Hello my friends welcome back to Unshaken I'm Jared Halverson and I hope you not only survived but enjoyed last week's marathon dive into the Isaiah chapters of the Book of Mormon. I know those were long lessons and you're welcome to some of you and I'm sorry to others of you.

0:25.2

I know I can't please everyone and I wish that I could but I finally resigned myself to my fate

0:30.4

realizing that man despite the insanity of it all, I can't leave a stone unturned.

0:36.2

I can't leave a scripture unintroduced.

0:39.0

And so I think I'm finally resigned to the reality that I'm going to be going

0:44.0

verse by verse until we catch back up to where we started four years ago at the

0:48.9

end of Jacob. So the next few weeks they'll be longer lessons and then we'll cut down drastically with old

0:56.0

materials still available to those who want the deep dive.

0:59.4

It's been interesting.

1:00.6

In the same week, I was called a liar for keeping things longer when I had said I'd make them shorter and I was told I was listening to the devil for trying to shorten these things at all.

1:18.6

1:24.4

I pray it's a blessing to you and I know it's a blessing to me.

1:27.8

So thank you for allowing us to study together.

1:31.1

Now one other thing I wanted to give you a heads up about is this

1:34.9

weekend I'm going to be posting a special episode of Unshaken that's going to be

1:39.5

a recording of a presentation I gave at BYU last month that I feel is one of the most important

1:46.3

things I've taught in a long, long time.

1:49.8

It was filmed and posted on YouTube by

1:52.8

by BYU but it was in a large auditorium the sound was absolutely horrific

1:56.8

so I asked them if I could have a copy and post it myself and with the help of some audio wizards out there try to make it so it was

2:06.2

actually palatable to the ear. I will post that this weekend and honestly I'm inviting you to share this with people who need it.

2:18.1

I would love for this message.
