OM DENNE EPISODE
How can we help learners move beyond simply reading the scriptures to truly discovering the truths they contain?
In this episode of Deny Us Not Scripture Study, we conclude our three-part series on discussion strategies by exploring practical ways to make scripture study more engaging, interactive, and Christ-centered. Rather than relying on teachers to explain every principle, we'll discuss how to help learners become active investigators of the scriptures—searching for patterns, promises, invitations, and insights through the guidance of the Holy Ghost.
You'll learn simple techniques that can be used in Sunday School, Primary, youth classes, Relief Society, elders quorum, ward councils, family scripture study, and personal gospel study to encourage meaningful participation and lasting spiritual growth. We'll also tie together the principles of Notice, Wonder, Connect and The Power of Better Questions into a practical framework that transforms passive reading into shared discovery.
When learners know how to study the scriptures—not just what was studied—they leave with skills that will strengthen their testimony and bless them for a lifetime. Join us as we explore how searching the scriptures together can create richer discussions, deeper conversion, and greater opportunities for the Spirit to teach.
