Brother Jared….I have always felt a shared kinship with Moroni, and have felt of his loneliness and his loss. As I have listened to this lesson, and felt of your spirit, again, with the love you have for the Lord, and His works…I feel an even closer brotherhood with you all. How wonderfully blessed we are by the testimony of what is true through this Holy Spirit. Although you are looking and speaking into a camera and microphone…the Spirit shines its light….and with eyes to see and ears to hear….you have been a welcomed guest in my own home for many years now. We love you brother😇❤️. Keep up the good work 👍. David

I think this might be my favorite lesson you've ever taught. I have a grandson leaving MTC tomorrow to begin his mission. I told him your thoughts regarding The Book of Mormon being the best friend the Bible ever had. I thought it might be useful sometime in his discussions with investigators.

When I was younger I read the New Testament and felt a need to get baptized but didn't really know where to go for that, and I think the book of Mormon was carefully introduced to me by God, or angels, or some heavenly force, and I started reading the book of Mormon right after I read the New Testament and it's true, the book of Mormon is really the Bible's Best Friend. It's totally harmonious. Many try to say it's a different gospel but it's not, it's literally the gospel of Jesus Christ. I hope some souls will discover the marvelous work and wonder that the book of Mormon and this great gospel work is! Praise God! I think this is one of the most important and personal episodes I've heard so far. Something about this reaches the depths of my soul, and also the timing. The Lord Jesus Christ is alive and working miracles for those who believe. Hallelujah!

Brother Halverson I'm so thankful for your zeal for teaching. I'm impressed with your commitment, it's remarkable. I feel like I'm taking one of your classes at BYU and not having to pay. 😂 Love your ability to make the Scripture relevant to our day.

[@JJones.SideKick]

Brother Halverson, thank you for this lesson and for the love you have for the BoM. It shines and radiates from you! We can see you, though you can't see us and we are grateful for you!!!! I think you have been fasting alot lately. You've lost weight. Take care, dear brother. We love you.

[@maryfletcher9905]

U LOOK GREAT!!🎉😂❤

[@mattgardiner8243]

Wow Brother Halverson....thank you for your beautiful message about trying to avoid Pride and being envious of the people we serve. I am so humbled by this. I run my own company and have always said that if my Sales teams are taking home more money than I it's because they are exceeding their targets and the Company is make more money. Boy did the Spirit give me a kick this morning! I realise that for the past 6 months or so I've been looking at my sales staff and thinking that I should be taking more money home than them....etc etc and trying to justify those thoughts....and I am now realising the error that I have made in judgement and I am humbled.....so thank you for your words they are truly needed at this time.

[@beckywright7906]

I love this as always. The Book of Mormon is so precious! Thank you!

[@isabellee7212]

Thank you for your lessons.

Brother halverson just to make you know that we are behind the camera, waiting to get food for our soul thanks you so much

[@MercedesHale-jx3tu]

Gracias hermano, soy conversa de la Iglesia de Jesucristo de los santos de los últimos días, cuando les pregunté a los misioneros que si los 10 mandamientos eran los mismos de su iglesia ellos me mostraron El Libro de Mormón y la biblia, en mi bendición patriarcal se me habla de estudiar el Libro, me siento muy bendecida de este conocimiento es una gran herramienta tanto espiritual como material, yo solo tenía 15 años cuando me uní a la iglesia, y no me arrepiento aunque mi familia nunca me apoyó en nada, tampoco me ayudaron cuando serví la misión, como conversa me parece tan estúpido cuando miembros de la iglesia se pierden en las drogas, etc., pero ese es mi punto de vista personal, obviamente yo no soy perfecta pero me doy cuenta que entre mas me aferro a la barra de hierro mas ataques se me presentan en la vida, al mismo tiempo El Señor Jesucristo me bendice y me tiene mucha paciencia junto con El Padre, me siento muy humilde que cuento con su amor y eso me ayuda a seguir adelante, cada vez que siento que estoy sufriendo mucho entonces me enfoco en servir a los demás y en ese momento dejo de sentir lástima por mi misma. Cada día me arrepiento de muchas cosas menos de pertenecer a esta iglesia lo comparto con todos en el nombre de Nuestro Señor y redentor Jesucristo. Amen. 🙏

[@JJones.SideKick]

Mercedes, Gracia por compartir tu historia de coversion a la Iglesia. Tu experiencia es muy parecida al mia. Yo tambien rencontre la Iglesia a los 15 anos. Pero tuve que esperar hast que cumpli 16 anos porque mis padres no me dejaron de ser bautisado antes. Senti muy sola en mi fe por pasar las pruevas que ocurio a mi por mis creencias pero cuando uno se siente la veracidad de algo, no se lo deja. Y las pruevas dio fuerza a mi fe. Y por mi fe Y mis pruevas he recibido y visto MUCHOS milagros!!!! You tambien, servi una mision sin el apoyo de mis padres. Entiendo como te sentiste en aquel entonces. Veo como tu frentiste esa desafillo con valor y sabiduria en usar El Libro de Mormon como tu recurso. Por tomar ese paso tu fe es mas fuerte hoy dia por haber tomadolo asi. Eres un muy buen ejemplo para los demas. Gracias por compartirla, Hermann. Que Dios siempre te bendiga y aumenta tu fe y testimonio!

[@harmonywoodrome9911]

We never be alone, we have God the Father, Jesus Christ our Savior, scriptures. Thank you very much 😍👏

[@novawarren5089]

I love this book in so many ways because the love shown to future people 💕 Then his son Maroni does the same. 3:44

[@paulagraves6517]

Couple thoughts/questions in regards to doubting not, and be believing, when asking the father in my name and it shall be given. The spirit helps me on a regular bases with day to day organization. I always plan my day with God in mind and sometimes He answers a prayer before I even ask but then there are things like getting pneumonia and though I know we can’t go without trials, after coughing for a month I ask if it can please go away, but no let’s give you another couple weeks. Now that’s just a small example of tons medical condition that people would love to be rid of. I find it interesting that some prayers are answered so readily for people, for they do not doubt, yet others, especially medical are not. Also on Moroni- When I was young (and I’m a bit older than you) the word depressed was used when we were just having a dumb down day and not all things had gone right. We never spoke of depression as being a condition that required therapy or medicine therefore because I grew up like that I find it very difficult to think of Moroni as being depressed in anyway. I only see him as expressing his feelings, but always trusting in God and his plan, he was first and foremost, a man of great strength.

Dude, you've lost some weight! Looking good keep up the good work.

[@shawnbrigance3993]

Thank you!

Always love your angle - gems.

[@disciplesofjesuschrist2026]

those who refuse to repent will find themselves without hope and if they continue in their open rebellion unto the end of their lives...then their day of Grace will have passed...inthewhich cometh the darkness.

Yes He received word for he was ministered to by Jesus and by the three nephites--

[@SpeakerAndrewWiggin]

Dear Brother Halverson, have you considered doing a version of each of these in Spanish as well?

[@BonnieWrightMusic]

Bro Halverson - obviously you have your heart in the right place, not monetizing this channel of over 100k subscribers. However - you might consider monetizing and donating all of the money to the missionary/temple/humanitarian funds of the Church, simply to further the good you already do in this channel. You can state in the channel description that all earnings from KZbin are donated as such. Something for your consideration!

[@novawarren5089]

What happens when the children or your adult children don't believe none of the 2 books have just lost emotions in their relationship with both books 🤔 I'm so confused with my daughter and grandchildren. 14:57

[@IvyDodd-t4l]

Me too 😢

[@JJones.SideKick]

Nova, when you've done all you can do, leave the rest in God's hands and be at peace with your efforts. You cannot choose for them. It's up to them what path they will follow. Learning to use our agency for good, in a saving and exalting way, is why we came to earth. Our path toward perfection is a personal journey we each must travel and learn from along the way. God bless you for caring and being patient with them during their walk.

[@debbiebarton9062]

What do they believe in? What is their love language? God meets us where we are at and fills us with love and goodness when we are open. He is always there. As parents we are not as capable but we can still keep our eyes on the stars reaching up. We may not catch any but at least we won’t end up with a handful of dirt. (Taken from “Reach for the stars, you may not catch any, but at least you won’t end up with handful of dirt”. Just keep learning about the ways of God and his spirit will lead to the truths you need. Trust 🤍

[@hillaryloper1032]

Show love to them, no matter what, and trust in God's timing.

[@stayseaandloki]

From one who has been in both positions: i think the most important thing is to LOVE THEM UNCONDITIONALLY, and DO NOT JUDGE them, treat them with all the love and respect that you would if they were actively embracing it all. Keep working to even more fully EXEMPLIFY the LOVE OF the SAVIOR, who has to watch us all messing up and loves us perfectly regardless. Remember that it was IN THE PRESENCE OF JESUS AND IN HIS PERFECT LOVE that the people became most righteous and peaceful; the presence of His perfect love motivated them to feel and change. Being treated with less love by one's parents when one is on the fence or on the other side tends to PUSH THEM FURTHER AWAY from wanting anything to do with it - after all, LOVE IS THE HIGHEST LAW and is the SPIRIT OF THE LAW and the ESSENCE OF THE GOSPEL. The PURE LOVE OF CHRIST "NEVER FAILETH."

[@susiuche1609]

No no ok thanks you ❤

[@debbiebarton9062]

Teachings of great worth 🤍 Wish I could absorb better, confounded chronic fatigue. Maybe this chapter is called focusing on the spirit since the words don’t stick 😂. Thank you for that which cannot be described
