So uplifting Bro. Halverson so grateful for all of your insights and all you do to let us learn more of the gospel and Heavenly Father. I am always looking forward for these lessons each week. God bless !
Dear Brother Jared, I am so grateful for what you have already taught us despite your busy schedule. I look forward to every lesson but completely understand time constraints. I’m a retired teacher myself! I am sure what you continue to share with us will uplift , instruct and edify as always. Not verse by verse so be it! I appreciate everything you share regardless of length or verse by verse coverage. You have lifted my gospel understanding to such heights, you will always have a special place in my heart and prayers!
Love your lessons. You are a gift.
You truly are a gifted teacher, Brother Halverson! Thank you so very much for the comprehension and understanding of doctrine, applicability, context, history and relativity with which you enlighten the scriptures!!!!!! Oh, my gosh, what a blessing you are to so very many!!! I'm grateful for Covid because it gave me you tube gospel study class. 😘💕
I don’t care how long the lessons are, I just love it, you need the biggest hug in the world by all of us who just love you. Thank you so much for your time.
Your lessons have taught and helped me understand so much more than I've been able to study previously. Especially since I can listen while doing housework. I would love it if you were able to continue through the Old Testament next year. I've always been rather intimidated by it, and my lack of understanding of their time/lives/customs. I hope and pray you can continue through the next year. You have touched and blessed so many lives. Thank you for all of your time, talents, and sharing them so generously with us.
Brother Jared…either short or long…my faith is all ears….Thank you for your for your tremendous endurance😇👍
I found you about 12 mouths ago . Oh how i need you in my life. I have so much fath in the church. But now you have opened my eyes so so much to under stand it all. You have bacded me up to know i amin the right place. Just thank youfrom my heart. Joan
Dear Brother Halverson, I am strengthened each time I listen to you, which is mostly every day! Thank you so much, I can't express how grateful I am for your lessons. May you be blessed for all you do!😇
Jared, thank you so very much!
It is amazing how much you know. I can't imagine anyone else who knows more than you do. You are a living book. Thank you for your generosity!
Thank you for your insights. As an older female that grew up in the church, I sort of just skipped through the sections on the Priesthood and often felt that I was inferior because I was only a woman. I'm grateful the the brethren have been addressing this and I'm grateful for you teaching that these sections are for all of us. I am grateful for your videos and every Monday morning, I look forward to the next one.
I love your lessons. Any length of lessons, as long you are the one teaching it. We met at Lehi Costco. What a treat!!!!
I appreciate the insightful possible connection you made between Capt. Moroni and the other men of God who were initially wayward.
So many treasures in this lesson! Who knew? lol Thank you!
As you were discussing the organization of the priesthood, it brought to mind a family chore chart. We are all assigned a duty and don't"t get too comfortable because before you know it, the chores will rotate 😉
My good brother Jared….I for one am strengthened and better than the night I found your lessons 18 months ago….the truth has indeed helped me to realize that I am no longer a hostage to my past…I embrace each day of eternity with a brightness of hope….that I thought was unattainable ❤️😇…..Keep up the good work…David
Love the long lessons. I am somewhat sad to hear that the OT lessons are going to be short, more selective, and not verse by verse. I can already hear some people in my group (friends and family) say "see, I told you that the LDS don't study or believe in the Bible." Oh well, so be it.
Thank you for all you do.❤️ & 🙏🙏🙏
The church needs to give you a lighter teaching load so you can continue doing this podcast/youtube. You are reaching thousands of people each week. Thank you.
I would love to see where the prophet refuted the claim that "when the prophet speaks on the matter, that is the end..." sorry I didn't quote that perfectly. I get that quoted to me occasionally and would love to cite a refutation.
17:47 18:32
Yes, "the CRAFTS of men" when they become essentially priest-craft, when being seen as prestigious is everything! I am especially concerned right now about science-craft or scientism. When the work was done as if by angel's, Science was pure. But when it became manipulated by politicians Science became only "science" as salt having lost its savor.
Interesting while you were speaking about Section107, vs 4, the thought popped into my head wonder if there is even higher priesthood authority not yet revealed on earth?
Now they are facing jab or no job in some places! So sad!😪😪😪
I know it weighs on you to prepare it but I feast on every minute! Thank you!
THANK YOU, ELDER HALVERSON!!! Your teachings are precious. You really touch my heart with your real-life examples of how lives are changed and Strengthen Spiritually. I really love how you have told us, as Fathers, Mothers and Children in God, we must be One in Prayer and in making decisions as a Family--- then Strengthening and uplifting all those around us--- Family, Friends, and online. You are a very special Elder in Zion and have Blessed me with Wisdom and Strength... May the Lord bless you and your Family and all who listen on the podcast and watch you on UA-cam... I can't thank you enough for all the Spiritual Treasure you have Shared!!! 💖💖💖🙂
Thank you for your commitment and time! I love the long videos but understand the need for shorter ones with all you have on your plate. Thank you brother! I’ll take any length. 🙏 ❤️
Love your content brother Halverson. You're helping this lost sheep find it's way back to the fold.
I pray that you're blessed for your time & effort in sharing with us - praying harder that you'll be able to do it through the Old Testament!!
You are one of those people that leave a wake of strengthened people behind you. I am one of the priviledged ones who know you personally and are so grateful for your friendship and the way you have strengthened me in the years we have known you. Thank You!
I so hope you continue next year! I have learned so much. You have helped me gain a testimony of the Doctrine and Covenants that I sadly didn't have a strong one to begin with. I am learning, loving and longing more
Thank You for these lessons ...They Help Me so Much....I am not able to go toThe Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints for Now Due to My Health..
BTW, I think you sell yourself short. I think you are very well prepared and very well equipped to be a General Authority. You will definitely have my sustaining vote when that day comes. 😇
Brother Halverson, I'm praying for you to be able to accomplish all that God needs you to do. But please know that you have changed my scripture study forever! My husband and I have included you in our couple scripture study since the very beginning. I've been delighted to see all the other Saints discover your channel as your subscriber numbers rose! When my heart and mind have been struggling with the repercussions of the Covid pandemic, I have found so much peace and solace in studying the scriptures with you and my sweet husband. I pray that God blesses you for everything you've done for all of us, your students!! ❤❤❤
You have given some of the best marriage advice I've ever heard in this lesson. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and spiritual experiences.
I think we all appreciate the time you are devoting to this and will be happy to have shorter lessons that will release your stress. Having taught early morning seminary (only 1 class a day), Institute and been asked to teach other classes on a fill-in based, I don’t know how you are managing! Thank you for your Herculean effort!!!
Amen!
Love the way to make it SO SIMPLE to understand. You are a BLESSING to many!
Thank you so much for another week!
Thank you for the hours you give us.
Understand if you need to cut back.cant put too much on your plate.
Happy with each video.
Thank you for sharing your insights with us each week, Brother Halverson! ❤ The length of your lessons doesn't ever bother me. (Though I know I can't speak for everyone.) I always look forward to them, because afterwards I can see the scriptures with new eyes. 🤓
The length of the lessons doesn't bother me at all. I sometimes have to break them in parts. Buts that's okay, too! You're doing great work for so many. 💛🧡❤💚
This was a perfect lesson and scripture set to read before General Conference in a few weeks when we will hear from the different presidencies and members of the 12 apostles and quorums of 70. thank you so much for all the time you take to provide these thoughtful and insightful lessons. I have grown so much this past year as I have read the scriptures along with you.
Brother Halverson, I too, would like to say 'Thank you!' for your huge contributions each week that bring so much for my husband and I to contemplate and continue thru the week to discuss. I have learned so very much from your videos each week! ...far more than ever before! You open up our understanding by simply presenting your life experiences along with the scriptures. Thank you again!🙂
Can't wait for the OT and your wonderful way of relating gospel principles. So happy!
I realize this is referring back a long ways, but when we were studying early in the Book of Mormon you made a comment about what we needed to become. Then you said something like, nothing against the hymn, I Am a Child of God, but it’s not enough to know what I must do, it’s what I must become. So for several weeks I pondered that. Finally I changed the last line of the chorus from Teach me all that I must do, to Teach me all I must become to live with Him someday. It works with the music, and that’s how I sing it to my grandchildren. I don’t have any copyrights, but I can sing it any way I want in private. Thank you for changing how I think. I’m old enough to remember when the last line was Teach me all that I must know, and the prophet, President Kimball I think, asked that it be changed to all that I must do. This is the next step in the evolution of the song, for me and my family. I thought of this as you talked today about the growing and changing of the line upon line we are given.
Hi Gerry.
Funny, I have felt and changed words more or less per my own edification for BEING instead of DOING as well. And, I love what you've offered!
Have also done similar with Eliza R Snow's "O My Father." (292) 4th verse - last phrases.
( original for comparison: )
"Then, at length, when I’ve completed
All you sent me forth to DO,
With YOUR mutual approbation
Let me come and dwell with YOU."
( changed to: )
"Then, at length, when I’ve completed
All you sent me forth to BE,
With THY mutual approbation
Let me come and dwell with THEE.
I mean absolutely no disrespect to Sister Snow
It's more or less for my own use. So what do you think?
@@rconger384 Thank you. I love your change to O My Father. Maybe you should submit it to the Hymn Committee as they are putting the new hymn book together. I know they have changed the words to several hymns in the past.
Brother Halverson,
No words can describe how grateful I am for your insights and commentary on the Doctrine and Covenants! Thank you for your sacrifice of time. I hope you realize that you, through the Unshaken Channel, are reaching thousands of people’s hearts not just there in Salt Lake, but around the world! I pray that you will be given the grace and can continue. Your voice is needed. ♥️
Brother Halverson, I will take what ever length of lessons you can give. They are awesome, and I look forward to listening each week. I’d love to hear your insights on the Old Testament, as you have a depth of knowledge that helps me understand better. Thank you for your time, effort, and energy in expounding the scriptures!
Your lessons help me so much! I am so grateful for our leaders, their time and commitment is amazing!
Looking forward to next year , distilled and condensed via inspiration ❣️❣️❣️
Thank you for each and every lesson. I look forward to your lessons every week.
I am so grateful for your three and four hour lessons! To be honest, they have been some of my favorite that you have ever shared. Plus, I watch you on UA-cam at 2X speed so it only takes two hours to get through! Ha ha. That said, whenever my wife has you playing on speaker in normal mode I’m so confused now because you sound so lethargic. I can’t wait to meet you in real life one day because you have blessed my life so much but I know I will have a laugh as you will seem to be on slow motion. Maybe when I finally meet you I will tell you that I was the 2X guy and you can talk really fast as we shake hands or hug if Covid is over by then so things seem normal. Ha ha. Keep up the good work Jared. You are just the kind of social influence the world needs today and bless more people than you realize!
Now a question from 107, specifically in regards to the characteristics of Peter and the section 4 repeat. You mentioned that the order of the attributes is crucial (I agree as I find a pattern of inner and outer principles with every alternating trait) and you said the order is the same in all.. but it isn’t! Section 104 reverses godliness with brotherly kindness. I’m still working my way through what I first thought was a clarification from Christ to Joseph Smith in 4, but now I’m perplexed as 107 reverts back. Your thoughts? Thanks!
The learning time we are getting is priceless and we see value on every second. I'm glad you'll be teaching the Old Testament. Muchas Gracias!
Loved your part on the brethren and who they are and the time they take to pray and deliberate on specific topics compared to the masses and their Facebook and Google information. Sources matter. Theirs is a Devine source.
Thank you for the pep talk at the end! It's hard to see how much more I need to work on becoming like our Heavenly Father and His son. But the blessings are scattered along the way which keeps me going.
Thank you só much for more one amazing class this week today I was listening more 49 minutes was nice to know more about family and the Holy Spirit … for sure I can tell you each class you give is a blessing in my life.
We are so blessed to have the Priesthood in these latter days.
Thank you 🙏 my brother for your hard work. Your teaching helps me deepen my learning and memorizing scriptures. I appreciate you very much!
Thank you Brother Halverson. Now, I look forward to your lessosn. I watch it in parts. Don't shorten it, if not needed.
The verse to verse version is just wonderful. We still look forward to your next season’s productions as well.
The length is fine. I split the lessons up. The depth of study is awesome.
Today your lesson was a gift from the spirit of God. My daughter and son-in-law frequently fight because the are doing what you said. Getting there way 50%of the time and someone angry 100% of the time. I sent this podcast to her and told her to watch it with him. I pray they do. Thank you. For your efforts and testimony. You’ve really helped me.
Thank you for taking the time to put together these lessons. As someone who didn't get the chance to attend institute,I have enjoyed every minute of every single video. I consider them a treasure of information. My scriptures are filled with notes and quotes from JH 😎 You can email me a test at the end of the year 😜
Section 108 was written for me. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Keep on “Putting your shoulder to the whee” Kiddo!! The good you are doing is immeasurable. Thank you. 🙏🏻
Brother Halverson,
I drive for a living and I love your podcasts. Thank you so much for your sacrifice of time and effort to put these together every week. I listen to them over and over again. May the Lord continue his tender mercies to you and your family. Have a great day!
Over half the membership of the Church are single ,divorced or widowed . Everyone in the, Church which is no longer Utah ! South America, the land of the Lamanites ,are the largest group of people or brothers and sisters ! That's all..............,I've been married twice and lived with a woman since I was 17 . Just try and remember that. I can relate ,but the married or sealed ,or so they think, look down still even though I've been a husband longer ,and dilvered my first son in 84 . So ,sons and daughter ,all inactive ,I wish people could speak more about that ,and stop blaming Men,not you brother, but others .
Oh my goodness - my gratitude for your efforts each week is huge Brother Halverson! Yes, we're having the largest book coming up for CFM, but I truly get more insights and understanding of the Gospel than I ever have in my entire life of being a member, when I listen to your lessons. Shortening them next year will be sad for me, but know that I'm still so grateful for you and your efforts! Please thank your dear wife and family for me too, for sharing you with us!
@1:08... I love this analogy! I can also use this analogy of doing God's will. Wether we want to listen or not. Either we give it gas or the brakes.- a good reminder, especially for today 🤗😊🥰😇
Praying your snorkel tip keeps extended or that I can find a longer one to send you☺️ I am so grateful for your time and efforts in my behalf as a weekly “Unshaken” follower. My life has been and continues to be richly blessed by your kindness and gospel knowledge!
Bitter sweet! I love how you teach in depth and long! it really makes the scriptures come alive on so many levels and I’m gonna miss these long lectures in the Bible but I understand you are most wanted. You are so inspiring
I read this before I listened to the episode and was afraid he wasn't going to do the Old Testament at all next year! whew! I'm grateful we will be able to learn from him in the OT!
I don't think he's saying his sessions won't be as long, just that he won't be able to cover as much of the content, as the OT is so long.
Actually, it would be wonderful if Congress had to all agree because it would keep them from causing so many problems.
Thank you for the incredible lessons each week! I’m learning so much! I appreciate your thoughtfulness and hard work each week. You’re a godsend to me. Thank you so much! ❤️. I love the long lessons, I love the additional information and knowledge that I’m learning here each week. You have an incredible gift. Thank you for sharing. We are all so very blessed.
AaaaaaaaaAaa
Either long or short…whether verse by verse or more summarized….it is all loved and closely followed in my household.
You married your blessing!!!!
Thank you for teaching me the great details in the scriptures. I appreciate your faith and testimony and you build mine.
It’s interesting that in the Saints journey to become a Zion people they were tested with specific challenges that mirrored the promises they would later make in the temple. Obedience, sacrifice, law of the Gospel, consecration….
Amen sister….Zion established in our hearts 😇❤️
I suspect that's one of the ways God seeks to prepare his people. If we seek to become Saints of Zion, I believe we'll have to be willing to do the same.
I 💓listening to other podcasts that give you credit for your teaching gifts
Having come into The Church of Jesus Christ backwards--after studying the New Testament and then searching for it, and finding truth in an anti-brochure in a Baptist Church leading me to what I was seeking, I love your approach and deep understanding of scripture and religious history! Fantastic work in building faith in the world and declaring repentance in a powerful, relatable way. So many answered prayers and insights as I study personally along, and teach same. I have a question for you. I am reading the new chief 'chaplain' of Harvard's, "Good Without God," and would like to interview someone and co-create a response--in kind, civil way, for my podcast. You came to mind. If you are interested, would you reach out to me privately and let me know. Thank you, Jared. Warmest, k
I have had a couple of really tough weeks and, truth be told, I allowed myself a moment of self pity. In my anguish I cried out to the Lord... "Find me" to which I received an immediate reply... "Find ME!" I instantly realized that during this time I had slacked off in my scripture study. I immediately rekindled my efforts. Thanks so much for your efforts and assistants with my studies, as I try daily, even moment to moment to "find" the Lord.
I am so glad you do broadcast. After listening to the many many ways you teach, I wonder when do you have time for your family. I don't think your snorkel needs to longer; I think you should consider doing a little less. Please don't stop doing these broadcasts! I worry about you doing too much.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Brother Jared. D and C has always been my least favorite book of scripture… until this year. I can only imagine the amount of time it takes for you to do these lessons so I know it is a sacrifice. Thank you for your sacrifice and may you be blessed tenfold more than we have been by them.
I love you and am grateful for you! This includes your family.
Just be wise and take care of yourself! We appreciate you.
The Spirit "whispers" we truly sustain our "righteous leaders by becoming TRUE disciples of Christ and truly living His Gospel! "Hear Him"😊
Hermano Halverson, me facinan sus clases, cada dia aprendo mas y entiendo mejor Doctrina y Convenios, gracias, gracias que el Señor le bendiga.
This is Strange. That members have to be ordained and set apart as missionaries before they can teach the gospel, Since the Lord had approached me differently and had commanded me directly in a priesthood blessing to open up my mouth and teach but I never served a mission but i do hold the Melchiezdek Priesthood..
There is a difference between "every member a missionary" and actually having the mantle and calling of missionary. We're all supposed to invite others to come unto Christ but missionaries, along with the 70 and apostles, have callings specifically about spreading and teaching the gospel.
@@randomfan168There's an apostasy underway in the Church caused by the dissenters for God knows all this, this is why he told me to open my mouth and that didn't come to me by personal revelation alone from God but it came to me as direct instruction given to me in the priesthood blessing direct from God himself through the priesthood channel.
But the members are also told to teach one another the doctrines of the kingdom.and to strengthen one another
that was the assignment God Commanded me to do through the priesthood blessing. I was told to open up my
mouth.
@@germanslice I guess what I'm saying is I don't see any conflict between your blessings and missionary work. Nobody would want you to be silent, whether you served a mission or not is irrelevant. Continue to open your mouth and teach what you know and learn from others as well. You don't have the official calling but that doesn't mean you can't teach and preach. It's a gift to be able to be confident in your faith and knowledge and can be a powerful tool in bringing people to Christ.
Thank you again for your amazing lessons. I pray that your time may be lengthened that you can continue...not just Old Testimate, but New, and then the first chapters of the Book of Mormon before covid. You are much appreciated...and thanked by this household for your teachings. God bless you and your family.
As a single female and convert , I find this explanation of the order of the priesthood so interesting . It’s evident here that the Lord has a house of order. This order also reminds me of the Lords hand in forming the constitution. It’s evident his inspiration and direction was in both because of some similarities. It appears mans sight is too short to create such organizations that encompass every facet needed to organize and rule men most righteously. What I’m realizing is , I can’t find the proper words to even explain here what I mean. Words are inadequate. And yes, we learn line upon line , because we can’t take it in , any other way. This all takes time for our feeble minds to process, esp. mine. Keep in mind , Einstein said, we only use 10% of our brain/mind. I was reflecting on this the other day, as I was thinking of the expanse of Gods mind.
Thank you for the insights on unanimity between the husband and wife, and sharing your personal experience with your friend.
Thank you so much for your wonderful insights that teaches me so many new things each time.
Another Devine meal ty
Just can’t get enough
Thank you for all the history and comparisons to other scriptures you make. I love listening to your views. I have a question: Why hasn't a temple been built in Independence, MO, yet?
Thanks Brother Halverson! Your lessons are excellent! I am looking forward to a more “ classroom “ style as you mention!
Shorter but still focused on powerful principles! Love ya!
Jared I sought you out specifically for your thoughts on Section 106:4-5 hoping to hear you comment on the obvious inference to Warren and therefore all others, that the Lord’s second coming was imminent i.e. in their lifetime. This same inference is found elsewhere in the revelations. Is there evidence Joseph and his contemporaries believed this to be so? Interested in your thoughts. Thank you.
Brother Halverson, could you share the exact passage, where Paul talks about mind, please. Thank you!
0:15 just got through watching the video of this weeks study for Holy Bible ~New Testament
This way I am getting a little bit of each book
You don't
Thank you for this important and timely walk through these revelations. Perfect to reflect upon anytime but appropriate to reflect upon before General Conference.
Thank you Brother Jared! Your unfolding of the scriptures always brings me closer to Christ.
We are so blessed by your stories based in experience and perception. You allow us to see ourselves more perfectly by the sharing of challenges faced by self & others. Thank you for going above and beyond the call of duty to do things few of us dare embrace in and of ourselves.
Funny I joined in originally with OT and we just had a 6 hour 6 min lesson I loved it
Thank-you, Brother Halverson.
What's the difference between unity and unanimity?
