General Conference Applied

05/21/2026 S7E4, Episode #237,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Elder David A. Bednar⁠ of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠April 2026 General Conference talk⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠"⁠All Who Have Endured Valiantly⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠."
Mitch and Clay were joined by Matt Polifka, who, unlike Elder Bednar, has no love/hate relationship with running. Matt has run 16 marathons and shares many analogies to the gospel that help us better understand Elder Bednar's teachings on enduring to the end and charity, the pure love of Christ.
This episode touches on charity, endurance, running, families, supporting each other in the church, the plan of salvation, and much more!

Mitch and Clay were joined by Juli Thompson, a perfect guest to discuss President Oaks' dual topics of resurrection and peacemaking. Juli told the incredible story of losing two young boys to a drunk driver, then being told by God that He loves the drunk driver too and that she and her husband, Michael, needed to go tell him that and forgive him! The Thompsons have served many missions and continue to experience miracles.

Are there any wasted words in General Conference? Surely the opening and closing remarks by the Prophet aren't very important, right? ... Right?
Welcome to Season 7 of General Conference Applied! Mitch and Clay are kicking it off with an overview of the season to come and by demonstrating how much applicable value there is even in what some might consider throwaway addresses at conference, the introduction and closing remarks given by President Oaks. We walk through the many invitations the Prophet extended even in these short comments. They are definitely not to be ignored!
This episode touches on sustaining each other in callings, prayer, hymns, conference application ideas, a call for podcast guest volunteers, and much more!

03/30/2026 S6E72, Episode #233⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Elder ⁠Carlos A. Godoy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, General Authority Seventy of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠October 2025 General Conference⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠"⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Smiling Faces and Grateful Hearts⁠."
Mitch and Clay were joined by Greg Wilson, the guy who likely made the furniture you pull out for ward parties. Greg founded Mity (aka Mity-Lite) to create lightweight tables and chairs for the church. He grew it into a multinational company, supplying the church but also schools and other venues, before selling it 20 years ago. In retirement, the Wilsons served a mission to the Democratic Republic of the Congo where they experienced incredible things and made lifelong friends. Greg is one of the biggest advocates for everyone, but especially seniors, to serve missions. Hopefully his stories inspire you to put in your papers!
This episode touches on gratitude, poverty, senior missionary service, Africa, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, miracles, dedication, trusting the Lord, and much more!
