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...

Hugh Nibley Said It Like It Is — And the Book of Mormon Agrees -- The Nemenhah says it all!

  Hugh Nibley Said It Like It Is — And the Book of Mormon Agrees - The Nemenhah says it all! “I watched the video and found something in Hugh Nibley’s words that really made me sit up. Whether you agree or not, these themes show up clearly in the Book of Mormon — and they challenge us all.” ( Video:   https://youtu.be/ehBxXyk-Ots ) Hugh Nibley Wasn’t a General Authority — But He Was Honest Some people think that if something isn’t   spoken by a General Authority , it lacks weight. But that’s not how truth works. Hugh Nibley wasn’t a General Authority. He never drew a paycheck from the Church beyond being a   BYU professor and scholar .   Yet when he looked at scripture, history, and the pattern of religious decline, he didn’t shy away from saying   hard things — even about modern religion. He pointed out that religion easily becomes: mere tradition and ritual a cultural identity instead of a divine connection an institution more committed to power and comfo...

🪶 SAME NAME… DIFFERENT GATHERING --- What a “Solemn Assembly” Used to Be — and What It Is Now

  🪶 SAME NAME… DIFFERENT GATHERING What a “Solemn Assembly” Used to Be — and What It Is Now 🌅 I was listening the other day… And I heard the phrase again: 👉   “Solemn Assembly” And something in me paused. Not in anger. Not in rebellion. Just… quiet curiosity. Because I’ve read that phrase before. 📖 WHERE DOES THIS COME FROM? A solemn assembly isn’t new. It didn’t start in Salt Lake. It didn’t start in 1830. It goes all the way back to scripture. 📜 BIBLE — WHAT IT WAS 4 👉   Joel 2 👉   2 Chronicles 7 A solemn assembly meant one thing: 👉   Come before God… broken, humble, and ready Fasting Weeping Repenting Crying out to God Not listening. Not observing. 👉   Crying out. And what happened? Fire came down from heaven The presence of God filled the temple 📘 BOOK OF MORMON — WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE 4 👉   Mosiah 2–5 👉   3 Nephi 11 When people gathered… 👉 It wasn’t about leadership. It was about: Falling to the earth Crying out for mercy Receiving...

Video 58 --- ❤️ Zion Begins in the Heart

  ❤️ Zion Begins in the Heart 🪶   Why every attempt to build Zion fails — until something changes inside us first. 🌱 We Often Start in the Wrong Place When people talk about Zion, we usually think outward. A place. A gathering. A people coming together. A society finally ordered the right way. But scripture tells a quieter story. Every attempt to build Zion that begins   outside   first eventually fails — even when the intentions are sincere, and even when the teachings are true. Zion does not begin with geography. Zion begins in the heart. 📖 Scripture Is Consistent About This Again and again, scripture describes Zion using the same language: one heart one mind no poor among them all things common dwelling in righteousness These are not structural descriptions. They are   heart conditions . You cannot legislate them. You cannot organize them into existence. You cannot enforce them without destroying them. They either grow — or they don’t. 💔 Why Zion Always B...
