Holy Cow! I was walking down the church hallway and I saw you Dave Butler!!!!🙌🏼 You were talking to someone so I didn’t want to interrupt but I was thinking: It’s YOU🫵 My ward starts at 1:30 pm. Someday, I hope to shake your hand. I’m a Lamanite little old lady from Alaska👵🏻 House of Manasseh 🎉
I just want to say Don’t Miss This has absolutely transformed my experience with the scriptures. I’m Sunday school teacher in my YSA ward and also a freshmen in college. It’s difficult balancing my studies of both. But when I felt overwhelmed or frustrated, I turned on Don’t Miss This…. And I’d feel the spirit so strongly. I’m not sure I’d be able to keep up with the scriptures without you guys, especially studying Isaiah which normally takes so much concentration and research to understand. I can’t put into words how much I connect to your stories and your insights- it feels like the Savior Himself is walking with me, and talking to me personally. Nothing else makes me want to rejoice and praise my Savior and Redeemer more I can’t thank you enough ❤
This analogy parallels your comments Grace...enjoy! When GOD wanted to create fish, he spoke to the sea. When GOD wanted to create trees, he spoke to the earth. But when God wanted to create man, he turned to himself. Then God said: “Let us make man in our image and our likeness”. If we take a fish out of the water it will die; and when we remove a tree from the soil, it will similarly die. Likewise, when a man is disconnected from GOD, he dies. GOD is our natural environment. We were created to live in his presence. We have to be connected to him because it is only in him that life exists. Let’s stay connected to GOD. Let’s remember once again that water without fish is still water but fish without water is nothing. The soil without a tree is still soil but the tree without soil is nothing. GOD without man remains GOD but a man without GOD is nothing.
I love this so much. Thank you. Leaning into this today as I am going through a separation from my branch of ten years. Staying connected to my God. 🙏🏻♥️
A spectacular lesson , Discussion , and your personal revelations of joyous moments of God winks each and every day , reminds me TO LOOK FOR THEM. Good or hard tHEY are everywhere.
The timeline and the way it was presented was so excellent. I have studied it in many ways, but this was such a concise presentation of it! Thank you so much!!!
I'm so excited for Jesus Christ's return, His second coming! And now even more so, because of what David said about the knowledge of The Lord covering the earth. I always just thought about that as all people on earth knowing Him, and who He is etc , but David's thoughts on it being so much more for us to learn about Him!!!!!🥹🥹🥹💖💖💖
Thank you so much for taking the time to create these lessons. They are so helpful and I love learning and understanding more about the scriptures and Jesus. It’s so exciting. Yaaay! 🎉🎉🎉 ❤❤❤
thank you so much David and Grace! I so appreciate the time that you both put into the lessons. They are and precious part of my week. Thank you, thank you!
We are saved by His Grace...on top of all we do (our efforts plus his)...alongside all that we do (take My yoke upon you, beside Me...as a covenant)...and even despite all we may have done (that we weren't pleased with).
David ‘s perspective in how he rearranged the order of the verse “ all I can do” totally changed my perspective of things. Thank you so much for this insight. I will always remember this.
Has anyone ever written a commentary of Isaiah where it is spliced in chronological order in the way David explains? That would be fascinating to read.
Great job talking about the 'after all we can do' scripture. The "Then when we have proven worthy" lyric has always troubled me.... still kinda does. But this class helps!
Love your lessons so much!! Thank you thank you! I was wondering, since the Easter advent calendars are out, would you be willing to share digitally what is on them? I have a chalkboard I would love just to just hand write the verses and titles/definitions you chose for the calendar if you don’t mind sharing them that way?
Could you do me a huge favor. I am old and my husband is bedridden, so we don’t get to church…. ( that’s my excuse Bawhahahahaha) Would you please make the writings on the word of the week darker. Bolder. With the lights glaring off the TV we cannot see it or read it. Maybe I’m just lazy and should look up the meanings. Ps Love you both. You are our church when we can’t get Zoom to work… you strengthen the spirit in our home. Thank you
I just received the Deseret Book catalog, which lists the Christ-centered Easter Creche by Freedom and Butler. I went to order it, and it's out of stock. Any idea when it will be available? The worker at Deseret Book said it's not being made anymore. Is that true?
Love this lesson. I didn’t see a board slide for the word of the week… Belief… Is that available in a PDF? I love copying down the definitions from the 1830s dictionary.
15:10 - hold on! The footnote clearly indicates that it’s the King of ASsyria speaking in v. 13-14, not God. The king of ASsyria is boasting in his own wisdom!

I would be star struck, too if I saw David Butler at church. 😀
I just want to say Don’t Miss This has absolutely transformed my experience with the scriptures.

Nothing else makes me want to rejoice and praise my Savior and Redeemer more
I can’t thank you enough ❤
You guys make me smile everyday. Thank you for your happy natures and love for the Savior. ❤
This analogy parallels your comments Grace...enjoy!

The soil without a tree is still soil but the tree without soil is nothing.
GOD without man remains GOD but a man without GOD is nothing.
Thanks for sharing that!!! 💗💗💕💕💗💗
Where does that come from?
I love this so much. Thank you. Leaning into this today as I am going through a separation from my branch of ten years. Staying connected to my God. 🙏🏻♥️
Wow, this is a beautiful teaching!!
I love this so much!
i just love "Don't Miss This"--it puts the heart in my scripture study! Thank you both!
A spectacular lesson , Discussion , and your personal revelations of joyous moments of God winks each and every day , reminds me TO LOOK FOR THEM. Good or hard tHEY are everywhere.

Grace Freeman! I never comment, but today I had to because you were sent to my heart today. I love you, girl. Thanks for texting by the Spirit. ❤
Love your description of the timeline. It became so clear to me I’m excited
I call those God Winks, God Shots. I heard that term in an Al-Anon meeting. Who doesn’t need a shot of God? ❤
That's awesome ❤
I love your lessons. Thank you for making the scriptures come to life for me and help me to understand how the stories relate to me. 😊
Love your lessons.I look forward to them everyday. Your time line, it gives so much hope ❤
Go team Jesus!! Thank you both for this brilliant opportunity to be inspired and share Him!❤
Thank you for the way you inform me as I prepare my seminary lessons. I found John 1:16-17 even more telling on the subject of grace.
David ‘s perspective in how he rearranged the order of the verse “ all I can do” totally changed my perspective of things. Thank you so much for this insight. I will always remember this.
Yes yes yes....I love a timeline!
David I LOVE to hear about the rescues that your son gets to be a part of. It does my heart so much good especially these days
Thank you SO much for your diagram and your explanation! That helps a lot 🤯
Has anyone ever written a commentary of Isaiah where it is spliced in chronological order in the way David explains? That would be fascinating to read.

Ps
Love you both. You are our church when we can’t get Zoom to work… you strengthen the spirit in our home.
Thank you
Grateful for your teachings. How could I download your "convenant story time line"? Thank you.
I think the lesson is actually 2 Nephi 20-25
❤❤❤❤
KrisKross will make you… JUMP… Jump

It would be amazing if Grace worked at Geico. Then, by Grace, 15% or more on car insurance would be saved.
David, did your neck grow out of that shirt? I mean, the top button is undone?! Lol
What is the picture under "See also 2 Nephi 2:8 and 2 Nephi 10:24"?
I have been seduced by the serpent myself 😔
