S9E15: Eternity's Great Gifts: Jesus Christ's Atonement, Resurrection, Restoration.

Join Richard and Krista as they explore Elder Gary E. Stevenson’s April 2025 general conference talk, “And We Talk of Christ.” Elder Stevenson teaches the importance of keeping Jesus Christ at the center of our lives. He emphasizes that Christ stands at the heart of His Church and should be the focus of our personal discipleship. Using the example of Easter, he invites us to celebrate the Savior’s Atonement with deeper spiritual purpose, making our worship “higher and holier” and strengthening our connection to Him. Elder Stevenson concludes with a heartfelt testimony that through the Savior’s atoning sacrifice, we can be forgiven, find hope and peace, and return to God’s presence as we repent and follow Him.
