The 2026 Utah Area YSA Conference, held August 14–15 under the theme “Together in Christ,” brings young adults together to deepen faith, serve, and build meaningful friendships. On both days, Ty R. Mansfield presents “Following Jesus into the Wilderness: How Solitude and Meditation Deepen Our Discipleship,” exploring how the Savior’s example and practices of solitude, meditation, and contemplative prayer can strengthen our relationship with Christ, deepen spiritual sensitivity, and cultivate greater peace, charity, and purpose in serving others.
