06. Come Follow Me Feb 2- Feb 8, Moses 7. Building Zion Starts in our hearts.

Come, Follow Me Moms Moses 7 February 2–8 Theme: Building Zion Starts in Our Hearts and Homes Welcome to another week of Come, Follow Me Moms, your weekly Come, Follow Me podcast created just for busy moms who want to feel the Spirit, understand the scriptures, and bring Christ into their homes without overwhelm. This week we’re studying Moses 7, focusing on the prophet Enoch, and this time we’re only in the Pearl of Great Price. (No need to grab your Bible this week!) Grab your Pearl of Great Price, your headphones, and let’s dig into some powerful, hope-filled insights for moms. 🌿 Big Idea for the Week: What Is Zion? Yes! Zion was the name of a city. But more importantly: Zion is not just a city. It is a condition of the heart and spirit. The Lord teaches: Doctrine and Covenants 97:21 “Zion is the pure in heart.” That means: Zion is not perfection Zion is not a Pinterest home Zion is not quiet kids or perfect routines ✨ Zion is who we are becoming. 📖 What Happens in Moses 7? (Quick Overview) 1. Enoch Preaches Repentance (Moses 7:1–16) Enoch is called to preach to a very wicked people. At first, they reject him but many humble themselves, repent, and turn to God. We learn: Zion begins with repentance Hearts change before societies change 2. Zion Is Established (Moses 7:17–21) As the people repent, something remarkable happens: They become of one heart and one mind There is no contention, pride, or inequality There is deep unity and love Zion is not just a place… it’s a people. 3. Jesus Christ Is the King of Zion (Moses 7:53) Enoch sees Jesus Christ and learns that Christ is the King of Zion. This teaches us: Zion only works when Christ leads Unity flows from Christ-centered hearts 4. God Weeps for His Children (Moses 7:28–40) One of the most tender moments in all of scripture. Enoch sees God weeping over: Violence Wickedness Suffering Lost potential This reveals: God is not distant God feels with us God loves His children deeply 5. Enoch Weeps Too… but God Gives Hope (Moses 7:41–69) Enoch sees: The Flood Future wickedness The coming of Jesus Christ The Restoration The Second Coming Even in sorrow, God gives hope: Christ will come Redemption is real Zion will return God’s work will succeed 💛 Zion Is People (Friendship & Pregnancy Story) This week includes a personal story from a recent girls’ trip sharing how powerful it was to be surrounded by friends who were genuinely happy for each other. There was: No judgment No comparison No jealousy Just love, joy, and celebration This verse from Moses 7 describes it perfectly: Moses 7:18 “And the Lord called his people Zion, because they were of one heart and one mind…” One heart → no jealousy One mind → no comparison Dwelling in righteousness → choosing love and kindness ✨ That is Zion. And it is seriously the best feeling. 🚫 Stop the Comparison (Strong Mom Moment) As moms, it’s so easy to compare what we’re doing with what others are doing. So let’s say it clearly: STOP IT. Why? Comparison does not lead to happiness Judgment does not create peace Zion cannot exist where comparison lives We revisit Moses 7:18 and learn: You cannot be of one heart and one mind if you are constantly comparing yourself to other women. This section also references Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf and his powerful reminder from “The Merciful Obtain Mercy”: When it comes to judging others—STOP IT. Judgment divides. Mercy builds Zion. 👑 Jesus Christ Is the King of Zion (Moses 7:53) This verse invites an important question for moms: What does it mean to have Jesus Christ as your King? Does it: Change how you parent? Soften how you respond? Release some pressure? ✨ When Jesus is King, we don’t have to be. 😭 God Weeps (A Tender Truth for Moms) In Moses 7:28–30, we learn something sacred: God weeps. God sees: Our effort Our exhaustion Our heartbreak He weeps with us. This section includes a conference tie-in from Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, reminding us that God’s love is: Personal Emotional Near 🌅 Jesus Will Come Again… Are We Ready? (Moses 7:59–67) Jesus promises He will come again. So what does it look like to get ready as a mom? Open the scriptures The Bible or the Book of Mormon And just start ✨ You aren’t late. ✨ You are right on time. ✨ One verse a day is better than none. God loves effort. 👨‍👩‍👧 Teaching Zion to Our Kids A simple family activity shared in this episode: Sing “Follow the Prophet” (Enoch verse) Read Moses 7:18 Make a paper heart Cut it into pieces Hide it around the house Let the kids search for it Why? Zion is one heart, one mind, one purpose. 🏡 Building Zion Starts at Home Zion: Starts in hearts Grows in homes Is unity and shared purpose Is people If your home feels loud, messy, or far from Zion that’s okay. God is a God of progression. Every day we try. And when we fall, He picks us back up. 🤍 Final Thought: Zion Is People What would ...
