I am not a very worthy member, watching/listening/learning from You two Brethren has Blessed me, encouraged me to repent and be better. May God Bless You, and Your Families for Your service. Thank You, Thank You
Brother's Tyler and Taylor. I'm Grateful for all the excellent lessons that each of you teach us every week. I Love the sweet and smart way you teach . Both are Happy and Humble . Congratulations with all the Spiritual Gifts that both are Bless with. Thank You very much for your sacrifice for us.
I am so grateful that I went back to listen to this lesson even though I was pretty sure I had already. There are points made that I don't recall ever hearing before that really empowered me. Thank you so much for your inspired insights! They strengthen me daily.
Some of are fearful bcuz we haven’t gained our faith yet and that is OK too. At least we are trying. Thank you for you thoughts and time and faith and knowledge. ❤❤
I am a relatively new member and really appreciate the way you teach! It really helps me to learn and THINK about what I am learning. Thought I better qualify my last comment lest you think I was trying to argue. I was just sharing my thoughts back to you.
This lesson, dealing with scriptures that I’ve read many times, is particularly meaningful to me currently; an explanation of my current life experiences. Thank you so much. I’m trying diligently to hold on to that rod in this difficult time of my life.
This was beautiful so very grateful for all the excellent lesson you teach us every week very simple way you teach and explain in detail l love thank you , your great love for our Savior Jesus Christ very uplifting Brother Taylor and Tyler
Thank you for such a beautiful presentation. I just love the profound insights. I love the vision of the Tree of Life. I believe this vision was meant for all of God's children. I especially love what was said about the dark and dreary wilderness. I love how Bro Griffin said it's a neutral space. I too see it as a crossroads of sorts. I have come to know the Savior more during my time in the dark and dreary wilderness. I am sure I will be there again at some point in another season, however, I do feel that for each time I am in that place, it is an opportunity to learn something new, and even reinforce lessons learnt from other times I was there. The dark and dreary wilderness is a necessary part of Lehi's vision. It is here that I have come to know the depth of the Savior's love, and how far he will go and has gone for me. It's very personal. The scriptures talk about how the Lord supports his children from moment to moment. I know this to be true from my time spent in this space. There is value and progression in the dark and dreary wilderness. It is an opportunity to be close to God despite the uncertainty. This is just my take on it. I still have alot to learn about the vision. I think learning and understanding the vision could take a lifetime, only because there is so much to understand. God bless our wonderful teachers Bro Halverson and Bro Griffin, and God bless everyone at SC ❤️.
Excellent as always! You are my favorite LDS teachers. I believe both clinging and holding fast to the iron rod are appropriate descriptions on how to stay close to Jesus Christ and His words. When the floor falls out from under us, like when someone dies unexpectedly, or a child is abducted, clinging to the rod could mean how much we truly need God and His word. When we are about to give up, we need to cling to the teachings and doctrine of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, so as to keep going. Now, when life is going along with normal day-to-day issues, holding fast to the rod means, in one way, to be consistent and sincere in reading and studying and applying the word of God. Including during those moments in life when things are going fairly smoothly and perhaps we feel we don’t need God’s word as much. I absolutely love this lesson!
I love the vision of being yoked with Christ. He is truly our partner and does his part as we do our part. We work together to get where we need to be.
In my mind, if I know the ppl showing scorn are in the wrong, then the very fact that they disagree with me tells me I am doing right and take their scorn as a compliment instead of being ashamed.
It has been 4 years since I watched and studied this video, but it still is relevant to what I am experiencing right now. Thank you for sharing your insights Taylor and Tyler.
When climbers attempt Everest, they MUST hold the anchoring ropes. As they get higher (harder) they can only take one step at a time to keep going toward their goal (the top). I see many parallels between Lehi’s dream, T & T’s lesson and those Everest climbers.
I love the dictionary meaning of cling, to hold tight. Like cling wrap, a secure seal so it preserves the contents and it doesn't spill or spoil. I think if we consider the meaning of cling this way to hold tight to the iron rod we will be preserved and not be spoiled along the path even thru the darkness!
I needed this lesson today. I love how my challenges seem timed with scriptural readings and church lesson assignments. I was strengthened and inspired by both your testimonies today. I know this was produced four years ago, but it still had value for me NOW.
HOLD FAST is a classic tattoo across the fingers of British sailors from the days of wooden ships and iron men when clinging to ropes and sails dozens of feet above a pitching deck in deadly seas... a time to HOLD FAST because your life and the ship's mission depend on it
Thank you for the wonderfully inspiring presentation given on Lehi's Dream of the Tree of Life. As Taylor mentioned in Nephi's interactve/ instruction with angelic help, Nephi saw that those who continually held fast to the Iron Rod until they reached the tree of life and "came and fell down and partook." A sweet reminder entered my heart that all along the journey to the 'Tree of Life' and the 'Path' the 'Rod' represented the Savior. I pondered over the phrase, 'and they 'came forward' and 'fell down' and Partook' of the fruit of the Tree.. Did not the Son of God,( In my opinion; so well represented in both Lehi and Nephi's dream and vision) 'Came' to a Garden...'Fall Down' because of the enormous weight of the Atonement and 'Partook' finishing His preparations unto the children of men... Lehi and Nephi's experience became much more sacred than I could have possibly imagined. Thank you, Taylor and Tyler, for your preparation and inspired insights!
I'm quite new to the Book of Mormon Scripture and the Prophets of Mormon. However, I'm learning, and the dream that I see Nephi having of the river, is the Nile River. Perhaps the Grand Ethiopian Dam even. But Nephi was definitely seeing Africa, and the Promised Land. He's seeing Africa, the dark and dreary wilderness. Please don't think that Nephi was in America, that God wasn't showing him visions of the Promised Land, and visions of the New Jerusalem. I am a Prophet and Messenger of God. I pray that this revelation I shared is well received and pondered.
As far as clinging being fear driven, Bible says tht we are to Fear the Lord You God. I do understand what you are saying though contrasting us holding on. We are doing the action when we are holding on. There is a Christian song by Casting Crowns that says in part......paraphrased here, when times are tough, stop wasting your energy clinging to God, but rather let him hold you in his arms. Kind of like the footprints poem. When you look behind you and see only one set of footprints in the sand during your worst days, it's not that God left you, but rather carried you through. Just a thought
Aloha! I love the lineage of resources on the family proclamation and faith. Is there a list of each branch. It’s difficult to see off the TV screen. Please help. I want to deepen my study. Mahalo! Jan
At the end of the Podcast, there is mention of Gospel Explorer that has more insightful information. How or where do you access the Gospel Explorer? I am unable find a link to the Gospel Explorer.
I wonder why the fruit, that represents the love of god, is somehow presented as the end goal of a long and dreary journey. Aren’t we always supposed to be able to feel the love of god?
I wanna go with the Vanderhorst’s. 😊 Hey Tyler, I liked it better when the font size of the scripture referenced was the same size as the scripture text. Not sure if others care but I do. 😊
The man dressed in a white robe only turned a wilderness into a waste and darkness for many hours. Lehi by contrast beckoned his family to come to the tree and partake of the fruit. The man dressed in a white robe was evil.
I am not a very worthy member, watching/listening/learning from You two Brethren has Blessed me, encouraged me to repent and be better. May God Bless You, and Your Families for Your service. Thank You, Thank You
We're all not worthy. Grab hold of the rod!
It's a journey...and we are all learning.
My 17 yr old son listens to you both as he walks back and forth to and from school everyday. Thank you two. Great teaching and humility.
Brother's Tyler and Taylor. I'm Grateful for all the excellent lessons that each of you teach us every week. I Love the sweet and smart way you teach . Both are Happy and Humble . Congratulations with all the Spiritual Gifts that both are Bless with. Thank You very much for your sacrifice for us.
My goodness - the filthy river near the rod and path was a tender mercy. Never thought of it that way!
I love that.....The word is God and the Iron Rod being the word of God also means that Jesus Christ is the path
I am so grateful that I went back to listen to this lesson even though I was pretty sure I had already. There are points made that I don't recall ever hearing before that really empowered me. Thank you so much for your inspired insights! They strengthen me daily.

I really like Taylor telling us that the rod in Egyptian means the word. Thank you, Taylor.
This is beautiful thanks for such a fantastic lesson Taylor and Tyler!!!

Literally just had that conversation yesterday about looking back after the wilderness moments :)
Appreciate you both so much. Grateful.
I love the vision of being yoked with Christ. He is truly our partner and does his part as we do our part. We work together to get where we need to be.
WE NEED JESUS TO HELP OUR YOKE OF LIFE WE CANT DO IT ALONE BUT CAN WITH WALKING WITH GOD N HIS SON JESUS CHRIST
A wonderful lesson again! Thank you! I do pray that I might always be ready to take the next step, and hold on! ❤🇨🇦
In my mind, if I know the ppl showing scorn are in the wrong, then the very fact that they disagree with me tells me I am doing right and take their scorn as a compliment instead of being ashamed.
It might be a revisit for many but I started listening 3yrs ago, therefore new for me! ❤

HOLD FAST

Is the dark and dreary wilderness where Adam and Eve were sent …. Is it the telestial realm… earth ?
I wonder why the fruit, that represents the love of god, is somehow presented as the end goal of a long and dreary journey. Aren’t we always supposed to be able to feel the love of god?
I wanna go with the Vanderhorst’s. 😊

Dang Tyler and Taylor get to kick back this year since they already knocked out all these videos previously
Where did you get the picture of Christ at the end of him sitting by a lake in the mountains with the sun rising?
Adieu Adieu, wrote joseph smith jr in his fantasy book.
Homecoming , Welcome home
The man dressed in a white robe only turned a wilderness into a waste and darkness for many hours. Lehi by contrast beckoned his family to come to the tree and partake of the fruit. The man dressed in a white robe was evil.
