Perfect way to start the Sabbath day….good to have your light in my home brother Jared❤️😇
I loved the one word in the scripture ...repent. Coupling that with taking off our sin filled robe and exchanging it for a white one while he takes the red one was a powerful lesson for me to visualize about repentance. Thank you so much!
Brother Halverson you have helped me to love the teachings of The Doctrine and Convenants. I so look forward to our time in the Old Testament.
Brother Halverson, I am so looking forward to studying the Old Testament next year with you. I have learned so much this year that I simply can't wait in anticipation of what is coming. I really have appreciated all of the testimonies and lessons you've given us. Thank you and God bless you! I would also like to meet you someday. When I come to Utah I am going to look you up. I'd like to give you a great big hug and thank you personally!
This is the best explanation of the Atonement that I've ever heard. Thank you, Brother Halverson.
To all fellow students of Brother Halverson: As we diligently prioritize our time to study with him each week we will be empowered by personal revelation to be directed as instruments in the Lords hands to bless every life we touch.
Wow a Sabbath gift, thankyou brother, thanks for your weekly sacrifice in doing these lessons with your time. It shows its been live for an hour that makes it a very early morning upload over in Utah as its just turned 12 here in the 🇬🇧. Roll on after my lunch when I can view it !!!
17:14 to 29:42 - Best rift and approach to teaching coming out of Babylon.
We appreciate your teaching abilities on the gospel. I Come Away with so much more. I was not able to make it to church today so I use this lesson as my Sunday school class lessin . Great story with the missionaries. That's the way it works. Keep up the good work of the Lord. I look forward for every listen you have on UA-cam.
Never too long, Brother Halverson! Wonderful teachings! 🧡💙💚💛
I love the way you teach it is so beautifully presented. It brings so much more understanding than any of the others, although they are good, you are excellent thank you for sharing you knowledge and testimony may the lord continue to bless you
Brother H. I think we should have a "live' class at the end of the year to celebrate "enduring to the end" (🤣🤣🤣) your wonderful class! I would love to "meet" your wife as I am sure many of us would.
Thank you for everything. I have stuck it out almost every lesson this year and I have been soooo blessed. Thank you for sharing your gift and putting this class into your busy schedule so we all can have the spiritual things opened to us. It is like having Institute online. Thank you!!
PS I'll bring cookies!!

I agree GFSongbird! Behind every great man is a GREAT woman. I too thinks he needs to have his wise sweet wife on line with him even for a short introduction!
Yes, this! ❤️
The way you said, "Many are called, but few are chosen" the spirit whispered "Many ate called, but few choose"
I watch and listen to several different teachers every week. This week Ben Wilcox said he is related to you. I realize there are many who claim they don’t have time and for some that might be true. Often, I have my ear buds in as I go about my day. This week, among many gems throughout your lesson, the realization that the restored church included ALL PEOPLE, ALL COLORS, ALL CULTURES and pressure from outside the Church forced the negro exclusion that we have been accused of. Thank you for these lessons and for your diligence in the face of adversity. I can’t wait to study the Old Testament and I never thought I would ever say that. You have so beautifully connected us.
Thank you brother Havelson.. you help me understand so much about the laws and history that still applies to today's times ... I don't watch any Babylon movies or music because I know is not what will please God in any way .. today as soon as someone started watching tv and they invited me to watch..I said I don't watch anything that comes from Babylon and that was the end of discussion they change it.... thank youuuu .... God bless you and your sweet wife and family ..
Thank you , we are learning so much and applying principles into our lives, A coupleweeks ago we had several challenges and your lesson regarding Liberty Jail and the challenges Joseph faced helped me get through our own challenges. Also our daughter and granddaughter are also watching you now and find you so helpful. thank you so much!
I have learned SO MUCH!!! This has been such a wonderful BLESSING! THANK YOU! THANK YOU for such dedication and willingness to expand your talents to the rest of us. I am EXCITED for what comes next!! I pray you and your household are blessed for your willingness to serve…😊
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
1:18 - Where did the dirt go? Why are the Savior's robes red? powerful explanation!
Oh Brother Jared
I have been trying to get young and all people I come across come out of things that God doesn't like and want in his childrens lives, No it doesn't matter what faith your are in.
One person,hugged me and let me know that I Care more about her than family and herself.
And I give things that her child needs - not being told, sharing stories of the Book Of Mo
And teach her how to bake as she cooks other things for me.
I'm disabled and she is a great help to me and friend.
One of her Great Grand Mothers are in the Church, so I told her we are family in a way.
She is trying to stop smoking, and doing more things
Not that she was bad before, but she loves the Missionaries and the Church people who she meets .
And I tell my children that they need to continue to clean out the music and things that God doesn't want around him

What is the name of the painting in the thumbnail?

Actually the longest word in the English language is, pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis... It is a lung disease. ;)
Thank you another wonderful lesson. It made me think of President Nelson's talk on the need for repentance and that it's a wonderful gift I then wondered what the word "repent" means in Hebrew and Greek. Maybe someone will find this interesting: Hebrew: Teshuva is returning to what is right and pure. It is returning to innocence. Aside from showing regret and remorse, it is returning to the original plan of God. To live with Him, consult with Him, fellowship with Him, and obey Him. It is regretting our sin and showing remorse, yes. The Greek writers used the Greek word metanoeo to refer to repentance. Metanoeo means a change of mind, thought, or thinking so powerful that it changes one's very way of life. ... Both words mean thoroughly changing or turning from evil to God and righteousness.
Thank you! I love this~
At 47:09 or so you said, "Repentance is the rope the Lord lowers to us; repentance is the Lord's helping hand. I really like that.
Brother Halverson, Never think that WE don't need and love your full and incredible teaching ways. The time you give is the BEST gift and you give it so freely. I appreciate your family for supporting your efforts on our account. We learn more than we ever have in Come Follow Me. Words are not big enough. I have read the D&C many times and often I say to myself after a section. . . Have I even read this Book? WOW. You are a marvelous, clear, and extra-edifying instructor. I, at 71, feel so very fortunate to learn from you. Thank you for eternity. Sheila Somerville
Thanks again for your insight. You approach sensitive subjects with love and by example.
Oh! I LOVE the way you teach! It makes perfect sense, I truley Believe you are guided by the Holy Spirit, evh time you teach. Thank you!!
Many are called few are chosen..
You were chosen thank you for heeding the call❤
Will said!
Well said!
Well said. This is my favorite podcast and I learn so much every time. I'll listen to each episode multiple times and am so grateful, not only for the additional clarity and clarity, but for how he also adds his testimony. I feel edified and a greater desire to learn more. Thank you!!
Lovely to receive this on the Sabbath day. A lovely surprise, Jared. May God bless you and family 💙
Thank you for all your efforts and love of the Lord, the gospel, and us! We treasure the knowledge and understanding we get here with Unshaken! 🙏💛
I usually get 1/2ish way through the video and start diving into the gospel library app looking for understanding. This one I listened to the whole thing, I cannot help but to know that He is calling all of us. All of this is in preparation for His arrival. He is coming, thank you for helping prepare to go out an meet Him.
Brother Jared…music is such a powerful medium…it can influence the Spirit of any atmosphere. We have been. Continually admonished by wise leaders to choose the influence that leads us towards good. I personally thank you as being one of these good influences in my home, and to my love of the scriptures. Your lessons have become a song of truth to my understanding…..Keep singing my good brother😇❤️. David
I'll join my bass tone to singing the same feelings of gratitude! Sure appreciate your methods. It is a easy conduit for the spirit to speak truth and provide light to me! Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and the time you devote. I look forward to each lesson every week. I have such a greater understanding of the scriptures. What a blessing.
So glad I came across with this lesson. It's like a light that was given more electricity and became way brighter. Thank you for qhat you do. God truly finds a way to help us understand his words qhen we look for it. Thanks again.
I just subscribed to your UA-cam channel after visiting my parents. They mentioned that you are one of the best on the typic pertaining to the Follow Me series of videos. So, with this in mind, I may have watch your videos to help me learn more on what we are going through. I really struggle with scripture study, and need some encouragement. Thank you for such great advice. I look forward to watching more.
When you mentioned the type of music, it is hard for me to listen to the radio. I either listen to audio books, The Piano Guys, or something uplifting. I think it helps us to listen to great music or podcasts, or audio books that inspire us. Thank you for your example of Babylon and Christ's Church.
Another great session and I really like the picture you used and the comment that He wares red so that we can ware white. Thank you so much for your compassion and desire to reach all.
I’m really grateful for the insight and personal experience you share! There are several people on UA-cam sharing their scriptural thoughts on the D&C, but you have become my personal daily institute class. Your service brings light and positivity to every day. Thank you!Wish I had found you sooner!
I loved that you separated 132 from the others and that we had a detailed description of eternal marriage and the commandment given to live in polygamy. I come from John Taylor’s family and am grateful for their efforts in keeping that commandment. Such a tough thing and I wouldn’t blame the women for not enjoying it. Thanks for the detailed description and I hope that others can be humble and hear the lessons to be learned from the Lord
I would LOVE a deep dive study into “proving contraries.” I watched your other video on it at the university recently. I watched it over and over. Then I shared it with my friends and we have all learned something new. I’m just sad because you had to condense the discussion to 30 minutes and you skipped a few slides. Would LOVE full discussion on that on your channel. It’s enlightening!
I too would love a deep dive into “proving contraries”
Oh sec 133 has so many beautiful scriptures. You gave us such beautiful language to help us understand them. "Robes if reminding red" "Ill give you robes of righteousness if youll give me your rags of sin." Thank you!
I have had to diligently work to get caught up with all of the lessons that I missed after being sick with, and recovering from, COVID-19 … but am now up to speed with this lesson! It has been a blessing to “binge watch” your lessons. Thank you for all you have done to teach us and help us to stand UNSHAKEN in the gospel.
Infinitas gracias a usted por la enorme labor que está haciendo y a su familia por su apoyo. Lo dije en otros comentarios anteriores: Sus videos son respuesta a una petición que le hice a mi Padre Celestial y aprecio y valoro todo lo que hace, que es muchísimo. Admiro su amor y dedicación al servicio. Infinitas gracias. Que Dios le bendiga siempre.
At 21 you talk about Zion and babylon. I've never seen the difference until now. From this scripture Babylon is individual, selfish, disconnected. Zion is a body, a covenant collective with its epicenter being Christ, the heart and soul, the bread and water, rooted, together, connected, supported, supportive of one another, not divided, one in mind and body that cannot fall like an individual, a human, alone, swaying with every random thought man presents, unrooted in truth, uncovenanted, disconnected from the true vine and body of Christ.
It is Thanksgiving today. I am giving many sincere, heart felt thanks to you and your family for sacrifices that you have made and continue to make to bring your wonderful, informative presentations on the scriptures to us. What a fantastic blessing. I joined the Church 50 years ago, and have been studying the scriptures ever since, and will continue to do so. Your presentations and information help tremendously. Sincere thanks again.
On my mission in 1972 we responded to a referral that the church office in SLC received and forwarded to us in Albany Georgia.
It was from a 17 year old girl who had seen the Osmonds in a concert and found out they belonged to our church and wanted to know more about the church. We were very doubtful about the sincerity of the person because of her age. However we decided to check it out on one of our slow days.
I won't go into everything because it would take to long. What happened was truly incredible. She was so intent on learning more she went to the library and checked out a single copy of the D&C because that was all the had on the church. At the time we met with her she had copied 75 percent of the of the D&C into spiral binders by han because she was
Sorry I was interrupted I will finish about the girl in Georgia. She copied the D&C because she was afraid the library would not allow her to keep checking it out. As we walked up to the her house we could hear her saying in an excited voice "they came they came". She was almost crying as we started to talk to her.
The discussions became a formality to baptism three weeks later. My companion and I were both having a hard time holding back the tears when we left.
Thanks Gary
I love this story.
At 41: “the stress of the last minute run through the airport, did I forget anything “ made me think of the movie Home Alone- we don’t want to forget “anyone “ either😊
I love your thoughts about the people who will be on earth during the Millennial Reign at 2:17:06 into the video. It really speak volume about Christ and how He respects everyone. I know some wonderful people who aren't members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who will be living during the Millennium.
59:00 Aren't gathering and restoring two different ways of bringing the house of Israel back together?
As the tenth article of faith states...gathering, which started with beginning of the restoration and continues...but restoring the ten tribes will be different..they will come as a body as their prophets hear and come forth to help in the building of the New Jerusalem... their coming will be more miraculous than the parting of the Red Sea to save the Israelites...they will us prepare for the Glorious Return of our Savior.
Yes they are two different events. We are gathering scattered Israel right now but the return of the lost 10 tribes is a future event and will be as you said done in a most miraculous way, not by us.
35:00 wake up! In April 2020 I heard the call to wake up from elder Bednar. I know that we have been warned for a while even from the Book of Mormon but this one felt different when it came from Bednar in 2020.
Love this quote "There is no spiritual Switzerland." (Neutrality is not an available choice).
Bro. Halverson, I loved this lesson! When you were talking about His loving-kindness I was reminded of a definition of loving-kindness in Hebrew that I once came across.
Lovingkindness is a word found in older, more traditional versions of the English Bible. The Hebrew word most often translated “lovingkindness” is checed, which literally means “covenant loyalty.”
Maybe I’m too simple, but I guess If I have to populate worlds without number in the eternities....I want ALL the help I can get with other wives. LOVE THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!
❤❤❤ A RREPUBLIC!!! NEVER A DEMOCRACY❤❤❤😂🎉😢😮😅⁶
Thank you, brother Halverson. I am just finishing the last one and I will start this. I understand that you study faith of any kind. I would like to send you a book or two. If you could please see how can I get your address. I can you leave one of my e-mails.
Thank you so much for teaching us Bro. Halvorsen. It has been an answer to many many prayers! Thank you!
I love listening to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir on my tunes or UA-cam videos love them when I listing to mundane music it really makes me feel so dried and feeling so much darkness, so when I listing to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Oh I just feel the Lord's Spirit my favorite song is and that love hearing "The Spirit Of GOD like a fire is burning"....GOD BLESS"🙏
You’re simply the best!! I can’t get enough! You make everything make so much sense! My testimony and faith has become unshakable! I appreciate your understanding of the gospel and all your hard work. I refer you to everyone.
Thank you so much!!! All day have been looking at things asking myself, " 'Babylon" or 'Zion"?" Love how you share your knowledge, but also your personal experiences!
Thank you Sir
At 1:28 you demonstrate a poetic gift "when the conductor appears are we ready to play these songs of praise"
I love your broadcasts and am so grateful for your sharing your knowledge and testimony.
I’m so far removed from home that this helps me feel connected as well as filling my soul with the spirit.
Thank you, beyond words.
It would be easier to live the law of plural marriage than to give up my music. I’m a musician and I love sounds.
Thank you for your dedication to the cause.
I am a little behind and just listened to this beautiful lesson. With your examples, you changed my perspective on how I feel about the return of Jesus Christ! Instead of being concerned with the tribulations that will proceed His coming, I now look at it with joyful anticipation to His return as my grandchildren did when they ran out to greet me and wrap their arms around me when I came to visit or as in your example of being 'so glad when daddy comes home! " Thank you!
A widow of 20+ years living alone with health issues the pandemic has uniquely isolated me and Come Follow Me podcasts have been my family and dovislity - a lifeline to me.
Wonderful lifeline. The changes have been curses and blessings. This is one of the blessings. Thank you Brother Halverson.
Will The Savior return on a white horse?
To me, the last part about the slaves, about 2:20:00 hinges on the word "human beings" and the fact that governments allowed it. Wasn't one of the compromises that a slave was worth 3/5 of a person? They weren't even considered human beings by southerners. That has always comforted me about this, is the last line is a protest about the enslavement of human beings, no matter what their skin color.
I do trust do thankful do grateful do gratitude do stand do serve do follow do faithful do believe Jesus Christ so much as always and forever. ✨🌞🌕😘😍❤️💓💗💕🙏💖
1:35:00 - I'm so glad when Daddy comes home! That was classic description of the early days of fatherhood. Gratefully, I'm still there in that phase.
As I was so interested in what you were teaching, I hardly noticed when your colleague left the room to have something to eat and drink, leaving me alone to listen to your monologue. When I asked you to stop for a few moments, you just carried on speaking. Then I realised that you hadn't even heard my request. I had in fact become dumb as I tried to scream out "please shut up". Then I realised that you weren't even speaking. When you entered my home, unnoticed by me, you had plugged in some sort of audio device. In desperation, I pulled at the tangle of wires trying to get it unplugged. Finally, I woke from this nightmare with a much clearer understanding why the suggested time for a home teaching visit was 20 minutes !! 🙂 I don't know how much I missed. I woke up at 2 hours 24 minutes. (I won't watch the rest).

Jared, which one of your DNC episodes includes your coverage of the characteristics of anti-religious rhetoric to destroy testimonies? At one time I meant to get back on that episode and jot down the information my medical needs and other problems got in the way and I’ve lost track as to which one I need to refer back to. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks for your efforts in producing these lessons

Hi Halverson, I’ve been looking for the picture of Christ in his red robe, riding his white stallion and haven’t been able to find it. I saw it on your podcast. Do you or anyone reading this know the name and/or artist of the painting? Thank you very much for any help you can give me!! I love your podcast and learn so much each time I watch it. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into it!
I kinda have to laugh when you asked do we believe about honoring the governments...I'm southern we have a tendency not to obey any law we think is wrong...or can't see the reason for. Does that make us disobedient? I mean Martin Luther King Jr was southern too. He understood.
The part that made the most memorable impression: 1:20:05 - 1:24:40 The redeeming blood of Christ covering ALL of Israel
10:11 But I think we should try to prevent bad things from happening rather than enabling Satan to continue steps downward so that the Savior will come in our time rather than coming in the Lord's time.
Brother Halverson thank you so much for producing these video's. You have helped me understand the scriptures.
President Benson signed my mission calling and I loved him so much! When he died, I went to the cemetery where he is buried Whitney, Idaho, and sat there thanking him for praying for me to be found worthy to serve the Lord. I took a small rock to always remember that he lives beyond the grave. Love all the prophets of the Lord. Thank you again for making me go back to a most beautiful part of my life.
Brother Halverson, can you tell me if you know who painted the picture of Christ in the red robe on the white horse that you used on your introductory page for section 133?
Maybe your trials and tribulations are and will be what you vicariously experience as you sacrifice to help those struggling with situations or their faith.
We appreciate all your efforts as you try to help us understand and value the scriptures. We pray that you and your family will be greatly blessed for all you efforts.
Bro. Halverson, will you please tell me the name and author of the temple book you mentioned once that you thought was so good.
Love your work brother
Do you have the artist reference for the artwork of Christ riding on the white horse?
If you consider the term” the Great Deep” in D&C 133 , as the great vastness of the universe,I believe that The Remnant of Jacob were taken from this earth to another planet as was the City of Enoch and the people of Melchizedek were taken up and will each return as a body!
Thank you very much. 😍👏
I just love your UA-cams. I guess I Saw/heard the last one last week 3 times. I had a friend that needed to know about why the hard words, which I never hear as hard. And she has a hearing problem and couldn’t hear the UA-cam, so in order to be able to teach her I had to Hear it once again. And I LOVED every minute. 😉❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇩🇰
Where are you located? I served my mission in Norway many years ago, so I must ask.
@@LokimusPokomali Denmark. København. Have family outside Oslo that aren’t members. When were you in Norway? I can’t wait for Them to get a temple. ❤️❤️❤️🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴
@@kisserravnsrensen369 I was in Norway from summer of 1993 thru December 1994.
I am thrilled to pieces about the temple in Oslo too!!!
12:46 A good question to ask ourselves....
Thank you so much!
He’s talking about the return of the 10 from the great deep which is the sky. The 10 lost tribes (not the scattered) were led away north to the outermost part of heaven. Why does no one talk about the Lost Tribes that were led away? We only talk about the gathering of the scattered. Blows my mind no one knows this.
I think it’s because we are asked to bring people to Christ; to gather Israel. The 10 Lost Tribes are not in our jurisdiction, so to speak. Our focus needs to be on those who are within our ability to teach, influence for good, and share the gospel message. Someone else is in charge of the 10, regardless of where they are hidden.
I agree, for me, this is the first time I have been disappointed in his explanation. It seems the scripture 133:26 was wrested quite a bit. Sometimes scriptures ARE to be taken literally. As much as I have loved his podcasts... this may be the last time I tune in.
@@sandrahurst4123 I see your point and can't disagree that we have the greatest duty to those within our sphere of influence. However, when I learned that the LOST 10 TRIBES will come to our aid and destroy our enemies in our hour of greatest need, and we will be prepared to come to their aid in the Temples with needed ordinances... my heart rejoiced!
@@Jo145330 for those that seek, there are incredibly miraculous things that we will see with the return of the 10 tribes. I’m not quite sure why it’s so hard to believe that they will return on flying wheels in the sky (space ships) each bearing the face of each group of 3 tribes. Judah (lion) Dan (Eagle) Ruben (man) and Joseph (ox) it’s literally telling us that the lost 10 will come back from the great deep in a Highway in the sky. Yet even the greatest of scriptorium won’t even look at it. Why is it easy to believe that god can take up the whole city of Enoch yet there is no way he leads the 10 tribes to a different planet at the end of heaven?
@@sandrahurst4123 I can’t even tell you how much hope this brought to me knowing that God has a grand plan for us and it includes a huge army of God that will fight the antichrist here in America. Because much of the people and leaders in our church are not fighting against this tyranny we are in. I needed this, many people need this hope….
Who is the artist of this beautiful painting?
I meant Hi Brother Halverson!!
Here I am, at 74 years old and half a century as a membee of the Church trembling as I hope to have the mercies of God over me to truly have the time to repent of the so many things that I thought I was doing correctly, but I was not. Thank you for bringing the full measure of light that I so much needed. I am forever grateful for the great mercies of God at this time and the knowledge and understanding that Jesus Christ is my Savior and He will never give up on any one of us! Bless you and your family foerever to had the blessing to fulfill your mission on earth. I hope to stand as a witness of it in eternity!
Brother Halverson,
Thank you for your work in spreading the Gospel. I sincere appreciate you and I am thankful I found you!🙏🏽
for section 132 I had to listen carefully to you Bcs I was wondering how you’d present it . I have been quite judgmental about plural marriage and have perceived it as fornication on steroids when it came to David and Solomon, pardon me.
And
I actually thought it was abusive of the prophetic gift of Joseph. However, I made my peace within myself by believing that these patriarchs and prophet were just following HF’s commandments. And I thank you for presenting it like you did.
But, with section 134:12, my question is (since the church has made many changes to the D&C)
Why do we have to keep hearing these contradictions about black people and throw salt into the wounds; especially nowadays when the white supremacists have been emboldened by the previous administration?!
Those passages and some in the BOM need to go or be changed if we are to welcome more blacks in the true spirit of our Lord!
I don’t believe that we were cursed with dark skins Bcs of transgressions!
When I look up at the ratio of blacks to whites , it is so minimal at least here in the USA.
I also believe that we, LDS, are missing out on a great number of righteous brothers and sisters!!!
I find it sad. Help me understand Bro. Halverson.
Thank you for sharing your time and talents. No need to apologize for the length of your videos.
Concerning D&C 134 I agree we must be very careful about dishonoring the station. When we have no respect for the person and their apparent lack of character and integrity is it difficult to not dishonor the station as well?
How do we judge righteously those whose actions and words are under the public microscope daily? Do we seek to influence others to “…take advantage of one because of his words…”? Do we support those who “…dig a pit for their neighbor”?
We are all responsible to our Maker who “…will abundantly pardon” and may we do the same and not imply a disrespect for the station through our own words and actions.
Isn't our home now part of Extended Temple because People like me have no transportation
I am having issue with getting Temple Recommend and my First Patarc Blessing
Because they lost my record and found it then lost it again
So, I I asked to be baptized again for many reasons and God and Jesus Christ understands why.
Then ,heads got 😷🤢😷 and I have to just wait until I get those very important papers to do more work ❤️📖🙏
The end of D&C 133:4 reads, "...all you that have NOT been commanded to tarry." Does this make a difference as you are commenting as if the NOT has been left out?
BTW I love your commentaries. They are uplfiting and wonderful!
I remember that Enos 1:15 states that in a time of great violence, wickedness and hard-heartedness, “. . . there were exceedingly many prophets among us.” (Enos 1:22) Could it be that those teachers who teach exclusively and carefully from the scriptures and the words of our prophets (eg, Brother Halverson) are “many prophets among us”?
Brother Halverson, I am trying to reference the quote you gave from Elder Neal Maxwell a few weeks ago. I believe you said he gave it at a BYU address and he mentioned paraphrasing, that now that he is delivering the message, he is no longer accountable for the information, he has done his job and now the accountablity has shifted to the audience. Where can I find that quote?
Thank you for helping me grow my understanding and testimony of the principles of the gospel. I, like so many others, love your lessons!
