A Marvelous Work and
a Wonder Is Unfolding

“I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder…”

Doctrine and Covenants 4:1

Our Mission

A United Team with a Shared Purpose

We are a united team of historians, authors, engineers, and producers united by a shared purpose: to help move forward the Lord's work in this dispensation. Through sacred study, inspired creation, and modern innovation, we are committed to honoring the life, mission, and prophetic calling of Joseph Smith Jr., the Prophet of the Restoration.

We testify that Joseph Smith Jr. was called of God, and that his mission did not end with his mortal life. There are still many things yet to come: truths to be revealed, hearts to be gathered, and souls to be lifted. We see ourselves as humble contributors to that ongoing work.

Our mission is to assist in the Lord's gathering of Israel, both physically and spiritually, through media, technology, storytelling, and inspired collaboration. Every project we build is designed to awaken, uplift, and invite others to see the Restoration through a deeper lens.

If you have found your way here, we believe it is not by coincidence.

We believe you were led here by the Spirit.

Featured Project

Hyperlink Bible

Inspired by the widely shared "Hyperlink Bible" concept, echoed by voices like Jordan Peterson and teachers around the world, this project takes that foundation further. Built through collaboration between faith-driven creators and skilled engineers, the Hyperlink Bible links verses, themes, historical context, and doctrinal insights so that scripture speaks across itself.

Integrated into the Scripture Notes platform by Oak Norton, founder of Scripture Tools. Our vision: help individuals see more, understand more, and feel more as they study the scriptures.
