In the final episode of our five-part series on the 25-minute Sunday schedule, Kevin Jones and Julie Hillyard tackle the hardest question of all: what is the actual outcome we're after? Not the Sunday school answer — the real one. Starting from a simple question about where the baptismal covenant is found (and why Alma, Christ, Moroni, and the Doctrine and Covenants don't word it the same way), Kevin and Julie land on something that reframes the whole series: the Savior rarely handed out answers. He told parables, He asked inspired questions, and He extended invitations — and then He gave people space to wrestle. As Julie puts it, the transformation happens in the space. The point was never the answer. The point is who we become on the way to it.
From there they get practical: how to build "proving polarities" questions that make people think (and how to use AI to help you write them if that's not your gift), why counseling together beats one person talking for 25 minutes, how to make a discussion real instead of hypothetical, how to point out the Spirit without isolating the person who isn't feeling it, and a postmortem checklist for evaluating your own class afterward. Plus the image that ties it all together — treat your classroom like an escape room, and be the clue giver instead of the answer key. Julie also offers two important cautions: stirring the pot is not the same as creating chaos, and if you're truly seeking revelation for your class, it won't look like the class next door. Next week: Ryan Wilkins walks through an actual 25-minute lesson.
