Councils that exclude divine guidance often fall short of success, as evidenced in the accounts of Nephi and his brothers who failed to secure the plates. True counsel involves more than consensus; it requires revelation from God. Notable leaders have experienced that significant disagreements can exist among strong and capable individuals, yet through open dialogue and seeking truth, unity can emerge. This process of respectful disagreements, aimed at discovering what is right rather than defeating others, showcases the miracle of divine influence within councils, transforming diverse opinions into harmonious decisions.
Dr. Boren continues to examine the war chapters of Alma and the principles of righteous leadership as well as the evidence of God’s hand in preparing the Book of Mormon for modern-day application and testimony.
