    E143: The Day After the 25-Minute Change: Watch One Actually Happen (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    The 25-minute adjustment is here — so instead of talking about it for one more episode, we ran one. Ryan Wilkins joins Kevin Jones and Julie Hillyard to teach an unscripted, real-time 25-minute lesson on a title of the Savior most of us think we already understand: the Rock. Ryan walks through four different rocks in scripture. No lecture, no right answers, no exhausting every point. Just scripture, questions, and three people wrestling out loud. Then we stop and take the whole thing apart. What

    Teaching Restored, The book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HCFD364F In the final episode of our five-part series on the 25-minute Sunday schedule, Kevin Jones and Julie Hillyard tackle the hardest question of all: what is the actual outcome we're after? Not the Sunday school answer — the real one. Starting from a simple question about where the baptismal covenant is found (and why Alma, Christ, Moroni, and the Doctrine and Covenants don't word it the same way), Kevin and Julie land on something th

    Read excerpt

    This is Part 4 of our series on the 25-Minute Adjustment, and it's a different kind of episode: Kevin Jones, Julie Hillyard, and Kyle Smith went live inside ZionLab, the Leading Saints online community, with host Kurt Francom and a room full of ward and stake leaders. Ahead of time they asked the community what worries them most about the shorter second hour, sorted many responses into five themes, and then worked through them live with a bishop, a stake Relief Society president, a Sunday School

    E140: 25 Minutes Is Enough: How to Teach a Powerful Lesson in Half the Time (Part 3/5) (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    The lesson time got cut in half — but the material didn't. So what do you actually do differently? In this episode, Kevin and Julie sit down with Teaching Restored team member Kyle Smith to tackle the 25-minute change head-on, and the big idea is freeing: the shortness isn't the enemy — unfocused time is. A well-focused 25 minutes beats an unfocused 45 every time. Kyle walks through four core principles that hold true no matter how long your class is — expect students to come prepared, recognize

    Read excerpt

    Teaching Restored, The book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HCFD364F The Church's move to weekly 25-minute lessons is almost here — and the biggest change isn't the clock, it's how we prepare. In Part 1 of our "how" series, Kevin and Julie welcome new Teaching Restored team member John Hester to talk about spiritual preparation and discerning the needs of the people you teach. John shares the "water tower" principle he's never forgotten: fill the tower all week through deep, broad study, and when y
