12/8/2025, S6 E33, Episode #194, Elder Ozani Farias, General Authority 70 of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, October 2025 General Conference, "The Book of Mormon—an Immeasurable Treasure on Our Journey."
Clay and Mitch were thrilled to chat about the Book of Mormon and Elder Farias' talk with our incredibly talented special guest, Pablo Smith, creator of The Book of Mormon: A Graphic Novel. After working in the animation business for over 20 years, Pablo decided to create a faithful adaptation of the Book of Mormon for his children. To make it easier for them to consume, he turned it into YouTube videos. To his surprise (but nobody else's), it's now taking off!
We talk about the power of scripture as first aid for anger or other emotions, the moral wrestle between self-sacrifice and fair compensation when creating beneficial religious content, a crucial decision Pablo had to make when assigned an inappropriate scene on his first day as an animator, and why studying the Book of Mormon daily is essential for spiritual survival.
