The True Remnant

🎥 Video 86 — Hearing the Savior 🕊️   He Was Closer Than I Thought 📺 Companion Video: (Video 86 — Hearing the Savior) Something changed in me… but not the way I expected. For most of my life, I thought hearing the Savior was something big. You know… a voice, a moment, something unmistakable. Something you could point to and say: “That was Him.” And because I didn’t have that… I kind of assumed I wasn’t hearing Him. But looking back now… I can see I was wrong. 🌙   A Quiet Night I Didn’t Understand I remember waking up one night. No reason. Just wide awake. And there was this feeling… not fear… just a quiet nudge. And a name came into my mind. Someone I hadn’t thought about in a long time. I almost rolled over and went back to sleep. But it stayed. So I said something simple: “Alright, Lord… if that’s you, I’ll reach out in the morning.” Next day, I did. Nothing fancy. Just a simple message. And come to find out… that person was going through something right then. Now I didn’...

  When Families Fight — Walking With the Peacemaker 🕊️ The last little while I’ve been thinking about families. Good families. Families that love each other… but sometimes still end up fighting. It happens more often than we like to admit. Sometimes it’s about money. Sometimes it’s about misunderstandings. Sometimes it’s about something that happened years ago that nobody ever quite worked through. And before long, people who love each other start defending their position instead of defending their relationship. I’ve been watching this happen in my own life recently, and it made me stop and think about something very simple. What would the Peacemaker do? The Peacemaker Walked Into Contention 🕊️ When Jesus walked the earth, He didn’t walk into peaceful situations. He walked into arguments. Pharisees arguing with Sadducees. Disciples arguing about who was greatest. Families divided. Crowds shouting. And yet His message was always the same. “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they s...

What Was Draining My Peace   I had a dream I couldn't figure out. Actually, I had it several times. The details changed a little, but it always involved water leaking somewhere. Sometimes it was a pipe. Sometimes it was a garage. Sometimes it was water coming through a ceiling. I would wake up thinking: "What in the world is that supposed to mean?" Like most people, I assumed it was something practical. Maybe money. Maybe work. Maybe something I needed to take care of. So I started looking around. But nothing seemed to fit. The dream kept coming back. One day it finally hit me. Maybe the leak wasn't money. Maybe it wasn't work. Maybe it wasn't something outside of me at all. Maybe it was peace. That got my attention. Because if I'm honest, the last several months haven't exactly been peaceful. There have been misunderstandings. Hard feelings. Things I wish had gone differently. Conversations I wish had gone better. People I care about who don't alw...

                           What I Know Now                  If We Were Sitting on the Porch Introduction If We Were Sitting on the Porch If you and I were sitting together on a porch this evening, watching the sun disappear beyond the horizon, and you asked me what life has taught me, I think my answer would be much simpler than it once was. When I was younger, I thought life was about finding answers. The older I get, the more I think it is about learning lessons. Some of those lessons came through marriage. Some came through children and grandchildren. Some came through mistakes. Some came through health challenges I never expected. And a few came in ways I never would have imagined. There was a season in my life when I was searching for answers about many things. During that time, the Lord taught me something that would change the direction of my life. One night, He spok...

📝 Just Walk With Him (Video 85 — Companion Blog) 🕊️   This Is What It Came Down To There’s something I didn’t expect on this journey. I really thought I was going to figure everything out. Church history. Brigham Young. What happened back then. What’s true. What’s not. All the different records. All the questions. I thought if I just stayed with it long enough… I’d finally land on the answer. Like one day I’d sit back and say, “Alright… I’ve got it now.” But that’s not what happened. 👣   It Got Simpler After all the reading… all the studying… all the writing… all the sorting… It came down to something so simple… I almost missed it. Just walk with Him. That’s it. Not figure everything out. Not solve every question. Not tie up every loose end. Just… walk with Him. 🧠   The Shift That Changed Everything At first, that was hard for me. Because the complicated stuff feels productive. It feels like progress. It feels like you’re building something solid. But somewhere along ...

                     Zion Begins at Home Introduction Why I Wrote This Book For years, I chased Zion all over the map. I looked for it in books. I looked for it in prophecies. I looked for it in churches. I looked for it in movements. I looked for it in people who seemed to know more than I did. If someone had told me twenty years ago that Zion might begin in an ordinary home, around an ordinary kitchen table, with ordinary people trying to follow Christ, I probably would have laughed. I was looking for something much bigger. Much grander. Much farther away. I remember sitting in meetings, attending conferences, reading books, and studying prophecy, always feeling like Zion was somewhere out there. Some future gathering. Some hidden place. Some great event that would suddenly change everything. I thought if I could just learn enough, study enough, or find the right people, I would finally understand what Zion was supposed to be. But...
