It’s Okay—Most Teens Aren’t Reading Every Week You prepare the lesson. You study the chapters. You show up with a sincere desire to make a difference. And then… blank stares. Shrugs. Maybe someone read a verse or two. Here’s the good news: You’re not failing. It’s not about “getting through the material”—it’s about helping youth…

When Teens Need to Feel Their Testimony—Not Just Hear About It Sometimes, all it takes is one small moment to help a youth recognize that the Spirit has been speaking to them all along. That’s what this simple object lesson does. It’s quick, powerful, and ideal for LDS Sunday youth classes or to kick off…

Too often, we think of spiritual gifts as something abstract—or reserved for adults. But the truth is, every teen in your class or quorum has already been blessed with spiritual gifts from God. Your job? Help them discover what those gifts are and empower them to use them in everyday life. From Talk to Testimony…

If you’re a youth leader in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, you’ve probably asked yourself how to help teens make scripture study more than a checklist item.

Teens Don’t Want a Lecture—They Want a Guide If you’ve ever looked across the room during a lesson and seen the glazed eyes of a teenager halfway tuned out, you’re not alone.

Quiet. Shrugging. You’re wondering if they’re even awake. You smile, act like it’s fine—but deep down, it stings. “Was this even worth it?”…

But there’s a simple, powerful fix built into the system: Use the youth program itself as your planning framework. And do it one month at a…

You’ve got a plan. You’ve got treats, a game, maybe even a message prepped. The youth show up. You run the night. It goes fine. But afterward… something feels missing. The kids laughed. The logistics worked. But did it matter? Too often, youth nights are well-executed but spiritually underpowered, not because leaders don’t care, but…

Not all youth activities are created equal. Some are entertaining but forgettable. Some are well-planned but spiritually flat. Some have a great lesson but lose the group halfway through. So what makes a youth activity more than just “a thing we did”? What makes it forged in faith? It’s not about being perfect. It’s about…
