  🌿 COME AND SEE   A Companion Study to the Book of Mormon for Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints                        Songs • Stories • Ancient History • Jesus Christ • Zion  Listen here to: THE BOOK of MORMON CONTINUES And   YouTube:    The Book of Mormon Continues    New Videos Every W-F- Sunday 🌄 PROLOGUE The Story Continues Many readers know the story of the Book of Mormon. 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...

🪶 Mormon Held the Center in Collapse

Image
  🪶 Mormon Held the Center in Collapse After pondering prayer circles… and Lehi’s path to the Tree… and King Benjamin turning tents toward the temple… and Captain Moroni raising a standard… my thoughts kept settling on Mormon. And a sentence came to me I couldn’t shake: Mormon held the Center in collapse. I have sat with that line. And it keeps growing. Mormon lived while everything was coming apart. Not just politically. Spiritually. Morally. Socially. Everything. His people were unraveling. And he knew it. He saw it. He wept over it. But somehow… he kept his soul turned toward Christ. That moves me. Think about his life. He wasn’t writing in revival. He was writing in ruin. Not in Zion— but after Zion had largely been forgotten. And still… what did he preserve? Faith. Covenant. Christ. Memory. Hope. Even scholars note Mormon and Moroni become witnesses   through   collapse, not outside it.   That matters. Because many of us think faith is easier in peace. Mormon s...

Lesson 16 A Delightsome People Walking the Covenant Every Day

Image
  🌿 Journey Through the Nemenhah Sacred Records Lesson 16 A Delightsome People Walking the Covenant Every Day Listen to the NEW Narration:     A Delightsome People 📖 Let's Read the Record Together This week continue reading The Book of Hahgmehni . As you read these next verses, notice how often the Record speaks about the people—not their possessions. It isn't their wealth that is remembered. It isn't their power. It isn't even their victories. Instead, Hahgmehni describes the kind of people they became. As you read, ask yourself one question: "What made these people delightsome before the Peacemaker?" I think the answer is just as important today as it was then. 🌿 What Happened? As Hahgmehni continues his record, he describes a people who desired to remain faithful to the covenant they had made with the Peacemaker. They remembered Him. They taught their children. They cared for one another. They sought peace instead of contention. Thei...

🪶 The Iron Rod May Be a Spoke

Image
  🪶 The Iron Rod May Be a Spoke A strange thought came to me after writing about sacred circles. It wouldn’t leave me alone. What if Lehi’s dream has been teaching this same pattern all along? And then a thought came so simple it almost made me laugh: What if the iron rod is a spoke… and Christ is the Hub? Now stay with me. I’m not trying to turn Lehi into a diagram. I’m just following a pattern. And sometimes patterns teach. We usually read Lehi’s dream as: Hold to the rod. Avoid the mist. Get to the tree. And that’s true. But what if there’s more? What if the whole dream is about learning how to return to Center? Because that’s what struck me. Everything in the dream moves toward one place. The Tree. And scholars have actually noted the tree is the symbolic center of the whole vision.   Center. That word started opening things for me. Lehi begins in darkness. A dark and dreary waste. How many of us begin there? Confused. Searching. Wounded. Praying for mercy. That sounds a ...

🪶 Did the Prayer Circle Teach Something We Forgot?

Image
  🪶 Did the Prayer Circle Teach Something We Forgot? A thought came to me the other day in a way I didn’t expect. It started with the temple prayer circle. I found myself wondering— Why a circle? Why has a circle shown up in sacred places? Why not rows? Why not lines? Why a circle? And then another thought came: What if the circle itself is trying to teach something? Not a ritual. A truth. The more I thought about it… the more I started seeing circles all over the place. The prayer circle. The medicine wheel. King Benjamin gathering the people round about the temple. Even—believe it or not— Camelot. King Arthur’s Round Table. Now I know that sounds like a long way from scripture. But maybe not. Because what did the Round Table symbolize? No head seat. No one above another. Equality. Fellowship. A people gathered in shared covenant.   That actually preaches. And I started wondering— what if these are all faint echoes of the same old pattern? God in the center. People gathered ...

Jeremiah's Warning: Are We Repeating the Mistakes of Ancient Jerusalem?

  Jeremiah's Warning: Are We Repeating the Mistakes of Ancient Jerusalem? The Temple, Babylon, Zion, and the Condition of Our Hearts The True Remnant Library What if the greatest danger facing us today is not the collapse of our economy, our government, or our religious institutions, but the condition of our own hearts? More than 2,600 years ago, a prophet named Jeremiah stood before the people of Jerusalem and delivered a warning they did not want to hear. They had a magnificent temple. They had priests, ordinances, sacrifices, religious traditions, and leaders who assured them they were God's chosen people. But Jeremiah saw something terribly wrong. Their religious practices continued, yet their hearts had wandered from God. The poor were neglected. Injustice was tolerated. Wealth and power had become more important than compassion and righteousness. And the people believed that because they possessed the temple of the Lord, their city could never fall. Does any of this sound...

Lesson 15 The Prayers the Peacemaker Hears Every Sincere Prayer Matters

Image
  🌿 Journey Through the Nemenhah Sacred Records Lesson 15 The Prayers the Peacemaker Hears Every Sincere Prayer Matters Listen to the NEW Narration:    The Prayers the Peacemaker Hears 📖 Let's Read the Record Together This week continue reading The Book of Hahgmehni . As you read the words of the Peacemaker, notice something remarkable. He doesn't speak only about great miracles or mighty prophets. He speaks about prayer. Not just public prayer. Not just prayers offered in sacred places. But the quiet prayers of everyday people. As you read, ask yourself one question: "Does the Lord really hear every sincere prayer?" I believe Hahgmehni wanted us to know the answer. 🌿 What Happened? After Hahgmehni sought the Lord, the Peacemaker spoke with tenderness and compassion. His words revealed something beautiful. He hears His children. He hears those who pray in faith. He hears families. He hears individuals. He hears those who cry to Him in times o...

🪶 The Way Was Never Meant to Be Forgotten

Image
  🪶   The Way Was Never Meant to Be Forgotten There’s something I’ve been sitting with lately… Not trying to prove it. Not trying to push it. Just… feeling it. And I want to share it gently. 🌿   The Way Is Real In the teachings of the Nemenhah, the   Way   isn’t just an idea. It’s not just “be a good person.” It’s not just “follow the checklist.” It’s described as something… real. A place where heaven and earth get a little closer. Where a person can still be here in the body… but begin to walk with God in their spirit. Where learning isn’t secondhand anymore. Where the Savior isn’t distant. Where He teaches. Personally. 🕊️   But It Doesn’t Open All at Once This isn’t something forced open. It opens slowly. As a person: learns listens receives softens Not perfectly… just honestly. And little by little… The distance between them and God starts to feel thinner. 🌫️   The Veil Isn’t Just “Out There” One of the quiet truths in this teaching is this: The...
