SELF RELIANCE SERIES

What is Self Reliance?

Self-reliance is the ability, commitment, and effort to provide the spiritual and temporal necessities of life for ourselves and families. Blessed with the gift of agency, we have the privilege and duty to set our own course, solve our own problems, and strive to become self-reliant. We do this under the inspiration of the Lord and with the labor of our own hands.
