Being asked to speak shouldn't mean scrambling for scriptures and structure. Find relevant scriptures by topic, pull inspiring General Conference quotes, and build a talk outline in minutes -- so your message is grounded in scripture and delivered with confidence.
One of the most common experiences in a Latter-day Saint ward is being asked to speak in sacrament meeting on short notice. Whether it's a Sunday morning phone call or an announcement in Sunday School, members often face the challenge of preparing a meaningful talk with limited time. The panic sets in: What scriptures are relevant? How do I structure my thoughts? Where do I find a quote from a recent general conference?
The Talk Builder answers these questions instantly. Enter your assigned topic or scripture, and the tool surfaces all relevant scriptures organized by theme, pulls authoritative quotes from recent General Conference addresses, suggests proven talk structures, and helps you build a coherent outline. Instead of spending an hour flipping through the scriptures and searching for inspiration, you spend 15 minutes surfacing the best material and organizing it into a compelling narrative.
The Talk Builder connects directly to the Come Follow Me curriculum. If you're assigned to speak on a passage from the 2026 Old Testament study, the tool pulls up cross-references, prophetic connections, and related general conference teachings that illustrate how that ancient text applies to modern life. You're not just sharing a personal story; you're building a talk grounded in the scriptural framework your whole ward is studying together.
The result is a sacrament talk that feels prepared and authoritative. Members in the congregation recognize the scriptures you're teaching from. Your outline flows logically. Your quotes from apostles and prophets add doctrinal weight. And because every element is sourced from scripture and official church materials, your message carries confidence and spiritual depth.
Tell the tool what you're speaking about -- a specific scripture, a Come Follow Me assignment, or a general topic like faith, repentance, or the atonement.
The tool surfaces related scriptures organized by theme, pulls relevant General Conference quotes from the last few years, and shows cross-references to help you understand the context.
Use the talk structure templates to organize your material. Add your personal experience, layer in the scriptures and quotes, and save your talk to your journal for easy review before sacrament meeting.
Search for scriptures by doctrine, theme, or key phrase. Get all relevant verses organized by book and context so you can find the perfect scripture in seconds.

Save your talk draft, bookmark key verses, and add personal notes. Your journal builds a library of talks you've given, making future speaking assignments faster and easier.
A typical sacrament meeting talk is 8-12 minutes. The Talk Builder helps you estimate your talk length based on the number of points, scriptures, and stories you include, so you can adjust your outline to fit the time available.
Start with the scripture you were assigned, then use the Scripture Finder to pull related verses that support your main point. The tool shows cross-references and thematic connections, making it easy to find supporting scriptures that reinforce your message.
The Talk Builder includes several opening structures: quote a relevant scripture, tell a brief personal story, ask a thought-provoking question, or reference the current Come Follow Me lesson. Each structure is designed to capture attention and introduce your topic clearly.
