Asking inspired questions
Inspired questions are an essential part of the learning process. During His mortal ministry, the Savior often asked questions that invited learners to think, feel, and act on the truths He taught (see Matthew 16:13–16; John 6:66–69). Maybe you have noticed a parent, teacher, or Church leader ask questions that helped you understand the gospel better or relate what you are learning to your own life. Asking and answering inspired questions can make the learning process a more engaging and meaningful experience for you.
There are many different kinds of questions. Today you will have the opportunity to practice asking and answering inspired questions to help you understand doctrinal mastery passages.
The following are examples of the different types of questions that can be used when studying the scriptures. The example questions relate to the truths taught in 2 Nephi 32:8–9.
