Over the years with K12, the one question that I’ve heard most often from families has been, “How does K12 work if you’re Christian/Muslim/Catholic/Jewish? (Or another faith.) Will this curriculum hinder my sharing our family’s faith and values?” What I’ve found is that more than any other curriculum and school possibility, K12 has allowed us, as families, to share our beliefs and faith with our children while using a thorough, secular curriculum.

How would you react if you came home from a long trip only to find your once-clean home messy? Like everything-is-sticky-and-all-over-the-place messy. That’s kind of what happened to Nephi when he returned from preaching in a different land. But instead of coming back to a dirty home, Nephi came back to find the Nephites had turned to chaos and wickedness. In this week’s study group, we’ll dig into to Helaman 7–12 to find how Nephi reacted to the wickedness of the Nephites and how his actions proved he was a prophet of the Lord.

The event marked the 25th anniversary of the JRCLS—a nondenominational group that encourages attorneys to parlay personal religious conviction into meaningful public service and professional excellence. “I had the good fortune to be part of the founding of the [Clark] law society during my presidential years at BYU and the creation of its first chapter here in Washington, D.C.,” Elder Holland said during his remarks. “This a particularly sweet moment for me, coming back to the maternity ward where this baby was born and noting what a dazzling 25-year-old that child has become.”
