The General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a time for personal inspiration and reflection. What did our contributors and editors learn for themselves and their families?
General conference is one of my favorite things in life, and this time was particularly important to me. Messages about Jesus, faith, Easter, and holy week, but this time a further message about how the disciple of Christ has an obligation to be a peacemaker. I loved it. Not just civility, something deeper: the call to peacemaking. I suspect we’ll talk more about it in coming episodes, so for now, a highlights reel.

Some highlights from our weekend participating in the semiannual conference of the Church of Jesus Christ—listening to 10 hours of counsel, teaching, and witness.
Words of prophetic counsel are a constant presence and fixture in most Latter-day Saint lives. But it wasn’t until I started studying them intently that something changed inside me.
Are we among those deriding and deconstructing prophetic teachings, or are we rejoicing and relishing the chance to hear from them?
