  👣 True Leadership What Chapter 11 Teaches About Serving Instead of Ruling   Every generation asks the same question. Who should lead us? Should it be the smartest? The strongest? The wealthiest? The most educated? The most charismatic? Chapter 11 of The Book of Tsihohnayah Ahkehkthihm gives an answer that surprised me. It says the greatest leader is simply... the greatest servant. 🏛️ Building a New Beginning After leaving Maynihntah, the Nemenhah established a new city called Aylahkohwaht near Nehspehlhem . Peace finally returned. The people could have focused on rebuilding wealth. Instead, they focused on rebuilding their society according to the pattern of the Peacemaker . That says a lot. When Christ builds a people, He starts with hearts before buildings. 👩 The Mothers' Council One detail that stands out is how leaders were chosen. The names of faithful servants were presented before the Mothers' Council . These women didn't campaign. They didn't lobby. They ...

  Saturday Morning Common Sense Zion Came Sneaking In We were waiting for a program. It came through the side door carrying a casserole. A Little Common Sense for Latter-day Saints Listen to the NEW Song:    Zion Came Sneaking In   We had been looking for Zion in all the respectable places. We looked for it in the handbook. We checked the calendar. We formed a committee and reserved the cultural hall. We were fairly certain Zion would arrive with an announcement, a new program, and perhaps a sign-up sheet in the foyer. But while we were discussing it, Zion came sneaking in through the side door. It looked remarkably like Sister Jensen carrying a casserole to a widow who had not felt like cooking. It looked like a teenager quietly dragging a neighbor’s garbage cans back from the street. It looked like a brother making the telephone call he had postponed for six months and finally saying: “I was wrong. Will you forgive me?” It looked like someone sitting beside Brother...

  🌿 Journey Through the Nemenhah Sacred Records Lesson 11 When the Land Began to Suffer What Creation Reveals About the Human Heart Listen to the NEW Narration:    Care For What He Gives 📖 Let's Read the Record Together This week, continue reading The Book of Hahgmehni . As you read, notice something that is easy to miss. Hahgmehni is not only describing what happened to the people. He's also describing what happened to the forests... the rivers... and the land itself. Ask yourself: Why does Hahgmehni spend so much time talking about the land? 🌿 What Happened? As I read this part of Hahgmehni, something surprised me. The Record doesn't simply say the Nayfihah became prideful. It describes what happened afterward. The forests were cut down. The mountains were stripped. The rivers changed. The beauty of the land slowly disappeared. At first I wondered, "Why is Hahgmehni talking so much about trees?" Then it hit me. He isn't writing a...

  🙏 More Than "Hello" What Joseph Smith's School of the Prophets and the Nemenhah Greeting Teach Us About Zion   Sometimes the greatest truths are hidden in the simplest things. A handshake. A smile. A bow of the head. A hand over the heart. A quiet prayer for someone you just met. As I studied Chapter 10 of The Book of Tsihohnayah Ahkehkthihm , I couldn't help but think about something the Lord restored through Joseph Smith nearly two hundred years ago. 📖 The School of the Prophets In January 1833, the Lord gave Joseph Smith instructions for organizing what became known as the School of the Prophets . One of those instructions wasn't about doctrine. It wasn't about priesthood. It wasn't about church government. It was about how disciples should greet one another. The Lord said: "Art thou a brother or brethren? I salute you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, in token or remembrance of the everlasting covenant... I receive you to fellowship... to ...

  Life Is Not a Test to Pass — It Is a Life of Becoming Listen to the NEW Narration:   This Is Not a Test What the Potter, the Clay, and the Nemenhah Records Teach Us About the Gospel of Jesus Christ Something Happened in Sunday School Yesterday, during Sunday School, I made a comment that I've been thinking about for quite some time. I said something like this: “I don't believe this life is simply a test to pass. I believe it is a life of becoming.” The teacher responded, “Yes, I love that!” Then he mentioned that he had heard a similar thought from a Church authority, who had used the example of the potter and the clay. That caught my attention. Because the more I thought about it, the more I realized how beautifully that example fits something I've been learning from the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and the Nemenhah Records. Maybe we've been looking at the purpose of this life a little too narrowly. Are We Here to Pass a Test? Most of my life, I was taught that we came...

  🗺️ The Lay of the Land... and the Bigger Picture   Have you ever noticed that some of the most interesting chapters in scripture aren't about miracles at all? They're about maps. At first glance, Chapter 9 of The Book of Tsihohnayah Ahkehkthihm almost feels like reading an old atlas. Rivers. Mountains. Coastlines. Plains. Lakes. Islands. It's easy to wonder, "Why is all this here?" The more I read it, the more I think the geography isn't the real message. The people are. 🏔️ A People Spread Across a Continent The chapter describes four great Nemenhah nations: 🏔️ The Mountains 🌾 The Plains 🌲 The Lakes 🏝️ The Islands Many readers see these places as fitting remarkably well with North America. The Pacific Coast, the Rocky Mountains, the Great Plains, the Great Lakes, and even the Mississippi River all seem to match the descriptions. Whether every location has been identified correctly is something we can continue to study. But that's not what impresse...

  🏔️   Two Temple Journeys A Personal Comparison Between the Modern LDS Temple and the Nemenhah Temple Writings ☕ Pull up a chair on the porch for a minute. This isn't written to criticize anyone. I still worship with my wife each Sunday in an LDS congregation. Some of the finest Christians I've ever known are faithful members of the Church. This isn't about judging people. It's simply about asking a question that has been on my mind for years: What is the primary purpose of the temple? After studying both the scriptures of the Restoration and the Nemenhah temple writings, I've come to believe they emphasize two different journeys. ⛪ The Modern LDS Temple Today, faithful Latter-day Saints generally understand the temple to be a place where we: Make sacred covenants. Receive ordinances through priesthood authority. Are sealed as families. Perform proxy ordinances for deceased ancestors. Return often to continue that sacred work. There is much devotion and sacrifice ...
