The Grand Story of Our Eternal Family

Wheatley Family Fellow Jenet Erickson Gives Devotional Address at BYU-Hawaii

On October 24, 2023, Wheatley Family Fellow Jenet Erickson spoke at BYU-Hawaii on the importance of the family unit saying, "this is what our souls yearn for. We are not designed for self-actualized, pleasure-seeking individual autonomy. We are deeply relational beings designed for connection and belonging." Throughout her lecture, she shared a mix of family research and personal experiences to demonstrate to the audience the critical importance of the family unit.
