    Studying the Scriptures Together

    How can we help learners move beyond simply reading the scriptures to truly discovering the truths they contain? In this episode of Deny Us Not Scripture Study, we conclude our three-part series on discussion strategies by exploring practical ways to make scripture study more engaging, interactive, and Christ-centered. Rather than relying on teachers to explain every principle, we'll discuss how to help learners become active investigators of the scriptures—searching for patterns, promises, invitations, and insights through the guidance of the Holy Ghost. You'll learn simple techniques that can be used in Sunday School, Primary, youth classes, Relief Society, elders quorum, ward councils, family scripture study, and personal gospel study to encourage meaningful participation and lasting spiritual growth. We'll also tie together the principles of Notice, Wonder, Connect and The Power of Better Questions into a practical framework that transforms passive reading into shared discovery. When learners know how to study the scriptures—not just what was studied—they leave with skills that will strengthen their testimony and bless them for a lifetime. Join us as we explore how searching the scriptures together can create richer discussions, deeper conversion, and greater opportunities for the Spirit to teach.

    Asking Better Questions

    The quality of a gospel discussion is often determined by the quality of the questions we ask. In this episode of Deny Us Not Scripture Study, we explore how thoughtful, Christ-centered questions can transform Sunday School, Primary, youth classes, quorum and Relief Society meetings, ward councils, and family scripture study from passive conversations into meaningful experiences of discovery and revelation. You'll learn a practical framework for asking four types of gospel questions—observation, interpretation, reflection, and application—and discover why open-ended questions invite deeper participation, richer testimony, and greater opportunities for the Holy Ghost to teach. We'll also discuss the importance of wait time, effective follow-up questions, and creating discussions that feel like invitations rather than quizzes. Join us as we learn from the Master Teacher, Jesus Christ, whose inspired questions invited people not just to think differently, but to become different. Great gospel teaching doesn't begin with having all the answers—it begins with asking better questions.

    Every Voice Matters

    The Savior didn't simply teach crowds—He invited individuals to participate, ask questions, and discover truth. In this episode of Deny Us Not Scripture Study, we explore practical strategies for creating gospel learning environments where every voice is welcomed and every learner has an opportunity to contribute. Whether you're teaching Sunday School, Primary, Young Men, Young Women, Relief Society, elders quorum, or leading a ward council or family scripture study, you'll learn how intentional discussion structures can move classes beyond a handful of frequent commenters and invite meaningful participation from everyone. Discover how creating a culture of belonging, listening, and shared learning not only strengthens discussions but also provides a deeper well for the Holy Ghost to draw from as learners teach, testify, and minister to one another. When every voice matters, gospel learning becomes more than a lesson—it becomes a Christ-centered community of disciples learning together.

    Building A Gospel Learning Community

    Restorative Circles – Creating Gospel Discussions Where Every Voice Matters Meaningful gospel discussions don't happen because we ask more questions—they happen because we create a space where people feel safe to share. In this episode of Deny Us Not Scripture Study, we explore how the principles of restorative circles can strengthen gospel learning in Sunday School, youth classes, quorum and Relief Society meetings, ward councils, and family scripture study. Rather than focusing on solving problems, restorative circles create opportunities for every learner to be seen, heard, and valued. You'll learn practical ways to build trust, encourage respectful participation, and invite every member of your class into the conversation. Drawing on both educational research and gospel principles, this episode demonstrates how intentional community-building prepares hearts for the Holy Ghost to teach and testify. When every voice matters, learners become more than passive listeners—they become a true gospel learning community, united in seeking Jesus Christ together.

    Know Who We Teach Before We Know What We Teach

    Great gospel discussions don't happen by accident—they happen when people feel safe enough to participate. In this episode of Deny Us Not Scripture Study, we explore why building community is one of the most important responsibilities of every gospel teacher. Before learners will share their thoughts, ask sincere questions, or testify of their faith, they need to know they belong. Drawing on principles from education, implementation science, and the Savior's ministry, this episode examines how creating a culture of trust, respect, and connection prepares hearts for the Holy Ghost to teach. You'll discover practical ideas for helping every member of your class, quorum, council, or family feel seen, heard, and valued. Whether you teach Sunday School, Primary, Young Men, Young Women, Relief Society, elders quorum, or lead family scripture study, you'll leave with simple strategies to strengthen relationships and create gospel learning experiences where every voice matters. Because before we teach the lesson, we teach the people.
