Watching the Savior walk on water was awe-inspiring, but Peter wanted to "do what the Savior did, be where He was, and have the same experience himself". When Jesus gave the simple invitation to "Come," Peter leaped from the boat, demonstrating that true "discipleship is not a passive experience". It requires both faith in Christ and diligent effort. This training video for Early Morning Seminary teachers demonstrates how to help your students step out of the boat and become active participants in their gospel learning.
In this video, you will learn how to:
- Encourage Action: Understand that true learning isn't just listening or reading, but is actually "changing, repenting, and progressing"
- Foster Independence: "Help learners take responsibility for their learning"
by teaching them that faith involves "acting for ourselves, not simply being acted upon"
- Promote Preparation: Discover ways to "Invite learners to prepare to learn"
and "Encourage learners to come to know the Savior by studying the gospel daily"
- Invite Sharing: Learn to effectively "Encourage learners to share the truths they are learning" with the class.
- Apply the Doctrine: "Invite learners to live what they are learning"
so that they can learn "by study and also by faith"
