Bro. Bradley R. Wilcox (Oct. '21): "Worthiness Is Not Flawlessness"

 This is such a powerful topic.  I imagine that it is one that will be taught a lot in the Church and with good reason.  In fact, it would almost be possible to do a whole lesson that was simply asking class members to identify and share their favorite lines.

The Activity:

1. Make sure that everyone has access to a copy of the talk either digitally or physically.
2. Ask class members to read (or listen to or watch) par. 5-12 "Some mistakenly receive . . . need each day."
3. Divide the class into small groups of 2-4 people each.  
4. Give each group something to write on and something to write with.
5. Ask the groups to imagine they are in charge of creating a "How to Overcome Hard Things" manual using this talk as a basis.  Have them create and record a list of steps or guidelines from this talk.
6. After a few minutes, come back together.
7. Ask a the groups to share their lists, creating a whole class list on the board and discussing as you go.

Using the Activity:

This is another way to think about likening the talk to our own lives.  In this case, though, the aim is to have the class members focus more on principles (remember Elder Bednar's talk from last conference).  Also, sometimes a person may realize a very personal application of some counsel from a talk but not be comfortable sharing it because of the personal nature.  By focusing on principles, these guidelines should be more general, which means they will be less personal and easier to share.  This also means that they will be universally applicable (or nearly so) as principles are, whereas specific actions are often dependent on our situations and other factors.

I hope this activity is of benefit to you.
