I am so grateful for Mormon Central and honest, faithful brethren, who care to share their testimonies weekly. Thank you, thank you, it is appreciated!
Absolutely brilliant lesson. Thank you both soooo much. I appreciate the weekly additional teaching that you provide. I simply cannot comprehend why anyone would click on a 'thumbs down' after this. I love the way you brought all the lesson points together in closing. Excellent. We are privileged!
One of the most powerful, meaningful and beautiful lessons you have taught. Thank for the honesty and intimate lessons taught today by both of you. Taylor, the story of your wife was very moving and I am touch by her faith in the Lord's plan. Tyler, once again you lifted my soul with your teaching and your testimony. Thank you to both of you for your testimonies and teaching each and every week that strengthen and increase my own testimony and understanding of Gospel principles. Chapter 42 was particularly inspiring and meaningful for me this week in the light of the temples being closed. Thank you again.
Gosh, you give so many insights into this lesson, I have to keep playing it back so I can keep it fresh in my mind. We reap what we sow, this gospel is true and perfect, even though we aren't and we shouldn't judge otherwise because of poor examples. The tree of knowledge and the tree of Life, brilliantly explained! The restoration when we are resurrected there was so much covered. Thank you so much for all your efforts.
Thank You for this lesson... its becoming a habit now to listen to your insights. Now i found a more and better way of studying come follow me manual than studying it alone
More beautiful insights from CFM, I absolutely loved this and recorded some wonderful counsel in my journal. Thank you for the time you both put into preparing and presenting these lessons for us. I always come away with a full cup after watching these videos. There are so many things I would not think of myself if it weren't for these inspirational presentations. I am loving the CFM journey .
How easy and clear your understanding of our gospel. Your blessing of being able to convey his plan in a way that is most appreciated. I benefit each day from your gift. Thank you.
thank you so much for this deeper understanding of principles taught - that of the Tree of Knowledge and Tree of Life, that of Mercy and Justice, that of the talk "Stop It". Many thanks for the Spirit which taught during this lesson by Book of Mormon Central.
Another great lesson. I learn so much from these. The tree of knowledge and the tree of life being portals into life and eternity was a great explanation of the plan and helped me. Thank you
Thank you Taylor, I appreciated your wife's journey, and you Shari g this with me/everyone, my heart goes out to you both, what a wonderful day to look forward to that time our bodies will be whole . Thankyou.
Bro Griffin, I was in your Book of Mormon Institute class at USU! This is so great. I feel like I get a weekly institute class. Thank you for doing this!
LOVE! You guys are a big part of my Sabbath studies every week! I am semi-invalid in bed 6 years, and l really look forward to your lessons, they are the "Highlight of my week"! l get so much "insight" and come away with much more understanding! l think this has got to be my all time favorite thus far. l thank both of you for your efforts and dedication to making sure we have a knowledgeable, concise, encouraging lesson ready to share with us each week! You teach myself and my children and their children! I feel so blessed to have stumbled upon you last Spring, and plan to go back and catch all of your lesson when I start the Book of Mormon over next year. I don't know if you will be doing lessons on the D& C next year, but I hope so! I'm sure your families are being blessed from bringing these lessons to us. l thank you kindly!
This one was/is a pivotal lesson......as we would say in the world of sports and coaching, a game changer. Tyler was/is quite literally like that trusted friend who shows up at a very tender time , with a hug of encouragement........thank you so much for quite literally, being there for us on behalf of our Saviour...........❤️
This week's Come Follow Me podcast really tugged on the heartstrings. Taylor, I was very touched to hear about your wife having to go through her physical struggles, especially at stressful times. It seems these challenges never come at a convenient time. One observation from this week's scripture Block, specifically Chapter 42. "The Plan" from Chapter 42 includes the 3 Pillars of Heaven (Bruce R. McConkie) Creation (42:2), Fall (42:6), and Atonement (vs.15). Justice being a Law of Consequences while Mercy is a law of redemption because of the Saviors Atonement. Corianton found out that REPENTANCE is better to Prepare & Prevent than it is to Repair & Repent !! Sin without Repentance causes one to Loose Knowlege. Gratefully, Corianton found the Principle of Repentance and returned to us clean again in Alma 49:30 !! Thank you T&T Brothers for another heartfelt Podcast !!
What a beautiful testimony building experience for your wife, Taylor. And what hard trials you all are facing. Wow. My heart goes out to your family. I’ve lost some close family members quite young, and the doctrine of resurrection is the most comforting to me. ❤️
Thank you for breaking down this lesson in a simpler and more understandable way for me. Great presentation with clear and spiritual insight. I hope you continue to do this weekly especially during this COVID uncertainties.😉😉😉
Thanks to both of you for sharing such powerful wisdom and testimony. Brother Halverson thanks for sharing your wife ´s experience. Please tell her it helped me . May the Lord keep blessing you both and your families. Thank you for this lesson!. I love the Lord and I know that HE lives. I love nthe BOOK OF MORMON and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!
This lesson in Alma was so enlightening , uplifting and encouraging. Please continue in these BEAUTIFUL Messages that tell us that “HE NEVER GIVES UP ON US”, . Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you for sharing your wife's experience. Yes, our body is restored and beautiful after this life on earth. I have similar experience thanks to the Holy Spirit Greetings from Belgium
Thank you for explaining the 2 trees. I've always wondered what the meaning of Cherubim and a flaming sword etc, now that gives me a better perspective. Keep up the great work brethren. You're blessing our lives with your talents.
Tyler- I've read these chapters many times, but until I watched this 51 minute video, I did not fully grasp the power they have in ALL our lives--thank you both for sharing your knowledge and love of our scriptures .BLESS you both till we are again blessed with your message of our Savior's and God's plan!!---rick
Again, you have given an extraordinary lesson! I will never read about Alma’s talk with his wayward son the same way. You have opened my eyes to so many things I had never thought of before. (This has been the case in all your lessons)-I am so grateful for your lessons. THANK YOU
I'm so grateful for you class and the insight, it truly touch my heart, I can't express myself how blessed we are for The attotment of Jesus Christ and give back some of many that I received and it came to my mind just serve in my calling
Your comment about Isabel being false teachings taking him away rather than him committing sexual sins put a new perspective on why he had the questions he had and makes sense to me. Thank you for the lesson- I’m preparing mine now!!
A wonderful explanation of the plan of salvation! I now understand it as I never have before.Thank you for your ability to make what has always been a bit of a mystery to me obvious and logical . I can only say super uplifting!
Thank you so much! I watch and study from your videos and the website every day.❤️ What a blessing your insights have been to me because they have led me to ponder, pray and receive my own insights. Thank you!
Thank you for the wonderful insights on this week’s lesson. I’m so sorry to hear about your wife’s health issues. Grateful to know your wife has received reassuring power of the resurrection to bring her peace during this time on earth. My prayers are with her. 🙏
Thank you both for your time each week, it’s so helpful. I love personal stories and learn so much from them. Thank you for sharing your the story about your wife and her struggles. I’m so sorry and hope things improve for her soon. 🙏

Taylor’s experience about his wife reminded me of a similar time for me when I was praying for my newly diagnosed young developmentally disabled daughter. I was having trouble accepting the situation and praying for a cure, to make it go away so she would have the future I had hoped for her. I was singing the sacrament song in church when a powerful voice spoke to my mind telling me that her condition would not change in this life, but in the resurrection she would be made perfect. Through grateful tears I accepted the situation and started focusing on ways to help her rather than denial.
Lola Speckart I feel for you! My 6 year old son has autism and o have been wrestling with God over it for years now but I have been fasting and praying for a long time and I’m about to embark on a new diet plan with a bunch of supplements. The one I’m doing is called the root cause protocol which deals with the root cause of what’s going on in our children’s bodies and can help them heal. I spent a lot of time in denial too but I am now excited for the things that I can do to help and a discovering that there are so so many 🤗🤗🤗
Jenny McCaffrey I understand entirely. Our situations are the same, but different. My daughter is now in her early 40s. She has been a blessing and has taught us many things. She has also challenged us many times almost to the breaking point, with her cognitive impairment, autism, and bipolar disorder. My testimony is that at every point where we felt there was no place to turn and no solution for the problem we were facing, God miraculously opened up the answer, every single time. You might like to join the Facebook group “The Church of Jesus Christ Parents if Special Needs Children”. If you can’t join directly, and are on FB I can invite you if you message me.💕
Another great session from you brethren, love all this chapters, talking about the resurrections. Thanks for sharing the story of your wife Brother Taylor.
Thanks for letting us know that this story helped you. I had wondered about sharing something so personal, but my wife gave permission and Tyler encouraged me.
Guys you are so incredible. How much I enjoyed this teaching. No doubt the Spirit of the Lord guided you. I' m anxious to share your insights with my students. Thanks a million.
Thank you guys for another great lesson, and thank you Taylor for the incredibly personal story of the trials of your wife. There is something incredibly uplifting about hearing about some faithful saint's trials that don't get solved immediately with a blessing, or fasting and prayer, and their subsequent struggle (eg; biography of Spencer W. Kimball). How they continue to stay fast, hold strong, and then have an even more incredible/uplifting message sent to them - because of their dedication and struggle. In other words, a great testimony to never give up - stay the course - he is still there, pulling for us. Thanks.
". . . in a row boat . . . . " Very touching lesson today. Thanks, Taylor and Tyler. Last night I had a dream that several people were in the water desperately trying to save themselves. They would grab hold of small pieces of wood - and continue to sink. I called out to them, "You cannot be saved by just a part of the truth!"
Teary-eyed me is filled with joy and hope as I conclude watching this video. Thank you for the wise and inspired testimonies you have shared once again brethren. Bro. Taylor, thank you for sharing your wife's personal story about the doctrine of Restoration. I am grateful I am a member of the Lord's restored church and for the continuing revelation through the Holy Ghost. The Holy Spirit testified in my heart that what you have shared is true. How I wish we could have your videos translated in my language so that members here in my country can benefit from your insights. Thank you very much for what you do.
Thank you for this beautiful note. We are working to make these translated into Spanish and Portuguese. My understanding is that you'll be able to see the transcripts in those languages if you click the three ... underneath the video, click open transcript, and choose the language.
I loved today’s video. I’ve heard/seen the justice, mercy, and Christ diagram at the end of the video from chapter 42, but after reading it this time, I came to a new understanding/enlightening. I’m curious if anyone else sees mercy as our Heavenly Mother, justice as our Heavenly Father, and Christ as our representation of the Law.
Morgan Anderson as my husband and I were studying Alma 42 I came to the same conclusion. I said wait did you catch that it said “her” for mercy? It is Heavenly Mother who is going to show mercy. Nice to see I’m not alone.
Yes and no. God has a fullness of all divine attributes (as does Heavenly Mother). So it's probably best to not claim that one has a certain quality and the other doesn't. Furthermore, English doesn't use "gendered" language as other languages do. For example, the word "house" in English in neither "male" or "female" whereas in Spanish "house" is a female gendered word. Not that a house is female...but the word used to talk about a house uses female spanish endings. Similarly, Hebrew has gendered words. The Hebrew word for "wisdom" is "female" and so ancient authors often described "wisdom" as a woman (see Proverbs). And in Ancient Egyptian, the word for mercy is also feminine. That sense seems to have carried through from ancient Hebrew and Egyptian into the English translation of the Book of Mormon, but does not mean that Heavenly Mother is wisdom and mercy and God the Father is not.
It was a great lesson, as always. My heart has been touched with your wife's experience, and I have no words. I am from Guatemala, but I live in Ontario, Canada. Called my attention the explanation of the name Isabel, because the prefix "ish" in mayan languages means "she". I really appreciate all your teachings and wisdom
Man I love you guys .what a great job.i served my mission with two leg braces and crutches on my mission under Elder Hartman Rector Jr. I love doing missionary work. I walked into a tire store to get a new tire .I started up a conversation after letting him know that I was a member of the church of the church. I said that it had to meny laws and that he did not believe in keeping them .I told him that any field of work employment has disaplents laws of becoming performance. I told him that so does overcoming ourselves and becoming more like our Heavenly parents. In short he turned walked away and said I do not care .this left we thinking why do we hurt ourselves and our potential in so much rebellion.???.LOVE
I thank you for the beautiful lessons and the deep personal perspective, knowledge and love you have of the Savior. I missed a few lessons but great thing we can catch up. I thank you brother Taylor for sharing the struggles of his wife, I’m sure is a difficult challenge and a hard test! Thank you both for the great lessons!
Excellent lesson today. I'm so grateful for your time and effort to give me further and deeper insight into the BOM. Taylor, please tell your wife thank you for letting you share her personal story. How hard that must be for your whole family. But very inspiring for us.
Thank you so much for this presentation. This helps me remember the truths I know. There is no big or small sin. A turning away from God is sin. Only the clean, unblemished and unspotted can enter into the kingdom of God. God's grace through Jesus Christ's atonement (covering our sins) for as long as we do our best to keep a remission of it, is the only solution for each of us to be clean, unblemished, unspotted.
Thanks to both of you for your efforts in sharing your insights and the Spirit of the Lord with us. I really feel happy and blessed for watching your videos every week.
Hey Taylor, so sorry to hear about your wife’s health trials. I noticed you said that her feet were not healing well after the surgery and then the fact that there is a degeneration in her hearing as well made me think of cellular degeneration that dr Jerry Tennant specialises in. It’s all based in the concept of what our cells need to regenerate and heal. Ive always been fascinated by President Nelson talking about the laws that govern the heart and once he could figure out those laws he knew he would be able to begin heart surgery even though at the time he was told no one can touch the heart without the patient dying - there is a natural law to every ailment, I don’t believe anything “just happens” “and that’s just how it is” I feel like we must always been seeking and search through the “good books” like in D.C. for more knowledge on how to help and help our bodies . Anyway here is an article on his book -www.tennantbiomodulator.ca/2-uncategorised/11-dr-jerry-tennant-healing-is-voltage?showall=1 also has she looked into functional Medicine which is all about individualised healing diets ... sending lots of love and hope! Xoxox
Maraming Salamat sa inyong dalawa sa napakagandang lesson. Tumitibay ang aking testimony about the gospel, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and a loving Heavenly Father and warmth of the Holy Ghost. God bless you always.
At kami ay pinalakas ng iyong pagmamahal at kabutihan. Salamat sa iyong pag-ibig sa Diyos, sa iyong pag-ibig sa Ebanghelyo at sa iyong pagnanais na ibahagi ang katotohanan!
Thank you Taylor for the story of your wife. I was very touched. Thank you for her testimony, her example and faith, as well as yours. Thank you Tyler for your testimony on the Plan. Could you, please, give the references of the discourses given by President Packer and Elder Uchtdorf, you have mentioned? Thank you in advance.
That is a great question! The Book of Mormon doesn't tell us, but perhaps the consequence of his actions led him to suffering and humility and that possibly led to his openness to learning?
EDIT: I'm assuming that since I am just hearing crickets that you two don't or can't respond to questions regarding doctrine?? Just wondering - thanks! I have a few questions I was hoping you could help me answer: 1. When the scripture says that all men will be returned to God after they die, does that mean literally that every person will go back to the presence of God for a period of time, and then go either into Paradise or Spirit Prison? I have always been taught that God cannot be in the presence of sin - so everyone no matter who they are - member of the Church or not, is going to have some sin when they die. Will everyone be in the actual presence of God before they go to Spirit Prison or Paradise? 2. Is the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden the same symbolic tree in Lehi's vision? The Garden of Eden Tree of Life gave people eternal life, it doesn't say in Lehi's dream that people who partake of the fruit are made instantly immortal, and it sounds like there were some who, after eating the fruit fell away - so based on all of that, it sounds like it's not the same symbolic tree - but they both have the name of Tree of Life? 3. This isn't so much a question as an observation: The only time that God took away man's free agency, is when he made sure that Adam and Eve couldn't partake of the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden. It would be interesting to have a discussion on that - that's the only time that we are aware of, that man's free agency to choose was taken away.
My understanding is that Hell is not a specific place - it is an anguish of soul so intense it causes physical pain, uncontrollable weeping, wailing in despair and even grinding of teeth, when one understands fully the joy and delight given away by rebelling against God. It is an anguish so sore, we cannot imagine how bad it will actually be, cut off from God and all that could have been.
@@MicheleBurstein my understsnding that is a place that what Alma went through is what the wicked will endure Thats why was asking. I love Tyler Taylor lessons It makes you think dig in deeper and study pray about it
Do you have any information of the population of the cities? What in the Nephite's mind made a city? Also, were there certain seasons of the year when wars happened - for instance not during planting or harvest season? Also, what is your explanation of Alma 51:26 and Alma 59:5? They seem to contradict each other.
Question 1: Potential resources. archive.bookofmormoncentral.org/sites/default/files/archive-files/pdf/sorenson/2017-08-04/23_john_l._sorenson_seasons_of_war_seasons_of_peace_in_the_book_of_mormon_1991.pdf; archive.bookofmormoncentral.org/sites/default/files/archive-files/pdf/welch/2016-03-07/141.pdf; knowhy.bookofmormoncentral.org/knowhy/is-there-evidence-of-sunken-cities-in-ancient-america; archive.bookofmormoncentral.org/sites/default/files/pressing_forward_39_-_cities_lands_in_the_bom.pdf; More at bookofmormoncentral.org/. Question 2: regarding Alma 51:26 and Alma 59:5. What Alma 59:5 means is that the inhabitants of a variety of cities that had fallen to Lamanites (including the many of the inhabitants of the city of Morianton) had fled to the city of Nephihah. And now Nephihah was attacked by the Lamanites. So the these nephites had to flee a second time.
@@taylorhalverson3052 In Alma 51:26 I get the impression that Nephihah was taken possession by the Lamanites and then in 59:5 it is repeated. Was Nehpihah captured twice? In the February Ensign 2016 there is a slight explanation saying that perhaps there are typos. I don't recall the page or the article. Do you know what was considered a city in today's standard? I knew about the sunken cities but I have often wondered if we know what consisted a "city". Thanks for the references about the "war" years. It was pretty much what I expected.
The whole Isabel/Baal comment in the video completely ignores the first 13 verses of Alma 39. It's very clear Isabel is a actual person, and that sexual sin was the error. Verse 4 "She did steal away the hearts..." and verse 9 "Go no more after the lusts of your eyes..." - the message is simple and clear. Generally a great lesson but less speculation would be good. This was just too much of an intellectual wresting of the scriptures for me. Important to remember this is not a church approved site and a good deal of the material that is 'interesting' is pure speculation and at times a stretching, even wresting, of scripture for the purpose of an 'interesting thought', and while interesting, is not a replacement for 'Come, Follow Me' study.
I also agree that the 'Baal' link to Isabel is unhelpful and not supported by the text. It reminded me of something I once read "An unconventional reading of scripture is not equivalent to a deep reading of scripture." This is certainly the case here to an otherwise very thoughtful discussion.
Where has this channel been this whole time?! Thank you so much for your insights. Im definitely going to replay it a few more times and take some notes. That’s how amazingly important and touching and powerful this video is! Once again, thank you!
