Discover how a Native American couple’s restoration of a 600 BC Phoenician ship may confirm Book of Mormon sea travel and gather hearts toward Zion.

What if you could see and touch a ship that may prove the Book of Mormon’s ocean journey was possible?

In this episode, we invite you into an inspiring conversation with Mike and Betty LaFontaine—Native American Saints restoring a 600 BC Phoenician vessel called The Phoenicia. Their mission bridges faith, history, and prophecy as they bring this ancient ship from the Mississippi River to Utah, where it can serve as living evidence of ancient sea travel and the gathering of Israel.

You’ll hear their remarkable story of sacrifice, miracles, and conviction—how they felt led by the Spirit to preserve this ship that once sailed from Carthage to the Americas, and how its design mirrors the ship Nephi may have built. Together we explore how the Phoenicia strengthens testimony of the Book of Mormon, connects Native lineage to the House of Israel, and reminds us that Zion begins in our homes, hearts, and communities.

If you’ve ever wondered how faith, archaeology, and covenant history converge in our day, this conversation will move you deeply. Watch now and be part of this unfolding story of gathering, restoration, and belief in the promised land of Zion.
