President Holland's Impact On Me As A Teacher

President Holland's Impact On Me As A Teacher
On December 27th, the world learned of the passing of President Jeffrey R. Holland. While we rejoice in his reunion with his beloved wife, Pat, we also feel the weight of losing a Christ-like teacher who changed the way we see the gospel.

In this special edition of Faith Insights, Tyler Griffin shares a deeply personal tribute to the man who quite inspired him to become a gospel teacher. From the moment Tyler almost chose a career in electrical engineering to the April 1998 General Conference talk that changed his life forever, this video explores the profound legacy of a "Teacher Come From God."

In this video, we discuss:

The Legacy of Jeff and Pat Holland: Reflections on their miraculous final months together and the power of their eternal partnership.
Overcoming the Comparison Trap: A life-changing quote from Sister Patricia Holland on finding joy in your own "measure of creation" rather than imitating others.
A Teacher Come From God: Why President Holland’s 1998 address is the gold standard for every Seminary, Institute, and Sunday School teacher.
Substance Over "Fried Froth": How to avoid "theological Twinkies" and provide the spiritual nourishment our souls truly crave.

President Holland didn't just teach doctrine; he modeled the very attributes of Jesus Christ. Join us as we remember his life, his passion, and the fire he lit in the hearts of disciples everywhere.
