🕊️ A Six-Year Journey

🕊️ A Six-Year Journey Together

Today I want to introduce a family who chose to take a journey with the Lord.

This isn’t a project of debate or argument. It’s a walk of scripture, fasting, prayer, and repentance. It is a desire to put our feet back on the “rock of our Redeemer” (Helaman 5:12).

Over an eight year span, they’ve searched the words of Joseph Smith, poured over the Book of Mormon, and wrestled in prayer. What they’ve written is not the voice of scholars or authorities, but of a humble family seeking Christ.

🌱 What They Believe

At the heart of their testimony is simple faith:

  • God is the Eternal Father.

  • Jesus Christ is His literal Son, who atoned for the sins of the world.

  • The Holy Ghost testifies of the Father and the Son.

  • The Bible and the Book of Mormon are true.

  • Joseph Smith saw the Father and the Son, and was a prophet of the Restoration.

That’s the foundation. That’s the Rock.

🏛️ What They Discovered

As their study deepened, they found that the traditional story we often tell about our history doesn’t fully align with the scriptures.

  • Nauvoo’s temple commandment was not finished in time (D&C 124). The saints were moved, and the temple was destroyed.

  • The Book of Mormon’s warnings to the Gentiles are not to outsiders—they are to us. Nephi, Christ, and Moroni all foresaw that the Gentiles would reject the fulness of the gospel.

  • Priesthood power is not just titles or offices—it is given by God’s own voice, and it can be lost.

  • The temple endowment was given as a blueprint, an invitation to personally enter back into God’s presence, not a finish line.

  • Salvation has always been individual, not collective. Each soul is invited to receive the Second Comforter, the personal ministry of Jesus Christ.

🔥 Why Share It?

They don’t write out of pride. In their own words: “We are sinners, the least of all saints, continually repenting. We know some may think us fools. Eight years ago, we might have thought the same.”

But they believe the Restoration is still ongoing. Zion has not yet come. And the invitation remains open:

  • “Awake to your awful situation” (Ether 8:24).

  • “Repent and return unto me, O Gentiles” (3 Nephi 16:13).

  • “Seek this Jesus” (Ether 12:41).

🕊️ The Journey Ahead

This many year walk is not about following a man, but about seeking Christ. It is about:

  • remembering the Book of Mormon as our covenant,

  • receiving the ordinances as invitations,

  • humbly repenting as a family,

  • and pressing forward to literally know the Lord.

Like Joel prophesied: “I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions” (Joel 2:28).

That promise belongs to them. It belongs to you. It belongs to all who will hunger and thirst after righteousness.

🙏 Our Hope

This pre-blog is simply a synopsis of their walk. Over time, we’ll share pieces of their testimony, the scriptures that shaped them, and the questions they wrestled with.

Not to prove ourselves right.
Not to argue.
But to invite you to consider—
as the Apostles once asked at the Last Supper:

“Lord, is it I?”

In the name of Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd, the Holy Messiah, the Rock of our Salvation—Amen.

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...
