THE HOUR IS LATE

The watchmen have been crying out for years, their voices echoing from pulpits, prayer closets, and mountaintops. Since October 7, 2023, their shouts have only grown louder — not because they love drama, but because they know what’s coming. And they are right.

I am not a watchman, but I hear them loud and clear. By the grace of God, I woke up. I opened my Bible, and the Word confirmed what the watchmen have been warning: The HARPAZO is near. It could happen tonight.

This is not a drill. Time is short. The end of days, the Day of the Lord’s Wrath, is on the horizon. Before that wrath falls, Jesus will come for His Bride, rescuing her in the harpazo — the blessed hope. But for those left behind, the future will be unlike anything the world has ever endured. Like in the days of Noah, those outside the ark will be swept away by a flood — only this time, it will be the fire of the Great Tribulation.

Here in the Great Basin Region, we are in a rare position. Compared to the chaos and corruption of places like New York City, San Francisco, Chicago, and Washington D.C., this land is a relatively Safe Zone. The end-time prophecies of Scripture — and the warnings of the faithful — point to regions that will face unimaginable destruction. And yet, safety is not salvation.

When the Bridegroom comes, the only question that will matter is: Will He find you ready? Will He find you as one of the five wise virgins, lamp burning, oil in reserve, invested fully in the talents He’s given you? Or will you be living for comfort, wealth, religion, reputation — and discover too late that you’ve been left behind?

The call is urgent. We are seeking 17 people — called, chosen, and appointed by God — to help us launch and steward Abundant Life Family Care (ALFC). This isn’t a side project. This is about being found serving King Jesus when He returns. It is about building homes of refuge and discipleship that will stand as beacons of light now, and for those who will desperately need them when darkness covers the earth.

THE CALL THAT WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING

The Harpazo could happen tonight.

That is not a dramatic hook. It is not an empty threat. It is a present reality hanging over every beating heart, whether they believe it or not. In one unannounced moment, the skies will split, the trumpet will sound, and the dead in Christ will rise first. In the same breath of eternity, those who are alive and remain — those found IN CHRIST — will be caught up to meet Him in the air.

“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17

And in that moment… for the billions left behind… everything will change.

This blog post is a line in the sand. Once you cross it, you will never be able to say you didn’t know. Once you finish it, you will either run to Jesus in total surrender… or you will harden your heart, cling to your idols, and hate me for telling you the truth.

“Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming. But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.” Matthew 24:42–44

I am not writing to please you. In obedience, I am writing to rescue you. Blood will not be found on my hands.

“And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us; and we saw His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. John testified about Him and called out, saying, ‘This was He of whom I said, “He who is coming after me has proved to be my superior, because He existed before me.”’ For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace. For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.” John 1:14–17

A Kingdom Crisis Demands a Kingdom Response

Abundant Life Family Care is not simply another nonprofit, another cause, or another ministry. It is the spearpoint of a Heaven-born invasion into enemy-held territory — right here in the Great Basin Region. It is a Christ-centered, Web 3.0, DAO-governed network of Grace Homes that will welcome the widow, the orphan, the immigrant, the elderly, the disabled, and the discarded into living, breathing outposts of Eden.

We are not building a brand. We are raising an army of foot-washing servants — a remnant that will not bow to Babylon, will not cozy up to corrupt religion, and will not waste the final grains of sand left in Heaven’s hourglass.

“Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good, acceptable, and perfect.” Romans 12:1–2

The Comfortable Will Not Come

This is not a call for the rich young ruler who walks away sorrowful, clinging to possessions and prestige. This is not a call for the cultural Christian who attends church for networking benefits and warm fuzzies. Jesus is not your life coach; He’s the King of all Kings.

This is a call for twelve men — and for five more to join them in executive leadership — ambassadors for Christ–who will throw comfort, reputation, and worldly security into the fire, and walk away from the ashes carrying nothing but the cross of Christ.

We are looking for those who can hear the Father’s whisper in the midst of the Great Basin’s religious noise. We are looking for those who will trade their status for servanthood, their pride for humility, their self-life for the life of Christ.

We are looking for those who will turn the world upside down — not with slogans and politics, but with truth and love so pure that it makes Babylon tremble.

“Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the violation committed by Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. But the gracious gift is not like the offense. For if by the offense of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many.” Romans 5:14–15

This is the call that will change everything — for those willing to answer it. Because once you put your hand to this plow, there is no looking back. The world behind you, the cross before you. The Harpazo ahead. And the King’s voice calling:

“Who will go for Us? Whom shall I send?”

And the only answer a true disciple can give:

“Here am I. Send me.”

THE MORMON CONTRAST – JESUS VS. JOSEPH SMITH

There is no gentle way to say this: Jesus of Nazareth and Joseph Smith, founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, are polar opposites in life, mission, teaching, and truth.

“For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.” 2 Corinthians 11:13–15

The only thing they share is humanity. Beyond that, every fiber of their purpose, every word they taught, and every action they took stands in eternal opposition to one another. Everyone can read what Joseph taught and believed, and then compare Joseph to Jesus, considering the Bible as the Word of God. There is no comparison. The only conclusion one can come to is that they were polar opposites. According to the Bible, Jesus is the Son of God, and according to Joseph Smith, Joseph is the brother of Lucifer. This is not in dispute.

“But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!” Galatians 1:8–9

The Jesus of the Bible

Jesus was born in Bethlehem, raised in Nazareth, spent a few years in Egypt, and lived 33½ years on earth. He had no wealth, no political seat, no armies, and no business empire. Jesus spent His ministry healing the sick, raising the dead, forgiving sinners, and proclaiming the Kingdom of God.

He washed the feet of His followers.
He rebuked religious hypocrisy.
He refused to manipulate, coerce, or control.

And in the end, Jesus drank the cup of Wrath and willingly laid down His life, not for His friends only, but for His enemies. At the time, before the resurrection, we were all enemies of Christ.

“And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us; and we saw His glory… full of grace and truth.” John 1:14

The Joseph Smith of Mormonism

Joseph Smith’s record is one of manipulation, control, and self-exaltation. He claimed divine authority to correct and replace the Bible, calling it corrupt. He introduced new scripture — the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price — that openly oppose the teaching and supremacy of Jesus Christ as presented in the Word of God.

Joseph lived as a polygamist, taking wives (including other men’s wives and underage girls). He consolidated political, military, and religious power. Joseph Smith lied to his followers about his marriages and doctrines, all while teaching that men could one day become gods equal with Jesus and Lucifer — a theology ripped straight from the mouth of the serpent in Eden: “You will be like God.” You can’t make this stuff up, but Joseph did.

A Direct Opposition

If you lay their lives side by side, the contrast is violent:

Jesus: Denied Himself and emptied Himself of power to serve. Lived in total transparency and sinlessness. Willingly died a martyr for truth and love. Was worshiped by His disciples as the eternal Son of God. Left no material empire, only disciples.

Joseph Smith: Accumulated power, titles, wealth, and wives. Lied repeatedly to followers and public. Died in a gunfight with a mob of his own countrymen. Taught his followers they could become gods themselves. Built a religious corporation that continues to amass billions.

Joseph: The Same Spirit as Lucifer

The merchandising, self-promotion, and lust for control that marked Joseph Smith’s life mirror the nature of Lucifer described in Scripture:

“Your heart was haughty because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor. I threw you to the ground…” Ezekiel 28:17

Lucifer in Heaven controlled trade, demanded recognition, and sought to elevate himself above God. Joseph Smith built a religious system that elevated himself above the Word of God, demanded allegiance to himself as a “prophet,” and promised godhood to those who followed his system.

The Modern Mormon Church

The corruption didn’t end with Joseph Smith. Today’s LDS leadership — the Prophet, the Presidency, and the 12 Apostles — live in material luxury while preaching perfectionism to the rank-and-file members.

Sexual abuse, financial fraud, and secrecy are not ancient stains on Mormon history — according to insiders and whistleblowers, they are ongoing realities, covered up with PR spin and the suppression of dissent.

Challenge the Prophet, and you are cut off.
Question the doctrine, and you are marked.

Why This Matters Now

We are living in the final moments before the Harpazo. The Mormon people are sincere, hardworking, and devoted — but they are sincerely devoted to a system that cannot save them. They need truth before it is too late.

When the Bridegroom comes, there will be no time to reconsider. The door will shut. The wise virgins will go in, and the foolish — no matter how religious — will be left outside.

“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, this person is a new creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.” 2 Corinthians 5:17

The choice is stark: Follow the Jesus of the Bible, who is the way, the truth, and the life…or follow Joseph Smith’s counterfeit gospel, which leads to eternal separation from God.

There is no third option.

TWELVE ORDINARY MEN – THEN AND NOW

Two thousand years ago, the Son of God walked along the shores of Galilee. He didn’t go to the rabbinical schools to find His men. He didn’t approach the political leaders, the rich merchants, or the cultural influencers.
Jesus called fishermen, tax collectors, and zealots.

Men with calloused hands, uncertain futures, and messy pasts.
Men who were, by every human measure, ordinary.

“And He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.” Matthew 4:19–20

And with twelve ordinary men, Jesus Christ turned the world upside down.

“And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son… and these whom He justified, He also glorified.” Romans 8:28–30

The Cost They Paid

Those twelve — minus the one who betrayed Him — followed Jesus to the very end. Every one of them left behind their boats, their businesses, their homes, and their reputations. They walked away from comfort into persecution, from safety into danger, from obscurity into history.

“So then, none of you can be My disciple who does not give up all his own possessions.” Luke 14:33

And with the exception of John, every one of them died a martyr.
Not for an ideology.
Not for a movement.
For a Man. For our Savior. For their King.

The Twelve We Need Now

The Great Basin Region doesn’t need another conference, another podcast, or another celebrity preacher. It needs twelve ordinary men — and five more to lead alongside them — who will burn their plows, smash their idols, and put their hand to a plow they will never let go of.

Twelve who will say:

“I will open my home as a Grace Home.”

“I will disciple the broken, the forgotten, and the abused.”

“I will live as a foot-washing servant, regardless of recognition or reward.”

“I will speak truth in the shadow of Babylon, even if it costs me everything.”

A Vision Measured in Souls, Not Dollars

Imagine a thousand Grace Homes across the Great Basin Region — homes that are not just shelters, but sanctuaries. Every one of them stewarded by believers trained, tested, and rooted in the Gospel of Grace.

These homes will be more than safe houses. They will be outposts of Eden, where the widow finds family, the orphan finds a father, and the prodigal finds the Father.

That’s the vision. And it begins with twelve.

“After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.” 1 Peter 5:10

The Time Is Now

If the Harpazo happened tonight, would you regret what you were doing when the trumpet sounded? Would you be found faithful, or found busy building your own kingdom?

The call to be one of these twelve is not glamorous. It’s not safe. It’s not easy.
But it is eternal. When you lay down your life for the King, you don’t lose it — you find it.

This is the turning point. From here on, we’re moving toward confronting the dead church and the carnal pulpit that have made this kind of radical discipleship the exception instead of the norm.

THE DEAD CHURCH AND THE CARNAL PULPIT

The Great Basin Region is not just home to the most organized and deceptive religious system in America — it is also littered with pulpits that bear the name of Jesus but are empty of His power.

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.” 2 Timothy 4:3–4

These churches have buildings.
They have budgets.
They have branding.
They have “vision statements” that would make any corporate strategist proud.

“This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far away from Me. But in vain do they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.” Matthew 15:8–9

But they do not have the presence of God.

Pastors as Life Coaches

In city after city, I’ve watched pastors trade their shepherd’s staff for a microphone and a TED Talk outline. They’ve become “life coaches” instead of watchmen. Instead of warning the sheep about the wolf, they give the wolf a motivational seminar.

They quote authors more than they quote Scripture. They avoid teaching the hard truths of Jesus for fear of offending the giving base. And they wouldn’t touch the subject of the Harpazo if their life depended on it — which, in a very real sense, it does.

“I know your deeds, that you have a name that you are alive, and yet you are dead. Be constantly alert, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I have not found your deeds completed in the sight of My God. So remember what you have received and heard; and keep it, and repent. Then if you are not alert, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come to you.” Revelation 3:1–3

Amillennialism’s Chokehold

Most of Utah’s non-LDS churches are amillennialist — they deny the literal reign of Christ on earth, dismiss the prophetic timeline of Scripture, and live as though the Harpazo is either symbolic or irrelevant.

This theological poison removes the urgency of preparation. If you believe the King is not coming soon, you will not live ready. If you think the Kingdom is only “spiritual,” you will ignore the coming judgment on the physical earth.

Carnality and Comfort

In Utah’s non-LDS churches, carnality and materialism are often preached as signs of blessing. If you have wealth, you must have God’s favor. If you have influence, you must be walking in His will.

This is Babylon dressed in Sunday clothes.
Jesus said, “Deny yourself, pick up your cross, and follow Me.”
He never said, “Pursue comfort, accumulate wealth, and call it blessing.”

The Cost of Silence

Here’s the brutal truth: If the pulpits in the Great Basin Region were aflame with truth, the LDS Church would not have free rein to deceive millions. If the pastors here were making disciples who could refute false gospels, the Mormon stronghold would already be crumbling.

But instead, the pulpits have gone silent on anything that might cause conflict. They have become safe spaces for compromise, not battle stations for truth.

Why This Matters to the Twelve

If you step forward to be one of the twelve ALFC Ambassadors, you are not just resisting the LDS system — you are resisting the carnal church system as well. You will be a walking contradiction to the “safe, comfortable Christianity” that dominates this region.

Your life will be the sermon they refuse to preach.
Your home will be the altar they will not build.
Your obedience will expose their compromise.

BABYLON’S BLUEPRINT – LUCIFER’S MERCHANDISING SPIRIT

Before there was a Mormon prophet, before there were megachurch CEOs, before there was even a Temple in Jerusalem, there was a cherub named Lucifer.

“How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, you who have weakened the nations! But you said in your heart, “I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, and I will sit on the mount of assembly in the recesses of the north. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.” Isaiah 14:12–14

He was beautiful.
He was powerful. He merchandised and traded.
He was entrusted with influence and responsibility in the courts of Heaven.

And it wasn’t enough.

The Original Trade War

Ezekiel describes Lucifer as being “in Eden, the garden of God,” adorned with every precious stone, walking in the midst of the fiery stones. But in the midst of perfection, a poison was growing. Imagine an ultra-wealthy, influential “trader” business guru leader like Vladimir Putin. In Lucifer’s case, according to Scripture, it all went to his head, kind of like Joseph Smith, and Putin.

“By the abundance of your trade you were internally filled with violence, and you sinned; therefore I have cast you as profane from the mountain of God.” Ezekiel 28:16

According to Scripture, Lucifer’s sin was not just pride — it was merchandising. He began to traffic influence, to set himself up as the gatekeeper. Everything had to go through him. He became the middleman in Heaven’s economy, controlling access, distribution, honor, and recognition. Don’t dare challenge him or make him mad–he will cut you off, or make you pay. Sound familiar?

From Heaven to Babylon

When he was cast out of Heaven, Lucifer didn’t abandon this strategy — he perfected it on earth. Do you have ears to hear and eyes to see what the Spirit of God is saying?

“And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargoes any more—cargoes of gold and silver and precious stones and pearls… and slaves and human lives.” Revelation 18:11–13

We see it in:

Nimrod and Babel — consolidating humanity under one defiant system.

Pharaoh of Egypt — enslaving God’s people while enriching himself.

Nebuchadnezzar’s Babylon — demanding worship under penalty of death.

The Temple moneychangers — turning worship into commerce until Jesus overturned their tables.

The pattern is always the same: Control the flow of goods, truth, and access — and you control the people.

The LDS Church: Babylon in Utah

The LDS system is a textbook application of Lucifer’s blueprint.

It controls:

Merchandising — billions in real estate, banking, and corporate holdings.

Doctrine — a monopoly on interpretation and authority.

Access to God — temple worthiness interviews, tithing requirements, and priesthood hierarchies.

Lucifer, Joseph Smith, Biden, Putin…. Like ancient Babylon, satan enslaves through religious obligation while enriching the ruling class. The “prophet” sits in the role of gatekeeper, much like Lucifer in Heaven’s courts before his fall.

The Carnal Church: Babylon in the Pulpit

The merchandising spirit is not limited to the LDS religion. In the carnal evangelical world, it looks like:

Sermon series designed to sell books and conference tickets.

Pastors functioning more like brand managers than shepherds.

Church budgets that prioritize expansion projects over feeding the poor.

It’s the same Luciferian spirit — just wearing different robes.

Why the Twelve Must See This

If you are called to be one of the twelve ALFC Ambassadors, you must understand:

You are not stepping into a neutral world. You are walking into a battlefield where Babylon has entrenched itself deep into both the cult and the counterfeit church.

Your very existence as a transparent, accountable, radically generous, Christ-centered leader will be an act of war against the merchandising spirit. Your Grace Home will be a breach in the wall of Babylon’s marketplace.

“Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a dwelling place of demons… For all the nations have fallen because of the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed acts of sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich from the excessive wealth of her luxury.” Revelation 18:2–3

THE STEP-FORD MASK – MORMON PERFECTION CULTURE

Walk into almost any Mormon neighborhood in Utah, and you’ll notice the same thing.

The lawns are manicured.
The homes are immaculate.
The people are well-dressed, well-spoken, and smiling.

It feels like Pleasantville.
It looks like the Stepford Wives.

And it’s killing people. Young, old, it does not matter. Utah has the highest suicide rates for young people, the highest consumption of porn, and the highest addiction rates. Data does not lie, Mr. Russell. All of this death, destruction, and mayhem has happened under your watch. Cheer up, Mr. Russell, you can always look at the church’s profit and loss statement!

“But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known. Accordingly, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed upon the housetops.” Luke 12:2–3

The Culture of Appearance

In LDS culture, the image is everything. It is not about actually being righteous — it is about looking righteous. It is not about actually being without sin — it is about hiding your sin so no one can see it.

Why? Because exposure costs everything:

Your temple recommend.

Your standing in the ward.

Your business connections.

Your family’s reputation.

So sin is not confessed — it is buried.
Addiction is not addressed — it is hidden.
Doubt is not expressed — it is suppressed.

“He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will find compassion.” Proverbs 28:13

The Hidden Rot

When the standard is perfection, and failure is unthinkable, the result is predictable:

Pornography addiction rates that rival or surpass national averages.

Prescription drug abuse as a silent coping mechanism.

Suicide rates that lead the nation, especially among youth.

Domestic abuse cloaked in religious language and secrecy.

This is not the fruit of the Spirit.
This is the fruit of fear, shame, and legalism.

“See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ. For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form.” Colossians 2:8–9

Religion as a Business Club

In Utah, the Mormon Church is more than a religion — it’s a business network. Membership “in good standing” opens doors. Non-membership closes them.

The result? Faith becomes transactional. Compliance is rewarded. Noncompliance is punished.

It’s not about truth — it’s about maintaining the illusion.

“Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also.” 1 John 2:22–23

The Stepford Mask in Light of Scripture

Jesus had a name for this:

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. So you too, outwardly appear righteous to people, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.” Matthew 23:27–28

This is exactly what the Stepford mask produces:

The outside is flawless, the inside is decaying.
The surface is polished, the soul is dying.

“The Stepford Saints” – A Hollywood Parallel You Can’t Unsee

If you’ve ever lived in Utah for more than three months, you’ve probably had this feeling:

You step into a grocery store in Provo or Bountiful, and everyone looks… perfect.

Too perfect. Like Stepford Wives perfect.

For those who don’t know, The Stepford Wives (both the eerie 1975 version and the quirkier 2004 remake) is about a town where the wives are impossibly beautiful, relentlessly polite, and incapable of breaking a sweat. Spoiler alert: it’s because they’ve been replaced (or reprogrammed) into robotic versions of themselves — all in the name of a flawless image.

Now, replace the movie’s idyllic Connecticut suburb with suburban Utah. Swap the pastel dresses for Sunday best, and the pearls for a CTR ring. Voilà — The Stepford Saints.

1. The Smile Programming

In Stepford: Every wife smiles like she’s just stepped out of a baking commercial.

In Utah Mormon culture: Every ward greeter smiles like they’ve just seen Jesus — even if their teenager just wrecked the minivan in the church parking lot. It’s the same “everything is fine” smile, custom-installed to hide everything is NOT fine.

2. The Wardrobe Protocol

In Stepford: Dresses are ironed, hair is perfect, and no one ever shows up in sweatpants.

In Utah Mormon culture: Dresses are ironed, hair is perfect, and no one ever shows up to Relief Society in last night’s leggings — even if they were up all night with a screaming toddler. Wrinkles are for linen napkins, not people.

3. The Sin Disappearance Act

In Stepford: If someone breaks the perfect-wife code, she gets… “replaced.”

In Utah Mormon culture: If someone breaks the perfect-saint image, the sin doesn’t get replaced — it gets hidden faster than you can say “ward gossip.” Stepford swaps people; Utah just swaps the subject.

4. The Perfection Production Schedule

In Stepford: Baking, cleaning, and crafting at a level that would shame Martha Stewart.

In Utah Mormon culture: Pinterest-level Valentine’s handouts for your kid’s Primary class, “just because.” If you don’t have the time, don’t worry — Relief Society will train you in the ways of industrial-grade cutesy.

5. The Scripted Conversation

In Stepford: Every conversation is pleasant, shallow, and completely safe.

In Utah Mormon culture: Every ward foyer conversation is pleasant, shallow, and completely safe. No politics. No doctrine debates. And for heaven’s sake, no mention of actual struggles. In both worlds, you could swap the dialogue scripts and no one would notice.

The Uncomfortable Truth

The humor writes itself, but the point runs deep: In Stepford Wives, the perfection was fake — a mask to hide control and conformity. In much of Utah Mormon culture, the perfection is also fake — a mask to hide brokenness, sin, and the crushing pressure to appear flawless.

In Stepford, you either became part of the system… or you didn’t last long. In Utah, it’s much the same. You either perfect the mask… or you risk losing your place in the ward, your social standing, even your family relationships.

And just like in the movies, it’s only the brave — the ones who ask dangerous questions and refuse to live a lie — who ever get out.

Why the Twelve Must Care

If you are one of the twelve ALFC Ambassadors, you will have to walk straight into this Stepford culture. You will have to offer something the LDS system cannot:

A safe place to confess.

A safe place to be broken.

A safe place to receive healing that is not tied to performance.

Your Grace Home will be more than a refuge from abuse — it will be a refuge from the tyranny of appearances.

Why Now? What's at Stake?

Some may wonder why, in calling people out of Babylon — out of religious deception and high-performance “holiness” — I’m also calling for the recruitment of 12 Ambassadors and 5 Executives to launch and steward Abundant Life Family Care (ALFC).

Here’s the truth: ALFC is rising up, in part, to rescue Mormons from Mormonism — and not just from theological error, but from the real, ongoing, systemic abuse that has been covered up for decades inside LDS homes. This is not hearsay. This is not rumor. This is documented by former members, whistleblowers, and even lawsuits. The LDS Church has proven, time and again, that it will protect its reputation over protecting its children.

For that reason, ALFC will never — under any circumstance — license a Mormon family as a Grace Home. We are designing ALFC specifically to provide safe, Christ-centered, abuse-free environments for children, teens, and families coming out of unsafe, manipulative, and controlling systems. Asking a Mormon family to host one of our placements would be like asking a rapist to lead a rape survivor’s support group. It would not only be unthinkable — it would be a betrayal of the very people we are called to protect.

ALFC is not just another foster care agency. It is a Kingdom safe zone. Every Grace Home will be a place of discipleship, transparency, and radical love — led by believers who understand that true healing is only found in Jesus Christ, not in religious performance, institutional loyalty, or doctrinal control.

This is why the 12 Ambassadors we’re recruiting are so critical. They will not only steward the launch of Grace Homes but will also stand as public defenders of the vision — ensuring that ALFC never compromises, never licenses the unqualified, and never bends to cultural or religious pressure. Alongside them, the 3 CEOs, Executive Director, and Operations Director will guard the mission from the inside, keeping it anchored in both legal integrity and Kingdom authority.

We are not simply building a system — we are building a refuge for the abused, the disillusioned, and the deceived. And we will not hand the keys of that refuge to the very system that created the harm.

ANANIAS, SAPPHIRA, AND THE MONEYCHANGER MOMENT

God does not play games with religious hypocrisy. When it contaminates His house, when it manipulates His people, when it twists what is holy into a tool for profit — He moves with terrifying clarity.

“For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?” 1 Peter 4:17

The Lesson of Ananias and Sapphira

In Acts 5, a husband and wife named Ananias and Sapphira sold a piece of property. They told the church they were giving the full proceeds, but secretly kept part back for themselves. It wasn’t the keeping that condemned them — it was the lie. They pretended full devotion while hiding divided hearts.

 “You have not lied to men, but to God.” Acts 5:4

And they both dropped dead.

It was swift. It was public. It was unforgettable.

The Moneychangers in the Temple

Jesus faced another moment of holy confrontation in the Temple. Merchants were selling animals for sacrifice at inflated prices. Moneychangers were exploiting currency exchange to gouge worshipers who came to honor God.

Twice in His ministry, Jesus drove them out — flipping tables, scattering coins, and declaring:

“My house will be called a house of prayer; but you are making it a den of robbers.” Matthew 21:13

It was bold. It was violent. It was righteous.

The Modern Parallel

Today, we see the same sins wearing different clothes:

LDS leaders teaching tithing as a requirement for temple access, while secretly managing a multi-billion-dollar investment fund.

Mega-church pastors living in mansions, traveling first class, and selling “blessing packages” to fund their lifestyles.

Entire church networks functioning as marketing arms for their own products instead of embassies of the Kingdom.

They may not be selling doves in the courtyard, but they are selling access to God — and it is the same blasphemy.

Why God’s Judgment Will Come

God’s nature hasn’t changed. The same God who struck down Ananias and Sapphira will hold today’s religious profiteers accountable. The same Jesus who overturned the tables will overturn the systems built on greed, fear, and manipulation.

Judgment will start in the house of God. (1 Peter 4:17)

And when it comes, it will be swift, public, and unforgettable.

Why the Twelve Must Be Different

If you are one of the twelve ALFC Ambassadors, you must walk in the opposite spirit:

Absolute transparency in finances.

Radical generosity as a lifestyle.

Refusal to profit personally from the needs of others.

Your Grace Home must be a place where no one is manipulated, no one is coerced, and no one is required to “pay for access” to God’s love.

In a world of moneychangers, you must be the open table.

THE MODERN MORMON MEMBER

When you strip away the PR campaigns, the missionary smiles, and the picture-perfect neighborhoods, the life of the average Mormon member is not peaceful. It is a treadmill — one that never stops and never leads to rest.

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being My priest. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.” Hosea 4:6

The Ladder to Godhood

In the LDS system, salvation is not about knowing Jesus as Lord and Savior. It’s about climbing the ladder of worthiness:

Tithe faithfully — 10% of gross income, no exceptions.

Obey the living prophet — without question or challenge.

Live perfectly — sinlessness is the unspoken standard.

If you succeed in these, you might, one day, become a god yourself — ruling over your own planet, creating spirit children, just as they claim Heavenly Father once did.

This is not the Gospel. It is a reincarnation of the serpent’s lie in Eden: “You will be like God.” Genesis 3:5

“For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge. For not knowing about God’s righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.” Romans 10:2–4

The Worship of the Prophet

For the average Mormon, the highest authority is not Jesus Christ — it is the current Prophet in Salt Lake City.

What he says goes.
If he changes doctrine, the doctrine changes.
If he speaks, it is as though God Himself has spoken.

To challenge him is unthinkable. Don’t believe me, try it!
To disobey him is dangerous — socially, relationally, and spiritually within the LDS system.

The Unbearable Weight

Living under this system means:

Constantly questioning if you’ve done enough.

Hiding any struggle, sin, or doubt for fear of losing your standing.

Living with the gnawing fear that you’ll never be “temple-worthy.”

And here’s the tragedy — even in their best moments, even in their most “worthy” seasons, the average Mormon member has no assurance of salvation. They are taught that eternal life is not a gift of grace but a prize for perfection.

“For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” Ephesians 2:8–9

Why This Matters to ALFC

If you are one of the twelve ALFC Ambassadors, you will meet LDS neighbors, co-workers, and friends who are exhausted under this burden.

They are sincere.
They are disciplined.
They are doing their best.

But they are trapped in a system that can never save them.

Your Grace Home can be a place where they hear — maybe for the first time — that they don’t have to climb a ladder to reach God… because God came down to them.

You will not win them with arguments. You will win them with love, transparency, hospitality, and the steady presence of Jesus in your life and home.

THE CALL FOR SEPARATION AND SURRENDER

Every generation of believers faces a moment when the lines are drawn and neutrality is no longer possible. For the people of Israel in the days of Elijah, it was the question:

“How long will you hesitate between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.” 1 Kings 18:21

For the people of God in the end times, that moment is now.

“If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple. Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.” Luke 14:26–27

Come Out of Babylon

The Bible is not vague or silent on this point, just the opposite:

“Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive any of her plagues.” Revelation 18:4

Babylon is not just a city — it’s a spiritual system. It’s every political, religious, and economic network that seeks to replace God’s authority with man’s control. It’s the LDS Church.

“Therefore, come out from their midst and be separate,” says the Lord. “And do not touch what is unclean; and I will welcome you. And I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to Me,” says the Lord Almighty.” 2 Corinthians 6:17–18

It’s the carnal, entertainment-driven pulpit.
It’s every structure that uses God’s name but denies His power.

Remaining inside Babylon is not an act of love.
It’s a death sentence.

The High Cost of Silence

If you know the truth and refuse to act on it, you’re not just avoiding conflict — you are agreeing with the lie. Ezekiel 33 is clear: if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, the blood of the people is on his hands.

This is not about “judging” or “attacking” people.
It’s about rescuing them before the wrath of God falls.
And make no mistake — it will.

Surrender is Not Optional

The call to follow Jesus is a call to die:

Die to self.

Die to comfort.

Die to the approval of men.

It is also a call to live:

Live in His grace.

Live in His power.

Live for His glory.

You cannot have both.

You cannot serve Jesus and Babylon.

You cannot keep one foot in the LDS ward or the carnal church while claiming to belong to the Bride.

For the Twelve

If you are called to be one of the twelve ALFC Ambassadors, separation and surrender are your starting line. You cannot disciple others out of bondage if you are still chained yourself. You cannot call people out of Babylon if you are still doing business in her markets.

Your “yes” to this call is your “no” to every competing kingdom.

THE VISION FOR ALFC – A KINGDOM RESPONSE

It’s not enough to expose Babylon.
We must also build the alternative–RADICAL GENEROSITY.

“And all those who had believed were together and had all things in common; and they began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need.” Acts 2:44–45

God never calls His people to leave something without calling them into something better.
When He called Israel out of Egypt, He was leading them into the Promised Land.
When Jesus called His disciples away from their nets, He was making them fishers of men.
And when Revelation calls the Bride to come out of Babylon, it is because the New Jerusalem is coming.

In the Great Basin Region, that alternative — that Kingdom response — is Abundant Life Family Care (ALFC).

What is ALFC?

ALFC is the world’s first Christ-centered DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) built to recruit, train, license, and support Grace Homes across Utah and the surrounding region.

Grace Homes are not just foster care placements. They are outposts of Eden — private, licensed, Spirit-led homes that disciple the people God places in them. They are backed by Grace Spaces: local hubs providing training, wraparound services, and leadership support.

“And let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.” Hebrews 10:24–25

Why a DAO?

Because the same spirit of control that corrupts religion also corrupts centralized charities.

A DAO ensures:

Transparency — every transaction is visible.

Accountability — no backroom deals, no hidden books.

Participation — every Ambassador has a voice in governance.

This is the exact opposite of the LDS hierarchy or the corporate megachurch boardroom.

It’s the Acts 2 model — Spirit-led, open-handed, and radically generous.

“Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.” James 1:27

The Goal

By the end of 2025: 100 Grace Homes in the Great Basin Region.

By the end of 2026: 1,000 Grace Homes serving widows, orphans, immigrants, disabled, and the elderly.

By 2033: 1 billion Grace Homes worldwide as the Bride prepares for the return of the King.

The Twelve Ambassadors

To launch this, we need twelve men — ordinary, surrendered, Spirit-filled — who will:

Open their homes.

Open their hands.

Open their lives.

They will be joined by five additional leaders:

Three CEOs to oversee the DAO’s key divisions.

An Executive Director to manage operations.

An Operations Director to ensure the mission runs on Kingdom efficiency.

Together, these 17 will be the human scaffolding for a move of God that will shake the Great Basin Region.

“Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.” Matthew 9:37–38

FINAL APPEAL – WILL YOU BE ONE OF THE TWELVE?

We’ve talked about the darkness of Babylon.
We’ve exposed the deception of the LDS system.
We’ve confronted the carnality in the modern pulpit.
We’ve unmasked the merchandising spirit, the Stepford mask, and the counterfeit gospels.

And we’ve laid before you a vision — a Kingdom alternative that will require your whole life.

Now we are at the line in the sand.

“Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to reward each one as his work deserves.” Revelation 22:12

The Two Roads

From here, you have two choices.

Remain in Babylon — stay in the comfort of a compromised system, keep your reputation intact, and ignore the sound of the trumpet until it’s too late.

Come Out and Follow the King — deny yourself, pick up your cross, and join the small band of surrendered disciples who will turn the Great Basin Region upside down in His name.

There is no neutral ground.

The Eternal Stakes

The Harpazo could happen tonight. If it does, the true Bride will be taken, and those left behind will face the most brutal period in human history — the wrath of God poured out on an unrepentant world.

When that moment comes, your wealth won’t save you. Your religion won’t save you.

Your “good works” won’t save you.

Only Jesus will.

What We’re Asking

We are not asking you to sign up for a comfortable board position. We are asking you to give your life.

We are asking you to:

Live in radical obedience to King Jesus.

Open your home as a Grace Home or help lead those who will.

Stand in the gap for the widow, the orphan, the immigrant, the abused, and the discarded.

Be willing to be misunderstood, resisted, and even hated for the sake of the truth.

“But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:15

Will You Answer?

We need twelve ordinary men — and five additional leaders — who will say “yes” to this call. If God is stirring your heart right now, that is not emotion — that is invitation.

Do not harden your heart.
Do not wait for a “better time.”
The time is now.

The King is coming.
Babylon is falling.
The trumpet is about to sound.

Will you be one of the twelve?

THE DECISION IS NOW

The hour is late, and the fields are white for harvest. In the Great Basin Region, God is giving us a narrow window to prepare — not for political victories, not for building our own empires, but for the imminent return of the King.

The watchmen have done their job. The trumpet has sounded. Now the decision falls to you.

You can remain in the comfort of Babylon, clinging to a false sense of security in your religion, your traditions, your politics, your wealth. Or you can step out in faith, deny yourself, take up your cross, and join a Kingdom assignment that will echo in eternity.

Seventeen leaders — the first wave of a movement that will see 100 Grace Homes planted in the Great Basin by the end of 2025, 1,000 by the end of 2026, and 1 billion worldwide by 2033. Each Grace Home will be more than a shelter; it will be a disciple-making outpost of Eden, a safe haven in a storm, a place where the hurting encounter the living Christ.

You have been given time, talent, and treasure — not to bury in the ground, but to invest in the Master’s work.

When He returns, will He find you watching? Will He find you working? Will He say, “Well done, good and faithful servant”?

This is your moment. Your lamp is in your hand. The oil is within your reach.
The King is coming. The Bride must be ready.

Will you be one of the seventeen?
