9/26/2025: S5 E50, Episode 159, April 2025 General Conference Applications – Return and Report: Elder James R. Rasband, Elder Vargas, Elder Shumway, and Elder McCune.
Clay, Mitch, and their guest, Maddy Tueller, reported how they have taken action on the following invitations from the April 2025 General Conference addresses delivered by Elder James R. Rasband, Elder Sergio R. Vargas, Elder Steven D. Shumway, and Elder John A. McCune:
Elder Rasband:
1. "President Russell M. Nelson invited us to study the dedicatory prayer of the Kirtland Temple, recorded in section 109 of the Doctrine and Covenants."
2. "For those who sometimes struggle to feel answers to prayer, seeking the Lord's mercy is one of the most powerful ways to feel the witness of the Holy Ghost."
Elder Vargas:
1. "At that very moment, a concerned priesthood holder stood in front of me. He lovingly invited me to focus on Christ and not on the situation we had experienced in class. As I looked back on the experience with him, he shared with me that he heard a voice tell him, 'Go after him; he is important to me.'"
2. "The Prophet Joseph Smith taught that 'a man filled with the love of God, is not content with blessing his family alone, but ranges through the whole world, anxious to bless the whole human race.'"
Elder Shumway:
1. "[S]erve because we love God and want to live our covenants."
2. "[A]ct in faith to do something beyond our abilities."
Elder McCune:
1. "As we make and keep covenants, we will naturally turn outward and have a desire to help others feel the measure of joy and love we feel in our covenantal relationships. We can be part of the greatest cause on the earth today—the gathering of Israel. We can help to bring God's children to Christ."
