E48: How to Help Youth to Teach
A youth has the lesson to teach next Sunday. Do you say, "There you go!" and hope they teach a good lesson? What if they don't? How can you help them be successful? Kevin and Julie talk about how to help the youth teach classes and help to help them succeed. It's a fine line between doing it yourself and letting them go at it alone. Here is some of what is included: Personal Stories Make a Difference: Discover how incorporating personal anecdotes can enhance our lessons and talks, making them more relatable and impactful. Building Confidence First: Julie shares her strategy of starting with confidence-building before introducing deeper, challenging questions to avoid creating insecurity in students early on. Effective Preparation Techniques: Get insights on how to prepare spiritually and practically for teaching, tapping into the power of prayer, pondering, and proactive thinking. Encouraging Introspective Questions: Learn how to motivate students to ask deep, thought-provoking questions that go beyond surface-level understanding. Creating Engaging Main Points: Focus on developing a clear main point for discussions to avoid overwhelming our audience and ensure rich, meaningful dialogue. https://teachingrestored.com
E47: Dealing with Disruptive Class Members (Listener Question)
"We have some people who are derailing the class, who are long winded and they contradict others. They take over the class, in a way, and disrupt the flow of what she's trying to teach, which is frustrating for every teacher." Have you ever been in that position? We all have. It's tough. So how do we deal with it? How do we create a healthy classroom culture where each member has enough trust in the others that they can share what might be intimate feelings? Kevin and Julie answer a question that was submitted and discuss ways to help turn around a classroom culture from a bit toxic and long-winded to containing psychological safety so all can participate. https://teachingrestored.com
E46: How to Help Youth Share Their Testimonies
Too many times we teach the youth and we speak at them. When we do, they shut up. They don't share. Not their feelings, not their testimonies, not anything sometimes. But if we don't talk, neither will they! So what do we do? Julie takes us through a discussion on... - What a testimony REALLY is - How do we help the youth articulate their testimony - How do we create an environment where they feel comfortable sharing it. Using the tips shared, you will find that their testimonies will flow naturally, without coercion, and they will be sincere. With practical things you can take away, we are sure you are going to love the discussion and the insights you will be able to use when you teach the Savior's youth.
E45: 5 Ways to Teach your Family at Home
How many times have we wanted to teach our family the gospel, so we model it after the classes at church? We gather everyone around and a parent leads a discussion and speaks way too much and the kids are not engaged. After a few times of doing this, they dread "family scripture study" and you want to give up. Instead of teaching the same way they learn at church, how else can we teach our family the gospel? We talk about teaching by... - Discussions - Environment - Habits - Circumstances - Example
E44: Increase Faith with Experiences
Once you give an invitation to act on what they have learned, now what? How do we take the information and create experiences that change lives? In this episode, Julie uses the scientific process to teach us how to act and build faith. We look at Experimenting with Faith, Primary vs. Secondary Questions, Faith vs. Perfect Knowledge. Data Collection and Evidence in Faith, and much more.
