Again, I have gained more from your lesson of the Olive Tree than I ever did in seminary or other classes. I am so thankful for the privilege of finding you in my come follow me search of the scriptures. I have recently gone through another bout of beating myself up. Asking the Lord to forgive me for losing three of his sons. I've been pleading the same prayer for almost 30 years. Your lesson added so much comfort and peace to the comfort and peace that I got when praying this last time about our sons. This time, I had the impression come that told me," You still have a thousand years."We still have our 2nd son that is true and faithful, but the others almost 4yrs. ago when my husband passed won't have anything to do with me. They don't think it is right that I pay tithing or waist my time going to the Temple. I have so much to be thankful for I can't deny what I know to be true. Thanks
you again and again for your time and efforts in helping to build my Testimony even stronger. May the Lord continue to bless you and your family with your needs and your Testimonies.
Sweet Sister, hold to the rod. The Lord has not lost your sons. In His time He will return them to you. I know your pain, but we must keep building and strengthening our testimonies. Conference, with all the talks on covenants and temples, should give you hope. Hope in Christ, hope in the waiting, where so much can happen. Blessings to you.
Trust in God’s patience
Trust in Gods process
Trust in God’s promises
Hope on… trust on…
God’s got them….
Even though they turned from him… “YET THEY MAY” TURN BACK…
HE NEVER GIVES UP! ❤️
I found you 4 years ago when I was going through my shaken time.
I was so close to leaving the church when I found your channel and opened the Book of Mormon.
Thank you for 4 wonderful years of studying together and I hope there are many more to come!
I'm so glad you're here to stay! PTL. 🙏

Happy Birthday!!!
Best 4 years ever!!
It is refreshing to experience your podcasts such a balanced approach to the scriptures! Each lesson leaves me with a hunger to delve into the word of the Lord in both ancient and modern scriptures, and in the words of our Prophets, Seers and Revelators!
I LOVE the verse by verse!
Happy birthday to you! I am not the same person I was when we started. My testimony is stronger, deeper and wiser. I know my savior more than I ever have!❤
I agree. I’m si grateful I found rhis channel. Happy wonderful 4 years.
Me as well!! Not the same spiritual depth - much much deeper foundation thanks to Bro Hal!
I don't want a break from your teaching.
Brother Halverson, I Pray I can adequately express the feelings I have in my heart! I have been with you almost, since the beginning!!! I was sososo sick and I needed to move to Salem. I didn’t know anyone at first and I was so desperate to stay close to my Savior. I need help in my Soul and heart. A friend mentioned you to me and I was able to find you on RUclips. I was beyond grateful for you and your long long lesson LOL! Every week I longed to find you for our next lesson! You have taught me so much. I could never express the Love and gratitude I have for you. I Pray for you, your beautiful wife and your family!!! Thank you for staying with us. I have so much to learn. May our Father wrap You and Your Family in his Arms and protect you all. With so much gratitude and thankfulness I Love you. Sister Vicky Broadwater ❤
Thank you Sister I echo you feelings, amen.
So so grateful! I’m coming 83 this year, a convert with much thanks to a member friend who brought me a Book of Mormon while I was in the hospital after a horse rolled on top of me51 years ago. I’m so grateful to be able to still go to the temple and help with his vineyard on the other side of the veil Thank you BrotherHalverson for sharing your wonderful gift with us. I like the slower speaking pace best. For me it helps mtake in the impressions of the Holy Gohst more easily. Thank you and have a wonderful time with new adventures.
I'm so glad you found the gospel and were lead here! Thank you for your beautiful testimony. Praise the Lord that we are on the path, pressing forward together.
God Bless!💛
I, too, had a severe equestrian accident, and haven't met someone else with a similar situation. I apologize this is long. I wound up life-flighted with a tbi, skull fracture, bone fragments on my brain, & my left ear dangling by a piece of skin.
Yet, miracles & blessings I've received are beyond the expectations of my medical & therapeutic team.
I lived! As of 2018, I can walk and talk, think, and my thinking is clearing. I can hear out of that ear, my plastic surgeon reattached my ear, and you can hardly tell it's slightly different from the other. My handwriting has returned to normal & my personality is the same (according to family & friends.
I am almost back to my percussion instrumental music abilities. Still trying to regain my piano proficiency, no longer able to play for sacrament, primary, accompanying vocalists & sightreading. I'm trying.
On occasion, balance is an issue but tai chi is helping.
Heavenly Father has been good to me. My medical team is still in awe and agree it's rare & must be of God.
When I found Bro. Hal, it sure helped my understanding when reading comprehension was realigning. He & Heavenly Father have blessed you, too! Thank you for sharing!
Jared you crack me up.. camera and brain don’t work at the same time when in the same room.😂😂
You are AWESOME. I found you last year and you joined me in my garden daily and I so enjoy your RAWNESS, knowledge, spirit in which you teach, great way you help me understand things I don’t comprehend, explain AWAY. I (we) NEED IT ALL!!👏🙏👍
Amen!
Have to say... instead of "bad equipment"... "amateur equipment." We've all grown... I am so, so grateful. 😊
Thank you so much for your beautiful lessons, thank you for continuing.
We have been with you for 4 years.
We belong to the Saints who can’t get enough of listening to you.
Thank you so very very much for all your time and effort.
Thank you Brother Halverson for your service to us all♥️
Please never stop doing what you are doing. You are making reading the Book of Mormon so much clearer to me. God bless you and keep you inspired so you can continue in helping thousands and thousands become closer to God. Thank you and may God bless you always.
I have learned so much from your lessons. May God bless you and your family for all of your sacrifices for those of us who need to hear the words of our God.
I have never loved reading Jacob 5 like the rest of the Book of Mormon until today! Thank you for explaining it so beautifully! Thank you for your service to us by doing these recordings!
I have been studying with you for all four years. I’ve learned SO much! Thank you, Brother Halverson!
Brother Halverson, Your lessons are helping me become more able to stay unshaken!
Me, too!
So glad you had at least this one more lesson doing verse by verse and with the "tender mercies of the Lord" it happened to be this one, Jacob 5!!!!! Thank you so much. I for one will miss the v to v but things must change and we are here to accept that and move forward. See you next week in your new "home."
Nicely said.
I agree! 💛
WOWZER, Fabulous lesson, and yes, I made it to the end! 😊 Do I trust the Lord of the Vineyard? Absolutely, with all my heart! Now going to get my gardening tools to help w the growth of the good fruit! THANK YOU!❤❤❤
I love this Chapter of Jacob - it's a love letter from the Lord! A wonderful description of devotion and energy in developing us into the fruit we can become as we heed the prophets, and trust in His timing and power. My heart melts with the love and dedication of the Lord in my life! Thank you so much for this beautiful presentation with the 4 senses. I thoroughly enjoyed it!❤❤❤
Beautifully said. ❤
i have been watching you for 4 years and i will keep wayching for as long as you are able to give of your time you have helped me so muchmay god continue to bless youin your desire to bless others THANK YOU
YOU are the BEST BIRTHDAY GIFT EVER!!! Been with you since the beginning…and NEVER want you to end. Longer is better. Lol.

Agreed!
I agree.
Exactly😊
Agreed!!❤😊
Thank you for all your lessons. You can do it as long as you want to.
Happy birthday. Thanks for all you do.
Love these lessons I have listened for 3 + years
Brother Halverson--you made this one time seemingly jumble of scripture come to life for me. I'm forever grateful for your knowledge and your willingness to share it by the spirit!
That was the best history lesson I've ever had! Thank you so much! Jacob 5 will be a favorite from now on I believe. 😊
Thank you for these past 4 years! They have been a life saver for me. I never want to stop feasting on the scriptures! I hope I can enjoy the appetizers with you and move on to the main meal by myself. We'll see how it goes. I do try to read ahead of you sometimes to see if I can figure out what I should underline based on what you have red lettered. Sometimes I get it and sometimes I don't but I'm learning.
WE MADE IT 4 YEARS!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It’s been an enlightening journey with you and I’ve enjoyed learning more depth to the scriptures than I had known before.❤
An answer to prayers! I am so so happy you will be continuing on. Thank You
Congrats on 100k subscribers! Imagine how many have been nurtured and fed by your work
Thank you! From Wenatchee WA! Ur lessons are the highlight of my week!
Finally I’m getting the allegory of the tame and wild olive trees. ❤
Thanks you I have been with you for 3 years now and I love 😍 it
Try studying this while having an eclipse. With finally the moon blotting out the sun and it is pretty dark. Also think of how GOD feels knowing that it is or will not be right until the end.
Thank you for all the time you spend in our behave. May the LORD bless you always.
I am so thankful that you went verse by verse for Jacob 5. It is difficult to realize that my family is the allegory of the olive tree.
I love your videos so much. I would say do as the Spirit moves you.❤
Thank you for your sacrifice, i love other podcats to, but yours brings incredible insight, such a help with scripture study. Thank you
Stay, I don't care how long..I love that you cover all
I've been here from day 1
He had me at hello! I love his teachings❤️
You have started something amazing. Many new podcasts on scripture but we always come back to you. Thank you 😊
I LOVE YOUR LESSONS whether they are an hour or even longer. I would prefer that you really dive into each verse. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into these lessons. As I study with you, I feel the spirit and know it blesses my life to help me make good decisions. And, well, when I don’t make a good decision, the lessons help me see the eternal perspective and realize it’s okay to make mistakes. ❤❤❤
It’s been four amazing years! I am so grateful and so blessed to find you in 2020. I study with you everyday. I am not the same person I was four years ago! My testimony has grown so much! Thanks for all the time, your sacrifices and for teaching us verse by verse! That’s the way most of us understand the scriptures best!! I’m glad these will always be here to watch again and again. Each time I learn more. You are always in my prayers. I am eternally grateful and thankful for you! Love, Sister Judy Cook (California & Michigan)
We just had General Conference, wondering if President Nelson is feeling any of the allegory.
Lord let me just try one more time, maybe this time they will hear your words. Let’s just try
Fantastic, was looking forward to Jacob 5
Thank you❤❤❤❤❤
Continue!!!!!! ❤
You help me know and understand the scriptures and the prophets in the Book of Mormon much more than I would on my own. Thank you for doing this. I really appreciate your insights and the beautiful spirit you have and bring to these lessons.
With love from the UK for the fantastic theological feasts I have had over the last three years. Thank you for your devotion, effort, and inspiration. As a secondary A' level teacher, I appreciate how time-consuming it takes to prepare lessons of that calibre. I am certain that I'll enjoy the new format of your lessons. However, substance and content always trumps sophistication and presentation.
I found you in 2020! I am So Grateful for your service on this journey through the scriptures and in life.
Thank you, brother Halverson. You are an amazing teacher. You have helped me see the people in this book. You're doing a great job. Keep up the amazing work you do. I thank your family too, thank you for the time that he is away from you. Time is the most important thing. You can never get it back. So spend it wisely. I hope I get to meet you one day. I would really like to traid stories.
Thank you Brother Halverson,
you have helped me learn to love this amazing scripture

I’m from the Philippines and I have witnessed how President Oaks emphasized “Gospel Culture” during those times.❤
Shout out from a former Seminary student from Lone Peak. Thanks for doing this,
I wish I would have found you 4 years ago. I just found you last year
"The hardest thing about correcting is not overcorrecting... Temper your zeal with patience. Reign in your dligence with temperance. That's what Alma taught Shiblon." Great reflection for converts, thank you.
Thank you for each video, year.
It's up to you and everyone else where you want to take the next steps and journey in teaching everyone.
Just please don't let family and wife fall behind I'm the way side...
I enjoy each lesson
I trust your judgment in teaching ♥️ 📖🙏 2:43
Yay! I didn’t find you until your faith is a seed lesson, but I love your lessons!
Super helpful! Thanks so much!
I gained enormous insight from this video; for me it finally helped me understand the relation between agency and God's plan for me.
Please don't change it up too much; I love these lessons!
I learn SO much from your lessons! Thank you brother 😁 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Haha! I wonder what the Lord thinks about being "short change"? I think to many want the 'shorter route'. Personally I enjoy the longer lessons/discussions. Especially when it allows me to break it down thru the week. Great job, no short cuts please!
Thank you Jared, that was good!
We love your lessons! I just heard on 52 Churches 52 Weeks, you were his favorite and most impactful speaker at the Book of Mormon rally at the Community of Christ church. He was baptized 2 weeks ago.
What you were saying about "clearing out the bad as fast as t the good shall grow" reminds me of the parable of the evil spirits being cast out and returning again after the house had been "swept and garnished" in Matt. 12:43-45.
Thanks from a newby.
So beautiful.
There's a great book by an LDS author that shows that there is perfect harmony between the prophetic statements concerning the garden of Eden being in Missouri and the Old Testament account concerning the garden of Eden. It's called Canaan, Babylon, and Egypt A Comparative Theological Analysis on Creation sold by Eborn Books.
I needed your portion about "Clearing Away The Bad" i sometimes struggle there too.
*often
Re living by a river and praying for rain: Do we, as Latter-day Saints, live by the river of God's revelations and get lazy about praying for the rain of personal inspiration?
Love it. Thank you very much😍👏
Dear Prof Jared,
By the date and where I am in our scripture study, that I lag behind; but I take the liberty of shielding behind my age (84) and my concentration level for some sympathy ?
I confess that in the past, Jacob 5 has been THE most difficult piece of scripture for me to understand. However, when we came thus far, I must say I did so with a great big sigh of "oh no, here we go again!" Then, your most wonderful manner of teaching, and enthusiasm for a passage I found absolutely incomprehensible, helped me understand SO much - when you explained through metaphorical, allegorical and anagogical means the wonder of the revelations which Zenos and the Prophet Joseph received to help us understand the fullness of the

“Starting next week, they’ll be about an hour.” Yeah right.
Congrats Jared.
You have time to go see the Firm Foundation or Ron Meldrum, and everyone there giving talks or lectures on the view of the Heartland Model. I think it's next weekend there in your area.
I just can’t say how much I have learned from your videos. I have enjoyed every moment and I do intend to listen to the “old” along with the new.
It would be interesting to make a comparison of the Allegory of the Olive Tree and other latter day prophecies.
Reverlation 7: 2 & 3
"2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, 3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads."
Because Joseph Smith Jr is the head of the dispensation of the fullness of time, I suspect that he most likely is this angel. And he is probably the servant in the allegory of the vineyard that suggests to the Lord of the Vineyard to not burn the vineyard just yet, but to labour again for one more last time, before the vineyard burned.
Love every word! I learn so much. ALMOST. Jacob 5:47 -- Is there significance that the Lord of the vineyard says that he stretched forth his hand ALMOST all the day long? Something to ponder? I almost won the race. I almost ringed the horseshoe. I almost got a 4.0 grade...etc. Why would HE say almost?
I had another thought...He said almost because his work was almost done, but not quite.
I see it as- like a parent says…
I “practically” did your whole homework myself… “all but” giving you all the answers… ( he “all but “ helped the vineyard all day long…) the branches/roots needed “a space of time” to choose…good or bad choices-
So he couldn’t help in ALL THINGS… or he would have robbed AGENCY-
I can’t help but think that President Nelson wants us to be good fruit and he feels and wants to work with us one more time, talk to us one more time, persuade us one more time.
Hey,there's a bookId called Jacob 5
How do I access the archives of our Church App
Please let me understand how
Im need to understand for dummies ❤😂 7:40
I have enjoyed watching and learning from your videos. I was able to watch this video, ruclips.net/video/bFkoueDsV4M/видео.htmlsi=xP-SObcIFl85opFy the Church put out on this chapter in the book of Jacob. I am not sure if you have watched the video. Thank you for what you do.
I love the look of your home room
Your daughter's painting and you could copy some pictures add in the New Room
Wear your White shirts if you want to... 3:06
I am the servant. I am the roots. My family is the vineyard.
Why is the olive grove in Jacob 5 called a vineyard instead of a grove?
I laughed at the fruit salad 😂
1.75 speed my brother :)
sealing in the temple, the garner of God. parallel to Christ rending the veil that we may enter there.
laying up fruits against the season as a parallel to bringing us into God's presence that we may be gardeners ourselves.
and thus all is one eternal round and his plan is perfect for by Christ AND Temple together are all these things made possible. By Christ and the Church. A man and his wife. There is no other way for perpetual increase, for eternal life.
You can stay with the scriptures but lighten the load on backstory of your process and object lessons, maybe just 1 or 2.
Counsel? Perhaps more, plead?
I don't think the lord of the Vinyard was introspective when he was asking "what could I have done more?" I believe it was more rhetorical , as he was speaking with the servant. Letting the servant know that he had done everything and then allowing the servant to choose how to respond. The lord always does everything he can, while allowing our agency.
this is what you call feasting upon the words of Christ lol
God never pick ⛏️⚒️ s favorites in general at all under any circumstances either 😂🤣😄🤓😎!❤😂🎉😅😊! 45:46
It's also don't overask questions in general at all under any circumstances 🤠☺️😙🐱! Because when you overask questions to people in general, you can 🥫 really hurt 🤕😷🤢🤮😈👿👹👺 those people and then you're in real trouble with the law and God Jesus Christ Heavenly Mother Holy Spirit Heavenly Angels 😇🙏🏿👼🏿⛪👍🏿 for your overasking people questions! 2:20:28
I enjoy your program, but Why so much swallowing?
He's humble
My daughter married a Muslim. She has a testimony of the gospel, she has read the Book of Mormon. She is reading the Quran and is wondering if the Lord that they are speaking about is Jesus Christ or God the Father.
I don’t believe the Lord second guessed Himself. Nephi had seen the destruction of his people. The Lord knew it was going to happen. He weeps at our bad choices even when He knows they are coming because He loves us.
