In this Zion Media episode, Shane Baldwin is joined by Jordan Bales and Dale Porter for an early-morning scripture study centered on Zion, the Lord’s Strange Act, and what it means to be called and chosen in the last days. Drawing deeply from the Doctrine and Covenants, the Book of Mormon, Isaiah, and Restoration scripture, the discussion explores why chastening, rebuke, and awakening are essential steps in preparing a Zion people.

The conversation examines the difference between knowing about God and truly knowing Him, why many Saints feel a spiritual urgency right now, and how the Lord’s Strange Act is designed to move His people from the peak of the pride cycle into a consecrated Zion society. The group also addresses priesthood power, premortal calling, personal revelation, and the responsibility of the people—not just leaders in redeeming Zion.

Key Themes Covered:
- Zion, gathering, and the urgency of the last days
- The Lord’s Strange Act and the pride-to-Zion pattern
- Being called vs. choosing to be chosen
- Knowing God through the Holy Ghost, not tradition alone
- Chastening, rebuke, and walking in power from on hig
- Priesthood power, premortal ordination, and personal responsibility
- Solemn assemblies, consecration, and preparing a Zion people


This episode is for Latter-day Saints who feel an awakening stirring, sense that the Restoration is still unfolding, and desire to move beyond surface-level faith into covenant power, consecration, and Zion living. It is both a warning and an invitation—to awaken, arise, and prepare as Zion begins to rise.
