    What Pres. Eyring's Two Invitations Are Teaching Us

    02/20/2026 S6E57, Episode #218⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, Return & Report for President Henry B. Eyring's October 2025 General Conference talk, "Proved and Strengthened in Christ." Mitch, Clay, and guest Mitch Park covered this talk in depth several months ago (Episode 169) and committed to each take action on at least one of Pres. Eyring's invitations.

    What to Do If Your Life's Recipe Tastes. . . Off — Elder John D. Amos, "The Good News Recipe"

    01/25/2026 S6E51, Episode #212⁠⁠⁠, ⁠Elder John D. Amos⁠, General Authority Seventy of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠October 2025 General Conference⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠"⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Good News Recipe⁠⁠."⁠⁠ Clay and Mitch were joined by special guest, Kayla Shields. As Elder Amos's message centered on a recipe analogy with Jesus Christ being the "secret ingredient," we were thrilled to have Kayla share her faith and experiences cooking in the Lion House Pantry, a restaurant in Brigham Young's former Salt Lake City residence. We discuss Elder and Sister Amos's very impressive backgrounds in nuclear engineering and at NASA, how to find "recipes" in the scriptures, and Kayla shares a helpful story of what to do if something feels like it's gone wrong in your life plan.

    Armed Robber vs Dallin H. Oaks + the Lord—Chicago 1970

    Let me stop you right there. This bonus mini episode is a MUCH better experience on YouTube. If you haven't subscribed to our YouTube channel yet, here's an example of what you can look forward to! 01/22/2026 S6E50, Episode #211⁠⁠⁠, ⁠President Dallin H. Oaks of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. SURPRISE! This⁠⁠ is a bonus mini episode that Clay put together. Even Mitch doesn't know about it! Hehe. We're coming across invaluable teachings and amazing stories from President Oaks in our Come Listen to a Prophet's Voice Saturday newsletters and this one was too good not to share. It's primarily a YouTube video (and you really should watch it there and subscribe), but since many of you fine folks only know us as a podcast, I'm also releasing it as an episode so you won't miss out. In 1992, then-Elder Oaks told of a Chicago summer night in 1970 when he and his wife, June, were held at gunpoint by a robber. Their terrifying ordeal, what the Spirit showed young Dallin would happen if he fought the robber, and the outcome of it all are images you'll never forget!
