Does anybody use periods in acronyms anymore? Not many. I added the periods to the acronym FEAST above in the title of this post to emphasize that each letter stands for something. In this case, we are talking about FEASTing on the word of God, the scriptures of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

I watched this video below which explains FEAST while getting ready for church this morning. It is sooooo good!

I just love that Brother Halverson has linked a word that involves enjoying everything involving food, the color, the nutrients, all the physical, mental, social, and spiritual aspects of food, which is the word feast, with the spiritual food that is the scriptures. It’s torturing me to put photos of food up right now while I’m fasting on Fast Sunday. I just love food!

Here is what each letter stands for:

F= Find the principle

E= Explain the principle

A= Apply the principle

S= Share the principle

T= Testify of the principle

Wow, this is so powerful! Brother Halverson states that not only is this a formula for finding more meaning in the scriptures, but this is a formula for ministering to others or giving a talk in church. It’s all so wonderful!

If you want more, here’s the website from Deseret Book that this lesson comes from. Go forth and FEAST!

P.S. If you want to dive deep, read what I’ve blogged about food, nourishment, and feasting here.
