This chapter explores leadership through a biblical perspective, underscoring that every profession can serve as a personal mission. It emphasizes the importance of seeking prophetic counsel and how historical figures like Moroni navigated challenges, drawing parallels to modern leadership. The discussion includes themes of sacrifice, mercy, and the moral dilemmas of warfare, advocating for spiritual strength and proactive preparation in the face of societal threats.
What are we fighting for? Dr. David Boren explores what makes a righteous leader and how to have joy amidst spiritual and physical battles and how the Book of Mormon arms readers to fight against unrighteousness.
