K2C 14 – Mormonism, the Matrix and Me – Chapter 8: Preparing for the Last Days

Is the United States Constitution divinely inspired? And could it someday "hang by a thread," waiting for faithful believers to save it? In Chapter 8 of Mormonism, the Matrix and Me, Tracy Tennant explores a series of prophetic teachings that shaped her understanding of the future while she was a committed member of the LDS Church. Several Mormon leaders, including Joseph Smith, taught that the U.S. Constitution would one day face destruction—and that the Mormon people would play a key role in preserving it. These teachings fueled a strong sense of urgency among many Latter-day Saints to prepare for the last days. Tracy reflects on the culture of food storage, emergency preparation, and the belief that faithful members might one day need to gather in Jackson County, Missouri—the prophesied location of Zion—to survive coming calamities. Drawing from quotes by LDS leaders and personal memories from her years in the Church, Tracy offers a glimpse into how end-times expectations shaped everyday life for many Mormon families. This episode is part of the audiobook series presenting Tracy Tennant's book Mormonism, the Matrix and Me, which chronicles her journey out of Mormonism and into biblical Christianity. The book Mormonism, the Matrix and Me is available on Amazon for those who would like to read the full story.
