Introducing the Heavenly Father's Plan of Joy Mini-Series and a Declaration of Stewardships
Introducing the Heavenly Father’s Plan of Joy Mini-Series
Over the past several weeks I have completed what has become one of the largest writing projects of my life.
The result is a seven-book mini-series entitled Heavenly Father’s Plan of Joy.
Each volume examines a different aspect of emotional and spiritual maturation through the gospel of Jesus Christ and the Seven Governing Dynamics.
Although each book stands on its own, together they form a unified journey from emotional immaturity toward Christlike maturity, emotional sobriety, covenant discipleship, and enduring joy.
The series includes:
- Not Too Late for Joy — Healing resentment, lost time, and the grief of the unlived life.
- The Famine of Hearing — Emotional and spiritual nutrition in a starving world.
- The Label-Managed Soul — False identity, scapegoating, and recovering the true self.
- The Wounded God-Bond — Healing distorted trust in God and authority.
- The Bridled Heart — Purifying desire, appetite, lust, greed, and holy hunger.
- The Refiner’s Order — Agency, purification, and the forging of divine maturity.
- Zion from Within — Building nourishing families, cultures, and communities through Christlike transformation.
Rather than approaching discipleship primarily as behavior modification, these books explore the lawful developmental processes by which Jesus Christ gradually transforms hearts, heals unmet emotional needs, purifies devotion, enlarges agency, and prepares His children to become more like Him.

The recurring message throughout the series is simple:
God’s purpose is not merely to make us well informed.
His purpose is to help us become mature sons and daughters through the redeeming grace of Jesus Christ.
A New Declaration of Stewardships
Alongside the publication of this series, I have also added a new page to this website entitled:
Declaration of Stewardships and Invitation to Receive a Personal Witness
https://christlikeintelligence.life/stewardships
Several readers have asked an important question:
“What exactly are you claiming?”
This declaration answers that question as clearly and honestly as I know how.
It explains the scope of my stewardship, what I do and do not claim, my relationship to personal revelation, my respect for the stewardships established within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and my invitation for every reader to seek truth directly from God through the Holy Ghost.
One of the central statements of that declaration is this:
The Seven Governing Dynamics are not presented as my invention. They are presented as what I know, through sustained observation, study, faith, and confirming revelation from the Holy Ghost, to be God’s revealed architecture of human emotional and spiritual maturation.
Equally important is the invitation that follows:
Do not substitute my witness for your own. Seek God yourself. Study. Ponder. Live the principles. Observe their fruits. Ask God with a sincere heart, with real intent, and with faith in Jesus Christ. Receive your own witness through the Holy Ghost.
That invitation lies at the heart of everything I have written.
The Journey Continues
Every book I write represents another step in a lifelong quest to better understand how God’s children mature through the grace of Jesus Christ.
The purpose has never been merely to accumulate information.
It has been to discover lawful patterns that help people become more emotionally sober, more spiritually grounded, more charitable, more discerning, more teachable, and ultimately more like the Savior.
My hope is not that readers become followers of an author.
My hope is that they become devoted disciples of Jesus Christ.
If these books help you better understand God…
If they strengthen your agency…
If they deepen your emotional sobriety…
If they increase your charity…
If they help you receive personal revelation…
Then I give thanks to God, from whom all truth and every good gift proceed.
The message is greater than the messenger.
May these writings endure only insofar as they bear good fruit.
If they bear good fruit, all glory belongs to God.
If they do not, let them pass away.
