Never apologize!! I don't mind hearing puppies or the sounds of life. Your family is wonderful to share you with us:-) You are amazing! Thank you for all the time and effort you you put into these episodes. I have truly come to love the Old Testament this year, and that comes not just from my own study, but from the insight and background that you offer. My testimony and love of the gospel has grown as I have studied along with you. Thank you for helping me to become "Unshaken."
Brother Halverson, I feel like you are a part of my family. If ever I see you I will just want to give you a huge bear hug! We've spent so much time together learning. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom. I remember taking classes from the Institute way back and how much I loved them because the instructors provided so much insight. I have so enjoyed your lessons. I sometimes listen to them again and again. Oh the beauty of technology that gives us that opportunity, My life is richer and each lesson has gold nuggets that I can implement in my life. God bless you and please keep the lessons coming!
What a pleasure it is to spend time with you all be it through an electronic device! Thank you for your magnanimous efforts, and yes consecration, too!
There is certainly a lot to cover in the OT, but one repeating theme is clear: obey and repent. If you don't, it will not go well for you, but remember that the Lord is one of great mercy. Our advocate will never give up on us.
We just love your podcasts, teaching us, unlocking the meanings of the scriptures, and likening them to us! We love the personal stories you share! Thank you, ever so much, for the time and effort you spend in our behalf!
Again and again and again THANK YOU SO MUCH! I haven't missed a class yet from the beginning and I can't express how much these have blessed me and my family. I honestly can't believe how much time this must take out of your week each time. You and your family are in my prayers. Thank you
I'm grateful and thankful for your efforts in sharing your talent to teach me in the ways of the Lord and I look forward every Sunday to hear you teach and feed my spiritual needs. May the Lord will strengthen you all the time and bless you and your family abundantly.
I’m unable to find the words to do justice for the gratitude I have for you sharing your time, talents, and testimony, of the truths found in the scriptures. These past couple of years, studying under your direction and assistance, have been life changing. I’ve learned to love the Old Testament like I never knew possible. It’s the first time I’ve actually read every word of the OT. Reading the Book of Mormon along with the OT has also brought it all to life and made so much more sense. Thank you so very much.
Thank you for putting the time and effort into these. And thank your family to for I know it’s taking alot of time away from them Without without your podcast my learning from my study of these scriptures would be minimal as I don’t know the scriptures well enough to pick out related scriptures, jewish culture, history and symbolism to be able to understand it much without your help. Thanks so much
I am so thankful to have been privileged to listen and learn from you all those hours in scripture study. It's made all the difference in my Come Follow Me experience. I have gotten so much hope, so much appreciation to God and Christ. So much from your words. Thank you so much!
After much thought about my bag and my treats/treasure….some have slipped away but I will return again to recollect those treasures- I share my treasure with my little ones and coworkers. I have see light return to the eyes of those I share my scriptures/ treasure with! I feel like in years past I have behaved as a hurried tourist in scripture! I thank God for this new way for me to learn while I work! I will begin something for God. Thanks you thank you ALL! I feel a kinship with everyone that listens and more!
I thank you for giving us all of your time effort and knowledge!! I don’t know how you do it but I want you to know that you are blessing my life with these classes. Gracias de todo corazón!!🙏🏼
I join with everyone else saying thx. My sister responded to my question about who to watch and listen to. Your site was recommended. There aren’t enough thx to justify or explain how much you’ve been a true believer & teacher.
From a regular listener, something marvelous has happened to me. I am starting the Book of Mormon over again and in 2nd Nephi I just discovered that I actually can read with understanding the Isaiah chapters for the very first time without having to find my additional book on "Isaiah Speaks to Modern Times" by Skousen. Words cannot express my gratitude for this growth and love of the scriptures. Thank you Jared Halverson. I was a good friend to Luanna Halverson (105 years of age when she passed away).
I am very hard on myself and even though I take two steps forward I still fall short by sliding back some. I am so grateful for the promise to rebuild. I have a good foundation but maybe I need some redecorating😊
Hey brother Halverson, we don’t care where you do your come follow me institute. Also, we don’t care about production value because we just want you. Thank you
Hello 👋 I don't come and leave a message for you but I want you to know that you have charged the way I feel abt studying the Scriptures. My mother was very strict abt us spending our day reading 📚 them and I never thought of them as fun or interesting to get into every Sunday. I wish I had but never receiving the feeling of being loved was never there so we as teens thought the church was just something to force us to be busy on Sunday along with church. But I realize now that my spiritual self depended on me, no one else. Let's say, you brought the Spiritual me out. Thanx so much. ☺️ You make learning the Scriptures exciting.
Thank you very much for your time and knowledge to share. I have had my heart changed from your discourses. I have loved every moment and have learned so much the scriptures that have brought me closer to God. Thank you so very much. God bless you!
I thoroughly enjoyed your humorous and very true memories of Halloween from back in the day. I can completely relate. Your insights are profound.... consecrating our prayers... I never looked at it that way before. Thank you once again for your diligence and dedication to the Lord. Merry Christmas.
Speaking of fun times to read scripture, Zachariah 2:6 is a really fun one for Christmas “Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the Lord: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the Lord.”
Huh. Both of my favorite channels are using "hole in the bucket/bag" metaphors, but in opposite ways. The other one says, "if you don't love and take care of yourself, nothing anybody else does or says will stick". I'm sensing a contrary to be proven! Can't say what it is though - perhaps yourself vs. service? Regardless, I think many of us need to hear the message to focus less on what we do and more on who we are or why we do it, while others need to work on turning intent into action. Always balance. Man I wish I was as good at expressing things as Jared is. Oh well, thanks for keeping up with the lessons even with a house full of puppies!
I love the Halloween bag analogy and used it to teach my children this principle of “consider your ways.” In the end, my 7-year-old daughter just was so sad that some poor soul didn’t bring home any candy on Halloween night😁
17:01 I remember reading this quote on my mission back in 2013-2015 and having it really hit home. Thank you for sharing it with all of us! It is a wonderful, poignant reminder.
Several days ago the Lord led me to that very verse in 2 Nephi 32 as a personal message. I've been praying to understand what he wants me to understand about it and how do I consecrate my performances for the welfare of my soul. And isn't that selfish? I've been wrestling. Thank you for being an answer to my prayers.
Dear bro Hal., would you consider rewarding us for our 200 hours of Old testament training by introducing your puppies?? Maybe it can be considered an early Christmas present, there's nothing sweeter and more adorable than a puppy!
You brought up the plastic orange pumpkin & then you said ‘graduated’ & I thought to myself, ‘Brother Halverson is not gonna say pillow case… Don’t say pillow case…’ & then you said pillow case😂😂 Then I laughed out loud & thought to myself… I guess I DO have more in common with this brilliant teacher than I thought😂😂😂 Thank you Brother Halverson for always reminding me that you’re human😅🙏🏽🙏🏽
I feel like I have been putting all my money in a bag with holes all my life. Every paycheck I get i cry because it's getting smaller and smaller. I thank the lord for taking care of me.
What does the celestial sphere look like to you? How could one tell the difference between celestial and terrestrial or terrestrial when an individual is there and how would one know when one arrives? Thanks for thinking about it.
When my son was learning to speak, he used the word: LUMP, for ELEPHANT. 🐘 A neighbor and friend tried to get the 10 months old to say the correct names. He purposely refused.
All the destruction of Israel was caused by the people, they destroyed themselves due to their wickedness. God never destroys a place or nation that hasn't already destroyed itself. Gods people must realize that we must be sealed with Christ, the biblical Christ, by knowing Him, He must be as close as a whisper. He will never leave you; He will never remove His love because love is His essence.
And He chasens those He loves. To be one in Christ can bring peace to our hearts. He does not bring peace in the world. It is hard work to build the kingdom of God upon the earth. Yet, it is worth it. Some day, soon, there will be a fulfillment of Zachariah 2:3-5 that there will be so many gathered to Zion that there will be no walls long enough to surround her. The time is coming when there will be enough laborers to bring the full harvest in.
Susa Young Gates, the daughter of President Brigham Young (1801-1877), once asked her father “how it would ever be possible to accomplish the great amount of temple work that must be done, if all are given a full opportunity for exaltation. He told her there would be many inventions of labor-saving devices, so that our daily duties could be performed in a short time, leaving us more and more time for temple work” (Archibald F. Bennett, “Put on Thy Strength, O Zion!” Improvement Era, Oct. 1952, 720).
At minutes 40 & 41, I realized I had cheated myself & the Lord 😩 I have felt the great need to Get Out Of Debt! The Lord has been helping me get out of debt! I only had 4 payments left, Then, Black Friday & Cyber Monday came; items I Needed & (other items I wanted for my family reunion - which I am in charge of this year), were on really good sales, so I purchased them on credit. Now, I am realizing just how much the Lord HAD BEEN Helping Me before! I had taken His help for granted & I Had Placed The Hole In My Bag Myself 😢 I had treated His help, Lightly, as a thing as naught 😩 Since these purchases, my Etsy Shop has not seen as much business as before Thanksgiving 😢 I am sure I need to repent of this, but I am not sure how😢 Will He help me again earn the money to pay the old & new debts 😭
A parent asking their child 20 things to do. The child does 19 thing right, but the parent spends 100% of the time chiding their child on the 1 thing they did wrong and no time congratulating the 19 things rightly done.
Hi..I was wondering what happened to the ability to convert your vocals to a transcript..i used to be able to click on the three dots below the video and everything you say came up in the typed form..it was very helpful to be able to read your lecture by copying and pasting the transcript onto a document and have it to read as i studied the scripture to which it pertained...might you know why it is no longer available?..Regardless i can't thank you enough for your commentary..i have learned more from the Old Testament by referring to your podcasts than i have ever leaned in my life..i am so much looking forward to the New Testament next month...THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU BROTHER JARED..YOU ARE THE BEST!
Loved hearing your take on Halloween, I’m still chuckling over your stories. When did you start teaching at BYU? - maybe some of those wolves in professors clothing that are destroying testimonies down their could sit in some of your classes. You build faith, and testimonies instead of cutting holes in the candy bags.
I am hoping for help in understanding who is speaking in Zechariah's visions. Can anyone enlighten me as to who is "I" in "...I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH." I understand that the Lord is speaking through the angel, but isn't the BRANCH the Messiah who is the Lord?
Never apologize!! I don't mind hearing puppies or the sounds of life. Your family is wonderful to share you with us:-) You are amazing!

Same🎯😂🙏🏽
Thank you for your help with the scriptures and always being real. You are a true messenger or The Lord.
Thank you for such a great lesson, you did make it possible for me and the rest to live and appreciate more the Old Testament..
What a pleasure it is to spend time with you all be it through an electronic device! Thank you for your magnanimous efforts, and yes consecration, too!
Thank you for everything you do for us!
Jared all 200 hours was worth it!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Thank you for putting the time and effort into these. And thank your family to for I know it’s taking alot of time away from them
Without without your podcast my learning from my study of these scriptures would be minimal as I don’t know the scriptures well enough to pick out related scriptures, jewish culture, history and symbolism to be able to understand it much without your help. Thanks so much

I love listening to these lessons 👍🏻
Thank you Jarod
After much thought about my bag and my treats/treasure….some have slipped away but I will return again to recollect those treasures-
I share my treasure with my little ones and coworkers. I have see light return to the eyes of those I share my scriptures/ treasure with!
I feel like in years past I have behaved as a hurried tourist in scripture! I thank God for this new way for me to learn while I work!
I will begin something for God.
Thanks you thank you ALL!
I feel a kinship with everyone that listens and more!
I know God is rebuilding me. Thank you for this!
I thank you for giving us all of your time effort and knowledge!! I don’t know how you do it but I want you to know that you are blessing my life with these classes. Gracias de todo corazón!!🙏🏼
What you share about JESUS is what I needed to hear, even if it's 2:27::44 hours long.
❤thank you and appreciate all your hard and heartfelt efforts! God blesses you and your family!

i love the thought of sending Babylon's wickedness back.
And of changing the way we live, both religiously AND politically.
Thank you very much for your time and knowledge to share. I have had my heart changed from your discourses. I have loved every moment and have learned so much the scriptures that have brought me closer to God. Thank you so very much. God bless you!

Thank you for your time and commitment, I really love seeing how I can change a little when I hear your ideas and examples so I can understand

Tis so much very important to be real! Especially in this world 🌎🌍🌏🌐🗺️! So are Temples 🛕⛩️🏯🕍💆💆♀️💆♂️☦️⛪💒🕍🛐🤭and churches!
I love the Halloween bag analogy and used it to teach my children this principle of “consider your ways.” In the end, my 7-year-old daughter just was so sad that some poor soul didn’t bring home any candy on Halloween night😁
Excellent content value!
I love dogs and cats, wish I could have both
I can only have one pet because of my apartment place,
What a beautiful video and great information 🙂🤣❤️
17:01 I remember reading this quote on my mission back in 2013-2015 and having it really hit home. Thank you for sharing it with all of us! It is a wonderful, poignant reminder.
I hope I don't give you a big head, but I like your stuff. Watcher Palmer mentioned you on his channel, so I know I am not the only one.

Please tell us how many puppies and what breed Pppplllleeeeaaaasssseeeee
Can we see the puppies?

Zip codes🎯😂😂😂💯
I love the Halloween metaphor😂😂
I sat through the ‘Unshaken’ podcasts, I better not find myself in the telestial kingdom😂😂😂jk
I feel like I have been putting all my money in a bag with holes all my life. Every paycheck I get i cry because it's getting smaller and smaller. I thank the lord for taking care of me.

You are doing a wonderful class. I can't hear the puppies.

when I hear my cats run up and down the hall they sound like a heard of Ephellumps
When my son was learning to speak, he used the word: LUMP, for ELEPHANT. 🐘 A neighbor and friend tried to get the 10 months old to say the correct names. He purposely refused.

Where can the quote by Brigham Young about the time saving devices be found?

At minutes 40 & 41, I realized I had cheated myself & the Lord 😩
I have felt the great need to Get Out Of Debt!
The Lord has been helping me get out of debt! I only had 4 payments left, Then, Black Friday & Cyber Monday came; items I Needed & (other items I wanted for my family reunion - which I am in charge of this year), were on really good sales, so I purchased them on credit.

Will He help me again earn the money to pay the old & new debts 😭

Good morning Brother Halverson, do you by chance have the schedule for the New Testament for 2023? Lols I do not want to miss it.

Show us a puppy!
Yes!!! That would be so fun to see a puppy or two!!!

1st
What kind of puppies? Do they accept visitors??
I just watched a man claim to speak of the Lord while expressing his udder enjoyment for a pagan holiday.. talk about holes in the bag
27:07 🤣🤣🤣
