E119: Ready to Teach General Conference? Here's How to Prep

About this episode

Kevin and Julie discuss how to prepare for General Conference with a teacher mindset to enhance understanding and engagement.

Many miss out on the full impact of General Conference by only listening passively, but viewing the talks with a "teacher mindset" brings deeper inspiration and understanding. Kevin and Julie share practical ways to dive into topics, ask meaningful questions, and prepare to teach, whether at church or in your own home. Applying this approach will transform your Conference experience and make gospel teaching and learning more exciting and relevant. 1. Approach General Conference talks with a teacher’s perspective—search for topics and questions you can discuss and teach, not just information to absorb. 2. Focus on real discussions about gospel topics and invite genuine questions, instead of just “teaching a lesson” or covering content. 3. Use study and discussion tools (like the Gospel Library app) to link conference topics, deepen your preparation, and involve others in meaningful gospel learning.
