John C. Pingree Jr.

General Authority Seventy (April 1, 2017 – present)

General Conference Addresses

• October 2023 General Conference
  • Eternal Truth
    • “Truth is critical for us to establish and strengthen our relationship with God, find peace and joy, and reach our divine potential.”
    • “Finally, you and I play a crucial role in this process. God expects us to seek, recognize, and act on truth. Our ability to receive and apply truth is dependent on the strength of our relationship with the Father and the Son, our responsiveness to the influence of the Holy Ghost, and our alignment with latter-day prophets.”
    • “We need to remember that Satan works to keep us from truth. He knows that without truth, we cannot gain eternal life. He weaves strands of truth with worldly philosophies to confuse us and distract us from what is communicated by God.”
    • “Truth taught without love can cause feelings of judgment, discouragement, and loneliness. It often leads to resentment and division—even conflict. On the other hand, love without truth is hollow and lacks the promise of growth.”
• October 2017 General Conference
  • I Have a Work for Thee
    • “God has important work for each of us.”
    • “These divine assignments are not reserved for a privileged few but are for all of us—regardless of gender, age, race, nationality, income level, social status, or Church calling. Every one of us has a meaningful role to play in furthering God’s work.”
    • “As we discover our gifts, we have a responsibility to develop them.”
    • “Our trials help us discover and prepare for the work Heavenly Father has for us.”
    • “Rely on God. When we ask Him in faith with real intent, He will reveal our divine assignments to us.”
    • “Sin is perhaps our greatest stumbling block, dulling our sensitivity to the Holy Ghost and restricting our access to spiritual power.”
