The BYU-Idaho devotional speaker for Nov. 24 was Randy Beard. He is the information technology platform services manager at BYU-Idaho and has worked on campus since 1997.  

In the devotional, Beard focused on the importance of becoming. 

“A process of becoming leads us one step at a time to the end goal of being. When I speak of becoming, I’m talking about a transformation inside that makes us a different person, not just saying or doing. A person can say something without believing or meaning it. We can even do the right thing without that action being driven by righteous intent or feelings, but positive outcomes of words and actions will come naturally as we strive to become,” Beard said.
