03/03/2026 S6E62, Episode #223⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠Elder ⁠Kelly R. Johnson⁠⁠, General Authority Seventy of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠October 2025 General Conference⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠"⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Be Reconciled to God⁠."⁠⁠

Clay and Mitch were joined by Brock Stewart, a skilled forensic accountant who knows Elder Johnson very well from working alongside him for many years. Brock helped us better understand Elder Johnson's accounting analogy to reconcile ourselves to God. We also went deeper into Elder Johnson's cherry shaker metaphor to better understand how to become "unshaken."

This episode touches on daily repentance, reconciling with God, strengthening our faith, getting out of stagnation, helping others grow, and much more.
