The story of Nephi isn’t just an inspiring tale—it’s a roadmap for personal growth and discipleship.

Nephi’s journey teaches some of the most critical lessons a young person can learn:

✔️ How to follow revelation even when it’s difficult
✔️ How to develop self-reliance and problem-solving skills
✔️ How to overcome challenges with faith and determination
✔️ How to stand for truth despite opposition

If today’s youth follow Nephi’s example, they will be better prepared for missions, adulthood, and a life centered on Christ. But how do we take Nephi’s story and turn it into real-world application?

The 4 Phases of Nephi’s Journey and What They Teach Youth

1. The Call to Action – Leaving Comfort Behind

🚀 What Youth Learn:
✔️ Trusting the Lord’s plan
✔️ Taking action even when it’s uncomfortable
