Episode 27: "Go and Do Likewise" - Elder James E. Evanson with Garth McDonald

Описание: 🎙️ Episode 27: “Go and Do Likewise” — Elder James E. Evanson (with Special Guest Garth McDonald)

In this week’s episode of Conference TALKS_, we explore Elder James E. Evanson’s General Conference message, _“Go and Do Likewise.” Joined by our special guest *Garth McDonald*, we reflect on the sacred role of service in both missionary work and everyday discipleship.

Together, we discuss how service becomes the Lord’s hands in the lives of others, and why simple acts of kindness, connection, and compassion often open the door to trust, love, and meaningful opportunities to share gospel truths. This conversation is a reminder that we do not need grand gestures to make a difference—often it is the quiet, consistent ways we show up for others that matter most.
