Thousands of women are gathering on the campus of Brigham Young University and online April 30 through May 2, 2025, to hear messages from leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and other instructors during the 2025 BYU Women’s Conference.
The 2025 theme is “Behold my Spirit is upon you … and thou shalt abide in me, and I in you; therefore walk with me” (Moses 6:34).
Abide in and Walk With the Lord
Sister J. Anette Dennis, First Counselor in the Relief Society General Presidency, opened the conference with a keynote address on Wednesday evening, encouraging listeners to “abide in the Savior.” She taught that just as the Lord promised the prophet Enoch that He would abide in him if Enoch chose to walk with and abide in the Lord, God invites us to do the same.
“As you choose to abide in the Savior, He will abide in you, and you need never walk alone, no matter where you go or what you do in this life!” she said. “You do not need to fear the future, even marriage and parenthood, because the Savior will be with you.”
She invited listeners to study the five most recent general conference talks given by President Russell M. Nelson, and “look for all the promises, blessings, privileges, and power that are available to you through making and keeping covenants with God.”
- “The Everlasting Covenant”
- “Spiritual Treasures”
- “Overcome the World and Find Rest”
- “The Temple and Your Spiritual Foundation”
- “Rejoice in the Gift of Priesthood Keys”
“A Prophet of God is telling us that there is no limit to the Savior’s capacity to help us,” Sister Dennis said. He’s telling us that the Lord can comfort us and strengthen us and bless us with peace even in the middle of the storms of life, even in the middle of chaos. But for the Savior to be able to do that, we need to choose to put our faith and trust in Him. We need to choose to walk with Jesus.”
Become Humble Followers of Christ
Primary General President Susan H. Porter spoke Thursday, May 1, on the importance of humility as Latter-day Saint women learn to follow and walk with the Savior.
“Humility touches hearts. Humility changes hearts. Humility opens our hearts to receive the Spirit of God,” she said. “Being humble fills us with the desire to leave behind old habits and choose to walk with the Savior. Our hearts open to receive His strength and His power to persevere and stay with Him through our hard battles of life.”
