These Unshaken episodes are so amazing, believe it or not while studying your Old Testament podcasts I couldn’t get enough therefore was led here. Every single episode is priceless .
Just what I needed to hear! So timeless but relevant to our time and my moment! Thank you for your generous gift of self and tine!
It’s a blessing to me too...thank you very much... it’s nice to be your student♥️❤️♥️
love these lessons and chats. thank you thank you
Thank you Brother Halverson for yet another special lesson full of insightful uñderstanding of the gospel.
I thank you so much for helping me make my light shine more brighter. You bring such clarification to each verse. Thank brother Halverson. You are truly a teacher.
Thank you so much! A brighter light blesses not only you, but everyone who benefits from your illumination!
Thank-you Brother Halverson.
You are so welcome!
Your lessons are so so valuable to me. Spiritual droughts seem to come when we get so involved in our own world occupied life, but if we listen to good scripture study it balances us
The one time all week I look forward to is spending time with you and unshaken. I have learned many things in 40 years in the Church. I have rarely enjoyed learning so much so often on such a higher or deeper level. I pray that you will continue to be a blessing to us and a tool in Heavenly Fathers hands in strengthening the Saints all around the world. Glory toGod for the gifts he blesses you with and thanks to you for taking the time to preach in such a way to my understanding!
Thank you for such a kind and generous comment. All credit to the Giver of every good gift. I'm just grateful He lets us connect over His word. Thank you for letting me join you for your scripture study.
It's 9/16/24
Brother Jared Halverson, I love these older videos and watch these to enjoy the extra study 📖 of Doctrine and Covenants as we are studying The Book Of Mormon.
I also have been watching both older and New Unshaken ❤❤ 6:02
It is a piece of Zion every time I listen to this program, so many personal impressions come to me every time I write them down and I can apply to my daily life as I read them and at the same time it gives me the inspiration to give to those around me that they just roll out of my mouth!, thank you bother Halverson. Following, your teachings have been so edifying and I have made so many great decisions as I needed and to apply them in my callings and into my professional life as well in fulfilling the purpose I was created for.
How that lifted me. The difference between being pure and clean and being purified and cleansed.
Thank you so much for all your efforts, time, and wisdom that you impart each week. I love the time that I have watching and studying the scriptures with you and am thankful to the Lord for this master class. Clearly the Lord is preparing the earth (those that are willing to hear and harken) for the second coming and you are a part of this great work. Thank you so much for putting this content out there for the world. God Bless You - Jared Halverson!!!!!!
On my mission in Tennessee, I at first tried learning more about the Bible so I could prove that the Bible taught our truth. I came to realize that trying to use the Bible instead of the Spirit to convince people was unwise. The Bible was a battleground instead of the intended common ground. So I studied more and taught more from the Book of Mormon and let people decide if they wanted to know more. This lesson was a good reminder to “teach correct principles” rather than trying to force people to see things my way.
This weeks lesson on D&C 49-50 really resonated with my wife and I,in particular D&C 50:22 as we received by the Spirit what you were teaching by the Spirit.We are deeply thankful for the gift you share to us all each week.Roger n Salbiah.
Thank you so much. That verse describes a teacher's dream!
Thank you for giving your time to share and inform. As a convert I am learning so much. Sunday school had always been my best time of the week. I especially like your discussion on extremes. It makes sense.
Great insights this week! Thank you for your insights.
Very inspirational teaching.
Thank you for your teaching. I need this so much.
I am a convert to the church.My background was not American Christianity when I joined. I was raised in a home that exposed us to many different Christian churches and let us choose for ourselves. But by the time I came in touch with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints I had joined an Eastern religion that was not Christian. When I look at section 49 in the Doctrine and Covenants, I see many doctrines taught by Eastern religions that are corrected and given greater light by the things the Lord revealed in regard to the Shakers. The revelation was meaningful at the time in relation to the Shaker community since they were sincerely trying to live according to the understanding that they had. The revelation was trying to help them to understand the Lord’s ways better, and give them the opportunity to repent and align themselves more fully to the Lord’s ways by accepting the greater light being offered. As we become a worldwide church, I see the application of this section of the doctrine and covenants as being very helpful in helping people in other non-Christian religious communities by giving them light on some important concepts that are out of step with the Lord’s wishes. Each of the major foci Give important understandings that help refute some of the false ideas given by man, or of devils and help clear us to live lives in accordance to the covenant path. I appreciate section 49, not just as a historical jewel, but as a very relevant modern day useful light of clarity with international relevance and application.
Your journey has been a beautiful one, with so much learning along the way. Thank you for sharing. I love the thought of those of other faiths (beyond the Shakers alone) finding insight in this revelation.
Brilliant! Keep going, your presentation is excellent.
Thank you so much! I'm grateful we get to study together!
I never went to Institute so you are my first Institute teacher. I’m so grateful for your lessons and insights. I’m learning things that I have always had questions about and I’m starting to feel the Spirit again.
My dad passed away a few years ago and I have missed his teachings and felt so far away from the Spirit. These lessons are helping me regain my faith in the gospel after having a trial of faith. I have struggled mentally and emotionally for the past few years due to major depression, anxiety, ptsd, and bipolar depression, OCD, borderline disorder... divorce, unemployment and loosing my home. This has been a lifeline. I’m so grateful for you and your family.
I have hope.
Your daddy is closer than you think and is rooting for you .. of that I am certain . I imagine him feeling such pride for his daughter who is reaching up for Light as she faces the struggles of mortality . ❤️💕❤️
@@Johnsonnestutube thank you 🙏 I was going to delete this because I was embarrassed for putting it on here. If anything as I keep moving forward through everything I have felt closer to my dad and my Heavenly Father.
Keep up the good work. He is there for you, and will guide you along😇👍
Your post was very brave and I for one can relate to many of your struggles. I believe this medium of learning along with prayer can go a long way to heal and grow. Thank you for sharing!
I really appreciate what you said about building up without tearing down. I have somewhat been trying to do that by encouraging atheists for rejecting the trinity, and encouraging communists for seeking communal good, and capitalists for seeking freedom. But i need to be better about not tearing down catholics to their faith.
Well said! There's almost always some element of truth we can find in another's perspective, and build them up for that. Keep up the good work!
As a young woman in high school I had a similar “conversion experience” (reference from your lesson approximately time stamp 40:00). I became curious about the gospel and a friend gave me a book of Mormon to read. I can still remember how I felt when I turned to the opening title page and then the pages of the three witnesses. My heart was racing with anticipation, I felt as if I had stumbled across buried treasure, such was my excitement. I began reading 1st Nephi and it was only after my personal study and my own prayer that I came to know the Gospel was true. Before I met with the missionaries my decision was made. I was baptized at 17 and now at 46 my testimony has only grown deeper and more meaningful with time. As a young sister missionary I often held the opinion that as missionaries we are not much more than messengers, we by our own efforts alone cannot change an individual’s heart. Conversion must come from within.

OH HOW POWERFUL YOUR TEACHING MAKES ME WANT TO DO THINGS GODS WAY. CAROL DAWN ❤ MCGLAMERY
"7 days without listening to Brother Jared makes one weak". Before I left on a trip to visit my grandchildren, I went to get a pedicure and I accidentally left my phone there. It was one week without listening to you. I missed you and I'm so thankful to have my phone back and be able to listen to you again. You are the best thing that happened to me during Covid.
I am in some ways like that young man, with whom you met. I started a 'questions and concerns' list, that was roughly 10 pages, that has, over the last 4-5 years, turned into a 475 page study journal, where I posit the question or concern, and then lay out the doctrine as understood by the church, and then list talks, journal of discourse records and scriptures, as well as my personal understanding, of how it all works together and makes sense.
There are still many questions posited in my journal that I have not resolved or found answers to but it has truly helped my internalize the doctrines and teachings of the church and helped me better understand how the church's progression was more of a line upon line process than a guided and directed in all thing, type progression. Mistakes were made in their struggle to understand and implement teachings and commandments, that I and many others were confused about or frustrate by, if it truly is 'God's restored church'. It has been an interesting and enlightening journey to write down impressions and study topics and questions I've had.
Brother Halverson, as both empty nesters and converts to the church, your most excellent teachings of the scriptures are the institute/seminary classes we were never blessed to have taken. I am edified and motivated after each scriptural lesson, not missing even one lesson since you started teaching on You Tube. To say "thank you" does not come close to articulating the gratitude I feel. Your terrific!
Wow this is beautiful
Thank you Brother Halverson. Thank you for sharing your light and helping us to see the light.
I joined the church 12 years ago, I was 43. I have never really studied the Doctrine and Covenants because it doesn’t have a “story line”. But Bro Hal you have made it so much easier to follow and understand,. You are incredibly gifted. Thanks for sharing your gift.
2020 was one of the best years of my life for studying the gospel, thanks to you and your lessons. I have learned more about Christ, myself and people ( the human family) in the past year than I have my entire life. Thank you

Love it! Thank you!
you are wonderful teacher
Thank you
What a joy it is to be able to learn from Brother Halverson. My life is blessed, my understanding expanded and I am filled with gratitude.
As a 3 year old convert I realized I still have some old habits that I noticed. Thank you 🙏 for your teaching.
I believe all prospective missionaries of the Lord's Church should hear this message from Bro Halverson regarding how to share the gospel with those of another faith. It would help missionaries understand how to follow Christ's example of teaching with patience and love and allowing the Spirit to work on the listeners' hearts. Then, if the message is rejected, the result is that they did the work they were called to do, and can feel good about that, and the listener made their choice because of the gift of agency. Typically, a good outcome will never be the result of tearing down another's beliefs. Thank you for the wonderful insight!
Yes, you are teaching by the spirit and we are edified by the SPIRIT
Thank you for the football analogy, I know little about football but throwing and catching. But something turned a light on as you spoke about giving and receiving with the spirit as the football is thrown and caught. I am not repeating it well but it is my goal when I teach that they recieve through the spirit what their young minds may not understand completely, I teach Primary but even when I taught the youth SS class it was a major goal. Thanks for putting it into words better than I.
Thank you so much for your words and teachings.
I'm currently experiencing a spiritual draught yet I still look fowrawd to your videos each week. It keeps me going.
I'll pray for some more water in your life 💦
Sean Smith ask God for help. Infamous words, "Help Me"
Caution: be careful what you ask for
I've recently experienced some exceptional power and a miracle in fasting and prayer for a personal struggle, I recommend it to you 💙 that and keep coming here every week! This has been helping me so much too!
Spiritual draughts are tough! Keep the faith brother, I find miracles and sweet spiritual experiences come after the trial of a draught if I don't give up. Prayers on your behalf.
This too shall pass. 🌻
Thank You So Much for these lessons.I Click,like,Share on Facebook.
Thank you!
I have so enjoyed these, thank you. I couldn’t help but think, that the world calls it a dimmer switch, as if to say I have enough and would like lees. It should more correctly be called a brighter switch. As with Lehi referring to the fruit of the tree exceeding all whiteness, being most precious to the soul, in opposition to the great and spacious building. Oh that I could always desire the fruit above all, and be willing to receive greater light.
Thank you brother, great lesson and useful details that gives understand of the early Church and the difficulties the early saints experienced. Hard to imagine when everything today is given to us on a silver platter. Satin and his minions laugh at wildness and foolishness manifest in people as being possessed by the Holy Spirit. God's house is a house of order, faith, prayer, knowledge and love for one another.
Im so thankful for the technology that your scriptural and doctrine presentations have helped me in my growth and development of the scriptures. I reactivated my membership 9 years ago and my whole experience of studying the scriptures lacked any meaningful learning encounters until the pandemic and this new learning experience began. Thank you Bro Jared ...great presentations, Ive had some awesome light bulb moments, and huge learning encounters strengthening my testimony and relationship with my Heavenly Father and the Lord Jesus Christ...Thank you so much...
Well stated sister....I have experienced the same enlightenment...in fact 2020 was one of my best years in that regard..we are so greatly blessed through the spirit of faith, light, and truth. Keep up the good work😇

I'm thankful for the recent opportunity to witness the sunrise from the Sea - Caister on Sea Beach, approx 5am with my husband, watched with delight 💙. It brought tears to my eyes feeling the warmth on my face, the reflection of the Sun, hearing waves, the Gulls, and seeing a Seal, reading the scriptures and giving thanks to God and Jesus Chest for their Majestic power and creation of Nature, for all to behold. At one point, I was imagining Jesus Christ walking on the Sea saying 'All is Well' 💙
I look forward to everyone of your podcasts! Please keep this format going throughout all of our Come Follow Me studies of all the scriptures! I learn so much!!
I totally agree . Please keep them going Br Jared.....no end date !
I feel the same please keep going
Thank you, Jared, for blessing us with Gospel Doctrine and Insight to help us feel Our Savior's love during these challenging times ! I can feel the Holy Spirit more often and I am more motivated to follow the Lord.
I listen to your podcast while I work ,which helps me immensely. I am single and I am an empty -nester.
I look forward to your broadcasts.
Thank you for your wonderful teaching!
I'm so grateful for your CFM lessons each week, they have the depth I've always craved. I take notes like crazy! Thank you for teaching people like me who didn't attend BYU 💜
I enjoy studying with you Brother Halverson - I have a difficult time listening to two people sharing their happenings combined with teaching. I so enjoy that you do not have stickers, pamphlets, posters, etc. etc. I appreciate institute style teaching God's gospel with the Spirit.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and gifts.
Thank you so much for your insight. The Doctrine and Covenants has come to mean so much more to me. A " mental hook" is key.
'Light' is my favorite doctrine. For me it is the gospel. All that comes from God and Christ is light. The gospel is beautiful and light! Added: My grandfather's double cousin was Quaker. Now they do not do anything that puts one in the congregation above another but they do have someone who apparently is a 'leader'. I met he and his wife a couple of times. They radiated light. If they had been in the church they would have been given much responsibility. Of that I have no doubt. I also have no doubt they were where God wanted them to be, doing His work. Now that they are on the other side I know they are continuing to do His work. I also know the day their work was done was a huge day of celebration for them.
Bro Jared... I am so grateful for you and the spirit you bring into my mind. I am Excited to listen to your weekly lesson because I’m ALWAYS enlightened by them. It’s an open conduit for me to learn what God wants me to know. Exactly 50:24 about growing up in God! Sooo True for me!! I truly love Sunrise and Sunsets and now with you I feel it in every “Unshaken”scripture study... brighter and brighter until the perfect day. Love you for that, Thank You!
Always look forward to your lessons weekly. We are learning so much. Thank you ❤️
First time I have heard you & I'm actually not falling asleep like I accidentally do when I try to listen to other good CFM videos. First I've felt the spirit & interest & clarity for a long time. Thank you (PS, this isn't Jonny, it's his wife)
Thank you so much. I'm grateful there are so many good CFM options to choose from. We feel like we're all on a big online faculty together, just hoping that students will find teachers they can connect with. Thanks for prioritizing your scripture study!
I love looking at your facial expressions and body language as you teach. The additional visuals you use are also excellent. So grateful I can watch but if some can only access your podcast, you are worth every second spent on one’s learning journey 😊
I used to listen to Christian radio on my drive to work. I enjoyed many of the messages and learned a lot. One day, I was listening to a preacher-I think Baptist-who I listened to often. One day he was talking about the gifts of the Spirit and how they were not necessary in our day. They had already served their purpose. He built up to a very emotional-filled climax about how they were no longer needed before ending with quietly, “
(Oops. I pushed send accidentally)
And concluded by quietly asking, “or what do we say to the Mormons when they say that God and Christ appeared and spoke to Joseph Smith?”
@@kathrynquinn6889 If you click the three dots to the right of your comment you can edit it after posting. What a wonderful message!
Brother Jared....as the Lord has promised revealation and light to those who will knock and ask with real intent; your lessons have greatly provided that opportunity. You are a blessing to my home, my heart, and my faithful desire to grow in this Light of understanding the truth.
Thank you again, my good brother😇✌️. Keep up the good work....David
I am so enjoying the word. It brings great joy to my heart. I look forward to these lessons every week. I feel closer an d closer to the Holy One of Israel . Thank you, Thank you.
Dear Brother Halverson, thank you, thank you🙏for the light you share each week! I am your faithful friend from the institute office and a diligent student and fan of your verse by verse scripture presentation -which I try to watch at least once and listen to again in my daily work! I am compelled by the incredible insights you share.! The D&C has always been a favorite because it spoke to me quite directly. The scope and clarity included in your comments is wonderful and inspiring and light filled! I am so grateful 😍🙏🤩 for the horizon- broadening experience and embarrassed that I haven’t said so before 🤪even though I wanted to! 🥴Shy in technology skills! You are an amazing teacher and mentor and a blessing to all of us. A gift!♥️
Hello Kim! I'm so grateful I saw your comment! You have long been a blessing in my life. I'm honored you'd let me chip away at my debt to you in this way. I miss the light and joy you bring to the Institute!
EDIFIED,UPLIFTED, ENLIGHTENED,
MAGNITIZED INTO THE 'ONENESS'
you so graciously teach us!
GRACIAS,OBRIGADA!!☺️💥💪💖
I listened again. This time I was a better reciver. You are an excellent educator. I appreciate you.
I learn so much from you. Thank you for your efforts.
I am going to have to listen again! So much to comprehend! Thank you for your time and effort on my behalf!
Your lessons have given me a extra insight in some things.
I feel edified and enlightened! Thank you for teaching by the Spirit.
I enjoy your teaching style of verse-by-verse discussion. Thank you for sharing your faith and testimony; it strengthens mine.
Another brilliant session! Thank you Brother Jared.
Thank you😇🙏 every week you amaze me
Thank you so much for much....a friend told me she loved "Unshaken" and I have learned so much from listening to you. I listen to each of the Utube videos twice a week in case my mind wandered during something I needed to hear. I appreciate all the time you take to help us become more Christlike......LOVE
Awesome as always! Would love to see a series of the most common questions/concerns that people have when considering leaving the church or having a faith crises put into an easy to access form. You answer these throughout your lessons but to have them easily accessible for someone like me that may come into contact with someone who could greatly benefit from your knowledge in your words (you are amazing in this area) would be priceless in my opinion. Would love to see or hear letter the person wrote to you after all the discussions you had together and what he learned. I bet that would help many as well if possible. You have truly found one of your great gifts the Lord has given you and are multiplying it greatly in the lives of your viewers! Thank you!
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to listen and for us to learn and grow together. I am so grateful for the insight that it's okay not to be perfect, but that as I do my best, I can become perfected. I love the analogy of the Lord winking at us as we struggle forward doing our best. We learn, grow, progress, and become more and better.
I appreciate your dedication to helping me more fully understand the scriptures. Thank you.
My mom and I call each other each week after we listen to your videos. We LOVE your channel and enjoy all the knowledge and light you share. Thank you!!
I look forward to your video every week. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge of the scriptures with us!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🤟🏼
I love quoting some of your insights on gospel Doctrine in Gospel Doctrine lessons at church. I look like a genius!
Haha! Me too! They are such great insights!
me too hahaha Really great quotes and I learned a lot...my view to other religions became clear now unlike decades ago.
Same! 😂
Pride? Give the giver of the gift the credit.
@andreapickles I do give him credit...they are still great insights that I can share from Brother Halverson with my ward.
Always a joy to learn from you. We always find something .
Thank you for your teachings, knowledge, humility, willingness to share your gifts. I am old in life and new to technology, but love it. Your testimony and teachings are a light to helping me build my own testimony.
Hermano... Usted le da una nueva dimensión a las escrituras. Muchísimas gracias por su esfuerzo y su gran amor puestos en cada clase. Que Dios le bendiga.
I absolutely love this. Thank you so much for this. I need this !
Wow that wasp so powerful. Brother Jared if we fail it is not because of your teachings, it is our shortcomings to not listen and going to the Lord in prayer for help and understanding. Thank you so much.
So sorry of my mistakes in trying to say what is in my heart. It is up to us to. Follow your council to pray to the Lord for hankunderstanding His words. T
Thank you so much for sharing this! It brings so much joy and strength into my life. I am truly grateful.
Love these! Thx for your time you take to bless others!
These lessons are so edifying. Thank you a million times over!
I crave these lessons each week. Thank you so much for your knowledge and willingness to share it
Hello Brother Jared thank you for this week's lesson. I closed my eyes this week to just listen and see if I could do it. I like to see you teach the lesson.
Bless you and your family
I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to learn much more through your teaching. Thanks to you I realized with this lesson that our Father is blessing me because long ago I learned how to be humble before Him and since then I have a few gifts which I use to help others. Thank you for being an instrument in His hands and thank you for helping me and others. Have a blessed weekend
Ido enjoy the Doctrine Gospel Doctrine lessons at as well asget them form youTube thur the week.
I absolutely love your podcast and look forward to listening every week.
Thanks brother for this class ❤️❤️❤️
Definitely a blessing to my family so I don't hesitate in sharing your channel because it has all the things listed in Phillippians 4:8. Gracias!
Thank you for sharing your talents! The way you study, compare, share, explain, and connect ideas is so relatable. What a profound gift you have. Look forward to listening every week.
Thank you so much for illuminating the scriptures, I look forward to your teachings. Blessings
I cannot say enough how much how much I appreciate your lessons. For years I have thought it was unfair to exclude adult members of the church from Institute classes. I had the opportunity to take some when I was teaching Seminary years ago because our Seminary director was teaching them so he let his teachers come. I loved it. Now I get to take your class and to be honest I also listen to Follow Him each week as they have different insights that compliment yours. I have two grandsons I am helping to raise right now and so need to get up 2 hours early to have enough time to slowly go through the material and take notes and read links to other scriptures or conference talks that are mentioned in the lessons. I am so hooked on the scriptures, THANK YOU for your time. I love the verse by verse format you do.
As an incredibly gifted teacher you are empowering us with the spirit! FYI, my Uncle W. Cleon Skousen, researched why Bishop Partridge was called to repentance. It was because he was failing to give legal deeds (as instructed by the Lord in D&C 20:30) to land assigned to those he felt might not be committed Saints.

We have a long ways to go on helping the laminitis blossoming like a rose. The government has them so oppressed in socialism I can’t see it happening. But I’ve seen miracles and I know no one can stay Gods hand. I just wish it was a bigger focus. I love the people.
I have loved your channel and I look forward to listening every week. I have recommended you to my children and all of my friends. Thank you for all you do! I do hope you will continue even after we are able to meet together again.
This is my hope as well. Thanks for your service!
Yes! Me too! I keep praying you'll do the Old Testament and New Testament years and the little bit you didn't do in the beginning of the Book of Mormon as well so we can go full circle :)
At least until he’s finished the 4 main scriptures.
I love that you shared the experience of the rise of the sun in Puerto Rico, we are taking our family for a week there next week and I am going to make it a point to see the sun rise... You are so incredibly inspiring and inspired. Thanks for the lessons of life you teach as you share your testimony.
THANJ YOU. I LEARN SO MUCH!
