Gone are the days of Teacher Development classes and Inservice. Even Visiting Teaching Training has gone by the wayside. I ran across a talk, given by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland that should be studied and cherished by every teacher of gospel study. I hope it touches you as much as it has me.<\/p>\n

\"holland\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The original talk was given at a Church Educational System conference in August of 2000 and can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was shortened and revised for an Ensign article in January 2003 and can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Elder Holland strikes at the cords of every one of our hearts. That\u2019s why we love him so much. This talk does not disappoint. As I read through it, I came up with my own short list of what teachers should focus on. He leaves a powerful message, one that we would be wise to incorporate in our own teaching whether it be at Church, during a Visiting Teaching visit, or at home with our children.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

BE RESPONSIBLE IN YOUR CALLING AS A TEACHER<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are many teachers, some called for a period of time, others for a lifetime. It is a great responsibility, because a \u201cgospel teacher\u201d has been called to teach and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. It would \"images<\/a>be an interesting exercise to study what made Jesus \u201cthe greatest teacher who ever lived or ever will live.\u201d Where we may never measure up, we can certainly always put more into it than we do.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

PREACH THE GOSPEL BY STUDYING, PRAYING, AND BEING PREPARED<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Too many teachers are casual in their studying, praying, and preparation, and it shows. When manuals are viewed as out of date, that somehow gives license to \u201cdo your own thing.\u201d Again, we are there to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, not fit the lesson into our own agenda. I\u2019ve been to too many classes where the lesson never came even close to investigating the scriptures, or inspired me in any way to study the life of my Savior.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

HEAL YOUR STUDENTS BY READING THE TRUTH FROM THE SCRIPTURES<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

This was a profound message in Elder Holland\u2019s talk. He pointed out that every single time Jesus taught and preached, He also healed. The correlation is that when we truly teach and preach, our words can inspire healing. What a lovely thought! Elder Holland said, \u201cCould we try a little harder to teach so powerfully and so spiritually that we really help that individual who walks alone, who lives alone, who weeps in the dark of the night?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"mormon-family-home-evening\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

“THEREFORE, WHAT?”<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Elder Holland shared President Boyd K. Packer\u2019s method of teaching.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Boyd K. Packer \u2026 has a question he often asks when we have made a presentation or given some sort of exhortation to one another in the Twelve. He looks up as if to say, \u2018Are you through?\u2019 and then says to the speaker (and, by implication, to the rest of the group), \u2018Therefore, what?\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

As teachers, we need to help make the connection between doctrine and how we actually live our lives. There is always a connection, but a good, thoughtful, and inspired teacher must draw it out.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"sharing<\/a>TEACH BY THE SPIRIT WITH POWER<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

A simple reminder from Elder Holland was, \u201cThese are God\u2019s students, not yours, just like it was God\u2019s Church, not Peter or Paul or Joseph or Brigham\u2019s.\u201d We are agents to channel the Spirit, who is the true teacher, so that the power of the Lord can enter and change lives.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Emma Smith was told in a revelation that she was to \u201cexpound scriptures, and to exhort the Church, according as it shall be given thee by my Spirit \u2026 this is my voice unto all\u201d (D&C 25:7,16<\/a>). As women, we have been given the responsibility, the ability, and the power to teach by the Spirit. But few women feel the confidence to do so. It takes serious study to feel confident in preaching the gospel. There are so many helps available to find answers. In fact, Elder Holland interrupted his talk to remind us that the LDS products available are \u201cthe best teaching scriptures ever produced in the history of the world.\u201d As the old adage states, the teacher often learns more than the student. We are doing a great service to learn from the Spirit then to teach by the Spirit.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

ALL LESSONS POINT TO CHRIST AND HIS ATONING SACRIFICE<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

All lessons, in Church, at home, and even throughout every walk of life can and should point to Christ and His Atoning Sacrifice. We have an obligation to make it happen. Elder Holland makes this confession:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI remember almost dreading (I think that\u2019s not too strong a word) the responsibility to teach the Crucifixion, Atonement, and Resurrection in my classes because I never felt I could rise to the level of worthiness that I knew the subject deserved. I wanted so much for it to matter in the hearts of the students and I knew if there was a weak link in the experience, it wouldn\u2019t be the student and it surely wouldn\u2019t be the Lord\u2014it would be me.<\/em><\/p>\n

Although I love the Savior even more now and have been called to be a witness of His name in all the world, still I feel overwhelmed and inadequate on this topic. I say that to encourage you. You as teachers will feel that some days, and often it will be the days when you want to be your best.<\/em><\/p>\n

Take heart. Let the Spirit work in you in ways that you may not be privileged to see or even to recognize. More will go on than you think if you are honest in your heart and trying to live as purely as you can.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Everyone can learn, with help from the Spirit, how to teach of Jesus Christ\u2019s greatest gift to us. This, in essence, is our gift to the Lord: to teach and testify of Him.<\/p>\n

\"compassion\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Elder Holland gave us two specific points that we should bring out in our teaching of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

First, \u201cChrist remained true.\u201d<\/strong><\/em> He obeyed the will of the Father to the very end. He asked that the cup be taken from Him, but it could not be. For us, He remained true. \u201cIf you can leave your students with one principal commitment \u2026 leave with them the necessity to obey\u2014to yield in their own difficult domain and hours of decision to the will of the Father, whatever the cost.\u201d In our own lives, to a lesser degree, we will be asked to obey \u201cno matter what.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Second, \u201cChrist knows the way.\u201d<\/strong><\/em> Teach that Jesus Christ is all-forgiving, all-merciful, and all-loving. \u201cEverything in the gospel teaches us that we can change if we really want to, that we can be helped if we truly ask for it, that we can be made whole, whatever the problems of the past.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

His last words were the whole reason I searched\u00a0for this talk. I knew that I remembered Elder Holland saying this and I want to always remember it. He explained how Christ suffered pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind just so He could succor his people (Alma 7:11-12<\/a>). Then he said, \u201cTo succor<\/em> means \u2018to run to.\u2019\u201d What a beautiful statement! Jesus Christ will run to us in our despair. Why wouldn\u2019t we want to teach, preach, and heal others with this knowledge?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We all have our own teaching methods. But this is one I fully intend to incorporate. We need to be teaching, preaching, and healing, using the spiritual feast of our Savior\u2019s life and words. Encourage the Spirit to come by asking Him to prepare with us. Ask \u201cstudents\u201d to help apply the words to life. And testify, testify, testify.<\/p>\n

I am a wife, mother of six, and grandmother of six. Besides enjoying my research into the history of the Relief Society, I also read voraciously, make art quilts, and volunteer for too many things. I am also working on a Creative Writing degree from BYU\u2019s online program. Most of all, I have a testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ.","sameAs":["https:\/\/reliefsocietywomen.com","Jan"],"url":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/author\/jtolman\/"}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/minerva-teichert-mary-and-martha.jpg?fit=900%2C661&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7684","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7684"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7684\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7689,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7684\/revisions\/7689"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7618"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7684"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7684"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7684"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
