Last night I prayed that the lord would help me see. To help me see my way home. Today is the first time in a long time I haven’t given into my addiction. I never thought I could do that again. Ever. Without the lords help it isn’t possible for me. And to reassure me more he blessed me with your lesson. It felt so personal and has blessed me today. Thank you!

[@raphaelmordo3022]

Hang in there brother! Keep holding on and if you slip know that the Lord loves you, He really loves you from the depths of His heart! He is right there with you in any falls and available for you to reach out and together pull yourself back up. There is no end, don’t let Satan lie to you that you are not worth it and you e fallen too many times! Take care my friend!

[@little-miss-happy]

You just keep holding on- every experience can teach us - I pray you can overcome! Lean on him!

[@ScottsChristmasChannel]

as a recovering addict ( I don't feel that I am at the point of recovered addict ) I know the Lord will help you and bless you with His strength. I also encourage you to check into the Church's Addiction Recovery Program if you have not already done so. The structure and support are wonderful, powerful and most of all spiritual. May God bless you.

[@newmanhoverd206]

God bless you ❤

[@margaretcarr7672]

We all are addicted to something! But we here on earth chose Jesus Christ's plan so we, in my opinion and experience, have power over Satan. We have a marvelous body... something he will never ever have. Bro. pat yourself on the back for the courage it took for you to choose Christ. Now, never forget your first act of courage and faith. YOU DID THAT, YES Y O U. Now, put on the whole armor of God. You are ready to face your fears arm in arm with the rest of us. Jesus is at the helm, with our beloved Prophet Russell M. Nelson guiding us along the Covenant Path!!!

[@jacobrosscastle8462]

FEEDBACK TIME: :) Please add back the chapters in the sliding time bar at the bottom of the videos. Makes it much easier to go back and find topics that were discussed.

[@sarahhaman35]

Please don’t ever worry about the time you take. Short or long, your lessons are worth every minute!

[@Kalamabbfan]

Your Johari Window brought this saying to mind: He who knows not, and knows not he knows not, is a fool; shun him. He who knows not, and knows he knows not, is simple; teach him. He who knows, and knows not he knows, is asleep; awaken him. He who knows, and knows he knows, is wise; follow him. Wise words indeed.

[@jonwalz5988]

I'm a big picture guy, an observer of the universe. One of my greatest joys is to learn something new. That happened over and over in this podcast. Thank you, Jared, you made my day!!

[@amyjo4367]

Ditto. Always! Thank you brother Halverson! 🙏❤😇

[@jonwalz5988]

In explaining Hansen's law and then applying it to Church membership/spiritual, I came to understand how important it could be for Grandparents to be example to their grandchildren and also to serve a Senior Mission.

[@vicky072054]

I love your long talks!!!!! I love every word out of your mouth! I have learned so much in the last three years than in all 60 years of my life!

[@TheSusi1211]

Agreed!

Thank you SO much for taking the feedback. It’s so great to have you back in the light, looking at us and without the microphone. The new set is beautiful.

Grateful for an understanding of how to understand what is happening to some of my children and their faith crisis. Thank you!

[@KarenTaylorLDS]

I don't give a crap about the lighting, sound, esthetics, whatever! I gain so much from your words that nothing else matters. Thank you for your insights and expertise. I hope and pray you don't ever "lose the faith!" We (Church members) need all the strong members possible in these last days! Keep up the good work.

[@WegottaLovett]

Totally agree with you!

[@lvsbirdies]

You are correct. It wasn't meant to be a slight just an insight. I absolutely love the spiritual content and feeling I get from brother Halverson.

[@anniemarie84604]

I love that for you! I find that it’s important to also be respectful of those who felt great distraction and loss from the changes. Either way it’s such a blessing to have this podcast!

[@loisleonard9436]

I hate it when people leave the ward.... Practically refuse to let them go. It leaves such a huge hole....and if they have kids....Even worse!

I want to see you celebrate 100k subs Bro Hal! We are as the army of Halverson…

[@apet1712]

Jared I certainly agree we should humbly and sincerely listen to the “why” of the stories of those who have left the gospel, I hear this guidance and talk alot from leaders like yourself, however having had a husband leave who said he wanted these kind of conversations yet he was unkind, persecuting, angry and not humble in listening to and respecting me and my choice to stay. I just think we should be careful with healthy boundaries. Yes we should listen to and try to understand others, but not at the cost of verbal and emotional abuse to ourselves and thinking we have to endure that. It goes both ways.

[@ryanriveland6850]

My wholeheartedly agree with you! I have had so many conversations with loved ones who are so angry and bitter and vindictive- we asked her there’s side of the story to share their feelings, very clear, but they were not interested in anything I had to say at all, but instead (As the one-sided conversation continued, without me being allowed to say one word whatsoever) with each word they continue to speak- their words digressed further and further into an angry hateful, bitter personal attack upon me and everything I hold sacred. These individuals were not at all interested in hearing/listening to anything I might have to say or share with them- Because after completely dominating the conversation (where much distorted gaslighting and twisted manipulation of the truth was employed) I was not allowed to speak and any further “conversation?” was clearly over because they stormed out of the room, and I was essentially prevented from having any/all further conversation with them because they refused to have any further association with me to the point where I was even “blocked” on their cellphones! (Unless they needed my help and/or they wanted some favor from me-or wanted to again emotionally/spiritually abuse me with their angry hateful diatribes where they blame me and others for all of their problems-never accepting any personal accountability!). I find this to be more frequently true just affected members who have not only chosen to leave the church- But have also abandoned their beliefs in Jesus Christ -and are prone to using the reasons they give for their disaffection-as an excuse to now abandon previous moral beliefs and to break sacred covenants. 40:06

[@istj509]

Bro Halvorsen, I love the new set! As always, your lessons are stellar. You have a gift. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world and strengthening our faith. I especially appreciate your words of support for those of us who have loved ones who have left. Please thank your wife and children for sacrificing time with you so you can teach us.

[@terrishields1757]

I am so grateful to have found your podcast--I have learned so much from you. I have an adult family member who has left the Church and is a self-proclaimed apostate along with a Bishop who quit his calling and the Church from the pulpit...and taking many along with them. You have pointed out that we still (hopefully) our testimony of Jesus Christ in common. I spoke to a younger family member who is beginning to follow his uncle. I love him and didn't know what to say to him. I visited with him a few weeks ago and, after small-talk, told him that I love him and hope he continues to build his faith in Jesus Christ. The Spirit gave me the courage to do that, in fact, I was saying it without forethought. You helped me realize the importance of focusing on the Savior in such situations and building on common ground.

[@debiearle2835]

Wow! That just sounds crazy. I can’t imagine watching that happen. That’s heartbreaking he made that decision and so many are following. 😢

[@hannahdavid3279]

+Terri You are a member of that ward? I saw his resignation on youtube, how emotionally heartbreaking how brave and honest to be able to stand in front of his brethren, to let them know some what instead of leaving them to wonder and just be sad and miss him.

[@donnakearse2503]

Thank you so much for helping me understand the scriptures.

[@karinayarn7589]

If I may make a suggestion/request. Could you insert markers at the start of each chapter? That would be so helpful for those of us who watch you on KZbin. I tend to start and stop the video, and knowing where each chapter break is would be super helpful. Thank you for all you do. Your videos have been a HUGE blessing.

[@pammcewen3512]

Love the podcast! Could you please add the subject for each time frame, like you did prior to the new format? There are times I want to go back and relisten to certain parts of the podcast. Thank you!

[@lidiatoscano5334]

I have no delusion that just because I am active in the Church and enjoy my activity that I am sinless and better than other people. As you have mentioned before, any sin whatsoever makes us unclean to be in the presence of God and there is none sinless except one: Jesus. I am trying hard to "know" the Savior and his grace that he may extend it to me in the end. Love you lessons!

[@AnaliliB]

Thank you, Brother Halverson! I enjoyed your lecture.

[@evajackson9470]

Thank you there is no other book like the Book of Mormon

[@martinsvoboda125]

There Is. The Bible.

[@j.danielmarshall9791]

Jared, this was excellent! The way we tend to think we are right and that the other side is wrong. Often both sides are right in someways and wrong in other ways. We need to reach out to others that have different views than we have.we need to reach out in kindness, charity, and love. We need to not be so quick to find fault in other peoples viewpoints. We need to listen with love and compassion. We need to be open-minded to the views of others. We don’t have to compromise our values, but we can show love And consideration. Thank you very much for this wonderful lesson.

[@kristenthompson962]

Audio is much better today

[@liztrefry3279]

I appreciate your lessons and testimony so much. You have brought the scriptures alive for me. Thank you!

[@karenshaw2093]

It has totally caught my attention when you bring up contraries, when you discuss Orthodoxy/Harmony in all the themes, examples, scriptures, life, among other churches and especially within our own Church of Jesus Christ. Ages ago when you first began bringing them up, I couldn’t quite understand, but now I am immersed in the new thoughts they engender. They have broadened my understanding in a way like never before. I’m still learning, but I hope to be able to think them through with confidence myself someday. I belief it will strengthen my testimony when I can master that. I also love it every time you talk about faith crises and your contact and communication with those experiencing it. And I love the compassion you express at all times, as well as the answers you give though they may be opposite the views expressed by these people. This has served to broaden my own thinking and willingness to listen and weigh other ideas. Thank you.

[@Muzzy2024]

Gonna listen to this oooh probably bout FIFTEEN more times!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@xrpreacher6000]

Translation and revelation being in the same pipeline of theological understanding just blew my mind! Translation of scriptures via revelation may look very similar to our own personal translation (thinking along the lines of the city of Enoch/Zion ) taking place through the personal revelation we seek from having the Lord's Spirit always with us. No wonder President Nelson is encouraging us to have the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost. No wonder he's emphasizing Temple Covenants and progressing along the covenant path. I sincerely feel myself being lifted as I heed the words of the Prophet, then heed the words spoken to my heart and mind from the Spirit, and then testify through love of what taking place within my heart and mind. My very nature is being changed. ❤️

This was so well said! Thank you! I have often OFTEN felt the same 🙏🏻💙🙏🏻

Amazing lesson Brother Halverson and the connection to our day. Thank you

[@teresamunn192]

You have been blessed with the gift of compassionate communication and understanding. I struggle putting my feelings into words and fear that my ability to remember the principles and doctrines I know won't come to me in the times I desire them. The lesson you gave about the acronym FEAST has become my goal for this year as I read, study and ponder the scriptures. Thank you so much for your insight, time, dedication, and desires to teach the doctrines of the gospel. I love your insights!

[@Muzzy2024]

Shoot! I missed it! What is FEAST?

[@r.m.morison2636]

I’ve seen Hansen’s Law in my own family on my mom’s side, though we’ve been in the United States since the pilgrims, but more in the sense of the gospel, as my grandparents were the first to join the church and now I and my cousins are the third generation in the church, trying to find our own ways, with all the examples we have laid before us.

[@lesley4215]

I actually really love these chapters. I appreciate the story parts of the BoM and the opportunity to connect with the people and kind of feel where they're at, as always thank you so much!❤

[@1shigeru]

This lesson is by far one of the best you have ever shared! (And you have shared MANY great lessons so far). So much wonderful, thought-provoking, and well-presented topics that I had never seen in previous studies of this part of the Book of Mormon but SO applicable to the circumstances of OUR day. As always thank-you Brother Jared for allowing the Spirit to testify to me of these new insights. I will be forever grateful to you and the Lord. Here are my 3 words for this week's Come Follow Me lesson. See-er, Orthodoxy and Harmony (Let us all SEE the need for the balancing of contraries in Orthodoxy and Harmony and come together as one.

[@MargeneGorringe]

When my husband and I served in the Philippines, there was 85% inactivity. I think the main reason was, they came from a Catholic background. They didn’t need to do anything in the Catholic Church except go once in a while. In the Mormon church, they were expected to do a lot. This was very hard for them.

[@suebrown3194]

Time stamps would be helpful. And links to the older videos. I like to take these discussions "verse by verse," a half hour or so every day. That gives me time to ponder what's been shared before moving on to the next concept. Glad to see you back in the rolled up sleeves and tie. 😊 A lighter, brighter set would make me happy too.

[@noskalborg723]

Even now i struggle with sin from loss of hope. And i got here from making excuses for good in dark places. Most importantly i lost worthiness because i made time for babylon's fictions, but not for God's scriptures. No matter how good my intentions and discernment, it was not enough to bring the daily resistance i needed for everything the devil threw at me from everywhere.

[@alicewongham3541]

Yeah, me too! I find it harder on my eyes as well. I used to think Bro Halverson has the best text to read out of all the different Come Follow Me channels that I watch. I hope we can go back to original format as well. 🤞 But I certainly still love listening to the lessons. Still look forward to every Wednesday when they get posted. So grateful for all the time and expertise put into produce every video! Gives me the much-needed weekly edification. Thank you to FM for helping Brother Halverson that he can have a little more time to himself.

💯💔❤️‍🩹 I’m with you. I feel we are all praying with desperate hope and compassion for our beautiful children, mates, loved ones. So many tears of feeling helpless and being the witness of their choices, KNOWING we can’t spare them the consequences of real regret and devastating loss. I stand with you in firm belief that they are absolutely 💯 in God’s Hands, but also knowing how much it helps those standing on the side to hold each others hands in love and faith. I’m here. Talk to me if you wish. I’m a safe place🩵

[@reniewilliams5646]

It is too painful for me to talk to my kids about why they left but your videos are helping me.

[@deboraescalante6172]

We need ALL the details !! knowing and understanding the details is your gift. Please share them all,as much as you can. If my mind was blessed with this ability I wouldn’t have had to follow you for 4 years ! Lol

[@xrpreacher6000]

I agree! He is so gifted! At the same time, I truly believe the Lord is calling us to learn and earn this gift through individual personal study in addition to hearing gifted brothers and sisters like Brother Jared Halverson, or Sister Emily Belle-Freeman. I agree we need teachers like the both of them, but it's ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE, to read on my own first, and then listen to brother Halverson to compare and contrast what I'm able to get out of it on my own, vs. what I need help in understanding. It definitely hastens my understanding even more by doing both. The Spirit guides me stronger individually when I do both and accompany it all with prayer. God bless you! Don't forget, any person can also go back and listen to the more detailed version of the same chapters from 4 years ago that he already has recorded. What a BLESSING!!!

[@zillmanelle6013]

Where do I find the expanded lesson he did earlier?

[@LTZ3321]

Good stuff! One of your most applicable to now.

[@JacquelineHarrison-ix4ik]

I’m so grateful for everything you teach, share and explain especially for eternal truths and the compassion, empathy and love you have for others not of our faith. As far as the new format I preferred when sharing scriptures that you used blues and yellows. The black white and especially red are harsh and the red difficult to see with the bold face. The yellow previous didn’t give s tone of harshness (as the scriptures are often a message of hope) and I see how warnings can be in red but not all highlights. The message is what is most importnat I just wouldn’t want others to not see or feel the scriptures because the colors are off putting and seem harsh. Since you mentioned to give feedback that would be my only suggestion.

[@fortemediagroup1891]

I love ever bit of the content. I do like the dramatic light with the dark shadows on the left side of the face. It is great lighting technique but doesn’t fit the content. The hair light with the darker dramatic lower light is trying too hard to separate Jared from the darker background. It causes a darker feel. Balance it a bit and it would work to take away the darker feel.

[@kaleponismith]

I'm beyond grateful for the knowledge and testimony that you share with us all each week! I just watched this video a couple of days ago and am currently watching the one from 1 Nephi. The text on the screen is so much easier to read on your older lessons. If possble, could you please use your previous text format? Thank you for all the time and effort!

[@sayhellobryan]

Just thought it would be helpful for you to understand how a new follower consumes your videos and why I think an hour and 30 minute video is awesome. Your channel fills the gap that a 30 year old with kids has not been able to fill since I stopped attending seminary in high school. It usually takes about 3 or 4 days for me to finish one of your videos. This very much in-line with how I read the scriptures. Chapter by chapter. I would request that you add chapters to the KZbin video for distinct progression through the lesson. This allows a 1:30 long video to be split up into chunks that I can handle quite nicely. KZbin is great at surfacing long videos you haven't finished watching yet. It feels like class. It's a really amazing resource. I love your channel a lot. Just my thoughts.

[@TheSusi1211]

Love these lessons and thank you Faith Matters for supporting Bro Halverson in this life changing podcast! One humble request possibly to consider? The background of the visuals? I always loved the tan background because when I snapshot and print it, it’s way easier to read not so much black on the paper, and Easier on the eyes during the lesson…thank you for considering this!

[@mattlockhart7609]

I think I'm missing something. The links to your longer lessons from four years ago. Are they linked, and I'm not seeing them?? Thanks for the assistance. While I miss the longer lessons, I understand the need, and I'll take as much of our time together as you give.

Is there any chance of bringing those back, if it's not too big of a burden for you? Thanks so much!

[@michaelrasmussen6346]

Great insights and commentary. Glad I found your channel. Audio has extraneous resonance around 1.5khz. Not sure if it’s something about the combination of your voice/mic/stand. Not bad, but noticeable, especially if you play through a phone on a shelf/counter.

So ,Thank These people for helping others whenever they can. Because some people play the game of getting better then go right to bad associations 😢 I told them can you not see? Feel better away Please stop and call talk to somebody! I was trying to read and call for help,and got some help.not enough to have helped us back then. My children father and that family were not church goers and scripture reading people. I fast and prayed for husband to make it thru surgical surgery after surgery, so many times he almost left before he could see his children grow up ❤ We had few good years But I learn age 3 TV sets fell upon his head and his behavior was changing Yet 200 I.Q. Yes,same as his Mother She was confused by what to do,and yrs went by Things happen not always good for both families.

And we talk about things and I will be getting help I became very disabled He couldn't take care of me because he actually didn't want to and medicine was a issue with his disease I have been watching these videos 2 times because of the Amounts of people Jesus teachings❤ I just gave you some of my living. I forgave him and asked for forgiveness even if we didn't have a marriage anymore we had 3 children and teens years! I knew all hands on deck!

I have only recently found your incredible channel. But it has been long enough to have seen the transition to a shorter format ( which is a goal for yourself and your new support group) but is not necessarily an improvement from my humble perspective. I love the commentary verse by verse and I relish the intimacy of the deep dive into scripture. It takes time to peruse and ponder. There are plenty of people doing the overview approach. Your ability to dig deep and share the details you find makes your approach unique, uniquely valuable. Anyway, you have a new dedicated listener, plus the people I have introduced you to. (Dangling participle- do those still need to be corrected? 😂) 📙📖💕💖

[@gageeaston2486]

We struggle and suffer because that is part of the perfect plan that God has designed for us! If it weren’t for trials and suffering there would be no need to look to Christ and put our faith in Him and what He offers us!

I wonder if Zeniff's return to the land of Nephi went down like the lost 116 pages. Did Zeniff pray to ask if he should lead a group there, but the Lord said no? Did he continue to ask until he "wearied the Lord with his teasings"? Or, did he neglect to ask at all because he wasn't interested in the Lord's answer anyway? I'm just curious... 🤔

Halverson? I am jumping the gun a little here, but my thoughts went off chart, when you said no one wants to be a project t, although, King Lamoni, wanted to know God in proving polarities or a lightbulb moment, was he not willing to be a project of Ammon himself, to do for him, what he could not do himself, and put him with (ammon's authority) to sleep to know God? Isn't this a project t ? I was prompted to this question???

[@booandersen8953]

Maybe I missed it during the lesson but One question that popped into my head , is how did prophets or seers receive authority or power in the BOM times? we believe in priesthood through proper authority. Example, the prophet holds the keys and their entirety for the lords church (so does the first pres. And apostles, they just aren’t authorized to use them fully). All who receive the priesthoods and keys for calling get them by the laying on of hands by someone with authority. My question is, in the BOM, how did they have prophets, seers etc without proper authority? Or, how did Moses get the authority and priesthood ? How? Thoughts anyone?

A question during my study of Mosiah and would appreciate your insight: *Mosiah 9:3 Zeniff takes "as many as were desirous" to the land of Lehi-Nephi and settle in Shilom in 200 B.C. *Mosiah 9:11 twelve years later (B.C. 188) King Laman worries that Zeniff's people are "waxing strong" and starts persecuting Zeniff's people. *Zeniff arms his people with weapons (vs 16) and they battle the Lamanites. *They slay 3,043 Lamanites; Zeniff's losses were 279 It makes me wonder how many people were in Zeniff's original group, and how that number grew to the point that they could overpower and slay 3,000, losing 300 in the process. Maybe there were many, many more who joined Zeniff in Shilom over the course of 12 years. Even if the original group were married and bore children, the children would not have been old enough to fight. Thoughts?

[@grammac9388]

In Omni vs 12, the Lord told king Mosiah to get the people out of the land of Nephi. Then 100 plus years later Zeniff decides he wants to go back. Who was Zeniff ‘sent’ by in 9 verse 1 to be a spy?

Question: What happened to the people that stayed in the land of Lehi/Nephi after Mosiah left? It seems like they were gone?

I have learned by sad experience, that I am not a strong and mighty person to go after my loved one who has left the church. Having participated in the conferences that this person, whom my husband considers a (new) prophet, I do worry that I am not strong enough to have the conversations that I would need with him. In fact, when I was very upset at one point, he forbade me from discussing why he left the church with him. He has set boundaries that I can't cross. How can I become that strong and mighty person?

[@zillmanelle6013]

Sometimes that strong mighty person remains quiet… watches/ listens/ waits… until….. and One day that… until, will come… Maybe Not through you- but through someone else❤️ You got this!

[@matthale236]

Jared, I saw something in a different light when I read this story this time. What if Zeniff was a descendant of Laman?. We know the Nephites and Lamanites were already a mixed breed. There was a mix of people living in Zarahemla. Zeniff wanted to inherit the land of his fathers. When they found the land of Nephi, Zeniff was sent in among them as a spy. Why him? Was he already a dark-skinned Lamanite and could blend in among the Lamanites? And if Zeniff was a Lamanite, then King Noah (and perhaps some of his wicked priests) were also Lamanites. The wicked priests later married the daughters of the Lamanites and their new wives later plead for their husbands’ lives. There are more interesting events that make it an interesting possibility. Read it again and consider what if Zeniff was a Lamanite by birth. Sometimes we make assumptions in the story that might not necessarily be correct given that we have less than 1/100th of their history.

19:24 quick constructive feedback… instead of taking 15-20 seconds to tell us to look up your old video or a dictionary, or about how there are different definitions of a word… just take the same 15-20 seconds to give a quick blurb about the reference that will be beneficial. 👍

Joseph Smith did not use a Seer Stone. Only the Urim and Thumin. Read the book Seer Stone v Urim & Thummin by L Hannah Stoddard.

Still love your videos - however, that picture of the Savior behind you disturbs me to no end with all the color red (which looks like blood). I just place a sticky note over it but could you take a moment to tell us about it one day? May God bless you and yours for your dedication and devotion to your calling. :)

[@matthale236]

It looks like Jonathan Roumie, the Jesus in “The Chosen”. Brother Halverson has said in his videos that he really likes his portrayal of Jesus.

[@ScottsChristmasChannel]

the Lamanite "wrongs" are actually "perceived wrongs"

[@staceynorris5210]

Appreciate you trying ! 🙏 However, the Gods above have taught there was not an equal family or all parties in agreement before this Earth was created. Revelation on different degrees of kingdoms/ glories. Many mansions above. So.... again we are taught not 100% on oneness amongst ALL even in different spheres. In those Kingdoms, I would like to be apart of, works out with calmness, faith, patience, love, intelligence, fruits of the spirit, etc. Everything works according to THEIR will. That hope in Christ makes all the difference for me! We all know there is more information coming. For now😢 We can't have the city of Enoch. Would love it- but we're all sinners trying to BECOME. ❤

Please stop torturing me by constantly saying that you will succeed in getting the lesson down to one hour. I have listened to you from the beginning and really don’t want all your new changes. Make your changes if you must just do it quietly. I really am not joking this is stressful to me. Thank you for all do.

[@disciplesofjesuschrist2026]

if you have difficulty, just listen to one hour and at another time listen to the rest...easy!

[@donseegmiller7759]

I’ve noticed that but on the other hand I am always amazed how he can go on effortlessly for more than an hour I hardly notice the time go by. He puts a lot of effort into preparing but he also has a gift. It might be good for us to not sweat the small stuff.

[@xrpreacher6000]

We also have to ween off of brother Halverson and learn to rely on the Spirit from our own personal study. I believe a combination of learning from other people's study, and then trying to study on our own merit is a healthy and balanced way for us to allow the Lord into our hearts and minds.

[@disciplesofjesuschrist2026]

@@xrpreacher6000 There is no need to 'ween off" Bro Halverson. Just feel for the Spirit in his words as he teaches and glean off the words of wisdom and you will be enlightened and then take personal time with the lord to study, ponder pray and obey, then combine them and you are on the sure path of Eternal life. All scripture whether by personal study or by others who have the Spirit to teach like Brother Halverson are of great worth

[@xrpreacher6000]

@@disciplesofjesuschrist2026 I'm a big fan of the combination, but I can testify that if I only listen to others insights, I am missing the insights that the Lord wants me to hear first hand from Him. I went for far too long with only listening to Halverson and others, and most definitely had to wean off of other people's insights and seek to find my own from the Lord directly. I agree wholeheartedly with what you said, but if somebody is not taking advantage of personal study time they are missing a massive portion of personal regulation of personal revelation at the great feast of the Lord before us.
