In this episode of Thinking Celestial, Dr. Kirk Burbidge and SLCC student Lizzy McEvoy dive into Elder John D. Amos’s October 2025 address, “The Good News Recipe.” Elder Amos compares living the gospel to following a recipe where the scriptures provide the directions and Jesus Christ is the “secret ingredient” that makes everything come together. They discuss what it means to “add more Savior” to your life through prayer, scripture study, and inviting His influence daily, reminding us that when life feels out of order, the answer is always Christ.
