Shelby and Brett return to talk about Elder Soares' sublime message, "Aligning Our Will with His". In an age of militant individualism and subjective "truths", we need to surrender our will and recognize that what makes God happy will ultimately make us happy and not the other way around.

Dad jokes and Artificial Intelligence? Elder Gong starts his talk with laughs and ends with love. Shelby and Brett discuss the talk, "Holiness to the Lord in Everyday Life" and how we can turn the mundane into something sacred and how we can make the sacred something we enjoy daily.

It's election day, which means it's a perfect time to talk about... disagreeing without contention. Is it possible to "contend" for righteous causes without being contentious? If someone is upset at you, are you guilty of contention? To answer this question, we brought returning guest Zach on to analyze Pres. Oaks's talk on contention: Following Christ.

And remember, no matter who gets elected president today, our King is Jesus Christ!
