In this Y Religion episode, Professor Jared Halverson discusses his article \u201cBroken Shelves or Continuing Revelation? Extending the Shelf Life of Faith\u201d and reframes the idea of a faith shelf into three shelves\u2014revelation past, present, and future. He explains how remembering God\u2019s past mercies, engaging in current spiritual learning, and patiently awaiting future revelation can strengthen faith and prevent spiritual stagnation.
