Why do so many discussions begin with a great question and end in awkward silence? In this episode of Deny Us Not Scripture Study, we explore one of the simplest and most effective engagement strategies available to teachers, leaders, and families: Think, Pair, Share. Drawing from proven educational practices, we'll discuss how giving learners time to think, opportunities to discuss, and confidence to share can dramatically increase participation and improve the quality of gospel discussions. Whether you're teaching Sunday School, leading a youth class, participating in a ward council, or conducting family scripture study, this powerful strategy can help move learners from passive listeners to active participants. Discover how intentional engagement can create better discussions, deeper understanding, and greater opportunities for the Spirit to teach and testify.
