I REALLY appreciate you taking the time to go deep into the scriptures and go verse by verse until we get caught up to Jacob. These lessons have been life changing. Thank you brother Halverson.
Brother Jared when both the teacher and the student come😅to class with the same spirit then that same spirit will be the same and learning will be of the Lord.
Thanks for caring and all the time you and your family sacrifice for our good.
Im so sorry for people hurting your feelings. You have taught me souch of the scriptures. Iv been a member for 52 years and I finally found a person that can teach me details of the BOM. God bless you my friend ❤️🙏❤️
Brother Halverson, I'm so grateful for any time you give. Please don't be discouraged by the few who must complain. Rest assured , Most of us are extremely grateful for the time and sacrifice you and your family give to us. We love you. Thank you. May God consecrate your efforts.
agreed. It will need to be cut up anyways. for those who like it smaller. preferably by video-chapter.
Dear Beloved Brother Halverson, your gift is the insights and understanding that you have earned over the years of sacrifice to learn the scriptures and your ability and personality with which you share your knowledge and understanding. Please never feel like you have to apologize for deep diving into that gift. It is God given and we are blessed to be the grateful recipients of it.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, my prayers have been answered! The Lord must want me to be in my scriptures! I pray for your family that they will be blessed! I pray for you that you will be strengthened. You have no idea what a blessing these videos have been and what they have gotten me through!
I don’t care how long these are. You just do what you need to, to get the point across. It makes my sculpting go along so much nicer😊. My friend and I are committing to memory 2 Nephi 22. Love it.
Amazing podcast. I've lost... failed to lead my sons and they are all now leaving the church. I wish my family could listen and learn with you. Thank you for your time and sacrifice for all.
Breaks my heart to hear about your sons. Sending prayers for all of our lost children.
If you continue to love them and walk the covenant path, you are not a failure. (Even though that's how it feels sometimes. )
Sending prayers of hope and healing for your tender heart. ❤️🩹
Brother Halverson....may God bless you and your family for generations for your line-by-line discussions on the scriptures. I absolutely LOVE it and you for what you do! My love for the scriptures and my knowledge have both grown exponentially. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thanks for unfolding Isaiah & those teachings. his revelations, prophecies & instructions.
Isaiah has become alive, so as you continue to do verse by verse, we will become more in touch with this mountain of a man in the Lord. Even, now that the fact that the dead sea scrolls were preserved means that much more....for Isaiah's writings to shine forth, along with Nephi placing them in the forefront of the books of Nephi, as you are able to speak about the layer cake of Isaiah.
So, since the Lord has placed Isaiah's writings in so many places, we should take hold of them......
Thanks, once again, Brother Jared.
More information will come about, what is it we only have 1/3 of the scriptures now including the Bible and all of the other books even the Doctrine and Covenants. Just like the Book of Mormon was kept back
Whether long or short lessons…the Spirit of truth edifies us all. We have been so blessed to be a part of your Unshaken classroom👍. We love your faith filled heart…your endless energy…and your dedication to the Lords purposes❤️😇. Keep up the good work Jared…we need your guidance and testimony💪. David
😅
I apologize for those who are dealing with a lack of gratitude. I am amazed at the amount of time and sacrifice you give us and am grateful for it. Some weeks I can't listen to it all, but I always get in some. I was doing a deep study of the allegory of the olive tree last year and thought to look for old episodes from you, sure that you would have lots of info. They were there, but oh, you have advanced so far since then, I'm guessing they were some of the very first episodes you did. I learned a great deal (as was my hope), sometimes it just takes that one nugget of information to start the dominoes falling your mind of that relates to this to that to this and so on. I always listen to your podcast, even if I don't always have enough time to make it all the way through and I am so grateful to know that later, should I have time, I can go back. Thank you!
We saints in Lahaina are so encouraged to witness the blessings coming out of the destruction of our community by the August fires. A sister in our Sunday School class last week told about how her life has changed for the better, and now thinks of her own history as before the fire and after, even describing her life since then as "sweet!"
AND the well known and beloved banyan tree in the heart of Front Street is now showing new growth! Very encouraging.

My family will be in Maui in June. What time does the Lahaina ward meet?
@@cherylclark8817 Aloha Cheryl! We have a 9am sacrament only/testimony meeting for visitors/tourists 🙂 and our Lahaina ward meets at 10:30am. After the fires we split the two groups once we could meet in the building again to lessen the workload on the ward. It was like a Stake Conference every Sunday, with chairs filled all the way to the back of the cultural hall! Now just the visitors meeting is often filled to the back! I don't know how we managed to meet all together before...
Please do come and join us!
Aloha.
Dear Brother Jared Halverson, I love you helping out in teaching us learn more
I love finding each of your talks.
Found a talk you gave to many people who were having faith crisis with different reasons.
Or those who want to learn how to help others in such situations.
You always make me feel better because I have family members who left the church, others that never want to learn about the church, and all don't attend any church ...
Prayers for everyone is what I do.

No matter what anyone says, you are a Blessing to me. I am sorry some people are so evil on here😢 you are choice in the Lords eye's for what you do for all of us,,thank-you 😊
Thank you for following the SPIRIT and helping us understand Isaiah ❤as the Savior said Great are the WORDS of Isaiah . We love and appreciate you .😊
Thank you so much for lengthened lessons, especially as we learn Isaiah via Nephi & Jacob. I have definitely needed your explanations! 🥰
I agree. thank you for saying as much.
I have been w you since the beginning, thank you. My testimony and spirit have soared because of your teaching!❤❤❤
Brother Halverson, you are an amazing teacher. As for the not so nice individuals , i am sure you know that "there is opposition in all things" specially when you are doing the Lord's work in gathering israel.May the lord bless and and watches over you and your family.
I look forward to these releases. Thank you, Brother Halverson.
Brother Jared. You keep doing whatever teaching method you are prompted to do. I am returning to learning to follow the Lord after a few years and I thank you for taking valuable time to share scriptures and gospel lessons. Bless you for blessing me.
Thank you SO much for continuing the longer lessons until we get back to where we started. I was completely heartbroken that we were going to miss so much of your special talents and insights on this part of the Book of Mormon.
Me, too!
You said exactly what I was thinking!
Thank you.
I feel the same way.
Rest assured Brother Halverson I loved our marathon last week! I learned so much and am so excited to combine this week to learn more ❤
Brother H. You have given me comfort . I battle a mental illness and social anxiety. I don't attend church anymore. Thank you for consecrating your time to teach me about Isaiah.
Hang in there, friend.
That's a very difficult challenge. Many suffer in silence, as you do, with the same challenge.
You are not alone.
Keep your faith, friend. ❤❤❤
So kind friend thank you ❤❤❤❤
Brother Jared we know you are not listening to the evil spirit Jared we don't criticize how you teach. We love every minute you have to share these things with us. Don't listen to the negative people. You are doing an excellent job keep up the good work
Wow lols cannot wait to listen to this lesson have a blessed day.🎉
Your lessons are a blessing in my life!! (The longer the better, just can't get enough of them.) So, Thank you so much for all your time and effort to help so many of us, to come closer to Christ!
You my Brother are so much appreciated, long or short I watch and listen am blest . Thank you again!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for going verse for verse. For the first time I am understanding Isaiah. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I'm joyfully laughing to myself Brother Halverson. We love you!!!
Yay!!! Last week was amazing!
So grateful you are diving deep into the missing portion of your BOM series from 4 years ago.
Also, it was such a privilege to hear you speak, and to meet you at the Single Adult Conference in January.
Thank you, Brother Halverson!!!
I love your lessons . Take your time teaching. I am going to watch it all! You are an amazing teacher!
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO GO VERSE BY VERSE!!! I need that so badly to understand the ddetails and we love it!!! Your amazing tell your wife thank you for sharing your time with all!! 🙌🙏🏼🙌
I feel you are teaching wonderfully; all the ways you present the Gospel from the Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints is fantastic. Thank you Brother Halverson....
I also like the longer lessons.
The instant excitement I felt as you said we will continue to go verse by verse, at least for a while. Thank you so much! ❤️
I really appreciate your time to make these videos. Learning a lot.
People are so dumb when they say you lied etc...i think they don't have to listen or be apart of this. Thx. For being you
I came to love Isaiah 4 years ago but this second time around, with you and others, has deepened my appreciation for Nephi, Isaiah, and prophets (living in particular). What a blessing to have our testimonies strengthened together, based on love of God and love of each other! Thank you for paying a price to help us understand that time in the scriptures is time with The Godhead and worth any price.
Hooray for the deep dive! I love these lessons. Thank you so much ❤
Jared, you are not a liar… you simply repented to be realistic to the nature of the task we are embracing. I appreciate verse by verse…. People can leave otherwise. I join because of missing details other channels don’t provide. Thanks in advance for your sacrifice and willingness. God bless
You are a blessing to us❤
You are doing great and thank you for sharing these lessons. I have told my husband about your lessons and he is a driver that listens to your podcasts.
Thank you so much Bro Halverson. I am beginning to understand and love Isaiah.
Brother Halverson, this is the first time I have made a comment, but I want you to know I have been listening to you “religiously“ since the middle of your podcasts on the New Testament. I thoroughly enjoy your insights. Thank you for the sacrifices you and your family make to bring These lessons to us. I am one of the many who have glossed over the Isaiah chapters in 2Nephi. It’s been very helpful to hear your thoughts on those chapters. I very much appreciate your efforts.
Jared, you're a blessing. I'm so thankful to you for helping me to start understanding Isaiah, and yes, I love it
I love the longer videos, so grateful for your time and willingness to spend this time with us in the scriptures.
Good morning from Arlington, Washington!
Thank you so much for all your hard work and insights ! ❤
Thanks for making the effort. I am just happy you make any videos. I like reading scriptures quickly and all 5 books every day and I like reading slowly or targeting in on specific scriptures.
I got a nice response this past BOOK OF MORMON and Bible reading time, where another reader said they saw the same thing in the spirit about the Jaredites as I was noting in my electronic scriptures. Several people have the same revelation about the matter and it is interesting. Reading and studying more than one way is important and your way with your self sharing is exceptionally important and nice. Thank you, Jared.
I’ve joined a couple of groups on Facebook that are LDS groups (not sponsored by the church but follow church teachings.
Anyway, there are so many members that are very judgmental. You’d think that 1st Christians as a whole would be nonjudgmental let alone us. We know the plan of salvation yet omg. Pick on folks for their lack of wealth and can’t afford what they deem proper church attire and on from there.
Thank you Jarod for all you do. I’ve learned so much over this past year and half. You’ve lit a fire. Thank you so much
The talk be Elder Bruce R. McConkie, Joseph Smith the Revealer of Jesus Christ is another great read on this topic… thanks Bro. Jared for all the time you spend on these!!! 🙌🏼
Thank you so much for taking us through to where you started the last time we read the Book of Mormon!
I really love Isaiah! Thank you for the great lesson! I’m excited to listen to your podcast this weekend
Long or short Bro.Hal, I'm grateful you're willing to share your knowledge of these verses and sacrifice so much of your professional time for us. I'm flattered and thankful
Gracias hno Halverson por su tiempo, su ayuda para aprender y comprender, has sido de inmenso valor para mi.
One of the interpretations that I like is where the B/branch growing out of the roots applies to He, and those, to whom the priesthood rightly belongs. The Savior gives to those who follow Him the same Melchizedek priesthood that He Himself holds. To me, this makes more sense than seeing the whole verse about Joseph Smith, and I think it works better in the chiasm as well. I can't imagine who in the world would be complaining about this magnificent podcast. I think about how long I've been reading and studying the Book of Mormon, and compare it to Dr. Halverson, and I'm blown away when I see the difference in his understanding and mine. When my husband and I were young, we even went to an all-day Isaiah convention in Irvine, CA and learned a ton, and I'm still blown away. Hurrah for Unshaken! So glad my best friend recommended it to me.
❤❤❤
Shukran 🙏🏻
Thank you btother
Okay...I have been brought to genuine tears before your content even started, by your announcing the special video that you will be posting this weekend. To me, it validated my angst and focus for so long, that it is SO hard to be wisely operating between the laws of God and the love of mankind... particularly when family is in the latter camp. Trying to set policy for a new family gathering spot, where we want to feel the spirit, and finding the navigating of those policies filled with potential offensive reaction... but also for additional closeness in sharing in loving communication how difficult these decisions are to wrestle with. Love my children, love God and His laws...Looking forward to this presentation which will without doubt help me navigate these hard issues. (and of course love every moment of your edifying, comforting, & sound weekly videos! thank you!!)
Thank you for your wonder way you explain Isaiah! I like the longer study!
Oops wonderful way!
I read this chapter last night and was so confused during Ch 20. Only my husband’s help and the chapter heading gave me any clue as to what was happening. Thank you so much for this. It’s a start for me with these verses.
Another great lesson! Loving Isaiah more and more.
THANK YOU for all you do! Thank you for going verse by through Isaiah, I have always loved Isaiah but felt like I missing some messages. You have made Isaiah come even more alive. I love the longer lessons but truly appercaite anything you give us. I will share your video when you post it. Thank you again for everything!
Just finished harmony and orthodoxy AMAZING!!!!!! PERFECT!!!! THANK YOU!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I've only listened to the first minute, but I wanted to tell you "thank you, thank you, thank you for going slower through thee Book of Mormon. I was worried when you mentioned hour episodes at the beginning of the year, but I understand, though I am very grateful to you and your family for your time and their sacrifice of your time with them.
I am so sorry that you seem to have landed in the crossfire of people who like to stir the pot. But I for one enjoy the longer lessees, cause if I can finish the lesson I can pause it and return the next night. Your lessons are so valuable to me, I learn so much. I never would have made it through the Old Testiment, I just couldn't understand but You helped me learn and realize there was so much there. Same way with the BoM. I've read it jug several times, started allot of time but got to the Isaiah chapters and quit. I read it a couple times but this time with your lessons I was amazed, it seemed like a whole new book to me. So Im so very thankful for you and your family and I will be there short or long, through all the books. You are appreciated by so meant AMF I am just one
I love the verse by verse! It helps me study the way I have always wanted to! Thanks for sharing your spiritual gifts.
Thank you for all of the time and effort you put into these. I was saddened when you mentioned you were going to an hour, but understand and honor your time.
I have also come to know that the Lord works through you… and that won’t change regardless of the length of the video, because I have also learned that regardless of length, if prompted, you will always expound upon those things that are needed. ❤
So thank you… for all you do. I don’t feel slighted at all. Only greatly blessed by the giving of your time and love.
When you explained paradoxes while we were studying Paul, I knew that was for me. I had commented on a previous video saying ”oh if I had two hours with you, what a blessing that would be for me.” Then you explained contraries in one of the next videos. The spirit testified that that was for me and I had been blessed. ❤Thank you.
BroHal, you are a freaking rockstar to do all this work for us! Anytime a professional shares their expertise, I am just beyond grateful. My condolences to your wife. 😂😅
I survived, {didn't particularly enjoy it, but I survived.} Isaiah is major But you are always a blessing. Thank you. I have learned and grown so much bc of your lessons.
Brother Halversham, thank you so much for helping me understand what has confused me for so many years with regard to 2 Ne 21:1 and D&C 113. I will be going back and hearing the expanded version in Isaiah 11!
THANKS for doing what I hoped you would. And keep it long untill you catch up. 👎 to those that don’t agree. And they have so many others they Can follow. ❤❤❤❤
Thanks for all you do!!Can we keep Scuba diving your amazing!! Listening and studying as a Bishop all the way from Australia..dont listen to Satan and go shorter..let's do longer👊🙏
I like verse by verse. Please don’t change. 🎉🎉❤
i just appreciate these lessons.
😊 Incredibly 😊 happy 😊 about 😊 verse 😊 by 😊 verse 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
When you described....Joseph Smith coming from Jesus Christ, followed by Jesus Crist leading to Joseph Smith. This makes perfect sense as Jesus Christ came to the earth to establish the church. Joseph Smith came after to restore it. Then Joseph Smith will play some role in ushering in Jesus Christ for the 2nd coming and the image comes full circle. It's beautiful❤
I LOVE ...❤...SEEING YOU ..IN SHIRT AND TIE!!😂😊
I sure love your work, i have not told you enough
Thank you so so much for ALL your hard work
I am new to your podcasts. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. You are so inspiring!
If anybody has a problem with deep studies of THE BOOK OF NORMON, then that they need to get involved with the SPIRIT by Prayer. I need the deep studies. Thanks.
If we yoke ourselves to the world, it WILL abandon us to a burden that is too heavy to bear.
Oh my gosh! Lots of thoughts today. When you were discussing the triumphal entry of Jesus, my mind went to the panic those in charge in Jerusalem (Sadducees) must have felt because the people were accepting their true King. It reminded me of Lord of the Rings and the madness and inability of the Steward of Gondor to relinquish his hold on the throne. It's an interesting parallel to contemplate 🙂
Thank you so much 😍👏
Thank You for your insights. I was thinking about a past comment and thought that Moses sounds like a Sam to me.
A Bitern is a bird of the heron family that lives in the tall rushes of swampy land. It stands up stock straight and perfectly still with it's head pointing directly to the sky, thus making itself look as close to a reed as possible.. It is VERY hard to find and rarely seen because of it's wonderful camouflage. I found Isiah's reference to the bitern quite thought provoking, especially in the context that it is written in, solitary, hidden, almost as if it is afraid to be seen or found, but it's beak points straight up to the heavens yet it's eyes look down to earth (to catch the frogs and little fish it feeds on). And thanks for telling me what a cockarice is.. I didn't know what that was. Now I do and that makes that image of a tiny child playing on the cockatrice's den makes me understand those verses and symbols much more.
There is soooo much to learn in the scriptures.
Thanks Brother Halverson for untying so many knots of ignorance and misunderstanding. Learning is soo much fun, and I have certainly learned a ton of things from you.. Bless you and your family for sharing so much time and knowledge with us out there all across the world ❤
One of our concerns for going on a senior mission was we might not have Bro H in the Amazon basin of Peru, but you are here with us. Thank you
Isaiah often gives two letters of the law so I can Identify the spirit. Often the letters are physical things.
Jared, I love your wonderful insights - thank you! But I have one for you -- the bittern in Isaiah 24:22 is a large wading bird in the heron group. We have them here in Utah, the American bitterns They live in swampy places and are very secretive. 🙂
Brother Halverson, I believe that your students (us) have wished, prayed, hoped and silently knew you couldn’t stop chapters (feet) short of finishing a marathon🤣.
It’s not in your celestial DNA to stop short of completion😉.
You are the best
Brother Halverson, my son left on his mission a couple of weeks ago, and he asked me if I could find a transcript of your videos that he can use alongside his scripture reading. I have been sharing some of your insights during family scripture study over the last year, and he is missing that! I have looked, but have not found one. Is that something that is available?
I’ve always hated that story of JD and the rattler. I would have said, “Brother Joseph, I’m trying to be like Jesus, he has power to bruise my heel, I’m gonna crush his head!”
It sounds to me that 1. Joseph is springing from Jesus and 2. Jesus is coming in the Millenial time from the restored church through Joseph.
I can't help but think that our standard bearer is the prophet 🙂. "Gather round the standard bearer"
If you didn't find someone to fix your audio, let me know. I'm a Filmmaker.
3:20...Yaay...faith crisis content to come...can you add proving of contraries along with it?????
Are wells of salvation where we find the word of lord that has not been seen
Bitterns are birds that walk in the muck
A Bittern is a variety of Heron (the bird).
Do you have a patreon account, Brother Halverson?
it seems that 2Nephi 23: 12 is referring to same events as 2Nephi 13: 1 😢. I don't want to be valued just because males are scarce.
