Building Zion Podcast
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.

Have you ever prayed and prayed to increase your financial situation or to connect more with your kids? These are things we have stewardship over. When we recognize that God is over everything, we can turn to Him to see how we can be better stewards over all that He has given us.
In this episode we explore ownership vs stewardship mentality. We talk about being accountable for what we do with our stewardship, and how trauma and limiting beliefs can cause us not to step into our stewardship. We also talk about the blessings that come from being wise stewards.

The heart holds the blueprints for the lives we desire, our hopes, and dreams. The Lord Requires the heart. The heart is central to everything we do. But when we block the heart, we block those dreams.
Explore with me how a blocked heart can affect our belief systems, our relationships, our health, and our ability to receive revelation.

Learning to feel our emotions and allow them to flow through us enhances our relationships and our lives. Being emotionally mature means that we can show up better and increases our agency.
All emotions have a softer form and a more intense form. If we can recognize them in their soft form, then we don’t have to wait for them to come back in their more intense form.
All emotions are beautiful, with messages to help lead and guide us in our lives. The more we work with all our emotions, the happier we will feel.

We have been taught to suppress and reject our emotions. However our emotions are part of who we are and this mortal experience. God is a God of emotions. If we want to be like Him, we too need to learn how to process our emotions.
Our emotions are meant to serve us. They hold messages for us, to guide us in our lives. One of the most Christ like things we can do, is learn to sit in our emotions so that we can sit with others in their emotion’s.
Part of building Zion, is to be of one mind and heart. Our hearts hold our emotional center. Part of being one is listening to both our intellectual self and our emotional self.

Have you ever desperately needed an answer from the Lord but have felt like the heaven’s were closed to you?
I use to believe that revelation was like a light switch. Either God was taking to me or He wasn’t. It wasn’t until I discovered that revelation is more like to sun always shining, and it was my responsibility to receive the revelation that everything changed for me. Join me as we walk through the many ways we can block the sun/revelation in our own lives.
