    What if building Zion isn't about sacrifice alone, but about offering your strengths to lift others? Sister Emily Utt examines how the Lord gathered Saints from all walks of life to Kirtland—uniting their education, talents, and willingness to consecrate—in order to help build a Zion community.

Great Podcast, very very high quality.

I can't oversell this, it's just superb, great guests every episode, consistently good insights, I've been listening to the whole catalogue and it's a great education so far. this is the first podcast I've ever listened to without driving or being busy with something else. it's a must listen for anyone LDS (or LDS curious)

So great to see something faith promoting
