Unshaken Saints

by Jared Halverson

Seismic shifts in the religious and secular landscapes are destabilizing the faith of millions. Join religious educator Jared Halverson as he explores restored scripture, doctrine, history, and practice; examines patterns and pitfalls in navigating faith crisis; and wrestles with ways to make your faith unshaken. ___________ Hello my friends, I’m Jared Halverson and this is Unshaken. I’ve spent my life studying the scriptures, my professional career teaching them, and my education at a Bible-belt divinity school exploring ways they have been used and abused, attacked and defended. And I’d like to share with you some of the things I’ve learned. In March of 2020 I created a YouTube channel called Unshaken, and six months later we hit our one millionth view, as people around the world are eagerly pursuing an unshaken faith in God by immersing themselves in His word. More and more viewers have been asking for an audio-only version of the lessons on Unshaken, and this podcast is my attempt to meet those needs. What it lacks in the visuals shown on YouTube, or the polished sound of a podcast-only production, it hopefully makes up for in its accessibility to the drivers, joggers, and multi-taskers out there who want to study their scriptures “on the go.” To you, welcome to our verse-by-verse, Come Follow Me study of the scriptures. I pray that it helps your faith in Christ become unshaken. __________ Disclaimer: The content of these podcasts is the sole responsibility of their creator and does not reflect the official position of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or the Church Educational System.

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’m so grateful for Jared Halverson! He helped me understand the Old Testament as I read it for the first time, and was a comforting voice through hard times in my life. I love his insights and listening to this podcast has increased my desire to follow Christ and my scholarly desires. He is someone who has “published peace” in my life!!

My seven kids, husband and I have been listening to this podcast for a while now as part of our scripture study. Because of Jared’s love, knowledge and excitement for the scriptures it has rubbed off on my kids and they beg me to listen to the podcast again. If you want to learn the scriptures in a way you never had, listen to this! Thank you so much, Jared, for sharing your love and gift of your knowledge with us. I’m not over exaggerating when I say you have changed our whole family’s lives.

This is absolutely one of my favorite Come Follow Me podcasts. I have been listening to him since he was doing YouTube lessons for his Institute students and now he’s one of my favorite Education Week presenters. I could listen to him all day and appreciate that it feels like I’m taking a class at BYU in the comfort of my own home when listening to the podcast.
