You've discovered literary echoes in scripture. You see how Abraham's near-sacrifice of Isaac points to God's actual sacrifice of Jesus. You notice how God "remembering" Noah triggers the same pattern as God "remembering" his covenant with Israel. The connections thrill you during personal study.

Then Sunday arrives. You stand before fifty ward members with varying scripture knowledge, limited attention spans, and that one person who always derails the lesson. You want to share what you've discovered, but you face immediate obstacles:

You don't have time to search everything. You're afraid of finding connections that aren't real. Your class resists anything that sounds academic. And honestly, you're not great with technology or search tools.

These aren't minor concerns. They're legitimate teaching challenges that stop most teachers from ever attempting to teach literary echoes. But here's the truth: every single obstacle has a practical solution. You don't need more time, more certainty, more cooperative class members, or better tech skills. You need specific strategies that work within your real-world limitations.

This guide addresses each obstacle head-on with concrete solutions you can implement immediately. No theory. No wishful thinking. Just practical answers to the four most common reasons teachers avoid teaching literary echoes, even when they personally find them valuable.
