Grumpy Dispositions & Comforting Your Neighbors—Elder Patrick Kearon R&R

About this episode

The episode discusses accountability and personal growth following Elder Patrick Kearon's General Conference talk.

03/13/2026 S6E69, Episode #230 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ , Return & Report for ⁠Elder Patrick Kearon's October 2025 General Conference talk, " Jesus Christ and Your New Beginning ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠." Mitch, Clay, and our Australian guest, Gary Woodward, covered this talk in depth several months ago (Episode 186) and committed to each take action on at least one of Elder Kearon's invitations. This Return & Report episode is where we hold ourselves accountable and share how it went, what we learned, and how we can improve. We chat about grumpy dispositions, good books by an LDS author, being more aware of our neighbors' trials, and more. R&R episodes have little to do with "rest & relaxation." They are where the "APPLIED" of General Conference Applied really comes to life. We invite you to take action too and let us know how it goes.
