We know Lehi, Nephi, Alma, Samuel the Lamanite, Mormon, Moroni, and Hagoth. But what happened beyond the familiar record? The Nemenhah Sacred Records preserve another history—one that follows families who traveled northward, built communities, worshiped in sacred temples, remembered the visits of Jesus Christ, and attempted to live the way of the Peacemaker. This opening presentation introduces the people, the records, and the journey ahead. 🎧 Listen to the narr...

🕊️ You Don’t Prove Yourself to Be Loved

Image
  🕊️ You Don’t Prove Yourself to Be Loved The other day I wrote about proving ourselves in this life . And I still believe that. This life does shape us. It does reveal what’s in our hearts. It does invite us to choose… over and over again. But I want to slow that down for just a second. Because there’s something just as important—maybe even more important—that sits underneath all of it. ❤️ You’re Already His Before you prove anything… Before you fix anything… Before you figure it all out… 👉 You are already His. Not because you earned it. Not because you got everything right. Not because your life looks clean on the outside. But because He loves you. Like a Father. Like… Abba . ðŸ”Ĩ So Then… Why the Walk? So if we’re already loved… why does the path matter? Why repentance? Why growth? Why this whole “proving” thing? Because the walk isn’t about earning love. 👉 It’s about becoming able to live in it . 🧭 The Shift Some of us were taught—without even realizing it: “If I do this r...

ðŸŠķ THE BOOK OF MOSIAH WAS BUILT ON PURPOSE

  ðŸŠķ THE BOOK OF MOSIAH WAS BUILT ON PURPOSE (And Nobody Told Us…) Hello friends. This is just an old man from the sticks… …sitting here thinking again. Because the more I look at this stuff… the more it stops being coincidence. And starts looking like design. ðŸŒŋ Something Hidden in Plain Sight I came across something fascinating. There’s a growing body of research showing that the entire Book of Mosiah… is structured as one massive chiasm. Now don’t let that word scare you. Here’s the simple version: 👉 It’s a mirror pattern. A → B → C → D → C → B → A Like walking into the woods… …and then walking back out the exact same way. 🔍 The Claim (And It’s a Big One) According to this study: The whole book (29 chapters) Over 30,000 words Built in mirrored sections And right in the center… 👉 Isaiah 53 — the suffering Savior Everything leads to Him… …and everything flows back out from Him. 🕊️ The Center Is the Message Here’s the key to understanding chiasmus: 👉 The center is the point. ...

Nemenhah Hero Series — Part 1: Early Generations and the Founding Migrations

Image
  Nemenhah Hero Series — Part 1: Early Generations and the Founding Migrations A people’s story begins with people making choices. Someone shows mercy after a battle. A father teaches his son a useful skill. Healers share their knowledge. Families leave familiar surroundings and work together to establish a new home. The opening Nemenhah accounts bring us into that kind of story. In this first installment, we meet fifteen people connected with the earlier generations and founding migrations. Some have substantial accounts. Others appear only briefly, but their contributions help us understand the families and communities around them. These summaries follow the Nemenhah narrative. The order provides a broad reading guide; it does not establish exact dates for every life. Mohrhohnahyah — The Earlier Captain Moroni Mercy remembered by a former enemy Tsi-Tuhgohhah begins his record by remembering a captain who defeated his people and then treated them with mercy and wisdom. That is a m...

Nemenhah Heroes Series: People Worth Remembering

Image
  Nemenhah Heroes: People Worth Remembering When we read a sacred record, unfamiliar names can be easy to pass over. We may struggle to pronounce them, wonder how everyone is related, and lose track of where their stories fit. But behind those names are people. A shipbuilder puts his skills to work for traveling families. A healer cares for people wounded by war. A former enemy remembers the mercy shown to him. A daughter preserves her mother’s words. A neighbor speaks up for someone being unfairly judged. Those are people I want to know more about. That is why I am beginning the Nemenhah Hero Series . Why These Stories Matter to Me Much of my study centers on Jesus Christ and the Book of Mormon. Studying the Nemenhah records has given me additional accounts to consider—stories about families, communities, and people seeking to follow Jesus Christ, whom they call the Peacemaker. What draws me to these stories is the way faith becomes part of daily life. Someone feeds a neighbor. So...

Come Unto Me Again: Receiving More Without Losing Humility --- A reflection on Second Tsi Muhayl, chapter 8, from our November 1, 2026, Sunday Zoom discussion

  Come Unto Me Again: Receiving More Without Losing Humility A reflection on Second Tsi Muhayl, chapter 8, from our November 1, 2026, Sunday Zoom discussion There was one thought I kept returning to during our Sunday study: Whatever more I receive from the Lord should help me love people more. Second Tsi Muhayl, chapter 8, gives us much to consider. It speaks of coming personally to Christ, receiving instruction upon the Way, and having our spiritual senses opened. It also contains strong warnings about pride, riches, control, and the treatment of His daughters. But after those warnings, the chapter brings us back to humility. In verses 40–41, Christ tells the readers not to judge the people He has been correcting. He recognizes their contribution. That part matters to me. I can read a warning and immediately think of someone else who needs it. This chapter invites me to slow down and ask what the Lord wants to change in me. Coming personally to Christ For readers new to the Nemenh...

For many years the faithful had waited. They had trusted. They had prayed. They had endured ridicule from those who no longer believed. Then... the day finally arrived.

Preparing Hearts and Preserving the Way

  Preparing Hearts and Preserving the Way Learning to Walk with the Peacemaker — Reflections on the Nemenhah Newsletter, November 5, 2026 What helps a person feel ready to enter a sacred gathering? Sometimes it begins with someone noticing them at the door. Someone explains an unfamiliar word, answers a question patiently, or offers a place to sit. That simple kindness can help a person who has arrived feeling uncertain take another step. Richard Forsyth begins this week’s Nemenhah newsletter with that very human concern. People come with different experiences. Some carry hurt. Those who already know the customs can forget how much a newcomer has yet to learn. The featured teaching by Philip R. “Cloudpiler” Landis, dated November 5, 2026, explores the Kohhaht and the Tiwehkthihmpt. Its full title is “The Kohhaht and the Tiwehkthihmpt: Living Sacrifice, Sacred Stewardship, and the Preservation of the Way.” Drawing principally on Second Ahyahpahlehksihluhm, he explains how these two ...
