Welcome to Seminary Teachers Helping Seminary Teachers! As we move into February, we tackle one of the most significant chapters in the Pearl of Great Price: Moses 7. In this episode, we explore how Enoch helped established the City of Zion and what that teaches us about community, the Temple, and the nature of God.

In this discussion, we cover:
• Defining Zion: How to help students understand what it means to be of "one heart and one mind" by comparing it to their own experiences in teams, choirs, or families.
• The Weeping God: Moving beyond the idea of an angry deity to understand a Father who weeps because His children have ceased to love one another.
• Tough Topics: How to handle the verses about the "seed of Cain" using the designated Scripture Helps to avoid confusion and false doctrine.
• Life Prep: A shift in focus to missionary work—discussing how to help students share the gospel naturally and the power of inviting friends to read the "same Bible" in a different light.
Whether you are discussing the theology of a weeping God or the practical application of inviting a friend to class, we hope this conversation helps you teach with confidence.
