This was a remarkable year for Latter-day Saints in a lot of ways.

Again, it speaks to the hinge point President Nelson talked about.

He says, take your vitamins. There's more work to be done.

You had mentioned President Oakes, and he talked about that we each need to have our political

and moral agency.

And then President Holland talked about that we don't check our faith at the door when we

move forward, whether that's at work or whatever we're doing.

So there's a lot of responsibility that we have as Latter-day Saints, as individuals, as disciples

of Jesus Christ, to not only move the work forward, to be good citizens in whatever country

we're in, to do the best we can to lift others.

I mean, the doctrine of Jesus Christ is extremely simple in principle, but I'm really taken by the strength of the prophetic words that

are coming from the leadership of the church to help us navigate these tumultuous times.

This is John Ryan Jensen, editor of the Church News.

Welcome to the Church News podcast. Today we're taking

you on a journey of connection as we discuss news and events of the Church of Jesus Christ of

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. From the 100th birthday of President Russell M. Nelson to the dedication of the church's

200th temple, many milestones marked the year's path.
