Experiencing God Through the Scriptures

This podcast was broadcast 11/7/2020. Following are the original show notes. Jared Halverson has been an institute teacher at the University of Utah for six years. He hails originally from Los Angeles. His YouTube channel/podcast, “Unshaken,” helps people study the scriptures. He is a former resident of Tennessee where he studied in the Divinity School at Vanderbilt University, where he is now a PhD candidate in Historical Studies with a focus on American religious history. While attending Vanderbilt, Jared sometimes was called upon to speak to college classes or to non-LDS congregations in the Nashville community to explain his religious beliefs, especially during the Mitt Romney presidential run. He was an avid athlete in high school (football and track) and interacted with a broad spectrum of religions among his boyhood friends, and served a Spanish-speaking mission.

The Divinity and Humanity of the Book of Mormon

Today we’re sharing a conversation that we had a lot of fun with, along with an exciting announcement about the work we’re doing at Faith Matters. Our guest was our friend Jared Halverson. Few people we know exude as much enthusiasm for scripture—the Latter-day Saint canon in particular—as Jared does. He’s someone who clearly loves and cherishes these holy texts, and has taken the best they have to offer to heart. He’s as genuine, loving, and big-hearted as they come.
