Choosing the Lord Again and Again | Tialei Scanlan | September 15, 2026

Tialei Scanlan Associate Professor Faculty of Business & Government Brigham Young University–Hawaii Devotional

At devotional, Tialei Scanlan teaches that choosing the Lord again and again brings strength, peace, and lasting blessings through life’s challenges. Drawing from experiences with faith, service, education, and family, she shares four ways to choose the Lord: through life’s challenges, feelings of inadequacy, lifelong learning, and personal priorities. She reminds students that consistent efforts to follow the Savior, serve others, continue learning, and make time for spiritual growth can strengthen faith and increase personal capabilities.

“I know that as you choose the Lord again, and again you will be blessed. Your path will be guided, and you will be able to accomplish things that you could have never accomplished on your own.” — Tialei Scanlan

Born in Guam and raised in Orem, Utah, and Laie, Hawaii, Tialei Scanlan holds an MBA from the Shidler College of Business and a Ph.D. in Learning Design & Technology from the College of Education at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. She has taught at BYU–Hawaii for over eight years and lives with her husband and their four children.
