Part 1 (of 4) exploring Zenos's Allegory of the Olive Tree found in Jacob 5. Part 1 includes background information (Why did Jacob include this allegory? Who was Zenos and what was his main message?) and a summary of the history described in the allegory. The other segments explore insights from the allegory relating to those whose faith in themselves (part 2), in the Church (part 3), or in God (part 4) have been shaken. Join Jared Halverson as he discusses the longest chapter in the Book of Mormon.

In Jacob 4 of the Book of Mormon, Jacob teaches how our faith becomes unshaken, including some of the blessings that result from the process. Join religious educator Jared Halverson in a study of this chapter that can supplement your Come Follow Me study at home.

Shaken faith is one of the signs of the times. But there are ways to fortify faith and make it "unshaken." Jared Halverson has spent the last 20 years teaching religion for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and is currently finishing a PhD in American Religious History from Vanderbilt, where he has focused on anti-religious rhetoric. A popular teacher and speaker, Jared frequently meets one-on-one with people who are struggling spirituality, and is creating this channel to share some of the principles that have proven helpful. Tune in to see what this channel intends to be: a place to study the scriptures, learn principles to strengthen your faith, and discover how to deal with doubt. Come and see how to become "unshaken."
