When Jesus asked His disciples, "Whom say ye that I am?", He was inviting them to look inside their own hearts and receive an answer not from "flesh and blood," but directly from the Father. This training video for Early Morning Seminary teachers emphasizes that while you cannot give your students a testimony, you must create opportunities for the Holy Ghost to provide one.
In this video, you will learn how to:
• Encourage Seeking: Understand that you cannot give students a witness, but you can "invite, encourage, inspire, and teach them to seek it".
• Set the Stage: Recognize that simple things, such as "the arrangement of the chairs" or the way you "greet and interact with learners," set the spiritual tone.
• Invite Responsibility: Teach learners to "take responsibility for the spirit they bring" and prepare themselves to learn.
• Build on the Rock: Help students obtain a personal witness that will become a "rock" for them so that "the gates of hell shall not prevail against [them]".
