What happens when we bring the best principles of education into our gospel teaching? In this episode of Deny Us Not Scripture Study, we explore the connection between church and education and challenge the idea that preparation and planning somehow limit the Spirit. Meaningful discussions don't happen by accident—they happen when teachers intentionally prepare, understand their learners, ask purposeful questions, and create opportunities for engagement. We'll discuss practical strategies for planning lessons, councils, and family discussions that invite participation, deepen learning, and make room for the Holy Ghost to teach and testify. Faithful teaching isn't about choosing between planning and the Spirit—it's about using preparation to create the conditions where inspired learning can flourish.
