President Brennen Owan Stake President, Makakilo Hawaii Stake, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Brigham Young University–Hawaii Devotional
In his devotional address, President Brennen Owan compares spiritual growth to muscle hypertrophy, emphasizing that just as muscles grow through consistent effort, our testimonies strengthen through daily spiritual practices. He encourages us to use our spiritual gifts, be interruptible like Christ to serve others, and repent regularly. President Owan also urges frequent temple worship, promising that these actions will build lasting spiritual resilience and deepen our confidence before the Lord. "I invite you to ask Heavenly Father to help you see your spiritual gifts and the talents He has entrusted to you and how you can use them to lift, love, and strengthen His children." –President Brennen Owan
