Building Zion: Identity and Community

In this episode of the Proclaim Peace Podcast, hosts Jennifer Thomas and Patrick Mason delve into the principles of building Zion, drawing insights from the small yet impactful book of Fourth Nephi in the Book of Mormon. They reflect on the profound message this scripture holds and the importance of creating a harmonious community among “ites.” The hosts discuss the necessity of building Zion in a way that resonates with their own cultural contexts. Join them as they welcome guest Ashley Fraser for a deeper exploration of these themes and how we can all contribute to building a peaceful and joyful community.
