Todd is joined by his wife Jamie as they discuss Relief Society President Camille N. Johnson’s talk from the Sunday morning session of April 2023 general conference.

Kevin and Todd have run out of messages from Prophets and Apostles to review, at least from the April 2023 General Conference. We have turned our attention to other Conference talks which stood out to us. In this episode, we cover Vern P. Stanfill, a General Authority Seventy, who spoke during the Sunday afternoon session. He spoke on the difference between perfectionism and being perfected in Christ. We talk a lot about providing an acceptable offering and what that looks like. We also talk about love, feeling fantastic and even about chocolate cake!

Todd and Kevin chat about Ulisses Soares’ talk from the Sunday morning session of April 2023 general conference on Followers of the Prince of Peace.

Todd and Kevin tackle Gerrit W. Gong’s talk from the Saturday morning session of April 2023 general conference.

We share stories and insight into the importance of ministering for ourselves and those we minister to.

Kevin and Todd tackle Elder Dale G. Renlund’s talk from the Saturday afternoon session of April 2023 general conference. By intentionally walking the covenant path — from baptism to the temple and throughout life — one can receive the power to go against the natural worldly flow.

Elder Gary E. Stevenson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles shared a message during the April 2023 General Conference. He detailed the Easter story in 3 Nephi and invited all to consider the Book of Mormon’s witness of the resurrected Christ. Kevin and Todd dissect the talk a little by discussing the differences in Christmas and Easter and the benefits of putting more emphasis on the latter. We can also benefit from a deeper understanding of the doctrines of Christ found in the Book of Mormon.

Ronald A. Rasband of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles spoke during the Sunday afternoon session of April 2023 general conference. He spoke on ways the doctrine of Holy Week applies to one’s life. Kevin and Todd discuss discipleship and the role we play in coming unto Christ.

Elder Neil L. Andersen of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles spoke during the Sunday morning session of April 2023 general conference. He used Alma’s phrase in the Book of Mormon — “my mind caught hold upon this thought” — to illustrate what it looks like to focus attention on Christ. Kevin and Todd share thoughts on the talk and the importance of making Christ a priority in our life.
