I LOVE your Long lessons and their depth! I listen and re-listen. I read the CFM lesson, follow along in the scriptures, take notes and journal insights I receive! I love your stories. I love the setting of your lessons. Your comment that when you sit to teach us, you feel like you're "on holy ground." I feel like I'm sitting across the desk from you, or in your classroom w/ you looking at us to teach us. I feel your reverence & love for scripture, even as thoroughly i attention to detail as in a white shirt and tie. It has increased my testimony, and my own love and desire to grow my relationship w/ my Savior and deeping my own knowledge. Thank you, Bro. Halverson!

Another great chapter! My understanding increases daily thanks to these videos. You have deepened my testimony more than any other thing before in my 55 years! I can't thank you enough for all your hard work and effort. It is so appreciated.

I was so touched by your way of teaching the application of how to influence those who have decided to be on a different path. By following the example of Alma and even asking for success I can come from a place of conviction to those questioning without imposing my desire to "change" their opinions. To be taught so beautifully to pray for all the blessings Alma desired and receive the Gift of the Spirit to cover them all hit my heart so deeply. I have avoided your lessons because of the length but now wouldn't want them ANY shorter. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and gift of words in this way!

@Unshaken 4 года назад

Haha! I know what you mean about the length being a bit daunting! I keep trying to shorten things but can't seem to find the heart to cut things down. I'm sure I'll have to in some of the longer sections. But thank you for your kind words. I'm grateful the lesson was a blessing to you.

Love Alma's prayer for a blessing on the dream team...power and wisdom... Alma clapped his hands. And the Lord provided for them and gave them strength. Because Alma prayed in faith. I love Alma and his brethren.

@Unshaken 4 года назад

"The Dream Team"--I love that! Definitely a powerful group of disciples--people who had been changed by Christ, and could therefore teach out of their own changed hearts.

@noneyobusiness6582 4 года назад

I have gained somuch more understanding of these scriptures then I ever have before. Thank you for your words. My heart is filled with joy and better understanding

@Unshaken 4 года назад

I'm so glad to hear that! The scriptures are such a treasure trove. I'm glad we get to do some "mining" together :)

@anneperkins3590 4 года назад

“God can take a problematic past and consecrate it to the building up of his kingdom“ that statement hit me like a 2x4 to the head. So much so, that I had to copy it down and leave a comment, which I never do. Thank you.

@Unshaken 4 года назад

Thanks for chiming in, my friend! I'm glad that truth hit you the way it did. It definitely applies to each of us!

@elizabethwhipple314 4 года назад

Once again you filled soul wisdom and gratitude. You are my silver lining beneath dealing with darn virus. Thank you for all your hard work.

@pennyutley9333 4 года назад

so much to learn. The straightforward and in everyday language makes it easier. Some much of it fits me and gives a glimmer of where I should be.

@pennyutley9333 4 года назад

My husband expressed a transcript would be wonderful.

@Unshaken 4 года назад

Thank you for that encouragement! I don't write everything out (just bullet points to jog my memory), so I don't have any transcripts to post :( But perhaps I can find a way to post the lesson outlines at least, which would be better than nothing. Thanks again!

@michaelharrisactor 4 года назад

Listening to 'Unshaken has increased my understanding of how the experiences of the people of the Book of Mormon so closely parallel our day and how much we can learn about how to avoid the pitfalls they fell into and prepare ourselves to be of more and better service to other... and now I will have to deconstruct that tower I have been building...bummer. :)

@Unshaken 4 года назад

Haha! I think we've all got some deconstruction to do :) Thanks for sharing!

@shoodnpoodn 4 года назад

I have learned so much and gained a greater desire to read the Scriptures. You have helped me understand and they have come to life.

Thank you so much, I must read Alma prayers over, over again to apply it to our daily life with humility and love👏😍

@Unshaken 4 года назад

Me too! Every time I turn to the scriptures, their relevance amazes me!

@haleyareeder 4 года назад

I know I have never understood this seemingly simple chapter (Alma 31) the way i understand it now. Incredible insights. What a blessing. I will pray with faith like Alma did that your videos continue well into the future.

@Unshaken 4 года назад

I'm so glad it helped this chapter make sense!

@michaeltaylor6803 4 года назад

I love the analogy of the of the threadbare string breaking causing one to leave what they once believed. It is so important that we keep ourselves close to the gospel. Being out on the outside edge can become dangerous for our soles.

@Unshaken 4 года назад

Amen! It's sad to see it happening around us, especially when there are so many sources of strength available!

@courthilton5704 4 года назад

Yes! Highlights I found meaningful: "Beware of a Christianity without a Christ" - excellent. Un-coupled virtues list! Borderland and borderline membership. Compartmentalization. Culture vs covenant! Beauty from ashes alchemy. Joseph's prayer. Answer to Alma's petition and courage with the Holy Spirit fully armed. Thanks. '

@Unshaken 4 года назад

I love the way you identify the principles you found most helpful. An eager student is a teacher's dream come true!

@aliciamilne2314 4 года назад

I had the exact same thoughts about himni! So wonderful to get another piece of their stories to get to know them just a little bit better :) Thanks for your insights :)

@Unshaken 4 года назад

No doubt! I sure wish we had more on all of them!

@aliciamilne2314 4 года назад

I’ve lived in both Utah and in the Bible Belt and I’m much happier where we are now . Works for me personally 😂

@Unshaken 4 года назад

There are definitely blessings and challenges no matter where we live!

@noneyobusiness6582 4 года назад

I grew up in the long beach 1st ward In the long beach stake. We moved to price utah in 1973 after I graduated from polly high.

@aliciamilne2314 4 года назад

I was born around there !

@Unshaken 4 года назад

Long Beach is a beautiful place! I grew up on the north side of LA county--in Valencia. I'm jealous that you were closer to the beach :)

@haydenjensen7257 4 года назад

Would love a video on the history of race and the church!

@Unshaken 4 года назад

Hey Hayden! That would be a good one. I've taught lessons along those lines in the "Foundations of the Restoration" class, but going even deeper would be awesome. Now I just need more hours in the day! Thanks for chiming in!

@bacray1 4 года назад

Is it possible to post this information in written form? When I click on "open transcript" one is not available. A searchable pdf would allow us to quickly re-locate ideas and quotes. For example, I have searched several times to locate your list of contraries, such as unity and diversity. However, scrolling through the video, I have not been able to identify them. I felt this section of the video was extra-ordinarily valuable.

@Unshaken 4 года назад

That's a great thought. Unfortunately, I don't write everything out (just bullet points to jog my memory), so I don't have a full transcript. If I get around to creating an associated website, I could post the lesson outlines there, which would help. I'm sorry for the inconvenience in the meantime!

@rutht2023 4 года назад

I spent 3 years in the south pacific country of Tonga. The methodist ministers there still pray using shouting. They are used to speaking with no microphones to large congregations. I wonder if that is how the yelling while praying tradition started, and then used for small groups too. It was quite starting to me the first time I saw it.

@Unshaken 4 года назад

In early America, that shouting tradition was there too, and like you said, it was essential when preachers had to address huge groups in the open air. There's a great part in the autobiography of Benjamin Franklin when he tries to estimate the size of a group of people a particular minister could address. Thank heavens for microphones these days!

@rutht2023 4 года назад

At 1:02:30 you say: having explained to God what He already knew... I think of it more as Alma clarifying to God what Alma understand are the problems of the Zoramites. He also clarifies his understanding to the Lord what he sees the needs of the missionaries will be. In other words, 'This is my understanding of what is going on and so these are the things we will surely need. Please help.'

@Unshaken 4 года назад

Beautiful description of what's going on! I really like your take on that. Thanks for sharing!

@jenniferbartell6298 4 года назад

I’ve benefitted so much from these lessons. Are they going to continue? I couldn’t find anything about future videos

@Unshaken 4 года назад

I'm so glad they've been helpful! As of now, the plan is to keep teaching online, so the videos will continue. Thanks for watching!

@johnqpratt8278 4 года назад

@louisehurd4112 4 года назад

I have searched for your previous videos and it looks like you don’t have any before Jacob. Is this right?

@Unshaken 4 года назад

Correct. That's when COVID-19 shut down face-to-face teaching and I moved things online. I'd love to go back some time and do videos for 1 and 2 Nephi, but time is a rare commodity! Thanks for watching!

@rutht2023 4 года назад

Please do make some videos for 1 and 2 Nephi. I would love to hear your lessons on those chapters.

@Unshaken 4 года назад

@@rutht2023 I would love to! It's just a matter of finding time. I'm barely keeping up as it is! I'm still trying to figure out how to speed up the process. Thanks for your encouragement though! I appreciate it!
