Welcome to Seminary Teachers Helping Seminary Teachers—a podcast created to encourage, inspire, and support early-morning seminary teachers. In this episode, we dive into practical teaching helps and spiritual insights to strengthen both you and your students.
We begin with pacing adjustments for Labor Day and explore Doctrine & Covenants 95, focusing on the call to build the Kirtland Temple. Together we consider how to introduce temple teachings to youth in a way that is clear, reverent, and meaningful.
The conversation then turns to the three principles of Acquiring Spiritual Knowledge:
- Acting in faith
- Viewing questions with an eternal perspective
- Turning to divinely appointed sources
You’ll hear ideas, classroom practices, and resources that can help you make these principles a natural part of your teaching and your students’ discipleship.
Whether you’re new to teaching or seasoned in the classroom, this episode offers encouragement, strategies, and gospel-centered perspectives to bless your students and help them anchor their faith in Jesus Christ.
📚 Resources mentioned: Gospel Library app, Doctrinal Mastery Core Document, Gospel Topics essays, and Church history resources.
