dahlia Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 I forgot why I came here in the first place tonight ... My office mate frequently asks me questions about the Church. For some reason, today we talked about Conference (yes, I know it's coming, I just don't know why the topic came up at work). He's a young guy, around 30 or so. He's pretty open to stuff and has never said anything negative in response to anything I've said. And yeah, I should probably invite him to church, but we are in close quarters and I don't want to make it difficult for either of us to come in every day. Anyway, I thought I might give him a Conference talk, but have no clue what would be a good choice (or, I don't want to spend 2 hours looking for an appropriate talk). I think I'd like to give him something meant for young men or something about being a priesthood holder that doesn't start from the assumption that the listener knows a lot of LDS theology. Maybe something that focuses on the manly man aspects of the priesthood - family leadership, provident living, and just being a goodly man. Any suggestions? Any favorite talks that you like to give to young men? Thanks. Just_A_Guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just_A_Guy Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Uchtdorf’s “Behold the Man” from last conference doesn’t exactly fit the bill for being geared towards men, but it’s pretty good about not presuming the listener is strongly versed in Mormon theology.

zil Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 This page shows topics for conference talks: https://www.lds.org/general-conference/topics?lang=eng It includes fatherhood, family, self-reliance, integrity, etc. Maybe that will help you narrow it down. dahlia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunday21 Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) I always give people a talk by Bro Holland. He is a very wonderful speaker and his talks touch the soul. https://www.lds.org/church/leader/jeffrey-r-holland?lang=eng Songs Sung and Unsung is emotive.

What does this mean? "The responses ranged from surprising and strange to insightful and thought-provoking. Among them, the day when a prehistoric asteroid struck the Yucatán Peninsula" https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2018/04/behold-the-man?lang=eng Thank you, Gale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
