The True Remnant

  Am I Actually Living With Him? 🌿 A Porch Thought There comes a point in every spiritual journey when the questions begin to change. At first, many of us spend years trying to answer the question: "Is God really there?" For some, that answer comes quickly. For others, it takes years. But eventually, many of us reach a place where the existence of God is no longer the central question. We've felt things. Seen things. Experienced things. We've watched prayers answered. We've received guidance we couldn't explain. We've felt heaven touch our lives in ways that are difficult to deny. And when that happens, the question changes. It becomes something deeper. Something more personal. The question becomes: "Am I actually living with Him?" 📖 Belief Is Only the Beginning Belief matters. Faith matters. Trust matters. But there is a difference between believing in Christ and walking with Christ. One is an acknowledgment. The other is a relationship. Most ...

  🪶 The Sacred Pipe — And Why It Made Me Think About Something Important The other day I watched an interesting video by   Cloudpiler and Jonathan Wellamotkin   talking about something called the   Kehlehmeht , which is the sacred pipe used in the Nemenhah tradition. Now before anyone jumps to conclusions, the reason this caught my attention wasn’t because of the pipe itself. It was because of the   principle behind it . And the way they explained it actually reminded me of something that shows up again and again in ancient scripture. But before we get there, let me explain something that a lot of people in the western United States don’t always understand. 🌎 The Confusion About “Sacred Pipes” Out here in the western United States, people often hear the phrase   “sacred pipe”   and assume all pipe ceremonies are the same. They’re not. Different cultures have   different names, different meanings, and different traditions . For example: • In some...

🌿 While Everyone Else Is Watching Babylon, Who Is Building Zion? For most of my life, I heard people talk about the last days. When I was younger, I studied prophecy books. Many of us did. We tried to figure out when the Savior would return. We looked for signs. We studied timelines. We listened to stories that had been passed around for generations. I remember hearing that someday the highways would be broken up and the Saints would have to walk back to Missouri. Others talked about great earthquakes. Some spoke of floods covering the Salt Lake Valley. Some believed the Lost Tribes would return after great events in the north. Others believed judgment would begin with the Church itself. For every prophecy there seemed to be another interpretation, another timeline, another theory. After all these years, I have come to a simple conclusion: I do not know exactly how any of it will happen. Maybe some of those stories contain truth. Maybe some are folklore. Maybe some are misunderstandin...

   The 36-Chapter Chiasm That Shocked Me (Hidden Patterns in Scripture Series) 🧭   Opening In the last video I mentioned a book from the Nemenhah writings called: The Lamentation of Mehnipahsihts. When I first started reading it, I was simply studying the teachings. But by that point I had already spent years looking for   chiasmus   in scripture. So naturally my mind started watching for patterns. And that’s when something happened that honestly shocked me. 📜   The First Hint At first I noticed small mirror patterns. A teaching would appear early in the book… Then later the same ideas would appear again in reverse order. That happens sometimes in ancient writings. But then something strange started happening. The patterns kept going. Chapter after chapter. 🌿   When the Pattern Got Bigger After a while I stepped back and looked at the entire book. And suddenly it hit me. The whole record appeared to be arranged like a mirror. Not just verses. Not ju...

 🎵 Listen First (recommended) Before you read, take a few minutes and listen to Abide With Me Sit quietly if you can… and let the words settle slowly. 👉 Listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTANUYj0MpI 🕊️ Abide With Me What if we were never meant to walk alone? Have you ever felt… like you were walking through something… and no one really understood? Even with people around… there can still be a quiet kind of loneliness. And then this hymn comes along… and gently asks: “Abide with me.” 🌿 What Does It Mean to Abide? Is it just visiting? Checking in once in a while? Or is it something deeper? Staying. Remaining. Being there… no matter what. 🪶 When the Light Feels Low The hymn speaks of evening. Of shadows. Of things fading. What do we do in those moments? When strength feels low? When answers don’t come? Do we try harder? Or is there something quieter being offered? 🕊️ A Different Kind of Help What if the answer isn’t always fixing everything? What if sometimes… it’s s...

The Holy Ghost and the Mind of God 🌿 A Porch Thought I have been thinking a lot lately about the Holy Ghost. Not just what we call Him. Not just how we talk about Him. But what His actual purpose is. Most of us grow up hearing phrases like: "I felt the Spirit." "The Holy Ghost prompted me." "I received an answer." And those things are certainly real. But what if the Holy Ghost is doing something much deeper than simply helping us feel good? What if the Holy Ghost is actually the means by which the mind of God begins to influence the mind of man? That thought has stayed with me. And the more I study the scriptures, the more I see evidence of it. 📖 More Than a Feeling The scriptures rarely describe the Holy Ghost as merely an emotional experience. Instead, they describe revelation. Truth. Light. Knowledge. Understanding. Christ taught: "The Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost... shall teach you all things." (John 14:26) Teach. Not merely comfort. ...

  The Records I Found After the Book of Mormon (Hidden Patterns in Scripture Series) 🧭   Opening Over the last several videos we’ve been talking about   chiasmus . Those mirror patterns that appear in ancient scripture. My own journey into those patterns really began with the   Book of Mormon . That book opened my eyes. It led to one of those moments where I sat back and thought: “Whoa… this can’t be coincidence.” But something interesting happened after that. Years later I came across another collection of writings called the   Nemenhah Records . And when I began studying those… things got even more interesting. 📜   Who Were the Nemenhah? The Nemenhah writings describe a people sometimes called   the People of Peace . Their traditions speak about living in harmony with the Creator, the land, and one another. The records contain teachings about: stewardship community life sacred ceremonies and the path toward Zion-like societies. But what caught my a...
