I so appreciated the comments about pruning programs or procedures out of the church, or habits and favorite sins out of our lives. It's all about what is good, what is better, and what is best and essential. This is something I've needed reminding of lately, and this lesson combined with General Conference has helped me refocus my aim and strivings in my day-to-day life. Thanks, brother. 💛 P.S. Thanks, too, for the thumbnail title. I *had* skipped Jacob 5, as had all of my family except our seminary students!!! 😁
Thank you Brother Tyler…I find it easy to follow and listen to you. You are an amazing teacher! Thank you for all the study and prep work you have to do to make this clear to us..
I honestly I am so touch, this lesson has open my eyes and so many ways. To be able to see that we can be the olive tree but we can also be the servant. Thank you for the lesson.
Once again, I felt the edifying and inspiring lesson dear and respected brother Griffin. You are the best teacher I have known in more than 40 years. 😊
My favorite part of your podcast is when you say “Know that you’re loved”. Thank you for including that every time - it has meant so much to me personally
Thanks for helping to understand this chapter of Jacob i was reading the book of Mormón many years and finally I feel the spirit and understanding this chapter 5 thanks share your knowledge blessings for you and your family ❤❤
Thank you for one of the most meaningful sessions I have heard. I am working with family members that are not members of the Church but are seeking truth, light and understanding of Christ's message. This session has given me such insight and faith and trust how to pray for as well as approach my loved ones and as you said "work with the Lord & seek His counsel" as I move forward in my conversations WITH them and my prayers FOR them. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
You are such a gifted teacher who knows just the right words and ideas to help me understand and internalize the teachings and plans of God. This was a lesson that needs study and work!
Thank you Bro Griffin, I love watching your presentations. I feel very lucky to have you as our teacher. Everyday I am appreciative of all your time and efforts. I am grateful to the wonderful and amazing team at SC for making this all possible. ❤.
I am so glad I listen to this because I understand that chapter on the the allegory of the olive trees, so much better than I ever have before. Thank you so much! As usual, I have been fed well.
Loves this segment a lot. You really put it in a way that is relatable and applicable. Great lesson and reminder for us in our day of our responsibility and faithfulness to the Lord.

Bro. Griffin, I enjoyed the insights you've discussed in this video. I was being reminded to follow up names who have been recommended to serve our Ward members in Sunday School classes.❤
Thank you for explaining Jacob 5. I have read and reread that chapter. It was so confusing to me. I have listen to others explain it but it just wasnt clear to me. with your help I can understand it much better. Thank you again! Hugs Sister Elaine G.
Tyler, great video! Thank you very much for your commentary your witness at the end was very spirit filled.....bless you for making these videos! Your last words...know that you are loved, I felt those words to my core!!
Thank you for always pointing the lessons to a personal application ❤ It helps me understand more deeply the scriptures as more than just inspiring stories but truly meant for me to learn from today
I always find listening to and reading Jacob 5 very interesting and I love to analyze and write so recently, just recently I thought I'm going to write an analyze this and here's this video
Christ said that He is the vine and we are the branches. We need to produce good fruit or the branch (which we are) will be cut off and burned. When I joined the church and read Jacob 5, I was impressed by the allegory of Zenos and how it fit with the New Testament words of Christ that meant so much to me. Thank you, Brother Griffin!
I absolutely loved this lesson! Helped me see it from a different perspective and gave me a deeper understanding and appreciation of the chapter that was boring to me lol thank you ❤
Be Still my Heart, thank you ✨️ your insights into the Word of God is Outstanding, and provides me a deeper understanding of the TRUTHS. I appreciate WHO YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO BE 💥 KEEP ON KEEPING ON 🥰
Thank you so much Brother! I actually enjoyed learning and hearing about Jacob chapter 5- who h hasn’t always been the case for me. I particularly appreciated the insight that there are or can be numerous meanings to the allegory-that was/is very helpful. I look forward to studying it this morning on my own after all that you have shared and look forward to what the Holy Ghost will bring to my mind and soul❤ Thank you
It was another great presentation as over the years of trying to "get it" I think I have finally "got it." At least a little better so thank you for clarity in your presentations. I do have a question In Jacob 5:49-50. This is one of those times when the Master of the Vineyard says, "Let us go to and hew down the trees of the vineyard and cast them into the fire, that they shall not cumber the ground of my vineyard, for I have done all. What could I have done more for my vineyard?" Now if the Master of the Vineyard is speaking (which is Jesus Christ) to the servant (which is a prophet or missionary, etc), it sounds like Jesus is giving up on all the trees (people-House of Israel), and it is the servant who says, "Spare it a little longer." and the Lord does spare them . But I would have thought it would have been the other way around that maybe the servant would have said to cut all the trees and burn them and the Lord saying "let's spare them a little longer." Any thoughts on that? I would not have thought the Lord would have given up on His people. He said He would never do that. Just curious.
😅l trying to understand that cutting the tree down part, because I cut my orange tree down to almost root and now it’s an orange bush, but still hasn’t produced any fruit. So when I cut it down it grew a ton more branches but no fruit.
Their is a lot of symbolism and truths in this chapter. In this chapter there is the spot of land that is the most choice above all. Yet despite this the fruit that comes from the tree only half is good and the other half is evil. There is parallel in this fact. Lehi and his family left Jerusalem to come to a land promised to them. A land choice above all others. The Americas. The USA is indeed blessed with abundant minerals and resources. Prior to the revolutionary war Fredrick Bastia, John Lock, Cicero and other inspired thinks influenced the founding fathers with a system of government that would open the way for religious freedom and a means for the restoration of the gospel to come forth. At the restoration you had opposition right away. With Lehi and his family you had an immediate opposition from Laman and Lemuel. This choice spot of land has perfectly prophesied concerning the Americas. Half good half evil, but this is not the end of the parable. Read for yourself and see the parallels to our day.
There are problems even contradictions in this chapter. Who can explain them without making some kind of excuse for them? Look at verses 8 and 11. And verses 26 and 44 for a couple of examples.

I find it interesting that the most rewatched parts of these videos are when you bear your testimony. Keep up the wonderful work!
Thank you. This is the first time I have been able to liken this allegory to me and my life not just Israel. Thank you
Excellent once again! Thank you.

Did all 3 groups Apostatize and will the 4th one Apostatize as well?
Who is the servant in Jacob 5 and how do you know?

It would go better to engage the scripture directly a lot SOONER.
