Christian Homestead on Elder Gilbert's Africa West address
1:20Christian Homestead · 22 min
Jared reads Elder Clark G. Gilbert's new Africa West remarks line by line, arguing that the Church's push to develop leaders and educate members is deliberate staging for the Second Coming — and that the African growth surge is a practice run for a far larger influx.
Christian Homestead on the published list of Second Coming changes
3:59Christian Homestead · 39 min
The October 2026 *For the Strength of Youth* ran a bullet list titled "What do we know about the Millennium?", and Jared walks the list point by point, filling in the details he thinks the Church left out.
Church History Matters on the shooting of Governor Boggs
7:14Church History Matters Podcast · 91 min
Episode one of a new Porter Rockwell series works through every source claiming Rockwell confessed to shooting Lilburn W. Boggs — and finds that two of the three trace back to the same third-hand anti-Mormon writer, while the accusation that started it all came from John C. Bennett in the same two weeks he was being excommunicated.
RISE ZION on Charlie Kirk, one year on
11:26RISE ZION · 79 min
On the first anniversary of Charlie Kirk's assassination, Seth — who attended UVU and lives blocks from the hospital where Kirk died — reads President Nelson's final birthday message aloud alongside two long Deseret News pieces, one by a reporter who was there and one by the journalist who gave Kirk his last interview.
RISE ZION on the For the Strength of Youth millennium article
15:47RISE ZION · 71 min
A Labor Day live stream reading through "What do we know about the millennium?" — a 13-point list in the October 2026 *For the Strength of Youth* — with Seth's commentary, most of it centered on the magazine's explanation that Satan is bound during the millennium *because of the righteousness of the people* rather than by literal confinement.
RISE ZION on an anonymous report of a stake president's blessing
18:30RISE ZION · 17 min
The Saturday viewer-report episode: a member's emailed notes from a January 18, 2026 ward conference where a stake president taught on fasting and obedience, then pronounced a blessing ending with the line in the title.
RISE ZION reupload of the twenty twenty-six Sunday schedule training
20:18RISE ZION · 10 min
Official Church training videos for the September 6, 2026 second-hour change, collected into one upload with no Rise Zion commentary — two dramatized member vignettes, a Sunday School teacher modeling facilitation, and narrated instruction.
Jasmin Rappleye on the new hymnbook
22:30Jasmin Rappleye · 48 min
Rappleye hand-tallies all ~80 hymns released so far in the new hymnbook against the 1985 book, finds the "too Christian" complaint is only half right — the outside-tradition ratio is nearly identical, but distinctly Latter-day Saint hymns have dropped from 49% to 25% — then does a subjective tier ranking of the popular ones.
