This For the Strength of Youth Discussion Guide helps Young Men and Young Women leaders prepare for November Week 1 and lead a meaningful, Christ-centered discussion in about 25 minutes.
November begins with the chapter Truth Will Make You Free and the Savior’s promise: “Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32). This first lesson introduces the month by helping youth explore what loving truth looks like in everyday discipleship.
Youth will study three Eternal Truths: Heavenly Father wants His sons and daughters to always be learning, living with integrity means loving what is right more than comfort or popularity, and every disciple already has something precious to share because of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Rather than providing a long scripted lesson, this guide gives leaders a simple path for helping youth connect learning, honesty, integrity, courage, and sharing truth with the kind of disciple they are becoming. It also helps leaders move beyond rules and behaviors to a deeper question: What does it mean to become someone who truly loves truth?
Inside this guide:
Two simple readiness activities
Brief teacher preparation and doctrinal background
Three study paths built around the chapter’s Eternal Truths
Supporting scriptures and prophetic insights
Discovery, understanding, and application questions
A ready-to-use conversation guide
Journal/application ideas
Josh’s Teaching Tip
A Temple Connection
A simple weekly invitation
Additional teaching ideas
A one-page Teach This in 25 Minutes lesson path
Designed for: Young Men advisers, Young Women leaders, bishopric members, and others teaching the Church’s For the Strength of Youth curriculum.
Preparation is intentionally simple. A leader should be able to review the guide in about 15 minutes and feel prepared to lead a thoughtful 25-minute discussion without building a lesson from scratch.
The goal this week is simple: help youth understand that truth is more than something they know—it should shape the way they learn, the way they live when no one is watching, and the courage and love with which they stand for Jesus Christ.
