Incredible insights into the most beautiful chapter! I love the subtle yet plain details that you brought to life. I’m falling in love with the Book of Mormon all over again. And my feelings for Jesus Christ are growing and deepening as I understand His word better. Thank you!
Brother Jared...This section of scripture has always been filled with the light of truth and compassion for me. After being privileged to be part of your lesson, has made it even more so...a bright day of eternity. My prayers are with you, and my soul rejoices line upon line in the Spirit...I feel greatly blessed to be part of your audience...very glad that you chose teaching rather than engineering. Thank the Lord😇...David
Thank you for talking about LGBTQ Persons in the church. I was around since 70’s. When Gays were being prosecuted for being in a same sex relationships ( not everybody was so cruel. The friends and other people who were Allies.) I fell from the church for a very long time. Until I found out that the church issues about gay persons has changed Positively . I was so happy to go to church. I went back towards the church. Lot of my brothers and sisters welcome me with open arms. My face was drenched with tears of happiness. You are such a great teacher and you make the watchers of your UA-cam channel feel like family. When you mentioned LGBTQ I felt very proud to be a LDS member. Many things from your teachings are awesome and making the lessons great to watch. Many thanks brother Halverson.
I'll surely never earn the congratulations you have for going back to church. I commend you for finding what works for you, absolutely. For a long time I served my heart out in the church, thinking that if I just prayed enough, worked enough, served enough, went to the temple enough, did whatever else ENOUGH, God would "fix" me. I was still of the mindset that I was "broken" simply because of who I was attracted to. And I believed what I read in that terribly destructive book, miracle of forgiveness, wherein people like us are repeatedly called "perverts," "degenerates," "filthy," "wicked"...... I believed that was how God felt about me. My therapist that I see calls that one of the biggest traumas that has happened to me in my life -- the messages I received/believed from the church that I was no good and that God hated me simply because I was inclined to men rather than women. Haven't been to church in 7+ years and really have no intention to go back. I don't think the powers that be in SLC really care about us, I think it's just political BS -- they know people are getting fed up with homophobia in society, and people with an LGBT loved one are not choosing the church over the loved one, they are leaving the church instead, and so they have to do something to act like they love us. (People shouldn't ever be put in position to have to choose a loved one or a religion, but that's a whole other story.) Plus I know if I went back I'd be forced to go through a court and be excommunicated probably for several years anyway. So why try? I'll go back just to be kicked out anyways. The 2 years I spent with my ex partner were the 2 happiest years of my adult life. I can't see god (who, at this point, I can't decide if is something totally different from what I always believed, or doesn't exist at all, or if he is really as it says in the Bible/BoM, then he's the biggest S.O.B. in the universe for how he treats people) -- i can't ever see this "god" bringing any kind of happiness to my life. of all the people that have abandoned me, he's at the top of the list.
Thank you Brother Halverson for your insights and explanations. They help very much to analyze from different points of view. I hope to be able one day to teach and explain the gospel as well as you do. Keep safe, I pray for us all.
I love the attention you put on the verbs, pronounce, and other parts of speech. That is helping increase my understanding and I love your digressions to personal stories or to other scriptures. Thank you!
Brother Halverson, thank you for teaching each week. I can literally feel the Holy Ghost when you teach and I can see the light of Christ even through the technology. You are doing the Lord’s work and are blessing so many.
I am so grateful for the messages you deliver every week. I am so grateful to be edifies by your words. Thank you so much for your words of encouragement to the LGBTQ community. I have a child that has left the church because they had a hard time feeling connected to the people in church despite having a testimony.
Thank you for your insights Bro Halverson. I have to say I often feel 'spiritual overload' and have to remove myself and have some time for reflection, in order to be able to absorb and understand things. I felt bad about it, as if I wasn't being grateful for what I was learning, but now I understand, that the Saviour also understands my weakness.
I recently discovered your channel. I am addicted! Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and insight with us. I looked up the definition of the word "groan." It is a sound of despair. One of its synonyms is the word 'bleat.' I felt that description of the sound Christ made was so fitting!
Thank you so much for talking about TGBTQ stuff at minute 43. I'm gay and trying to hold on the gospel, even though so many others leave. I love the scripture you shared. I think it applies to our situation very well. Thank you.

Thankyou so much for talking about us LGBT s!. I discovered Isaiah 56 a couple of years ago. And it is one of my favorites!. Im a convert to our church of 3 years. And I counted the cost......which seemed very high at first. But now I realize more and more , nothing compared to the cost the savior paid.
What a beautiful comment. Thank you for your courage and faith--and your powerful perspective on what the highest costs of discipleship are, and Who paid them. The Church is more like Zion with you as a part of it.
Thank you, Jared, for this greater insight. We moved my mother into our home a month ago as she now needs 24-hour care. 17:7-9 touches me deeply after hearing your thoughts. Thank you so much for beautiful lessons every week!! We adore your uncle and it was so fun to know you are his nephew. You reflect a similar light and tenderness. 🥰
Any resemblance to Uncle Mike I consider a great compliment! And I'm grateful the verses about the Lord's compassion for caregivers was a blessing to you. Caregivers do so much "heavy lifting" physically, emotionally, and spiritually--you deserve to know of the Lord's love for you!
Muchas gracias por el esfuerzo que hace para darnos la oportunidad de. Aprender y encontrar puntos esenciales en estos estudios de ven sígueme. La palabra por está muy bien coordinada en esos versículos, habla usted muy bien el español, saludos hermano.
I just want to thank you for your efforts to share this with everyone. I have a lot to learn and a lot to change in my life. It’s has been great right up to when you said you were from California. Lol
Such flowing and so many insights, WOW, And a big Thank you. As I listened to you, today, I thought about Those who refuse to consider the content found on these pages, Their loss, And what would be their Gain to have these marvelous words To pause over, To ponder in, To pray through, To prepare by, And to persist on?
My husband and I have a question regarding the Angels coming down and surrounding the little ones in Fire. Is the Fire some kind of symbolism for cleansing or something? I also wanted to let you know, after watching or attempting to watch and study during this quarantine... We have tried to learn/follow several different 'instructors' teaching the Come Follow Me curriculum and I learn and understand what you teach and discuss so much more than any other method. Thank you for your time in preparing and sharing your insights!
Kristina Corrigan i’m not a scripture scholar by any means but most the time I interpret seems like this the fire is the Holy Ghost when somebody is filled with the Holy Ghost you can see it in their eyes and in their demeanor
I hope these thoughts makes sense. Most of the time I can “see” very clearly what I want to say in my head but they appear as a foreign language when in print. One of the ways I understand the idea of fire when talked about in the Scriptures or personal experiences is as an example of power, in the sense of righteousness. One example I think of is Joseph Smith‘s experience in the first vision. He records in one version that he thought fire was coming down out of heaven when the Father and Christ appeared, but when it reached the leaves of the trees, nothing was burned. I think of it also in terms of how President Boyd K Packer explained it. He said, “authority comes by ordination, power comes by righteousness.“
Have you recorded your presentations together so that I can listen to it wherever I am. It is so beautiful, so deep so wise what you share with us. Thank you brother. President Kimbal is my prophet! I was baptized then .... in 1981. Greetings from an old lady from Belgium
It's a blessing to make friends all over the world. You are a real pioneer, and must be such a strength in a place where faith isn't always popular or easy. Thank you for your example!
Hermano Halverson: Soy Adriana Olvera en Provo, Utah. Me han gustado mucho sus lecciones que da del Libro de Mormón. Hoy estuve viendo su clase de 3 Nefi 17-19 - Súper interesante! Escuche conceptos que antes no había entendido, como la escritura de Isaías y su explicación para los que se sientes que no “encajan”. En cuanto a su comentario de algún hispano hablante que quisiera comentar de el “por” y “para”, En Google explica las definiciones muy claramente: “por” se utiliza para explicar la causa o motivo de algo; mientras que “para” suele referirse a la finalidad de una acción. Lo que yo puedo decir es lo siguiente en cuanto a la escritura de 3er Nefi 17:17 Si Cristo dice: “Yo voy a orar por ustedes”. Es que El va a hacerlo vicariamente, porque nosotros no podemos todavía estar en la presencia del Padre. Por- es una intercesión. Esa es la explicación. Si Cristo dice: “Yo voy a orar para ustedes”.

Thank you for what you do. You've helped me more than you'll ever know. It's been wonderful to have someone explain the emotion and psychology found in the Book of Mormon to me . It seems to parallel some of my real life situation. Your guidance has literally moved me to tears on occasion. (Like today🥺🥴) BTW...I think your sister and I have some things in common. 😉 God bless you!
@42:40 ish- Your wife Proved to you the ideas of womanhood? That’s its better than anything that can be conceived? Your Wife was proof to a skeptic that it’s better than anything you can imagine? Either she made you include this random out of place section about your marriage (which, you’re right, it doesn’t make sense) Or you somehow transitioned to be a woman? Lmao

Such beautiful words! I'm grateful the scriptures are having their intended effect in your life. Thanks for letting me be a part of your study!
I didn't think you could top any of your lessons, but this one had me reaching for a tissue now and then. Thank you so much for sharing.
You are so welcome! Hard to beat 3 Nephi 17!

Wow, so beautifully expounded especially with lgbt's , thank you for sharing the hope and promise for all! God loves everyone, all are special!
Beautifully put. And thank you for wanting to share God's love with all His children!
Thank you very much! Knowing how much our Savior pray for us and love us so much. So grateful 😍👏

Thank you Brother Halverson! Sister Peach

Si Cristo dice: “Yo voy a orar por ustedes”. Es que El va a hacerlo vicariamente, porque nosotros no podemos todavía estar en la presencia del Padre.
Por- es una intercesión. Esa es la explicación.
