01/04/2026 S6E47, Episode #208, Elder Gary E. Stevenson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, October 2025 General Conference, "Blessed are the Peacemakers."
Clay and Mitch were joined by Tyson Price, host of the brand new Military Saint Podcast. Tyson helped us go deeper into Elder Stevenson's message about being a peacemaker and when to stand up for your faith. He shared a powerful story of how living his faith as the only LDS member in his military squadron during basic training led to a miraculous priesthood blessing and the nickname, "Chaplain." We share examples of courage from Grand Blanc attack survivors and what children can teach us about peacemaking.

01/01/2026 S6E46, Episode #207, Elder James E. Evanson, General Authority Seventy of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, October 2025 General Conference, "Go and Do Likewise."
Clay and Mitch were joined by special guest, Elder Greg Cramer, an Idaho Falls employment center service missionary. Elder Cramer didn't initially have any interest in anything other than a proselytizing mission, but gained a powerful testimony of service work that surprised him. He and his wife have already served 2.5 years and just extended for another because they can't imagine life without the wonderful gospel teaching and temporal assistance experiences they're having! This was a wonderful conversation about what we can all learn from Elder Evanson's talk on going and doing likewise.

12/8/2025, S6 E33, Episode #194, Elder Ozani Farias, General Authority 70 of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, October 2025 General Conference, "The Book of Mormon—an Immeasurable Treasure on Our Journey."
Clay and Mitch were thrilled to chat about the Book of Mormon and Elder Farias' talk with our incredibly talented special guest, Pablo Smith, creator of The Book of Mormon: A Graphic Novel. After working in the animation business for over 20 years, Pablo decided to create a faithful adaptation of the Book of Mormon for his children. To make it easier for them to consume, he turned it into YouTube videos. To his surprise (but nobody else's), it's now taking off!
We talk about the power of scripture as first aid for anger or other emotions, the moral wrestle between self-sacrifice and fair compensation when creating beneficial religious content, a crucial decision Pablo had to make when assigned an inappropriate scene on his first day as an animator, and why studying the Book of Mormon daily is essential for spiritual survival.
All credit for excerpts from The Book of Mormon: A Graphic Novel to Pablo Smith and any current or future publishers. Please support his project at the following links. If his publisher or other details of the project change, we'll update our newsletter site. (link below).
