Hello and welcome fellow travelers. I want to ask you something: Are there moments in recovery and moments in faith crisis when you feel like Moses? Feel like you want to collapse to the ground, emptied out, unsure if you are ever able to stand in God’s presence again? What if the distance you feel isn’t evidence of God abandoning you. Instead, it is where God is preparing you to see yourself the way he sees you?

Moses 1 and Abraham 3 reveal a pattern woven into every spiritual journey: God reveals Himself. We feel our weakness. The adversary attacks our identity. And then—God calls us back into His presence with deeper clarity and greater purpose.

This episode explores that pattern through the lens of recovery and reconstruction. We’ll look at why Moses collapses after divine glory, why Satan shows up when he does, and why Abraham is shown the stars, the intelligences, and the premortal council at the exact moment he needs reassurance.

These chapters aren’t ancient theology. They’re a roadmap for anyone who has ever relapsed, doubted, or wondered if God still knows their name.

I’m walking with you as someone who understands the terrain—someone who has lived the distance, the collapse, the confusion, and the return. These devotionals are crafted for Latter‑day Saints who love the Restoration but are wrestling with wounds, questions, or the long work of sobriety. Together, we’ll draw strength from scripture, clarity from doctrine, and hope from the God who knew you long before your struggles began.

You’re not trying to earn your way back to Him. You’re learning to recognize the God who has never stopped calling you.
