Ed Week 3
This is the last post from Education Week. I think. I went to a bunch of classes by Stephanie Sorensen. One was on the Beauty Paradox - it was a great talk about Righteousness, Self-Image, and Power. If you want those notes, email me. Great stuff to teach teenage girls (and their moms!)
But I really loved the class she gave entitled "Women as Gospel Scholars". If you've paid attention lately at conference, there have been several talks about the need for the women of the church to have a "bedrock understanding of Gospel principles". So this class is pretty timely as far as I'm concerned. She shared talk after talk after talk. I wrote down the reference so that I could go back and study them. So what you have here are my brief notes jotted down during the flood of information, and lists of talks. But I think they would make a great basis for improving Gospel study for anyone who's feeling a little at loose ends as to the WHAT of their study.

Start with a question or desire to learn. Then ask God, not Google. prayer, revealed, sinned, authorized sources: scriptures, standard works, guides, study helps, manuals.

Research tools:
byutv.org (search: discussions - has BYU professors discussing scripture)
si.lds.org - all the seminary and institute stuff including 4 new foundation courses
Kimball GC 10/1979 or 1978 “Privileges and Responsibility”
Nelson GC 10/2015 “A Plea to My Sisters”

Maybe read last 5 years of 1 apostle’s conference talks to see the pattern of the apostolic witness they feel prompted to teach.
Use the scripture.byu.edu index to connect scripture and conference talks. Awesome resource.
Maybe we should use the websites for FHE - have the kids learn about them, what resources are there -
- How to study?
What do you want to learn? Be a seeker.

You can know. The Gospel can be written in my heart.
Julie Beck “Comfort in Questions”
Start with what you know. Search for more patterns. Questions that will strengthen our faith are the ones we are more likely to receive answers to.

principle of grace tells us that we can take something that’s not that great and it will be good enough.
