A Personal Invitation
My Journey
How I came to the ancient way—and why I'm sharing it with you.
Who I Am
I'm Joseph. For years I've studied the patriarchs—how they lived, how they worshiped, how they administered the priesthood within their families. What began as academic curiosity became something far more personal: a calling to live the ancient way myself.
I've been ordained to the Patriarchal Priesthood—the same priesthood Adam held, that Noah preserved through the flood, that Abraham received and passed to his sons. My family practices this ancient way of life, observing the feasts, keeping covenants, and ordering our household according to the pattern God established from the beginning.
What I Discovered
As I studied the scriptures—both canonical and apocryphal—a pattern emerged that I had never seen clearly before. Religion didn't begin with Moses at Sinai or with the church in Jerusalem. It began with Adam in the Garden.
Adam received direct instruction from God. He offered sacrifices, kept appointed seasons, and taught his children to do the same. Abel didn't invent sacrifice; he learned it from his father. Noah didn't create the distinction between clean and unclean animals; he inherited it from his ancestors, all the way back to Adam.
What we call "the Law of Moses" was largely a restoration and codification of what Adam already knew—adapted for a people who had forgotten their heritage during Egyptian captivity.
This realization changed everything. If the ancient pattern predates Moses, predates Abraham, predates even the great flood—then it is the original. Everything else is either preservation, restoration, or corruption of what Adam received.
Why This Matters
We live in a time when institutional religion has lost much of its power to transform. Churches multiply programs but produce fewer disciples. Families fragment while congregations grow.
I believe the answer is not a new program or a better institution. The answer is a return to the original pattern: family-centered worship, covenant living, and direct relationship with God through His appointed means.
This is what the patriarchs had. This is what Enoch had when his entire city was taken up to God. This is what Abraham had as he sojourned in the land of promise. It's what's available to any family willing to live it today.
The destination of this path is not religious observance for its own sake. It is to know God—truly know Him, and His Son. To walk with Them. To speak with Them. To become like Them. Scripture tells us this is eternal life: not merely living forever, but sharing in the very life that God lives. This is what the ancient way leads to.
What I'm Sharing Here
This site is not a church. It's not an organization asking for your membership or your money. It's one man sharing what he's learned on his journey back to the ancient pattern.
Here you'll find:
- The Feasts — Practical guides for observing the three appointed seasons in your own home, with your own family.
- The Ancient Way — Teaching about the patriarchal order, the priesthood, and what it means to live as Adam lived.
- Connection — An invitation to reach out if what you've read resonates with something in your soul.
I don't claim to have all the answers. I'm still learning, still growing, still walking the path. But I've learned enough to know that this way works. My family is being transformed. Our home is becoming Zion in miniature. And that's worth sharing.
An Invitation
If what you've read here resonates with something in your soul—if you feel drawn to the ancient way—I'd be glad to hear from you. Not to recruit you into anything, but simply to connect, to share, to encourage one another on this journey toward knowing God and His Son.
— Joseph
