Tialei ScanlanGUEST
We learn from the scriptures that God is perfect in knowledge, and so our aim to become perfect should include striving toward a more perfect knowledge.
Tialei ScanlanGUEST
The For the Strength of Youth booklet says, you have both temporal and spiritual reasons to seek and love learning.
Tialei ScanlanGUEST
Education is not just about earning money.
Tialei ScanlanGUEST
It is part of your eternal goal to become more like Heavenly Father.
Kirby HeyborneHOST
You were authorized to act in God's name for that specific purpose.
Kirby HeyborneHOST
It says in the FSY pamphlet, as you serve, you represent Jesus Christ.
Kirby HeyborneHOST
Give him your best.
Kirby HeyborneHOST
Dave and I, we sat at that table holding something fragile, and we were trying key after key, looking for the one that was actually authorized.
Kirby HeyborneHOST
We just had to find it.
Kirby HeyborneHOST
You already know where yours is, and when you act under that authority, you will be blessed, not someday, right now.
Kirby HeyborneHOST
The FSY pamphlet says under promised blessings, you will become an instrument in the Lord's hands.
Kirby HeyborneHOST
It also says, as you serve the Lord with his authority and under the direction of his servants who hold priesthood keys, He will help you know how to serve others in his work.
Jamie ForsytheHOST
Well, here we go, heading into week three of this new FSY curriculum and our new Sunday schedule.
Jamie ForsytheHOST
Hopefully things are feeling a little more comfortable after, after two weeks.
Jamie ForsytheHOST
After the first week, I asked some of my young women presidents in my state to describe in one word how things had gone.
Jamie ForsytheHOST
It said, "Focus on what's most important." We're kind of being forced to do that, right? "As you review the outlines, follow the Spirit.
Jamie ForsytheHOST
Consider the needs of the people you are teaching.
Jamie ForsytheHOST
Understanding and fully applying one principle can be more helpful than skimming over many principles." And that is exactly what we are doing with this new FSY curriculum.
Jamie ForsytheHOST
Each week, we are focusing on one principle and finding the way to help those in our class really gain a bedrock understanding of that principle, to be able to share that truth clearly and distinctly with confidence.
Jamie ForsytheHOST
This is what they need to stay strong in the world that they live in.
Barbara Morgan GardnerHOST
I have timed, this sounds funny, and maybe I should do something on my whiteboard one of these days, but it's not gonna be today.
Barbara Morgan GardnerHOST
I have taught now at least two or three firesides where I have practiced with other people teaching, in this case, the doctrine of the priesthood using the FSY manual.
Barbara Morgan GardnerHOST
And I looked at the clock in 25 minutes.
Barbara Morgan GardnerHOST
It's hard, but with but with good practice and really thinking through and having a discussion with these students, these youth, which is really what it is and with each other.
Candis ShupeHOST
So do you want to see something really cool that I just noticed? And maybe some of you already picked this up, but I didn't until just as I was preparing for this podcast.
Candis ShupeHOST
I want you to grab your FSY guide and come with me, if you will, to chapter nine, which is our focus for the month of September, right? It's entitled, You Are Blessed by Priesthood Keys and Authority.
Candis ShupeHOST
Let's look at just the opening piece.
Candis ShupeHOST
When Jesus taught Peter about priesthood authority, he spoke of keys.
Gordon B. HinckleySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The church will never deny your moral agency regarding what you should wear and how you should look.
Gordon B. HinckleySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The For the Strength of Youth pamphlet is very clear in its call for young women to avoid clothing that is too tight, too short, or improperly revealing in any manner, including bare midriffs.
Gordon B. HinckleySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Our standards are not socially negotiable.
speaker_4NARRATOR
Those two statements contradict each other.

How can you follow His example as you interact with others? How might the counsel in Proverbs chapter 15 and chapter 16 verses 24 through 32 apply to today's digital communication? See if you can find a verse in these chapters that you could rephrase as advice about interacting over social media or through text.

Proverbs 31, verses 10-31 A woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Proverbs chapter 31 verses 10 through 31 describes a virtuous woman or a woman of great spiritual strength, capability, and influence.

Which of these traits can you emulate? Ecclesiastes chapters 1 through 3 and chapter 12.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Mortal life is temporary.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Why is it valuable for you to remember that much in this world, as Ecclesiastes chapters 1 through 2 asserts, is vanity, or temporary and often unimportant? What do you find in Ecclesiastes chapter 12 that gives life eternal value? For more, see this month's issues of the Liahona and for the Strength of Youth magazines.

Ideas for Teaching Children Proverbs 1.7, 2.5, 15.33, 16.6, and Ecclesiastes 12.13. To fear God means to love and obey Him.
Gwen HeyborneGUEST
He is my strength.
Kirby HeyborneHOST
This week in your class, the For the Strength of Youth curriculum covers something big.
Kirby HeyborneHOST
The priesthood disappeared from the earth for hundreds of years, and then God brought it back.
Kirby HeyborneHOST
This is the reason you have access to God's power right now.
Mahjolee KershawGUEST
We definitely need a very even balance between spiritual, physical, intellectual, all the different categories.
Mahjolee KershawGUEST
And they kind of introduced that into the church right when I was going through the youth program with the new For Strength of Youth, where they had the four different categories and we just wanted an even balance.
Mahjolee KershawGUEST
And I think that helped me a lot as well.
Mahjolee KershawGUEST
But just making sure that God's in all aspects of your life.
Peggy Fletcher-StackHOST
No sex before marriage, total fidelity during marriage.
Peggy Fletcher-StackHOST
Guidelines for sexual activity are set out for young Latter-day Saints in publications like For the Strength of Youth.
Peggy Fletcher-StackHOST
But what about older singles who have never wed or those whose marriages end in divorce or death? How do they navigate that possibility of intimacy? Jennifer Finlayson-Fyfe, a well-known Latter-day Saint sex therapist and author of That We Might Have Joy, Desire, Divinity, and Intimate Love, will
Jennifer Finlayson-FifeHOST
be
Jennifer Finlayson-FifeGUEST
And we want the idea that it's all the same.
Jennifer Finlayson-FifeGUEST
But of course, if you've already been married, if you're now widowed, if you're now a functioning adult, which is different than a young adult who's still trying to kind of sort out life.
Jennifer Finlayson-FifeGUEST
So we want the idea that for the strength of youth, emphasis on you, should
Jennifer Finlayson-FifeHOST
apply.
