{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Building Zion Podcast","slug":"smashly85","podcastDescription":"

Building Zion is the podcast for faithful members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who believe the Second Coming of Jesus Christ is near—but also understand that Zion won’t simply appear after Christ returns. It must be built before He comes again.

Each episode explores practical, spiritual, and deeply personal ways to build Zion within your own heart—because Zion will rise one covenant keeper at a time. As you transform your inner world, that light naturally expands to your family, your ward, and eventually your community.

Through scripture-based insights, stories, actionable tools, and uplifting conversations, Building Zion helps you:

• Strengthen your discipleship and deepen your conversion

• Cultivate Christlike attributes needed for a Zion people

• Create greater unity and love within your home

• Influence your community for good as a disciple of Christ

• Prepare spiritually and emotionally for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ

If you’ve ever wondered how to actually build Zion now—and what your personal role is in preparing the world for the Savior’s return—this podcast will guide you step-by-step.

Join the movement. Grow your heart. Strengthen your family. Help build God’s community on earth.
