EP 577 – General Conference Recap, April 2022

General Conference was huge! From new temples to updated statistical reports, from excellent prophetic counsel to wholly unnecessary breakdowns of speakers' ties, we'll forever be grateful for the April 2022 General Conference.

Join Geoff Openshaw, Hailey Smith, and Devin Thorpe (plus a random surprise guest who shows up two-thirds of the way through) to discuss our impressions and thoughts on the remarks of the conference, including our favorite talks, anything ostensibly controversial, and much more!

Editor's Note: At one point, one of the panelists says President Bingham presided over the women's session. That is incorrect. President Nelson presided.
