Meekness is often misunderstood as weakness, but as we discuss today, it is actually a powerful attribute that brings strength, self-restraint, and divine guidance.
Join us as we explore the stories Elder Bednar shared—contrasting the rich young ruler with Amulek, highlighting Pahoran’s Christlike response to Moroni, and examining President Nelson’s humble approach to scripture study. We also take a closer look at Emma Smith’s incredible example of meekness and resilience, especially in times of adversity.
