In beginning a new style of scripture study I came up with, I thought I would put it up here to, you know, spread the world with goodness and all that great stuff. So what I am doing is focusing on one talk and studying it as in-depth as I can for one week. Each day I focus on something different. Since I'm quite a left-brained individual, I implemented some of that into my weekly study as well. Below is my weekly template: Saturday: Read the chosen talk and write notes based around important principles, insights, and doctrines. Sunday: Focus on the scriptural aspect of the talk by reading the references in the talk's footnotes, cross-referencing other verses with those in the talk, relate it to patriarchal blessing, etc. Monday: Develop a main theme for the talk and find scriptures that support the theme. Create a goal to work on that reflects the main theme or another principle of the talk. Tuesday: Ponderize a scripture from the talk or main theme. Wednesday: Learn to play a song, memorize a hymn, create an artwork, etc. that ties into the talk, theme, or ponderized scripture. Thursday: Find instances in Christ's life and teachings where he lived/taught about the principles in the talk or main theme. Friday: Create a digital graphic with a quote from the talk or the ponderized scripture. My first talk that I started last Friday was 'Fear Not to do Good' by President Eyring from this last conference. My main theme was "Our desire to serve is rooted in our testimonies" and my goal was to strengthen my testimony by praying with more real intent and reading the Book of Mormon at least 5 minutes a day. The scripture I ponderized was D&C 6:33-37, the scripture the talk is based on. Here is my graphic for this week's talk! This graphic is available for printing for personal and church use, but not for commercial use.
