    E114: Becoming Gospel Mechanics: Making Deep Doctrine Simple, Real, and Powerful with Brent Top

    In this episode of Teaching Restored, Brent Top joins Kevin and Julie to explore how to teach complex gospel principles in a way that truly connects with people’s lives. Brent Top introduces the idea of being a “gospel mechanic”—breaking down deep doctrines into simple, understandable parts and then letting learners piece them together for themselves. The discussion covers real-life experiences from the mission field, handling tough gospel questions, and how authentic listening can lead to real learning and growth. Instead of just providing answers, teachers are encouraged to guide discovery and help others see how gospel pieces fit together in their own lives. This approach makes learning the gospel easy, meaningful, and spiritually powerful for everyone involved. 1. Break it Down to Build it Up: Make even the deepest gospel subjects simple and relatable by breaking them into smaller pieces students can connect and assemble themselves. 2. Let Learners Discover: True conversion happens when individuals put the gospel puzzle together rather than just being told the answers—guide with questions, not just explanations. 3. Focus on Real Connection: Successful teaching is rooted in authenticity and listening; sometimes, the most powerful lessons come from letting others share and process their own challenges.

    E113: Teaching FROM the Scriptures, Not ABOUT Them with Kyle Smith

    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

    E111: Making Invitations Matter: How to Inspire Real Change in Gospel Teaching

    Julie and Kevin explore the art of giving meaningful invitations in teaching the restored gospel. They discuss why traditional methods often fall flat and explore how real invitations combine encouragement, enticement, and inspiration to promote lasting change. The episode unpacks scriptural patterns, practical teaching strategies, and the need for personal revelation in linking invitations to daily discipleship. 1. Effective Invitations Are More Than Words: Just saying "I invite you to..." isn’t enough; true invitations should be inspiring and enticing. 2. Connect Invitations to Promised Blessings: Focusing on the blessings and “enticements” helps learners see the value and motivation behind acting. 3. Make Invitations Relevant and Personalized: The Spirit is the real inviter—facilitate discussion so each person discovers their unique invitation. 4. Daily Application Is Key: The best invitations prompt small, daily actions rather than one-off tasks, aligning with patterns of discipleship and personal growth. In this episode, Julie and Kevin discuss the topic of how to extend invitations that actually inspire change. They challenge the typical, formulaic way gospel teachers make invitations and discover a richer approach found in scripture—one that goes beyond simple requests to real enticement and inspiration. Real-life examples and personal experiences highlight the need for blessings-focused discussions and individualized application. The hosts teach that facilitating Spirit-led invitations in lessons and connecting them to daily habits has far greater impact. By the end, listeners are encouraged to move away from blanket invitations and towards fostering personal revelation and meaningful action. ______________ 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

    E109: Flip the Script: Are We Doing Home-Centered Church Supported Right?

    Discover how “flipped” church learning can transform your gospel study at home and church into powerful, hands-on spiritual growth. 1. The “flipped” classroom model works for gospel learning—study at home, then apply together at church. 2. Church can become a spiritual “lab” for practical application, problem-solving, and real discussion, not just lectures. 3. True understanding comes from engaging both mind and heart, not just memorizing information. 4. Creating active councils invites everyone to contribute, drives motivation, and increases spiritual growth individually and as a group. Julie and Kevin break down how switching from traditional lecturing to a “flipped” church model can supercharge gospel learning. Instead of just absorbing information at church, members prepare at home, then collaborate, solve problems, and counsel together in class—making church a spiritual lab. They share real-world examples from elders quorum, illustrating how breaking into small group councils generates powerful solutions and deeper engagement. The episode emphasizes that motivation comes easier when everyone feels accountable and sees real impact from their ideas—especially youth. Ultimately, embracing this approach empowers genuine home-centered gospel growth and transforms teachers and learners alike. ______________ 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
