Testimony, Altars, and Covenant Belonging | Saturday Afternoon Session Highlights | Oct 2025

In this episode of New & Everlasting: The Podcast Finding Covenant Joy in Everyday Living, Amy Beck recaps the Saturday Afternoon Session of the October 2025 General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

From testimony and sacrifice to belonging and growth, each talk carried a witness of covenant joy and divine connection:

• Elder Ronald A. Rasband — Reflections on the 30th anniversary of The Family: A Proclamation to the World and how its revealed principles still guide families in every circumstance.

• Chad H. Webb — The Holy Ghost as the perfect tutor in lifelong discipleship.

• Elder Jeremy R. Jaggi — The power of altars and personal sacrifice as symbols of our willingness to draw near to God.

• Elder Kevin G. Brown — A bold testimony of the Holy Ghost’s witness and the eternal nature of personal testimony.

• Elder Gerrit W. Gong — Covenant belonging and Christlike inclusion in a worldwide church family.

• Elder Michael Cziesla — The small and simple things that sustain faith through generations.

• Elder Quentin L. Cook — The joy of nurturing new and returning members as we all walk the covenant path.

Amy also shares her own reflections on these powerful messages and invites listeners to record or write down their personal impressions while the Spirit is fresh.
