Description

Hosted by Lance Chase, this episode of Focus Hawaii presents highlights from BYU–Hawaii’s sesquicentennial celebration of Pioneers in the Pacific, featuring performances by local youth in the symbolic “Youth Garden” program. Through song, chant, and dramatized storytelling, the presentation honors the heritage, sacrifices, and faith of Pacific pioneers while using garden imagery—flowers, drought, prayer, renewal, humility, and covenant—to teach lessons of resilience and spiritual commitment. The episode includes dramatized segments portraying themes of pride, humility, and unity, as well as reflections on the responsibilities and identity of the rising generation. This special broadcast captures the spirit of the week‑long campus celebration and its tribute to the youth of the Pacific and their cultural and spiritual roots.
