Be Optimistic: An invitation from President and Prophet, Dallin H. Oaks

President Dallin H. Oaks became the 18th President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints six months ago. During the short time he has carried the holy mantle as the Lord’s Prophet to the world, President Oaks has taught about the role of temples in God’s plan for His children, the responsibility to share the gospel, and the need to look forward with optimism. On this Church News podcast conference radio special, Church News editor Ryan Jensen guides listeners through President Oaks’ recent messages, and introduces the newest leader of the Church through his own words and those of his family, wife, and fellow leaders.
