## Resource

This episode of Teaching Restored discusses the importance of teaching directly from the scriptures, not just summarizing or retelling familiar gospel stories. Kevin) and Kyle share practical advice and examples of how scripture-centered teaching invites the Spirit, deepens understanding, and helps students learn to seek personal revelation. Teachers are encouraged to create interactive, meaningful experiences in their classrooms—even if it feels a bit messy—because that's when the most powerful learning happens. 1. Teach from the Scriptures: Using actual scripture in your lessons lets the Lord teach what matters most and prevents us from unintentionally spreading incorrect assumptions or traditions. 2. Create Real Experiences: Help students become active learners by inviting them to search, mark, and question as they read; this helps them build their own faith and understanding. 3. Let Learning Be Messy: Gospel learning isn’t about perfection—it’s about growth for both students and teachers, so don’t be afraid if lessons don’t go as planned. ______________ Subscribe for more free YouTube episodes: https://www.youtube.com/teachingrestored?sub_confirmation=1 Find all episodes: https://teachingrestored.com Ask a question for us to answer on our podcast: https://teachingrestored.com/contact-us/ Join us on: ✅ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/teachingrestored ✅ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/teachingrestored ✅ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@teachingrestored ✅ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@teachingrestored
