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...

🪶 Medicine Wheel — What It Actually Is

-
  🪶   Medicine Wheel — What It Actually Is Let me say this as plainly as I can. The Medicine Wheel is not a new religion. It is not a rejection of the temple. It is not a dismissal of commandments. It is not experience for the sake of experience. It is a pattern. A pattern that helps a person become capable of standing in the presence of Christ consciously. That’s really it. Everything we’ve walked through—the center, agency, knowledge, wisdom, balance, consecration, union—is not just philosophy. It is growth. It is capacity forming over time. 🪶   A Simple Orientation The Wheel doesn’t add something new. It helps bring attention back to something already present: Learning to listen. Learning to trust. Learning to align. 🌿   The Center — Worth Before Performance You begin already loved. Already known. Already seen. Not on trial. Not trying to earn breath. The center invites a different way to understand passages like Abraham 3:25. “We will prove them…” Instead of i...

🪶 Knowledge Without Fear --- Medicine Wheel #3

-
🪶 Knowledge Without Fear Last time we sat in the center. We remembered: We are already here. We carry divine endowment. We have noble agency safeguarded by the Peacemaker. Now we take our first step outward. Into Knowledge. ___________________________________________________________________________________ 🪶 A Simple Reminder The Medicine Wheel moves in a pattern. It begins in the center — where we remember who we are. Then it moves outward in steps. Knowledge is the first step. 🌿 The First Pillar: Knowledge The first step outward on the Wheel is simple: Observe. Study. Listen. Learn. Not judge. Not condemn. Not defend. Just see. That sounds easy. It isn’t. Because most of us were taught how to   defend   our beliefs before we were taught how to examine them. 🕊️ Why Knowledge Scares People If you were raised in a system where obedience came first, then knowledge can feel threatening. Because knowledge asks questions. And if your identity is tied to a belief system, questio...

🌿 Video 62 — What Actually Blocks Revelation

  🌿 62 — What Actually Blocks Revelation 🪶 It’s not what most people think 🌅 Most People Think the Problem Is Sin When people struggle to feel God’s nearness, they usually assume one thing: “I must not be worthy.” So they try harder. They promise more. They examine themselves endlessly. They tighten up. But here’s something I’ve learned over the years: Unworthiness is rarely the real barrier. Noise is. 📣 We Live Loud Lives Our bodies are loud. Our thoughts are loud. Our fears are loud. Our need to be right is loud. Our need to control outcomes is loud. Our disappointment is loud. Even our spiritual striving can be loud. And when everything inside us is loud… it’s very hard to notice a quiet God. 🧗 Climbing Returns in Subtle Ways After a surrender moment, something strange can happen. We begin climbing again. Not obviously. Quietly. We start thinking: “I need to recreate that feeling.” “I need to make it happen again.” “I need to reach that place.” That’s climbing. And climbing...

The Medicine Wheel

-
  🪶   What Is the Medicine Wheel — And Why It Matters (Start Here) Let me say this as plain as I know how. Because if you don’t understand this… you’ll miss the whole point of everything I’ve been writing. The Medicine Wheel is not a new religion. It’s not a trend. It’s not something strange or mystical. 👉 It is a way back. A way back to hearing the Savior. 🪶   A New Series (Start Here) I’m starting a full series on this. Not just one post. 👉 A walk. There are going to be close to 20 short, simple posts that break this down step by step. Nothing complicated. Nothing rushed. Just a clear path you can actually live. If you’ve ever felt like: 👉 “I believe… but I don’t know if I’m really hearing Him…” This series is for you. 🌄   Moroni — After the War Let’s start with something real. Think about   Moroni . Not the statue on top of a temple. The man. He watched his entire civilization collapse. He saw: war killing betrayal destruction He buried his father. He w...

🪶 Before You Move Outward, You Have to Sit in the Center --- Medicine Wheel #2

-
  🪶 Before You Move Outward, You Have to Sit in the Center After writing the last post, something settled in me. If the Medicine Wheel begins anywhere, it begins in the center. 🪶 A Quick Reminder If you’re new to this, the Medicine Wheel is simply a way of walking with God that moves in a pattern. It doesn’t start with doing. It starts with being. Everything begins in the center… and then moves outward from there. Not in action. Not in knowledge. Not in fixing the world. In remembering. 🌿 The Mother’s Lodge The center of the Wheel is sometimes called the Mother’s Lodge. Think of it like the place you return to before you move anywhere else. That name matters. Because it’s not a courtroom. It’s not a testing site. It’s not a proving ground. It’s a place of habitation. You don’t stand in the center to be judged. You sit there to remember who you are. 🕊️ Three Things the Center Teaches When you sit quietly long enough, three truths begin to surface. Not shouted. Just gently rising...

🕊️ Polygamy, the Book of Mormon… and the Question That Won’t Go Away

-
  🕊️ Polygamy, the Book of Mormon… and the Question That Won’t Go Away There are good men I love—men who have studied deeply—who feel there is overwhelming historical evidence that Joseph Smith practiced polygamy. I understand that position. I really do. Some of them have spent years in original documents, journals, and the   Joseph Smith Papers Project . And I respect that work. But for me… this question didn’t stay in the realm of history. It became something deeper. 📖 When History Meets Scripture At some point, I had to ask a different question: 👉   Does this line up with the Book of Mormon? Because the Lord speaks very plainly there. In   Book of Mormon , Jacob chapter 2, the command is direct: One wife No concubines No justifying it by tradition or kings And then comes the warning: “For they seek to excuse themselves… because of the things which were written concerning David and Solomon.” That stopped me in my tracks. Because that sounds exactly like the argu...
