I thank you both for sacrificing your time and efforts to bless so many of us. When I became a widow 2 years ago I decided I wanted to immerse myself in the scriptures and do everything I could to bring the Spirit into my heart and home. Come Follow Me is a Godsend to me. I listen to you first every week to help me understand the chapters or sections we are studying that week. I take notes. You have given me so many insights and inspiration for changes in my life. I thank Heavenly Father every night for all of you who sacrifice so much to teach us the doctrine of Jesus Christ and help us understand it in ways that change our lives, and hearts through our Savior and the Holy Ghost. May the Lord continue to bless you both and your wonderful guests.
I have some wayward children who are struggling at this time in their lives. Lately, I have been praying for their ancestors to reach out to them. Right now, they don’t care to listen to me, but I am hopeful that they will listen/feel those from the other side who are reaching out to them. This lesson, gave peace to my soul. Thank you.
Thank you so much for these wonderful lessons. I have learned more this past year than ever about the Doctrine and Covenants. Hope you continue with the Old Testament.
That class was just outstanding. It's really hard to express appreciation and gratitude to be a member of this church. My favorite part was the call to action: "If you want the angels to minister you, then do the genealogy and temple work"
I love Mary Jane! I have watched her in many of the BYU study videos in the last 3 years. I turn to these videos to help me prepare better Seminary lessons. Please, have her come more often. Thank you for all you guys do.
Thanks to Brother Griffin, Sister Mary Jane and brother Halverson for your lesson on these two sections of the Doctrine and Covenants. Outstanding, touching and amazing! May the Lord be with you always!
This lesson on the redemption of the dead brings so much love and hope into my life that I can't even post the words to explain my feelings about it. Mary Jane's testimony is one that I can relate to and I know that she has had dreams and visions relating to this section in her owe life. She speaks as one knowing the truth. Thank you for bringing her on and sharing her amazing knowledge and testimony. Know that you are loved and appreciated for this amazing site!
In Austria we are in the 5th lockdown in the last 2 years, due to Covid... meaning, that even church services could/can not be held. And when we can have services, then it’s mostly only the Sacrament meeting , often with only few members in the chapel and the others following the service via Zoom. Therefore I am so greatful I found your chanel on TH-cam, where I can hear lectures with clear background information from exzellent and spiritual teachers - about the historical situation, in which the prophecies were given. Thanks for offering this kind of insight, hope that it will be continued!!! Thanks for sharing your time and knowledge generously and inspired!
Praying for you all in Austria. Such an unsettling time we live in. Feeling blessed for the peace the gospel brings despite what is happening in the world.
I love this section and it brings me great joy and comfort knowing that my little grandson Bram, who died at four months old, will be in the Celestial Kingdom and I will see him again one day. I'm grateful for a loving Heavenly Father that loves us and gives us eternity together with our families, based on our faithfulness. I enjoyed your discussion on this section. Thank you.
I loved the comments from Mary Jane about our loved ones receiving a referral when we locate a deceased family members name! Wow! This resonated with me because I firmly believe my Dad is teaching his family (who I’m searching for here) the gospel in the world of spirits.
Thank you for your beautiful testimonies and teachings of this glorious doctrine. My sister once told me that as we find and do the work for our deceased ancestors, that we are building an army. I definitely need their help in these trying but exciting days.
Wonderful lesson on the dear Prophet Joseph F Smith! Sister Mary Jane Woodger is a great BYU professor, she's always got great insights, I remember from the old BYU discussion videos.
I love you guys great job.thank you for having a guest on your show program teachings . If you guys every do anything on missionary work I would love to be part of it. I served a mission in California. My mission president was Heartman Rector jr a convert to the church . I had polio when I was two years old. I have two full leg braces and crutches. To baptize I have to take off my braces lay down my crutches and crawl down into the baptismal fount set on a chair to baptize. I now have 9 children. I have ran a auction business tool business and a welding busines .I love the gospel of Christ and would love to share some of my experiences in teaching and baptizing. God is good God is kind .
Thank you so much for again a wonderful lesson! Taking time for pondering the scriptures, unlocks an amazing treasure of personal revelation and knowledge, of that I testify!🌷💖🌞
I absolutely love Mary Jane's input. I always get fired up when I see fellow sisters speak like that. She knows her stuff. You guys help me a lot when I teach Sunday School. I am so grateful to you guys.
A beautiful and wonderful lesson. Thank you for bring the scriptures alive for me. How can one not feel the love of our Heavenly Father and our Savior Jesus Christ when we listen to and study these 2 Chapters of the Doctrine and Covenants. I have come away from this lesson with a very full heart as I picture my ancestors on the other side of the veil waiting for and loving me. It has been a profound lesson. Thank you
I really enjoy this lesson. It will be so helpful when I teach the adult Sunday School class, tomorrow. I love all of your presentations. Thanks for all you do. I really appreciate it.
For those who might question if work for the dead is "forcing" people to become "Mormons," I find that Christ's atonement provides a superb example: Christ vicariously died for ALL mankind, yet He is not forcing anybody into heaven or to become a Christian. Every individual must accept Christ as their personal Savior. Similarly, every spirit may accept a vicarious ordinance. Nobody is being forced to become a member of the Church of Jesus Christ. The second estate extends from birth until resurrection, including the time spent in the spirit world. Agency was exercised in the first estate, and continues to be in effect in the second. We ultimately become exactly what we want to become, and go exactly were we want to go. Let us follow the example of the Savior and become saviors on Mt Zion. EVERYBODY needs the opportunity to choose Christ!
I am so grateful to all of you who have taught me about life after death. I had a child in 1970 who only lived 5 days. I did not fully understand about where she went after her death. I was unset with God for taking her. Over the years of learning about the next life, I am very grateful for those men and women who have taught me that I will see my daughter again and be able to raise her in the next live. But most of all I am grateful for a loving Heavenly Father, and a Savior who has made it possible to live after you die. Thank you Taylor and Tyler for your vast knowledge about the Doctrine and Covenants this year. Also I am very grateful for Joseph Smith and all of those early saints who by the was were some of my ancestors. Thanks again for teaching me about the next life.
I really felt the spirit as I listened to this explanation of Doctrine and Covenants sections 137 and 138. What glorious doctrine this is. Thank you for helping us understand it more fully.
Tyler Loved your comment about John the Baptist. If we knew all the things the John did in our premortal existence as well as the spirit world and beyond. This provides more meaning to me of Luke 7:28 "For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he"
Thank you!!! I noticed in reading through the comments how many women v men comment. That is not a judgment. Just an observation. My wife and I love these presentations and are so grateful for your efforts and the choices you have made in your lives to be able to teach and invite us to follow the Savior with more clarity. This year has brought Church History alive for me. I have gained an even deeper appreciation for the early members if the Church, their faith, trust and perseverance. Thank you, again.
I am teaching the Adult Sunday School class for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints this week so I am studying the scriptures and this video is on the topic that I am presenting for the congregation. I am blessed that we have such great resources.
What a beautiful lesson. Thank you Mary Jane your Spirit and testimony was so beautiful along with Taylor’s and Tyler’s! I can’t wait to ponder more during my scripture reading and life in general. ❤️❤️❤️
Very wonderful and powerful lesson. It made me cry knowing how the gospel of Jesus Christ has blessed me personally and all my loved ones on this earth and on the other side of the veil. Thank you very much for the very inspiring discussions.
Oh my word what a beautiful lesson. I love it when guest presenters join Bro Halverson and Bro Griffin. Mary Jane has added some amazing insight to this lesson. Whilst I am always happy with what I do know, I do get gentle reminders that there is still more to learn. Learning in the gospel, and learning from the spirit is exciting despite the complexity and volume. The teachings of the Prophets and the Scriptures really do give me something to look forward to when my time comes to leave this earth. It is so exciting to hear the words of Joseph F Smith about teaching the gospel to those in the spirit world. I love what Sister Mary Jane said about teaching the gospel to our families. Brother Griffin has inspired me to set a new years resolution for myself, and set aside time to study and ponder the teachings of our modern day Prophets. I don't know how I am going to do it, but I said the same thing about all the CFM lessons too, and so far I have kept up. I just think I am missing out by not making time to hear heavenly lessons. There is not alot I know of the modern day prophets and their teachings so I am really looking forward to studying their words. Gosh, there were just so many points that resonated with me. I love what Bro Griffin said about relying on the Lord first over technology and social media for answers. I have felt this myself, but now I am really going to be mindful and not put the transparent counsel of what is available before the Lord. There are times I have engaged in projects where I have followed instructions from a social media video. I would often run back to the phone to play out the next set of instructions or go back and replay, often times I have felt the gentle promptings to ask the Lord first. I love what Bro Halverson said about distraction and destruction. I also love what was said about the WW1 and WW2 casualties, and how the deaths of the Prophets occurred at a time when they would also be in Heaven to teach and comfort the dearly departed. The trials that Prophet Joseph F. Smith experienced as a child I think prepared him for his own future trials as difficult as that may be to understand. He dealt with huge world events in his time as Prophet. Watching these wonderful lessons always puts things into perspective for me. Thank you CFM❤️
I love these days that when a baby is premature, they call it ‘born sleeping’ & I love this wonderful doctrine that reminds us that the father in Heaven we worship is full of love and mercy and goodness, and seeks to bring ALL His children home to live with Him in the eternities. I could not worship a God who thought otherwise!
Thankyou so much for your lessons!!! I appreciate, so much, the insights and perspectives that come from those who present these lessons. This video, in particular, resonated profoundly with me. Sister Mary Jane's insights were particularly impactful. The service of Family History and Temple work constantly in my mind and soul and is a labor I have determined to dedicate the rest of my life to. When the mantel of the Spirit of Elijah falls upon you and settles within you, it's the only thing you want to spend time doing. I feel an urgency and pressing need to wear myself out in this service and know the Lord sees in it an expression of my love and gratitude to and for Him. I am grateful for each one of you at Book of Mormon Central. Thank you!!!!
Fear not about the technology of our time and the ability to carry the scriptures in our pocket. We also have the ability to carry so many amazing gospel focused discussions in our pockets such as your lessons. Pondering the scriptures and pondering about our lives and how the lessons of the past pertain to us individually absolutely happens with the scriptures, general conference talks, byu speeches, come follow me lessons and so much more in our back pockets.
That is a great reminder. I need to remember that when I’m having to sit and wait maybe at a business or whatever. I can pull out my phone and watch any of these. I feel more than ever before that they are literal spiritual food we need to fight against the adversary in our time.
Your lessons have been so powerful and engaging that it often feels like we’re listening to folks who literally stood at the side of our early Church founders and followers……..we all LOVE your presentations…..😊❤️
I have something to say about the blessings of our bodies. Yes our bodies get sick, get emotionally downtrodden, and ect, but the genius of our bodies is change and we can employ that change to whatever direction we choose. In effect force us to grow after we learn from our experiences. Remember that is our job here on earth to learn and grow and overcome the effects that we have from the fall of Adam and Eve. With the Blessings of Christ and his direction we can we can access the atonement and thus we can return to Father with knowledge and a body.
One of the best lessons you've done. Thank you and thank you to Mary Jane, please invite her back again. I too love genealogy and I felt the Spirit at her words. Thank you 😊
I love you help us with getting more insight, My Mother just love the fact that God wanted all to remain family and babies were saved. I'm sure she's busy with teaching at the very moment. Love the videos ❤️❤️❤️
Thanku for so much background information and your beautiful testimony and your love of truth and your time to share your knowledge. I love your gentle voice and how you include your personal testimony many times over Thanku so much ♥️🇦🇺
Thanks again T and T. Really felt my ancestors with me as we studied this lesson with you. 🏴🏴🏴God bless you from Wales. Diolch yn fawr.
Loved your thoughts and opinions of what happens right after we die:) I’m sure we get some time off to rest first too:) and I’m sure that includes checking up on family we left behind and spending time with family we have just rejoined :) Makes sense though:) death and birth are just parallel experiences and after we’re born we get some time to rest and get our bearings and adjust and spend time with those we love the most :)
Thank you for your insights this week. I have received the most personal revelation about things in my life when doing family history work. I love the concept of the referral card! I’ve studied and clung to these 2 sections of the Doctrine & Covenants since my son died by suicide 4 yrs ago. He was a US Marine and considered himself agnostic at times. Before he could receive the Melchizedek priesthood by proxy in the temple I can testify that he wasn’t ready before the year was up and he received his endowment. I also believe that during Christ’s visitation he wasn’t limited by our time on earth. I know that spirits don’t live by the law of gravity either, so by reason spirits don’t sleep.
Very illuminating lesson today. I had never thought about John the Baptist continuing the “forerunner” mission when he entered back into the other side of the veil. There were so many ah ha moments in today’s lesson.
This was a great episode. Thank you so much. What y'all shared about "time" on this Earth being different from the celestial realm or the spirit world, I want to testify that it's true. Being here on this Earth, we are subject to time and distance... These two laws don't exist on the other side of the vail.
Totally agree. We should not judge what amount of time Jesus spent in the spirit world using this realm understanding of time. It's incomprehensible for a mortal mind
I agree! I have always thought that the spiritual world is totally much faster than ours. And also, why we would have to wait one year to do proxy ordinances after someone dies?
Thank you for taking the time to share your great insights. Thank you Mary Jane for your depth of perception. All of you stirred my soul to press on and someday I look forward to meeting each of you in person.
I really enjoy the "classes" by Tyler and Taylor. I heard your comments about D&C 138 and the short time Jesus had between the Crucifiction and the Ressurection. I take the liberty to give my opinion. I don't think the time in the eternities is counted in seconds, hours, days months and years. I think in the eternities time is not counted at all. It can't be counted because everything is eternal, and eternal is not time🙂 So Jesus had enough "time" to minister hose few mortal hours.
Two things stood out this week, firstly how I see the gate through which we enter into eternal life. As you were saying how you see if Tyler, I was already saying "it is the arms of Jesus welcoming us", such a wonderful peaceful precept. The second is how Mary Jane talked of the canonising of this section; everything is done in the Lord's time and of course we had to wait until we had to tools to accomplish our family trees. Wonderful lesson as usual and most uplifting, so thank you.
Mary Ann your enthusiasm for this topic and these scriptures warmed my heart. Your background stories of these scriptures was invaluable to me. My interest in genealogical work in rekindled.
I love these lessons. One thing though. I served my mission on temple square. We taught plural marriage. I think we need to be corrected when we use the word poligamy. It’s not poligamy it’s plural marriage. When a member of the church uses poligamy instead of plural marriage makes me grinch. Right now poligamy is being practiced by the reformed church. We didn’t practice poligamy. We practiced plural marriage and only worthy members of the church were asked to practice this.
I appreciate so much your insights. Following your presentation this week I have been searching for sources about those with cognitive disabilities such that they cannot understand beyond that of a child. As I have a daughter in this category I have a special interest. I have been taught that she is in the category of those who die before reaching the age of accountability and will inherit the Celestial Kingdom. Do you know the source for this understanding? Thank you.
⭐QUESTION: I no longer have my church History books - will you PLEASE post the link to the reference where Joseph Smith Jr saw, in vision, the apostles praying (with the Savior in their midst but they didn't know it)?
Speaking of the Lord’s timing. I don’t believe it is coincidence that these precious scriptures were canonized in the year of our country’s 200th anniversary.
Taylor and Tyler, can you help me with finding the information about the garments and how, when and why? Mt husband is new to the church and I'd like to help him to understand but I can't because although I have a testimony about it, I don't know the great "Was. If you could point me to the right area, I'd be very grateful 🙏
I thank you both for sacrificing your time and efforts to bless so many of us. When I became a widow 2 years ago I decided I wanted to immerse myself in the scriptures and do everything I could to bring the Spirit into my heart and home. Come Follow Me is a Godsend to me. I listen to you first every week to help me understand the chapters or sections we are studying that week. I take notes. You have given me so many insights and inspiration for changes in my life. I thank Heavenly Father every night for all of you who sacrifice so much to teach us the doctrine of Jesus Christ and help us understand it in ways that change our lives, and hearts through our Savior and the Holy Ghost. May the Lord continue to bless you both and your wonderful guests.
I have some wayward children who are struggling at this time in their lives. Lately, I have been praying for their ancestors to reach out to them. Right now, they don’t care to listen to me, but I am hopeful that they will listen/feel those from the other side who are reaching out to them.
This lesson, gave peace to my soul.
Thank you.
They r fine. You r fine. Love ur life
Having had a stillborn daughter several years ago this section is so comforting to me.
Thank you so much for these wonderful lessons. I have learned more this past year than ever about the Doctrine and Covenants. Hope you continue with the Old Testament.
That class was just outstanding. It's really hard to express appreciation and gratitude to be a member of this church. My favorite part was the call to action: "If you want the angels to minister you, then do the genealogy and temple work"
I love Mary Jane! I have watched her in many of the BYU study videos in the last 3 years. I turn to these videos to help me prepare better Seminary lessons. Please, have her come more often. Thank you for all you guys do.
I am so heartened to see 'Insights' consistently getting over 100,000 views! Spreading the word.
Thank you so much, always enjoy your podcast. Especially enjoyed Mary Jane's comments and insight.
Thanks to Brother Griffin, Sister Mary Jane and brother Halverson for your lesson on these two sections of the Doctrine and Covenants. Outstanding, touching and amazing! May the Lord be with you always!

@@donettegibson thank you!!! It feels great to get support from „the opposite end of the world“ ! Best wishes vice versa!
I love this section and it brings me great joy and comfort knowing that my little grandson Bram, who died at four months old, will be in the Celestial Kingdom and I will see him again one day. I'm grateful for a loving Heavenly Father that loves us and gives us eternity together with our families, based on our faithfulness. I enjoyed your discussion on this section. Thank you.
Again, such beautiful added incite. Things I have never considered before even though I've read these verses many, many times. Thank you.
I loved the comments from Mary Jane about our loved ones receiving a referral when we locate a deceased family members name! Wow! This resonated with me because I firmly believe my Dad is teaching his family (who I’m searching for here) the gospel in the world of spirits.
Thank you to everyone, both front-end, and back-end helpers that produce such wonderful videos. truly these are treasures for all who are seeking.
Thank you for your beautiful testimonies and teachings of this glorious doctrine.
My sister once told me that as we find and do the work for our deceased ancestors, that we are building an army. I definitely need their help in these trying but exciting days.
Wonderful lesson on the dear Prophet Joseph F Smith! Sister Mary Jane Woodger is a great BYU professor, she's always got great insights, I remember from the old BYU discussion videos.

Thank you both for a fun year of in depth learning! My husband and I learned so much.
So grateful for these wonderful knowledgeable teachers. I am so blessed for their lessons
For those who might question if work for the dead is "forcing" people to become "Mormons," I find that Christ's atonement provides a superb example: Christ vicariously died for ALL mankind, yet He is not forcing anybody into heaven or to become a Christian. Every individual must accept Christ as their personal Savior. Similarly, every spirit may accept a vicarious ordinance. Nobody is being forced to become a member of the Church of Jesus Christ. The second estate extends from birth until resurrection, including the time spent in the spirit world. Agency was exercised in the first estate, and continues to be in effect in the second. We ultimately become exactly what we want to become, and go exactly were we want to go. Let us follow the example of the Savior and become saviors on Mt Zion. EVERYBODY needs the opportunity to choose Christ!
I am so grateful to all of you who have taught me about life after death. I had a child in 1970 who only lived 5 days. I did not fully understand about where she went after her death. I was unset with God for taking her. Over the years of learning about the next life, I am very grateful for those men and women who have taught me that I will see my daughter again and be able to raise her in the next live. But most of all I am grateful for a loving Heavenly Father, and a Savior who has made it possible to live after you die. Thank you Taylor and Tyler for your vast knowledge about the Doctrine and Covenants this year. Also I am very grateful for Joseph Smith and all of those early saints who by the was were some of my ancestors. Thanks again for teaching me about the next life.
Blessings to all .. its gonna be wonderful
I really felt the spirit as I listened to this explanation of Doctrine and Covenants sections 137 and 138. What glorious doctrine this is. Thank you for helping us understand it more fully.
Beautiful! 💛💛💛💛 thank you for your weekly lessons that bring so much light & spirit into our lives!
Tyler Loved your comment about John the Baptist. If we knew all the things the John did in our premortal existence as well as the spirit world and beyond. This provides more meaning to me of Luke 7:28 "For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he"
Wonderful Lesson! Love MaryJane's knowledge!❤
Thank you for an absolutely beautiful video this week. I watched it in increments and could feel the Spirit powerfully each time I was listening.
Thank you!!! I noticed in reading through the comments how many women v men comment. That is not a judgment. Just an observation. My wife and I love these presentations and are so grateful for your efforts and the choices you have made in your lives to be able to teach and invite us to follow the Savior with more clarity. This year has brought Church History alive for me. I have gained an even deeper appreciation for the early members if the Church, their faith, trust and perseverance. Thank you, again.
Mary Jane was GREAT addition to this discussion. Thank you.
I am teaching the Adult Sunday School class for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints this week so I am studying the scriptures and this video is on the topic that I am presenting for the congregation. I am blessed that we have such great resources.
What a beautiful lesson. Thank you Mary Jane your Spirit and testimony was so beautiful along with Taylor’s and Tyler’s! I can’t wait to ponder more during my scripture reading and life in general. ❤️❤️❤️
Very wonderful and powerful lesson. It made me cry knowing how the gospel of Jesus Christ has blessed me personally and all my loved ones on this earth and on the other side of the veil. Thank you very much for the very inspiring discussions.
Thank you. Mary Jane, I have really enjoyed your knowledge and spirit. I learn so much more in depth and it enhances reading the scriptures. 😉💛😇
Awesome! Mary Jane you are amazing. Taylor and Tyler, thanks so much for one more edifying experience.
What a wonderful lady, with great insights and testimony.

My sincere thanks to you, Mary Jane, for your testimony which echoes my own of Section 138.
Thank you both for your insights into Sections 137 & 138
Thank you for sharing this wonderful insight.
I love these days that when a baby is premature, they call it ‘born sleeping’ & I love this wonderful doctrine that reminds us that the father in Heaven we worship is full of love and mercy and goodness, and seeks to bring ALL His children home to live with Him in the eternities. I could not worship a God who thought otherwise!
What a lesson… no words. My favorite part is how you ended it. Greetings from Europe.
Thank you so much Mary! Your words ring true for me!!
These videos are so powerfully true, it’s incredible to hear this back and forth beautiful discussion of precious truths, so much insight! ❤️
What a great lesson! There is much food for thought there.
What a spiritual lesson!
Thankyou so much for your lessons!!! I appreciate, so much, the insights and perspectives that come from those who present these lessons. This video, in particular, resonated profoundly with me.

Your lessons have been so powerful and engaging that it often feels like we’re listening to folks who literally stood at the side of our early Church founders and followers……..we all LOVE your presentations…..😊❤️
I have something to say about the blessings of our bodies. Yes our bodies get sick, get emotionally downtrodden, and ect, but the genius of our bodies is change and we can employ that change to whatever direction we choose. In effect force us to grow after we learn from our experiences. Remember that is our job here on earth to learn and grow and overcome the effects that we have from the fall of Adam and Eve. With the Blessings of Christ and his direction we can we can access the atonement and thus we can return to Father with knowledge and a body.
One of the best lessons you've done. Thank you and thank you to Mary Jane, please invite her back again. I too love genealogy and I felt the Spirit at her words. Thank you 😊
I love you help us with getting more insight, My Mother just love the fact that God wanted all to remain family and babies were saved.
I'm sure she's busy with teaching at the very moment.
Love the videos ❤️❤️❤️
Wonderful lesson, as usual! Thank you all! ❤️🇨🇦
Thanku for so much background information and your beautiful testimony and your love of truth and your time to share your knowledge. I love your gentle voice and how you include your personal testimony many times over Thanku so much ♥️🇦🇺
Like a sweet symphony of truth to my soul
I learned a lot from this lesson!..... thank you and love you guys!...
Thanks again T and T. Really felt my ancestors with me as we studied this lesson with you.
🏴🏴🏴God bless you from Wales. Diolch yn fawr.
Loved your thoughts and opinions of what happens right after we die:) I’m sure we get some time off to rest first too:) and I’m sure that includes checking up on family we left behind and spending time with family we have just rejoined :)
Makes sense though:) death and birth are just parallel experiences and after we’re born we get some time to rest and get our bearings and adjust and spend time with those we love the most :)
MaryAnn is terrific. Thank you 🤍🤍🤍
I like to listen to several videos an podcasts of "Come Follow me" but I always start with your broadcast because I like the way you present.
Thank you for your insights this week. I have received the most personal revelation about things in my life when doing family history work. I love the concept of the referral card!
I’ve studied and clung to these 2 sections of the Doctrine & Covenants since my son died by suicide 4 yrs ago. He was a US Marine and considered himself agnostic at times. Before he could receive the Melchizedek priesthood by proxy in the temple I can testify that he wasn’t ready before the year was up and he received his endowment.
I also believe that during Christ’s visitation he wasn’t limited by our time on earth. I know that spirits don’t live by the law of gravity either, so by reason spirits don’t sleep.
Thank you and thank you again.
Very illuminating lesson today. I had never thought about John the Baptist continuing the “forerunner” mission when he entered back into the other side of the veil. There were so many ah ha moments in today’s lesson.
Thank You... I agree with all and bear my testimony too... this is so sacred ...
What A Powerful lesson!!! Thank you so much..
This was a great episode. Thank you so much. What y'all shared about "time" on this Earth being different from the celestial realm or the spirit world, I want to testify that it's true. Being here on this Earth, we are subject to time and distance... These two laws don't exist on the other side of the vail.
Ty soooo much and I could soo use angelic help xx
Totally agree. We should not judge what amount of time Jesus spent in the spirit world using this realm understanding of time. It's incomprehensible for a mortal mind
I agree! I have always thought that the spiritual world is totally much faster than ours. And also, why we would have to wait one year to do proxy ordinances after someone dies?
Outstanding! Thanks for your insights and teaching!
Excellent insights. Thank you!
This episode touched my ❤.
Thank you got what you do.
Outstanding as always!
Amazing class!!L can’t wait for next year Old Testament , you guys are awesome
Thank you for taking the time to share your great insights. Thank you Mary Jane for your depth of perception. All of you stirred my soul to press on and someday I look forward to meeting each of you in person.

Wow thank you, such beautiful insights 🙏
When the veil is opened we know eachother...I have seen it. We know our ETERNAL family members better than we know whom we think we know here.
AMEN 🙏 THAT IS BEAUTIFUL!
I thoroughly enjoyed this presentation and learned so much. Thank you!
I really enjoy the "classes" by Tyler and Taylor. I heard your comments about D&C 138 and the short time Jesus had between the Crucifiction and the Ressurection. I take the liberty to give my opinion. I don't think the time in the eternities is counted in seconds, hours, days months and years. I think in the eternities time is not counted at all. It can't be counted because everything is eternal, and eternal is not time🙂 So Jesus had enough "time" to minister hose few mortal hours.
I LOVE THIS EPISODE!!!
Two things stood out this week, firstly how I see the gate through which we enter into eternal life. As you were saying how you see if Tyler, I was already saying "it is the arms of Jesus welcoming us", such a wonderful peaceful precept. The second is how Mary Jane talked of the canonising of this section; everything is done in the Lord's time and of course we had to wait until we had to tools to accomplish our family trees. Wonderful lesson as usual and most uplifting, so thank you.
Wonderful episode!!
Very insightful!!!
Mary Ann your enthusiasm for this topic and these scriptures warmed my heart.
Your background stories of these scriptures was invaluable to me. My interest in genealogical work in rekindled.
Slowing down and focusing inward is what this whole pandemic has been about imo
I love these lessons. One thing though. I served my mission on temple square. We taught plural marriage. I think we need to be corrected when we use the word poligamy. It’s not poligamy it’s plural marriage. When a member of the church uses poligamy instead of plural marriage makes me grinch. Right now poligamy is being practiced by the reformed church. We didn’t practice poligamy. We practiced plural marriage and only worthy members of the church were asked to practice this.
I love Mary jane. Beautiful insights. I feel like I want her as my BFF.
Epic lesson
I want to hear more Mary Jane! I love her too insight.
I love your lessons so much. You bring out thoughts that I've not had. What is the music played at the end of this video? It brought me to tears.
Remember we knew all before we came to Earth. That is how he recognized them. ;)
I appreciate so much your insights. Following your presentation this week I have been searching for sources about those with cognitive disabilities such that they cannot understand beyond that of a child. As I have a daughter in this category I have a special interest. I have been taught that she is in the category of those who die before reaching the age of accountability and will inherit the Celestial Kingdom. Do you know the source for this understanding? Thank you.
⭐QUESTION:
I no longer have my church History books - will you PLEASE post the link to the reference where Joseph Smith Jr saw, in vision, the apostles praying (with the Savior in their midst but they didn't know it)?
Speaking of the Lord’s timing. I don’t believe it is coincidence that these precious scriptures were canonized in the year of our country’s 200th anniversary.
Taylor and Tyler, can you help me with finding the information about the garments and how, when and why? Mt husband is new to the church and I'd like to help him to understand but I can't because although I have a testimony about it, I don't know the great "Was. If you could point me to the right area, I'd be very grateful 🙏
There is one church member that died and in three days he was preaching the gospel.
Another fantastic video! Thank you
