General Conference Applied "Divine Authority, Sublime Young Men"
7/13/2025: S5 E28, Episode 137, President Steven J. Lund, April 2025 General Conference, "Divine Authority, Sublime Young Men".
Clay and Mitch identified the following invitations and shared how they will take action:
1. "Seeing this rolling thunder of newly ordained priesthood holders spreading across the earth, I wondered—in a 'church of joy' kind of way—if it shouldn't be shouted from the rooftops. 'Today,' I thought, 'there should be trumpets and crashing cymbals and blazing Roman candles. There should be parades!'"
2. "The Aaronic Priesthood is called the preparatory priesthood partly because its ordinances allow them to experience the weight and the joy of being on the Lord's errand, preparing them for future priesthood service, when they may be called upon to minister in unforeseeable ways—including pronouncing inspired blessings in times when hopes and dreams, and even life and death, hang in precarious balance. Such serious expectations require serious preparation."
3. "Deacons and teachers are 'to warn, expound, exhort, and teach, and invite all to come unto Christ' (Doctrine and Covenants 20:59). In addition to these opportunities, priests are to 'preach … and baptize' (Doctrine and Covenants 20:50). ... One bishop taught his new deacons quorum presidency these duties. So the young presidency began to talk about what that might look like in their quorum and in their ward."
