Men's Congress and Zoom Prep Meeting

 I've been asked to post the following announcement:

One of the features of the upcoming Men's Retreat will be a "Men's Congress." 

At the Men's Congress, we will discuss three very important topics. The plan is to break into three groups after lunch, with each brother participating in the discussion related to the topic that most interests/concerns him. We have been intentionally minimalist when it comes to planning the Congress. We have identified three topics for discussion, and have appointed two Facilitators to each topic to assist the discussion in moving forward in a somewhat orderly fashion. Other than that, no goals have been defined, and no agenda has been set. The participants in each discussion will drive what it becomes. We imagine that some sort of writing may be created, or a statement of issues for further discussion, or even the beginnings of an additional conference or other activity to further address that particular topic. You can find the topics and a further description of the Congress on the Retreat website: 

www.mensretreat2026.com

Prior to the Retreat, we will host a Zoom gathering where our Facilitators will introduce the Topics, and begin to refine the discussion's direction, including what questions need to be asked and considered, and what possible outcomes might be available, etc. This Zoom will be held on

Sunday, AUGUST 16, 2026 8:00 PM Mountain (Utah) time.

A link will be provided on the retreat website for the zoom meeting.

We anticipate 60-80 minutes for the meeting. We understand that everyone is busy and has many obligations. However, we also feel it is important to be thinking about these topics prior to the actual event, rather than just walking into the conversation cold. We encourage all to attend.

Thank you!

Nehor Series Completed

The series of videos on Nehor has been finished. There are 13 videos in total. 

Here’s the link to the original post and the videos:

Also, I’ve created a playlist with the videos so if you start at the first, they should automatically play in order. They do build on one another and follow an ordered agenda, so watching (or listening to) them in order is the most beneficial way to proceed.

Announcement from the Patriarch

I was asked to post the following announcement: 

From the Patriarch to the Covenant Christian Movement

It is evident from Denver’s reaction to the vote that he hadn’t anticipated unanimous agreement from the attendant body at the conference, in the sustaining of Keith Henderson to be “Patriarch to the Covenant Christian Movement.” It is also evident that in such a sustaining, which required unanimity for the one being sustained, that if your vote had not been unanimous, I would not have been entitled to use such a title as you see at the beginning of this article. That is, however, not to say if the voting had not been unanimous, I wouldn’t still have the title and office of “Patriarch” with a right to give a blessing to those who seek it at my hand. After the request by our Lord to His servant naming myself to be a Patriarch, and the servant consequently anointing me as such, I became empowered with the right and authority to give Patriarchal Blessings to any of those who met the parameters established through His servant, and to have those blessings recognized and recorded on earth and in Heaven.

That having been said, I am under no illusions this was a vote accomplished by the popularity of myself. It was a vote acknowledging that our Lord, Jesus Christ, oversees this movement and is directing His affairs through His servant, Denver Snuffer. It is to the credit of those in attendance and elsewhere who may have voted in the affirmative, that they acknowledged this as the doings of Him, whom we all profess to serve. This didn’t pass by without notice in Heaven.

To tell you the truth this calling terrifies me and there is no way it ever came into my mind to ask for such a thing. I’m much more comfortable in my shop berating obstinate wood that will not conform itself willingly to my hammer and saw. But neither am I one to shrink. I will do my best, and count on the Lord to make up for my inadequacies.

Blessings

Blessings that I give will hopefully contain some or maybe at times, even all the following elements:  1. Instruction.  2. Advice.  3. Call to repent.  4. Prophecy.  5. Revelation.  6. Warning. From this you may ask, so how will these blessings differ from the one I already received from my Stake Patriarch? In truth, in content it may not. I’m not here to compete with anyone else’s blessing. In fact, consider this; My wife received a Patriarchal Blessing from her Stake Patriarch about 65 years ago that just astounds me in its instruction and advice and revelation and warning to her. We are far enough along in our lives to have seen much of it fulfilled. I’m astounded at the faith of the man that offered that blessing and by the faith of my wife in believing such things would happen to her. They did, and we yet have confidence that they will. Are we going to throw that blessing away and give her a new one? Absolutely not. I hope I can give that kind of blessing as I move forward. But now we live in a new dispensation of priesthood. Much could be added concerning the times we live in, and the Zion we are planning, and the blessings a real temple will bring to those who prepare themselves for it.

Maybe you don’t have one of those blessings like my wife’s. If you don’t like the one you got, seek another from your husband or your father or your grandfather. This is an era where hopefully every family will have a patriarch, empowered with righteousness and priesthood and desire, and he will bless his family continually. Record those blessings in your family archives and personal journals, and what you record will be recorded in Heaven. It will be sealed in Heaven.

Requirements to get a blessing from this Patriarch

1. You must be baptized in this dispensation of priesthood, and your baptism must have been recorded in the baptism book in the same year you were baptized.
2. If you don’t have a believing father or grandfather or husband who will give you such a blessing, then contact me if you desire one.
3. I will not give a Patriarchal Blessing to a married woman whose husband will not approve.
4. I will not give a Patriarchal Blessing to a married man whose wife will not approve.
5. Children of appropriate age beyond baptism should understand and have been taught about the blessing by those they trust, and if they have parents or other guardians, they must approve and attend the blessing.
6. Young adults of age and not living with parents or with parents who are not believers may contact me about a blessing.

Information about the April Conference

I’m still working on the Nehor series and anticipate several more videos will be required to cover all the material. I will continue posting them as they are ready.

Meanwhile, I’ve been asked by the conference organizers to post information about the “Culture by Precept and Practice” conference coming up in April. It will be held in St. George, Utah April 11-12. Click the link below to view full information at the conference website.

Desolation of Nehors

He also preached that all mankind would be saved on the last day, they didn’t need to be afraid or worry, but they could relax and be happy. He claimed that because the Lord had created and redeemed everyone, in the end, everyone would have eternal life. He successfully taught these things, and many believed what he said. 

—Alma 1:1 CoC

I'm creating a video series on the attributes, teachings and behaviors of Nehor and his followers. I will post installments here as I complete them. 

A Word of Thanks and an Invitation

 I was asked to post the following two items by Brian and Wendy Allred:

Item 1: A Word of Thanks 

This letter is an expression of thanks and encouragement to the Covenant Christian community. Many of us have suffered recently for various reasons, some bumps, bruises and growing pains. One of the intents of this letter is to refocus for a moment on one (10 out of 10) success story that has occurred without much notice.

As some of you are aware, Wendy Allred, my wife, suffered a brain aneurism 4+ years ago. If you are blessed with a long life you most likely have similar challenges to deal with. When the decision was made that she could come back to help and be with me, (As I am a selfish man) she then “received much strength from the Lord.”

She works hard each day to increase in strength and balance. She only sees the right, or that she only sees on the right side. With difficulty she diligently works each day to accomplish the tasks of life as before. She wishes to thank everyone for your various expressions of love and support.

The following is a necessary break down of why we asked for monetary assistance and the success that it demonstrates:

• A one-month vacation in Intensive Care clocks in at about 1.5 Million dollars.
• A one-month stay at a Rehab Hospital clocks in at 1/4 Million dollars. Thus the call for help was issued.

Over time our Cristian Health share group went to work and negotiated the 1.5 Million bill to 250K and the 250K bill to 100K and paid off these bills. (Brethren I should not need to say that, proper insurance is an expression of your duty to Provide and Protect your wife and family)

The remaining bills were mainly doctor bills. Doctors typically require you to make up any differences from the negotiated amount. That number came in at $35,000. The donations we received from family, friends, people we don't know and our extended Covenant Christian Family (including widows and single moms) came in at $35,000. 

In the coming day when the Accuser clams that the body of Covenant Christians did not honor their commitment to the covenant to pray for and bear one another's burdens, if allowed, I will shout from the back “NOT SO” “GO POUND SAND”—Maybe with an attitude, and then probably have cause for repentance.

So THANKS again for your love, support and your attempts to serve the Lord.

Brian and Wendy Allred

Item 2: An Invitation 

Please consider joining in a day of fasting and prayer on the coming Winter Solstice, Sunday December 21. 

I propose we focus on four Items:

1. Thankfulness and praise to God. I know I am not as appreciative of our Lord as I ought to be. Likewise, I am not as appreciative as I should be of Joseph and Hyrum for their efforts to start the fire, and those who now seek to rekindle and increase the fire. A day of thankfulness is in order.
2. Rethinking, Regrets, Repentance. There is plenty of room for all here. If you cannot think of anything, WAKE UP, you are in deep trouble.
3. A genuine plea for help. As a movement, we are in deep water. As we consider the return of increasing light to the world, we need Christ’s light to grow within us as well. Rather than asking the Lord for what *we* think we need, I propose we simply ask for His help and direction in what He knows we need. I would never want to limit the Lord’s response by asking for the wrong thing.
4. A general call for healing. If we have been sufficiently patient in our suffering, and if it is the Lord’s will, may we be healed from our ailments and receive new strength and renewed commitment to serve the Lord. 

Love,

Wendy and Brian Allred
