Come, Follow Me Moms
Moses 7
Theme: Building Zion Starts in Our Hearts and Homes
Welcome to another week of Come, Follow Me Moms, your weekly Come, Follow Me podcast created just for busy moms who want to feel the Spirit, understand the scriptures, and bring Christ into their homes without overwhelm.
This week we’re studying Moses 7, focusing on the prophet Enoch, and this time we’re only in the Pearl of Great Price.
(No need to grab your Bible this week!)
Grab your Pearl of Great Price, your headphones, and let’s dig into some powerful, hope-filled insights for moms.
🌿 Big Idea for the Week: What Is Zion?
Yes! Zion was the name of a city.
It is a condition of the heart and spirit.
Doctrine and Covenants 97:21
“Zion is the pure in heart.”
Zion is not perfection
Zion is not a Pinterest home
Zion is not quiet kids or perfect routines
✨ Zion is who we are becoming.
📖 What Happens in Moses 7? (Quick Overview)
1. Enoch Preaches Repentance (Moses 7:1–16)
Enoch is called to preach to a very wicked people. At first, they reject him but many humble themselves, repent, and turn to God.
Zion begins with repentance
Hearts change before societies change
2. Zion Is Established (Moses 7:17–21)
As the people repent, something remarkable happens:
They become of one heart and one mind
There is no contention, pride, or inequality
There is deep unity and love
Zion is not just a place… it’s a people.
3. Jesus Christ Is the King of Zion (Moses 7:53)
Enoch sees Jesus Christ and learns that Christ is the King of Zion.
Zion only works when Christ leads
Unity flows from Christ-centered hearts
4. God Weeps for His Children (Moses 7:28–40)
One of the most tender moments in all of scripture.
Enoch sees God weeping over:
Violence
Wickedness
Suffering
Lost potential
God is not distant
God feels with us
God loves His children deeply
5. Enoch Weeps Too… but God Gives Hope (Moses 7:41–69)
The Flood
Future wickedness
The coming of Jesus Christ
The Restoration
The Second Coming
Even in sorrow, God gives hope:
Christ will come
Redemption is real
Zion will return
God’s work will succeed
💛 Zion Is People (Friendship & Pregnancy Story)
This week includes a personal story from a recent girls’ trip sharing how powerful it was to be surrounded by friends who were genuinely happy for each other.
No judgment
No comparison
No jealousy
Just love, joy, and celebration
This verse from Moses 7 describes it perfectly:
“And the Lord called his people Zion, because they were of one heart and one mind…”
One mind → no comparison
Dwelling in righteousness → choosing love and kindness
✨ That is Zion. And it is seriously the best feeling.
🚫 Stop the Comparison (Strong Mom Moment)
As moms, it’s so easy to compare what we’re doing with what others are doing.
Comparison does not lead to happiness
Judgment does not create peace
Zion cannot exist where comparison lives
We revisit Moses 7:18 and learn:
You cannot be of one heart and one mind if you are constantly comparing yourself to other women.
This section also references Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf and his powerful reminder from “The Merciful Obtain Mercy”:
When it comes to judging others—STOP IT.
👑 Jesus Christ Is the King of Zion (Moses 7:53)
This verse invites an important question for moms:
What does it mean to have Jesus Christ as your King?
Change how you parent?
Soften how you respond?
Release some pressure?
✨ When Jesus is King, we don’t have to be.
😭 God Weeps (A Tender Truth for Moms)
In Moses 7:28–30, we learn something sacred:
Our effort
Our exhaustion
Our heartbreak
This section includes a conference tie-in from Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, reminding us that God’s love is:
Personal
Emotional
Near
🌅 Jesus Will Come Again… Are We Ready? (Moses 7:59–67)
Jesus promises He will come again.
So what does it look like to get ready as a mom?
Open the scriptures
The Bible or the Book of Mormon
And just start
✨ You are right on time.
✨ One verse a day is better than none.
👨👩👧 Teaching Zion to Our Kids
A simple family activity shared in this episode:
Sing “Follow the Prophet” (Enoch verse)
Read Moses 7:18
Make a paper heart
Cut it into pieces
Hide it around the house
Let the kids search for it
Zion is one heart, one mind, one purpose.
🏡 Building Zion Starts at Home
Starts in hearts
Grows in homes
Is unity and shared purpose
Is people
If your home feels loud, messy, or far from Zion that’s okay.
God is a God of progression.
Every day we try.
And when we fall, He picks us back up.
🤍 Final Thought: Zion Is People
What would it be like to have dinner with Enoch?
What would you ask him?
Zion does not mean perfect.
Zion is people choosing connection over contention.
God’s whole work is people.
Jesus’ whole work is people.
