Hello, Doer of the word! Welcome to General Conference+!
GC+ is a special weekly edition of the GCA newsletter, saving you hours of work by bringing you messages from the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles found anywhere outside of Conference. We look at social media, magazines, devotionals, temple dedications, YouTube, press releases, and more to identify meaningful resources that you won't want to miss.
Note that the Church cross-posts both long videos and shorter excerpts of the same content on multiple platforms. We’ll feature only one instance of a resource if it appeared in multiple places. Social media links will be to Instagram, though you can easily find the same thing on Facebook, X, or as a YouTube Short if you prefer.
Find a resource that inspires you, check out the linked source, and share it with someone you love. Here we go!
Last Week’s Best Resources
Honoring BYU at 150: A Conversation with President Dallin H. Oaks & President Jeffrey R. Holland - Among many topics, President Oaks said his Freshman English and Religion classes at BYU were where he gained the most relevant skills for the rest of his life. In a social media post comment, President Christofferson said the same was true for him.
“Prosperity” - Beautifully edited reel from President Christofferson’s October conference talk. Great option if you’re teaching from this talk, along with our Invitations PDF handout from our Oct 30, 2025 newsletter.
Welcoming New Members - nice reel (or longer YouTube video) from Elder Cook’s October conference talk. Useful for teaching. Find a printable handout for his invitations and all other addresses we’ve covered on our newsletter site.
Elder Renlund in Uruguay - While making a donation to a hospital, he was asked “Where do you (meaning all Latter-day Saints) get your compassion?” His answer is important.

A Worthwhile “Oops”
We prematurely announced last week that a podcast episode/newsletter introducing Elder Gérald Caussé would go live 11/16/25. Sorry to confuse anybody. We made a late schedule shift to bring in a guest we’re excited about. We think you’ll love it and agree it was worth the wait!
