EDUCATION
1984 Bachelor of Arts, Brigham Young University
2009 MBA, University of Utah
BUSINESS
After leaving professional basketball, Durrant worked as a sales representative and then as marketing director with WordPerfect Corporation. (http://www.wordplace.com/ap/) He subsequently owned his own real estate investment firm.
Durrant is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) which has a lay ministry. Durrant has served in a variety of positions, including bishop(twice), branch president, counselor in a branch presidency (three times), counselor in a bishopric (three times), counselor in a stake presidency, high councilor, and stake mission president. As a young man, Durrant served as a full-time missionary in the church's Spain Madrid Mission. Young missionaries in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints leave their homes, schooling, family and jobs and in the case of Durrant their athletic scholarships to serve voluntarily for two years. From 2011 to 2014, he served as president of the Texas Dallas Mission. Mission presidents in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints leave their careers, extended family and homes to voluntarily serve for a period of three years.
At the church's April 2014 General Conference, while still serving as a mission president in Texas, Durrant was accepted by the membership as second counselor to Tad R. Callister in the general presidency of the church's Sunday School. Durrant completed his service in Texas and officially began the Sunday School assignment in July 2014. In May 2015, the LDS Church announced that John S. Tanner, who was serving as First Counselor in the Sunday School General Presidency, had been appointed as the next president of Brigham Young University-Hawaii. As a result, in June 2015 Durrant was called as first counselor, with Brian K. Ashton succeeding Durrant as second counselor.
Durrant has spoken twice in the church's general conference. The first was in April 1984, just after completing his playing career at BYU, where he spoke on the topic of missionary work. Here is an excerpt from that talk: "I’m grateful for the honor that I had of being Elder Durrant while in Spain. I know that Jesus Christ lives, that while he was on the earth he taught us the way that we ought to live. I know that he expects us as holders of the priesthood to take what he has given us and go out and share it with others. And as we do this, he not only blesses the lives of the people we come in contact with, but he also blesses us. I know that the gospel he has given us is true. That’s why I wanted to share it—because it means so much in my life."
He spoke again in the October 2015 General Conference, while serving in the Sunday School General Presidency. In that conference, Durrant gave a sermon introducing the word "ponderize." He described it as a combination of memorizing and pondering a verse of scripture. He invited listeners to take up the practice. Here are some excerpts from the talk:
First, choose a verse of scripture each week and place it where you will see it every day.
Second, read or think of the verse several times each day and ponder the meaning of its words and key phrases throughout the week.
Imagine the uplifting results of doing this weekly for six months, a year, 10 years, or more.
As you make this effort, you will feel an increase in spirituality. You will also be able to teach and lift those you love in more meaningful ways.
As you reflect on your selected verse each week, words and phrases will be written on your heart.4 Words and phrases will also be written on your mind. In other words, memorization will take place easily and naturally. But the primary goal of ponderizing is to provide an uplifting place for your thoughts to go—a place that keeps you close to the Spirit of the Lord.
I promise you will not regret writing a verse of scripture on your mind and heart each week. You will experience a feeling of perpetual spiritual purpose, protection, and power.
The next day it was discovered that he and his son had recently registered several web site domains for the word. Within a few hours of the sermon, his son launched a web site selling "ponderize" merchandise. The web site was removed by his son. Durrant later issued an apology.
Devin is the father of six children and the grandfather of nine.
