Your ultimate study guide
Halverson knows so much about the scriptures. Really makes you enjoy diving into the text rather than just reading it.
This podcast has been a Faith saver for me and my family
I discovered this podcast during Covid and I can’t tell you how important it has been to me ever since. My wife and I have faced some very Faith challenging trials the past three years and the inspired words and guidance of this podcast has helped us incredibly.
Thank you Jared for all your efforts in these podcasts. These are doing so much good for us and so many people I helping us become unshaken.
Changing Church Cumture
I love the way you teach the goodness and truth that is not only in our church but in all faith traditions. It is sometimes difficult to live in an area with a lot of church members who have not experienced much outside the “church group” especially when your situation may not be the perfect Mormon family. I am always telling my children to focus on Jesus and His gospel and give grace to all members who unknowingly say or do things that could be offensive if one chooses to be offended. We have much to learn to be one and to encourage and love everyone. Thanks for your attitude and point of view.
