Today we walk through four lessons tailored for seminaryteachers:

• Life Prep 173 — Understanding the Context of the Scriptures. Practical ways to help students preview headings/summaries, generate better questions, and feel the power of context in D&C 121–123.
• D&C 121–123 (Seminary 130) — How God Helps in Our Trials. We keep returning to the “how”: How do we endure well? How does God give peace? We use the Provo Tabernacle → Temple story to frame Liberty Jail as a “prison-temple.”
• D&C 121:34–46 — Accessing the Powers of Heaven to Bless Others. A purpose shift: access priesthood power through covenants and righteous living so we can lift others (Doctrinal Mastery included).
• Life Prep 210 — Studying the Teachings of Church Leaders. A flexible template: let youth help choose a message, learn a bit about the speaker, then make and report on a concrete plan to live and share.

(00:00) Introduction

Mark and Will set the stage for this week’s lessons, connecting real-world challenges with how the Savior strengthens and teaches His people.

(01:40) D&C 115 — The Correct Name of the Church

Will explores President Russell M. Nelson’s message, “The Correct Name of the Church” (October 2018 General Conference) and helps teachers invite students to take responsibility for their learning through focused preparation, purposeful questioning, and real-life application.

(09:00) D&C 119–120 — The Law of TithingMark discusses how students can learn by living the law of tithing, drawing from Malachi 3:8–10 , John 7:17, and Doctrine and Covenants 119:5–7.

Includes the inspiring story of Mary Fielding Smith and prophetic insights from Elder David A. Bednar and President James E. Faust.

(17:40) Life Prep 180 — Building Self-Reliance in the Lord’s Way

Will highlights practical ways to help students understand that self-reliance is spiritual reliance on the Lord. This section integrates President Gordon B. Hinckley’s definition and President Camille N. Johnson’s worldwide devotional examples of young adults using their gifts to bless others.

(26:50) Church History — The Expulsion from Missouri

Mark closes with one of the most difficult periods in early Church history—the expulsion from Missouri—and invites teachers to help students feel a greater desire to turn to God when facing hardship.
