0:00.0 | Hello there, my name is Tyler Griffin and this is Scripture Study Insights by Scripture Central. |
0:06.0 | Today, Third Nephi, chapters 1 through 7. |
0:10.0 | I want to introduce these chapters today with one lifelong learning overlay perspective that I learned from a good friend and colleague named Rob Eaton. He shared this |
0:26.3 | concept of his wife and him planting some apple trees. And they were all excited that |
0:35.1 | first spring that they saw many, many blossoms appear on those |
0:40.8 | trees. And they didn't realize that leaving all of those blossoms in place would lead to |
0:48.4 | a lot of fruit, but all of the fruit would be small and not quite as sweet or as flavorful as it otherwise |
0:57.0 | could have been had they done some thinning. That principle, when it applies to Scripture |
1:05.0 | study, is powerful because you look at these chapters, chapter 1 through 7 in 3rd Nephi, and there |

1:22.0 | are such that they have the capacity to be fruit-bearing. The problem comes when we as teachers or leaders |

2:14.2 | work well and you end up doing a hundred things kind of porty as opposed |
2:22.3 | to reading all of the chapters that are available prayerfully considering what might these |
2:31.4 | students or these children or this friend or this colleague or this companion, whatever |
2:37.9 | it may be in your situation, what principles here would be the most beneficial or the most |
2:46.8 | helpful, the most fruitful, if you will, in helping connect this group of people or this |
2:55.0 | individual with the Savior and help them to become a lifelong covenantally connected individual |
3:04.9 | with the Lord, which means you have to make some decisions. You might have to |
