from Joseph Smith: “…does it remain for a people who never had faith enough to call down one scrap of revelation from heaven…to say how much God has spoken…and not spoken…”
The Restoration is simultaneously simple, and complex; It is miraculous, it is marvelous, it is true. It’s up to us imperfect, faithful saints to live it as true disciples.
Long live the Librarians of this church!
Clear, artful, deep, wallopingly spiritual! Wow! (He has the words. I do not.) I’ll be listening to this on repeat. It’s too richly packed for me to get it in one take. So many seemingly simplistic themes yet so worthy of a deep dive!
Absolutely phenomenal talk. Sharing it with friends and family!! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing!!
Wow! Epic devotional!
This is INCREDIBLE!!! It is indeed gripping.
Wow. I wish i could give this talk thousands of likes.❤
Amazing
Whoa! So good.
What a brilliant and insightful talk! I'm going to rewind and listen again. I need to write some of this down to ponder. And super sweet and self revealing in his laughing at himself. So very glad I watched this today!❤❤❤
Thank you. It is a great reminder of the answers to the what, where, when, how, why, who life's questions, offered by the restored Gospel.
It was gripping! What a great message!
What an amazing talk!! The truths peirce my soul. Thank you!
Wonderful. The presence of the Tree of Light in the Book of Mormon is a testament to its validity as an ancient document. It is the binary moment.
I watched it twice!
On par with Elder Corbridge's, "Stand Forever."
Thank you! This was an amazing talk and it says something about BYU that we have been so inspired and spiritual fed by more than the religion faculty. I already shared this as I listened. It is SO good! Thank you!
God Definitely used you and your life experiences for this amazing talk. May God bless you and your family abundantly! thank you so much
Excellent speech!
A timely and much needed message! Well done!
Great speech, Brother Anderson! I still think you’re cool. - Elder Townsend
What a testimony! Loved his clarity.
So full of powerful and spiritual words! I had to listen a second time in slower speed just to absorb more - yet maybe even need a third time 😅
epic - calling out the religion of academia
A gifted speaker and presenter
“Cool ironic discipleship is not a thing”. I love that so much.
Brother Anderson bears a powerful witness of Truth. Thank you!
Hail to the librarian! Unreal clarity of truth - principles and doctrine here. Thank you so much!
Wonderful❤️
Homeboy killed it. I jotted down so many snippets from this!
Eu vou ficar estudando tudo aqui
Eu pude sentir a sua emoção e refletir.
Muito obrigado!
Já imaginou se pudéssemos voltar na época dos Templos do livro de Mórmon?!
Acho que as mulheres dos incas podiam ter recebido bem mais atenção como recebem hoje. Eles não cairiam. Por isso
vamos celebrar!
O Livro de Mórmon é verdadeiro!
Jesus Cristo vive!
Somos filhos do Pai Celestial lindo e amoroso!
I’ve never heard anything quite like it
Wow! Amen & amen hermano. SO GOOD!
I love his pure testimony and love of gospel truths!
Thank you for your testimony and your insights. You are now on many folks radar.
Love this.
