Episode notes
From A Non-Scripture Home To Teacher
- Shannon grew up in a home where her father was not a Latter-day Saint and scripture learning was limited.
- That background became her strength because she can relate to people who feel unequipped to study scriptures.
Unexpected Seminary Teacher Journey
- Shannon did not plan to be a seminary teacher but was encouraged to take the seminary class and quickly placed as an opt teacher.
- Teaching youth ignited her love for scriptures and refined her methods over 13 years.
Provide Scaffolding, Not Answers
- Do create scaffolding rather than giving answers so others can receive personal revelation through their own study.
- Let people dig into scriptures themselves so they hit rocks, find treasures, and experience their own miracles.
