In this week’s study of Doctrine & Covenants 102–105 (“After much tribulation cometh the blessings”), I walk through why the first high council was organized and the loving purpose of membership councils, then trace Zion’s Camp and what it taught the Saints—and us—about obedience, timing, and building Zion through righteousness. I share stories like Reddick Allred’s steady faith and 22-year-old Nathan Baldwin’s instant obedience, plus a modern example of following prophetic counsel even when it’s hard. My personal takeaway: I want to be the one who turns west the moment the Spirit whispers. Also…watch for my new joy project (on YouTube!)—I’m finally acting on that nudge. 

Check out my book, "Feasting on the Words of Christ," where I share a simple, five-step method for receiving answers to your prayers through the scriptures. You're really going to love it!
