“The power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves” (D&C 58:28).

The outlines in this unit will help the Aaronic Priesthood holders understand the importance of becoming spiritually and temporally self-reliant. Although they are in their youth, these young men have been blessed with the gift of agency, and they are learning how to set their own course and find answers to their own problems in the gospel of Jesus Christ. The more self-reliant they become, the more freedom they will enjoy. They will be better prepared to magnify their callings in the priesthood, strengthen their families, and fulfill their future roles as husbands and fathers.
