The Continental Model That Unites Heartland & Meso: Was Joseph Right All Along?

Explore the full Continental Model of Book of Mormon geography—uniting Heartland, Mesoamerica, and Joseph Smith’s own words into one powerful narrative of faith, prophecy, and discovery.

If you’ve ever wondered where the Book of Mormon really took place—or why every model seems to miss something—this conversation is for you. In this episode, Lance Weaver walks you through his full Continental Model, connecting Heartland and Mesoamerican insights with Joseph Smith’s original statements.

You’ll see how scripture, archaeology, and prophecy align to reveal a sweeping story that spans from Chile to Cumorah—exploring cities like Zarahemla, Bountiful, and Nephi with remarkable precision. We’ll also discuss the latest discoveries in Mexico, ancient temples that mirror the Nephite record, and how understanding geography deepens faith in the Restoration.

Whether you’ve followed Heartland or Meso theories, this model will challenge you to look again—with scripture in hand and the Spirit as your guide. Dive in and discover why this matters for the gathering of Zion today.
