Can't thank you enough. You are bringing the scriptures alive to me - never thought how much JSH 1:27-65 applied directly to me and my journey to become more like Christ. Thank you for the time and effort you devote to making it possible for us to be part of your class. My the Lord bless your efforts and all those who take part in these Come Follow Me lessons.
Le agradezco su dispocisión de enseñarnos más sobre las escrituras y el gran sacrificio que hace por estás maravillosas clases por las cuales aprendo muchísimo. Muchas gracias 😊
Muchisimas gracias por sus palabras bondadosas. Es un privilegio estudiar las escrituras con hermanos y hermanas que regocijan en las palabras de Dios. Gracias, mi hermana!
Brother Halverson, as a stay at home mother of 5 and a homemaker, these lessons that you have felt inspired to teach have truly given me a desire to better understand and immerse myself in scripture study and then share what I have learned with my husband and children. Thank you so much for freely giving your time for this institute class option that is feasible for me.
YOU are the one doing the REAL work, Sister Wilde! Any scripture study support I can offer is a privilege to give. Tell those kids I think their Mom is awesome :)
I did not know about you when we started the D&C last year, so I am doing the D&C and the old testament at the same time. Thanks so much for doing this for us. I come away filled with light and knowledge every morning.
I love being able to pause too- especially when my dog brings his food bowl and drops it at me feet asking for his tea, bless him! Thank you so much for these wonderful lessons and insights. I would have missed so much by having to leave to feed my dog.... I wish the whole Book of Mormon lessons were done.
Absolutely life changing for us making you a part of our daily Scripture study. We’re into what....three weeks running. Good luck with your dissertation! We’ve been back tracking and starting back with D&C 1, now 2/JSH, we really love this❤️❤️❤️❤️
I ponder on many things that I have heard Talks Videos from different people and verses Can't always under line for app Can't seem to work correctly ❤ But I'm still learning Want to get new glasses then I will be able to do better I love our history of The Church and each book 📖 ❤️ 1:50:27 Thank you Brother Jared Halverson
So enjoy each time I have a chance to rewatch one of these videos Big fans in our lives Cat 🐈 and I Yes,she enjoys the long videos and the new ones. I have been trying to find one's audio type, it helps when eyes are giving me some issues. Prayers for all of you and your family members ❤️ 🙏 23:10
I love the way you ended this video on being willing and able. It reminds me of the blessing President Nelson gave to us at the conclusion of this past general conference. "I bless you with an increased desire and ability to obey the laws of God. I promise that as you do, you will be showered with blessings, including greater courage, increased personal revelation, sweeter harmony in your homes, and joy even amid uncertainty."
Thank you! Those two words just don't seem to be enough for what you have taught me. 2 Corinthians 12 and Ether 12 have become even more beautiful and meaningful now that I understand the difference between weakness and weaknesses. They feel more personal, more something. I'm not conveying my thoughts the way I want to, but I know I feel the Spirit confirming truth taught. I just feel so grateful for true teachers like you who use their gifts for the building of the Kingdom of God on earth! I love that every time I listen to your UA-cam videos I come away more and more UNSHAKEN!!!!
Thank you so much, Sister Workman! I know what you mean about the Spirit confirming truth even when we struggle to put it into words (I feel that way every time I teach!). I'm grateful that you're finding these lessons helpful. Thanks for letting me join you for scripture study!
Your knowledge of the scriptures and gospel is extraordinary, you sacrifice your time willingly, and your teachings are perfectly in line with what the world needs so desperately to understand, now more than ever. You have helped motivate me and my wife to become even more familiar with the treasured messages within the covers of these priceless volumes. Our gratitude is full.
Brother Halverson, How can I thank YOU for doing this Channel. My husband just started listening. We hope our children will soon tune in....YOU ARE HELPING SAVE SOULS..... THANK YOU!!!
Is anyone totally amazed that Jared can talk for over two hours and there are no breaks, no stumbling with words, no gathering of thoughts. This is freaking amazing!
You're very kind. But you don't see all the post-production :) I assure you that there are more breaks, stumblings, and thought-gatherings than I can count. It's actually taught me a lot about repentance. Once the Lord is done with "post-production," our lives will look beautiful. Only we will know how messy it was before all the "editing"!
@@Unshaken PAIN is the right word! I make at least a dozen editing passes through my writing I turn it over to editor -- and she will STILL find a gazillion changes... :(
I love the way you teach, such a great command of the scriptures, coupled with your immense knowledge is inspiring. The only time I am able to watch your lessons is at night after my husband (a non member) and dogs go to bed so the house is quiet. I have come back to the church after more than 20 years of inactivity. I have so much to learn and like your student I often pause to read referenced verses, back up to listen again, make notes and think about what you have said. It takes longer to watch the entire lesson but well worth missing a little sleep. Thank you so much for your dedication to your calling to teach, your love of the gospel and willingness to plant seeds that help us grow,
I love this I feel like I am in a class and thank you for the message to our converts. I am a convert myself, all I remember, I was getting baptized at an early age, however we went inactive right away, my mom came from a Catholic background, she was baptized too, not sure she did it because my two older brothers joined the church. I remember as a kid I loved going to church, long story. When I was 16 our Stake President and his counselors came to our home inviting us to church, I was excited not knowing I was a member. My mother said no. When I was 18 years old I saw one of my older brother sneaking out of the house and I asked where are you going? My brother said shhh going to church, I said wait I am coming. When we got to church and entered I felt the most beautiful feeling, I knew then without no one testifying to me of the truth except for the spirit I knew the church was true. I found the Bishop and asked I wanted to be baptized, like ASAP lols. My sweet Bishop assured me I was from then on I felt like a new person and I thanked our Stake President for searching out the lost sheep. Has my life been perfect? No lols, however I can testify that Heavenly Father is there when we need him, and yes he will try us and good thing for the heads up because I would be so lost without the Gospel.
What a beautiful experience--feeling the Lord reach out to you through your Stake President. Thank you for sharing! It's something we can all do better, as we try to help each other find their way home!
This morning as I was reviewing a note I had written in my scripture that Joseph Smith is the first messenger mentioned in Malachi 3:1 ( also discussed by Jared in this lesson), I realized that Joseph Smith is like John the Baptist...he was to prepare the way before the Lord’s (2nd) Coming. Joseph had several similarities to John the Baptist including being a martyr, living a rough (difficult) life, crying in the wilderness, etc. Also, last night just before going to sleep I briefly read a verse in JS-H 1:57. It was Joseph and Emma’s 194th wedding anniversary yesterday.
I thank Heavenly Father for you. There are no words to adequately express how I feel and how your lessons bring the Spirit into my heart and soul so powerfully. This lesson was very personal to me for some reason. I had to stop several times to just breathe and ponder what you said, then rewind and listen again and again. Thank you for sacrificing so much to teach us the gospel from the scriptures.This was a WOW lesson for me.I just want more.
Jared, you're doing just fine . We appreciate you' sacrificing your time presenting these amazing researched and inspiring lessons wherever or however presented 😇.... I like what you say ' God does leave us to try us'... Giving us time to grow. 💙
My husband has not been active for a couple of years so I am alone when comes to studying at home I am alone its hard because I love listening to your lessons have been a blessing thank you
We all have ups and downs spiritually (just like we have them physically, mentally, and emotionally). I'm sure your patience and perseverance have been a blessing to him as you've walked beside him along his journey. He'll know where to "come home" whenever he decides to! So hold on to charity, even when faith or hope might be hard to come by!
I know you can’t please everyone but I am sorry to have you step back. I felt you were right there with me. However I need to say thank you so much for your generosity in sharing with us. My husband and I have finally agreed on a teacher. We study so differently it is nice to both enjoy the things we learn and can talk together. I know this is a sacrifice for you but I selfishly hope you can continue for a long time. You teach in a way that makes my day better as I have something to ponder each day as I listen to just a portion of your lesson at a time so I can ponder more deeply. I love that you can use all the scriptures and prophets. Thanks again
Ever since I began watching these great lessons, my knowledge of the scriptures has increased. Thank you very much Jared, you are a great teacher. In Swahili we say, "Hongera sana mwalimu ", being interpreted to, "Congratulations, teacher". I have learned how to compare scriptural passages in the Standard Works. May you continue to be a source of enlightenment to many people around the world.
You said thank you for putting up with your audio. I say thank you for putting up with us. You can teach any where you are comfortable,desk no desk, office or home, it doesn't matter. I love your teaching and testimony. I am just happy you are helping me with come follow me. I learn so much from you.
Thank you for such a kind comment :) Over the years I've learned that being able to "roll with the punches" is an attribute well worth developing, and I'm grateful you've already got it! Thank you for letting me join you for scripture study!
I have shed tears as I read the revelation about the highway from the north. I couldn't understand despite hours of study and thought and prayer. Today you moved the highway from shelf 3 to shelf 2. I cannot thank you enough for filling this hole in my understanding. Each lesson is like Christmas morning. Thank you. Nancy
Thank you! My grandma was a single mother and it's hard to imagine a more self-sacrificing soul than those who find themselves in that situation. I pray these lessons invite the Spirit's strength and comfort into your life. You deserve it!
So very inspiring, uplifting and opening so many avenues to connect past studies and shed tons of light and understsnding. Thank you for applying yourself to this end snd sharing. M perkins
@@marshaperkins7070 Thank you so much. Scripture study has always been a joy for me, so I'm grateful for the opportunity to share with others. Thanks for letting me join you!
Wow. This message was amazing. I had a spiritual experience this morning and wrote it down. Then 3 hours later I get told write it down and God gives more.
I have to express my gratitude for the opportunity I have to access your teaching, knowledge, experiences, education, perspective and testimony. I love the questions you ask throughout your lessons. Every lesson is such an insightful 2 hours for me. I just found your channel at the start of this year and I’ve already had so many impressions, so much enlightenment, and I am in constant awe at things I am learning for the first time, even though I have studied the Doctrine and Covenants many times before. I was actually listening to your lesson on the first vision while cleaning my bathroom. It was awesome to be scrubbing the floor and washing the sinks and counters with tear filled eyes as you shared the story and as the spirit touched my heart and enlightened my mind. “What do you know that God knows you know because he’s the one who revealed it to you.” WOW! Such a cool question to reflect on. LOVED that!! I thank you, Jared, for sharing these lessons with us each week. I have been sharing your channel with Everyone!! It’s truly a wonderful gift for which I cannot express my gratitude enough. Love the word you use to describe things which cannot be expressed in words...ineffable. 😍 God bless you for your efforts to spread the gospel to all nations! 🙏🏻Happy Sunday!
Thank you for such a kind and thoughtful comment. I'm grateful the Spirit can do His work even when we have to be doing ours (I loved picturing you feeling His guidance while cleaning the kitchen). Talk about being anxiously engaged! Thank you for letting me join you for scripture study! I'm grateful it's a blessing for us both!
I truly feel as if I am in a session of a beloved class taught in the Schools of the Prophets and Prophetesses. Thank you so much for parting the veil of understanding so that we may see!
Such a wonderful thought! Thank you for that. Of course, if this really were the School of the Prophets and Prophtesses, I'd be sitting right alongside you soaking it in from the ultimate Teachers! Thanks for putting up with me in the meantime--it's a blessing to study together!
I was watching this while on the treadmill... and at one point was overcome and had to step to the side, close my eyes, and take deep breaths to compose myself. (I think other gym members may have been worried I was going to pass out!😂). Your words were once again an answer to a prayer to something that was troubling me deeply and has been a matter of great prayer for me. Thank you so much for your time and effort in preparing these 🙏🏼🌟.
I'm just impressed that you not only hit the treadmill, but bring the Spirit with you when you run! Even the gym can be a holy place when the Lord reaches out to us there. I'm grateful He did that for you today. And thanks for bringing me along for the run--that's the closest I've been to a treadmill for a while ;)
I discovered your lessons about 5 months ago and I just want you to know how much I appreciate all the time and effort you have put into them. Your lifetime of learning and studying are a blessing to me. I am so in awe of your knowledge and ability to share your insights with us. Thank you so much, I am an avid listener.
Well, I thought it was better at the desk, however the main thing is the teaching. You do a great job regardless of the setting. Thank you for all you do. Sound is good with me.
"No wonder you start mingling with all kinds of society....It's hard to be faithful alone." You just described the singles program after age thirty. May we all have more than mere empathy for our singles; may we seek ways to help them network in a microscopic pool with high consequences.
I was Baptized when I was 68. I always seem to be learning. So pleased someone told me about your knowledgeable yet personable talks. You are a blessing to me. Appreciate how you connect all the scriptures. Thank you.
Dear Brother Halverson. One of the biggest blessings for me coming out of COVID is you. I enjoy so much listening to you that even though I live in Switzerland I can go for a walk with your words in my ears. Today when I listened to you explaining posterity, promised land and priesthood and the ultimate goal of the earthly experience, it made me cry. My testimony of Jesus Christ goes so deep and it defines my life. I love going to the temple to celebrate my covenants and receive the strength for my everyday life. However my husband hasn't made the step yet to be baptized so I am not married in the temple. I am not sealed to receive posterity, promised land and priesthood. The words "in vain" made me think. Please don't stop talking "to me" in what ever chair or proximity to the camera you choose to do it in. Thank you
Thank you so much, Sister Hess. It's an honor to accompany you on your walks--though I wish I had your view of the beautiful Swiss landscape along the way! And I'm sure that your example is doing more good in your marriage than you may realize. It's charity that never faileth, and as long as that is there, there is room for faith and hope to grow in time. There are so many parts to the equation--a person's background and upbringing, their culture and environment, their mental outlook and spiritual gifts, their experiences and perceptions of those experiences--so there's no need to pass "final judgment" before the Lord does. There is always hope! As I've often told my students, permanent bad news is against my religion!
Your husband may be growing spiritually in ways he doesn’t even understand, Sis. Hess. Keep living the gospel and showing love in everything you do. That will make the atmosphere right for him to change when the time is right. At a recent funeral I heard that the non-member husband had recently developed a testimony of Jesus Christ and his gospel as he knew it. He was progressing and was at peace at the time of his death. I have no doubt that he will accept the gospel and the ordinances in the future. There is always hope!
Sister Hess, you may have sealed family you’ve not met yet! My 6th great-grandfather was Hans Hess who came from Switzerland to the US in 1717. Hess being a common name, who knows if we are related? But there are Hess sealing lines already begun!
@@Momcamp02 that is very well possible. Hess is my husbands name and he has a Hans Ulrich Hess born 23. March 1727 died 21.Oct. 1783 from Walterswil? Is that him?
Somehow I've never noticed the stong tie in to temple covenants in Moroni's quotations of Bible verses. I really liked the observation that Moroni was informing Joseph of his entire calling, not just about the plates.
So true! Moroni was definitely trying to give Joseph "the big picture"! Incredible how long it took for some of those verses to make sense to Joseph. Thanks for sharing!
Brother Jared thank you so much I have always been hot and cold in the church, and have not done much research in the old testament. I’ve always wondered what the governments and the promises were and could never seem to put my finger on them. You’ve made it simple and I’m so glad. Prosperity. Promised land. And priesthood. What a great blessing. I noticed a lot of people talking about the sound and I’m hearing you just fine. Thanks for all you do
I'm so grateful to hear that it helped! We all have our ups and downs, our hots and colds, but hopefully we're following a general upward trend :) Keep fighting the good fight, my friend!
The three blessings of God's covenant with Abraham were Priesthood, Inheritance or Promised Land and Increase as numerous as the stars or Posterity...descendence...children. It's easy to mix up posterity with prosperity. But that too is implied in the inheritance portion or Promised land part of the blessing. It's a lot to wrap your head around, huh. Good stuff! I love Brother Halverson's videos!!!!
Thank you so much for your lessons. I have to keep pausing to take it all in, it is overwhelmingly spiritual and leaves me in tears and wonder at times! It is reinforcing my testimony of the truth of our Church, just over and over again. I am so grateful for all the time and effort you put into this. I like your little study at home and can't fault anything.😊❤️
I’m so inspired by your lessons. They bring so much light to all points of the scriptures. I often find myself asking, why didn’t I think of that before? I look forward to your lessons and ask to please do not stop sharing your light even past Covid.
Thank you, Mary! I know what you mean about seeing things for the first time that have always been there, just waiting to be discovered. Best of all, I know there are yet more gems of truth to find, ready to be "fixed" into the setting of our lives. Thanks for letting me be a part of your scripture study!
What I enjoy most about these presentations is the line by line examination of the scriptures, instead of a theme overview which generally occurs in our lesson plans. Themes are helpful and probably essential, but the line by line presentation exemplifies the power of pondering. Thank you Jared. I listen a bit daily to stimulate my own discoveries.
Brother Halverson, thank you, so much for your insights, perceptions and understanding. I'm grateful for the nuggets you share. They are precious and I treasure how they help me understand my Lord's gospel more. He is my best friend. Thank you for opening the door to comprehending Him and His work a little bit more than it was before. Be blessed, dear brother!
I am very grateful my friend told me about you. I have been greatly blessed from your teachings. Thank you for sharing and teaching us. I like to watch you on our bigscreen tv. It's like having you teach us right here in our home. Again, thank you.
As president Nelson has indicated...” It has never been more necessary for us to know how the Spirit speaks to us to us, than right now.” Personal revealation is the key .....Thank you for this lesson...We are all children of a loving Father in Heaven...who wants us to know Him, by following His Son...in faith, hope, and charity to all❤️😇
I think your lessons are wonderful! It doesn’t matter where the setting is or how close you are! Do it how you’re comfortable. Won’t please everyone! Thank you so much
I loved many teachings from this lesson, but the two that stood out to me are 1. Musing, marveling, meditating, pondering... how many times I checked the box - read scriptures - done and moved on with my day and haven’t pondered. 2. That I need to protect and preserve my testimony, and not be careless or neglectful about it and be aware of the forces that will attack it. Thank you for the effort you put into your videos each week.
Your early comments reminded me of this: “There is loneliness-but a man of your kind has to live with his conscience. A man has to live with his principles. A man has to live with his convictions. A man has to live with his testimony. Unless he does so, he is miserable-dreadfully miserable. And while there may be thorns, while there may be disappointment, while there may be trouble and travail, heartache and heartbreak, and desperate loneliness, there will be peace and comfort and strength.” Gordon B Hinckley
@@kristyjack683 It's from a talk then Elder Hinckley gave at BYU back in 1969, called "The Loneliness of Leadership." It's a classic. Here's a link to the talk if you want to read or listen to it: speeches.byu.edu/talks/gordon-b-hinckley/loneliness-leadership/
Aloha Brother Halverson, thank you so much for the lesson today. I did not hear from you all this time I was writing to you. My name is Sister Beverly Higa, I live on Kauai, Kauai Stake in Hawaii. I love your lessons and the way you teach us and I love all the funny things you compare the lesson with. I must say because your lessons are so long, I do fall asleep off and on. Then the next day I listen to you again. We love the gospel. My Husband, Paul Higa listen to you and we love all the lessons you have taught us. We appreciate all your teaching and all the effort you put into the lessons. I see you have an Ukulele on your shelf. We play our ukulele too. We have several Ukuleles. Thank you again, Brother Paul & Sister Beverly Higa --all the way from Hawaii Stake but we live in the Kauai Stake...
Aloha Sister Higa! It's a pleasure to make a new friend in paradise :) I've only been able to visit Hawaii once (22 years ago), but it was unforgettable. The Lord definitely spent some extra time there perfecting His Creation! My wife and daughters all play the Ukulele and sometimes I try to play along with some very limited guitar. Thanks again for reaching out! May 2021 be a year of peace and joy for you and your family!
Regarding comments about picture and sound..."If you get persecuted by either extremes of an issue, perhaps you are standing right where you need to be." - Jared Halverson 😉👍
Jared, This is related to your comment about Moroni's feet not touching the ground or being soiled by the world. I think you touched on something so profound, that eludes us physical beings. I have had many occasions, to talk about something closely related in regard to our bodies. Having been made from the "dust of the earth", I don't think many of us realize the depth of that connection. We are, until the resurrection, physically and inseparably tied to this earth. It is, in part, why we struggle with the "natural man" in the ways we humans can. I suffer from a physical disability that sometimes renders me fully incapacitated and has sometimes allowed me experiences of the spirit that crystallize both the differences and the intertwining of the spiritual and physical. I have often reflected on what we will be like when we are no longer bound to the earth, but are made of such delicate (as related to structure; of intricate workmanship or quality. Such as "a spider's web, strong yet delicate"), and exceptional spiritual matter! Thank you for shining a light.
Thank you for such a thoughtful, insightful comment. You deepened beautifully what I only touched upon, so thank you for teaching me in return! "Spiritual matter" definitely gives us something to look forward to!
Just found your channel, what a brilliant teacher you are. I have been looking for theological style teaching of the scriptures. I studied in this style using scholarly thoughts and historical context for the synoptic gospels and St.Johns gospel. With an analytical dive into the particular lexis used, and the choices by the authorship. So it has answerd my prayers finding these lessons, and to have something similar for our church's scripture- thank you.
Thank you, Shannon! Sounds like you would be an incredible conversation partner when it comes to scripture study. I look forward to learning together--and only wish it were dialogue instead of monologue!
I am so excited that I was directed to your site by a friend. Studying for me is very difficult. Being able to pause and look at references and take notes is definitely is a plus. I am preparing a talk for next Sunday and you have inspired me to seek deeper. I am 79 and you not only appeal to the institute age students but to most everyone I know age 30 and up. Thank you for making your lessons open to everyone, i am learning so much. Vereen Kennelly, Virginia
I listened to this twice this week. Thank you for sharing your insights with the rest of us. I am grateful for and look forward to each one of your lessons.
If anyone is interested - there is an ensign article that discusses the possible “other passages of scripture”(JSH 1:41) that Moroni quoted to Joseph Smith. It’s in the August 1990 Ensign issue “Moroni’s Message to Joseph Smith” by Kent P. Jackson. I have loved studying this weeks lesson with you, Brother Halverson! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for bringing up this article! Dr. Jackson is awesome (and a good friend), and the other passages he gathers from Oliver Cowdery's recollections form such an incredible list. Some fascinating food for thought there! Thanks again!
Brother Jared, Again thank you for your time and energy. As to our being tried by God: My dad was at heart a “dirt farmer”, one who started out behind a mule team. He took a different tack on trials: God knows how Abraham, and I, will respond to any trial. It was Abraham. , and I, who need to know how we will respond. 👍👍👏👏👏
Brother Jared...even though your voice isn’t as clear as before...The Spirit is. I appreciate your faithful testimony as always....Keep up the good work😇👍. David
Muchísimas gracias hno No sabe cuanto estoy agradecido por sus clases!! Ojala que pueda dar una clase en español un dia este año. Mi testimonio y mi conocimiento ha crecido increíblemente otravez gracias por tener estas clases no las deje porfavor
Thank you for your powerful, enlightening, insightful, educational, and spiritual lessons. I love doing my Come Follow Me lessons, study, and pondering with you. What a blessing you are, and I also prefer the home setting.
I would love it if you could have these a couple weeks ahead of the CFM schedule so we can study ahead of the time we present the lessons to our families. I really love these and appreciate your hard work and knowledge. Thank you!
I agree! So far I've been lucky to keep up with the schedule at all with the amount of content I'm trying to share, but I'll see what I can do to get a little further ahead. Thanks for the feedback!
Brother Halverson, I just love listening to your comments. I have learned so much! I am amazed at your ability to pull apart a verse of scripture and make a total sermon about it! You can teach standing on your head if you want--just keep it coming! I love that you add scriptures, quotes, and pictures on the screen.
Jared, you could teach anywhere and it would still be an amazing lesson! I have learned more from you than I have learned in my 77 years! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and time. You are the biggest blessing that covid has brought to us. You are a missionary to the world. Thank you again and again!
Hey Jared, I loved the three "M's" in v.44. I'm going to practice musing, marveling, and meditating a little more over the scriptures in my personal study this week.
I like that you are not afraid to have long lessons. If I wanted a short lesson I know how to find those. Having an outline of the lesson at the beginning would be cool so I knew where we are headed. It would be super fun to have a guest from time to time. You teased us about how great your wife is at teaching. I would love to learn from her as well. Thank you!
Can't thank you enough. You are bringing the scriptures alive to me - never thought how much JSH 1:27-65 applied directly to me and my journey to become more like Christ. Thank you for the time and effort you devote to making it possible for us to be part of your class. My the Lord bless your efforts and all those who take part in these Come Follow Me lessons.
Le agradezco su dispocisión de enseñarnos más sobre las escrituras y el gran sacrificio que hace por estás maravillosas clases por las cuales aprendo muchísimo. Muchas gracias 😊
Muchisimas gracias por sus palabras bondadosas. Es un privilegio estudiar las escrituras con hermanos y hermanas que regocijan en las palabras de Dios. Gracias, mi hermana!
Brother Halverson, as a stay at home mother of 5 and a homemaker, these lessons that you have felt inspired to teach have truly given me a desire to better understand and immerse myself in scripture study and then share what I have learned with my husband and children. Thank you so much for freely giving your time for this institute class option that is feasible for me.
YOU are the one doing the REAL work, Sister Wilde! Any scripture study support I can offer is a privilege to give. Tell those kids I think their Mom is awesome :)
I did not know about you when we started the D&C last year, so I am doing the D&C and the old testament at the same time. Thanks so much for doing this for us. I come away filled with light and knowledge every morning.
I love being able to pause too- especially when my dog brings his food bowl and drops it at me feet asking for his tea, bless him! Thank you so much for these wonderful lessons and insights. I would have missed so much by having to leave to feed my dog.... I wish the whole Book of Mormon lessons were done.
It all works! You are such a gifted teacher. Thank you so much for these wonderful lessons.
Absolutely life changing for us making you a part of our daily
Scripture study. We’re into what....three weeks running. Good luck with your dissertation! We’ve been back tracking and starting back with D&C 1, now 2/JSH, we really love this❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
This was so powerful! I wrote a couple of journal thoughts, I have never done that. Thank you.
wonderful lesson
I ponder on many things that I have heard
Talks
Videos from different people and verses
Can't always under line for app Can't seem to work correctly ❤
But I'm still learning
Want to get new glasses then I will be able to do better
I love our history of The Church and each book 📖 ❤️ 1:50:27
Thank you Brother Jared Halverson
So enjoy each time I have a chance to rewatch one of these videos
Big fans in our lives
Cat 🐈 and I
Yes,she enjoys the long videos and the new ones.
I have been trying to find one's audio type, it helps when eyes are giving me some issues.
Prayers for all of you and your family members ❤️ 🙏 23:10
Thank you so much!!
I am new to your teaching . I love it. You teach history and I love history!!!!Your knowledge of the scriptures and gospel. Thank you!
I love the way you ended this video on being willing and able. It reminds me of the blessing President Nelson gave to us at the conclusion of this past general conference.
"I bless you with an increased desire and ability to obey the laws of God. I promise that as you do, you will be showered with blessings, including greater courage, increased personal revelation, sweeter harmony in your homes, and joy even amid uncertainty."
Beautiful reminder--thank you for that! "Increased desire and ability" is something we all need!
Dear Jared, I could listen to your teachings day and night. They are helping me so much. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.
I'm so grateful they've been a blessing to you! It's a privilege to be a part of your scripture study!
Thank you! Those two words just don't seem to be enough for what you have taught me. 2 Corinthians 12 and Ether 12 have become even more beautiful and meaningful now that I understand the difference between weakness and weaknesses. They feel more personal, more something. I'm not conveying my thoughts the way I want to, but I know I feel the Spirit confirming truth taught. I just feel so grateful for true teachers like you who use their gifts for the building of the Kingdom of God on earth! I love that every time I listen to your UA-cam videos I come away more and more UNSHAKEN!!!!
Thank you so much, Sister Workman! I know what you mean about the Spirit confirming truth even when we struggle to put it into words (I feel that way every time I teach!). I'm grateful that you're finding these lessons helpful. Thanks for letting me join you for scripture study!
Your knowledge of the scriptures and gospel is extraordinary, you sacrifice your time willingly, and your teachings are perfectly in line with what the world needs so desperately to understand, now more than ever. You have helped motivate me and my wife to become even more familiar with the treasured messages within the covers of these priceless volumes. Our gratitude is full.
Thank you so much for your kindness. I really appreciate that. I'm grateful we get to study the scriptures together!
Brother Halverson, How can I thank YOU for doing this Channel. My husband just started listening. We hope our children will soon tune in....YOU ARE HELPING SAVE SOULS..... THANK YOU!!!
My pleasure! I'm grateful it's been a blessing to you. Thanks for inviting me over for scripture study!
Thank you Brother Jared
- You teach with the spirit
Much appreciated
Thank you so much. I pray that's always the case.
I am enjoying ur lessons tha k u
Thanks a lot.
Is anyone totally amazed that Jared can talk for over two hours and there are no breaks, no stumbling with words, no gathering of thoughts. This is freaking amazing!
Totally agree ❤️ he is amazing and his wisdom and knowledge is so appreciated 🤗
You're very kind. But you don't see all the post-production :) I assure you that there are more breaks, stumblings, and thought-gatherings than I can count. It's actually taught me a lot about repentance. Once the Lord is done with "post-production," our lives will look beautiful. Only we will know how messy it was before all the "editing"!
@@Unshaken Dude, I going to quote this! As an author/editor, this struck home!
@@davidleecrites You feel my pain! The "first draft" is never the "final draft"!
@@Unshaken PAIN is the right word! I make at least a dozen editing passes through my writing I turn it over to editor -- and she will STILL find a gazillion changes... :(
I love the way you teach, such a great command of the scriptures, coupled with your immense knowledge is inspiring. The only time I am able to watch your lessons is at night after my husband (a non member) and dogs go to bed so the house is quiet. I have come back to the church after more than 20 years of inactivity. I have so much to learn and like your student I often pause to read referenced verses, back up to listen again, make notes and think about what you have said. It takes longer to watch the entire lesson but well worth missing a little sleep. Thank you so much for your dedication to your calling to teach, your love of the gospel and willingness to plant seeds that help us grow,
You sound like an amazing person! Welcome back home :) I pray these lessons are a blessing to you in your journey.
I love this I feel like I am in a class and thank you for the message to our converts. I am a convert myself, all I remember, I was getting baptized at an early age, however we went inactive right away, my mom came from a Catholic background, she was baptized too, not sure she did it because my two older brothers joined the church. I remember as a kid I loved going to church, long story. When I was 16 our Stake President and his counselors came to our home inviting us to church, I was excited not knowing I was a member. My mother said no. When I was 18 years old I saw one of my older brother sneaking out of the house and I asked where are you going? My brother said shhh going to church, I said wait I am coming. When we got to church and entered I felt the most beautiful feeling, I knew then without no one testifying to me of the truth except for the spirit I knew the church was true. I found the Bishop and asked I wanted to be baptized, like ASAP lols. My sweet Bishop assured me I was from then on I felt like a new person and I thanked our Stake President for searching out the lost sheep. Has my life been perfect? No lols, however I can testify that Heavenly Father is there when we need him, and yes he will try us and good thing for the heads up because I would be so lost without the Gospel.
What a beautiful experience--feeling the Lord reach out to you through your Stake President. Thank you for sharing! It's something we can all do better, as we try to help each other find their way home!
This morning as I was reviewing a note I had written in my scripture that Joseph Smith is the first messenger mentioned in Malachi 3:1 ( also discussed by Jared in this lesson), I realized that Joseph Smith is like John the Baptist...he was to prepare the way before the Lord’s (2nd) Coming. Joseph had several similarities to John the Baptist including being a martyr, living a rough (difficult) life, crying in the wilderness, etc.
Also, last night just before going to sleep I briefly read a verse in JS-H 1:57. It was Joseph and Emma’s 194th wedding anniversary yesterday.
I thank Heavenly Father for you. There are no words to adequately express how I feel and how your lessons bring the Spirit into my heart and soul so powerfully. This lesson was very personal to me for some reason. I had to stop several times to just breathe and ponder what you said, then rewind and listen again and again. Thank you for sacrificing so much to teach us the gospel from the scriptures.This was a WOW lesson for me.I just want more.
"If you get persecuted by either extremes of an issue, perhaps you are standing right where you need to be." Jared Halverson
Thanks. I needed that.
Jared, you're doing just fine . We appreciate you' sacrificing your time presenting these amazing researched and inspiring lessons wherever or however presented 😇....
I like what you say ' God does leave us to try us'... Giving us time to grow. 💙
Thank you! I'm grateful the lessons are a blessing to you. I'm grateful we can study the scriptures together!
My husband has not been active for a couple of years so I am alone when comes to studying at home I am alone its hard because I love listening to your lessons have been a blessing thank you
We all have ups and downs spiritually (just like we have them physically, mentally, and emotionally). I'm sure your patience and perseverance have been a blessing to him as you've walked beside him along his journey. He'll know where to "come home" whenever he decides to! So hold on to charity, even when faith or hope might be hard to come by!
As a solo teenage convert to the church, you nailed it.
I love you teaching from home ... warm and professional at the same time💕💕💕
Great feedback. Thank you!
I know you can’t please everyone but I am sorry to have you step back. I felt you were right there with me. However I need to say thank you so much for your generosity in sharing with us. My husband and I have finally agreed on a teacher. We study so differently it is nice to both enjoy the things we learn and can talk together. I know this is a sacrifice for you but I selfishly hope you can continue for a long time. You teach in a way that makes my day better as I have something to ponder each day as I listen to just a portion of your lesson at a time so I can ponder more deeply. I love that you can use all the scriptures and prophets. Thanks again
Ever since I began watching these great lessons, my knowledge of the scriptures has increased. Thank you very much Jared, you are a great teacher. In Swahili we say, "Hongera sana mwalimu ", being interpreted to, "Congratulations, teacher". I have learned how to compare scriptural passages in the Standard Works. May you continue to be a source of enlightenment to many people around the world.
You said thank you for putting up with your audio. I say thank you for putting up with us. You can teach any where you are comfortable,desk no desk, office or home, it doesn't matter. I love your teaching and testimony. I am just happy you are helping me with come follow me. I learn so much from you.
Thank you for such a kind comment :) Over the years I've learned that being able to "roll with the punches" is an attribute well worth developing, and I'm grateful you've already got it! Thank you for letting me join you for scripture study!
I have shed tears as I read the revelation about the highway from the north. I couldn't understand despite hours of study and thought and prayer. Today you moved the highway from shelf 3 to shelf 2. I cannot thank you enough for filling this hole in my understanding. Each lesson is like Christmas morning. Thank you. Nancy
I think you are awesome no matter where you are! Im so excited that we get 2 hours this week! I can't get enough!
Thanks so much!
It doesn’t matter to me where you teach from, every video lesson is inspiring! Continual thanks from a single mom in Ogden, Utah.
Thank you! My grandma was a single mother and it's hard to imagine a more self-sacrificing soul than those who find themselves in that situation. I pray these lessons invite the Spirit's strength and comfort into your life. You deserve it!
So very inspiring, uplifting and opening so many avenues to connect past studies and shed tons of light and understsnding. Thank you for applying yourself to this end snd sharing. M perkins
@@marshaperkins7070 Thank you so much. Scripture study has always been a joy for me, so I'm grateful for the opportunity to share with others. Thanks for letting me join you!
Wow. This message was amazing. I had a spiritual experience this morning and wrote it down. Then 3 hours later I get told write it down and God gives more.
No wonder the Lord rewarded you! You proved to Him that you value His promptings!
I have to express my gratitude for the opportunity I have to access your teaching, knowledge, experiences, education, perspective and testimony. I love the questions you ask throughout your lessons. Every lesson is such an insightful 2 hours for me. I just found your channel at the start of this year and I’ve already had so many impressions, so much enlightenment, and I am in constant awe at things I am learning for the first time, even though I have studied the Doctrine and Covenants many times before. I was actually listening to your lesson on the first vision while cleaning my bathroom. It was awesome to be scrubbing the floor and washing the sinks and counters with tear filled eyes as you shared the story and as the spirit touched my heart and enlightened my mind. “What do you know that God knows you know because he’s the one who revealed it to you.” WOW! Such a cool question to reflect on. LOVED that!! I thank you, Jared, for sharing these lessons with us each week. I have been sharing your channel with Everyone!! It’s truly a wonderful gift for which I cannot express my gratitude enough. Love the word you use to describe things which cannot be expressed in words...ineffable. 😍 God bless you for your efforts to spread the gospel to all nations! 🙏🏻Happy Sunday!
Thank you for such a kind and thoughtful comment. I'm grateful the Spirit can do His work even when we have to be doing ours (I loved picturing you feeling His guidance while cleaning the kitchen). Talk about being anxiously engaged! Thank you for letting me join you for scripture study! I'm grateful it's a blessing for us both!
You are great. Do what is comfortable for you. Your knowledge is the most important factor. All else is just cosmetic.
Thank you for that!
Right. I often listen on the go (during my commute, etc,), so the content is definitely the most important for me! Thank you for your sacrifice!
I truly feel as if I am in a session of a beloved class taught in the Schools of the Prophets and Prophetesses. Thank you so much for parting the veil of understanding so that we may see!
Such a wonderful thought! Thank you for that. Of course, if this really were the School of the Prophets and Prophtesses, I'd be sitting right alongside you soaking it in from the ultimate Teachers! Thanks for putting up with me in the meantime--it's a blessing to study together!
I was watching this while on the treadmill... and at one point was overcome and had to step to the side, close my eyes, and take deep breaths to compose myself. (I think other gym members may have been worried I was going to pass out!😂). Your words were once again an answer to a prayer to something that was troubling me deeply and has been a matter of great prayer for me. Thank you so much for your time and effort in preparing these 🙏🏼🌟.
I'm just impressed that you not only hit the treadmill, but bring the Spirit with you when you run! Even the gym can be a holy place when the Lord reaches out to us there. I'm grateful He did that for you today. And thanks for bringing me along for the run--that's the closest I've been to a treadmill for a while ;)
I discovered your lessons about 5 months ago and I just want you to know how much I appreciate all the time and effort you have put into them. Your lifetime of learning and studying are a blessing to me. I am so in awe of your knowledge and ability to share your insights with us. Thank you so much, I am an avid listener.
"When the student is ready. The teacher will come"!
Well, I thought it was better at the desk, however the main thing is the teaching. You do a great job regardless of the setting. Thank you for all you do. Sound is good with me.
Thank you! I'm grateful for the feedback!
It sounds like there is way too much base? It's ok though. The lesson itself is the important part.🐱
"No wonder you start mingling with all kinds of society....It's hard to be faithful alone."
You just described the singles program after age thirty. May we all have more than mere empathy for our singles; may we seek ways to help them network in a microscopic pool with high consequences.
I was Baptized when I was 68. I always seem to be learning. So pleased someone told me about your knowledgeable yet personable talks. You are a blessing to me. Appreciate how you connect all the scriptures. Thank you.
Good morning my brother thanks so much for sharing the teaching of the Gospel
Thank you so much for sharing your insight. I have learned much this day.
Dear Brother Halverson. One of the biggest blessings for me coming out of COVID is you. I enjoy so much listening to you that even though I live in Switzerland I can go for a walk with your words in my ears. Today when I listened to you explaining posterity, promised land and priesthood and the ultimate goal of the earthly experience, it made me cry. My testimony of Jesus Christ goes so deep and it defines my life. I love going to the temple to celebrate my covenants and receive the strength for my everyday life. However my husband hasn't made the step yet to be baptized so I am not married in the temple. I am not sealed to receive posterity, promised land and priesthood. The words "in vain" made me think. Please don't stop talking "to me" in what ever chair or proximity to the camera you choose to do it in. Thank you
Thank you so much, Sister Hess. It's an honor to accompany you on your walks--though I wish I had your view of the beautiful Swiss landscape along the way! And I'm sure that your example is doing more good in your marriage than you may realize. It's charity that never faileth, and as long as that is there, there is room for faith and hope to grow in time. There are so many parts to the equation--a person's background and upbringing, their culture and environment, their mental outlook and spiritual gifts, their experiences and perceptions of those experiences--so there's no need to pass "final judgment" before the Lord does. There is always hope! As I've often told my students, permanent bad news is against my religion!
Your husband may be growing spiritually in ways he doesn’t even understand, Sis. Hess. Keep living the gospel and showing love in everything you do. That will make the atmosphere right for him to change when the time is right. At a recent funeral I heard that the non-member husband had recently developed a testimony of Jesus Christ and his gospel as he knew it. He was progressing and was at peace at the time of his death. I have no doubt that he will accept the gospel and the ordinances in the future. There is always hope!
@@Unshaken thank you.
Sister Hess, you may have sealed family you’ve not met yet! My 6th great-grandfather was Hans Hess who came from Switzerland to the US in 1717. Hess being a common name, who knows if we are related? But there are Hess sealing lines already begun!
@@Momcamp02 that is very well possible. Hess is my husbands name and he has a Hans Ulrich Hess born 23. March 1727 died 21.Oct. 1783 from Walterswil? Is that him?
Excellent! Learning how to “learn better” with you every week!
Somehow I've never noticed the stong tie in to temple covenants in Moroni's quotations of Bible verses. I really liked the observation that Moroni was informing Joseph of his entire calling, not just about the plates.
So true! Moroni was definitely trying to give Joseph "the big picture"! Incredible how long it took for some of those verses to make sense to Joseph. Thanks for sharing!
It doesn't matter to me where you are teaching your lesson I am grateful for every word, thank you so much
Brother Jared thank you so much I have always been hot and cold in the church, and have not done much research in the old testament. I’ve always wondered what the governments and the promises were and could never seem to put my finger on them. You’ve made it simple and I’m so glad. Prosperity. Promised land. And priesthood. What a great blessing. I noticed a lot of people talking about the sound and I’m hearing you just fine. Thanks for all you do
I'm so grateful to hear that it helped! We all have our ups and downs, our hots and colds, but hopefully we're following a general upward trend :) Keep fighting the good fight, my friend!
The three blessings of God's covenant with Abraham were Priesthood, Inheritance or Promised Land and Increase as numerous as the stars or Posterity...descendence...children. It's easy to mix up posterity with prosperity. But that too is implied in the inheritance portion or Promised land part of the blessing. It's a lot to wrap your head around, huh. Good stuff! I love Brother Halverson's videos!!!!
Thank you so much for your lessons. I have to keep pausing to take it all in, it is overwhelmingly spiritual and leaves me in tears and wonder at times! It is reinforcing my testimony of the truth of our Church, just over and over again. I am so grateful for all the time and effort you put into this. I like your little study at home and can't fault anything.😊❤️
I thought you were great closer to the camera. I love these videos and have learned so much! Thanks for all you do!
Wwqw
Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it!
Me too!
I agree! I liked it closer!
Closer... but I’ll go with the flow. Love the videos.
I’m so inspired by your lessons. They bring so much light to all points of the scriptures. I often find myself asking, why didn’t I think of that before? I look forward to your lessons and ask to please do not stop sharing your light even past Covid.
Thank you, Mary! I know what you mean about seeing things for the first time that have always been there, just waiting to be discovered. Best of all, I know there are yet more gems of truth to find, ready to be "fixed" into the setting of our lives. Thanks for letting me be a part of your scripture study!
What I enjoy most about these presentations is the line by line examination of the scriptures, instead of a theme overview which generally occurs in our lesson plans. Themes are helpful and probably essential, but the line by line presentation exemplifies the power of pondering. Thank you Jared. I listen a bit daily to stimulate my own discoveries.
Brother Halverson, thank you, so much for your insights, perceptions and understanding. I'm grateful for the nuggets you share. They are precious and I treasure how they help me understand my Lord's gospel more. He is my best friend. Thank you for opening the door to comprehending Him and His work a little bit more than it was before. Be blessed, dear brother!
Thank you so much. I'm grateful these lessons have been a blessing to you. I'm grateful for the chance to join you in your scripture study!
I am very grateful my friend told me about you. I have been greatly blessed from your teachings. Thank you for sharing and teaching us. I like to watch you on our bigscreen tv. It's like having you teach us right here in our home. Again, thank you.
Thank you! Scripture study time is so sacred, so I'm honored to be a guest in your home. I'll be sure to wipe my feet before I come in :)
I am still so very grateful for our teacher . thankful that you are teaching!
As president Nelson has indicated...” It has never been more necessary for us to know how the Spirit speaks to us to us, than right now.” Personal revealation is the key .....Thank you for this lesson...We are all children of a loving Father in Heaven...who wants us to know Him, by following His Son...in faith, hope, and charity to all❤️😇
Beautifully put! Thank you!
I think your lessons are wonderful! It doesn’t matter where the setting is or how close you are! Do it how you’re comfortable. Won’t please everyone! Thank you so much
Keep up the great work Jared,you inspired me big time,you are a great and very effective instrument in the Lord's Hands.
Thank you so much. I'm grateful we can study the scriptures together!
I loved many teachings from this lesson, but the two that stood out to me are 1. Musing, marveling, meditating, pondering... how many times I checked the box - read scriptures - done and moved on with my day and haven’t pondered. 2. That I need to protect and preserve my testimony, and not be careless or neglectful about it and be aware of the forces that will attack it. Thank you for the effort you put into your videos each week.
Your early comments reminded me of this:
“There is loneliness-but a man of your kind has to live with his conscience. A man has to live with his principles. A man has to live with his convictions. A man has to live with his testimony. Unless he does so, he is miserable-dreadfully miserable. And while there may be thorns, while there may be disappointment, while there may be trouble and travail, heartache and heartbreak, and desperate loneliness, there will be peace and comfort and strength.” Gordon B Hinckley
Thank you for posting this comment it's just what I needed to read...
Such a great statement--from one who understood that loneliness well. Thank you for sharing!
Do you have the source for this Hinckley quote?
@@kristyjack683 It's from a talk then Elder Hinckley gave at BYU back in 1969, called "The Loneliness of Leadership." It's a classic. Here's a link to the talk if you want to read or listen to it: speeches.byu.edu/talks/gordon-b-hinckley/loneliness-leadership/
Aloha Brother Halverson, thank you so much for the lesson today. I did not hear from you all this time I was writing to you.
My name is Sister Beverly Higa, I live on Kauai, Kauai Stake in Hawaii.
I love your lessons and the way you teach us and I love all the funny things you compare the
lesson with. I must say because your lessons are so long, I do fall asleep off and on. Then the next day I listen to you again. We love the gospel. My Husband, Paul Higa listen to you and we love all the lessons you have taught us. We appreciate all your teaching and all the effort
you put into the lessons. I see you have an Ukulele on your shelf. We play our ukulele too.
We have several Ukuleles.
Thank you again, Brother Paul & Sister Beverly Higa --all the way from Hawaii Stake
but we live in the Kauai Stake...
Aloha Sister Higa! It's a pleasure to make a new friend in paradise :) I've only been able to visit Hawaii once (22 years ago), but it was unforgettable. The Lord definitely spent some extra time there perfecting His Creation! My wife and daughters all play the Ukulele and sometimes I try to play along with some very limited guitar. Thanks again for reaching out! May 2021 be a year of peace and joy for you and your family!
Good wisdom to share. God Bless America...
Regarding comments about picture and sound..."If you get persecuted by either extremes of an issue, perhaps you are standing right where you need to be." - Jared Halverson 😉👍
Haha! Thank you!
Thank you, wonderful lesson!
Thank you, Elder Halverson. I really appreciate your teachings.
*and I 💘 your shelves!
I appreciate the channel just as it is...thank you so much for inviting the Spirit into these study sessions.
Thank you!
I don't care at all where you teach from, you could teach from the beach, a bench in the woods, a desk, a kitchen table. I'm just here to learn.
Wow.
Just had an incredible vision open as I heard Joseph account near minute marker 48.
Thank you.
I have this on and decided to scroll through the comments. I read your comment at the 47:17 mark...
Talk about Devine timing...😳😁
Thank you Jared! You are a wonderful teacher. We all benefit from your years of learning and teaching.
Your videos help me be faithful to the come follow me program. You are administering Angel to me and my wife
Thank you so much for the pearls...🤍
Jared, This is related to your comment about Moroni's feet not touching the ground or being soiled by the world. I think you touched on something so profound, that eludes us physical beings.
I have had many occasions, to talk about something closely related in regard to our bodies. Having been made from the "dust of the earth", I don't think many of us realize the depth of that connection. We are, until the resurrection, physically and inseparably tied to this earth. It is, in part, why we struggle with the "natural man" in the ways we humans can.
I suffer from a physical disability that sometimes renders me fully incapacitated and has sometimes allowed me experiences of the spirit that crystallize both the differences and the intertwining of the spiritual and physical.
I have often reflected on what we will be like when we are no longer bound to the earth, but are made of such delicate (as related to structure; of intricate workmanship or quality. Such as "a spider's web, strong yet delicate"), and exceptional spiritual matter!
Thank you for shining a light.
Thank you for such a thoughtful, insightful comment. You deepened beautifully what I only touched upon, so thank you for teaching me in return! "Spiritual matter" definitely gives us something to look forward to!
Just found your channel, what a brilliant teacher you are. I have been looking for theological style teaching of the scriptures. I studied in this style using scholarly thoughts and historical context for the synoptic gospels and St.Johns gospel. With an analytical dive into the particular lexis used, and the choices by the authorship. So it has answerd my prayers finding these lessons, and to have something similar for our church's scripture- thank you.
Thank you, Shannon! Sounds like you would be an incredible conversation partner when it comes to scripture study. I look forward to learning together--and only wish it were dialogue instead of monologue!
Thank you that is humbling.
I am so excited that I was directed to your site by a friend. Studying for me is very difficult. Being able to pause and look at references and take notes is definitely is a plus. I am preparing a talk for next Sunday and you have inspired me to seek deeper. I am 79 and you not only appeal to the institute age students but to most everyone I know age 30 and up. Thank you for making your lessons open to everyone, i am learning so much. Vereen Kennelly, Virginia
I love it I listening while driving today! I love it
Thank you for such a wonderful missionary work! Blessings to you and your family
Thank you!
I listened to this twice this week. Thank you for sharing your insights with the rest of us. I am grateful for and look forward to each one of your lessons.
If anyone is interested - there is an ensign article that discusses the possible “other passages of scripture”(JSH 1:41) that Moroni quoted to Joseph Smith. It’s in the August 1990 Ensign issue “Moroni’s Message to Joseph Smith” by Kent P. Jackson. I have loved studying this weeks lesson with you, Brother Halverson! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for bringing up this article! Dr. Jackson is awesome (and a good friend), and the other passages he gathers from Oliver Cowdery's recollections form such an incredible list. Some fascinating food for thought there! Thanks again!
Brother Jared,
Again thank you for your time and energy.
As to our being tried by God:
My dad was at heart a “dirt farmer”, one who started out behind a mule team.
He took a different tack on trials: God knows how Abraham, and I, will respond to any trial. It was Abraham. , and I, who need to know how we will respond.
👍👍👏👏👏
Never thought about removing the junk and dirt in my life... comparing to getting the plates.
Brother Jared...even though your voice isn’t as clear as before...The Spirit is. I appreciate your faithful testimony as always....Keep up the good work😇👍. David
Thank you! I'm working on fixing the audio (still not sure what happened this time). THanks for putting up with the technical difficulties!
Muchísimas gracias hno
No sabe cuanto estoy agradecido por sus clases!! Ojala que pueda dar una clase en español un dia este año.
Mi testimonio y mi conocimiento ha crecido increíblemente otravez gracias por tener estas clases no las deje porfavor
Thank you for your powerful, enlightening, insightful, educational, and spiritual lessons. I love doing my Come Follow Me lessons, study, and pondering with you. What a blessing you are, and I also prefer the home setting.
Thank you so much. I'm grateful for the feedback, and really appreciate your kind words.
I would love it if you could have these a couple weeks ahead of the CFM schedule so we can study ahead of the time we present the lessons to our families. I really love these and appreciate your hard work and knowledge. Thank you!
I agree! So far I've been lucky to keep up with the schedule at all with the amount of content I'm trying to share, but I'll see what I can do to get a little further ahead. Thanks for the feedback!
Brother Halverson, I just love listening to your comments. I have learned so much! I am amazed at your ability to pull apart a verse of scripture and make a total sermon about it! You can teach standing on your head if you want--just keep it coming! I love that you add scriptures, quotes, and pictures on the screen.
Always inspiring...Thank you!
I really like your home setting better than your office. I feel more relaxed listening to you! 😊
Great to know! Thank you!
Thank you for your lessons, makes it easier to understand. You are so knowledgeable on the Scriptures.
Thank you. I really appreciate you making this depth of gospel study freely available.
Jared, you could teach anywhere and it would still be an amazing lesson! I have learned more from you than I have learned in my 77 years! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and time. You are the biggest blessing that covid has brought to us. You are a missionary to the world. Thank you again and again!
Hey Jared, I loved the three "M's" in v.44. I'm going to practice musing, marveling, and meditating a little more over the scriptures in my personal study this week.
Keep your hard work on teaching us ... thanks so much you the best .. hugs to you and your family.
Thank you, I too pause these vids several times to deeply take it in. Very informative on how to receive personal revelation. So edifying👍 🙏
This was an amazing message to open to my mind the detailed understanding of the restoration. Thank you Jared.
I love the way you teach . I look forward to listening to you every Sunday morning.
THANL YOU .Virginia ,Nuffer Freedom Ca
I like that you are not afraid to have long lessons. If I wanted a short lesson I know how to find those. Having an outline of the lesson at the beginning would be cool so I knew where we are headed. It would be super fun to have a guest from time to time. You teased us about how great your wife is at teaching. I would love to learn from her as well. Thank you!
