Exmo Wall Street Journal Article - Ridiculous Yet Telling
Our culture still says it's ok to take a bigoted approach to Latter-day Saints I have been saying this since 2024. There is a reason that most of the ExMo influencers mentioned in the Wall Street Journal article are women. This article helps support what I have been saying. This will blow over and will be a strength. Cwic Media Website: http://www.cwicmedia.com

Is the Church Anti-Woman -Or Is Culture Gaslighting Our Daughters?
Rachael Patterson from the YouTube Channel, Women and the Priesthood, joins Greg to talk about why young women in the US are leaving the church in high numbers. What are the causes? Does feminism play a role? How does this square with the Family Proclamation? How do Latter-day Saint women navigate the cultural climate with the gospel? And, what about the priesthood?

Gender Roles, Patriarchal Order In The LDS Family Proclamation
Hannah Stoddard joins Greg to talk about the Family Proclamation and the Order of the Family. We discuss what the Family Proclamation says about gender roles in our modern world, the Patriarchal Order, the disintegration of the family and civilization, and the path to follow Christ and the Plan of Salvation. Interestingly, this was recorded just an hour after Greg posted the first FAIR Q&A video. Website- www.cwicmedia.com

Open Letter to Family Proclamation Supporters
Being Called "Political" For Supporting the Family Proclamation Alive and Intelligent Substack - https://aliveandintelligent.substack.com Wavemakers Podcaster Cruise - https://www.cwicmedia.com/wavemakers If a member supports the Family Proclamation, are they being political? Is the Proclamation political? It was not produced in a vacuum. It was created in a highly political environment that has only intensified over the last 30 Years. It is prophetic and based on unchanging, Eternal laws. The 30th Anniversary of the Family Proclamation is something to celebrate, and that is what the Church is doing. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Can We Save Marriage And Christianity?
Why is marriage disappearing in America? Brian Willoughby, an Associate Professor at BYU, breaks down the cultural, economic, and digital forces driving the decline of marriage and dating, from rising anxiety and delayed commitments to AI “companions” replacing real relationships. Despite overwhelming research showing that marriage boosts happiness, health, and stability, younger generations increasingly see it as a burden instead of a blessing. We cover the role of parents, religion, technology, and social media in reshaping views on family, the fertility crisis threatening the future, and why marriage is still the foundation for thriving individuals, children, and society. Don’t miss this eye-opening conversation that uncovers what’s really at stake. Brian's Book, The Millennial Marriage - https://amzn.to/45TWf7p Website- cwicmedia.com

Reaction to Reaction and Clarity on Aaron Sherinian
- I had a very positive call with Aaron Sherinian a couple of days ago. - There was already a tinderbox set before this Q&A match was lit. - It is not good to bury our heads in the sand on what is happening to the family. People have valid reasons for being concerned. Aaron Sherininian is a good man. Both can be true at the same time. We need to distinguish between the person and the issue. Website- cwicmedia.com

Excellent FAIR Conference - Why The Family Proclamation Deserved A Clear "Yes" feat. Cardon Ellis
Cardon Ellis from Ward Radio joins me on my first joint "walk." We stepped out from the FAIR conference (a great conference and organization) for a few minutes to discuss the Q&A with Church Comms Director, Aaron Sherinian. We talk about some of the ridiculous statements from LDX (online community), discernment between an act and the person, and the background that led to so many people asking the question on his stance on The Family Proclamation to begin with. Also important, the reaction by a loud minority of online trolls against FAIR and even Aaron Sherinian is disappointing. First, FAIR is an incredible organization that I fully support. Scott has done a fantastic job running that organization. Second, please more fully separate the person from the act and focus on the act, not the person. I don't bring these things up to look for a scapegoat or create a witch hunt. But for some, they can't help themselves. I am about the actual issues. In almost all cases, I bring up the event without bringing up a name. Obviously, in this case, that is not possible. Website- cwicmedia.com
