Thank you again. You lighten my way to understanding and loving the scriptures more each time I listen to each of you. I love feeling your testimonies of the things you teach!
Taylor and Tyler--Each week, your lessons, and your perspectives on the B.o.M. increase my faith and trust in our Lord and SAVIOR, they also add to my personal testimony of what the restored Gospel can create in man--you both are the great examples that I use to illustrate the influence that the Holy Ghost plays in our time (the end times,I believe)--- your influence,-- given you both by the Holy Spirit, has had a great impact on my family's life-- thank you and bless you both- you will always be in my prayers--- rick
Thank You. I went looking for the restored Church of Jesus Christ and I found it 50 years ago. I am 82 years old and I love the Book of Mormon more and more over the years. I have dreamed many dreams that the Holy Spirit gave me, some were to save my life ( I am a pilot) and some regarding my standing with the Lord and things I needed to improve. Joseph Smith was an open vessel and had to ask God what do do. Every time brother Joseph had a question he went to the Lord in prayer for direction and he received revelation. I see it, as I have had questions and needed help in my life. It was given me after I sincerely asked with real intent, not always immediately, but when I really needed it. God's will be done, as He knows the end at the beginning. Death is only the end of this mortal life and struggles but the beginning of a new adventure when we go home to our past families and loved ones. Nothing in this world is worth sacrificing the joy of going home with gladness and being with our past families in the spirit world. This life is temporary, it is a test. The Spirit World is permanent, so lay up treasures in heaven, have peace and look forward to graduating mortality. Why do some of Heavenly Father's children trade happiness in eternity for the temporary treasures in this life? Look inside your body and the beauty of this earth compared to the chaos of the other planets in our solar system. We can see God's work everywhere. Amen
Side Note: I am 78 years old, did not serve a mission (joined the Navy at age 17), primary calling in church has been "teaching" (with a couple of short stints as Bishop of Single Ward, and High Priest stuff), taught at university level of over 30 years. "Oh that I would have known then what I am learning now"!!! Simply want to report that I am doing 3-5 different Come Follow Me podcasts each week (I am scrambling in an attempt to catch up- my life has been very much filled with trial and turmoil). Whose podcast do I view to start the week? Of course Tyler and Taylor's. Why? because their presentation provides a solid mental model for the week's lesson material e.g. their weekly podcast effectively serves me in the name of having a functional contextual "mental image" in my head, into which I can comfortably filter and store, compare and contrast, the content from other presenter's podcasts. Thank you for the personal assistance you continue to provide to and for me- what a blessing! May Heaven's blessings continue to pour out upon you two!
Every week my wife and I come away from these lessons absolutely fascinated with your insights. We deeply appreciate you both!!! Thank you for being such a blessing to our family!
I so appreciate the time and your talents that you share with us. I never realized the first gift that Jesus gave but what a sign. Sometimes we just don’t realize how much information Mormon gave us. And I am thankful for your clarification. God Bless you both for strengthening my testimony and faith
I usually read the lesson again right before I listen to you guys. Today I was impressed to listen first to you and then to read the lesson. I know that I will now be able to read the lesson again with a better understanding of what is actually going on. I have struggled with "studying" my scriptures. I am not sure I have been doing it right all these years. But listening to you today, I have had answers given about how to actually study. Even though you are teaching me, I feel that this is studying. I take notes every time I listen to you. I have learned so much from you guys. Today is no exception. I love your testimonies and I can feel the love that you have for Heavenly Father and for Jesus Christ. Thank you again for such a wonderful lesson.
I have been fascinated by the concept of time my entire life and I was grateful for the powerful reminder in your lesson today, that the Lord knows the exact timing of all things.
The more I read the Book of Mormon the more I see its application to the here and now of our day. Your lessons bring out so much that aids in even greater clarity. Thank you.
I appreciate you both. Thank you for the kind of lives that you live which allows you to teach with the Spirit. It blesses me every week and I am grateful.
I really feel the spirit with your lessons and know that the Book if Mormon us definitely for our day and what we are going through right now. Thank you so much!
Thank you for this lesson, in particular your closing comments. I am going through something right now and your comments lifted me out of the despair I was sinking into. Thank you and may Our Father bless and keep you always.
i love the quote by JR Tolkien. I often feel like I want to go out and save the world. I want to do some grand thing on the earth and I love the image of keeping our gardens sustainable for future generations. The older I get the more I realize that doing this is a pretty grand thing. Thank you for your insights, they are inspired and helping so many including myself.
Excellent lesson. I really felt the Spirit in your teaching. (and I almost didn’t do the lesson because of such a frustrating day, but something pulled me as if saying, “you need to do this.”).
Tyler, thank you for the example of your daughter. Our family is in a moment of major transition and I’ve been praying for guidance for more than a year with only small glimpses of answers. But your daughter’s wise answer also applies in my case that I am needing to learn for myself what I truly want instead of being told what Heavenly Father wants me to do; I’m learning to trust Him in a way that I haven’t had to when the answers have been clear-cut and given completely, and I think I’m also learning spiritual maturity as I try to make the decision with my husband while seeking confirmation that we’re on the right (or a right) path.
After returning to work full time mid August, having been furloughed since the end of March, these lessons have been my "hour of of peace and rest". I love them, I learn from them, I'm inspired by them and I make notes as I go along. Thank you both so much for sharing your knowledge, your love of the Scriptures and your testimonies.
Many blessings to you Angela! Having spent a long time unemployed and looking for work in the past I can empathize a bit with you. All the best. -Taylor
WOW, EXCELLENT! I always love your lessons because I get so much out of them, but you guys, sometimes they're just extra special .. and this lesson is extra special!
Wow! Talk about the Book of Mormon being written for our day! Everything you taught here is what we need to do today to save our families from what's happening now! Thank you so much. Your lessons are very inspired. It's not a coincidence that we are studying this part of the Book of Mormon this week. God is in the details and has set forth plans, teachings and needed instruction along with providing us with modern Prophets. We are so blessed! I cannot thank you enough!
Thank you both for bringing so much more insight to 3rd Nephi chapters which are very important to us. I have read these chapters and did not seem to go Nair that deep. Thanks for teaching us. I am very privileged to be part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
I loved hearing about Christ’s first miracle upon his birth into the world. I’d never picked up on that before and it really touched me. You both are my favorite “come follow me” on-line teachers. I absolutely love Taylor’s knowledge of Hebrew words. It is fascinating to learn of the possibilities regarding Book of Mormon names. Thanks for your continual preparation and study to help the rest of us feel like we are being spiritually fed on top of our own study and pondering.
I really love your lessons. I've been an active member my entire life (I'm 66 years old) and have read the Book of Mormon multiple times but you both have helped me understand and know it better than any other time in my life. Thank you so much. We love Sundays to hear from you and our next week study.
Thank you, thank you for helping me understand the book of mormon in a way I could not have understood it even though I have been reading it over & over for awhile. Especially with what we are going through in this world today. I love the Savior. I know he is always with me as I face trial after trial. He has not abandoned me or any of us we just need to seek him....
Thank you for the lesson. The part abt the day long prayer in particular. Timing and patience, something I am always trying to understand and achieve. Given the date of this lesson, dare I say Heavenly Father is impressing me to, "Remember." Sept 1st is the anniversary of my father's passing. I have lived on my own since I graduated high school. Twenty years later, finally in a position to purchase my own home. To do so, I had to move in with my parents because the first contract I backed out of due to poor inspection. We were never really a "close" family but we loved each other. Long story short, despite my prayers, tears, impatience and a little anger, and me questioning, "Why God?", it took a year to find a home. End of June I moved, July my father started to get sick, in August went for surgery and a 4 day hospital stay, but he did not make it out. It was sad of course, I was devastated for my mom. But I realized, despite the trajedy of it all, Heavenly Father gave me many wonderful gifts. Because He knows the end from the beginning, He gave me the gift of time with my dad. Time I would have otherwise not spent with him. It may have taken a year to get my home, but His timing was perfect! I can just picture Him saying, "My child, I hear your prayers. I Iove you. Trust that it is for a purpose. Be patient."
I learned years ago that in a Southeast Asian place / country (maybe Laos) that in this culture a person would often change their name to signify a right of passage, or significant life event. That made it hard to track down a person you'd lost contact with. Maybe it's possible that Book of Mormon peoples did this as well. Also, on the subject of the Lord's timing, on a question I asked Him in prayer, He gave me an answer 17 years after that part of my life's mission had begun, and is still continuing. I think it took me that long to be ready for His answer! Thank you for your GREAT lessons. I appreciate the years and decades of study and experience with the Lord that you both share with us! =)
Arlene, yes, something like that could be happening with the names. One of the insights I've gained from studying names is that THE NAME IS THE LESSON. :)
Taylor and Tyler we love your lessons, thanks for being so dedicated to teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ.we appreciate all that you do to help us draw closer to Jesus
From Maxwell, to Tolkien, to your daughter & "White with the spirit of God," just beautiful. This is the lesson which I needed to hear today. It's always good to get different perspectives to go along with personal scripture studies. Thank you both.
I learn so much from you both! Thank you for all your excellent lessons! Sometimes if I have trouble falling asleep (due to life's complex problems). I replay your videos, your kind, caring and loving natures are very comforting and help distract enabling rest to come. ♥️
Thank you so much for all your study and inspiration to teach us every week here. This has really helped me become more involved in the Come Follow Me lessons.
Regarding Gods timing in the book "Killing Patton" is the story of Patton unhappy with God going to so far as to say that God was on the Nazi's side due to a snow storm preventing Patton from engaging the Germans. Yet, the Germans run out of fuel and end up leaving some of their best equipment out of gas. Later Patton prays and acknowledges God as the master strategist. If Patton would have had his way needless deaths would have occurred. This story has stuck with me since reading it several years ago.
John Thompson You can find more on Google about the Pattons Prayer story. A tough sob who had faith. Here is one good webpage ww2today.com/8-december-1944-general-george-s-patton-on-the-importance-of-prayer
@@taylorhalverson3052 Enjoy the insights to the Hebrew names. One I wonder about is Laman as Lama or why in Aramaic with the final nun as continue in. You indicated that Laman was a non covenant keeper which to me is along the lines of continuing to ask why. Learned this through a Rabbi Monk's book who is a Kabbalist. Thanks to both you and Tyler.
@@johnthompson2256 This is a great question! And I had the same thoughts when I started making these discoveries. Who would name their child such a name!? But as I dug deeper, I saw that research in the past several decades has demonstrated that often scriptural names were provided by later writers to make a key point. I've come to learn that names in many of the scriptures were likely given after the fact. And many of the names were like nick-names or descriptors. The name then served as an anchor or as a key idea for that narrative. The significance of the names is an ancient Hebrew literary technique that Joseph Smith would not have known about and lends strong legitimacy to the Book of Mormon's claims for itself as an ancient and authentic witness for Jesus Christ. I'd recommend that you check out the significant research by Dr. Matt Bowen (BYU Religious Education professor) on the topic of name and naming convention in scripture. interpreterfoundation.org/author/matthewb/. Specifically on Laman likely coming from the Semitic words "La" "aman/amen" = not believing see this: www.fairmormon.org/blog/2020/03/17/fairmormon-conference-podcast-53-matthew-bowen-laman-and-nephi-as-key-words-an-etymological-narratological-and-rhetorical-approach-to-understanding-lamanites-and-nephites-as-religious. By the way, why would God call the first man "dirt"? Surely not because Adam acted like dirt. But that is what Adam's name means in Hebrew, to remind all of us that God built us from the dirt/dust and unto dust we will return. We should always choose to be humble (in Latin, humble = dust = Hebrew Adam). So as sons and daughters of Adam, our name reminds us of our need for humility. Many names in the Bible follow this pattern. Eve = “mother of all living” as the first mother. Noah = rest (and grace if you turn his name backwards) because God brought grace and rest to the world after the flood. Abraham = “father of multitudes”, the essence of the Abrahamic covenant. Joseph = “he will gather or add” which is what Joseph of Egypt did to gather or to add to the house of Israel. David = “beloved” because he was the beloved king of Israel. Solomon = “peace” because he was the king who ruled over peaceful Israel. Hope that helps!
I was just able to catch up on this lesson. Thank you. This lesson pertains to the times we are currently experiencing as of now. Scary, but sometimes I look forward to the time when my Heavenly Father and His Son my savior Jesus Christ come back and delivers us back with Him. I pray our government way of life changes for the better....... Sooner than later.
Once again, I just loved your teachings and insights. I have loved the explanation about Zemnarihah and the reminder that "they that be with us are far more than they that be with them". Thank you to have been my Sunday School Teachers during all these months of COVID. Sunday school is back via Zoom, in my ward, which is good, but I am glad that you are also teaching us. It is so edifying en enriching. Thank you again and looking forward to watch your next lesson. Take care and God bless you both!
I’d like to make a point and ask a question The point: that’s an important understanding of apostasy. A catholic cannot aposticize from the LDS church. They never understood it or believed it. The question: are you implying that WHITE isn’t a reference to race, but condition? I’m hoping you are because it would make the conversation about race so much different than it is. To have a “skin” of darkness could mean that they had a very different and distinguishable belief system. And to “become white and fair” would simply mean that they accepted the doctrines of Christ and lived in that space. I’ve always had a problem with the idea that people of a different skin color were “less than” because of it. We need more messages of hope. Thank you so much for suggesting that it truly IS the content of character that’s important.
@@matthewglosenger3180 Yes, it seems that a careful review of how the Nephites made use of colors it didn't refer to race, but to conditions and qualities. At the very least, we cannot seek to understand the Book of Mormon view of color using modern concepts. That would be as crazy as imposing upon the Book of Mormon people our views of modern transportation, warfare, and science, as if they were exactly like us and thought like us. I also think it is significant that only the most basic colors are used by the Nephite writers: White, Black, and Red.
Know that you are appreciated! I generally watch your videos several times over the week because there is so much in them to learn. Thank you so much for your lessons!
Thank you for remind me that Gos hears my prayers and even that I wonder sometimes and I was feeling guilty for not concentrating you make me feel that God's grace is my gift.
One insight I had listening to your lesson was to notice how the language in 3 Nephi 1:11 echoes the language in Alma 46:13 describing Captain Moroni. Both of these men were tremendous types of Christ. And in both of these instances they were praying that God would preserve the freedom and the lives of their people. Beautiful!
Taylor and Tyler thank you again for another great lesson. What you are doing each week is a tremendous blessing to me and my family. We feel your testimony and love of the gospel each week. For me, some of the speculation and time spent around ancient name derivation is a distraction to the spirit I feel when you teach gospel truths. I would appreciate less time on possible historical name meanings and more time on sharing insights on gospel truths. I look forward to your lessons each week. You are an important part of my weekly prayerful study and pondering of the Book of Mormon.
Thanks for the feedback, Mark. Turns out the names are actually a key part of how the scripture lessons were constructed anciently, which is why I share. This is not a teaching technique we use today. But anciently authors used the power of names to teach enduring concepts. We usually miss those concepts because (1) we haven't been taught that technique, (2) we haven't been taught what to look for, (3) and we don't typically know the ancient languages. My hope is to make these truths more apparent, clear, and inviting. My job isn't to convince you of this, so you don't have to feel convinced. :) Still, here's a bit more to consider. As I have studied this literary technique for nearly 30 years, as I dug deeper, I saw that research in the past several decades has demonstrated that often scriptural names were provided by later writers to make a key point. I've come to learn that names in many of the scriptures were likely given after the fact. And many of the names were like nick-names or descriptors.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to you both !! As a covert to the church, now with 6 children to teach the gospel , I feel prepared and know what I’m teaching them is correct because of y’all!! I love your side notes teaching the fun little comparisons like Samuel and King Benjamin... I appreciate your knowledge and love of the gospel ! Just know by your service and Sacrifice your blessing our family !! I don’t know how to say thank you enough !!
My family was driving home to Boise yesterday from Utah and they decided to stop in Brigham City to walk around the temple. They ran into Cheryl Bentenson on the temple grounds painting a picture!! How random is that? My family was so touched by her kindness and sincerity. She seems like a very sweet woman.
Hi from Australia! My father and I enjoy your lessons each week. Thank-you for being our Sunday school teachers. And thank you for finally making sense of the Anti-nephi-Lehis name (Nty - people of)
Correct, in English "fair" does have those meanings. In Egyptian, Nephi means "fair" as in lovely or beautiful but not in the sense of just or justice.
Love the insights Tylor and Taylor have in the scriptures! These times we live in are so much like what we are learning now! We just had a conference and confirmed a new Stake president and taught the priesthood is strong in Christ’s church! Grateful to be a member, and have these blessings to strength me in these times of preparation to receive the coming of Christ !
Tyler, your comment about selfishness in these last days reminds me of something I read in one of my favorite CS Lewis's books, "The characteristic of lost souls is 'their rejection of everything that is not simply themselves'. Our imaginary egoist has tried to turn everything he meets into a province or appendage of the self. The taste for the 'other' (that is the very capacity for enjoying good) is quenched in him, except in so far as his body still draws him into some rudimentary contact with an outer world. Death removes this last contact. He has his wish - to lie wholly in the self and to make the best of what he finds there... and what he finds there is Hell." - C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain - Chapter 8
Thank you SO much for the suggestion to bring our baggage with us ❤️. That is an absolutely wonderful way to apply the Scriptures to us. This lesson was incredibly tender and insightful for me. I have prayed for years and decades for particular blessings to be fulfilled (that the Lord has promised over the years through blessings given to me) and even though I know He hears me, these trials have gone on so long that sometimes I feel I can’t continue to endure and sometimes I’m weak and wonder whether He hears me. It still is difficult to know when those answers will come (it’s so much easier to view it in the past than to endure through it); however, this lesson and what you both shared have strengthened me to hope for that answer (with Nephi’s answer as a pattern and example) and continue to have faith and hope. Your daughter is correct about the waiting - my relationship with the Lord has deepened over the years because I have had to turn myself completely to Him and trust Him. When He says to take upon us His yoke, it’s a beautiful thing - not only does He take that weight and evens our struggles out (so it can be shared and bearable), but also He walks with us shoulder to shoulder with us constantly (keeping us in His company). I love that you pointed out how He saved the Nephites first (even as a newborn baby). What a great lesson! Thank you as always. 😁
when i read his repliy it sounded like something i would write if i wrote something here it is exactly what i have been going through for 30 years i have tried many things to be healed and nothing works and i am getting worse all the time it doesn't help me feel better to know i have company with exactly the same thing. but i hope it helps you to hear about me.
Thank you for this beautiful note. We all need to be regularly reminded that we all struggle from time to time wondering if God hears us, or we may wonder about his timing. I find a community like this encouraging to help me continue enduring to the end.
I absolutely love the comments regarding the letters between the robbers and the Nephites. I love that it was pointed out that it was a lie that they would want the Nephites to join in their spoils because there would no longer be anyone to rob from and evil is a parasite and lives by taking from the good and righteous and is self involved and only takes and never gives back.
Thank you so much for your great lessons. Thank you for your love and goodness and we appreciate so much the time you gave teaching these wonderful truths.
The proclamation to the world did not make sense when we got it until a few years on it was an eye opener, the freedom of religion conference before Durban Temple opening was a huge directive to many hearts, the events in the world now and the 3 NEphi 7:2 and its all before the Lords arrival. The List is Glorious
another brilliant lesson, the Hebrew meanings are so insightful helpful when the word is broken down and explained gives much greater meaning than I have known in the past.
I love hearing these lessons. I've read through the Book of Mormon so many times, but you guys always bring out such a neat perspective on it that I never would've thought about.
Another uplifting lesson. Thanks fo our Heavenly Father who called men to teach us HIs words and what He has for us. BTW, when bro Tyler quoted 3 Nephi 6:18, what appeared in the screen was 3 Nephi 6:23, ok? so verse 23 appeared twice in the screen. Bro Tyler, I have a close friend here in Vitoria, Brazil, whose son was your student when he took The Book of Mormon classes while studying at BYU. He used to be my English student here before he went on a mission. His name is Arthur Maia. I know you may not remember all your students, but I just want to tell yu how much he appreciated being in your classes. Tomorrow we celebrate our Independence Day. I remember Alma 46:13 when Cap. Moroni prays for the freedom in this land ( the 3 Americas) while a group of Christians lived here. I hope the Lord keeps blessing this whole continent. May the Lord keep blessing you two and your families. THANK YOU!
I would like to let you know how much I love this scripture study !! Thank you both for your beautiful testimony - I do not find enough time to study my scriptures but through both of you -you have made it happen especially in my busy world between nursing job and school !! God bless you as I can feel your testimony all the way from California !!! One love Michele Gaussen !!! Blessings !!

We plan to continue for the D&C year!
Thank You. I went looking for the restored Church of Jesus Christ and I found it 50 years ago. I am 82 years old and I love the Book of Mormon more and more over the years. I have dreamed many dreams that the Holy Spirit gave me, some were to save my life ( I am a pilot) and some regarding my standing with the Lord and things I needed to improve. Joseph Smith was an open vessel and had to ask God what do do. Every time brother Joseph had a question he went to the Lord in prayer for direction and he received revelation.

Simply want to report that I am doing 3-5 different Come Follow Me podcasts each week (I am scrambling in an attempt to catch up- my life has been very much filled with trial and turmoil). Whose podcast do I view to start the week? Of course Tyler and Taylor's. Why? because their presentation provides a solid mental model for the week's lesson material e.g. their weekly podcast effectively serves me in the name of having a functional contextual "mental image" in my head, into which I can comfortably filter and store, compare and contrast, the content from other presenter's podcasts.
Thank you for the personal assistance you continue to provide to and
for me- what a blessing!
May Heaven's blessings continue to pour out upon you two!
Wow, what an encouraging note. We are thrilled to hear that you love for the scriptures has been magnified!
Every week my wife and I come away from these lessons absolutely fascinated with your insights. We deeply appreciate you both!!! Thank you for being such a blessing to our family!
And we enjoy having you in this great Sunday school class.

I usually read the lesson again right before I listen to you guys. Today I was impressed to listen first to you and then to read the lesson. I know that I will now be able to read the lesson again with a better understanding of what is actually going on. I have struggled with "studying" my scriptures. I am not sure I have been doing it right all these years. But listening to you today, I have had answers given about how to actually study. Even though you are teaching me, I feel that this is studying. I take notes every time I listen to you. I have learned so much from you guys. Today is no exception. I love your testimonies and I can feel the love that you have for Heavenly Father and for Jesus Christ. Thank you again for such a wonderful lesson.
Thank you Donna!
Donna that is exactly what I did this week as well! I’m so glad I followed that prompting.
Toni, I'm trying to obey those promptings as I receive them. I am amazed that you received the same prompting!!! Awesome!!
I have been fascinated by the concept of time my entire life and I was grateful for the powerful reminder in your lesson today, that the Lord knows the exact timing of all things.
Thank you Daryl!
The more I read the Book of Mormon the more I see its application to the here and now of our day. Your lessons bring out so much that aids in even greater clarity. Thank you.
Great to have you share here!
I appreciate you both. Thank you for the kind of lives that you live which allows you to teach with the Spirit. It blesses me every week and I am grateful.
Thank you for watching!
I really feel the spirit with your lessons and know that the Book if Mormon us definitely for our day and what we are going through right now. Thank you so much!
You are most welcome!
Thank you for this lesson, in particular your closing comments. I am going through something right now and your comments lifted me out of the despair I was sinking into. Thank you and may Our Father bless and keep you always.
Thank you Michael!
You have truely “opened” the Book of Mormon for me! Thank you so much for all the preparation you both put into these lessons. Enjoying them so much!
Great to have you here!
i love the quote by JR Tolkien. I often feel like I want to go out and save the world. I want to do some grand thing on the earth and I love the image of keeping our gardens sustainable for future generations. The older I get the more I realize that doing this is a pretty grand thing. Thank you for your insights, they are inspired and helping so many including myself.
Great reminder, Grace. Thank you!
Excellent lesson. I really felt the Spirit in your teaching. (and I almost didn’t do the lesson because of such a frustrating day, but something pulled me as if saying, “you need to do this.”).
Thank you for this beautiful note!
Tyler, thank you for the example of your daughter. Our family is in a moment of major transition and I’ve been praying for guidance for more than a year with only small glimpses of answers. But your daughter’s wise answer also applies in my case that I am needing to learn for myself what I truly want instead of being told what Heavenly Father wants me to do; I’m learning to trust Him in a way that I haven’t had to when the answers have been clear-cut and given completely, and I think I’m also learning spiritual maturity as I try to make the decision with my husband while seeking confirmation that we’re on the right (or a right) path.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful note!
After returning to work full time mid August, having been furloughed since the end of March, these lessons have been my "hour of of peace and rest". I love them, I learn from them, I'm inspired by them and I make notes as I go along. Thank you both so much for sharing your knowledge, your love of the Scriptures and your testimonies.
Many blessings to you Angela! Having spent a long time unemployed and looking for work in the past I can empathize a bit with you. All the best. -Taylor
WOW, EXCELLENT!
I always love your lessons because I get so much out of them, but you guys, sometimes they're just extra special .. and this lesson is extra special!
Thank you for spending time with us!
Wow! Talk about the Book of Mormon being written for our day! Everything you taught here is what we need to do today to save our families from what's happening now! Thank you so much. Your lessons are very inspired. It's not a coincidence that we are studying this part of the Book of Mormon this week. God is in the details and has set forth plans, teachings and needed instruction along with providing us with modern Prophets. We are so blessed!
I cannot thank you enough!
Thank you Teri!
Thank you both for bringing so much more insight to 3rd Nephi chapters which are very important to us. I have read these chapters and did not seem to go Nair that deep. Thanks for teaching us. I am very privileged to be part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
We love having you here!
I loved hearing about Christ’s first miracle upon his birth into the world. I’d never picked up on that before and it really touched me. You both are my favorite “come follow me” on-line teachers. I absolutely love Taylor’s knowledge of Hebrew words. It is fascinating to learn of the possibilities regarding Book of Mormon names. Thanks for your continual preparation and study to help the rest of us feel like we are being spiritually fed on top of our own study and pondering.
I'm really happy that my many years of lonely study are finally of use to someone! :)
I really love your lessons. I've been an active member my entire life (I'm 66 years old) and have read the Book of Mormon multiple times but you both have helped me understand and know it better than any other time in my life. Thank you so much. We love Sundays to hear from you and our next week study.
This is a really heart-warming note, Greg!

Evil is not self-sufficient it is a parasite that feeds off of goodness and light"

An infinite Savior from His very first day on earth.
Powerful.
Thank you
Thanks Ginger!
Thank you so much for your lessons. Since covid and unable to go to church, we feel we are well fed. We are with you every week in Kentucky!
I love Kentucky! I went to grad school at Indiana U and so the Louisville temple was "my" temple! :)
Thank you, thank you for helping me understand the book of mormon in a way I could not have understood it even though I have been reading it over & over for awhile. Especially with what we are going through in this world today. I love the Savior. I know he is always with me as I face trial after trial. He has not abandoned me or any of us we just need to seek him....
Beautiful note, Ginger!
Thank you for the lesson. The part abt the day long prayer in particular. Timing and patience, something I am always trying to understand and achieve. Given the date of this lesson, dare I say Heavenly Father is impressing me to, "Remember." Sept 1st is the anniversary of my father's passing. I have lived on my own since I graduated high school. Twenty years later, finally in a position to purchase my own home. To do so, I had to move in with my parents because the first contract I backed out of due to poor inspection. We were never really a "close" family but we loved each other. Long story short, despite my prayers, tears, impatience and a little anger, and me questioning, "Why God?", it took a year to find a home. End of June I moved, July my father started to get sick, in August went for surgery and a 4 day hospital stay, but he did not make it out. It was sad of course, I was devastated for my mom. But I realized, despite the trajedy of it all, Heavenly Father gave me many wonderful gifts. Because He knows the end from the beginning, He gave me the gift of time with my dad. Time I would have otherwise not spent with him. It may have taken a year to get my home, but His timing was perfect! I can just picture Him saying, "My child, I hear your prayers. I Iove you. Trust that it is for a purpose. Be patient."
What an absolutely amazing story!
Thank you so much for your time and efforts to share the gospel and draw us towards Christ.
Thanks for spending time with us!
It’s hard to express how much you bless my life every week. Thankyou for your time and efforts!
May God's blessings be with you :)
I learned years ago that in a Southeast Asian place / country (maybe Laos) that in this culture a person would often change their name to signify a right of passage, or significant life event. That made it hard to track down a person you'd lost contact with. Maybe it's possible that Book of Mormon peoples did this as well.
Also, on the subject of the Lord's timing, on a question I asked Him in prayer, He gave me an answer 17 years after that part of my life's mission had begun, and is still continuing. I think it took me that long to be ready for His answer!
Thank you for your GREAT lessons. I appreciate the years and decades of study and experience with the Lord that you both share with us! =)
Arlene, yes, something like that could be happening with the names. One of the insights I've gained from studying names is that THE NAME IS THE LESSON. :)
Christ the Savior came into the world already saving the righteous from their appointed destruction. I love that.
:)
Taylor and Tyler we love your lessons, thanks for being so dedicated to teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ.we appreciate all that you do to help us draw closer to Jesus
Thank you Daniel!
From Maxwell, to Tolkien, to your daughter & "White with the spirit of God," just beautiful. This is the lesson which I needed to hear today. It's always good to get different perspectives to go along with personal scripture studies. Thank you both.
Many blessings to you!
I learn so much from you both! Thank you for all your excellent lessons! Sometimes if I have trouble falling asleep (due to life's complex problems). I replay your videos, your kind, caring and loving natures are very comforting and help distract enabling rest to come. ♥️
Thank you for this beautiful note!
Thank you so much for all your study and inspiration to teach us every week here. This has really helped me become more involved in the Come Follow Me lessons.
Thank you Francie!
Got to meet Brother Griffon Saturday as we took our granddaughter to be with his little daughter, s missionary MTC companion👍🏼❤️🥀
Awesome! Small world.
Regarding Gods timing in the book "Killing Patton" is the story of Patton unhappy with God going to so far as to say that God was on the Nazi's side due to a snow storm preventing Patton from engaging the Germans. Yet, the Germans run out of fuel and end up leaving some of their best equipment out of gas. Later Patton prays and acknowledges God as the master strategist. If Patton would have had his way needless deaths would have occurred. This story has stuck with me since reading it several years ago.
John Thompson You can find more on Google about the Pattons Prayer story. A tough sob who had faith. Here is one good webpage ww2today.com/8-december-1944-general-george-s-patton-on-the-importance-of-prayer
thanks for watching!
@@taylorhalverson3052 Enjoy the insights to the Hebrew names. One I wonder about is Laman as Lama or why in Aramaic with the final nun as continue in. You indicated that Laman was a non covenant keeper which to me is along the lines of continuing to ask why. Learned this through a Rabbi Monk's book who is a Kabbalist. Thanks to both you and Tyler.
@@johnthompson2256 This is a great question! And I had the same thoughts when I started making these discoveries. Who would name their child such a name!? But as I dug deeper, I saw that research in the past several decades has demonstrated that often scriptural names were provided by later writers to make a key point. I've come to learn that names in many of the scriptures were likely given after the fact. And many of the names were like nick-names or descriptors. The name then served as an anchor or as a key idea for that narrative. The significance of the names is an ancient Hebrew literary technique that Joseph Smith would not have known about and lends strong legitimacy to the Book of Mormon's claims for itself as an ancient and authentic witness for Jesus Christ. I'd recommend that you check out the significant research by Dr. Matt Bowen (BYU Religious Education professor) on the topic of name and naming convention in scripture. interpreterfoundation.org/author/matthewb/. Specifically on Laman likely coming from the Semitic words "La" "aman/amen" = not believing see this: www.fairmormon.org/blog/2020/03/17/fairmormon-conference-podcast-53-matthew-bowen-laman-and-nephi-as-key-words-an-etymological-narratological-and-rhetorical-approach-to-understanding-lamanites-and-nephites-as-religious. By the way, why would God call the first man "dirt"? Surely not because Adam acted like dirt. But that is what Adam's name means in Hebrew, to remind all of us that God built us from the dirt/dust and unto dust we will return. We should always choose to be humble (in Latin, humble = dust = Hebrew Adam). So as sons and daughters of Adam, our name reminds us of our need for humility. Many names in the Bible follow this pattern. Eve = “mother of all living” as the first mother. Noah = rest (and grace if you turn his name backwards) because God brought grace and rest to the world after the flood. Abraham = “father of multitudes”, the essence of the Abrahamic covenant. Joseph = “he will gather or add” which is what Joseph of Egypt did to gather or to add to the house of Israel. David = “beloved” because he was the beloved king of Israel. Solomon = “peace” because he was the king who ruled over peaceful Israel. Hope that helps!
I was just able to catch up on this lesson. Thank you. This lesson pertains to the times we are currently experiencing as of now. Scary, but sometimes I look forward to the time when my Heavenly Father and His Son my savior Jesus Christ come back and delivers us back with Him. I pray our government way of life changes for the better....... Sooner than later.
Thank you again for spending time with us!
I'm very thankful to study with your teaching and broad wisdom from the holy ghost.
Once again, I just loved your teachings and insights. I have loved the explanation about Zemnarihah and the reminder that "they that be with us are far more than they that be with them".
Thank you to have been my Sunday School Teachers during all these months of COVID. Sunday school is back via Zoom, in my ward, which is good, but I am glad that you are also teaching us. It is so edifying en enriching. Thank you again and looking forward to watch your next lesson. Take care and God bless you both!
Many blessings to you!
God bless u two and your family❤
Thank you Iceland!
U wellcome Brother Halverson u guys bless me in so many ways, may God bless u and yours.
This is def one of my favourites ❤️
Amen1
Love and appreciate you guys. Thanks for your "insights" into the people of the Book of Mormon.
Thank you Kari!
I’d like to make a point and ask a question
The point: that’s an important understanding of apostasy. A catholic cannot aposticize from the LDS church. They never understood it or believed it.
The question: are you implying that WHITE isn’t a reference to race, but condition?
I’m hoping you are because it would make the conversation about race so much different than it is.
To have a “skin” of darkness could mean that they had a very different and distinguishable belief system.
And to “become white and fair” would simply mean that they accepted the doctrines of Christ and lived in that space.
I’ve always had a problem with the idea that people of a different skin color were “less than” because of it.
We need more messages of hope. Thank you so much for suggesting that it truly IS the content of character that’s important.
@@matthewglosenger3180 Yes, it seems that a careful review of how the Nephites made use of colors it didn't refer to race, but to conditions and qualities. At the very least, we cannot seek to understand the Book of Mormon view of color using modern concepts. That would be as crazy as imposing upon the Book of Mormon people our views of modern transportation, warfare, and science, as if they were exactly like us and thought like us.
I also think it is significant that only the most basic colors are used by the Nephite writers: White, Black, and Red.
My gratitude to you 2. You are wonderful teachers.
The gospel is wonderful! :)
Thank you brothers for sharing a lesson for us latter day saints.i know that God loves me and ur right that Jesus christ knows us and our dssure.
Thank you for spending time with us!
Know that you are appreciated! I generally watch your videos several times over the week because there is so much in them to learn. Thank you so much for your lessons!
Thank you Anne!
Thank you for remind me that Gos hears my prayers and even that I wonder sometimes and I was feeling guilty for not concentrating you make me feel that God's grace is my gift.
God loves you!
How i wish i can meet you two one day.. You are part of my family gathering EVERYDAY.. WE DIVIDED THIS VIDEO FOR 5-6 DAYS each chapter for a day... 😍😍
Thank you Chloe! We'd love to spend time with you and your family!
One insight I had listening to your lesson was to notice how the language in 3 Nephi 1:11 echoes the language in Alma 46:13 describing Captain Moroni. Both of these men were tremendous types of Christ. And in both of these instances they were praying that God would preserve the freedom and the lives of their people. Beautiful!
Fabulous insight! Thanks for sharing your discovery.
Taylor and Tyler thank you again for another great lesson. What you are doing each week is a tremendous blessing to me and my family. We feel your testimony and love of the gospel each week. For me, some of the speculation and time spent around ancient name derivation is a distraction to the spirit I feel when you teach gospel truths. I would appreciate less time on possible historical name meanings and more time on sharing insights on gospel truths. I look forward to your lessons each week. You are an important part of my weekly prayerful study and pondering of the Book of Mormon.
Thanks for the feedback, Mark. Turns out the names are actually a key part of how the scripture lessons were constructed anciently, which is why I share. This is not a teaching technique we use today. But anciently authors used the power of names to teach enduring concepts. We usually miss those concepts because (1) we haven't been taught that technique, (2) we haven't been taught what to look for, (3) and we don't typically know the ancient languages. My hope is to make these truths more apparent, clear, and inviting.
My job isn't to convince you of this, so you don't have to feel convinced. :)
Still, here's a bit more to consider. As I have studied this literary technique for nearly 30 years, as I dug deeper, I saw that research in the past several decades has demonstrated that often scriptural names were provided by later writers to make a key point. I've come to learn that names in many of the scriptures were likely given after the fact. And many of the names were like nick-names or descriptors.

Hope that helps!
I just wanted to say a big thank you to you both !! As a covert to the church, now with 6 children to teach the gospel , I feel prepared and know what I’m teaching them is correct because of y’all!!
I love your side notes teaching the fun little comparisons like Samuel and King Benjamin...
I appreciate your knowledge and love of the gospel ! Just know by your service and Sacrifice your blessing our family !! I don’t know how to say thank you enough !!
Many thanks for your kind note Crystal!!
I love these lessons so much. Thank you for helping me understand the scriptures better🤗
Thank you Suzanne for letting us know!
My family was driving home to Boise yesterday from Utah and they decided to stop in Brigham City to walk around the temple. They ran into Cheryl Bentenson on the temple grounds painting a picture!! How random is that? My family was so touched by her kindness and sincerity. She seems like a very sweet woman.
Small world!
This is my new institute class. 😊
:)
Hi from Australia! My father and I enjoy your lessons each week. Thank-you for being our Sunday school teachers. And thank you for finally making sense of the Anti-nephi-Lehis name (Nty - people of)
You are welcome!
thank you for the spirit that you teach by, it helps so much at this time
Agreed!
I love the dynamic duo of TnT! Thank you for your preparation & insight! Grateful for you both!
We are just a blast to be with, ha ha! (TnT)
Thank you again for another outstanding lesson! I love how humbly you teach His Gospel!
We love the truth!
Thank you so much for your last words, I so needed to be reminded.
You are most welcome!
fair also means honest, clear, straightforward and forthright and even handed - a spiritual virtue. as in fair = just.
Correct, in English "fair" does have those meanings. In Egyptian, Nephi means "fair" as in lovely or beautiful but not in the sense of just or justice.
Thanks Taylor Halverson
You guys are Loved and Have Blessed My Family daily. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this blessing!
Thank you for these weekly lessons. They greatly enrich my understanding of the Book of Mormon.
You are welcome Margaret!
Love the insights Tylor and Taylor have in the scriptures! These times we live in are so much like what we are learning now!
We just had a conference and confirmed a new Stake president and taught the priesthood is strong in Christ’s church!
Grateful to be a member, and have these blessings to strength me in these times of preparation to receive the coming of Christ !
Beautiful note, Shirley!
Thank you as always for your fantastic service in teaching us this day. ♥️
Great to have you here.
Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom! I appreciate the time and efforts to spread His word!
Thank you Toni!
Tyler, your comment about selfishness in these last days reminds me of something I read in one of my favorite CS Lewis's books, "The characteristic of lost souls is 'their rejection of everything that is not simply themselves'. Our imaginary egoist has tried to turn everything he meets into a province or appendage of the self.
The taste for the 'other' (that is the very capacity for enjoying good) is quenched in him, except in so far as his body still draws him into some rudimentary contact with an outer world. Death removes this last contact. He has his wish - to lie wholly in the self and to make the best of what he finds there... and what he finds there is Hell."
- C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain - Chapter 8
Excellent quote, thanks for sharing.
Thank you SO much for the suggestion to bring our baggage with us ❤️. That is an absolutely wonderful way to apply the Scriptures to us. This lesson was incredibly tender and insightful for me. I have prayed for years and decades for particular blessings to be fulfilled (that the Lord has promised over the years through blessings given to me) and even though I know He hears me, these trials have gone on so long that sometimes I feel I can’t continue to endure and sometimes I’m weak and wonder whether He hears me. It still is difficult to know when those answers will come (it’s so much easier to view it in the past than to endure through it); however, this lesson and what you both shared have strengthened me to hope for that answer (with Nephi’s answer as a pattern and example) and continue to have faith and hope. Your daughter is correct about the waiting - my relationship with the Lord has deepened over the years because I have had to turn myself completely to Him and trust Him. When He says to take upon us His yoke, it’s a beautiful thing - not only does He take that weight and evens our struggles out (so it can be shared and bearable), but also He walks with us shoulder to shoulder with us constantly (keeping us in His company). I love that you pointed out how He saved the Nephites first (even as a newborn baby). What a great lesson! Thank you as always. 😁
when i read his repliy it sounded like something i would write if i wrote something here it is exactly what i have been going through for 30 years i have tried many things to be healed and nothing works and i am getting worse all the time it doesn't help me feel better to know i have company with exactly the same thing. but i hope it helps you to hear about me.
Thank you for this beautiful note. We all need to be regularly reminded that we all struggle from time to time wondering if God hears us, or we may wonder about his timing. I find a community like this encouraging to help me continue enduring to the end.
@@lillianfager2262 Thank you Lillian!
I so love these lessons...!! I look forward each week to listen and learn...!!!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you! Know that YOU'RE LOVED TOO!
Thank you!
I absolutely love the comments regarding the letters between the robbers and the Nephites. I love that it was pointed out that it was a lie that they would want the Nephites to join in their spoils because there would no longer be anyone to rob from and evil is a parasite and lives by taking from the good and righteous and is self involved and only takes and never gives back.
Thank you so much, excellent presentation
Thank you so much for your great lessons. Thank you for your love and goodness and we appreciate so much the time you gave teaching these wonderful truths.
What a powerful inspiration and love we feel as you unpack the Book of Mormon. We are so blessed to be part of the family of this wonderful Gospel
Thanks Rose!
The proclamation to the world did not make sense when we got it until a few years on it was an eye opener, the freedom of religion conference before Durban Temple opening was a huge directive to many hearts, the events in the world now and the 3 NEphi 7:2 and its all before the Lords arrival. The List is Glorious
Thanks Tina!
May you both be blessed for your time and effort in blessings us who study, feel the Spirit, and work with your messages
Thank you for your weekly support Lana!

You are welcome!
Thank you. Really appreciate your insights on the scripture blocks.
And we appreciate you!
I absolutely love these weekly lessons! Thank you two so very much.
We love having you here!
So thankful for all your effort in making these!
We sure do appreciate you!
Thank you both for your teachings and love ❤️
Great to have you here, Vee!
another brilliant lesson, the Hebrew meanings are so insightful helpful when the word is broken down and explained gives much greater meaning than I have known in the past.
Thanks Rachel for being a great supporter!
Still an excellent, wonderful lesson! As always, T n T, you're doing the best. You really unpack the Book of Mormon! You're blessed!
What a blessing you both are! Thank you for the beautiful Spirit that accompanies all of your lessons!💕🙏

I love studying the scriptures, following your knowledge. I'm getting a better understanding of the scriptures. It is wonderful. Thank you very much!
Excellent to hear this!
I loved the lesson today thank you so much.
you are most welcome!
I love hearing these lessons. I've read through the Book of Mormon so many times, but you guys always bring out such a neat perspective on it that I never would've thought about.
There is power in numbers! There is great joy in studying and learning together.
Know that You are both loved, too ~ good brothers & appreciated!
Thank you Vicki!
Thank you
You are welcome!
Another uplifting lesson. Thanks fo our Heavenly Father who called men to teach us HIs words and what He has for us. BTW, when bro Tyler quoted 3 Nephi 6:18, what appeared in the screen was 3 Nephi 6:23, ok? so verse 23 appeared twice in the screen.
Bro Tyler, I have a close friend here in Vitoria, Brazil, whose son was your student when he took The Book of Mormon classes while studying at BYU. He used to be my English student here before he went on a mission. His name is Arthur Maia. I know you may not remember all your students, but I just want to tell yu how much he appreciated being in your classes.
Tomorrow we celebrate our Independence Day. I remember Alma 46:13 when Cap. Moroni prays for the freedom in this land ( the 3 Americas) while a group of Christians lived here. I hope the Lord keeps blessing this whole continent. May the Lord keep blessing you two and your families. THANK YOU!
Thank you for this note, Tania! And sorry about that quote mistake. :) I've forwarded your note to Tyler
Thank you for these videos, they help me so much!
Much love to you!
I would like to let you know how much I love this scripture study !! Thank you both for your beautiful testimony - I do not find enough time to study my scriptures but through both of you -you have made it happen especially in my busy world between nursing job and school !! God bless you as I can feel your testimony all the way from California !!! One love Michele Gaussen !!! Blessings !!
Thank you Michele and many blessings in the important work of nursing!
