Thanks again
On the Trail
Thumbs up if you're here in 2024 trying to understand Jacob 5!
One of the best lectures on the allegory of the Olive tree I have ever seen! Thanks.
Taylor and Tyler, thank you for breaking down the allegory of the Olive tree. I could see myself throughout your explanation and where God has pruned, dug about, nourished and grafted throughout my life it's amazing!
I'm new to the Mormon, came from the NATIVE Christian religion. It has been very tough in the beginning. But WOW...what a spiritual eye opener. It's like a three-sum..Jews, Gentiles and the Olive tree: we are watered, nourished, corrected, by our heavenly Father, Son and Holy Ghost, when we obey we prosper and bear fruit. What a poetic spiritual thought. It could almost me a native parable, it is said “if you listen to your father you will go up to be like a strong tree” It was more than good for me. God Bless
Connie, this is brother Malcolm Stone. Your journey will be difficult. The Lord must purge you have the past and create in you a new heart. Be patient with yourself, with the Church and those who mean well with their advice. Stay in prayer, morning, noon and night. Do not think that one of us is larger than another, we are not, we are all on the same journey of being purged and sanctified. It takes time, but the Lord knows the way.
When I found you guys I had no idea what treasure I had found. Along with studying the doctrine and covenants I am I have been trying to study the book of Mormon on my own and found these most insightful and inspiring helpful videos from You brothers. I have never heard Jacob five explains so well as I have from this video. Maybe over the years my spirit and mind and heart are all being connected and perhaps that’s why I’m understanding in a different level. But whatever the reasoning I’m so grateful. I can’t thank you brothers enough. I feel like I am being educated at BYU education week every single day and every time I turn your video on. I feel a closer connection and understanding with my father in heaven and my Savior Jesus Christ and their love for me. And this has been a long journey with this connection to finally reaching a level of understanding and awareness. Thank you with all my heart for the work you do I am ever so grateful!
These videos are such a wonderful blend of spirit, academia, and pedagogy. What sets BOMC apart from most other series I've seen like this is the focus on personal application, which I absolutely love. This really is such a great resource for teachers, families, and anyone who is seeking to better understand what the Book of Mormon is and how it is comparable with the Bible and life's experiences. Inviting listeners to consider your videos as supplemental to Come Follow Me and their personal study of the Book of Mormon is much appreciated. Given both Tyler and Taylor's professional and academic background, it's refreshing to see two people from that background agree and support each other in a harmonized way. Even more, it's apparent that these two people, as well as all else who are part of BOMC, have paid the price to understand the scriptures more and better and then communicate them in an understandable and hopeful way. Thank you, BOMC!
Wow, David, thank you for making time to watch and share this really kind note! We sure appreciate you.
I love to watch these videos before I go do my own personal study of Come Follow Me. These videos help me to open my mind to insights that I've never thought of before. Thank you for your time spent in the Lord's vineyard and your work to help to gather Israel! I love the lessons you teach me each week! I love the Book of Mormon!
You really make the Book of Mormon come to life! Thank you so much for these great lessons.
Thanks for watching.
Several years ago having a returned missionary opting out of the church, while reading the Book of Mormon I came across Jacob 5 and I was hit so hard in verse 54 that the branches of the mother tree were grafted into them and it just touched me so deeply that the mothers were used to save them. Then again when President Nelson counseled us as sisters to read the Book of Mormon and to look for Christ I received so much revelation when I came to Jacob 5. it really helped me to understand how much our prophets plead for us to be saved "spare it a little longer!" and especially that He hath nourished us this long time. And now with this reading I had so much revelation given to me in the past I told myself I likely would not receive anything new, literally holding my breath as I started, and by verse 7 I was again sobbing when I realized that the servant of the vineyard could also be Mothers saving their children. Then the whole chapter had a completely different meaning to me. So beautiful! It was such a beautiful experience seeing it on so many different levels each time I read it. This is without a doubt, my favorite scripture. I appreciate you two for your additional insight! Thank you so much!
This is a beautiful note, thank you for sharing!
Oh my goodness; such a message of hope. Thanks for sharing!
I listened to this today while painting and wow guys!!!! You just have a way to open up these difficult scriptures and give them such deep meaning. Thank you so much for all you do. My whole family even ones that have been inactive for years are tuning in and listening to you. God bless you for all that you do to help us better understand the deep meanings that are here. ♥️
Thank you for joining with us! Very happy to hear about your family!
I am doing come follow me Book of Mormon again
What a feast it is to be able to watch these videos again
I do not know how to thank you
Sending lots of gratitude from Ireland ❤️ really love your videos guys! Thanks so much for doing these for us 🤗🤗🤗🤗
We love our friends in Ireland!
Wow! In our “brokenness” God says “don’t council me. I knew it would be hard but you CAN do something wonderful “... We need this message so much today!
Thank you for your lovely thoughts!
This series of scriptural enrichment is outstanding! Thanks so much for doing this. I am especially impressed that as we are dealing with the current crisis, which has caused all of us to lose fellowship on a weekly basis, we are perhaps the best prepared church of all the Christian denominations to carry on with home study (Come, Follow Me) and a lay priesthood, able to provide sacramental service in our homes. I testify that our leadership is inspired and directed to have us so prepared. Note, the technology, which our leaders have told us, despite its inappropriate uses, is provided for the Lord's purposes now allows us ongoing contact with the Church, and with support like Book of Mormon Central. Thanks so much!
Great thinking, Richard! Thanks for sharing. We recommend you also check out our free scripture study app www.scriptureplus.org/.
Thank you for much attention on this chapter in particular. I'm enjoying Come, follow me and I really enjoyed this insight. It made my scripture study much more edifying and I received much more personal revelation in my own life. Thanks so much, looking forward for more episodes to come!!!!!!
Thanks for listening in Simon! And you'll find lots more great insights in our free scripture app www.scriptureplus.org/
Thank you so much for sharing your prospective .I watch your teaching with my family and Monday, come follow me group. We have enjoyed your clarification . I don't read well so I listen to scripture and repeat your teaching several times a week. God bless you. Thank you 😊
Great to have you join us!
Thank you for diligently bringing us these videos. They are EPIC
:). The Book of Mormon definitely is EPIC! Moreover, we think you'll find our new, free free scripture study app to be EPIC, too. www.scriptureplus.org/
I have never taken this so personally as when I recognized “the loss of a job” for “something greater” and the process of grafting. You are right; I will never view this story the same! I also loved the visual of breaking our surface roots and forcing us to have a firmer foundation!
I found these insights from Tyler very powerful, too.
Thank you so much for your time and effort.. I have NO ONE to "talk" gospel with so you guys are an answer to prayer in helping me dig deeper like I have always wanted to. Thank you.
We love hearing from you!
I'm a visual learner and I appreciate your visual aids. Thank you for your help with learning and understanding the scriptures. I've felt the spirit as I've learned with you both, please keep teaching us.
We hope to continue to make these throughout the BOM year!
I appreciate so much your effort and the love you put into making these videos... You have helped me immerse myself in the words of the Book of Mormon, in the depth of the Lord's Love. Studying with you has become a powerful and precious tool for my personal and family study. THANK YOU!
Thanks for sharing!
Oh, Tyler and Taylor..Thank you for searing the Spirit in my heart and soul, once again, reconfirming my responsibility to bear witness of the "truthfulness of all things" and "be not afraid." I continually ask why am I so blessed to be born in these last days when the Great Gathering is occurring and so wish to continue to be a part of God's profound missionary force and to understand my role therein! May the Lord continue to bless you both with wisdom and the Spirit of the Lord as instruments to touch our hearts and souls.
I love your thoughts Lola! Great to meet you and your family recently.
Enjoying these lessons especially with this virus interrupting Sunday services. We feel like we are still having our lessons with our home sacrament meeting. Tanah you
You are welcome Cheryl! Be sure to check out our free scripture study app www.scriptureplus.org/
Thank you both Taylor and Tyler for such profound and insightful lesson on The allegory of the olive tree. I’ve read Jacob 5 many times but not until now that I understand what this chapter is saying to me personally. You are absolutely “doing your job right”. I love it!
Thank you for studying with me. I appreciate you for the work you do. I just understood the way you all explained this. I look at this so differently now. I'm so grateful for technology so you can help me keep up with my studies. Thank you.
You are awesome!
I have been watching your videos for several months and am grateful for the insight and knowledge you freely give.
I love the scriptures and have had the blessing to teach from them many times. A labor of love.
Though not currently teaching the scriptures I still immensely enjoy searching the words of God. Jacob has long since been a favorite of mine. How pleased I am for your insights and the additional layer you provided.
I felt the Spirit in abundance. Thank you for doing this great work.
Thank you Camille for sharing this sweet note.
you BOTH are great instruments in the hands of the Lord!! as I listened to this lesson I was made aware (prompted?) that the Lord is right now, working in His vineyard, PRUNING, and NOURISHING as He has in the past, to strengthen us to produce better fruit, using what we call a "pandemic" but if we are patient, I believe wewill see another miracle or a blessing!--rick
I love this thought!
It's all about perspective. We can use the "trials of life" to be stepping stones or stumbling blocks..it is our choice. I know I have thought A LOT about the pandemic and what can "I" personally do to help, where do I lack that I might be made strong. " Look" for opportunities to become your better selves.
My husband and I spent an hour with you guys last night and I spent another hour this afternoon. Sooo much insight, so much clarity. I will never feel the same about this chapter. It's a miracle!
Thank you Louise for your generosity!
You both are so good! It is really a joy to listen to your insights each week! Thank You!
We really appreciate having you spend time with us!
I was brought to tears as I watched you draw the tree and compare what God did to his vineyard and what he is doing with me! I Love your podcst. Keep it coming.
Thank you for sharing this sweet note.
I’m SO glad you guys are still doing these! I have a newborn and haven’t been to church for a bit before this whole shut down and so your videos have meant a lot to me. It makes me feel like I’m still attending Sunday school ❤️
You are so appreciated, Chrissy. I've been there.
Chrissy York, I’m so glad that someone feels the way I do. I hope that these will be able to be produced forever!
So grateful for your wonderful lessons and insights. Thank you.
Thank you for watching Maresa. be sure to check out our free scripture study app www.scriptureplus.org/
As a life long member of the church I have never understood this allegory. NOW my eyes have been opened! With the mental illness plague of my family, I better understand the purpose of pruning. With the suicide of two children, I have been challenged to deepen my roots. Thank you for reminding me that I am not to council the Master of the vineyard but am to strengthen my roots to help strengthen others’ new growth.
This is beautiful Jo Rita. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for this insight! As soon as you were talking about shallow tree roots, it's like a light went on in my head. I have these 3 trees on my property that have been doing poorly every year - getting too much water - and I haven't been able to figure out how to help them. I realized that if I dig around them and get rid of the shallow roots, it might just be what these trees need. So then I took the kids outside and shared with them this exact principle and talked about how the events of the last few days are similar. God is digging around our roots, teaching us to sink our roots deeper in the gospel and preparing us for what is to come.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Reading the BOM again, I came upon Jacob 5 and struggled. Through watching your video, I've liken it unto myself and cried. Your video has helped me to 'see' things thoroughly and now I have gone back to reread Jacob 5 with much more enlightenment! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us through 2020! What a great year to have read the BOM!
Amen! I love this note!
I would never have thought these current closures would be for my benefit but the way you explained digging about the tree and strengthening the roots was very enlightening. I know I should not be but I am amazed at the way the Lord has prepared us all for this specific time. Thanks so much for your lessons.
Great insight, Dermot.
This is exactly what I needed. I know God is in the details of my life.
I never reply on these things but I just can’t not thank you enough for your teachings! I honestly feel like something changed inside me and I have a desire like I have never had before to be a part of this great work!! I can’t stop the tears from falling! I have been planted in such an amazing spot of ground. I have been raised by parents that have brought forth some of the most incredible fruit and I just need to help gather those who have not been given what I have been given. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me feel the spirit and know that this work is something I MUST be a part of!
Beautiful note, Tamra. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for using your time and energy to do this for us. I live alone so these lessons make me feel included. What a timely message - I love and trust my Saviour so much
We sure appreciate you, Peter!
I really enjoyed the way you broke down this scripture and explained the meaning so that we can apply it to our time. Thank you!!
Thank you Edwin!
WOW, I never really understood the Allegory of the tame and wild olive trees until today man that was amazing you guys are the best! wonderful blessing, a strong tree has moisture marrow to our bones. moisture, the gathering of Israel, Aposty, missionary work, the Lord said I never said it would easy I only said it would be worth it. The Lord's invitation come walk with me I am very grateful for the blessing of Home center learning Come Follow Me Program understanding the scriptures. thank you, Brother, Griffin and Brother Halverson
What a beautiful note, Grace. Many thanks!
I’m so grateful for the effort you put into these videos. I must admit that without Sunday School, I often gloss over and miss the whole point of a scripture. I’m thankful that during this time of isolation, I can turn to technology and still get the stimulus I need to look deeper at the scriptures and find meaning for myself. This week’s video really reached me. Thank you!
we are really happy to hear this, Tammy!
This was awesome and very insightful! I love how no matter the condition of the soil the Lord will produce fruits from His Trees. It makes me think of Jacob's childhood and I'm sure Jacob related to this section of the allegory. "And now, Jacob, I speak unto you: Thou art my first-born in the days of my tribulation in the wilderness. And behold, in thy childhood thou hast suffered afflictions and much sorrow, because of the rudeness of thy brethren."
Great insights, Jacob!
I always enjoy your presentations, thank you so much. I have understood more the Allegory of the vineyard . My name is Celia, from Mexico City.
amamos a nuestros amigos en mexico!
I found this really helpful. I could really feel God's love for me and all His children and how the Saviour labours with me when I keep His commandments. Thank you so much.
Mary
Thank you for watching, Mary!
Thank you. Glad the way you relate the scriptures to us.
Thanks Sue!
This has to be one of my favorite lessons! You two are amazing. Thank you so much for your time and teachings!
From the Netherlands, we love your lessons ,very interesting and uplifting. Thanks both of you .
we love our friends from the beautiful Netherlands!
Hello Netherlands! I love that you have the word ETHER in the name of your country. The bridge in front of your temple is so symbolic, it's a temple I plan to visit after we sanitize the earth and our homes and our aircraft. God bless you, be strong!
I really do appreciate the spirit you bring to me. Thank you. I am 81 years old, live in Britain Columbia, and love the lord. Thanks again and I hope you and your families are enduring this virus in good health.
We are so pleased to have you with us, Ellen!
Thank you, brethern, for sharing with us your knowledge and experience in the Book of Mormon, the scriptures. God bless you both and all who make these pod casts available to us.
Thank you for the kind words!
This video has so much insight, and I felt it so personally. Thank you again. I felt God's love for me and have an increased desire to do all I can to help gather Israel both in and out of the temple. By the way, Cape Verde is an example of a lot of good fruit in poor soil. The people there are extremely poor yet joining the Church in abundance. These are wonderful people with strong testimonies.
Thank you Meredith for this thoughtful note!
Thank you! I love the Book of Mormon and the Allegory of the Olive Tree. I love the words of prophet Jacob, his desire to make things "plain" to us and his reminder of God's patience and long-suffering with us. Thank you again for your insights and explanations of God's plain and precious truths.
We love to share and we appreciate you spending time with us.
Thank you for your messages and teaching, we watch with great enthusiasm. Our daily scripture study has greater meaning, especially in these changing times of the world.
Thanks for spending time with us Gerald.
Felt like I was back at Utah State being taught by Brother Griffin in inservice! This is amazing. Thank you for the insights. Three things that helped me the most
1-The layout. The four different time periods that were covered in this chapter
2-Beautiful teaching about the ground not being good but the tree still producing fruit. Many people came to my mind who maybe didn't have best ground but have produced amazing fruit.
3-Always wondered why the Lord of the Vineyard says lets burn the unfruitful branches. It makes sense now that it's not his true feelings, but it's really an invitation for us to step up and join him in the work. What a privilege to be part of it. WALK WITH ME. Ok, I will.
Thank you for doing these videos, it's the first I've seen and I'm excited to go back and look forward to more.
Thank you Reed for this kind feedback and insights!
You guys are AMAZING! This chapter makes The Book of Mormon come alive!😀
Thanks James!
Thank you so much for making it so much easier and enjoyable for me to learn the Book of Mormon. I feel like I'm in an institute classes with great two teachers. Thank you so much for your help, your time and the insights you share. I am learning so much from you both. 😊
Thanks for being part of this group!
Great help for understanding the Allegory....thanks for your time!
You are welcome, Linda!
In the Word of wisdom ( D&C 89)
“ Marrow to our bones” Is also our immune system. That’s were it all starts. By keeping and following the word of wisdom, we will have ability, antibodies to fight off the plagues and illnesses of the last days.
Yes, great call out to D&C 89. And we recommend you check our free new scripture study app www.scriptureplus.org/
Word of Wisdom is very important and we should be living by what the actual words say not what culture myth that we grew up in.
D&C 89:2 not by commandment nor constraint
D&C 89:5 use wine for the sacrament
D&C 89:17 mild barley drink aka beer is good for men
D&C (LDS 89:2,5,17) (RLDS 86) (1835 80) (1844 81)
2 To be sent greeting; not by commandment or constraint, but by revelation and the word of wisdom, showing forth the order and will of God in the temporal salvation of all saints in the last days-
5 That inasmuch as any man drinketh wine or strong drink among you, behold it is not good, neither meet in the sight of your Father, only in assembling yourselves together to offer up your sacraments before him.
17 Nevertheless, wheat for man, and corn for the ox, and oats for the horse, and rye for the fowls and for swine, and for all beasts of the field, and barley for all useful animals, and for mild drinks, as also other grain.

A few days ago, I was prompted to faithfully fast for the next four Sundays. Yikes, what a challenge from the Lord!
I don't always know WHY I receive certain promptings, but I've learned to obey quickly and without question. The reason always manifests itself.
Fasting will certainly help me focus on keeping the Sabbath holy as I have often been lazy & disobedient on previous fast Sundays. It's a new day. 🌻
Feed a cold, starve a virus? 😘
Thank you for adding so very much to my Sabbath day today....and to this beautiful allegory of the Olive Tree. You have brought forth much understanding and meaning.
Thanks for spending time with us, Karlyn!
Thank you for all the hard work you both do in preparing this material for us. Enjoying all the points you make and thinking how merciful God is to each of us. Love the point about pointing a finger at someone else but having 3 fingers pointed at ourselves. The Lord gives us so many chances to change but do we give others a chance, are we patient with others. Good lesson.
Awesome thought! And we hope you try our free scripture study app www.scriptureplus.org/
Thank you! Loved the way you teach and explain the allegory.
We love spending time with you, Esmeralda.
Thank you for sharing... these lessons help me better understand the gospel and great pictures
Great to hear from you Dennis.
So excited to see Brother Griffin. Took some classes from him at BYU and felt the spirit everyday. Thank you for sharing these insights.
Thanks Jake! He's an awesome teacher!
I always wondered why I was given such a hard life. I can say also that God has always been there for me and helped me to rise above my circumstance. Thanks for opening my eyes to something glorious.
Thank you for the sweet note!
Thank you for your CZcams video about Jacob 5, and the vineyard allegory. The Holy Ghost amplifies the beauty of the vineyard and your teachings. So grateful for you Brethren!
Thank you so much, I read you r dry day! Thank
You bet.
I watch from beginning to end, my soul is so delighted and my heart groans and wet my eyes because of the love of God for all of us. Thank you guys for the explanations you just did.
Beautiful thoughts.
Love these lessons. Thank You!
Thanks for taking time to watch!
Thank you for your teaching style. I love this site. I see God in the details of my life and of the world. I am so grateful for the Gospel.
We sure do appreciate you. We hope you try our free scripture study app www.scriptureplus.org/
Thank you once again. I can now get through Jacob 5, no problem. I get this now.
Awesome!
I absolutely loved this discussion! This is 2021 and in my Book of Mormon scripture study I decided to see what you guys had to say about Jacob 5. It completely change my view of this previous long and boring chapter. That you so much!
This is the best explanation I have encountered. There were so many little insights and messages that I can use to make this mortal experience better for myself and those around me. Thank you so much for your time and effort!
You are welcome Mindy. And there are far more insights packed into our free scripture app www.scriptureplus.org/
It took me many times in reading this part of the Olive tree allegory before I finally got it! We are the fruit! What we bring to our savior! I Love learning from you! Thank you for teaching me !
Love it, thanks for sharing.
I've always read words of Isaiah and Jacob 5 quickly cause I had no idea what it was about. Now after reading my scriptures I come and find your videos to get more insight to what I'm reading. Thank you brothers for all your hard work. And yes, after watching I do want to read my scriptures more. God bless.
Awesome!!
I've never realized you could apply this allegory personally. I've always thought of it historically. I'm excited to read it with that perspective now. Thank you!
Beautiful thought!
I love your videos. I’m learning so much. Thank you from Australia.
You are welcome, my friend.
I keep coming back to these lessons as I continue to reread the Book of Mormon.
I'm greatful they are still hear. I appreciate your comments on this chapter every time I read it.Thank you again.
Another fabulous lesson! Thank you so much! You two are wonderful teachers!!
We sure do appreciate you!
Enjoyed your added dimension of views on Zenos Allegory of the Olive Tree. And am especially grateful to know that Joseph Smith in a parable he recounted, of an olive tree vineyard, was named as the Servant in the Doctrine & Covenants 121:3. You mentioned the prophets as the servants and us as well. Thanks.
Great insight.
Thank you for this wonderful lesson!
We are happy to share. Thanks for watching.
Thank You All For The Way You Teach,So That I Can Understand .
We sure appreciate you!
You both are so helpful. Grateful for both of you.
We are grateful for you! Don't forget to check out our new scripture app www.scriptureplus.org/
I was introduced to your program by my 87 year old mother. She was so excited to find you. She says you have helped her understand the scriptures in a way she never has before. I have to agree with her. Thank you for your time, effort, and knowledge.
Love it!
And you are doing your job right! I’m grateful for these videos and the insights you both share. It makes wanting to delve in the scriptures more desirable and less daunting for some of us who might be tempted to quickly skim over a chapter here and there because of the complexity of the symbols. Keep them coming, please! 😊
Thank you for the encouragement Merari.
Thank you! The way you likened the allegory to individuals opened my eyes to what has happened to me and others and added another measure of trust in my Father in Heaven and His son. What blessing you both are to us!
Beautiful, thanks for sharing!
Thank you, I felt the spirit during your lesson. 🙏🏼
Thanks for sharing! And we hope you feel the same with our new scripture study app www.scriptureplus.org/
You two are the best really enjoy how you teach , great work.
Thanks John. We sure do enjoy working together!
I just can't thank you enough for doing these amazing lessons each week. I have followed the Come Follow Me program from day one, but have gotten so much more out of it since I included your lessons in my study plan. I have to study alone, but have two friends that share with me and I with them. One of those two turned me on to your site and I am so grateful! Thank you so much for doing this!
Great to have you join with us Paulette!
I really enjoyed your personal application of the olive trees, that we are pruned, dinged and grafted and God would be grieved to loose us, but the the savior says let me try again.
Thank you for watching, Lori. And check out our free scripture study app www.scriptureplus.org/
Thank you for teaching about the chapter 5
I was most excited for this lesson...and you guys definitely did it justice! And yes, I'd like to assure you that you're doing an amazing job because I've been reading my scriptures more carefully than I did before so thank you guys for that! I also really appreciate that Tyler goes deeper into the meanings and origins of words because I usually keep a dictionary nearby when doing my scripture study...it really does add so much more context and meaning to what you're reading...
Btw...I'm glad to see that BOM Central took my advice and gave you guys a bigger board!!! You're welcome! Also I hope you both and your loved ones stay safe during this challenging time and hope you can continue in whatever way to keep delivering these lessons without compromising your own health and safety...
Thanks for all the great suggestions! And we hope you are making use of the free scripture study app www.scriptureplus.org/
Spoiler Alert!! If this is the supplemental resource for what heaven is going to teach me, then I have been totally connected by it and am ready to dive in! You shared several priceless gems too - including "Raindrops of revelation" - "the garden should not be dictating to the gardener about what the gardener should be doing" - "I knew this was a poor spot of ground- you can be fruitful" - "Trust that I'm the gardener here" - "marrow, moisture" - "we are symbolically trees" - "digging a little deeper". As I have walked with you this morning and enjoyed the gardening lesson on pruning, digging, nourishing and grafting - I'm prepared to dive in and drink from the deep end, but boy, I am feeling refreshed and revitalised by the living waters. Thank you guys!
Wow, Daryl, you are always so kind and your writing beautiful.
I’m starting over from the beginning to study again the Book of Mormon front front to back. I love your videos it has helped me learn the gospel much deeper so I can dig deeper and be nourished by the word of God. Thank you for keeping the videos up. I like to rewatch it and learn. 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you Louisa!
Thanks for another great lesson! I had studied these chapters on my own before watching your video and had missed so many of the insights you both provided. Thanks especially for the enhanced explanation of Jacob 5:22. My husband and I had a great discussion about the new insights we have from this verse and what it means in our personal lives. Please continue your work!
Awesome!
I watch these videos numerous times and each time I learn something new. You guys are truly wonderful. The Book of Mormon has so much depth and devotional direction in guiding us on that path when we open its pages and meditate on its words. Thank you so much
Glad to hear this!
Thank you for sharing your depth of knowledge!
We sure do appreciate you!
I really Love the way you both teach and I am enjoying learning from you. I know God has blessed you to help us through these troubled times May god be with you. Lorraine in Boise, ID
We sure appreciate having you spend time with us.
Wonderful insight into a, forgive me, "tedious", chapter in the Book of Mormon. But what a treasure. The more I dig, the more I discover new gems. Thank you!
We really enjoy watching your programs here in Fredericia, Denmark ...Zander was a missionary here....He is the one that brought my attention to your work. Your insights are so appreciated by our adult institute group.
Zander is the man!
Our ancestors are from Denmark. Does the name Abildskov ring any bells? ❤️👸
