Description

What if your child's youth nights became adventures modeled after Book of Mormon heroes?

On today’s episode of Latter-day Lights, we’re joined by Josh Chapman, a creative father of six from Ogden, Utah, who retired from his day job to create 'Nephi’s Apprentice'.

Nephi’s Apprentice is a gospel-centered program that takes life skills like compass work, tool-making, and conflict resolution, and ties them directly to the stories and examples of Nephi and other Book of Mormon heroes.

Designed to complement and work within the guidelines of the Church’s new youth programs, it’s a  Scouting-style adventure reimagined to build both confidence and testimony for both young men and young women.

If you’re a parent or leader looking for ready-to-run activities that are fun, meaningful, and spiritually powerful, you won’t want to miss this conversation.
