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...

🕊️ 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 ...

🪶 When Mothers Are Honored, Peace Follows

-
  🪶  When Mothers Are Honored, Peace Follows (Just something I’ve been quietly thinking about…) I’ve been sitting with a thought lately. Not trying to prove anything. Not trying to persuade anyone. Just noticing a   pattern . Some folks ask whether people from the Book of Mormon — like Hagoth — could have traveled across the Pacific. The record says they left… and were never heard of again. That doesn’t prove anything. But it does leave room. And sometimes, room is enough. 🌊 A little history (nothing dramatic) There are a few things scholars quietly admit: • Polynesian peoples show ancient ties to mainland populations • Oral traditions across the Pacific talk about people arriving from far away • The Ainu of northern Japan were a very old and very distinct people • They don’t look like mainstream Japanese • Their features resemble Siberian and northern Pacific tribes • Even some Native American groups So yes —   historically , something   could   have hap...

🌄 THE MEDICINE WHEEL & THE ATONEMENT

-
🌄 THE MEDICINE WHEEL & THE ATONEMENT Walking With Christ Through Light, Love, Healing, and Oneness There are seasons when the Lord does not push forward, but gently slows us down. Moments when He places His hand on our shoulder and says, “Be still. Let Me do the work.” This reflection is for one of those seasons. Many believers spend years trying to understand the Atonement—not just as a doctrine to believe, but as a   living experience . Over time, the Lord teaches that His healing is not rushed, mechanical, or abstract. It unfolds patiently, direction by direction, layer by layer. One way to see this living movement of Christ is through the ancient pattern known as the   Medicine Wheel —a simple compass that mirrors how the Savior works within the soul. 🟡 EAST —   Light from Christ Revelation. Awakening. Seeing clearly. The journey begins with Light. Christ brings understanding. He separates truth from tradition and opens the eyes of the heart. This is why moments...

  🌿 Walking With Jesus When You’re Tired of Explaining Yourself (Companion Blog for Video 35) 📺   Companion Video 35 — Talk With Jesus Daily You can watch the video here: 👉   https://www.youtube.com/@TheTrueRemnant/videos If you haven’t watched the video yet, I suggest starting there. This blog is for seasons when you find yourself worn down by words — when explaining your heart feels harder than staying quiet. And as always, let me say this gently at the start: If you have questions, or if something here connects with something you’re carrying quietly,   please feel free to ask . I don’t have all the answers, but I care, and I’ll do my best to respond as soon as I can. You don’t have to walk this alone. There comes a point in the walk with Jesus when you realize you’re tired of explaining yourself. Not because you’re hiding. Not because you’re ashamed. But because words no longer seem to help. You explain once. Then again. Then again. And eventually, the soul say...

🌾 First Zion, the Sealed Portion, and a People Being Prepared 🪶 A quiet reflection on Ether 4, Pure Revelations, and the Nemenhah Records

  🌾 First Zion, the Sealed Portion, and a People Being Prepared 🪶   A quiet reflection on Ether 4, Pure Revelations, and the Nemenhah Records For many years now, I’ve been grateful for the work done by   Pure Revelations . His writings helped pull me out of something subtle but dangerous — the idea that believing   about   Christ was the same as   knowing Him . Over and over, he pointed back to the Book of Mormon’s central demand: Repent deeply. Seek Christ directly. Let Zion be measured by fruit, not by claims. That path changed me. 🌱 What Pure Revelations Is Really Doing It’s easy to read Pure Revelations and focus on ideas or interpretations. But what he is actually doing is   preparing servants . Not servants of a church. Not servants of a movement. Servants of   Jesus Christ . Again and again, he teaches that: Zion is not institutional Zion does not arrive by announcement Zion is a people, not a program The gifts of the Spirit are the true...

🏛️ When the Buildings Remain but the People Move On (A quiet reflection on temples, trust, and what survives every reset)

-
  🏛️ When the Buildings Remain but the People Move On (A quiet reflection on temples, trust, and what survives every reset) There’s a question that tends to surface quietly — usually not in public meetings, but in private moments. It goes something like this: “If there’s a great shaking… what happens to all the buildings?” Not just houses. Not just banks. But   church buildings . Temples. Cathedrals. Sacred spaces built with real faith, real sacrifice, and real devotion. It’s a fair question. And scripture has answered it before — more than once. 🧱 Buildings Have Always Outlived Their Purpose History is gentle, but firm, about this. Solomon’s Temple stood — then fell Synagogues flourished — then scattered Cathedrals filled Europe — many now museums or concert halls The pattern is not destruction first. The pattern is   departure first . God does not usually tear buildings down. He simply   stops living in them . 📜 The Bible Is Clear (and Calm) About This When Jesu...
