Deep dives
The Majestic Importance of the Priesthood
Understanding the priesthood's significance and how it was lost and restored enables a deeper appreciation of its power to serve and bless lives. The priesthood's restoration marked a pivotal moment in bringing the Savior's authority back to the earth, enhancing the Christian expression in the world.
Embracing the Responsibilities of the Aaronic Priesthood
Young men should recognize the privilege and duty of their priesthood callings, from deacons to priests, as a pathway to serve like the Savior. By carrying out simple yet profound duties like passing the sacrament, they contribute to lifting and comforting others, manifesting the power of the priesthood in real and impactful ways.
Seeking Meaning and Purpose in Service
Engaging in the work of the priesthood offers youth a sense of purpose, belonging, and fulfillment in serving Heavenly Father's children. By understanding the grandeur of their roles, they find meaning in their service, offering a pathway to happiness and fulfillment in this life.
Youth Empowerment Through Priesthood Service
Encouraging and guiding youth in their Aaronic priesthood responsibilities fosters their growth and understanding of their divine destiny and purpose. By embracing the magnitude of their service and its impact on others, young men can find joy, strength, and a sense of being part of something greater than themselves.
This faith-refreshing conversation on the For All The Saints podcast is all about the restoration of the Aaronic Priestood.
Steven J. Lund currently serves as the Young Men General President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he has served in this role since 2020.
I wanted to speak to President Lund on the week that commemorates the restoration of the Aaronic Priesthood (May 15, 1829) and catch up on the function and state of the Aaronic Priesthood today, as well as those who traditionally hold it - young men. Who better to speak to than the President of the global program.
Some highlights from this episode include what it's really like to speak at General Conference, the experience of attending the first FSY in Pakistan, and how adults can best support youth in the Gospel.
