General conference staple of equating a relationship with the church with a relationship with Jesus, and asking members in mixed faith families to essentially double down on their non-believing family.

Every single mention of "Christ" was really a euphemism for "the church."

Causse: This talk feels much more Christ-centered. Less church-centered.

It's really about 50/50 Jesus and Joseph. All of the talk about BoM characters depends entirely on one source: Joseph Smith.

I like the talk. I wish he would talk about those who never feel forgiven, not because they are evil, but because of mental and emotional issues.
