What a blessing the restored gospel is! Thank you for sharing this heart-warming message.
Such a blessing to be able to live in a time where we can all have access to these kind of resources to help us learn more about the scriptures. To truly study the scriptures. It’s not just a BYU students opportunity anymore. Thank you! What a blessing.

This is exactly what I've felt for years, that if its good enough for BYU students its good enough for regular members of the church! :)
I had been thinking a lot about why so many of my close friends have fallen away from the church and how it happens so quickly. When President Griffin explained the dominoe effect and how the Satan works it truly was an answer to my prayer. Its helped me realize what I can do. I love all the light bulb moments that happen when things are explained in a way I can understand. Thank you for sharing your talents, spirits, time with me. Your love for our Savior and his gospel is palpable. I am so grateful for answers to prayers. I am grateful for my Savior. I am so thankful for the gospel and the direction it gives us in these crazy yet wonderful times. I am thankful for the peace only the Savior can give.

I am truly so grateful for you both, and Don’t Miss This. I’m 68 and have never understood the Book Of Mormon. You fine men deliver your knowledge about the teachings of God and our Savior with such conviction and love. You will never know how much this has meant to me. I finally have the knowledge of the BOM as well as my faith that I always felt. I realize now you can never have true faith without doing the work and reading and studying the scriptures. Again, thank you for your enlightening classes.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Your lesson has just put into perspective what I have been dealing with for the past 35 years and have just this weekend walked away from. My faith cannot be transferred, it has to be earned, spiritual work brings spiritual blessings and those not prepared to do the work, will in the end gain nothing. Very sad that some people are not willing to suspend disbelief and just experiment on the word. I love the gospel and your lessons just feed me. I am grateful beyond anything I can express, thank you again.

In this lesson you stated that when talking about why so much evil is talked about in the B of M and offered your Zot and not Zot concept as a total made up theory and that we wouldn't find this any where in the B of M. Thou that exact example does not appear in the B of M, the doctrine or truth to which it references is taught in 2 Nephi 2:11, 15. "There must needs be opposition in all things" !
