“On Sunday we watch General Conference, and then we go to work on Monday.” —Coach Kalani Sitake, Cougar Postgame Live

A recurring theme at the Saturday afternoon session of the October 2026 general conference was Jesus Christ’s power to lift His children. Speakers taught that the Savior of the world provides peace in times of grief, strength in moments of weakness, guidance through uncertainty and hope for individuals and families seeking His help. One highlight: Elder Ronald A. Rasband (@RonaldARasband) spoke to those whose hearts ache for loved ones who have strayed from the covenant path. He taught that while family members and friends cannot change another person’s heart, Jesus Christ can. Encouraging listeners to trust in the Savior’s love and redeeming power, he testified that through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, there is always a way back. The Apostle said Christlike love remains a powerful influence in the lives of those who have chosen other paths. “Love is not stepping back or sanctioning others’ decisions and actions,” Elder Rasband said. “Love is being interested in their lives, their successes, and their challenges. Love is being there with arms outstretched and a cheerful countenance. Love is lifting with faith and hope in our Lord and Savior. Love relies upon the calming influence of the Holy Ghost.” Learn more on Church Newsroom. newsroom.churchofjesuschrist…

We are human beings have a value that extends beyond this moment, this place. We are meant to be here, we are meant to exist, we are meant to be part to be part of bigger purpose, we are essential. - Ross Douthat #BYUDevo

"There is a strong sense of human obsolescence upon us, which began with the advent of the internet and has just increased since then. In this environment, the necessity of belief and religion are increasing. - Ross Douthat #BYUDevo

Some of the foundations behind belief include the following: 1. The existence of the fine-tuned universe and cosmos 2. The fact of human consciousness 3. The persistence of spiritual experience through history - Ross Douthat #BYUDevo

"Sin, at its most fundamental level, is not mere rule breaking. It is turning away from Christ—and at its worst, rejection, betrayal, disloyalty. And we all do it, in one way or another. But keeping the commandments and our covenants is an act of love and loyalty—it’s our invitation for Christ to abide with us." - Elder Dushku #BYUDevo

"I fear that some of the ways we talk can obscure how deeply personal Christ’s love for us is. We sometimes speak as if The Atonement is an impersonal entity or power we can appeal to or 'apply.' [...] It is Jesus Christ who saves us." - Elder Dushku #BYUDevo

"Christ never fails you. It’s not in His nature. His love for you is all consuming. He knows you, loves you, and has paid the ultimate price for you." - Elder Dushku #BYUDevo

"We sometimes feel all this pressure to perfect ourselves when the truth is that only Christ can perfect us. The question is whether we’ll choose to let Him." - Elder Dushku #BYUDevo

"You have so much of your lives in front of you. You may well live for another seven decades! But life passes quickly. Now is the time to cross the Rubicon of faith and never look back. Now is the time to decide to be all in for the Lord." - Elder Alexander Dushku #BYUDevo
