At the beginning.
The 6 questions with the first set of beliefs:

The questions to answer on each master are:

1. How do the actions of that master demonstrate ‘A’?
2. In what order does the master do ‘B’?
3. How important was it that the order of actions, ‘C’, be done the way they were?
4. How does ‘C’ show the masters’ belief in ‘A’?
5. What other beliefs does that master demonstrate through his/her actions and words?
6. What else have I learned from the beliefs, actions and words of that master?

belief set 1
A That God is a supreme being to be loved and worshiped
B Worshiped God in some way
C Fasting for a purpose, prayer, and meditation, was devoutly spiritual in an observable way. Made and attended churches, made priests to teach, praised and adored God
D (Moroni 10:32) {memorization # 2, 18}

What Jedi Master have you chosen?

Keep in mind that the answers to belief set 1 can be entirely different depending on your personal emphasis and point of view.

and my other fav...

🌌 Jedi Master Gideon – The Guardian Who Stood Alone
“He drew his sword alone—not to rule, but to restore righteousness.”

1. How do the actions of that master demonstrate ‘A’?
(That God is a supreme being to be loved and worshiped)
Gideon’s love for God was shown not in sermons, but in righteous confrontation. He stood alone against King Noah—knowing full well the danger—and later faced Nehor alone, defending truth. He believed that God’s law was higher than man’s fear.

2. In what order does the master worship God (‘B’)?
1. He confronts a wicked king, risking his life to stop oppression (Mosiah 19:4).
2. He becomes a spiritual counselor, not a self-seeking leader (Mosiah 22:3–9).
3. He helps liberate an entire city through wisdom and courage.
4. He continues as a righteous servant under Limhi and Alma.
5. He confronts Nehor—a false teacher—alone and without fear (Alma 1:7–9).
6. He dies defending doctrine, not defending himself.

3. Why was the order of ‘C’ so important?
Gideon’s story shows us that personal courage can lead to public influence.
He didn’t start as a leader—he acted when no one else would.
His wisdom and actions were built on a foundation of personal integrity.
Gideon’s power came not from position, but from choosing to act when others stood silent.

4. How does ‘C’ show belief in ‘A’?
Gideon believed in a God of justice, truth, and priesthood order.
He fought not for fame, but for righteousness.
He didn’t wait for permission—he acted, knowing God’s law outweighed any earthly risk.

5. What other beliefs does this master demonstrate?
• That truth must be defended—even when no one stands beside you.
• That righteous action sometimes looks like confrontation.
• That defending the faith is worth more than defending your life.
• That being “strong in the Lord” is quiet but unshakable.

6. What else have I learned from this master’s solitary, faithful path?
Gideon teaches me that faith is truly a principal of power. His faith caused him to stand with courage for truth’s sake.
He wasn’t the loudest voice in the room, but he was always the one doing the right thing—even if it cost him everything.
He is the quiet Jedi Knight archetype—the one who dies standing, not kneeling.
He didn’t need any acceptance other than that from Jesus.

🛡️ Scripture Echo:
“He was an instrument in the hands of God…”
(Alma 1:9)
