Your Most Impactful Class

Gospel Insight

Doctrine and Covenants 88:118 reminds us to “seek learning, even by study and also by faith.” In MCom 320, we do both. As disciples of Jesus Christ, we strive to become more than just effective communicators—we seek to become Christlike communicators.

President Russell M. Nelson, in his April 2023 General Conference talk Peacemakers Needed, shared:

“The gospel net is the largest net in the world. God has invited all to come unto Him… There is room for everyone. However, there is no room for prejudice, condemnation, or contention of any kind.”

Your words matter. Whether written or spoken, in person or online, your communication reflects who you are—and who you follow.

The Lord’s question might be the following:

Does your communication invite, include, and uplift like I would?
