04/23/2026 S7E1, Episode #234⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, President Dallin H. Oaks, President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠April 2026 General Conference⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠"⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Introduction" and "Closing Remarks⁠⁠."

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!
