From Drama to Empowerment – Building Zion One Role at a Time
In this episode we explore Stephen Karpman’s Drama Triangle (Victim, Hero/Rescuer, Villain) and its powerful counterpart, the Empowerment Triangle (Creator, Coach, Challenger). Drawing from personal notes and real-life patterns, we look at how these roles show up in everyday relationships, conflict, and even our spiritual communities. We use the analogy of a play: most stories begin with the main character stuck in the Drama Triangle, but the best ones—the ones that actually transform us—are the ones where the main character wakes up, steps out of the old script, and moves into empowerment. The conversation ties directly into Zion: what it looks like to build a people of pure heart and real agency by noticing the roles we play and choosing differently.

The Stories We Tell Ourselves (and How They Keep Us from Zion
We all create stories in our minds about what other people mean, especially when something triggers us. Most of the time those stories aren’t true—but we still ruminate on them, project them onto others (and sometimes onto God), and let them shape our relationships. In this episode we explore why the brain is wired to create these narratives, how trauma colors the lens we hear people through, and practical ways to question the stories, release the emotions attached to them, and move toward clearer connection and Zion unity.

Sermon on The Mount/Transcending the Mind to Zion Thinking
In this episode we go deeper into the power of the mind. We explore how the three main parts of the brain—especially the ancient reptilian survival brain—shape our automatic reactions, and how Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount is actually an invitation to move out of that reactive circuitry into higher, Spirit-led thinking. Through the lens of the brain, trauma responses, and key Beatitudes, we discover that the Sermon is practical training for building Zion: a people of pure heart who respond rather than react.

Tending the Garden of Your Mind
Your thoughts are real forces. They are seeds. And the mind is a living garden that God has entrusted to you. In this episode we explore how repeated thoughts take root in the subconscious, shape neural pathways, and eventually appear as the circumstances of our lives. Drawing on the law of cause and effect, the science of how the brain works, and the beautiful invitation of repentance as a change of mind, we look at what it means to become the master gardener of our inner world. You’ll hear a personal story of shifting from the belief that “life is hard” to the living truth that “all things work together for my good,” along with two powerful teachings from President Russell M. Nelson on the Greek meaning of repentance and the daily, liberating process of changing the way we think. Whether you are carrying heavy thoughts, praying for breakthrough, or simply longing to partner more fully with the Lord in the renewal of your mind, this conversation is an invitation to pick up the tools, tend the soil, and watch what He grows.

In this episode of the Building Zion Podcast, Ashley shares a deeply personal story of how the Lord used dreams to guide her through multiple miscarriages and ultimately bring her son Ethan into the world.
