Distinguished Wheatley Fellow Kevin J. Worthen gave a devotional address at BYU-Idaho about disciple-scholars and their unique responsibility to uphold the Constitution.
"My hope is that each of you would aspire to become disciple-scholars, dedicated to becoming both a consecrated disciple of Jesus Christ and a person with a deep understanding of the truths found in your chosen area of study. I hope my remarks today—which will focus on constitutional government— will provide you with some ideas about how to be a disciple-scholar in your area of study and also some motivation to engage in that endeavor."
