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...

🌍 A PATTERN WORTH NOTICING

  🌍 A PATTERN WORTH NOTICING (A quiet observation before we begin) Lately, I’ve been noticing something that keeps repeating across history. Different cultures. Different records. Different times. Yet the same result appears again and again. When people live a certain way,   peace lasts . This isn’t theory. It has already happened. ðŸŒū HOW PEACE ACTUALLY COMES And Why It Has Appeared More Than Once After sharing the story of Japan’s long peace, a question naturally follows: Was that a one-time miracle? Or part of something larger? When we widen the view, the answer becomes clear. The same pattern that brought peace to Japan appears elsewhere — written into sacred records, preserved by different peoples, across centuries. ðŸŒŋ THE FIRST GREAT EXAMPLE — ENOCH Long before recorded empires, there was a man named   Enoch . The record says his people: Were of   one heart and one mind Had   no poor among them Walked with God, not institutions This wasn’t enforced equalit...

Video 57 --- 🏗️ So What Do We Do Now? This is just the opposite of an April Fool's Joke

  🏗️ So What Do We Do Now? ðŸŠķ   A simple Zion question — asked quietly, and answered plainly in scripture. 🌅 Seeing Clearly Creates Responsibility Once we wake up, something changes. We can’t unknow what we’ve seen. We can’t pretend the questions don’t matter. And we can’t live the same way we did before. But awakening alone doesn’t tell us   how to live . So a deeper question begins to rise — not in anger, but in sincerity: What does Christ want us to do now? 📖 Scripture Is Surprisingly Clear When I turn to scripture — especially the Book of Mormon — I’m struck by how   practical   it is. It doesn’t say: wait for perfect conditions build the right institution first solve every problem before acting Instead, it keeps returning to a way of life: ➡️ Repent daily ➡️ Be baptized into Christ ➡️ Receive and follow the Spirit ➡️ Care for the poor and the weak ➡️ Live consecrated lives ➡️ Stop seeking power over one another ➡️ Become one Zion, in scripture, is not an...

ðŸŒŋ The New and Everlasting Covenant — A Quiet Remembering

4 ðŸŒŋ The New and Everlasting Covenant — A Quiet Remembering Hello friends. It’s just the old man again… sitting still long enough to listen. For a long time, I thought the   New and Everlasting Covenant   was something   managed   — defined by forms, protected by systems, administered by permission. But the longer I sit with Jesus, the more I wonder if the covenant was never meant to be   managed   at all. What if it was meant to be   lived ? 🕊️ Before There Was a World Across the true records, there is a gentle agreement. Light comes   before   the sun. The Word comes   before   matter. Relationship comes   before   structure. In the Nemenhah Records, the New and Everlasting Covenant is spoken of as existing   before the foundations of this earth   — received in light, not flesh; entered by consent, not command. This harmonizes quietly with the   Bible , where the covenant is written on hearts, not stone. ...

ðŸŒŋ WALKING WITH JESUS WHEN NOTHING NEEDS TO BE PROVED

-
Image
  ðŸŒŋ WALKING WITH JESUS WHEN NOTHING NEEDS TO BE PROVED There comes a point on the path where something subtle changes. You stop trying to explain yourself. You stop needing to be right. You stop feeling the urge to convince anyone of anything. And at first, that can feel unsettling. Because for a long time, faith felt like   holding on . Explaining. Defending. Making sure you had answers ready. But then… something loosens. 🕊️ When the Questions Go Quiet This isn’t the silence of doubt. It’s the silence of   rest . You still care about truth. You still love the Savior. You still listen. But you no longer feel chased by questions. You realize you don’t need to resolve everything today. Or tomorrow. Or at all. And somehow, that’s okay. ðŸŒū When Faith Stops Performing There’s a moment when you notice you’re no longer   performing   belief. You’re not trying to sound faithful. You’re not arranging words to pass a test. You’re not worried about how your faith appears...

Video 56 --- 🌙 Why Waking Up Can Feel So Lonely

-
  🌙 Why Waking Up Can Feel So Lonely ðŸŠķ   A gentle word for those who see more now — and feel a little alone because of it. 👁️ Seeing More Changes Your World When you wake up, something subtle happens. You don’t just see   new things   — you stop seeing the world the same way. Conversations feel different. Certainties feel thinner. Old labels don’t fit like they used to. You may still love the same people. Still attend familiar places. Still speak kindly and carefully. But inside, something has shifted. And that shift can feel lonely. ðŸĪ A Loneliness Few Talk About This kind of loneliness isn’t about being rejected. It’s about   outgrowing simple answers . You can’t fully go back — but you’re not trying to run ahead either. You don’t want to argue. You don’t want to recruit. You don’t want to tear anything down. You just want to walk with Jesus honestly. And sometimes that puts you… in between. 🕊️ You’re Not Doing Anything Wrong Let me say this clearly: If wa...

ðŸŠķ The Nemenhah Records & The Book of Mormon Part 2

  ðŸŠķ The Nemenhah Records & The Book of Mormon   Part 2 A Side-by-Side Witness (With Scripture) There’s something I’ve come to see… 👉 The Book of Mormon gives the pattern 👉 The Nemenhah Records show a people trying to live it So instead of arguing… Let’s just   put them side by side   and let you decide. 📖 1. Laying Down Weapons (Alma 23–24) 📘 Book of Mormon “They buried their weapons of war… and they did not fight against God anymore.” — Alma 23:7 “They took their swords… and they did bury them deep in the earth… and they did covenant… never to use weapons again.” — Alma 24:17–18 “They would suffer even unto death rather than commit sin.” — Alma 24:19 👉 These people chose: No violence No revenge Total trust in God ðŸŠķ Nemenhah Records 📄   AYAHTKUHYAHT NEMENHAH — Book of Ordinances & Ceremonies “Take not up the weapon of blood unless commanded by the Peacemaker… for vengeance is not yours, but His.” “Better that a man should give his life than ...
