In this devotional, Elder Alliaud teaches students to look beyond the obvious realities of life and move forward with faith in Jesus Christ. Drawing from his experiences with education, his career, and rugby, he shares how closed doors and unexpected challenges can become experiences for our good. Elder Alliaud shares three principles to help us move forward: choose prophecy over projections, take no counsel from your fears, and be willing to go high and fly. This devotional took place at Ensign College in Salt Lake City, Utah on September 17, 2026.
