Waking Up Zion — The Book

Waking Up Zion --- The Book

-
🎧 Listen to the book here: 👉   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeDAd1BRD_w 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 int...

🪶 Consecration Without Control --- Medicine Wheel #7

-
  🪶 Medicine Wheel 7 — Consecration Without Control This word has been used. Overused. Weaponized. 🪶 A Simple Reminder The Medicine Wheel has been moving step by step. You remembered who you are. You learned without fear. You softened into wisdom. You came into alignment. You learned what is yours to carry. Now comes what naturally follows. But originally? Consecration was beautiful. 🌿 What Consecration Is   Not Consecration is not: Signing everything over to an institution Surrendering your agency Obeying leaders without understanding Proving loyalty That’s control. And control wears religious clothing very well. True consecration is different. 🌄 What Consecration Actually Means To consecrate means: To set apart. To dedicate. But here’s the key: You cannot dedicate what you do not own. And you do not own your worth. You do not own your spirit. You do not own the breath in your lungs. Those were given. Consecration, then, is not giving something to earn love. It is offerin...

🪶 THE MEDICINE WHEEL — SIMPLE GUIDE

-
 ðŸª¶ THE MEDICINE WHEEL — SIMPLE GUIDE A quiet, grounded walk back to listening. --- 🪶 INTRODUCTION This is not a new religion. It is not a replacement for anything sacred. It is a simple pattern — one that helps a person learn how to: • Listen • Trust • Align • Walk with Christ consciously Everything in this guide builds one thing: 👉 Capacity Not performance. Not pressure. Not perfection. Just capacity. --- 🌿 1. THE CENTER — YOU BEGIN ALREADY HELD You are already known. You are already loved. The journey does not start with proving. It starts with remembering. 👉 Not: “Am I worthy?” 👉 But: “Can I receive what already is?” --- 🕊️ 2. AGENCY — YOU CHOOSE CONSCIOUSLY You begin to move from borrowed belief to lived understanding. You ask: • Do I understand this? • Have I felt this confirmed? Agency becomes participation, not pressure. --- 🌄 3. KNOWLEDGE — YOU LEARN WITHOUT FEAR You study. You explore. You allow questions. Truth is not afraid of examination. 👉 Knowledge gathers. B...

🌿 Video 65 — What It Means to Be a Talking Feather

-
 ðŸŒ¿ 65 — What It Means to Be a Talking Feather 🪶 Why I’m Not Here to Lead You — Just to Walk Gently Beside You Over the years, people have asked me what I mean when I use the phrase “Talking Feather.” In many Native American councils, a feather or talking stick was passed from person to person. Whoever held it spoke. Everyone else listened. No interruptions. No domination. Speech was meant to be thoughtful and careful. I don’t use the phrase as a title. I use it as a reminder. A Talking Feather is not authority. It is posture. 🌾 A Feather Doesn’t Force A feather doesn’t push. It doesn’t argue. It doesn’t dominate. It doesn’t shout. It moves lightly. It carries something — but it carries it gently. That’s what I mean. If I have learned anything on this journey, it is this: Truth never needs to be forced. When it is forced, it stops being truth and becomes control. 🕊️ The Difference Between Teaching and Pressuring There is a kind of religious voice that presses. It insists. It sha...

🪶 Stewardship: What Is Actually Mine? --- Medicine Wheel 6

-
  🪶  Stewardship: What Is Actually Mine? We’ve talked about: • Worthiness • Knowledge • Wisdom • Balance 🪶 A Simple Reminder The Medicine Wheel moves step by step. You remember who you are. You learn without fear. You soften into wisdom. You come into alignment. Now comes what naturally follows. Now comes something grounding. Stewardship. And this is where most people either overreach or collapse. 🌿 What Stewardship Is Not Stewardship is not: Saving the whole Church Fixing the whole world Correcting every doctrinal error Convincing your family Winning arguments When you first wake up from indoctrination, you feel urgency. You see patterns. You connect dots. You want to warn everyone. That’s normal. But that’s not stewardship. That’s reaction. 🌄 What Stewardship Actually Is Stewardship is simply: What has been placed in my hands right now? Not what overwhelms me… but what has actually been entrusted to me. Not someday. Not hypothetically. Right now. Your body. Your marriage...

🌿 Video 64 — Staying Soft When You See Differently

-
  🌿 64 — Staying Soft When You See Differently 🪶 How to love well when awakening doesn’t happen at the same time One of the quietest tests of awakening is this: What happens when you see differently than the people you love? It’s one thing to wake up. It’s another thing entirely to stay soft when others aren’t waking at the same pace. Awakening can bring clarity. But clarity can also bring tension. Especially in marriage. Especially in family. Especially in long-held communities. And if we’re not careful, what began as surrender can quietly become separation. 🌾 Seeing Differently Does Not Mean Loving Less When something shifts in your heart, it can feel disorienting. You may: question things you once accepted feel drawn toward quieter paths be less certain about systems feel closer to Christ but further from structure And the people around you may not understand. They may feel concerned. They may feel confused. They may even feel threatened. That does not make them wrong. It mea...

🪶 Balance Is Not Judgment --- Medicine Wheel #5

-
  🪶   Balance Is Not Judgment We’ve talked about the center. We’ve talked about knowledge. We’ve talked about wisdom. 🪶 A Simple Reminder The Medicine Wheel moves in steps. Center — you remember who you are. Knowledge — you learn without fear. Wisdom — you begin to change. Now comes what naturally follows. Now we come to something that scares people. Balance. Not condemnation. Not cosmic scoring. Just balance. And if you grew up LDS, this is where alarms go off. Because somewhere in your memory is that line from Abraham: “We will prove them herewith, to see if they will do all things whatsoever the Lord their God shall command them.” — Abraham 3:25 Most of us heard that as: “This life is a test.” Pass. Fail. Celestial. Terrestrial. Telestial. But let’s slow down. What if “prove” doesn’t mean “trap”? What if it means refine? What if it means reveal? 🌿 Balance Is Built Into Reality You don’t have to believe in a religion to see this. If you lie repeatedly, trust erodes. ...

🌿 Video 63 — When Awakening Quietly Turns Into Pride

-
  🌿 63 — When Awakening Quietly Turns Into Pride 🪶 A gentle warning for those who are seeing more clearly Awakening is beautiful. When something shifts inside you — when scripture opens, when history becomes clearer, when questions you once ignored suddenly matter — it can feel like a new beginning. And often, it is. But there’s a quiet danger that follows awakening. Not immediately. Not loudly. Subtly. Awakening can slowly turn into pride. Not the obvious kind. The quiet kind. The kind that whispers: “I see what others don’t.” “I understand what they’re missing.” “I’ve moved beyond that.” It doesn’t feel arrogant. It feels justified. And that’s why it’s dangerous. 🌾 When Seeing More Makes Us Sharper Instead of Softer Awakening was never meant to harden us. It was meant to humble us. If seeing more clearly makes us: more impatient more cutting more certain more intense less willing to listen then something has shifted. Truth should soften the heart. If it sharpens it, we’ve star...
