Episode 22: “Proved and Strengthened in Christ” — Elder Henry B. Eyring (with Special Guest Bill Peavoy)
In this week’s episode of Conference TALKS, we reflect on Elder Henry B. Eyring’s General Conference message, “Proved and Strengthened in Christ,” and explore how the Lord uses trials, uncertainty, and refining moments to shape us into stronger disciples of Jesus Christ.
Joined by our special guest Bill Peavoy, this conversation centers on facing life’s challenges with faith, trusting God in seasons of difficulty, and recognizing the quiet but powerful transformation that happens as we lean on the Savior. We talk openly about how being “proved” is not a sign of abandonment, but an invitation to grow, refine, and become more Christlike.
A unique part of this discussion also explores technology and AI, and how tools like these can be approached with stewardship rather than fear. Together, we examine how shifting our mindset from anxiety to optimism allows us to use modern tools in ways that support learning, growth, and the Lord’s work.
