Elder Christofferson didn't pull any punches this year! Perennial guest Brad McBride joins Matthew to talk about Elder Christofferson's powerful address, "Burying Our Weapons of Rebellion" and how it relates to shirking the Garment, getting tattoos, and other behaviors that seem to be slipping into the body of the Church.

Join Brett, Shelbi, and Josh this week on the Conference Talk Podcast as we discuss Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf's talk, " Nourish the Roots, and the Branches Will Grow".
Josh is a newly returned missionary and get to share some missionary experiences as it relates to nourishing our roots.
It's election day, which means it's a perfect time to talk about... disagreeing without contention. Is it possible to "contend" for righteous causes without being contentious? If someone is upset at you, are you guilty of contention? To answer this question, we brought returning guest Zach on to analyze Pres. Oaks's talk on contention: Following Christ.
And remember, no matter who gets elected president today, our King is Jesus Christ!

What might be the most masculine, most powerful moment of Christ's earthy ministry? When, after passing through the host agonizing moment of all eternity, covered in blood and sacked of His strength, He protected His Apostles with three words: "I Am He." This is how Pres. Holland opens and titles his talk, and we've got Greg Matsen on to talk about it!

Becoming True Millennials - Russell M. Nelson
This weeks episode is all about Priesthood keys, authority, and power as given by President Nelson. Join in as the Stanfill's discuss a special event that happened to help them understand this talk better. Enjoy!
Matthew sits down with Greg Matsen from the Cwic Show to discuss Elder Patrick Kearon's first apostolic address; "God’s Intent Is to Bring You Home." It's a beautiful, moving testimony to the love of God, but don't mistakenly think that Elder Kearon is downplaying our responsibilities or the divine law of justice. This is a powerful talk that fully embraced both divine mercy and divine justice.

Joseph Smith describing language as a "little, narrow prison"
Pres. Nelson, Feb 2003: "While divine love can be called perfect, infinite, enduring, and universal, it cannot correctly be characterized as unconditional. The word does not appear in the scriptures. On the other hand, many verses affirm that the higher levels of love the Father and the Son feel for each of us—and certain divine blessings stemming from that love—are conditional."
Elder Bowen of the Seventy teaches us of the power of the Priesthood and how miracles have not ceased, as he shares four very personal and beautiful miracles he was able to have a part in throughout his life.
Hosts Keenan Baird and Brett Cain talk about President Dallin H. Oaks' "Covenants and Responsibilities" and how we can fulfill our obligations to each other, ourselves, and the Lord.
