I keep a running list of experiences, impressions, revelation and miracles that have built my testimony. These are my "anchor bolts". I call this list "Why I Believe What I Believe". Every now and then, I run through it and it has strengthened me immensely. But the real value has been in allowing me to keep those things fresh. It's much harder for the adversary to steal away light when you have it in writing. The memories always come flooding back.
Very neat! That's awesome that you do that.
Yes, wonderful, Bro. Don Layton!!! Thank you so very much for this!!! You just help me look at what you do and I might even do this!! For one who tends to procrastinate, etc.!!! For isn’t able to or refuses to look at things and think about!!! That is awesome what you do!! Thank you very much!! Love, Sis. Gay Michaelis. ❤️✋👍🙏👌😇😁
@@CalledtoShareWell I did have a shelf and it was God who broke it. Wasn't the world that broke it. God decided to break it himself. God sometimes does this.
What do you mean?
@@CalledtoShare There are some in the Church who have a perfect knowlegde of the truth who are beyond hope and faith and have got a perfect knowledge of God and have had the spiritual experiences of bursting the veil that President Nelson was talking about.
I read my Patriarchal Blessing each month. it's my way of balancing my life; where I am, whst I should be working on and the blessings waiting for me
That is a wonderful habit!
My first realization reading the BOM after forty years away, was that the separation between Nephi and his Brothers was due to Nephi remembering and keeping alive Gods works in their lives, and his Brothers forgetting or not keeping those things in remembrance. This is what drove the entire BOM drama, as well as all the ups and downs, the wars and contentions, joys and sorrows. Remembrance.
This is awesome, we all need a reminder of what God has done, what he is doing currently, and what is to come. Thank you.
Well said!
This is my stake!!! I heard him speak, he also came to my seminary class and spoke. He did a Q and A and it was really really awesome!!
Wonderful! I'm so glad you were able to be there.
One of my favorite gospel teachers. Thank you brother Halverson!
“If we have the truth, it cannot be harmed by investigation; if we have not the truth, it ought to be harmed” -Apostle J. Reuben Clark
Why would seeking diligently with real intent to know the facts about the church be negative? Are there are things the church benefits from its members ignoring? 🤔
Who said it is negative to know the facts about the church?
Yea if you look into the way the 12 apostles have treated people who tried to show church history in an objective way, it’s not necessarily very inspiring. Leonard Arrington is one example. He was pulled out of his calling of church historian because he wanted to show the history in an objective way without oversight by the twelve. They refused to let him publish his works without them censoring it first. Clearly that can’t be meaningless. I never think censorship is a good thing if it’s simply someone trying to publish facts.
What a powerful way to deal with doubts, shaken faith, and move forward remembering the things we know!
Loved this, Bro. Halverson & any and all that helped bring this to me and other people on RUclips!!! Thank you very much & may the Lord bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you!!!
Glad it helped!
Perfectly said💯💯💯💯💯
AMEN!!! You know, I didn't realize I had a shelf until I heard this, There are tons of things I don't have answers to ... but so what? I knew the church was true when i joined the church, and that hasn't changed, The things I struggle with are things like (ignorance) getting angry with my Father because my son was born with cerebral palsy after I had been paying my tithing and doing my best to keep the commandments.... simply because I was ignorant. Ignorance can be fixed. There was no one to help me during this critical event, I have repented of this anger after reading the BOM. And people
“We believe that God will yet reveal many great and important things…..” when was the last time something new was revealed?
Nevermind I’ll just put that question on my shelf and not worry about it
As this clip explains, questions aren't to be put on the shelf and not worried about.
I think you understand that, but it's easier just to act like questions are discouraged.
“We believe that God will yet reveal many great and important things…..” when was the last time something new was revealed? Since 1842 when the Articles of Faith were written, a WHOLE lot of important things.
Homeschoolers rock btw. :)
Excellent! Can't agree more with the statements in this video; shelves that involve the need to ponder, pray, & prepare minds for tomorrow. For thousands of years most of the sons and daughters of God have lived without complete information. They have had to live by faith. We live in a modern world that has an accumulation of vast amounts of knowledge at their finger tips which information originated from acts of faith. Is it possible that accessing knowledge without acts of faith has caused faith to wane? Faith is active and in the past required action of study vs today's no action other than to ask Alexa or Google? Is it possible that there has been ingratitude for the amount of knowledge that we have consumed as well as we've become use to instant information to the extent we feel entitled to getting answers now on demand? Revelation comes in the timeframe of the Lord. Not when we want it. So we hear of those who demand revelation now as if the brethren should be getting answers right and left and forget that things don't work this way. The Lord reveals according to his will and pleasure and not according to our timeframe. We live in an ongoing restoration. We should cultivate gratitude for the things God has revealed. Thank you for this.
Great comment. A lot I had never considered. Thanks so much for sharing.
I AGREE!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I love this so much! I never thought of it like that, and I think I should study the scriptures more often, and more profound. And then ask and pray about the things ponder them in my heart
Simple but profound! Excellent message.
Thanks for listening
We need the Holy Spirit to speak the truth and receive revelation. I'm grateful for those who prepare themselves to hear the word of the Lord through the Holy Spirit. The gospel is still incomplete. The prophet has let us know that the restoration is still happening. Great insights here.
Thanks for your comment!
I wonder what issues are on brother Halversons 3rd shelf? I would be interested in hearing those issues and the justifications of why it's OK to just leave those issues on that shelf to ignore. It's kind of like knowing that you have skin cancer on your back, but you don't have to think about it because you can't see it with your shirt on.
No one said anything about putting them on the shelf and ignoring them.
“I’ve always had an inquiring mind. I’m not satisfied just to accept things. I like to follow through and study things out. I learned early to put aside those gospel questions that I couldn’t answer. I had a shelf of things I didn’t understand, but as I’ve grown older and studied and prayed and thought about each problem, one by one I’ve been able to better understand them.” - Camille Eyring Kimball
I have a shelf, I just didn't call it that. I thought of it as more of a notebook with questions to ask later.
For anyone who enjoys this video, you would probably love his Unshaken RUclips channel/podcast! Incredible content - he dives deep into the scriptures, deeper than the Come, Follow Me outline, in an amazingly relatable way. 1000% recommend.
What if the answers we find are contrary to what we grew up believing and having faith in?
The answers we find force us to question our faith in the man that was supposed to be a prophet of godt
Great question. Jared talked about that a little bit in the full video. I can't find the exact spot, but he essentially encouraged people who encounter answers that are troubling to keep digging for the full context and not just relying on the surface level answer that can cause one to be unsettled.

* People say they leave the church because they have so many questions. I stay in the church because I’ve found so many answers. Susan Black
I love it!
I don’t think anyone should feel that they are “unfaithful” if they have a need to explore those things that are uncertain or things in church history that puzzle them. There are some really dark things in the church history and to just ignore them now is only harmful. Any sincere seeking of knowledge is a good thing. I don’t think anything should be put on a shelf. It just makes people feel guilty if they have sincere questions
Did you watch the video? I don't think you understood it if you did. Shelving something isn't ignoring it. It means to continue seeking to understand it. Shelving is a way to categorize and deal with our questions. If you haven't watched the video, I would encourage you to do so.
@@CalledtoShare Thats not how people use the term. They use it to mean “keep in the faith, just worry about that later” kinda thing. And I did watch the video. I don’t agree with it.
Great talk.
Personal revelation came to many members when we made our homes centered in Christ as Prophet directed us long before 2020. Now that we are back in person we have nowhere to put these questions. Or we find answers and truths that were never taught to us both at church and in school.
Now is the best time to be in the Church because The Lord is ready to reveal personal revelation and we can take these questions to the temple and learn and act as Jesus would.
Brilliant! I love this!
Wasn’t it great!?!
@@CalledtoShare Absolutely 🙌🏻🙌🏻
👍🏻🙏🏼❤
Thank you for sharing this! I tried clicking on the full fireside link and it said it’s unavailable. So bummed. Is there a way you can fix that?
I think the other channel took it down.
Good stuff
Glad you enjoyed
Interesting 🤔🤔🤔
Cute response, but it still doesn't address the real issues I have found with the church.
It says that the link to the full fireside is "below" where it says where the link to the full fireside is. Anyone know the link address?
They took the link to the fireside down, sorry.
Thanks for your talk. I must start erecting my shelves.
Me too! Patriarchal blessing is in my shelf one also. As is my missionary experience.
Why am I not seeing the link to watch the full fireside?
It got taken down by the original publisher.
The Lord tells us to… “doubt not, but be believing”. I have put things on shelf #3 many times. But some answers have come only after years of faithful study, pondering & prayer. Stay faithful to your covenants and the Lord will answer your questions in time.
My shelf didn't break. I just got answers to my questions that aren't approved by the church but are still true. Nice gaslighting though.
that which is of fact that is adjusted to ideals can be all about ones settle ideals, bias, and framing we are just asked to reach up to the God above to be transcending are genuine human not our fancy animal that which is as a shelf analogy we must only suppose as u used the analogy of the climber it is always be belayed top down and finally a comment from another haverson of colorado not u but s insightful one God can drive a parked car furthermore haven't been in a car frantically flailing by grabbing the wheel as kids due is just imagining as kids due and with out faith alone one can not even start the car the eternal vehicle that must be guide by celestial gps of the whole unto being grown to perfectingness as the ultimate goal of one that is of survival value
I disagree when you said that other churches are incomplete. No theirs churches are wrong because the foundation is wrong. As for me it is personal undeniable Revelations. without them members wither away.
