He has found its allurements powerful and addictive.

After each encounter with this sleazy stuff, Bill has felt sickened, ashamed, and worthless inside.

Bill attended General Conference a few weeks ago.

My name is Todd, and today I have with me my son, Lawson.

How are you today, Lawson? I'm doing good.

But there are hundreds of people that are going in there.

And while I spent a lot of time ministering to them, one of those times I found myself was over at the General Conference Center.

We walked in.

I'm kind of looking around the area with a couple of other friends.

And so they grabbed us and they started escorting us out, physically escorting us out, threw us off the property, took some pictures of us, gave us a 90-day trespass.

And that was the end of that specific situation.

And so that was in the actual General Conference building?

That was in the General Conference building.

Welcome to the Natasha Helper podcast,

where we are talking today as part of the symmetry panel, symmetry counseling team panel, in regards to the general conference that just occurred for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which is is also known as the Mormon Church in regards to kind of colloquialism.

In President Russell M. Nelson's April 2020 General Conference message, he presented the restoration of the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

a bicentennial proclamation to the world from the First Presidency and Council of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

I compiled this list while reading the messages from the April 2026 General Conference, looking for invitations given to us there.

I pared it down from 40 to 10.

You're welcome.
