Waking Up Zion — The Book

Waking Up Zion --- The Book

-
INTRODUCTION Not a Faith Crisis — A Truth Awakening This isn’t a book about walking away. It’s a book about walking deeper. Deeper into Jesus. Deeper into His voice, His light, and His truth. For years, I loved my faith. I still do. The Church gave me structure. It gave me good people. It taught me to honor prophets and scriptures. To seek the Holy Ghost. To follow Christ. But somewhere along the way, I started asking quiet questions— Not to tear down, but to understand more. Where is the power of the Book of Mormon? Where is the fire of the early Saints? Where is the Jesus who speaks face to face? This book isn’t here to fight the Church. It’s here to reach the hearts of those in it — Especially those who feel something is missing, but don’t yet have words for it. I believe God is still working. But I also believe He is calling many of His children out of comfort and into courage. Out of tradition and into truth. Out of a system and into a personal walk with His Son. If you love the C...

🌿 What Does It Mean to Be a Peacemaker? (Thoughts from a Sunday pew)

-
  🌿 What Does It Mean to Be a Peacemaker? (Thoughts from a Sunday pew) I still go to church. That matters to say out loud. I go because I love my wife. I go because there is real goodness there. Good families. Good intentions. Good people trying to do their best in a confusing world. And this past Sunday, I sat in priesthood meeting and listened to a lesson about being   peacemakers . It was a good lesson. The apostle being quoted is a good man. I went home and read his words carefully. Taken on their own, they’re thoughtful, Christ-centered, and sincere. I don’t doubt his heart at all. But there was a phrase that kept echoing in my mind as the discussion unfolded: “We need to be powerful peacemakers.” And I felt something quietly pause inside me. Not anger. Not rebellion. Just… a question. 🌱 When words drift Here’s the thing:   peacemaker   is one of the most beautiful names Christ ever gave His followers. “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the...

🌸 Another Message to My Wife — The Peace You Carry

-
  🌸   Another Message to My Wife — The Peace You Carry To the woman who brought quiet strength into my life My beloved, There is something I want to tell you — something I have come to realize as I’ve studied the Nemenhah Records, the scriptures, and the history of your people. It’s this: You carry the same spirit that preserved peace in your homeland. You grew up in a culture shaped by mothers like Sena — women who brought stability, wisdom, gentleness, and inner strength in times when men were fighting for power. These women didn’t just raise children. They raised nations. And when I look at you… I see that same spirit. 🌸   1. Your People Understand Peace Japan found a way to live in harmony for more than 250 years. Not because its warriors were strong… but because its mothers were stronger. Because they taught: • respect • humility • patience • kindness • community • loyalty • honor You carry these things in your heart— every day of our marriage. I see it in the way ...

🪶 Why This Prayer Matters (A Sacred Pattern for the Little Flock)

-
  🪶   Why This Prayer Matters (A Sacred Pattern for the Little Flock) Hello friends. Something happened this week that I haven’t been able to shake. A moment so gentle… so sacred… so full of the Spirit… that it made me realize again how close Heaven really is. We were preparing to read Chapter Five of   The Book of Mohrhohnahyah when   CloudPiler   — one of the   translators of the Nemenhah Records   — paused and offered a prayer. Not a casual one. Not a “let’s begin” prayer. It was a   covenant prayer … a   wheel prayer … a   Peacemaker prayer … the kind that appears throughout the ancient records and marks the beginning of holy things. I want to tell you why this matters. 🌤️   1. Because This Is the Pattern of the Ancients The prayer followed the exact order our ancestors used: • Skyfather • Heavenly Mother • A’yatsue (Agency) • Knowledge • Sacrifice • Action • Consecration • All My Relations Every point of the Medicine Wheel… e...

I don’t have everything figured out — but I care, and I’ll try to respond as soon as I can. You don’t have to carry this alone. There are times in the walk with Jesus when you simply don’t know what to do next. No clear direction. No open door. No strong feeling either way. Just… waiting. And for people who care deeply about doing what’s right, that kind of stillness can feel uncomfortable. We want to move. We want...

🕊️ When “Continuing Revelation” Stops Sounding Like Revelation

-
🕊️ When “Continuing Revelation” Stops Sounding Like Revelation I want to speak carefully here, because this comes from love — even though it hurts. I recently watched an AI-generated video explaining how my LDS Church has changed teachings over time and framed those changes as   continuing revelation . On the surface, it sounded thoughtful. Reasonable. Almost comforting. But the more I listened, the more I realized what it really was. Not scripture. Not repentance. Institutional rationalization. And that matters — especially now. 🧠 A Word About AI (Because This Matters) AI is a powerful tool. I use it. I appreciate it. But AI only reflects what it’s fed. If it’s trained on official explanations, correlated narratives, and carefully worded PR language, it will repeat those stories smoothly and confidently — even when they contradict scripture. That doesn’t make AI evil. It just means   discernment matters more than ever . 📜 Joseph Smith — and the Line Scripture Draws Here’s ...
