"Focus on Jesus Christ and His Gospel"
4/6/2025: Episode 109, Elder I. Raymond Egbo, October 2024 General Conference, "Focus on Jesus Christ and His Gospel".Clay and Mitch identified the following invitation and shared how they will take action:1. "Ignore the distractions of the world and focus on Christ and His gospel."2. "For parents with children who have strayed, take heart! Instead of wondering why an angel does not come to help your child repent, know that the Lord has placed a mortal angel in his or her path: the bishop, another Church leader, or a ministering brother or sister. If you keep fasting and praying, if you do not set a timetable or a deadline for God, and if you trust that He is stretching forth His hand to help, then—sooner or later—you find God touching the heart of your child when your child chooses to listen."Watch General Conference Applied on YouTube hereShow notes for General Conference Applied episodes are located hereTo subscribe to Mitch's 'What?
