On Oct. 4-5, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints held its 195th Semiannual General Conference. The two days of general sessions included counsel and teachings from Church leaders, and included expressions of appreciation for the leadership of President Russell M. Nelson, who died one week before the conference convened. This special conference edition of the Church News podcast features excerpts from each of the conference addresses and covers topics like the family’s place in God’s plan, the healing that comes through relying on the Savior, ministering to the one and sustaining the Lord’s leaders.

The Church News Podcast is a weekly podcast that invites listeners to make a journey of connection with members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints across the globe. Hosts Jon Ryan Jensen, editor of the Church News, and Church News reporter Mary Richards share unique views of the stories, events, and people who form this international faith. With each episode, listeners are asked to embark on a journey to learn from one another and ponder, “What do I know now?” because of the experience. Produced by KellieAnn Halvorsen.
