Downloaded from: http://seminarymoments.blogspot.com/2014/03/alma-32-seeds-of-faith.html What verse in Alma 32 has the word SEED in it?

Hint: verse 28S wellE nlargeE nlightenD elicious

Lee said we often want to see the end from the beginning or the outcome before we will follow the Lord’s direction. I handed out this…

Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/09/16/1-nephi-7-family-faith-forgiveness/ Because of pacing issues I was tempted to just summarize 1 Nephi 7 with story-line and move on to 1 Nephi 8 with the Tree of Life. But I had had a couple of other teachers (online friends) share their good experiences with 1 Nephi 7 and in an effort to fulfill the aim of […]
Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/08/29/day-3-the-fundamentals-of-gospel-teaching-and-learning/ First of all, if you have an LDS Account that will let you access the resources to si.lds.org, then you will want to explore the resources at: https://si.lds.org/improving-teaching?lang=eng#/improving-teaching/gospel-teaching-learning/fundamentals One of my favorite resources from that section that I like to use often is: President Erying discusses “little changes” that make the difference between the “casual way” and the […]

Once we had a few on the board, we discussed each one by completing the BECAUSE… […]
Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/05/06/2-peter-1-3-ladder-day-saints/ We began by having the Young Women recite the Young Women’s Theme. Then I asked the students to look for one of the values that Peter mentions in 2 Peter 1:1-4. Once they identified “divine nature”, I asked them to explain what it meant. It was surprising to them that they did not really understand what “divine […]

The positive feedback that I received from the students as a result of this lesson makes me feel that it may have been their best experience all year. They felt like they could really evaluate where they stand as a member of the Church, and they absolutely LOVED being able […]
Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/04/30/james-1-5-disciples-with-gusto-live-life-in-crescendo/ To understand more about how this lesson you will need to read the excerpts that I have included at the end of the post from Grant C. Anderson, “Living a Life in Crescendo” (Religious Educator 5, no. 2 (2004): 19–27). I have edited his talk to include those parts that I felt are relevant to the students […]
Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/04/30/james-1-2-doers-just-do/ This lesson goes really well this April’s Come Follow Me curriculum on the Restoration. We started off with some background on who James was (see Bible Dictionary, third entry under James and James, Epistle of) so that we could establish some “street cred” and determine the importance his writings may have.
