Let’s be honest—getting today’s teens excited about scripture study and gospel living can feel like an uphill battle. Between social media, video games, and endless entertainment, it’s easy for faith-building activities to take a backseat.

If you’ve ever thought…

❌ “They just don’t seem interested in spiritual things.”
❌ “I wish they would put as much effort into their testimony as they do their phone.”
❌ “It feels like I’m forcing them to engage in gospel activities.”

…you’re not alone. But here’s the good news: The problem isn’t a lack of faith—it’s a lack of engagement.

The Real Reason Teens Are Glued to Their Screens

Teens aren’t addicted to their phones just because of social media. They’re hooked because their devices provide:

🔹 A sense of accomplishment – Every level beaten, every new skill learned, every video completed gives a dopamine hit.
🔹 A feeling of connection – Friends, likes, and comments make them feel seen and heard.
🔹 Excitement and challenge – Games, trends, and interactive content keep their minds engaged.

But what if faith-building activities could offer the same level of excitement, challenge, and connection—but in a way that strengthens their testimony instead of distracting from it?

Why Traditional Approaches to Gospel Learning Aren’t Working

Most youth programs focus on passive learning—attending classes, listening to lessons, or reading scriptures alone. While these are important, passivity doesn’t hold a candle to interactive experiences.

Think about the Book of Mormon:

• Did Nephi gain faith by sitting in a lesson? No—he acted, taking on the challenge of retrieving the plates.
• Did Alma the Younger change just by hearing his father preach? No—he had a personal, transformative experience that made the gospel real to him.
• Did the Stripling Warriors gain courage by reading stories about bravery? No—they lived it, tested their faith, and saw miracles firsthand.

Our youth need more than just lessons. They need challenges, experiences, and victories that make the gospel come alive.

The Key to Engaging Youth: Faith in Action

The best way to pull youth away from screens and into scripture isn’t by banning technology—it’s by offering something better. Something that provides:

✔️ A sense of accomplishment – Where they can complete challenges, earn recognition, and see real progress.
✔️ A feeling of connection – Where they’re working toward something meaningful with their peers.
✔️ Excitement and challenge – Where they get to test themselves, take risks, and apply their faith in real situations.

And that’s exactly what Nephi’s Apprentice was created to do.

Introducing Nephi’s Apprentice: The Gospel Comes to Life

Imagine a faith-based program where youth don’t just learn about gospel principles—they live them through hands-on challenges.

Instead of just reading about Nephi’s faith, they complete a challenge that requires faith.
Instead of just hearing about Captain Moroni’s leadership, they step up and lead a real group project.
Instead of just talking about self-reliance, they gain practical skills that prepare them for real life.

With structured challenges in four key areas—Spiritual Growth, Physical Fitness, Social Intelligence, and Knowledge—Nephi’s Apprentice helps youth engage with the gospel the way they engage with their favorite apps and games.

How It Works

✅ Gospel-Based Challenges – Each challenge is rooted in Book of Mormon principles and designed to push youth out of their comfort zone.
✅ Real-World Application – Instead of just discussing faith, youth actively build, create, serve, and experience gospel living.
✅ Structured Progression – Youth advance through levels, completing increasingly meaningful tasks that develop testimony and life skills.
✅ Interactive and Engaging – Perfect for youth who need something more than lectures and lessons to stay invested in their faith.

Give Your Teen Something Better Than a Screen

We don’t have to fight technology—we just have to give youth real-world experiences that are even more exciting than their phones.

When teens experience gospel principles instead of just hearing about them, the scriptures come alive. Faith becomes personal. And the gospel becomes an adventure worth pursuing.

If you’re ready to help your teen rediscover their passion for faith, purpose, and personal growth, Nephi’s Apprentice is the perfect tool to get them there.
