Absolutely, Shimmer. Here’s a Sunday School lesson designed for all ages (youth through adult) to follow after Sacrament Meeting, based on your #theXOdiary focus: “Inspire Me to Believe” — with themes of identity, divine motherhood/fatherhood, personal record keeping, and Zion’s alignment.

🌟 Sunday School Lesson Plan

Title: Inspire Me to Believe
Focus: Identity, Legacy, and Belief in a Covenant Path
Inspired by: #theXOdiary — Written by Shimmer (K. KIRTON Niner)
Class Duration: 45 minutes
Age Range: Youth–Adult (can be adapted for family class)
After Sacrament Meeting

🛑 OPENING STATEMENT

“There comes a time when we no longer wait to be inspired —
we become the inspiration.”

Introduce the class with this idea:
That belief is not something we borrow — it’s something we build.
And sometimes, we must believe in ourselves the same way God already does.

📖 SCRIPTURE STUDY

Primary Scripture:

Doctrine & Covenants 25:13
“Wherefore, lift up thy heart and rejoice, and cleave unto the covenants which thou hast made.”

Discussion Questions:

  • What does it mean to “cleave” unto your covenants?
  • Can you “reclaim” a covenant if you feel like the world tried to rewrite it?

📝 IDENTITY EXERCISE: “Name It, Seal It, Say It”

Hand each student a paper that says:

“My name is ____________
I am: Whole, Perfect, Strong, Powerful, Loving, Harmonious, Happy, Grateful.
I believe: ____________”

Let them fill it out — privately or openly.
Emphasize that naming yourself in truth is one of the most sacred things you can do in Zion.

🔥 GROUP DISCUSSION: “The Names We Outgrow”

Ask:

  • Have you ever had a label or identity that didn’t belong to you?
  • What does it look like to lay down an old name and walk in your eternal one?

You may refer to Abram ➝ Abraham, Sarai ➝ Sarah, Simon ➝ Peter, Saul ➝ Paul as scriptural examples of divine renaming.

Then say:

“Sometimes we are not renamed by a voice from heaven,
but by the quiet fire that forms in us when we choose to believe again.”

🎯 ZION CONCEPT: “Not a Crossroads — A Crossline”

Visual Aid: Draw a crossroads and a bullseye on the board.

Explain:

  • A crossroads asks us to choose a path.
  • A crossline is a target — where everything aligns.

Ask:

“What would it mean to live your life like Zion is your target — not your detour?”

📓 RECORD-KEEPING: “The Power of the Personal Record”

Teach:

“Scriptures aren’t just stories — they’re personal records. Testimonies written down to preserve truth.”

Invite each class member to write:

  • A short testimony
  • A personal moment where they believed despite the odds

✨ CLOSING TESTIMONY

Share this line aloud:

“The world may try to rename you,
But only God can seal you.
And when you know your name in Him,
You walk not in pieces — but in purpose.”

Invite a few members to share what “believe to believe” means to them.

💛 OPTIONAL HANDOUT

Give them a card that reads:

“I am no longer waiting to be inspired.
I believe — in my divine name, my eternal record, and my covenant path.
— Shimmer, Stage Name to the Universe”
