Where’s Zion

🧱 Zion Won’t Come from Headquarters

We’ve built a lot of things.

Temples with chandeliers.
Manuals with footnotes.
Hierarchies with handbooks.

But I have to ask...

Where’s Zion?

That city with no poor among them.
That people of one heart and one mind.
That place where Christ walks among us—not just metaphorically, but literally?

I’ve heard leaders say we’re building it.
But I’ve looked around… and I’m not so sure.

🏗️ The Blueprint Hasn’t Changed

Zion doesn’t come from the top down.

It never did.

God gave us the pattern in 3 Nephi and in the Nemenhah.
He gave it through Enoch, Melchizedek, and Moroni.

And the pattern never once involved:

  • A worldwide brand

  • A billion-dollar portfolio

  • Or remote leadership from an ivory tower

Instead, it always started with people—humble people—being born again.
Being filled with the Spirit.
Living with no hierarchy but the Lord.

📜 The Book of Mormon Told Us This

“And there were no contentions and disputations among them… and surely there could not be a happier people.”
—4 Nephi 1:15–16

They didn’t vote in a new president.
They didn’t file for 501(c)(3) status.
They didn’t even need a building fund.

They had Christ.

That was enough.

🪶 What the Nemenhah Remembered

“For Zion is not raised up by the command of men, neither is it maintained by decree or by tax. But it is born in the hearts of the sanctified and grows up quietly, like a garden.”
—Book of Shi-Tugohah

When the Nemenhah wanted to find Zion, they didn’t hold a committee meeting.
They consecrated their lives.
They listened for the Peacemaker.
And they walked with Him.

That was their only strategy.

And it worked.

🧱 So Where Is It Now?

Zion isn’t at headquarters.

It’s not on a spreadsheet in Salt Lake.

It’s in the wilderness.
In a living room.
In the heart of a single believer who’s finally ready to give up Babylon for good.

🌾 My Invitation to You

Stop waiting for someone else to build it.

Start living it.
Start consecrating.
Start forgiving.
Start loving.

That’s the foundation.

And when two or three are gathered in His name—He will come.

🔔 Final Thought

I used to think I had to wait on the Church.

Now I know—I was supposed to wait on the Lord.

And He’s not behind a desk.

He’s on the move.

Be Holy, Godfrey. Be the brick and the fire. Be Zion.

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...

🕊️ About This Blog: The True Remnant The True Remnant isn’t a ministry. It’s not a movement. And no, we’re not taking donations or passing the hat. 😄 It’s just… a witness. A quiet one. Born from fire. Forged in prayer. Offered in love—for anyone starting to  remember. Remember what? That Zion was never supposed to be a brand. That the temple was never supposed to need a swipe card. That Jesus never came to build a corporation—He came to gather the broken, walk with the humble, and call home the lost. If that tugs at something deep in you… You’re in the right place.  🧡 A Note to My Fellow Latter-day Saints If you’re a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (yes, the whole official name 😉) and you’re feeling a little nervous reading this—breathe. This blog isn’t here to tear down your faith. It’s here to deepen it. I haven’t left Jesus Christ. I haven’t left the Restoration. And I haven’t left the Church—at least, not yet. I know some of what I write may f...
