In this episode, I sit down with a my good friend Phil LeCheminant to discuss revelation, spiritual capacity, and what just might be in store for the April 2020 General Conference.

Elder Christofferson’s talk “The Joy of the Saints” is the focus of this episode, but Wes sneaks in a little bit about the Karate Kid, too.

In this episode, Wes recaps the major talks from the Oct 2019 General Conference and uses Elder Holland's talk as a springboard for how we should study conference talks in the future.

In this episode, Wes begins the next phase of the podcast with a review of his favorite talk from the October 2018 General Conference, Elder Bednar’s “Gather Together in One All Things in Christ.”

Welcome welcome, listeners new and old! In this episode, Wes breaks down where the podcast has been, where it is now, and where it’s going in the future.

Oh, where has the time gone?! With medical and dental boards upon us, things have been moving pretty slow here at Talks on Talks. We're still alive and kicking and we love that you're still listening.

In this episode, we discuss Elder Brian K. Taylor's talk "Am I A Child of God?" The obvious answer is yes, of course, but how does that tie into our day-to-day lives? We'll give our best shot at answering this question in the episode. Let us know what you think!

After a week of going over some of the talks and reflecting on the major changes from the April 2018 General Conference, Wes and Jason sit down to talk it all out! What a conference it was, and it was almost as good reviewing.

We hope you enjoy the things we took away from conference, but we'd also love to hear your thoughts. Shoot us an email at [email protected] or message us on Instagram - we love hearing from you!

This episode has been in the works since this time last year! It’s about time we finally got our friend and Talks on Talks listener Tyler Todd on the show to talk about the fascinating story of his conversion after watching the Book of Mormon Musical. He shared with us what it was like first learning about the church from the musical, how he transitioned to meeting with the missionaries and their mission president, and how he handled his conversion story being picked up by USA Today. Take a listen and don’t forget to wish Tyler congratulations on recently getting engaged! You go, Tyler!

John C. Maxwell on multiplying value: “There is a huge difference between addition and multiplication. Adding followers to your cause is a good thing but multiplying leaders for your cause is so much better. When you add followers, you simply grow in numbers. When you multiply leaders, you grow in both capacity and consistency. When you multiply leaders who multiply leaders, you gain limitless potential.”
