I love teaching the gospel! I enjoy preparing and teaching lessons. I have spent a significant amount of time trying to become a better gospel teacher. I feel that I have picked up a lot of good information along the way. Quite a while ago, I had an itch to organize the things that I have learned about teaching the gospel. I let that itch simmer, until I could no longer hold it in. I decided to write articles covering different topics related to gospel teaching. Eventually, it made sense that I should put these into blog form, in the hope that it could help others.
I feel that there is a great need in the Church today for powerful gospel teachers. My hope is that I can be used as an instrument to improve the quality of teaching in the Church.
I have been on a quest to improve my teaching for many years. This journey started as a teenage missionary. I quickly discovered that I had virtually no ability to communicate an idea to another human. I figured that if I’m going to be doing this for 2 years, and then the rest of my life, I’d better learn how. I dedicated myself fully to becoming a better gospel teacher. Since those “best two years”, I have continued on my teaching journey, both inside and outside of the church.
Inside the church, I have served as a Ward Missionary, Sunday School instructor, Sunday School President, Elders Quorum President, Stake Institute teacher, and Stake Seminary teacher.
Outside of the church, I have been involved in training for 3 different companies, been on panels, given several presentations, and taught classes for a test preparation relating to my profession.
Through all of these experiences, I have been forced to grow as a teacher. This has brought me to the bookstore, the internet, and to my knees in prayer. This blog will comprise the lessons I have picked up along the way.
