What does Gospel Teaching look like in your home? How do you do scripture study with littles, what about with teens? Do you do Family Home Evening or Come Follow Me lessons? How long does your teaching last?
There are as many different answers to these questions as there are people. So while each family is different, it can still be helpful to see how other people are making it work in their homes.
In this episode, we take you behind the scenes to look at what gospel teaching looks like in our homes.
Linsey shares how she does family scripture study around the breakfast table. Her young kids seem to be more attentive while they keep their mouths full of Cheerios. Linsey spends most of her time teaching scripture stories and gospel principles found in the Book of Mormon Reader.
I (Leslie) share how my teens wake up before school and breakfast to get a few minutes of Come Follow Me scripture study in. While they may look like they are catching the last few minutes of sleep snuggled up in their blanket on the coach, they know they have to be awake enough to share at least one meaningful thing they learned during scripture study with the rest of the family..
Both Linsey and I use Sunday Come Follow Me lessons or Family Home Evening lessons to do a bit longer gospel lesson during the week. We also both use a monthly theme to make spontaneous gospel teaching easier and to give focus to our learning.
By sharing what works for us, we hope to inspire you to figure out what works best for you. What works for you might be totally different than what you see here, and that’s ok. It should be different. The key in whatever you do and however you do it is to be consistent. If you are consistent, the results will come!
