  🌿 Two Witnesses, One Path — Part 1 Mosiah 3:19 and the Natural Man When I began this new study, I decided to start with one of my favorite scriptures in all the Book of Mormon. Mosiah 3:19. If you've spent much time in the Book of Mormon, you probably know the verse. King Benjamin teaches: "For the natural man is an enemy to God..." I've always loved that scripture because it explains a battle every one of us understands. Not a battle against governments. Not a battle against institutions. Not even a battle against other people. A battle within ourselves. Part of us wants Christ. Part of us wants our own way. Part of us wants heaven. Part of us wants comfort. King Benjamin teaches that we must yield to the Holy Spirit, put off the natural man, and become humble, submissive, meek, patient, and childlike. As I sat on the porch thinking about that verse, a question came into my mind. Does the Nemenhah teach the same thing? Not the same words. The same principle. So I ...

  🌿 Two Witnesses, One Path A Discovery I Wasn't Looking For A few mornings ago I was sitting on the porch with my scriptures open. Nothing unusual. Just me some quiet time before the day got busy. The sun was just beginning to come up. The world was still. And I found myself reading one of my favorite scriptures in the Book of Mormon. Mosiah 3:19. I've probably read that verse hundreds of times over the years. Maybe you have too. King Benjamin says: "For the natural man is an enemy to God..." Every time I read it, it hits me a little differently. Because King Benjamin wasn't talking about somebody else. He was talking about me. My pride. My impatience. My stubbornness. My tendency to want things my way instead of God's way. As I sat there thinking about it, a simple question came into my mind. Not a profound question. Just a simple one. What if I looked for that same teaching in the Nemenhah Records? Not the exact words. Not identical phrases. Just the princ...

  Learning to Walk Upon the Way When the Prayer Ends, the Listening Begins There is a point in prayer when we have said enough. We have welcomed the Holy People. We have remembered the Earth and Sky, the ancestors, the spiritual beings, the wisdom keepers, and the people gathered around us. We have offered thanksgiving. We have asked for help. Then comes the part that may be hardest for many of us: We become quiet. That is something I learned in my own prayer. For a time, I felt almost one with the Earth and with the beings I had invited to be near. But I also became aware that I was doing too much talking. I was trying to fill every open place with words. Sometimes the plainest instruction is the best: shut your mouth and listen. That does not mean our words were wrong. It means the words have done their work. Prayer opens the door; listening allows us to notice what may come through it. This is an introduction to what the Records call walking upon the Way . It is written especial...

  From Knowing About Christ… to Knowing Him Listen to the NEW Narration and Song:         Knowing HIM There was a question that stayed with me for a long time: Am I truly walking with God… or am I mostly practicing things that point toward Him? It wasn't because I had lost my faith. Quite the opposite. I simply wanted to know Jesus Christ better. As I studied the Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and later the Nemenhah Sacred Records, I began noticing a beautiful pattern. Every sacred symbol, every ordinance, every covenant, and every scripture pointed beyond itself to one Person—Jesus Christ. That realization changed the way I studied. Instead of asking, "What does this represent?" I began asking, "How does this help me know the Savior better?" Those are very different questions. The more I read the words of Jesus, the more I noticed that He rarely invited people into a religious system. His invitation was always deeply personal: "Com...

The Temple and the Temple Way A Porch Conversation About Symbols and Reality A peaceful front porch. Morning light breaking over the horizon. A man sitting quietly, pondering. Mood: reflection, searching, thoughtful questions. For many years, I attended the temple regularly. In fact, I still do. Not because I have all the answers. Not because I understand everything. And certainly not because all of my questions have disappeared. I go largely because I love my wife. Along the way, however, I have found myself pondering something I never expected to wrestle with. What is the difference between a symbol and the reality the symbol points toward? That question became even more interesting after I began studying a section of the Nemenhah Records known as the Tuhhuhl Nuhmehn. The comparison surprised me. Not because the two traditions are completely different. In many ways they are remarkably similar. Both teach creation. Both teach covenant. Both teach progression. Both teach returning to G...

Lesson 3 Why Hahgohtl Refused to Settle Following the Colorado River Until the Lord Says Stop Listen to the New Narration:    Lesson 3 Keep Rowing 📚 Reading Assignment Primary Source Ayahtkuhyaht Nemenhah – Complete Text (Second Edition) The Book of Hahgohtl – Main Record Read the account following the miracle of the Great Fish as Hahgohtl continues leading his people farther up the River Aykihts, refusing to settle until the Lord reveals the place prepared for them. Related Scriptures 1 Nephi 17 Hebrews 11:8 Alma 37:37 🌿 Opening Thought "Faith does not stop at the first comfortable place. It continues until God says, 'This is the place.'" The miracle of the Great Fish had saved their lives. The people had eaten. The sick were recovering. The Lord had once again shown His mercy. If there were ever a time to stop, this seemed to be it. The river had become calmer. The land was improving. Many would have been grateful simply to survive. But Hahgohtl was not searchin...

  Other Sheep I Have One of the most intriguing statements Jesus ever made is found in the Gospel of John. "And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd." (John 10:16) Most Christians have read that verse many times. But have we really stopped to think about what He was saying? At the time, Jesus was speaking in Jerusalem. His disciples knew about Jerusalem. They knew about Judea. They knew about Galilee. But they knew nothing of the Nephites. Nothing of the scattered branches of Israel. Nothing of distant peoples living on other lands. Yet Jesus plainly declared that He had other sheep. Not sheep that might someday exist. Not sheep that future missionaries would eventually find. He said He already had them. And He said they would hear His voice. That statement becomes even more fascinating after His resurrection. Because according to multiple records, Christ did exactly...
