We know Lehi, Nephi, Alma, Samuel the Lamanite, Mormon, Moroni, and Hagoth. But what happened beyond the familiar record? The Nemenhah Sacred Records preserve another history—one that follows families who traveled northward, built communities, worshiped in sacred temples, remembered the visits of Jesus Christ, and attempted to live the way of the Peacemaker. This opening presentation introduces the people, the records, and the journey ahead. 🎧 Listen to the narr...

Lesson 24 The Great Missionary Age πŸ“– The First Book of Pah Nahtahn

  🌿 Journey Through the Nemenhah Sacred Records πŸ“– The First Book of Pah Nahtahn Lesson 24 The Great Missionary Age Many Messengers... One Peacemaker 🎧 Listen to the NEW Narration:     Many Messengers One Message 🌿 Before We Begin... As we continue through the Sacred Records, something beautiful begins to appear. At first, each book seems to tell its own story. But little by little... those stories begin to connect. Different prophets. Different journeys. Different lands. Yet they all point toward the same Peacemaker. The more I read these sacred records, the more I realize the Lord was working in many places at the same time. His purpose was larger than any one community. His love reached farther than any one people. πŸ“– Let's Read the Record Together As we continue reading The First Book of Pah Nahtahn , don't think of this as only one missionary journey. Think of it as part of something much larger. The Lord was preparing hearts. He was s...

Saturday Morning Common Sense --- Am I Wheat—or Just a Well-Organized Tare?

  Saturday Morning Common Sense Am I Wheat—or Just a Well-Organized Tare? The boxes are checked. Now what is growing in my heart? A Little Common Sense for Latter-day Saints   Listen to the NEW Song:    Are You a Wheat or A Tare I have been thinking about the wheat and the tares. Naturally, I began with a checklist. Church attendance? Check. Temple recommend? Check. Calling fulfilled? Check. Scriptures read? Check. Emergency wheat in the basement? Check. Actual wheat? Well…that one may require a little more thought. Jesus said that wheat and tares would grow together until the harvest. The servants wanted to go through the field and pull out the tares, but the Lord told them to wait, lest they root up the wheat also. (Matthew 13:24–30) That is probably wise. I have noticed that I can identify the tares on the other side of the chapel with remarkable speed. The Lord, however, keeps redirecting my attention to the little patch of ground inside my own chest. The uncomfo...

πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅ My Trip to Japan — Part 1 of 3

  πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅ My Trip to Japan — Part 1 of 3 What It Taught Me About Not Pushing Light (Written in May about a February trip — because some lessons need time to settle.) I went to Japan in February. I’m only writing about it now in May. That feels right. Some lessons are loud when you first experience them. Others whisper… and take a few months to understand. This one whispered. There was a time I thought I needed to wake people up. Not angrily. Not arrogantly. Just… urgently. You discover something that blesses your soul and you feel almost selfish keeping it to yourself. So you wait. You stay quiet. You drop hints. And then someone finally asks. And when they ask… You want to unload the whole warehouse. I used to think that was courage. Now I think it was anxiety dressed up as love. 🌿 I Am Not the Savior Somewhere between Tokyo train stations and long quiet walks, a thought settled into me: I am not the Savior. That means: I don’t awaken hearts. I don’t manage revelation. I don’t carry...

Lesson 23 The Missionaries Who Never Came Home Lesson 23 The Missionaries Who Never Came Home

  🌿 Journey Through the Nemenhah Sacred Records  Lesson 23 The Missionaries Who Never Came Home Faith That Walked into the Unknown 🎧 Listen to the NEW Narration:     Faith That Walked - The Missionaries 🌿 Before We Begin... Welcome to a new chapter in our journey through the Nemenhah Sacred Records. If you've recently joined us, you may have noticed that we are not studying one continuous book from beginning to end. The Nemenhah Sacred Records are a collection of sacred writings preserved by different prophets across many generations. Each writer records a different chapter in the Lord's work among His covenant people. Our purpose in this series is not to comment on every verse. Instead, we're traveling through the great landmarks of these sacred records—the stories, teachings, and testimonies that help us better know the Peacemaker. So far... We traveled with Hahgohtl , who led his people on an extraordinary journey into a new land. We learned...

🌾 The Question of the Plow

Image
                            “The Four Pillars — the framework for building a Zion people.” 🌾 The Question of the Plow One of the most powerful teachings in The Book of Maymihts Ahkehkt, Chapter 10, centers around something surprisingly simple: a plow. The text asks: What is the value of the plow? And suddenly the entire modern world gets exposed. Because Babylon immediately answers: wood cost, iron cost, labor cost, market price, resale value. That is how modern civilization measures worth. Everything becomes: numbers, profit, valuation, ownership, and control. But the Peacemaker asks a deeper question: What if that plow: feeds children, prevents starvation, blesses generations, and sustains life? Then what is its true worth? You cannot calculate it. And THAT is the point.                                          ...

Lesson 22 The Light That Changed the World When the Peacemaker Entered Mortality πŸ“– Book of Sahnhehmpeht

  🌿 Journey Through the Nemenhah Sacred Records πŸ“– Book of Sahnhehmpeht Lesson 22 The Light That Changed the World When the Peacemaker Entered Mortality Listen to the NEW Narration:      The Light That Changed the World πŸ“– Let's Read the Record Together The promised sign has appeared. The heavens have spoken. Now the Record invites us to look beyond the miracle in the sky... to the Child who made the miracle necessary. As you read, ask yourself one question: "Why did the Creator choose to come among His own children?" Every page of scripture ultimately points to this moment. 🌿 What Happened? The Peacemaker entered the world exactly as the prophets had foretold. He did not come with armies. He did not come to establish an earthly throne. He came as a child. Quietly. Humbly. Yet heaven itself testified that everything had changed. The Light of the World had entered mortality. The long wait was over. The promises of generations were fulfilled....

πŸ•Š️ You Don’t Prove Yourself to Be Loved

  πŸ•Š️ You Don’t Prove Yourself to Be Loved The other day I wrote about proving ourselves in this life . And I still believe that. This life does shape us. It does reveal what’s in our hearts. It does invite us to choose… over and over again. But I want to slow that down for just a second. Because there’s something just as important—maybe even more important—that sits underneath all of it. ❤️ You’re Already His Before you prove anything… Before you fix anything… Before you figure it all out… πŸ‘‰ You are already His. Not because you earned it. Not because you got everything right. Not because your life looks clean on the outside. But because He loves you. Like a Father. Like… Abba . πŸ”₯ So Then… Why the Walk? So if we’re already loved… why does the path matter? Why repentance? Why growth? Why this whole “proving” thing? Because the walk isn’t about earning love. πŸ‘‰ It’s about becoming able to live in it . 🧭 The Shift Some of us were taught—without even realizing it: “If I do this r...
