Brother Halverson you touch so many lives. We all are invested in you because we not only love your inspiring lessons but we love you too. Our prayers are with you and your family. Wishing you all health and the best as you obtain a well deserved PhD. Looking forward to feasting upon the scriptures with you soon.
I was so glad to see your lesson pop up. I was getting concerned that you might find that Unshaken was putting you into overload. I am grateful you and your family are all ok, but I was really missing your latest lesson. I’m 71, live alone, and yearn for good spiritual conversations that can inspire and motivate and feed my soul. Your weekly lessons are just the ticket, and believe me when I say that I listen to them several times each week. Thank you for all you do to make this podcast possible. 💝
Dear, dear brother H, I’m so glad to hear you’re ok! I was just praying for you tonight hoping you were alright and thought I’d check my phone before going to sleep and there was your new post! I am so grateful for all you sacrifice to produce these lessons for us! This series has been the best I’ve ever studied in the D&C and I have been richly blessed because of you and your efforts. I know you will be eternally blessed for what you are doing to help the Saints. I will continue to pray for you and your family, especially your daughter and for her continuing return to health. God bless you and your family and congratulations to your son for his call. Hurrah for Israel! Much love, Sister Robinson
1:12 to 1:25 "What is property unto me?" What a powerful response to the materialism that consumes the attention of our culture today! Thank you for spending so much time on this. I spent 30 years of my public practice of law, in part, helping people through divorce. It always amazed me when some people put their fight about "stuff" (yes, I used that technical legal term with my clients") above their concern for making sure that their children weren't harmed by their fighting. And I was also amazed when some very wise people gave up "stuff" quite willingly to keep the peace and preserve whatever relationship might exist between parents, so that the fight didn't escalate. And this is but one example of how the Babylon culture we live in can turn truth and priorities on their heads and get things so terribly wrong. Thank you again. This is a message we all need a constant reminder about. Yes, we need to be responsible. But if it really all belongs to the Lord, shouldn't we be more like prudent stewards than proud, covetous owners of a "drop in the bucket" of what the Lord can provide, if we serve Him well?
Congratulations to your sweet son and his calling. Many prayers and blessings for your dear daughter to have a full recovery. And blessed are you for loving all of us to still put these teachings and lessons out for us, may the Lord protect and watch over you and your family always. Love and Hugs. Sister Carter.
Thank you Brother Halverson. I am so grateful for your weekly insights that bless my life and strengthen my testimony. The artwork and photographs you add are so beautiful. I appreciate the extra time it takes to put it in. I especially appreciated the concept of our current state of morality being likened to basketball game without any hoops.
Dear Brother Halverson, We love and appreciate you for your diligence and steadfastness in preparing and sharing your amazing knowledge of the Gospel and the marvelous and ominous history of the early Restored Church and Saints, of which are many of our ancestors. You bring every thing you teach to life.
Your sacrifice is sacred, Jared. You are blessing the lives of tens of thousands of people each week, mine included. I'm so grateful for your choice to do this amidst your already time-stressed life. God bless you, brother Halverson.
Thank you for going the extra mile with us when you have had such a time. Grateful for the blessings you've had in your life and the blessings you give to us.
I was so worried about you, I knew you must have had a full plate . Bless your dear son , your sweet daughter, and you are amazing to post this after the week you have had . We love you and your podcast are the highlight of my week . May you be blessed to finish your PhD amid rave reviews. Your daughter to be healed completely, and you to be blessed with the spirit to continue to bless so many lives.
I add my gratitude for what you sacrifice; as one commenter said, a perfect object lesson of this week's content. You are making such a difference for so many, at no small cost. We see it and appreciate it more than you know. You are helping me learn how to approach the scriptures. I am thankful for your depth of understanding, which I know also came at a cost. Your example inspires me to seek to sacrifice more myself in the hopes of helping others. Our prayers are with you and your family!
Did we fully understand how bumpy this journey would be… how deep the drops and rocky the climbs might be? . . . Brother Halverson, I hope you can feel God’s love and strengthening power at this taxing and turbulent time. I am happy to add my prayers to this wonderful group of followers on your behalf! Hurrah for Israel!!
At the 34 minute mark where you were talking about why we need church! I literally just had a conversation with someone who was bashing president oaks talk about people leaving churches and you helped me with that conversation. Thank you! Sorry to hear about your struggles but keep sharing them so we know what to pray for when it comes to your family.
Dearest Bro. J. H. I’m hoping you can feel our prayers for you and your family. I’m so blessed to have this time to study with you each week which has blessed my life beyond measure! This is a great and treasured blessing to me. Thank you for your lessons each week and I appreciate all your hard work that goes into each lesson. Many prayers and gratitude!!!
Dearest Brother Halverson, there are no words to convey to you how deeply spiritually your lessons are touching my soul and how very, very blessed I feel by your sacrifice in time, in giving of your knowledge and insights, by your willingness to suffer lack of sleep and probably family life to bless ignorant saints - as I am trying to be a real saint. You are truly an unspeakable blessing, and you are truly sanctified by your unimaginable sacrifices and giving to the hungry in spirit. Beside all that, you are such a very, very gifted teacher with your talent to bring what you say and teach alive. May the Lord always bless you and keep you and your loved ones healthy and well!
We will add your daughter, your son and yourself to our family prayer roll. Sorry you have had such a difficult time lately. Can't tell you how grateful we all are for YOUR sacrifices to help us!! You're fabulous. Thank you.
Dear Brother H... your snorkel must be very long! But you look good. Thank you so much for the time and service you give so freely. I have been in so many hospitals and I know how uncomfortable these chairs are and how all over uncomfortable it is to sit beside a person that is in pain and not being able to take on a part of the pain. And how comforting it is for the person lying in bed to know that there is somebody keeping watch. Thank you for making the people involved in history come to life for me. Thank you for helping me to see a timeline. Thank you for not forgetting anybody...a very godlike attribute you have!! Your Swiss friend...
You have been in my prayers. Thank you so much for your sacrifice. I will continue to pray for you and your family. I can’t express enough my gratitude for all you do, for all you teach, for your expertise in sharing the gospel.
Dear Brother Halverson, there you are!!! We were worried about you!!!!!! You have been very missed. All last week long you and your family were in my prayers. So grateful to have you back! Thank you so much for all you do!!! Blessings to you and your family. I love learning from you!!! 🥰😇
Brother Halverson, my research on Olaha Shinehah: The word “Shinehah” appears in Abraham 3:13 as a word for the sun and “Olea” as a word for the moon. Janne M. Sjodahl and Hyrum M. Smith have speculated that “Olaha” might be a variant of “Olea.” If so, the plains of “Olaha Shinehah” would be the Plains of the Moon and the Sun. I too am grateful for your sacrifice in helping us grow closer to God. In challenging us to be better and live the Gospel to its fullest. Thank you again.
So very happy to hear you teach and grateful to Heavenly Father and the Savior for holding You, me and all alive this day for this last inning of this world's tellestial existence.
I have felt incredible happiness when I finally saw this week’s video posted. I was worried about you and had thought something must’ve happened within your family. Guess I wasn’t far off the mark. You are such an incredible gospel doctrine teacher and do so appreciate your faith, knowledge, and dedication to sharing your talents with the other Saints. It is my prayer that these lessons will continue throughout the Old and New Testament as well as any you may have missed from the Book of Mormon. May the Lord bless you and keep your family safe. And may He bless you with enough strength to keep you from drowning.
Dearest brother Jared: Thank you for coming to earth & for your great works in the name of Christ. Thank you for your humility & your willingness to add us to your load when your snorkel is nearly drowning you! I pray for you & your family members. You've impacted so many of mine but especially me. I'm curious...I couldn't help but hear a hidden sadness in the Prophet's voice as he bid us farewell, "Until we meet again." Did anyone feel thwart? I know great trials are before us & I believe he knows even as Nephi & Mormon knew. And although we will all have real reasons to feel terror, confusion & rage, all will be well if we sue for peace & forgive. (Though there are always times where the pistol helps the meek avoid harm & even pause a "mobber" from doing great evil while caught up in a temporary mob mentality). The times ahead are meant to fully change us into a Zion people. I KNOW that we will see the God of the impossible! After all, what has our version of reality ever done to inhibit Him revealing His Majesty & Might? He LOVES blowing our reality out of the water If we will but believe in Him & step out in faith. And that is what you've done all your life. So I know that God the Father is preparing you to fully realize the spiritual gills you've been breathing with all along. (So much for the snorkel! Lol.) I sincerely love & thank you. And please, thank your family for their sacrifice. Someday I hope to meet & thank you all in person. On this or the other side of the veil. 🙏💟😇 💗 Amy
Brother jared thank you for sacrificing your time and your gift as always to me, may the Lord bless you and your wonderful family you are always in my prayers for the support you give to all of us who have you in our lives each week blessing us x
Brother Jared you are an amazing teacher, your ability to connect the scriptures to every day life. Thank you for your sacrifice to share with us saints. Your knowledge and yet humble spirit is motivating and inspiring. May the Lord bless you and your sweet family.
So grateful for your spiritual insights to enlighten us. None of us understand the sacrifice to provide this for us. Thank you for being willing to do this for all of us. I know the Lord will bless you and that we will provide prayers in your behalf and on behalf of your family too. May the Lord Give You and Your Family the Strength to continue on with the faith of all of us at your side!
Jared another great job on this lesson looking forward to the next one. Excellent job. No wonder they call you a great teacher because you have the gifts.
Praying for you and your family! Thank you for sharing and for all your sacrifices to help us with your great life lessons!! These video lessons have so much history and back stories it is wonderful to hear about strong women in our history. Your hard work is appreciated. Hopefully you can get some power naps.
I have been watching your videos since you started them with the Book of Mormon. They have helped & encouraged me through some hard times. Thank you so much for your sacrifice of time and energy. You remind me of my own brother and I love you as such!
Elder Halverson, blessed art thou for the work you are doing to prepare us to remember the covenant we made at the waters of baptism , to carry a cross with Him. I really appreciate your dedication to God 's work. You are really gathering Israel. Congratulations to Elder Halverson Jr for his mission to be called to the vineyard. My prayers to you daughter and all your families.

Wow! I love how you marked this. Someone does that for the “Don’t miss this” CFM, they pin it to the top conversations. It’s so helpful! You up for the weekly job?
So grateful to see this! Thank you so much for your sacrifice for us! We KNOW that you don't need to do this, and are so grateful when you do! Sending love and prayers ❤️
Thank you Bro. Halverson. Our prayers are with you & your family. I drag my feet when studying what I would perhaps refer to as 'housekeeping sections' (apologies!), but I'm so grateful that you invite us to study along with you as you pick out the treasures, allowing the Spirit to then increase.
Dear Brother Jared, I want to thank you for all the time, effort, and sacrifice you give to produce these video casts. I listen regularly and am blessed immensely by your unique understanding and testimony of the scriptures. I will keep you and your family in prayer for the Lord's generous measure of health, strength, and prosperity to be yours. Also, that you will feel the power of the great light that you are to so many!
No problem Elder Halverson. You needed this extra time so we could watch all general conference sessions. Happiness to your son who will be a wonderful missionary. Blessings on your sweet daughter and her recovery. Get the needed rest so you will be able to teach all of us. 💕
Sacrifice will be more sacred when we experience it with intensity. Thank you for your dedication to help us with our personal study. As you were thinking of us in getting the lesson on time we were thinking of you and your family, sending you prayers for a good week. Congratulation to your son for starting a great mission already.
So humbly grateful for you and the sacrifices you make for us. I am struggling to keep up with you! I count on the boost to my spirit that your lessons provide. God bless you and your family!!!
Brother Halverson- just want you to know that I pray for you. I can’t tell you how your insights and spirit have influenced me and my husband. We look forward to seeing you every night!!! Thank you for all your sacrifice and for sharing your experiences with all of us. Keep your light shining, brother. We love you ( and don’t even know you, but feel like we do!)
Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. You have blessed ours so much. I’ve heard it said that all hell breaks loose when a temple is to be built. Your lessons are truly a conduit of light. I’m sure the adversary wants nothing more than to stop them. May you continue to be blessed with power from on high.
Hey Jared I appreciate your time into these lessons. I don't think I've missed one for almost a year now. Personally I think you should allow commercials because your time is valuable. I would have to pay for the same lesson you give if I went to BYU.
I like your tie. Looks new. Also thank you so much for taking time out to do these videos. Thank your family too. You have been such a blessing to my life on scripture study and I have been able to teach wonderful gospel principals and teachings I have learned to all my kids. Thank you again for doing this. You are amazing! I really appreciate your dedication and wealth of knowledge.
Thank you so much for your dedicated service. For the first time in my life I can say I LOVE the doctrine and covenants. I'm grateful for your sacrifice.
Dear brother Jared, oro a nuestro Padre Celestial por Ud. y su familia. Gracias por compartir su don con nosotros y ayudarnos a entender y comprender mejor la Doctrina de nuestra Iglesia. Dios lo bendiga.
I was worried about you! I am happy for your son and his mission service. I am so sorry about your daughter! That is an extraordinary amount of time to spend in the ER. I hope she will recover. I hope you will find a bit of a break so you can regroup. I love your lessons and do appreciate how they bless my life. Thank you! Sending prayers for your family.
Thank you brother Jared for your Insight and teaching abilities! I'm very grateful for technology today, so we can enjoy the gospel lessons at home. I wonder sometimes if this technology was enjoyed in the 1800 Dearing Joseph Smith trying to put the gospel together, instead of walking and teaching . I know our Lord Jesus Christ knew exactly what he was doing and the time to put all this together for his people. If I didn't have a automobile to go to church I would have to leave three days earlier to make it to church on time and three days back home here in Texas. I have stopped watching television for ten years or so. That has pulled me away from Babylon and spend more time searching the scriptures and enjoy come follow me lessons with so many other church-related talks all in the name of Jesus Christ. So many have turned off their televisions and went to work in the Lord's Vineyard. Thank you for your time and effort you spend with us each week. It is a blessing to feel the spirit in my home a lot more than before. God bless you and your family and all those who help putting this program together. All of this helps the Light of Christ shine upon all of us and bring much more joy to our lives and our understanding!
Jared you are AWSOME! These videos are a great help with the Scriptures. You are a great teacher. Thank you for Your time and effort doing these videos. I’m glad you are my brother in the Lord.
Thank you so much for all the sacrificing you do to teach us. You give up so much time with your family on behave of us and others to teach us the gospel so we can understand and live the gospel better.We are so grateful for you and hope and pray that your family will be ok in your absence. Hope your daughter is doing well and may the Lord,s choicest blessings be upon all of you. We love you and hope that you will have the stamina to continue.
I'm so happy to have each of your videos We have much to cover and your not behind,we are covering this until this coming Saturday. We have a light cover of it on Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. Alabama I love these historical facts you put in We need to know them. I love you and your family Prayers for you and your family 🙏
Thank you for your hard work, all the interesting stories, your spirit filled approach to teaching, and especially for the podcasts (I'm able to listen during my long commutes to/from work)!
I am so glad to hear you are ok... I was worried something had happened..and sure enough..you were busy. I hope your daughter is doing better We appreciate your dedication and will be praying for your family
Congratulations to your Son who is already serving the Lord and his fellow men and women! Prayers for whoever is in the hospital recovering. 🙏❤️🕊️ I've been a patient myself and believe me, the chairs and (especially for me) the Beds are NOT comfortable! So I hear you! 😏👍 Thank you for this review! I'll have to check out your other videos! 😊👍❤️
Appreciate all you do. Please take good care of your health. You are more important than delivering your lecture on time. Congratulations on your son’s mission call. He will be great!!!! Son likes his father!
24:00 We are not meant to bear the name of Mormon, we were meant to bear the name of Christ. I am grateful that this has been emphasized so much in the latter days. It's too bad it took so long to get there but better late than never.
Brother Halverson, your knowledge of the Doctrine and Covenants is impressive!Thanks for sharing with us each week as my testimony always grows stonger and I'm motivated to shine my light brighter. You are spot on, we are the standard to the world!
I am just so grateful that you are alright, dear bro. Halverson! I prayed personally for you as the week went on longer and longer without anything new posted on unshaken. I took to looking just about hourly 🤔….and truly I missed your edifying message ….hoping so earnestly that you would be able to continue again. 🙏. Thank you for sharing your amazing insights and love with us all again! And I hope your daughter’s recovery continues to be a speedy one. Your son’s mission call is very exciting indeed.
My wife and I fell behind in the last couple lessons (from Sec 109) and ended up doing a marathon study session spread over two days to catch up (end of Sec 114). We finished on Friday afternoon went to a movie to relax and upon returning home we’re thrilled to see you had posted this weeks lesson. We jumped into it early the next morning. We love what you’re doing, and give a big “THANK YOU” to you and your family, for all your sacrifices for us. It can not be said in words how much our souls have grown because of your insights, hard work and love of the gospel. This lesson was filled with plenty of “A-ha” moments; the importance of names, the meaning of Adam-Ondi-Ahman, Sec 117. Vs 4-8, The Law of Tithing and The Law of Consecration. Best of all your heart-filled, spiritual testimony at the end of your lessons.
Wow! Just Wow! Truly this is a deep dive into these sections. The history and deeper meaning of each verse and even individual words revealed by this very knowledgeable brother is amazing. It's as if I were sitting at the feet of the Savior with the underlying truths I'm getting. 2 1/2 hours seems overly lengthy at first glance but an hour in and I'm wondering if that will be enough time.
Brother Halverson you touch so many lives. We all are invested in you because we not only love your inspiring lessons but we love you too. Our prayers are with you and your family. Wishing you all health and the best as you obtain a well deserved PhD. Looking forward to feasting upon the scriptures with you soon.
Thank you for all you sacrifice in our behalf. I was sorry to hear about your daughter. I'm praying for her and you. 💕
I'm so grateful to sit at your feet as your teach us so deeply and so sweetly! 🤗
Glad to witness your UNSHAKEN spiritual nature has prevailed thro intense challenges. God keep you. I enjoy to feast on you weekly message.
I was so glad to see your lesson pop up. I was getting concerned that you might find that Unshaken was putting you into overload. I am grateful you and your family are all ok, but I was really missing your latest lesson. I’m 71, live alone, and yearn for good spiritual conversations that can inspire and motivate and feed my soul. Your weekly lessons are just the ticket, and believe me when I say that I listen to them several times each week. Thank you for all you do to make this podcast possible. 💝
Dear, dear brother H, I’m so glad to hear you’re ok! I was just praying for you tonight hoping you were alright and thought I’d check my phone before going to sleep and there was your new post! I am so grateful for all you sacrifice to produce these lessons for us! This series has been the best I’ve ever studied in the D&C and I have been richly blessed because of you and your efforts. I know you will be eternally blessed for what you are doing to help the Saints. I will continue to pray for you and your family, especially your daughter and for her continuing return to health. God bless you and your family and congratulations to your son for his call. Hurrah for Israel! Much love, Sister Robinson
AMEN and AMEN!

Thank you, Brother Halverson, for living your life in harmony with what you just taught in these sections.
Your family always comes first. Please take care. We love you for your teaching with the Spirit.
Thank-you Brother Halverson.
Thank you so much for this. It has caused me to think more deeply about my temple covenants and my commitment to Christ. There is always more to give.
Jared, Alexander McRae is my great-great grandfather so I have always loved this family story.
1:12 to 1:25 "What is property unto me?" What a powerful response to the materialism that consumes the attention of our culture today! Thank you for spending so much time on this. I spent 30 years of my public practice of law, in part, helping people through divorce. It always amazed me when some people put their fight about "stuff" (yes, I used that technical legal term with my clients") above their concern for making sure that their children weren't harmed by their fighting. And I was also amazed when some very wise people gave up "stuff" quite willingly to keep the peace and preserve whatever relationship might exist between parents, so that the fight didn't escalate. And this is but one example of how the Babylon culture we live in can turn truth and priorities on their heads and get things so terribly wrong. Thank you again. This is a message we all need a constant reminder about. Yes, we need to be responsible. But if it really all belongs to the Lord, shouldn't we be more like prudent stewards than proud, covetous owners of a "drop in the bucket" of what the Lord can provide, if we serve Him well?
Congratulations to your sweet son and his calling. Many prayers and blessings for your dear daughter to have a full recovery. And blessed are you for loving all of us to still put these teachings and lessons out for us, may the Lord protect and watch over you and your family always. Love and Hugs. Sister Carter.
Thank you Brother Halverson. I am so grateful for your weekly insights that bless my life and strengthen my testimony. The artwork and photographs you add are so beautiful. I appreciate the extra time it takes to put it in. I especially appreciated the concept of our current state of morality being likened to basketball game without any hoops.
Great lesson man. Great way to spend my Sunday.
Dear Brother Halverson, We love and appreciate you for your diligence and steadfastness in preparing and sharing your amazing knowledge of the Gospel and the marvelous and ominous history of the early Restored Church and Saints, of which are many of our ancestors. You bring every thing you teach to life.
I loved hearing that we need to let the Sabbath Day make US holy. Really awesome thought
Your sacrifice is sacred, Jared. You are blessing the lives of tens of thousands of people each week, mine included. I'm so grateful for your choice to do this amidst your already time-stressed life. God bless you, brother Halverson.
Thank you for going the extra mile with us when you have had such a time. Grateful for the blessings you've had in your life and the blessings you give to us.
I was so worried about you, I knew you must have had a full plate . Bless your dear son , your sweet daughter, and you are amazing to post this after the week you have had . We love you and your podcast are the highlight of my week . May you be blessed to finish your PhD amid rave reviews. Your daughter to be healed completely, and you to be blessed with the spirit to continue to bless so many lives.
Thank you so much for showing up for us this week even when you are so so busy!!!! Glad your daughter is OK now. Bless you and thank you so much!!!!
I add my gratitude for what you sacrifice; as one commenter said, a perfect object lesson of this week's content. You are making such a difference for so many, at no small cost. We see it and appreciate it more than you know. You are helping me learn how to approach the scriptures. I am thankful for your depth of understanding, which I know also came at a cost. Your example inspires me to seek to sacrifice more myself in the hopes of helping others. Our prayers are with you and your family!
Did we fully understand how bumpy this journey would be… how deep the drops and rocky the climbs might be? . . . Brother Halverson, I hope you can feel God’s love and strengthening power at this taxing and turbulent time. I am happy to add my prayers to this wonderful group of followers on your behalf! Hurrah for Israel!!
At the 34 minute mark where you were talking about why we need church! I literally just had a conversation with someone who was bashing president oaks talk about people leaving churches and you helped me with that conversation. Thank you! Sorry to hear about your struggles but keep sharing them so we know what to pray for when it comes to your family.
Dearest Bro. J. H. I’m hoping you can feel our prayers for you and your family. I’m so blessed to have this time to study with you each week which has blessed my life beyond measure! This is a great and treasured blessing to me. Thank you for your lessons each week and I appreciate all your hard work that goes into each lesson. Many prayers and gratitude!!!
Eunice is my 4x great grandma! I didn't know about that painting, so thank you for sharing!
That is awesome, Heather! Did you know that story?
I did know the story! Though this is the first time I'd heard it confirmed.
Dearest Brother Halverson, there are no words to convey to you how deeply spiritually your lessons are touching my soul and how very, very blessed I feel by your sacrifice in time, in giving of your knowledge and insights, by your willingness to suffer lack of sleep and probably family life to bless ignorant saints - as I am trying to be a real saint. You are truly an unspeakable blessing, and you are truly sanctified by your unimaginable sacrifices and giving to the hungry in spirit. Beside all that, you are such a very, very gifted teacher with your talent to bring what you say and teach alive. May the Lord always bless you and keep you and your loved ones healthy and well!
We will add your daughter, your son and yourself to our family prayer roll. Sorry you have had such a difficult time lately. Can't tell you how grateful we all are for YOUR sacrifices to help us!! You're fabulous. Thank you.
Dear Brother H... your snorkel must be very long! But you look good. Thank you so much for the time and service you give so freely. I have been in so many hospitals and I know how uncomfortable these chairs are and how all over uncomfortable it is to sit beside a person that is in pain and not being able to take on a part of the pain. And how comforting it is for the person lying in bed to know that there is somebody keeping watch. Thank you for making the people involved in history come to life for me. Thank you for helping me to see a timeline. Thank you for not forgetting anybody...a very godlike attribute you have!! Your Swiss friend...
Brother Jared…my prayers are with you and your family…your faithful dedication to the Lords truth is very humbling ❤️
You have been in my prayers. Thank you so much for your sacrifice. I will continue to pray for you and your family. I can’t express enough my gratitude for all you do, for all you teach, for your expertise in sharing the gospel.
Thank you for your sacrifice in our (and ultimately the Lords) behalf. We all, and I know He, appreciates it.
Dear Brother Halverson, there you are!!! We were worried about you!!!!!! You have been very missed. All last week long you and your family were in my prayers. So grateful to have you back! Thank you so much for all you do!!! Blessings to you and your family. I love learning from you!!! 🥰😇
Brother Halverson, my research on Olaha Shinehah: The word “Shinehah” appears in Abraham 3:13 as a word for the sun and “Olea” as a word for the moon. Janne M. Sjodahl and Hyrum M. Smith have speculated that “Olaha” might be a variant of “Olea.” If so, the plains of “Olaha Shinehah” would be the Plains of the Moon and the Sun.
I too am grateful for your sacrifice in helping us grow closer to God. In challenging us to be better and live the Gospel to its fullest. Thank you again.
So very happy to hear you teach and grateful to Heavenly Father and the Savior for holding You, me and all alive this day for this last inning of this world's tellestial existence.
Thank you for all your efforts to teach us. We all have life happen, prayers for you and your family.
I have felt incredible happiness when I finally saw this week’s video posted. I was worried about you and had thought something must’ve happened within your family. Guess I wasn’t far off the mark. You are such an incredible gospel doctrine teacher and do so appreciate your faith, knowledge, and dedication to sharing your talents with the other Saints. It is my prayer that these lessons will continue throughout the Old and New Testament as well as any you may have missed from the Book of Mormon. May the Lord bless you and keep your family safe. And may He bless you with enough strength to keep you from drowning.
I love the idea of the name of the church after father and mother! Beautiful!
Dearest brother Jared: Thank you for coming to earth & for your great works in the name of Christ. Thank you for your humility & your willingness to add us to your load when your snorkel is nearly drowning you! I pray for you & your family members. You've impacted so many of mine but especially me.
I'm curious...I couldn't help but hear a hidden sadness in the Prophet's voice as he bid us farewell, "Until we meet again."
Did anyone feel thwart?
I know great trials are before us & I believe he knows even as Nephi & Mormon knew.
And although we will all have real reasons to feel terror, confusion & rage, all will be well if we sue for peace & forgive. (Though there are always times where the pistol helps the meek avoid harm & even pause a "mobber" from doing great evil while caught up in a temporary mob mentality).
The times ahead are meant to fully change us into a Zion people. I KNOW that we will see the God of the impossible!
After all, what has our version of reality ever done to inhibit Him revealing His Majesty & Might? He LOVES blowing our reality out of the water If we will but believe in Him & step out in faith.
And that is what you've done all your life. So I know that God the Father is preparing you to fully realize the spiritual gills you've been breathing with all along. (So much for the snorkel! Lol.)
I sincerely love & thank you. And please, thank your family for their sacrifice. Someday I hope to meet & thank you all in person. On this or the other side of the veil. 🙏💟😇
💗 Amy
Spiritual gills! I love it!
Brother jared thank you for sacrificing your time and your gift as always to me, may the Lord bless you and your wonderful family you are always in my prayers for the support you give to all of us who have you in our lives each week blessing us x
Brother Jared you are an amazing teacher, your ability to connect the scriptures to every day life. Thank you for your sacrifice to share with us saints. Your knowledge and yet humble spirit is motivating and inspiring. May the Lord bless you and your sweet family.
So grateful for your spiritual insights to enlighten us. None of us understand the sacrifice to provide this for us. Thank you for being willing to do this for all of us. I know the Lord will bless you and that we will provide prayers in your behalf and on behalf of your family too. May the Lord Give You and Your Family the Strength to continue on with the faith of all of us at your side!

Jared another great job on this lesson looking forward to the next one. Excellent job. No wonder they call you a great teacher because you have the gifts.
Praying for you and your family! Thank you for sharing and for all your sacrifices to help us with your great life lessons!! These video lessons have so much history and back stories it is wonderful to hear about strong women in our history. Your hard work is appreciated. Hopefully you can get some power naps.
Yours is my favorite podcast thank you
I have been watching your videos since you started them with the Book of Mormon. They have helped & encouraged me through some hard times. Thank you so much for your sacrifice of time and energy. You remind me of my own brother and I love you as such!
Thank you for your sacrifice on our behalf. You are kept in my prayers!
Elder Halverson, blessed art thou for the work you are doing to prepare us to remember the covenant we made at the waters of baptism , to carry a cross with Him. I really appreciate your dedication to God 's work.

Thanks for your efforts in making this!
Dear Sister -- thank you for doing this! You are consecrating your time and talents, just as dear Bro. Halverson does!
Thank you Mariah Honda. This is super helpful!
Wow! I love how you marked this. Someone does that for the “Don’t miss this” CFM, they pin it to the top conversations. It’s so helpful! You up for the weekly job?
So grateful to see this! Thank you so much for your sacrifice for us! We KNOW that you don't need to do this, and are so grateful when you do! Sending love and prayers ❤️
Thank you Bro. Halverson. Our prayers are with you & your family.
I drag my feet when studying what I would perhaps refer to as 'housekeeping sections' (apologies!), but I'm so grateful that you invite us to study along with you as you pick out the treasures, allowing the Spirit to then increase.
Dear Brother Jared, I want to thank you for all the time, effort, and sacrifice you give to produce these video casts. I listen regularly and am blessed immensely by your unique understanding and testimony of the scriptures. I will keep you and your family in prayer for the Lord's generous measure of health, strength, and prosperity to be yours. Also, that you will feel the power of the great light that you are to so many!
“You've had your fun.” That phrase has new meaning with this story. She was right to do what she did!
No problem Elder Halverson. You needed this extra time so we could watch all general conference sessions. Happiness to your son who will be a wonderful missionary. Blessings on your sweet daughter and her recovery. Get the needed rest so you will be able to teach all of us. 💕
Sacrifice will be more sacred when we experience it with intensity. Thank you for your dedication to help us with our personal study. As you were thinking of us in getting the lesson on time we were thinking of you and your family, sending you prayers for a good week. Congratulation to your son for starting a great mission already.
Oh man! I love the story of verse 5 and how it was fulfilled!! Yes it would make a great movie!!
So humbly grateful for you and the sacrifices you make for us. I am struggling to keep up with you! I count on the boost to my spirit that your lessons provide. God bless you and your family!!!
Brother Halverson- just want you to know that I pray for you. I can’t tell you how your insights and spirit have influenced me and my husband. We look forward to seeing you every night!!! Thank you for all your sacrifice and for sharing your experiences with all of us. Keep your light shining, brother. We love you ( and don’t even know you, but feel like we do!)
Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. You have blessed ours so much. I’ve heard it said that all hell breaks loose when a temple is to be built. Your lessons are truly a conduit of light. I’m sure the adversary wants nothing more than to stop them. May you continue to be blessed with power from on high.
I truly admire you brother. I hope you know how much we appreciate you teaching us.
Hey Jared I appreciate your time into these lessons. I don't think I've missed one for almost a year now. Personally I think you should allow commercials because your time is valuable. I would have to pay for the same lesson you give if I went to BYU.
Congratulations for the strength that you have to work on the completion of your dissertation. Thank you also for the sacrifice to teach.
I like your tie. Looks new. Also thank you so much for taking time out to do these videos. Thank your family too. You have been such a blessing to my life on scripture study and I have been able to teach wonderful gospel principals and teachings I have learned to all my kids. Thank you again for doing this. You are amazing! I really appreciate your dedication and wealth of knowledge.
Thank you so much for your dedicated service. For the first time in my life I can say I LOVE the doctrine and covenants. I'm grateful for your sacrifice.
Dear brother Jared, oro a nuestro Padre Celestial por Ud. y su familia. Gracias por compartir su don con nosotros y ayudarnos a entender y comprender mejor la Doctrina de nuestra Iglesia. Dios lo bendiga.
I’m so glad you are back. I afraid you are unable to share the gospel. You are so good what you’re doing and so inspiring me each week. 😍👏
God bless you and your family for the time and testimony you share with us each week.
You are just amazing may Heavenly father bless you in all that you do, and thank you so much for the lessons.
I was worried about you! I am happy for your son and his mission service. I am so sorry about your daughter! That is an extraordinary amount of time to spend in the ER. I hope she will recover. I hope you will find a bit of a break so you can regroup. I love your lessons and do appreciate how they bless my life. Thank you! Sending prayers for your family.
Thank you brother Jared for your Insight and teaching abilities! I'm very grateful for technology today, so we can enjoy the gospel lessons at home. I wonder sometimes if this technology was enjoyed in the 1800 Dearing Joseph Smith trying to put the gospel together, instead of walking and teaching . I know our Lord Jesus Christ knew exactly what he was doing and the time to put all this together for his people. If I didn't have a automobile to go to church I would have to leave three days earlier to make it to church on time and three days back home here in Texas. I have stopped watching television for ten years or so. That has pulled me away from Babylon and spend more time searching the scriptures and enjoy come follow me lessons with so many other church-related talks all in the name of Jesus Christ. So many have turned off their televisions and went to work in the Lord's Vineyard. Thank you for your time and effort you spend with us each week. It is a blessing to feel the spirit in my home a lot more than before. God bless you and your family and all those who help putting this program together. All of this helps the Light of Christ shine upon all of us and bring much more joy to our lives and our understanding!
This is the first time I’ve listened to you. Thanks for your insight and teaching the truth. I felt the Spirit testify of truth and I loved listening.
Thank you for all the time you spend creating this invaluable learning experience. Sending prayers for strength, healing, and comfort.
Thank you! Admire all you are doing and still able to help us learn scripture.
I am thankful that you are doing well.🙏🏽
With all your responsibilities and cares…thank you thank you for helping me too.
Yay. I am so glad you're here! I really appreciate the time you put into this study.
Jared you are AWSOME!
These videos are a great help with the Scriptures. You are a great teacher.
Thank you for Your time and effort doing these videos. I’m glad you are my brother in the Lord.
Thank you so much for all the sacrificing you do to teach us. You give up so much time with your family on behave of us and others to teach us the gospel so we can understand and live the gospel better.We are so grateful for you and hope and pray that your family will be ok in your absence. Hope your daughter is doing well and may the Lord,s choicest blessings be upon all of you. We love you and hope that you will have the stamina to continue.
I'm so happy to have each of your videos
We have much to cover and your not behind,we are covering this until this coming Saturday.

Thank you again for another fabulous lesson, my heart is full! I love the commando missionary image and making search history so exciting. God bless.
Thank you for your hard work, all the interesting stories, your spirit filled approach to teaching, and especially for the podcasts (I'm able to listen during my long commutes to/from work)!
Love you brother Halverson! Bless you and your family ❤️🙏
I am so glad to hear you are ok... I was worried something had happened..and sure enough..you were busy.
I hope your daughter is doing better
We appreciate your dedication and will be praying for your family
Congratulations to your Son who is already serving the Lord and his fellow men and women!
Prayers for whoever is in the hospital recovering. 🙏❤️🕊️
I've been a patient myself and believe me, the chairs and (especially for me) the Beds are NOT comfortable! So I hear you! 😏👍
Thank you for this review!
I'll have to check out your other videos! 😊👍❤️
Incredible lesson, thank you
So happy to see this ... thank you for your dedication!
Great suggestion for making these chapters a movie!
Praying for you, your daughter and your family.
Appreciate all you do. Please take good care of your health. You are more important than delivering your lecture on time. Congratulations on your son’s mission call. He will be great!!!! Son likes his father!
Thank you so much Bro. Halverson. God bless you..
D&C 115:5 gives new meaning to the adage “Rise and shine!”
24:00 We are not meant to bear the name of Mormon, we were meant to bear the name of Christ.
I am grateful that this has been emphasized so much in the latter days. It's too bad it took so long to get there but better late than never.
Boy do you have a lot going on in your life! Thanks so much for your weekly study! I love every minute of it.
Thank you for putting these together, we enjoy them so much.
Brother Halverson, your knowledge of the Doctrine and Covenants is impressive!Thanks for sharing with us each week as my testimony always grows stonger and I'm motivated to shine my light brighter. You are spot on, we are the standard to the world!
I am just so grateful that you are alright, dear bro. Halverson! I prayed personally for you as the week went on longer and longer without anything new posted on unshaken. I took to looking just about hourly 🤔….and truly I missed your edifying message ….hoping so earnestly that you would be able to continue again. 🙏. Thank you for sharing your amazing insights and love with us all again!
And I hope your daughter’s recovery continues to be a speedy one. Your son’s mission call is very exciting indeed.
My wife and I fell behind in the last couple lessons (from Sec 109) and ended up doing a marathon study session spread over two days to catch up (end of Sec 114). We finished on Friday afternoon went to a movie to relax and upon returning home we’re thrilled to see you had posted this weeks lesson. We jumped into it early the next morning. We love what you’re doing, and give a big “THANK YOU” to you and your family, for all your sacrifices for us. It can not be said in words how much our souls have grown because of your insights, hard work and love of the gospel.
This lesson was filled with plenty of “A-ha” moments; the importance of names, the meaning of Adam-Ondi-Ahman, Sec 117. Vs 4-8, The Law of Tithing and The Law of Consecration. Best of all your heart-filled, spiritual testimony at the end of your lessons.
I have never been to Adam Ondi Amon before, but I have always wanted to go there and even serve a mission there some day.
Bless you dear Brother Halverson. You are worth the weight.
Sorry wait.
Wow! Just Wow! Truly this is a deep dive into these sections. The history and deeper meaning of each verse and even individual words revealed by this very knowledgeable brother is amazing. It's as if I were sitting at the feet of the Savior with the underlying truths I'm getting. 2 1/2 hours seems overly lengthy at first glance but an hour in and I'm wondering if that will be enough time.
