Line Upon Line: Finding You Way with Eternal Intention

Habben’s lecture focuses on the importance of change — from seeking change to having faith during times of change. Using examples from the scriptures, from art history and from his own life, Habben also explains how having specific intentions in his work has helped increase his faith.

“My hope is that by sharing the importance of focusing our intention on eternal perspectives, I’ll be able to help others find the direction and revelation they need to make use of their own unique experiences,” said Habben. “Having been guided by personal revelation through my career and life, I can trust going forward that each challenge has a purpose and an end.”
