Don’t Let the World Change You
In the October 2024 General Conference, Brother Bradley R. Wilcox said. “Don’t trade everything for nothing. Don’t let the world change you when you were born to change the world.”
Some of the key themes discussed in Brother Wilcox’s talk are:
1. A Noble Birthright
Brother Wilcox begins by reminding the youth that they are part of a royal family, with a “noble birthright” as sons and daughters of a Heavenly Father. He stresses that this heritage comes with both privileges and responsibilities, and that they have the potential to make an eternal difference in the world.
2. Your Identity and Divine Potential
He invites the youth to recognize their true identity as children of God and the immense potential they carry. As they live up to this divine heritage, they can become the individuals God knows they can be. He encourages them to see themselves not just in terms of earthly roles but as part of God’s eternal plan.
3. The Power of Agency and Choices
Brother Wilcox teaches that with their birthright comes the gift of agency—the ability to choose. He underscores the importance of making righteous choices, including how they spend their time, who they associate with, and how they interact with the world around them. These choices shape their lives and destinies.
4. Facing Challenges with Faith
Recognizing that youth face challenges and temptations, Brother Wilcox assures them that they are not alone. He encourages them to rely on the Savior, Jesus Christ, for help in overcoming difficulties. He emphasizes that while challenges will come, they are part of God’s plan to help them grow and become stronger.
5. Living the Gospel and Finding Joy
Brother Wilcox encourages the youth to live the gospel, which he describes as the path to lasting happiness and fulfillment. He stresses that living in harmony with gospel principles—such as prayer, scripture study, and keeping commandments—will bring peace and joy. As they follow the Savior’s example, they will find purpose and direction in their lives.
6. Hope for the Future
He closes with a message of hope, reminding the youth that they are not only part of a royal family but that they are also part of a great work—the work of salvation. He invites them to embrace their divine birthright with confidence, knowing that Heavenly Father has great things in store for them.
