General Conference Talks With 5 Highlights Ready-to-Go
9 Tips for More Class Participation
Shawie – thanks so much for sharing your lessons. It’s been several years since I taught, and I’m teaching in a ward I just moved into a few weeks ago. I don’t really know anyone yet or what resonates with the group. Every time I listened to this talk, so much popped out to me that I was feeling overwhelmed. Your 5 points have really helped reinforce some of my take always and have helped me feel more confident. I love your discussion questions. Thanks so much for sharing!
Samantha, I loved your note the day you wrote it. Sorry I’ve taken a week to reply. I am tickled you like this site and that it helps out. I hope your lesson went well. Blessings to you always.
Hi Shawnie, your lesson highlights have been so beneficial to me as a teacher in Relief Society. I was wondering if you had any suggestions for me as I am scheduled to teach from President Nelson’s talk “Now is the Time,” which is basically a five-minute talk that ends with all of the temples being built. I’m not sure how to make a few paragraphs into an hour lesson. Any suggestions would be helpful, if you have time. Thanks!
That seems to be an oversight because there are like 3 paragraphs besides the opening greeting and the temple announcements. He does refer back to his Spiritual Momentum talk. I would get back to your leader, explain the challenge and ask permission to also pull from his main talk or use his two sentences about that talk and treat it like a review, pulling from that larger talk without talking to anyone. There’s enough material in that talk for 2 or 3 lessons anyway.
Hi Shawnie, I’ve been preparing my RS lesson from Elder Bednar’s talk, “With the Power of God in Great Glory” I’m so grateful for your 5 highlights on this talk. You are definitely right, his talks take effort to study, but it’s definitely worth it! I’m truly grateful for your inspiration and help for me on sharing this discussion with my class.
Wendy, I hope your lesson went wonderfully. Elder Bednar is definitely a keeper. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and encouragement – they go a long ways.
I lead the discussion in Elders quorum once a month, I say lead not teach because I am definitely NOT! a teacher, I really struggle with talking in front of people, be it in class or bearing my testimony, which I’ve only.done once, or the dreaded Sacrament talk! And I struggle to come up with questions for class etc, but since I’ve found this resource, it’s helped alot! I feel almost like km cheating because I’ll use your questions for a specific talk, which for tomorrow is The need for a church, I still struggle and am still uncomfortable leading but I appreciate your hard work and effort that helps those of us that need some guidance!
I loved everything you shared in your comment. Other people need to hear it because most people called to teach feel inadequate or nervous. That is normal – and no wonder – it really is a big deal to get up in front of people. The Savior designed his Church to grow us and this is definitely a growth experience. I used to be a terrible teacher. Somehow I kept getting called and I figured a few things out along the way. Bless your heart. I would love to be in your class when you teach.
Thank you slot of people tell me I’m doing good but it sure doesnt feel like I to me! But like we’re taught, we sometimes get callings not for what we can do for others but what can help us grow.
I couldn’t agree more Shane! I love this website
Thank you Mic – what a delightful comment!
I have the hardest time simplifying when I teach. Your tips have been an answer to prayer, literally.
Your comment is so touching. I am pleased to connect with you! Blessings to you as you lift the faith of others.
I am a counselor in our Relief Society and I am so grateful for your work! It doesn’t often happen, but sometimes one of our teachers can’t make it and I have to step in with only a day or two to prepare. Your lesson helps save me! They give me an outline (well more than that, actually) and enable me to put together an emergency lesson with very little stress.
I really appreciate it, thanks!
Bless your heart for all you do for your sisters. I’ve been in that spot a few times myself.
