🎙 Season 3, Episode 1— PEEL: Prepare, Engage, Empower, Learn
This episode introduces the PEEL pattern and explores lessons from Doctrine andCovenants 103, the Camp of Israel, Life Prep 169, and D&C 105.

📘 Lessons Included:

Doctrine and Covenants 103

• Invite students before class to reflect on commandments or standards they may struggle with, using For the Strength of Youth.
• Anchor in D&C 103:5–8: faith in Christ increases willingness to obey.
• Share Elder Gary E. Stevenson’s “Leave the Party” story to illustrate peer pressure and choices.
• Teach the “chain of influence”: thoughts → desires → beliefs → actions → becoming.
• Reflection: Where am I in this chain today? How can the Savior strengthen me?

The Camp of Israel — Student-Led Mini-Lessons

• Trust students by assigning three to prepare one “experience” at home.
• Each student shares, asks two questions, states a principle, and bears testimony.
• Rotate between student-led teaching and curriculum video segments.
• Teacher consolidates and testifies.
• Emphasis: students learn best when they act, teach, and testify.

Life Prep Lesson 169 — Focusing on Christ in theScriptures

• Address the challenge: many youth see scripture study as “stories” instead of discovering Christ.
• Outcomes: identify a title of Christ, connect it to an attribute, explain how it deepens their relationship.
• Share the parable of Mr. Anderson — moving from knowing a name to truly knowing someone.
• Apply to Christ: recognizing His names, titles, and attributes reveals His character and draws us closer to Him.

Doctrine and Covenants 105 & Wrap-Up

• Context: after Zion’s Camp, the Lord reassured the Saints in D&C 105.
• Principle: blessings come to those who hear and obey Him.
• Reinforce the PEEL framework: Prepare, Engage, Empower, Learn.
• Close with encouragement for teachers and testimony of the Savior.
