I’m so grateful for every single one of these episodes. They have literally made me fall in love with the Old Testament for the first time and come to know my Father and my Savior and their mercies and dealings with the children of men so much more. Thank you!!

[@CordelieaKronoss]

I feel the same way. I've been homebound a lot and unable to get to church much, so these insights are like a piece of heaven for me too.

I'm grateful for this lesson about going into the firey funace in order to follow the Savior. I'm in one of those senerios right now in my life. I have worked for a company for 40 years. I purposely didn't work on the sabbath day. My boss came and demanded that I work a Sunday shift each week. I told him that I couldn't do that. I wasn't willing to put my spiritual life in jeopardy just to keep my job. So I told them I would quit my job so I didn't have to work Sunday. So I did. Now I'm hoping that the Lord will bless me for making this decision

[@christineamclearly-halton1581]

Sincerely a wonderful lesson. Thank you for this beautiful spiritual heartfelt inspiring teachings and special guest speaker . An outstanding 👌 presentation 👏 from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️

[@richhaubrich6967]

The only thing better than watching these two gentlemen would be being there in person. I am finally loving the Old Testament; many lessons learned. Thank you.

[@richhaubrich6967]

My wife and I keep a blessings’ jar; these lessons are always added to the jar. All these blessings are read on December 31 to remind us of our blessings we received throughout the year.

[@NisaNJames]

But If Not is my favorite talk! It has helped me so much in my life.

[@beamblake]

T&T Brothers & Clint Mortensen, What a power packed hour and half of not only pulling out Doctrine/Principles but having Clint FOCUS us on "The Learning Process" I haven't seen the Venn Diagram since my CES days but a wonderful review. Having us FOCUS on the Learner/needs as a starting point THEN FOCUS on Him, will invite the Spirit to teach and edify. I think too many of us as teachers rush to cover ALL the material that we miss the sacred Edification process !! From personal experience, Inspired questions gets the Learner to ACT. Indeed, "nothing invites the spirit more than fixing your FOCUS on the Savior" Thank you my friends!!!

[@cindydavis329]

Another great presentation. SO helpful for those of us that teach! So many insights and suggestions. Thank you.

[@tinagiles3544]

I so enjoyed listening to this episode on Daniel 1-6. What a great insight all of you brought out of the scriptures. Thank you all for taking the time to study the scriptures and to present it in a way I can understand them . I felt the holy ghost testify to me that Jesus loves us and wants to help us with our trials . ❤

[@pameladequit5092]

Another inspiring episode. Thank you all ❤

[@lindagates9227]

Wow! The perfect lesson to all of us who are called upon to speak as part of a Sunday's meeting. As a Former Gospel Doctrine teacher, the lessons I felt best about were those that started discussion and thought-sharing within the class and frequently some would gather in small groups after class to continue the discussion. I hope I can go back to this class again and again to continue to learn this style of teaching. Fantastic1111

[@rinekedebruijn3145]

Thank you so much, especially Clint Mortensen for adding worthwhile hints for teachers.

Fantastic episode. Thank you for covering Daniel 1-6 and additional training for teaching. God bless you brethren.

[@crystaldawn9255]

Converts are just as important to remember in teachings like this as the youth and your own children. As a person who was a convert at the age of 30 Love is believed in God and Jesus Christ but never knew anything about scriptures, having two young boys with me to teach, seminary and these lessons and those members who teach me to teach have been an immeasurable blessing. So many would look at me like I knew as much as they did even though they knew I was a convert and I had to explain once I don't know how to look scripture up. When you tell me can I please read so and so chapter so and so verses so and so I have no idea what you're saying

[@scripturecentralofficial]

That's a great insight. Unfortunately, Taylor and Tyler have filmed all the episodes for the rest of the year, so the feedback can't be implemented. Hopefully you can find the answers you are looking for in you personal study.

[@garyjenks1186]

Thank you so much for these lessons. It helps me so much with my Sunday school lessons. I love the history insides as well as the insights on the spiritual application of the scriptures. I have learned so much about the Old Testament this year. No longer is it so much of a mystery to me. Again thanks so much for your time and efforts.

We are so greatful for all the episodes these last two years, our life has been so enriched by the study, wisdom and knowledge we have received. Taylor and Tylor have become our family and time for family to study and learn together. We have shared with everyone,we talk and ask them to watch, read and learn. We have gained so much by partaking daily.

I really enjoyed having something teach how to teach, while going through an actual lesson you're giving. I found his insights super valuable. I'd love to see that from time to time. You guys are expert teachers and make it look so easy. As an amateur who is called to teach myself at times, this is very helpful.

[@juliengel4427]

This episode spoke to me. Trusting in His refining process in the Furnace of Affliction and His timing is a difficult thing and tries my Faith. These stories from ancient people in the Bible and Book of Mormon give me hope. Thank you.

These insights have been an essential part of my daily scripture study since I discovered them two years ago. I pray and thank Heavenly Father for you every day. The treasures I glean have catapulted my understanding and retention of the gospel principals found in the scriptures. This particular episode with Clint Mortensen taught me teaching principles that I know will make me a better teacher, and I am so excited to put his direction into practice!!! Thank you so much as always and special thank you to Clint for sharing his wealth of knowledge in this episode!

[@cindyandmarco]

Taylor and Tyler, I am so grateful that you have invited Bro Mortensen to speak on teaching ideas. I have used them in my Sunday School class with with the YSAs and I can really feel the Spirit - with the class ended with a nice closing prayer offered by one of the class members who basically repeated the gist of the lesson and was thankful for that. It is certainly hard work to record all these videos for Come Follow Me; I cannot even begin to imagine the amount of work put into this project, but I want to say you’ve touched so many souls and your contribution is simply immeasurable. Thank you for all your lessons and efforts!

My family and I watch this program every week as a complement to our Follow me study and we have grown to love and understand the Old Testament as necer before. Thank you for that. I am a seminary teacher and Clint's teaching suggestions blew my mind. I suggest you to create a program to give ideas for teachers every week. It would so helpful. Thank you.

Wow, another amazing presentation from the CFM team. I really enjoyed this Bretheren, I ended up watching it a couple of times. This is what teaching is to me. My mom is a Sunday School teacher for their ward in Southern California. I immediately sent this video to her and told her to watch it. The counsel in this presentation is timeless, and will basically fit into any time, scenario or group. This is definitely a one size fits all approach to teaching both in the classroom and in life. I love how the spirit knows exactly what questions to ask students and with the right words. The right prompts often help individuals dig deep and express thoughts and matters of the spirit. This presentation is absolute genius and is a level up from any of the teaching approaches I have seen, or ever will see ❤️.

I wish I'd heard this when I taught YW. Wonderful!

[@denisehwilliams]

Thank you Clint for helps with teaching. So very grateful.

[@cherriwoodruff5461]

I am reading the BOM at the same time as the OT. So interesting to often see parallels …. One today is in Alma 10 where Amulek names his lineage by being a descendant of one Aminadi who interpreted the writing, which was upon the wall of the temple, which was written by the finger of God. Seeing that same thing in Daniel and now here in Alma makes me smile to see how often the Lord works with all of his children so similarly. Thank you again brethren for all that you do to bring light to the Scriptures!

[@lindamoses3697]

Thank you

[@PatrickDey]

Thank you Brother Clint Mortensen for teaching us how to create meaningful learning experiences while teaching the gospel (begins at 22:26). As taught by President Henry B. Eyring, take your students into the scriptures. Help them to liken the scriptures to themselves. For example, while teaching Daniel 1 to the youth, invite them to ponder this imaginary scenario, “You have made covenants with the Savior to keep yourself clean. Imagine you are out one night with three of your good friends. You find yourselves in a new and unfamiliar setting where you are being pressured to break your covenants. What would you do and why?” As they share their responses, listen carefully to what they would do and why they would do so. This learning exercise creates a relevancy between the experiences of the scriptural characters and what the youth are experiencing in their lives. They begin to realize that it is not just about Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. It is about them. The second teaching principle is to trust the scriptures. When learners search the scriptures, the Lord will personalize their understanding of truth to meet their individual spiritual needs. To put these two teaching principles into action, first engage them by asking the scenario-based question, listen to their responses carefully, set the context of the scriptural account (e.g., by telling them who Daniel and his friends were and how they ended up in Babylon), and then invite them to study the scriptures (Daniel 1:8-20 in this case). Ask the youth to look for things they admire about Daniel and his friends, for the blessings Daniel and his friends received, and the impressions the youth received about the choices they are trying to make in their own lives.

[@terim3648]

This is my favorite episode! Thank you to all involved in producing these videos!
