Empowering Your Journey to Self-Sufficiency

This site is a repository of all things related to self reliance but is by no means complete. As in a Zion community such as the Grand Blanc Stakes, the promise that “there shall be no poor among them” Moses 7:18 is possible as we share self reliance best practices with each other.

Self Reliance is a principle endorsed by a loving Heavenly Father

from the very first to Adam in the Garden of Eden when He said to him” In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground…”Genesis 3:19. It touches not only our responsibility to provide for ourselves and our families temporally but also spiritually as evidence by the Savior’s words when He said”Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”Matthew 4:4. These two aspects of self reliance go hand in hand. One without the other results in an imbalanced life. Both sought diligently together results to a life of peace and sufficiency.
