My friend told me about your podcast when I recently got put in as the adult Sunday school teacher. I listen to you on my phone through the podcast app. I tracked you down on TH-cam for the sole purpose of being able to thank you for all the time you put in making these extremely helpful videos! It is impossible not to recognize the spirit accompanying every second of these wonderful lessons. I called my kid who goes to BYU and told him he needs to sign up for one of your classes! My husband even commented on how he would like to go to your lessons. He is now listening to all your weekly podcasts, that is huge for me! Thank you! 2024 is the first year I started listening to you. It sounds like your old videos were much longer. I hope you never accomplish your goal of 1 hour! There would be so much awesome insight we would miss out on! While I wouldn’t mind your longer videos, the time frame you have going so far this year is great. Here’s hoping you just can’t help yourself, and the 2 hour mark stays 😊
I been a follower since he came online and have learned sooo much! Please- You need to go through the Bible with him- you will absolutely be UNSHAKABLE… when you’re done!
❤
Try the Old Testament with him, especially Isaiah!! ❤
Wonderful to go back to❤
I also agree that I hope he never, ever gets to the one hour!!!!
Halverson really is a great teacher.
I imagine Brother Halverson was one of those people who taught us in the pre-mortal world. I love the way you teach Jared! I just get it when you speak!
Dear Brother Halverson,
Thank you for introducing the “Iron Rod - Liahona” chart a couple lessons ago. I shared it with my sisters in Relief Society during my assigned lesson as a teacher. The sisters loved it! They found so many applications in their lives, as well as in scriptures study. The participation in the class skyrocketed! After the lesson, one of them came with tears saying, “the sister sitting next to me told me, ‘I am so glad I came to church today, this is what I needed to hear’,” another sister who has not been to church in months said, “this chart clarifies so many things for me.” The Spirit was so strong in the classroom this past Sunday! Love your podcasts!
Which lesson was this please?
I loved this analogy, also. I need to go back and find the chart. I often just listen, and don't see the pictures shared.
Thank you for being a part of my daily devotional, and commute, grateful for your valiant heart and the effort you put into these lessons, we appreciate it.
I am so grateful for your personalizing the Gathering of Israel. I have been in such darkness and felt so alone. To think of Him in the same room as me. Scattered Israel / I reaching out to Him and He comes to us. Thank you Brother Halverson. You have given me hope.
Brother Halverson, whenever I feel like I can't keep going, I listen to your videos.
I've spent many sleepless nights with your words, and have too many of my own to express.
🎶Flood
-Jars of clay🎶
Me too! We are blessed to have his podcasts to bouy us up!
Yes! I have had some sleepless nights, and I turn on his video, and I become more calm as I listen to the 'Book of Mormon Stories' and able to sleep.
Oh my gosh! Me too🎉😅
So grateful you have opened up your classroom to the online community. I have learned so much from these lessons and share them as often as I can. Thank you for giving your gifts!
I love the added insight on the phrase “thy walls are continually before me.” It always made me think of imprisonment, and I thought of how we are imprisoned by our mistakes and sins, and Christ is our advocate before the judgement bar of God. I love thinking of an advocate that is constantly thinking of the prison walls his friend is surrounded by, and being motivated to do everything possible to liberate them. (Greetings from the Far West ward!)
I have been watching/listening to you forever! I was sad when you shortened your videos! 😄 But I’m enjoying and learning just as much from each one still! Thank you and please don’t ever discontinue your presentations! They bring so much life to the scriptures for me! I have shared you… far and wide with everyone I know! They all love you as well! ❤
This is outstanding brother. So tender. So much between the lines.
i love your lessons Brother Halverson. I appreciate every single word!! I love your tender stories about your family, for your ability to relate the scriptural message to my life, and for the sacrifice of your time. In 'The Chosen' the Savior says to Eden, Simon's wife, that because they are married Simon's sacrifices are her sacrifices, and her sacrifices are his. And then He says to her, " I see you". I love that. I know that He sees your wife's sacrifice. Thank you to you both !!
So good. His love, Thank you very much😍👏
Dear Bro Halverson, moving into our fifth year of study with you, I have made many comments thanking you for all you do. This morning is different. As I began part 2 of this CFM lesson and your discussion on Nephi's writing of Isaiah, I felt immediately enclosed, enveloped even in the most wonderful feeling of love. Love from Isaiah, from Nephi, from the Saviour and the love you feel for all of us who you may never meet. Words of thanks don't suffice this morning, but thank you once again, we are full of appreciation These are words of Isaiah that I have read countless times, and yet today they struck me with complete happiness. We know how this works and how it happens, but it never ceases to amaze us, and here's hoping it never does.
thank you for bringing so many teachings that i learned long ago in preparation for earth life from my long term memory to the short term so that I can be reminded of the goodness and love I was given to come to earth and return with
I love the visual in my mind of carrying scattered Israel on shoulders. So powerful! Thank you!
Thank you Brother Halverson. I thank Our father in Heaven for blessing you with the gift to be able to share and teach with the power of the spirit the scriptures. We are truly blessed. Thank you for the time and effort, and love that you put into preparing each lesson, but also the deep love that I feel you have for our Father in Heaven and our beloved Savior Jesus Christ. May Heavenly Father continue to bless you and your family for your love, faith and sacrifice you make to share his love, light and truth for us who are seeking it.❤❤
For me doesn't matter the time you take to deliver the lesson I love to hear, and I always can go back if I want to. Usually I don't watch, but I listen most of the times while I work in early morning. Thank you brother Halverson.
I appreciate your insightful comments on the scriptures and you have a very pleasant voice! Cheery greetings from Grove Oklahoma!
Amen ❤
I love that walking the walk chapter. Sometimes i feel i give into not walking the walk.
Thanks so much for your beautiful lessons and the time you take to make them. I especially love your personal examples. I miss verse by verse, but understand your time constraints. The Lord bless you. I have watched every minute for nearly four years and it has blessed me greatly.
Thanks again for the fantastic lesson!!!
I have been watching #1 & #2 of 1Nephi 16-22. I have loved all 3+ hours of it. 1Nephi 21:25 especially “and I will save thy children “.
I love Isaiah and your depiction of our modern prophets Maxwell and Oaks provide a polarizing perspective that brings home the imagery of Isaiah and the plainness of Nephi. Thank you!🙏🏼🫵🏻
So appreciate these podcast - inspired visionary speaker.
Thank you for a wonderful lesson.
13:15 Watching from the Philippines yes it's true we have so many dialects, I don't understand other people's language on the other islands here in my own country
Great lesson!!
Thnx so much for the insight I gain from the lessons you taught in 1 Nephi 16-22. God bless.
Thank you! From Wenatchee WA!
Bro. Halverson, my husband is a nonmember and over the years has refused to read the Book of Mormon. In fact, when the young missionaries are in our home and ask him to read a passage he will always defer to me. He (my husband) had been wanting to read Revelation so I suggested your study of that book. I gave him a way out if he started but found you too Mormon 😊 He was riveted. For me, my heart was thankful because you teach ALL scripture and living prophets because all truth is circumscribed into one great whole. We completed Revelations and then he mention he wanted to read Isaiah......of course you are using all teaching combined into one great whole. Thank you for your love for God and His Son and your desire to teach His children.
I like that perspective on walls. My impression was always the opposite. I saw walls, like the protective hedge in Isaiah, as safety in one’s covenants. Just as the children of Israel walked safely through the walls of the Red Sea, keeping our covenant with Christ places walls of safety from the world around us. As we live inside those walls of covenant, Christ is bound to protect, lead and help us through or deliver us from our challenges.
I'm trying something new this year. I got a Journal edition of the BOM and am writing the impressions in it. as well as artwork and extra pages when needed. It's been an experience so far.
I love these books shall come forth in the future. Miss you explaining names,but picked up on he chose his brother’s names to be ,unlike what his means. Once we have dotted the earth,
Earth soon shall be no need for Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father shall be upon the earth
My cup runneth over with my many blessings from God.
Thank you for each video and a wonderful study 📖 ❤ 18:27
beautiful testimony that strengthened my own
Thank you for a.great lesson. I have learned a lot from your style of teaching
Thanks so much Jared !
I do miss the one on one verses but not the long hours. Thank you Jered.
Brother Jared Halverson, you inspire me so much. I thank you. Please keep up we have so much to learn to help our new branches here on other parts of Zion
Wonderful! Thank you! 🙏🏻❤️☀️
So so powerful! Thank you for sharing this!
13:18
Filipino here and I assure you that you are correct when you said that we have a lot of languages here.. . I myself can speak 4 different languages here in the Philippines.. . English making the 5th language that I speak.
Thank you for your wonderful lessons Brother Jared.
Another insightful podcast. Thank you
I loved the story about carrying your daughter on your shoulders. It reminded me of my grandpa, he used to pick us up by our ears. He would grab our ears and we would hold on to his forearms and jump and then wrap our legs around his waist. I loved it so much! And I asked him: “Papa, will you still be picking me up by my ears when I’m in college?” He thought that was so funny. And I definitely had him pick me up by my ears as long as he could! Miss him! Thanks for letting me think of that precious memory. ❤️🥹🙏🏻
Thank you for helping me think about the importance of walls in 1 Nephi 21:16. Do you think an exploration of the history of the Western Wall might help come to a deeper understanding of Isaiah's words here? What other walls might be important to scattered Israel and how might they be symbolic of our own personal barriers to experiencing God's presence... or seeing, hearing, knowing and feeling the love of God in our lives?
Amen.
Loving all these parallels.
I am new to listening to your podcast this year and going at a slow pace. I have been enriched by your insights and wanted to thank you. You discussed my favorite scripture 1 Nephi 21:16. I enjoyed your thoughts on "thy walls are continually before me." I have always envisioned the picture of Christ knocking on the door with no knob, waiting for us to open the door. I interrupted this scripture as the Savior saying something like: "I can't forget you. I literally have you engraved into my hands, yet you place walls up before me to keep me out when all I want is for you to let me in." It is interesting to think of it the other way, that He is in the room we are in, He sees our walls and is there with us. I love how the scripture can speak differently to your heart at different times in your life. Thanks for sharing how it spoke to your heart!
Jared, you have such a way. Thanks for the Isaiah “translation”. 👀!
Happy birthday tomorrow brother Halverson!
I also love the nursing father/mother imagery! I think the idea of the nursing “father” is drawing on the ancient Christian and Islamic concept of milk-kinship: basically, the husband of the wet-nurse becomes the father of the infant she is nursing. I’d have to double check but I’m pretty sure this kinship was taken so seriously that the wet-nurse’s children could not legally marry the infants she nursed because it was considered incestuous.
❤1 Nephi 21:16 and your personal input.
These verses about kings and queens being nursing fathers and mothers are temple verses to me. As temple patrons we receive promises to become kings and queens. In serving those beyond the veil are we not carrying them "home" upon our shoulders?
Love your weekly lessons!!!
When you started talking about the walls before us, I thought that sometimes it might be the walls we put up between us and the Savior and that we need to invite Him onto our side more often.
Bro Hal,
Love you love your show. You really struggle coming close to your hr a week goal! I’ll enjoy all that you post however!
We started watching Unshaken 4 years ago. We love it and and appreciate you. I have a friend who would like to go back and watch the Book of Mirmon from those earlier episodes of unshaken. Is that possible?
You can find his older videos on his “Unshaken” channel by going to the videos selection and then click on the “oldest” selection. It works best when you subscribe to his channel.
Update: sorry I just noticed that the videos of 3 years ago start with Jacob and anything previous is not on the watchlist.
He didn't start doing videos until COVID, so the Jacob videos are the first ones from four years ago :)
🌹🕊🤲🏾🕊
I am somewhat amused that when Lamen and Lemuel asked about the meaning of the tree, Nephi says it is a representation of the tree of life, and spends no time explaining that amazing pure love of God. The very thing they needed to experience, but instead he spends all the time explaining the restoration of Israel and holding fast to the word of God. The whole condescension of Christ and His most precious love was passed over.
As a scriptural matter, I recommend reviewing 1 Nephi 15:19, 25 and 16:4-5. I can draw at least 3 conclusions from those verses. First, we don't know all that Nephi said. Second, Nephi tried hard and really cared. Third, Nephi's answers had a positive effect.
As a practical matter, I have sometimes been asked a gospel question by two different people in two different contexts. Because of the many differences in circumstances (my relationship with each person, how much time I perceived I had, things we had talked about previously, what I knew of their faith, etc.), I answered the same question differently. In addition to the fact that each answer was imperfect (and I kicked myself later for not putting it better), each answer was also tailored. And someone listening to one answer would likely not understand why I attempted to use certain details or words (and omitted others) because they do not know the full context. Based on my practical experience, I've learned to be careful not to judge how someone else answers their friend's question.
Thus, based on reading the account in the scriptures and on my own practical experience, I see nothing amusing here.
@@nathanboyce282 well wow I’m sorry, I guess I stand rebucked
@@paulagraves6517 I was not trying to rebuke. Just trying to set forth my different perspective on this account clearly. But I can see now that my tone was perhaps too stiff. For that I apologize. And I wish you well in your Gospel journey.
@@nathanboyce282 your point was good but I must rephrase. Amused was not a good choice of words. I wanted to say that given what was condensed and given back to us today, I find it interesting that his discourse on the pure love of Christ was so short. It was merely an observation. I was not intending to criticize him. Thank you for your input.
There is a thought i there that Isaiah 48 and 49 has dual meeting. That he speaks of the prophet Joseph Smith doing a "marvelous work and wonder" if you read his patriarchal blessing and read transcripts he is from the lineage of Joseph and king David etc..interesting read.
Your or better yet Nephi's mentioning ore, again, cause me to think that Lehi and his sons were metal smiths of some kind.
HISTORICAL FACTS:
1. Dartmouth was only 20 miles from Joseph Smith's house, and there are many documented interactions with the college.
2. Joseph Smith Senior’s father had a cousin named John Smith, who was a professor of ancient languages at Dartmouth University, and wrote about Indian origins, and inhabited planets
3. Professor John Smith’s theological writings bear a strong resemblance to Mormon doctrines.
4. Professor John Smith had 2 famous students: Solomon Spalding, Ethan Smith
5. Ethan Smith wrote View of the Hebrews and was Oliver Cowdery’s Pastor.
6. Hyrum Smith attended Dartmouth prep school on campus at the same time that a relative was a tutor at Dartmouth.
7. The historical ties between Dartmouth college, Joseph Smith, his Uncle Professor John Smith, Solomon Spalding and Ethan Smith to the Book of Mormon cannot be coincidence
@@disciplesofjesuschrist2026 Would it bother you if the writings of Dartmouth Professor John Smith were shown to be the basis of the BOM?
The Mormon witnesses, except Martin Harris, were related by blood or marriage either to the Smiths or Whitmers. Oliver Cowdery, Hiram Page, and the five Whitmers were all related by marriage. Hyrum Smith, Samuel Smith, and Joseph Smith Sr. were Joseph’s brothers and father.
Mark Twain made light of this obvious problem:
"...I could not feel more satisfied and at rest if the entire Whitmer family had testified. (about the BOM)"
@@disciplesofjesuschrist2026 So you are confirming that the first 6 statements in my list are historically true, correct? You are just debating my assertion that it "could NOT be a coincidence" that there is a relationship between Dartmouth and Joseph Smith's BOM?
Meanwhile, you are saying that it is a total coincidence between any common themes/doctrines between the writings of Dartmouth and the BOM?
@@disciplesofjesuschrist2026 I am not clear on what you mean about "a false assumption". Could you expound more on how you view the common myth of Jospeh Smith's day, "that the American Indians were related to the Jews"? Yet, doesn't Joseph Smith state in many places, that the Indians were related to the Jews? Isn't Jospeh just seizing upon a myth in the creation of the BOM?
@@MaryLeonard-mj9ng the myth being the assumption that the Book of Mormon was plagerized from the writings of Solomon Spalding that so many adversaries of the church promote because Mr Spalding was a contemporary of Joseph Smith thereby the false assumption that Spaldings writings influenced JosephSmiths translation of the Book of Mormon
I thought you said you were going to shorten the episodes? You’re up to four hours for this week doesn’t look like much is changed other than there’s less scriptures and more talk but I do appreciate what you do.
I'm having trouble understanding you lately. 😢
have you prayed about it is it going to fast you may need to ponder and re read ask god and listen i dont always understand it takes work but jared iis the most helpful teacher and opened my eyes and heart to so many things please do not give up
I reread and reread, then to find out how much little details I miss, and personal current analogies that others perceive: constantly being made....constant learning. Precept upon precepts. The ancients to the present , to future events.
Nephi seems to have been a smithy
I really love and appreciate your channel and your knowledge, but I'm sorry, these get way too long and I lose interest.
I live what you say Brother Halverson, however I quit listening to you because you take toooo Looong to cover your lessons, I am out for good.
When Jesus taught online..er'...I mean in the synagogues to the multitudes, He said - "These things said He in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. ( He had much to say, and anyone who has the Spirit are not time deficient but are eager to hear living words that draws each one towards salvation and eternal life
Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard [this], said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it.
When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
They are long, but I realized, in my personal experience, that I learned so much from what I did listen to that it was still worth my effort even when I didn’t manage to finish. At first I was focused on finishing and tried to find something else that fit my schedule better. But he is the perfect teacher for my learning style and even if I only manage to listen to part 1 some weeks (or even part of part 1) I still learn so much because it is less about content and more about parallels, patterns and connections. And that it how I need to see things. Please don’t put learning into an all or nothing category we learn line upon line, here a little and there a little and every gram of knowledge we gain is still progress.
You will be back
