Many people begin the New Year by setting goals or picking a word. All of these are fun ways to find purpose in the upcoming year. In this episode, we look at another way of approaching the year. This way invites the Lord into our Year.

Have you ever not accomplished your New Year's Resolution? If not, maybe it's time to try following the patterns laid out for us in the temple. The Lord teaches us how to set and create goals in our lives. We are creators. We are meant to create in our lives.

In this episode the host shares a personal story of childhood neglect and how a simple red tablecloth came to symbolize love and safety. They explore the purpose of Zion as a spiritual and physical refuge in the last days, explain why God allows purification, and introduce future episodes focused on practical gospel tools to purify the heart and build Zion, one heart and one mind at a time.

Host Ashley Parker reveals a surprising shift: Christ is waiting for us to build Zion before His return, and Zion must begin in our hearts. She explores Enoch’s example, modern revelations, and Church history to show that Zion is both a people and a place and that spiritual preparation matters first.

Ashley shares her personal journey learning to hear God, committing to spiritual growth, and encouraging listeners to align their hearts and minds with God so communities can become places of refuge and welcome for the Savior.
