7/17/2025: S5 E29, Episode 138, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ June 2025 General Conference+ Part One.

Clay and Mitch identified many invitations that members of the ⁠⁠⁠⁠First Presidency⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠Quorum of the Twelve Apostles⁠⁠⁠⁠ shared in settings other than General Conference (i.e., Church magazines, Church school devotionals, press releases, social media, temple dedicatory prayers, etc.) during June 2025. Here are a few of the invitations they discussed during this episode (yes, there are many more than this):

1. [President Russell M. Nelson] "Consider how your life is different because of the Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ."

2. [President Dallin H. Oaks] "As servants of God who have the knowledge and responsibilities of His great plan of salvation, we should hasten to prepare our attitudes and our actions, institutionally and personally, to abandon all personal prejudice."

3. [President Henry B. Eyring] "The Savior has used the word 'always' in two settings: You promise always to remember Him when you partake of the sacrament. And He warns you to pray always."

4. [President Jeffrey R. Holland] "Follow just as much as those two or three little scriptures [Mosiah 26:29; Doctrine and Covenants 58:42; 2 Nephi 31:13]. Use them ... and you'll have peace in your heart."

5. [Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf] "[P]lease ask your Heavenly Father for blessings and guidance. Share with Him your hopes, dreams, and desires. But in doing so, make sure that you are not trying to get Him to see things your way. Ask Him to open your eyes to see things His way."

6. [Elder David A. Bednar] "My question for each of us is this: 'Are we converted to the Lord, or something else?' Is each of us striving to have our individual testimony and witness that the gospel is true?"

7. [Elder Quentin L. Cook] Care for the vulnerable. This is a sacred duty.

8. [Elder D. Todd Christofferson] "Consider how the Savior engaged people and invited them to exercise their own moral agency, to learn and apply gospel truth."

9. [Elder Neil L. Andersen] "We discussed an important teaching from President Dallin H. Oaks, 'Where Will This Lead?' ... This question can help us determine the eternal results of our daily decisions."

10. [Elder Ronald A. Rasband] "May each of us embrace the youth in our lives today with even more love and appreciation as we pray for and minister to these dear families in Lesotho."

11. [Elder Gary E. Stevenson] "As important as it is to find common ground, it is just as important to share gospel truths that are unique to the Church of Jesus Christ. I strive to do both of those things."

12. [Elder Dale G. Renlund] "Strive not to complain or murmur. ... Maintain an eternal perspective, reminding ourselves whose work this really is."

13. [Elder Gerrit W. Gong] "Please always remember that you can turn to [Heavenly Father] for comfort. Our Heavenly Father loves you eternally and will always be there for you."

14. [Elder Ulisses Soares] "The light of a new day shines brighter in our lives when we see and treat our fellow beings with respect and dignity and as true brothers and sisters in Christ."

15. [Elder Patrick Kearon] "Our Savior Jesus Christ exhibited during His mortal ministry great love for children. We are grateful for this opportunity to follow His example and help the children of Maa Elementary School to feel His love."
