Donnelly, ID. I was folding laundry during this the episode and I felt like Dr. Olson was talking directly to me. I have 4 little girls and a husband in the bishopric so life can get pretty stressful and busy. I often feel like I’m not doing all I need to do to make Heavenly Father and Jesus proud of me. I appreciate my now new perspective on grace and knowing that They are always proud of me and that I am doing good things, because of the grace of Christ. ❤
I keep watching this over and over. This was a big event in my life. Dear Camille helped me FINALLY to start to understand Isaiah.. which has brought so much more love for Isaiah and Joseph Smith as well!!! It has been a big!! Life changer for me. I shared it w many!! What a blessing 🙏
From São Paulo, Brazil! Thank you Hank , John and Camille! What a wonderful episode! I have listened to Follow Him weekly since D&C and it has been such a blessing to me and my family!
From Palmyra, NY I have always gritted my teeth when Isaiah comes around. This is the first time that I have not only understood but Enjoyed these scriptures, and Sis. Olson is the reason for this transformation. I remember watching her on the BYU BofM study round table. I FaceTime Come Follow Me with friends in Utah, and they will be very surprised at my "conversion". I turned them onto your podcast and we now listen to you exclusively. Thank you for your insights and great guests.
I've always enjoyed Sister Olson, her ability to make it crystal clear of what the Lord is trying to teach us is like manna from heaven. Thank you thank you!
Coos Bay Oregon!! Love listening and then going back to follow along in the “old-fashioned paper” scriptures! Thank you hosts and your wonderful guests!!!
Aloha! We're senior missionaries here in Okinawa and appreciate your studies and insights; we've listened to you folks for 4 years and love your preparation and happy presentations. Continue!
From Nashville, Tennessee. We were thrilled by this episode with Sister Olson. Our hearts were filled and our minds expanded. How humbled we were to have such a wonderful witness of our Savior’s ability to lift and save us. we are loving our study of the Book of Mormon with ya’ll!
For me, these Isaiah chapters" have always been a part to be “waded through, plodded through, just get through so you can get on with the rest of the story." And I felt the same way about all the teachings that Nephi gave as he concluded the “reading” of Isaiah’s words. But thanks to your podcast, I have understood these chapters a tiny bit better, and they are glorious, even in our limited understanding. Last night my husband and I read chapter 25 in 2 Nephi, and I understood more than I ever have before. It felt like an epiphany. Nephi wasn’t just writing a bunch of very long sentences; he was prophesying and testifying of the Savior. It was a real eyeopener. I am so thankful for this podcast. Thanks to you and your guests who help us understand so much more than ever before. And this week with Dr. Olson was just as wonderful.
Yakima, WA Hi Hank! Love hearing the insights of all of your guests! Camille did a great job and her material are incredible as well. Follow Him has helped me expand my study of the scriptures. Thank you so much! Tell Lisa “Hi”
Listening from Huntsville, Alabama. I loved this episode with Dr. Camille Olson! I appreciated all her insights about Isaiah and the historical references but the discussion towards the end about grace was the best part. Jesus is SO GOOD! I’m so grateful for His grace! And I’m grateful for y’all at Follow Him ❤
Louisville Kentucky. We (my husband and I) enjoy your podcast especially bc of the guests you invite as they have studied the language, history, geography, doctrines, etc concerning the scriptures. Thx you two do a wonderful job bringing the scriptures to life and meaning. How to understand, relate, and gain a testimony of these ancient prophets.
I am folding laundry and listening from Waikoloa Hawaii!! Thank you for all that you do! These episodes on the Isaiah chapters have helped me to finally understand a little of what the Lord is trying to teach us in these chapters.
From Port Coquitlam, BC I now have greater insight into Laman and Lemuel after listening to how close tge Assyrians got to Jerusalem. They truly did not believe that Jerusalem would be destroyed because it wasn't last time. Thank you@
I am a regular listener of your videos. I have found it interesting that when you introduce guests like today Camille F. Olson you went over her education but never said where she received her education. I noticed it when a few of your other guests that their education was described but not where they went to school. Yet with other guests you go into detail that they went to BYU for their BS MS and PHD. I am one of the 15 million people that didn't go to BYU and am interested in where these other people received their education. Thank you for bring all of these highly education scholar's
Thank you for this wonderful episod! I understand Isaiah so much better now, and I think I get the message (All woke up dead!). Listening from Lyon, France. We are talking about your podcast to all our French friends who can understand English and for those who don't, we have started our own podcast to spread the good news! Thank you for all your work! We love listening to you
You asked us to let us know where we are - I'm in Paradise Utah USA. And I wasn't folding laundry, I was playing solitaire. Thank you so much for your great conversations. Sister Olson, you have wonderful insights. This was a very enriching listen!
you gave a great response Dr Olson. I hope we'll all consider there's a little more to their question we may not be understanding so a little shift in the paradigm might help. President Nelson said repent in Greek is metanoeo, it means to change your heart mind and soul. Over and over the Book of Mormon prophets speak about conditions of repentance. So what people need to understand is we are no longer keeping the law under conditions of the law but under repentance. He allows us to practice for heaven. He allows us to learn heaven. That's what the atonement does is it frees us from the burdens of the law, and allows us to learn why the law is there and why God just wants us to come home.
Thanks so much for all the wonderful podcasts you share with us. I’d like to add a thought to Isaiah’s oft repeated phrase ‘but his hand is stretched out still’ which you covered in 2 Nep.19 (+15 & 20).The Book of Mormon says in a few places that this is a hand of mercy and not judgement as suggested. My refs are Jac.6:4-5, 5:47; 2Nep.28:32. I’m not trying to be controversial, but just love this message of patience and mercy.
From Cumming, GA. If the spiritual portion was missed due to distractions caused by human nature, at least we got a great business idea: Parley P. Pizza. A smart investor will open it right next to another successful business: W. W. Phennel Cakes.
I was reading Nibley today and te said the word “plan” is found 44 times in the Book of Mormon with 36 of them in Alma, and 2 times each in the Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price and no found in the Old or New Testament. Jut interesting!!
She's absolutely correct with all the context. I've searched this myself and came to the same conclusion. What's cool is then considering what the sons of Ammon taught the Lamanites. They taught them the creation, fall, and atonement. What else did they teach? A restoration of what really happened from Lehi and down to Nephi and Laman and the teachings of Nephi. So what did the Lamananite converts learn? What did they walk away with from this context of all we can do? Check out Alma 24:11 "behold... it has been all that we could do... to repent of all our sins... it was all we could do to repent sufficiently before God that he would take away our stain." So what did they understand? All they could do was repent before God and cease to continue in their sins. They didn't interpret it as they needed to work, the interpretation was to repent. So is that really different than what Protestants believe? Absolutely not! Also if you read all of that context of Nephi it actually sounds similar to Pauls speech from Romans 1-8. The two men are speaking to two different audience's. Paul to converts, Nephi to those not yet converted. You don't speak to the two audience's the same way. So comparing Ephesians and 2 Nephi doesn't make sense.
It is true that we can not save ourselves and that it is only the grace of Christ that saves us. But it is conditional. "After all we can do" or more clearly stated that it is conditional on repentance, which ultimately means obedience or turning away from sin. There is no measurement like 90% or 70% obedient. It is really about DESIRE to be faithful and obedient. (Where is your heart) The execution of that will look very different for each individual.
talking about the fruit trees and grafting.. what does it mean in jacob 5 the brances that do not bring forth good fruit are plucked off and burnt so that it wont 'cumber the ground of my vineyard'. Isn't deadfall healthy for the soil?
Not necessarily. If it is diseased, it can spread the disease. Branches can get in the way of the workers who are pruning and caring for the tree. In our day deadfall can be fuel for fires that burn down the forest.

Can anyone tell me the time stamp for "Assyrians invade Temple Square" like the thumbnail suggests?
Yes what does that mean ? Temple square ??
27:19 Using Temple Square in SLC, UT as an example on how close the Assyrians were to attacking Jerusalem.
Are the animals spoken of in 2nd Nephi 21:6-8 symbolic representations of countries or peoples?
