Powerful
I have to say, I am a novice at the scriptures but have loved learning from them for a long time. After teaching early morning seminary for seven years I cannot get enough. I just have a deep desire to learn all I can. Your podcasts just fill me up with joy and hope and even more excitement to go and learn for myself. Thank you for all you do and for your wonderful guests. My recent favorite is Dr Ross Baron!! Wonderful, wonderful episode!

One of my "CAN'T MISS" Podcasts ...
Hank and John are great. I feel like I am back in seminary with two incredible teachers that want to not only you to understand the topic at hand, but want you to FEEL it as well. I love the guests and topics, even if John's corny dad jokes make me groan at times. This is a podcast the whole family will love!

One of my favorites!
Michael McLean is one of my favorites. Someone gave me one of his cassettes back in the 80s when I joined the church and it started and wonderful journey. He says things in a way that teach me because for me it’s also true (and not irreverent) that “sometimes a song teaches me a truth the only way my heart will hear.”

Thank you!
I’ve been listening to your excellent podcast from the get go and have learned so much! I really appreciate this sharing of insights with so many people. The last few weeks have come out a little earlier than normal and I am loving the extra time it gives me to incorporate it into my lessons. Thanks for all you do!!

Scholarly and Intellectually focused
I make this podcast part of my weekly diet of gospel study. The majority of the episodes are scholarly and intellectually focused. Occasionally the podcast surprises me with unique guests and overall I find it very thoughtful. Sometimes the podcast feels like an “old school” Sunday School lesson where the guests are just trying to cover all the content in the Come Follow Me lesson. Hank and John help to balance things with their perspectives and insights, but I feel that it reinforces old practices of covering content to just cover content. With the right approach it is still very insightful and worth my time.

Love the show, but the timing of the release is off
Maybe I just don’t how to work my phone, but when they release two episodes each week, part 2 always ends up playing first because it’s the newest release. Maybe y’all could release part 2 first then part 1, so that I don’t have to go back into the show to fetch part 1. Or maybe I just need to learn how to get them to play in order w/o all the extra effort

Brings Come, Follow Me to Life!
When Come, Follow Me first debuted as the standardized Church curriculum, I will admit that I had a hard time bringing it into my life and to my family in a meaningful way. Listening to this podcast every week has gotten me excited about the scriptures and sparked a renewed passion for scripture study on my own and with my family. During the pandemic, my testimony struggled and this podcast brought me out of the dark. Thank you Hank and John and to all your fabulous guests! Your podcast is a treat every week :)

The spirit touched me so powerfully through Michael McLean
I love this podcast and have loved learning with all of the scholars you bring on but this episode is my favorite. Michael has written modern day psalms that truly touched me as he sang them. I haven’t felt the Spirit as strongly as I did listening to this episode in a long time. Thank you so much.

Loved Dr. Huntsman
I loved just listening to the testimony and words of Dr. Huntsman. My favorite of his words, “sometimes it’s just good because it helps you feel God!” I’ve always hated hearing people say they learn something new each time they go to the temple. It made me wonder what was wrong with me. I loved hearing him talk about this topic! It felt like me. I feel God each time I go there. I feel the spirit while listening to this podcast and especially listening to Dr. Huntsman’s testimony and live for these Psalms. Thank you so much!

Essential Listening
It’s helpful to have scriptural resources and some vary in quality. I would say this is an essential listen to get some needed context into what we are studying each week in “Come, Follow Me.”

Good show - More guest time
The episodes with Adam Miller were great. I wish I had heard more from him than I did. The hosts are great, but I felt the episode had more of the hosts comments/thoughts than the guest (not that they weren’t good comments) . Would have loved to hear more of Dr. Miller’s thoughts. Thank you for sharing!

Good but could be better
I’ve listened to three or so other podcasts that cover the Come Follow Me lessons, and frankly I was surprised that I liked this one the most. Hank and John are funny and at times insightful, and their guests are of a very high scholarly quality and are faithful. Therein lies my complaint. To exaggerate to make my point, sometimes Hank and John are so caught up in their own patter that they seem to forget they have a guest. I was really looking forward to Adam Miller discussing Job, and he did a good job. But I bet if the episode was analyzed that less than one half of the dialogue was Adam Miller teaching us about Job. Hank and John need to honor their guests by giving them more time to share their message.

Esther - Wow, another whitewash!
Normally this is my favorite podcast for enhancing scripture study, but this one was a stretch! It was said the king spent time with each virgin to decide on who would be queen, but no mention that it was at night in his bed. Emphasizing some positive aspects is great but let’s not leave out what the text actually says! This type of wresting the scriptures drives me crazy, and every religion does it! Esther is a delightful literary work possibly on par with a Shakespeare comedy, not meant to be taken literally imo. It’s full of reversals, exaggerations, satire, absurdities, a great heroine, patriotism & events to create hope. Please don’t try to turn it into the story of the brother of Jarred or anything else that it ISN’T!! Also, I don’t call killing 75,000 people as being merciful, or asking for a 2nd day to kill 300 more as not being vengeful! This story is meant to be a huge exaggeration, and certainly not a morality tale! It is a very chilling portent, as portraying the first (of many) extermination orders against the Jews. But here, for a change, they are allowed to defend themselves, hence a festival!

Favorite podcast!
I LOVE this podcast and have never missed an episode. They are so great at discussing the scriptures, their history, and the culture surrounding the time that’s being explained. I feel goosebumps as I learn and I’ve found this to be my favorite method of learning :) Thank you Hank and John for the hours and hours put into each podcast and for the amazing guests you bring on each week. I tell everyone I can that they should listen and have helped many more people be ‘addicted’ as well :)

Increases My Learning
I love this podcast! I started using this as one resource when I was called as a Gospel Doctrine teacher and still continue listening and learning in my new calling. Understanding the context of these scriptural stories, and all the details that the scholars and experts share during their time on the show, builds a more complete scriptural picture for me and deepens my understanding. “Good information leads to good inspiration.” Each weekly guest brings good information that really helps to increase my understanding. Thank you for the work you are doing.

Amazing!
I love this podcast! So spiritually uplifting and the guests bring so much more depth and understanding to the sometimes hard to understand Old Testament. I also love the background they give that brings it all in to focus. I was just called to be the Sunday School teacher in my branch and a lovely sister recommended this podcast. Already this podcast has helped me with my own study and with my preparation to teach beyond measure. I am so thankful for this podcast and being able to listen to it again and again while I’m at work.

Thank you for this podcast! I started listening earlier this summer and wish I would have found you much sooner. I feel like I am in an institute class again. I love learning from experts who have a deep knowledge of the scriptures and history and the Greek and Hebrew languages. Thank you and thanks to all your guests! This is making the Old Testament much more engaging to learn from.

I was referred to this Podcast by a Sister whom we minister to. I decided to give it a chance and was captivated by it. I listened to Dr Sears, Hank and John and felt very well taught about King Hezekiah and the events happening about that time period. I am so impressed with the knowledge shared and insights given by Dr. Sears. Thank you to Hank and John for hosting this Podcast…very much needed for me.

The Blessing of Diverse Voices
I have been listening to your podcast for several years and it has gotten me through some very challenging times. I love the approach that you take and I listen every week. As a woman it is especially meaningful for me when you invite diverse voices onto the podcast. Because of the types of experts you have chosen to use, diverse voices in terms gender and race are rare, but to reach the worldwide audience of the church I would love you to continue the effort to invite diverse voices onto the podcast. It really makes a difference for everyone. Thank you for all the work that you do!

Take your scripture understanding to the next level
Hard to say what my favorite thing about this podcast is, but here are 3: 1)The weekly experts seem to always bring understanding to scripture passages I’ve had trouble understanding. 2) They always tie the weeks lesson to words of the current prophets and apostles, and 3) Seems like every episode one of them says something that really hits home and I feel the Spirit. This is my favorite podcast.

Worst comedy podcast
In every episode John makes a crappy joke that nobody in the real world would ever think is funny but true to form, whomever the guest is will do a forced awkward laugh that makes them sound like a crazy person.

Thank you for such an inspiring and uplifting podcast!
This is such a great addition to any Come Follow Me study. I’ve learned so much and been so motivated to study and learn the scriptures better for myself. I write a monthly religion and faith column for our local newspaper and I’ve gotten so many ideas with sources from these podcasts. I’ve been led to so many wonderful conference talks and such a better understanding of the scriptures and the context in which they were written and the lessons the Lord has for us to learn from them. Thank you so much Hank and John for your time and effort and to everyone associated with the podcast, along with the gospel scholars who teach so much!

This is the best come follow me podcast. Hank and John are perfect hosts, and the guests are wonderful. The scholarship of the guests is truly amazing! This is the first time I can say that I am enjoying studying the Old Testament, AND I’m understanding it too (miracles!!) This podcast is a blessing to me! I loved the Doctrine and Covenants and Church History last year too.

The #1 CFM Podcast
I’ve listened to a number of CFM podcasts but this is THE BEST. Learning from the hosts and invited scholars has grown my love for the Old Testament (which I never thought possible!) I find myself excited to hear the upcoming podcast and hungry to learn more. Thank you for all you are doing to help grow my understanding.

Very easy to listen to
These are very learned scholars about the Gospel, some are professors of religion. I am trying to strengthen my testimony of Jesus Christ and of Heavenly Father and I have chosen this podcast to do so. I want to get back on the Covenant Path. It’s so easy to listen to and it’s doctrinally sound with quotes from Prophets and General Conference talks. It’s down to Earth talk and gives applications for real life. And teaches great Gospel principles.

I just discovered this podcast after being referred to it by different family and friends. I now look forward to it every week. The content enhances my gospel study in a way I couldn’t do on my own, the scriptures have become more real and understandable, and my faith and resolve to Follow Him strengthened.

Changed my life!
I’m so grateful for your podcast and how it helps me with so many insights to the scriptures. One of the best things to come out of the Covid crisis. Studying the scriptures has always been a little intimidating for me. The Old Testament seemed way over my head. I can remember avoiding Sunday School because of my feelings of inadequacy. Now my love and appreciate the Old Testament. I have learned so much and continue to grow from your tremendous insights, and the insides of your guests. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Both rare and well done😉
Hank and John, in conjunction with their guests, do a wonderful job of helping to interpret scriptural text, discern practical everyday application, and share personal insight in a manner that inspires hope in and dedication to the cause of Christians everywhere. I’ve said it before: listening to them is like walking the covenant path with old friends who just want to understand and discuss the journey.

Birds and Twigs
You reminded me of a quote while listening to episodes 26: “You can’t stop a bird from dropping a twig on your head but you can stop it from building a nest.” Sometimes you can’t stop yourself from seeing sometimes bad, you are in school/work/in a fallen world and you see something on accident. You often times can’t control that, but you can control what you do with that “twig”. You can also choose to run away from the bird if possible. Thank you Hank and John for this podcast, I love it. It makes me excited for my future.

I recently found this podcast and started listening. It is so insightful and very helpful in understanding the Old Testament.

It brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for creating this podcast and for being spiritually in tune.

Great resource for Come, Follow Me
I listen to this podcast every week, it's a really good one! The different guests and insights each week are really helpful. I do prefer when they bring in more of the real life application, not just focusing on the historical aspect, but that seems to vary based on the guest.

Lesson study staple
This podcast keeps me uplifted throughout the week. It’s become a staple of my Come Follow Me study. I listen while I do housework, while I drive kids around so hopefully my kids will listen a little bit, while I get ready for the day… whenever I can work it in! Along with my church music playlist and the scheduled weekly lesson, this podcast helps keep me in the right spiritual head space throughout the week and gives me great comments to share in church :) The hosts and guests are full of good insights.

This is an amazing podcast where the hosts bring in experts (primarily from BYU) that provide great insights into the culture of the day and the meaning. It as been enlightening and faith building. I usually listen to it in 2-3 days per episode and I am sad that I have to wait almost another week for a new episode. Thanks to everyone who makes this (my favorite) podcast possible.

This podcast is fabulous! I learn so much each week. It really helps me understand more about the cultures during those time periods.

I really appreciate this podcast for an in-depth study of the Old Testament and the genuine enthusiasm of the hosts. Some of my most favorite parts are the weekly “Follow Him Favorites”—they are highly relevant topics to the things my teenagers are experiencing and prompt great discussions in our family. Their insights and scripture cross references shed so much light on important gospel questions. Thank you so much for all you do!!

This podcast makes the scriptures come alive
I love reading scripture verses and then coming to this podcast to get rich historical context and deeper understanding of what’s happening in the verses. The Doctrine and Covenants and Old Testament are not the easiest for me to follow or understand on my own, so when I’m looking for a broader understanding, this podcast really helps. All the guest scholars do a lovely job and Hank and John are awesome at lending perspective.

Mind Opening!
Highly recommend this podcast for in depth scripture study. Love, love, love the guests, who illuminate, define, expound, and provide the history and culture and meaning to scriptures. Bytheway and Smith are wonderful hosts who ask revelatory questions and provide insights into hard to understand (why does God order the Israelites to wipe out an entire city?) doctrines. I want to download and save every episode so I can listen to them again and again. I’ve learned soooo much and hope the podcasts keep going even after we have cycled through the standard scriptures. There is so much to learn. Eating it all up! Thank you!

Insightful, Inspiring, and Faith-filled
I’ve been listening to this podcast from its inception and my life and faith have been changed for the better for it. Each episode has relevant conversations about what life was like for the people we read about in the scriptures, and how it’s incredibly applicable to our lives today. I’ve never had so much empathy and drawn so many parallels from the scriptures, to my own personal struggles. It can be challenging to understand/focus on learning from the scriptures and even from church leaders of our day sometimes, but this podcast makes the kind of gospel knowledge/insight I always wished I could attain through my own scripture studying efforts alone, accessible to everyone. Thank you for the amazing work you do to strengthen your own testimonies, and in so doing, strengthen each of ours.

Love what they're able to pull out of the Old Testament and still apply it to our day in age. Fun to study while listening to this podcast. So so good! 🤓😎 also I think it's awesome they bring in scholars to dive deeper. They make everything make sense.

I only discovered this podcast in January and someday I hope I’ll be able to go back and listen to previous episodes. The thought and care that goes into these discussions is impressive. Each week I leave the lesson feeling that this was the best one yet! Thank you for this service!! It has enriched my life.

I usually guilt myself into doing my doing my scripture study by saying that I can listen to my current novel after I get it done.

This come follow me podcast has helped me study more deeply and thoroughly. The hosts are very attentive and explain what the guests say in a different perspective. They ask relevant stories and have brought me closer to the spirit and continue to do so. The guests beautifully choreograph their words in a way someone who is just baptized can understand to people who have been members for their life and they’re on the verge of returning to Heavenly Father. Love it soooooo much!!!!!!!!!

This review is for Hank Smith. I was at Dixie high school the same years as you in fact I graduated in 1997 it is so cool to see you and John Bytheway do a podcast and I love to be able to tell people that I went to school with Hank Smith! But to add onto the Easter show I proposed to my wife at the St. George Temple grounds in 2006!

Life-Changing!
I’ve come to love and enjoy this podcast, which has been running now for several years, for two reasons: 1) John and Hank are humble, good-natured, good-humored, sincere, and spiritual. I love that they’re doing this podcast for the right reasons, and not to push any sort of “brand” or celebrity status. 2) The insights are unparalleled. It is awe-inspiring to hear from such a wide range of biblical and scriptural experts coming in the show each week. This has reinvigorated my faith and understanding of the scriptures in remarkable ways. I highly recommend giving this show a listen and returning regularly! Thank you, John amd Hank!

When my kiddos were teenagers, we had all of Hank’s CDs and they were such a blessing to us! I’m so glad my sister told me about this podcast!

EP 11 is the Mic Drop
I have loved all of these episodes. The deep-dive experts have given me pause many times as I’ve gained new perspective and learning. But this episode on “anti-fragile” and trusting and enduring is a life-changer. I found myself wanting to pause every 20 seconds just to think about each nugget more deeply. I have shared with so many people and I haven’t even gotten to the end of it. Man, I sure would love the cruise ship sometimes… but the trade-off wouldn’t be worth it in the end.

I’ve been listening for a while, not able to catch it every week but grateful for the episodes I can go back to. Bro. Smith and Bro. Bytheway are such a great team. The guests are always so inspiring and incredibly knowledgeable. Where do they find them?! I’ve taught many lessons based on the words spoken here. I hope you keep the podcast going for many many years. I rely on you heavily for my come follow me at home. Thank you guys! You’re truly the best!

Struggling Listener
I love most of the content of the Podcasts but I go crazy with speakers using Um and Uh as filler words. Especially John Bytheway. I don’t think he can go 1 sentence without at least 1 uh or um and usually multiple. I’m not saying this to be mean. It is just difficult to listen to. Especially from people who’s professions are speakers and teachers. Please bring this to his attention. I’m sure he can overcome it. I’m guessing it will be harder to ask the guests. Thank you. I actually Fasted for the Lord to help me to filter out the filler words when I’m listening It helped a little. Thank you Thank you Thank you John. I am so impressed. So quickly you eliminated the uhs and um’s from your vocabulary. I am super happy. Now if you would please ask Hank to do the same. Thank you again. And the guest didn’t use filler words and sounds either. What a breath of fresh air.

My favorite Come Follow Me resource!!!
I love this podcast! Thanks for your efforts! I can’t wait until we get to the Book of Mormon! Your guests are fantastic and I enjoy when new ones come and previous guests return. Can I make one suggestion? It’s a small thing, but I would really appreciate it if you would upload each episode in reverse order. What I mean by that is make it so when my podcasts are set to sort episodes chronologically (newest to oldest). I would love to be able to tap the part one for each week and then have it automatically move to part two. As to is now, part two is newer than part one which means I have to stop at the end of part one, then find part two (which may involve a bit of scrolling, which isn’t the end of the world (first world problems 🤷🏼♂️). This small backend change would not alter the content of the podcast at all, but I thing it would make its easier to listen to. Believe is how episodes appear now: 9.Genesis 24-27 : followHIM Favorites 9.Genesis 24-27 : Part 2 : Dr. Camille Olsen 9.Genesis 24-27 : Part 1 : Dr. Camille Olsen And this is how I would like them to appear (if possible): 9.Genesis 24-27 : Part 1 : Dr. Camille Olsen 9.Genesis 24-27 : Part 2 : Dr. Camille Olsen 9.Genesis 24-27 : followHIM Favorites

This podcast is the highlight of my week. Over the last two years I have had huge shifts in my perspective on gospel related topics. Those shifts have increased my faith and given me courage to move forward in my life. Thank you for the time and effort that goes into putting this together. Our nightly family prayers with my kids usually start out with some thing like “when I was talking to Hank and John today this is what I learned…” 😊

This podcast has been a great boon to my personal and family Come Follow Me studies. Hank Smith and Jon Bytheway set a cheerful, curious, and comfortable tone in a podcast that is packed with enlightening commentary, rich historical context, and powerful testimony. Their guests likewise come with particular expertise on each week’s subject matter. Week to week, I’ve loved learning, laughing, and exploring the gospel of Jesus Christ along with the hosts and their special guests. What a faith-affirming, beautiful, and uplifting podcast. Considering how much it has blessed and enhanced my own gospel study, I can only imagine its worldwide impact. Many, many thanks from Washington State!

Pleasantly Surpassed My Expectations
I was at first skeptical to listen to this podcast because I didn’t want another institute or seminary lesson from a couple of seminary teachers. After listening I found this podcast to be exceptionally more than just a gospel discussion of scripture. Bytheway and Smith are fantastic and humble hosts to knowledgeable guests who bring in a balance of scholarly and spiritual information. I learn new things from this podcast every week and enjoy the discussions. Well done!

This is the best podcast for learning come follow me. Super deep into every subject so I feel I’m learning new things about books and storiesI have read dozens of times and spent my whole life’s learning about. Only critique. I really cannot tell the difference between the hosts. Is it Bytheway, or Smith speaking at any given time? Who knows.

The Gospelcomes to life in this podcast
I know John B from my experiences with EFY in the 90’s. I have heard a good number of Hank’s talks to youth and adults. This dynamic duo are a mix of learning and laughter. I agree with the podcast founder the late Bro Sorensen that for some people sitting to do come follow me can be challenging even with prayer and study. The Old Testament is “really hard” for me. I teach the 14-15 yr olds and I want them to love the scriptures. I was nervous that my blocks around OT scripture would make my lessons dry. My January and February classes have been so much more meaningful and fun to learn together as I bring in some of insights and perspective the podcast offers. I tip my hat to both of you for taking the time with both of your busy schedules to help us better understand the God of Love and feel His love more deeply through meaningful scripture study. Love and respect to both of you Shane Adamson

Best Scripture study resource out there!
I found this podcast last April during our Doctrine and Covenants study and let me tell you, this is the most helpful and easily accessible resource there is! As someone who struggles with sitting down to study the scriptures, I highly recommend this resource. It allows me to listen while I’m cleaning my house, driving or cooking dinner and while I’m listening I jot down notes as I’m prompted by the spirit. This podcast has not only helped enhance my personal studies but also our family scripture study. This podcast doesn’t just read the scriptures to you. It offers you a history of what’s going on during that time period and valuable information that allows you to connect the dots between the different books of scripture. Each week a guest who has been formally trained in the area of the weekly Come, Follow Me curriculum topic shares doctrinal truths with a depth of information that brings the scriptures to life! The hosts John and Hank have a wonderful dynamic that invite the spirit and make studying fun! It’s a wonderful balance of humor and vulnerability topped with beautiful layers of truth that the spirit will surely whisper to your heart as he has mine. If you are worried about the length of each episode, don’t be! The time passes quickly and it will leave you with a desire to keep studying! Thank you to everyone involved who makes this podcast possible! I am so grateful for this resource! Keep up the good work ☺️💛

Testimony-building Insights
They are so wonderful in speaking to the common individual rather than showing off their scriptorian abilities. This was recommended by a friend who said that the insights shared about Mother Eve strengthened her testimony unlike any other account of Eve she had ever learned in the past. I highly recommend this resource to build your testimony and truly understand and appreciate the Old Testament. Thank you!

I’m a normal person without hours and hours to study the scriptures every week, but I so want to know more! I am so grateful for these podcasts that help me gain deeper insight— and I can listen to them as I drive, clean, etc. It keeps the scriptures with me all day as I listen to a few minutes here and there— which keeps the Spirit more with me and I am so grateful for that! Thank you!

Reading Eusebius; and this is a great resource to understanding the scriptures from a more academic perspective deconstructing the texts for a deeper understanding. Honest literary criticism. Finally have something that appeals to my better senses rather than the droning acolytes.

Great Study Addition
I have listenend to these podcasts pretty much weekly for about a year now. Mostly well done with great and informative supporting guests. I'm pleased it's now covering Old Testament this year. My only complaint is that on occasion Hank will make comments that are incongruent with that stated in the Church's official lesson manual and talks given by the Apostles and Prophets (ie all statements regarding section 82 verse 7) He seems to keep coming back to this verse as saying "false doctrine" and "that's not what the Lord is saying" when those whose prerogative it is to say what doctrine is and what the Lord means have said otherwise. I realize it's often difficult to watch every word in a setting such as this but it's their repsonsiblity as well to make sure that they aren't teaching things that are their opinion as fact. It really should be presented as being opinion, or that there are different ways of looking at things if that's how they want to go about it. Otherwise well done.

A Million Thank you’s
I’m so very grateful for the time efforts and talents that are put into this podcast. It has helped me increase my spirituality 100 fold. I have had a greater desire to study out my scriptures and have found myself wanting to repent. Not because I have committed any great sins, but because I want to change and be better. It’s a different kind of repentance than the culture has taught for so many years. I’m so grateful to each guest that brings their a game and their testimony to the show. And to John and Hank and their humility and willingness to see and hear through there listeners and viewers eyes and ears.

most entertaining and powerful podcast ever❤️!
I’m 17 years old and found this podcast a few months ago, I cannot express how much this podcast has taught and strengthened my testimony. Church has always been enjoyable but my relationship with my Heavenly Father has grown immensely and the teachings and understandings of the gospel make so much sense. GREAT EPISODE: Season 1 Episode 9 and 10. Hank Smith and John Bytheway are wonderful and every comment they make are just powerful. Thiss podcast is powerful!! I’ve neverrr been bored listening to these episodes which is shocking! Most podcasts get kinda boring but I get so excited every week they post. One thing I do love is how they debunk false misconceptions and stereotypes that are commonly assumed or mistaken by members and nonmembers about the church and teachings. I recommend this podcast to all members, there is so much to learn. Not only are they sharing these wonderful words with listeners but also with all members as listeners share what they learn from this podcast in their callings and families.

Through this pod cast I feel like I am a more active learner of the gospel. Thank you from me and thank you from my family who will get a better version of me because of your team!

Insightful, meaningful, beautiful podcast
This podcast is blessing my life in so many ways! I love hearing from different people each time and learning from their education and experience. The Spirit is able to teach me something specific to my life every time I listen! The most recent episode with Dr. Jenet Erickson is so powerful! Every parent should listen. She helps to shift our perspective from conventional parenting (power, punishments, controlling children’s behavior) to really the way I think our Heavenly Parents parent us. So enlightening and energizing! I loved every minute! Thank you for putting these together!

Love this!
This podcast has been so amazing for me. It has helped me to understand the scriptures better, increased my faith, and invited the Spirit into my life to receive personal revelation. And I’ve only been listening for three weeks! I love the graciousness of what I’ve been hearing. I’m hearing the gospel being interpreted through a more liberal lense than the one through which I had been looking at it. I especially love the Genesis 5; Moses 6 episode with Dr. Jenet Erickson. It’s like you all were describing my own parenting life, which helped me to see that I am not the only one. Also in this episode I loved Dr. Erickson’s emphasis on the importance of not being ashamed of our imperfections. And again, simply the liberal-ness of the conversation loosens and opens up my mind and heart. Thank you!

Changing my views if the scriptures for the better
The Follow Him podcasts have provided insight that have impacted my views on the Nature if God and where I fit in His plan. It’s a perfect help for scripture study. The guest speakers are top in the field and provide the best commentary. Five star for me!

SO enlightening
I have learned so much, gained so many insights, had so many aha moments with Follow Him this last year. And I am one of those who, after reading the Old Testament from cover to cover several years ago, concluded it was better for my testimony never to do that again. But now I am LOOKING FORWARD to wonderful new perspectives in that sacred book, prepared and preserved by God.

This podcast is priceless! What a valuable resource to learn and make the scriptures come to life and have deeper meaning to me. It is life-changing. So thankful for Hank Smith and John Bytheway for dedicating so much time to do this, as well as their incredible guests. I appreciate the humor, the wisdom, and the humility shown on this podcast. I can’t thank these men enough for following the inspiration they received to begin this and follow through. What a blessing it’s been!

I love learning from Hank and John. And it’s so awesome to also hear from their guest speakers. I always feel the comforting proclamation of “This is true” from the Holy Ghost when I listen to this podcast. I can apply what I learn to my spiritual progression and historical scripture education.

Absolutely wonderful and enlightening
Sadly I just found this podcast, though I wish I had found it 3 years ago to better understand the scriptures during the previous Come Follow Me years. I’m super excited to use this to better understand the Old Testament and gain insights from some amazing scholars that Hank and John bring on, let alone the knowledge the two of them are capable of sharing as well. Thanks for this wonderful resource.

Before starting this year’s CFM, I was NOT looking forward to the Old Testament. After listening to the insight on this podcast, however, I’m able to lead the family discussions and drop nuggets of epic wisdom on the fly. Such a good podcast!!!!!!!!

Amazing Insights
I appreciate this podcast and the scholars you have on to explain the Old Testament. In my 57 years I have never been so excited to learn about the Old Testament. The time, effort and the thoughtfulness that you put in to your podcast make this a very useful tool in studying the Scriptures.

Sunday School is More Engaging
I love this podcast! During Sunday School I find myself getting more engaged with the lessons and repeating insights from the podcast (with references and shameless plugs of course). Even if you don’t read the Come Follow Me lessons, the podcast provides a thought-provoking discussion of scripture, with background and knowledge of scholars, that can fill your day with the spirit and a desire to learn more!

Informative, intelligent and inspiring podcast!
I teach a Gospel Doctrine class and listening to this podcast all last year in 2021 greatly improved my understanding of Church History and my love of the prophet Joseph. Going into this year, I have been so anxious to teach the Old Testament. However, just listening to these first few episodes this year has me excited for it instead! I appreciate (this is an understatement!) listening and learning from your guests, who are so much more educated in not just the scriptures but in areas that enhance our understanding of the gospel and the world we live in. I just listened to the creation episodes with Dr. Joshua Sears. My favorites so far! And there have been quite a few favorites already! Wow wow wow! Thank you for sharing your testimony and knowledge with us!

I really LOVE the "Follow Him" podcast. Each week, I feel like I’m taking a college level, or sometimes graduate level course in religious studies. We get some of the best and most knowledgeable professors to teach us, and, it's all FREE!!! They share years of study with us and we just get to enjoy it, and learn from it, and grow! It's incredible! Thanks so much to Hank and John and to all their guests for this amazing gift!

I have had the hardest time studying the scriptures my whole life (22 years) I have a learning disability and if I read anything I just can’t get anything out of it, but listening to Hank, John and everyone else that come on the podcast has helped me feel like I’m actually learning, being able to teach others what I know, but most importantly feeling the spirit in ways I haven’t before. Thank you both sooo much -Max

Your knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ, feel the spirit, be uplifted, and excited about studying Come Follow Me, this podcast is for you! I listen by myself, with my husband and even with my young kids, ages 9-1. It has led to so many great family discussions! It also has enriched my knowledge as I teach Sunday school! Cant say enough good things about this podcast!

Spiritual Feast!
I have listened to every episode during the D&C year. I learned a ton but more importantly, I grew closer to my Savior as I came to understand how he teaches and trains and supports us through or mortal experiences. I am immensely excited to learn from wise scholars for the Old Testament year too. Thank you Follow Him crew, for bringing more truth and light !!

Love this Podcast!!
I can’t say enough about how “Follow Him” has enlarged my understanding of and love for the scriptures. Last year’s discussions on the D&C were amazing; I looked forward to starting the OT in 2022 with bated breath: Brothers Bytheway and Smith, along with guest Dr. Kerry Muhlestein did not disappoint in their commentary on Moses and Abraham. So looking forward to another year of learning from these gentlemen and their well-curated guests. This podcast is truly the highlight of my CFM study every single week.

A Game Changer for me
This past year I had the opportunity to serve in the nursery. Something I struggled with was that I did not get to attend any Sunday school and therefore felt like I sort of missed out on getting other peoples perspectives on what we were studying in Come Follow Me. I am so grateful for this podcast. I found it towards the end of the year but it really helped me feel like I was getting so much more out of my own personal study. I am so excited to listen to it as I study the Old Testament.

Best media broadcasted on ApplePodcasts
I listen to this while brushing my teeth at night. This brings so much clarity to what we have been studying in seminary and in what we have been studying in Come, Follow Me and has developed into more than a habit, like brushing my teeth. It’s just a necessity. I love how much extra information is able to be shared and how much more I am able to understand the Doctrine and Covenants through actual certified experts and personal, spiritual experiences. I also appreciate the legitimate personalities of John and Hank and everybody they bring on, and I hope when the podcast comes back next year with the Old Testament, those same levels of sociality return as well. You guys are awesome. Keep up the good work and know that those who are listening love you and are delighted with all the outstanding work put into this podcast to make it what it is (#productioncrew).

I love this podcast! As a mother of 3 young kids it can feel difficult to get quality study time into my day. This podcast gives me a way to get deeper into the scriptures while multitasking with my kids. At the end of each episode I always feel inspired and reinvigorated to keep trying. It is such a hopeful and encouraging show. Plus, I learn SO much each time I listen. I laugh, I cry, and I learn almost every single time. Thank you for your hard work on this!

My favorite Podcast by far
I discovered this podcast through a friend that shared an episode with me this summer. I have been listening to every episode since. I plan to go back to the beginning of the year and listen to what I missed. I have gotten more out of my doctrine and covenants/ church history study listening to this podcast then I ever have in my life (I’m 43). I want to extend a very sincere thank you for all the hard work you guys do to produce this show. It’s informative, entertaining and most importantly invites the spirit. You are making a difference in people’s lives and families. I hope you will continue your efforts. Thank you.

Changed my life and understanding of the gospel
I can’t say enough incredible things about the content of this podcast. The scholars invited here to share with us their studies, their knowledge—it’s about time we have a platform singing loud and proud praises of our beloved prophets to drown out the noise of the arguments that seek to refute the men of God that our prophets were and what we stand for as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I have never been so enlightened on polygamy, racial issues, the overall history of the church. Man! Good stuff! I’ve never felt so excited about the gospel, thanks for bringing it to life.

Great, but too long for kids
Excellent guests. Great content. My only disappointment was that I thought it might help our family study, but it won’t (except for the insights I gain and can bring to family discussions) because it goes into far too much depth and length to listen to together. Update: John and Hank are amazing. Soon after I wrote the original review, they added Follow Him Favorites (not claiming a causal link :)), which is perfect for the whole family! Ahmad Corbitt on the Articles of Faith and official declarations was phenomenal. Jenet Erickson on the family proclamation was amazing and inspiring. This podcast is incredibly uplifting and thought-provoking.

Changing the way I follow Christ
The weekly Follow Him podcasts have changed the way I study the weekly Come, Follow Me lessons. Hank Smith and John Bytheway have amazingly insightful ways of presenting the covered topics in a way that not only makes them simple, but also sends them directly to my heart through the Holy Ghost. Each week they select and invite the perfect guest host to help them address the topic, and we literally get world class experts who willingly share their historical, literary, and spiritual insights. Listening and watching the weekly Follow Him podcasts and accompanying YouTube presentations has quite literally changed the way I study and prepare. And they are helping me to become a better follower of Jesus Christ.

My testimony of the Doctrine and Covenants wasn’t as solid as I liked starting out, but I can grateful say that it has been strengthened. Also importantly my love and respect for Joseph Smith has grown. Again thank you and I can’t wait for the Old Testament episodes!

Our favorite podcast
We had the rare opportunity to have an apostle come and speak to the youth in our home town. My oldest son said, “Is John going to be there?” I told him, no. His response was, “Oh man. I was really hoping John would be there. He’s so funny.” My son heard me listening to the podcast this summer, he loved it. He hasn’t missed an episode since then and listens every night. Thank you for adding to our Come follow me study. I look forward to listening every week. 😃

I use this podcast as a reward after I exercise and before I start my day. I love my time in the mornings to listen and to learn.

Gold. This Podcast is straight Gold.
I’ve never left a review on a Podcast before. But, I had to leave one for this Podcast with John Bytheway and Hank Smith. I have learned more about my Savior Jesus Christ and his Gospel through this podcast than anywhere else. I was talking to my wife just the other night and I told her I think the “Follow Him” podcast is one of the BEST things that has ever happened to me. I receive revelation on a daily basis and more importantly, I feel my God’s love every time I hear them or the guests speak. This really has been an amazing experience for me.

Thank you!
This podcast has been an invaluable resource for my Come, Follow Me study this year. It’s been a joy to listen each week! Thank you! I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the Old Testament next year. ;)

I never write reviews but I’m completely obsessed with this podcast. It’s enlightened my entire views on church history and doctrine and covenants. The priesthood podcast with Barbara Gardner was life changing for me. Thank you so much!!! I’ve never missed an episode.

Amazing!
This podcast has changed my studies and my in depth learning of the doctrine and covenants. To learn about the each individual and see them for all they did for the restoration is amazing. I will forever be grateful for the amazing minds that have increased my studies this year.

Extremely Helpful!!
The insights of Hank, his <insert glowing adjective here> cohost, John and their amazing guests have been extremely helpful in my study of the D&C. Church history is not my thing -oh let’s be honest, history of any kind is not my thing! - but this podcast helps me understand more about not only church history, but more importantly, some of the meaning of the scriptures contained therein. With no one at home to discuss and learn with, I find this podcast most helpful in increasing my understanding of the scriptures and the content of the Come Follow Me home study program. Thank you for this podcast. As someone born in the mid 1900’s (haha! I am almost ancient!) who thought I would ever be able to access insights from amazing spiritual teachers and experts?? I hope you will continue next year and teach me more about the Old Testament which has also been a challenge for me! Regardless, thanks for all your hard work to put this together and make it happen.

Tender mercy in podcast form
I cannot speak highly enough of this podcast. It has done wonders for my study and interest in the Doctrine and Covenants. Context opens doors for interpretation like I never thought possible and John and Hank supply that to listeners, as well as their invited guests and historians. As a busy young mom, this has helped me increase and expound my study on the go. I sincerely hope this podcast extends for all books of scripture.

I am so grateful for this podcast! I was just what I needed to rekindle my testimony in Joseph Smith! I was struggling with the Doctrine and covenants and someone recommended that I listen and I haven’t missed an episode since! Thank you to all that put time into this.

Great inspiring post cast
John Bytheway and Hank Smith do a great job of making each podcast a learning opportunity. The guests they invite also bring great insights and these topics make me want to study and learn more from the lessons from “Come, Follow Me”. I am so glad they do the work to put this together each week.

Transforms your Testimony
This podcast is phenomenal. I have spiritually grown so much since listening to it. Not because of the things they talk about (which are incredible and so fascinating by the way), but because of the way it has taught me to think. I truly feel like I’m using my agency more actively in following the Savior. It really is such a wonderful podcast. Highly recommend!!

My go to podcast!
I love this podcast! Hank and John feel like good friends from my younger years, but I especially love learning from the guests they have on. Their knowledge, their historical eyes, and their ability to dive deep into the scriptures and bring it all together is amazing. I’ve loved “relearning” church history this year and coming to love the people of our past in new ways. Thanks for helping me “study,” but mostly thanks for helping me enjoy that study more.

Incredible
I love this podcast so much. It has brought so much light into my life and strengthened my testimony of the church in ways I cannot explain. I feel the foundation of my testimony being strengthened each week as I listen. I especially appreciate the insights and greater understanding I have been given regarding early church history that I didn’t have before.

Hank and John were made for this
This podcast is what Hank and John they were meant to do, they offer the perfect balance of humor, teaching and application to the weekly “come follow me” lessons. This podcast has become a must to my weekly come follow me study and has increased my personal understanding of the scriptures and strengthened my testimony of Jesus Christ.

“It is good”
This podcast is wonderful and has literally changed my Come Follow Me studies to something that I crave and look forward to. I’ve been listening to the podcasts on YouTube for at least 8 months and oft times more than once. John and Hank are excellent in their discussions, sensitivity to the subject matter, understanding of early members of the Church and their faith, discussing topics that are relevant and getting prime expert speakers to participate. My head is filled but my heart is overflown ( is that the right context for this word) when I listen to each of their podcasts. My wife and I so often share stories and ideas that we gathered from their podcasts. A huge Thank You to John and Hank, and their guests, for this inspired work that personally lifts me and I’m sure many, many others. “It is good” that they are there and we are here to listen to it. - Doug Danz, Aztec NM

An amazing supplemental resource
I have not missed one episode of Follow Him, I love them all so much. I love Hank’s and John’s down to earth, fun and relatable personalities while also learning more than I could’ve on my own. As I work through the Doctrine and Covenants and the Come Follow Me Manual, I finish my reading by listening to the podcast and it really rounds out my understanding and appreciation of the scriptures. I am grateful to the expertise of the guests and the inspirational messages of the hosts. Thank you so much for the time you all take to create this podcast to all help us become better disciples of Christ and Follow Him.

Follow Him is my favorite
I have had some life-changing insights come from listening to this podcast! I love the personalities of Hank Smith and John Bytheway, and I appreciate the knowledge they and their guests have of gospel topics. I’ve always loved the Doctrine and Covenants, but this podcast has helped this book of scripture come alive for me. I am a different person for having listened. (That may seem overly dramatic, but it’s the truth!)

I love that they have a different scholarly expert on each week. That alone makes this worth a listen. You get different perspectives, stories, etc each time. Plus it’s not just someone who’s been googling info, they know the history on an extremely deep level. I’ve learned SO much. I can’t thank Hank and John enough for starting it.

Invaluable Aid
My oldest son and his wife first referred to my wife and I to the Follow Him podcast right at the beginning. Since then we have not missed a single episode deeming this ongoing experience essential to our weekly commitment to studying the Come Follow Him curriculum of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In turn, we have recommended Follow Him to all our children and grandchildren as well as friends and acquaintances. It is such a invaluable aid to be able to be regularly exposed to the wisdom and knowledge of those who literally have dedicated their life’s work to researching and detailing the lives of those who have gone before us. Our love and appreciation for the early saints, an abundantly loving Father in Heaven and Savior, Jesus Christ, has never been greater. And even better…. there’s more to come! We thank you all for making this astounding resource available.

The length is just what I need!
I’m seeing a lot of reviews that say this podcast is too lengthy. I cannot disagree more! If I can fill my day with learning and being uplifted, my week is better. Two hours of church each week just isn’t enough to edify and keep the spirit. So when I can supplement my at-home study with scriptural scholars and actual teachers it gives me the zeal to keep pressing forward! I love this podcast and so appreciate the time and energy you great men and your team put into this! You guys are making the Come Follow Me lessons come alive and I just love it!!

I felt my heart burst with love for this beautiful, authentic, honest woman as she expressed her heartfelt love of Emma and other sisters. This is one of your very best podcasts! It was apparent that her openness and spiritual awareness even affected both of you! Her steadfast strength and loyalty to Jesus Christ through heartbreaking illness, and her righteous accomplishments will bless thousands of lives well into the future of those who read her material and watch her speak. WOW! I feel like I just had a spiritual feast! Thank you, thank you.🙏🏻😘😇 Kelly Peterson

Episode 26- Dr Line
I love the messages of hope and redemption that your guests convey on your podcast. However there was a comment by Dr Shine that has bothered me. He said something to the effect of “we have to be very careful not to be too generous about the doctrine of grace”. My first thought was “no, we are not generous enough about the doctrine of Grace “. I grew up in the 70’s and I never heard about Grace then - only justice. There were other comments he made that bothered me as well. It sounded like he hadn’t listened to your podcasts and repeated things we had already heard. I think you both conveyed your thoughts that were different than his while still being respectful and I appreciated that. We’re all trying to do our best- I just don’t want anymore pressure that I have to do it on my own without the grace of the Savior ❤️

Podcast #43
When I saw there were three parts to episode 43, I was a bit discouraged. After part one I was excited to listen to the other two parts. It was so good! I told my family that if I hadn’t listened to all of those episodes I think I would have missed out on the strong spirit in those three sections of the Doctrine and Covenants. Thank you!

Love the show
Perhaps only one suggestion: A little more guest speaker, and a little less Smith. Sorry, it just seems like you sometimes cut the guest speakers off just at little too early to make your comments. I would suggest you be a better listener. Please forgive me for the candid criticism. I do not wish to offend. I see a future bishop in brother Smith.

Love everything BUT…
Guys! Come on! 3 parts, all 1 hour long for 1 week of study?!? I’m loving this but don’t have time. Instead of a 5 min cliffs notes recap can you either stick to 1 hour or make a 1 hour recap? Also, I’m thankful for all the worldly praise and accolades your guests have but I’d love to hear from a 90 year old who’s been a member for most of their lives and have a deep love of the scriptures, not all knowledge can be measured in degrees. Love everything else!

A Breath of Fresh Air
I must admit I don’t love those roundtable discussions where people try to show off all their scriptural knowledge. And fluffy feel-good Come Follow Me isn’t my jam either. That’s why I love this podcast- Hank and John are knowledgeable but so humble as they learn with us at the feet of great scholars. I love the numerous perspectives, doses of humor, and healthy balance between devotion and scholarship. Thanks, Hank and John!
