Students, faculty and employees of each of the institutions within the Church Educational System are regularly invited to gather to hear messages centered on the gospel of Jesus Christ from various Church leaders, university leaders and other experts, scholars and guests.
Although many messages are geared toward the students of these institutions — BYU, BYU–Idaho, BYU–Hawaii, Ensign College and BYU–Pathway Worldwide — Latter-day Saints throughout the Church are invited to participate in these devotionals, most of which are available online.
