Hello, Doer of the word! Let's dive into the invitations from President Henry B. Eyring's October 2025 General Conference address, "Proved and Strengthened in Christ."
Invitations
"The Lord teaches that we are to continue to grow and never tire in our efforts, that we never give up, that we keep trying. … [R]emain faithful in our service."
Application Idea: Interview your parents or grandparents and ask them to explain why they have remained active in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints throughout their lives.
"[C]ontinue to have faith in Jesus Christ—even when things might feel impossible to us at the moment. … [T]rust Him."
Application Idea: Watch the First Presidency's interview with Jane Clayson Johnson ("New First Presidency Discusses Key Issues and Shares Hopes for the World") and pay attention to the First Presidency's use of the word "trust."

General Conference Applied S6 E8. Amazon Music | Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube. Our guest, Mitch Park, took us to the book of Mosiah, chapter 24, where we read about the people of Alma the Elder "[submitting] cheerfully and with patience to all the will of the Lord." Mitch Park then shared the sacred experience of how this verse - and others - brought his parents comfort during his dad's losing battle with leukemia.

Take Action
Clay's Application: President Eyring said, "If we trust [Jesus], He will make our spiritual power equal to every trial we are called to bear." I'll journal what I learned about the metallurgic processes and pray for help to see my challenges as the very methods whereby the Lord is strengthening me and helping me become what He wants me to be.
Mitch's Application: I want to learn more about the people of Alma the Elder and how they "continued to have faith in Jesus Christ, even when things felt impossible." I will study the following two resources to learn from these righteous people: 1) Mosiah chapters 23 and 24; 2) Elder David A. Bednar's April 2014 General Conference address, "Bear Up Their Burdens with Ease."
Your Application: Reply to this email and tell us how you'll take action on one of these invitations and whether we can share your response in our newsletter, podcast, and/or on social media.
