Summary
Have you ever caught yourself saying things like “exercise the atonement,” or “I know the Church is true” without really thinking about what those phrases mean? In this episode, Kevin Jones and Julie Hilliard dive into the world of “glib gospel phrases”—those shortcut sayings we use in Church that can lose their true meaning and power, especially with youth, new members, or visitors. They’ll share real-life stories (including an awkward but hilarious Sunday School moment!) and offer practical tips for making our language in lessons, prayers, and testimonies more thoughtful, reverent, and focused on Jesus Christ. Whether you teach Primary, Youth, Relief Society, Elders Quorum, or just want to strengthen discussions at home, you’ll find ideas to make your teaching more authentic—and help everyone feel the true spirit of the gospel. Share YOUR most-used glib phrase in the comments and call us out—we want to grow too! ______________ 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
