What if the key to better gospel teaching isn't more discussion, but greater clarity? In this episode of Deny Us Not Scripture Study, we explore the power of learning targets—simple, intentional statements that help teachers and learners stay focused on what truly matters. Drawing from educational research and gospel teaching principles, we'll discuss how learning targets can improve Sunday School lessons, family scripture study, councils, and other learning settings. Discover how defining a clear purpose for your lesson can create more meaningful discussions, stronger engagement, and greater opportunities for the Spirit to teach and testify. Because effective gospel teaching begins with knowing where you're trying to go.
