Preparation Questions for Testifying Youth Hosts & Open House Participants

As a testifying youth host, you have been given a sacred opportunity to share your personal witness of Jesus Christ with each group that visits your room. You are not expected to be a gospel scholar or deliver a sermon. You are being asked to share what you know, what you feel, and what the Savior means to you. The Spirit will magnify your words.

Each of you will bear testimony to each group as they come through. As you prepare your thoughts, please ponder the following questions. There are general questions for all testifying youth hosts, followed by specific questions for each room theme.

General Questions for All Testifying Youth Hosts

Regardless of which room you are assigned to, consider these questions as you prepare your heart and mind:

  1. If I could share just one thing about the Savior with someone who had never heard of Him, what would it be?

  2. What does it mean to me to be a witness of Jesus Christ in this moment, in this room, with these people?

  3. When did I first begin to feel that Jesus Christ was real and that He knew me personally?

  4. What is a scripture, hymn, or moment from my life that strengthens my testimony of Jesus Christ?

  5. How has my relationship with the Savior changed or deepened as I have grown older?

Video & Instruction By Room

Nativity

Teachings of Christ

You are welcoming guests into the story of how the Savior of the world came to earth as a tiny, helpless baby born in the humblest of circumstances to fulfill the greatest of purposes.

  1. What feelings do I have when I think about the fact that Heavenly Father loved me enough to send His Son into the world for me?

  2. What does it teach me about God the Father that He sent His Only Begotten Son to be born in a stable among ordinary people rather than in a palace?

  3. When I think about Mary and Joseph (young, far from home, trusting God), what do I learn about faith and what it means to say “yes” to the Lord even when the path is uncertain?

  4. The shepherds and wise men both sought the Christ child. What draws me to seek Him in my own life?

  5. How does knowing that Jesus Christ chose to come to earth and experience mortality help me during times when life feels hard or unfair?

You are sharing a space focused on the words and lessons of the Master Teacher, the parables, the Sermon on the Mount, and the invitations He extended to all who would listen.

  1. What is one teaching of Jesus Christ that has personally changed the way I live, think, or treat others?

  2. How do I feel when I read the words of Jesus Christ in the scriptures? Do I feel like He is speaking directly to me?

  3. Which parable speaks most powerfully to me right now in my life, and why?

  4. Jesus often taught in ways that surprised people or challenged what they thought they knew. When has a teaching of the Savior surprised or challenged me?

  5. If I could sit at the feet of the Savior and ask Him one question, what would it be, and what do I think He might say?

Miracles of Jesus Christ

The Living Christ

You are standing in a room dedicated to the miraculous works of Jesus Christ, the healings, the feeding of thousands, the calming of storms, and the raising of the dead.

  1. What is one of my favorite miracle stories from the scriptures, and what does it teach me about who Jesus Christ is?

  2. Jesus Christ had the power to do anything, yet He often chose to serve one person at a time. What does this teach me about how He sees and ministers to me individually?

  3. What do the miracles of Jesus reveal about how He sees people, especially those who were suffering, overlooked, or considered unworthy?

  4. Many of the Savior’s miracles required faith on the part of the person being healed. What does this teach me about my own role in receiving His help?

  5. Have I experienced something in my own life that I would call a miracle? What happened, and how did it strengthen my faith in the Savior?

You are hosting the most sacred room in this open house, one that focuses on the Savior’s suffering in Gethsemane, His death on the cross, His glorious Resurrection, and how we remember Him through the sacrament each week.

  1. What does the Atonement of Jesus Christ mean to me personally, not as a definition, but as something I have felt in my life?

  2. If I could tell someone who was feeling hopeless or broken just one thing about what the Savior has done for them, what would I say?

  3. When I think about the Savior suffering in Gethsemane and on the cross, what feelings come to my heart? How does knowing He did this for me change how I live?

  4. What does the Resurrection mean to me? How does it give me hope when I think about people I love who have passed away?

  5. When I take the sacrament each Sunday, what do I think about? How can I make that weekly experience more meaningful as I remember His sacrifice?
