    Why People Leave the Church: There Is Only One Real Reason

    Every person who has ever left The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints left for the exact same reason. Not a hundred reasons. One. In this episode I walk through the long list of reasons people give, the offense, the church history problem, the prayer that never got answered, the doctrine they could not accept, and then show what Alma 32 says is actually happening underneath all of them. The heat of the sun comes for everybody. What decides whether the tree survives is whether it had roots when the heat arrived. I also address something I am watching happen almost weekly right now. Good members are being taken, not out the back door, but out the front, by men who build an audience and then tell them the Church has gone astray. Some claim to be the one mighty and strong. Some claim to be the servant spoken of in Isaiah. I give three questions that will identify every one of them in about ten seconds, and then I turn those same three questions on myself. If you have someone you love who has walked away, the last section of this episode is the one that matters most. Scriptures referenced: Alma 32:38 to 39, Luke 8:12 to 15, Doctrine and Covenants 43:5 to 6, Doctrine and Covenants 112:25 to 26, 1 Peter 4:12 to 13 and 17, Alma 18.

    You Cannot Take the Mark of the Beast by Accident

    You cannot take the Mark of the Beast by accident. Nobody is going to slip it into a vaccine or implant it while you sleep. The Mark requires your consent, and when a person makes that choice, everyone around them will know which way they went. Every generation names its own candidate. Barcodes. Social Security numbers. Credit cards. Implanted microchips. Biometric scanners. Whatever technology is newest and least understood becomes the leading suspect, a wave of fear moves through the Church, and then the technology becomes ordinary and everyone quietly moves on. That instinct has kept us looking in the wrong direction for a hundred years. The Mark is not primarily about technology. It is about allegiance. Once you see it that way, the question stops being which device is the Mark and becomes something much harder to avoid: whose economy are you depending on to live? In this episode I walk through what Revelation 13 says about the function of the Mark, why the hand and the forehead were chosen, and the detail out of Exodus that I almost never hear anyone discuss. The Beast did not invent that pattern. He stole it. When the Lord instructed Moses on the garments of the high priest, He specified a plate of gold worn across the forehead, and He gave the same pattern to all of Israel. One forehead reads holiness to the Lord. The other reads compliance. I also cover the second mark described in Revelation 14, the two economies it creates, and why no neutral ground will be left when a system controls buying and selling. The last section is the one that matters most. You cannot refuse the Mark if refusing it means watching your family go hungry. That is exactly the pressure the system is designed to apply, which means the ability to say no is not a matter of courage. It is a matter of whether there is another place to get food. That other place is Zion, and Zion is what we are supposed to be becoming right now.

    The First Horseman

    I never saw a vision. I never saw an angel. I never had a near death experience. I want that stated plainly before anything else, because it is the accusation I hear most often, and it is not true. What did happen started at 3:30 in the morning in December of 2021, when I felt prompted to read the book of Revelation. That began a study that has not stopped since. In this first episode I tell the whole story. The year of study. The heart condition called bigeminy that left me unable to walk to the mailbox without stopping. The night of November 22, 2022, when I fell out of bed unable to breathe, prayed harder than I have ever prayed, and instead of relief received two words I did not ask for and did not want. I asked five times for permission to talk about it. Five times the answer was no. So for two years I studied and said nothing. Then on December 23, 2024, the instruction changed to publish it to the world. I also talk about the morning in January 2025 when I jumped back from my scripture table and said out loud to an empty room, "I can't publish that." About calling my stake executive secretary the same day, and what my stake president told me. About four months of the hardest and best work of my life at 3:30 every morning. And about February 9, 2026, when I finally understood what the twelfth chapter of Revelation is actually about, and why that turned this from an interesting study into a rescue mission. This episode is the foundation. Everything else I have to say builds on it. In this episode: Why I was reading Revelation at 3:30 in the morningThe heart condition, and the night I could not breatheTwo words, and no explanationFive requests, five refusals, two years of silenceDecember 23, 2024The morning I said I cannot publish thatWhy I called my stake president, and what he saidThe marred servant of Isaiah 52Why this became a rescue missionGet the book: FirstHorseman.World Paperback, hardcover, digital, and audiobook.
