"Seek This Jesus of Whom the Prophets and Apostles Have Written"

September 2024 Devotional Brian and Melinda Ashton

President Ashton reminded us that Jesus Christ "obtained power to help us overcome all things." What are some large or small challenges you face as a student? What can you do to obtain assistance through Jesus Christ to overcome these?Sister Ashton quoted 2 Nephi 26:24: "He doeth not anything save it be for the benefit of the world; for he loveth the world, even that he layeth down his own life that he may draw all men unto him." How does knowing about this love help you? What strength do you receive from this knowledge?

Student Ecclesiastical Endorsements

BYU-Pathway Worldwide is part of the Church Educational System (CES). Attending a CES institution is unique because students and faculty try to live as disciples of Jesus Christ. This includes academic honesty, respect, and living a virtuous life — all of which contribute to a positive learning environment. An ecclesiastical endorsement is an interview to discuss your willingness to live a faithful life Students who are members of the Church must be initially endorsed by their bishop/branch president and then their stake presidency. They will be notified annually to renew their endorsement.

Ecclesiastical endorsements are not required to participate in BYU-Pathway foundational courses (EnglishConnect 3 and PathwayConnect). Before starting your online certificates and degrees program, you must receive an ecclesiastical endorsement.

Being a Good Steward

Steward?

What is that?

A steward is a person whose job is to organize events, provide services to specific people, or take care of a particular place. In a different context, a steward can also be someone employed in a large household or estate to manage domestic concerns, supervise servants, collect rents, and keep accounts. Additionally, on ships, aircraft, or trains, a steward is responsible for taking care of passengers and providing meals.

Who that we know is like that?

Learning Model

Prepare: Spend time with the learning materials each week and complete assignments.

Teach One Another: You attend the Gathering weekly and teach one another for an hour, guided in discussion by a lead student. Teaching others what you are learning can also extend beyond the classroom and into your own home, church callings, and among friends and family.

Ponder and Prove: You reflect individually and with others, like at the gathering. Application activities give you an opportunity to ponder and prove what you are learning.

Marta was a PathwayConnect student and full-time mother who learned she was an inspiration to her teenage daughter. After she saw her mother studying diligently for weeks, the daughter resolved that she too could do it, and her efforts in school improved. Marta and her daughter grew closer through this experience.

Examples

Discuss how the student was a good academic and career steward

Esteban was a PathwayConnect student in Europe who studied hard. The course material he studied helped him get a new job at a call center that tripled his annual income, even before he finished PathwayConnect. He plans on continuing his studies so he can increase his ability to provide for his growing family. Cho applied what she learned about spreadsheets in her PathwayConnect courses to her current job in a home for elderly patients in the United States. Her boss was amazed at Cho's ability to use certain features of spreadsheets and asked Cho to teach her. Cho was happy that she had an opportunity to teach her boss and demonstrate her skills. She was glad she took the opportunity to talk to her boss about her new skills. She felt confident this would lead to future opportunities for promotions, a raise in pay, or both.

How they were a good academic and cereer steward:Being a good example to inspire others Study pathway to get a better job Use your abilities at work to be a good example Prepare yourself to have better skills, being a good leader sharing what you learned before

Examples

Discuss how the student was a good academic and career steward

Greta was a GS 170 student who wasn't planning on getting a job soon, but the resume skills she learned allowed her to help her husband get a better job. Later on, her Church leader asked her to come and present on how to use LinkedIn. Greta continued to spread her career stewardship knowledge and in the process developed herself so she would be better prepared to get a job should the need arise. Jasmine took what she learned in PC 102 about running a business, and applied it to her own business selling baked goods in the Philippines. She felt empowered to better define her business model, track sales data, and predict revenues.

Mary Ellen Smoot Relief Society General Presidentoctober 98

Faith and all spiritual gifts are available to everyone who is willing to live for them. Many times we think just being a member of the Church will entitle us to all the Lord has promised. But each blessing requires obedience. The Lord declared, “When we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated”

Matthew 25:14-30.

Why is Heavenly Father displeased when people refuse to use and increase what has been given to them? The first two servants were good stewards of the talents. They protected and increased them. How is taking university courses an example of being a good steward? In the course this week, you read a lesson about how being a good academic steward can help you be a better career steward. Discuss how doing better in school helps you do better in your place of work (paid or unpaid).

Group #2

In the parable, two of the servants doubled the talents that were given to them. Give an example in life where someone doubles the talents that were given to them. What are our “talents?” In other words, what has Heavenly Father given to us that we can increase? Why does Heavenly Father want us to increase these things? In the parable, one of the servants buried the talent that was given to him. Give an example in life where someone buries the talent that is given to them.
