My Teaching Matters

The Doctrine and Covenants is a totally different book of scripture and it can be a little bit intimidating when trying to consider how you are going to be consistent in your scripture study and CFM during 2021.  In this episode Linsey and I we talk about how we are going to approach our Doctrine and Covenants study and how you can create your own successful plan for your family.

As intentional parents,  you are concerned about your children developing strong testimonies,  you want them to  know how to get answers to their prayers, you want them to l make good choices.  You want them to know who they are and what their potential is.  You want them to know where to find truth and know that God loves them.  But how do you teach them these important truths ?

In today’s episode we will talk about 1 important principle that  God uses to teach us, His children and how we as parents, can use that same principle to teach our children.

 Christmas is a magical time.  There are so many exciting and wonderful things to talk about around Christmas.   As intentional parents, we see Christmas as a treasure trove of opportunity to teach our children about Christ’s birth, his life, his gift to us, about the true meaning of Christmas.

In this episode, we share lots of ideas of how you, as intentional parents, can use this special time of year to help build your child’s testimony around Christ.

Also, make sure to stick around to the end of the episode, because we have one last surprise idea to share with you from one of our listeners.

Today’s guest Jessica Jackson, host of the Thriving in Motherhood Podcast, shares with us her journey of how she has been able to continue to effectively teach her children the gospel even when she is barely surviving herself.  

By using a few techniques she learned from My Teaching Matters, she has found that she can have confidence in her teaching without adding more to her already full “to do” list.

Her children are learning and growing in the gospel in ways that are meaningful and surprisingly  delightful.

Every parent desires for their children to have their own testimony and be strong in their commitment to the gospel, but how can we as parents help our children obtain their own testimony? 

In  todays episode we look at the power of  inspired invitations.  Pres. Russel M. Nelson is the master of inspired invitations. He knows that it is only through acting on gospel principles will we have a desire for change. Learn how to incorporate the same techniques that Pres. Nelson uses in your own teaching to help your children experience the gospel in a personal and meaningful way.

For many years as a young mother I searched for the perfect parenting manual. I was searching for the secret to raising children with strong testimonies. I was confident that  someone must have figured it out long ago, I just had to find it.

But it wasn’t until my kids were mostly grown that I found what I had been looking for, and it turned out to be a little bit different than I was expecting, but oh so much better.

In this week’s podcast, Linsey and I share What this amazing manual is and a bit of what we’ve discovered by studying it.  We share 3 critical principles that can help you as you focus on raising children who KNOW.

Trying to keep everyone engaged in a gospel lesson can be challenging to say the least.  There is no good solution for keeping a 2 year old and a 12 year old engaged at the same time.  However, in today’s podcast, we will look at what we can expect from children of different ages and how we can adapt our teaching to meet them where they are at.

Using proven teaching theories about how children of different ages learn,  we break down the ages into four different groups:  Pre-school/Kindergarten, 1st through 4th,  5th through 8th, and 9th through 12th.  At each stage we explore how children learn and what that looks like in a home setting.  

We all know that we can receive answers to our prayers, but sometimes learning to recognize those answers is hard!  In today’s episode we talk about 6 specific steps to help us learn how to recognize when the spirit is speaking to us.  Join us as we explore what these steps look like, how to implement them and what to expect along the way.

President Nelson has said, “In coming days, it will not be possible to survive spiritually without the guiding, directing, comforting, and constant influence of the Holy Ghost”.  As parents, not only do we have to learn how to recognize the Holy Ghost on our own, but we need to help our children learn to listen to the Holy Ghost as well.
