Wokeness And Belief In God (feat. Jacob Hansen )

If you have no belief in God, would you naturally become "woke?" After watching my interview with James Lindsay, Jacob Hansen had some questions. Why do many who do not believe in God shun wokeness? With its secular, Godless roots, Jacob asks why an atheist would not embrace it. We discuss the philosophical roots of Woke, go into atheism, and finally discuss Expressive Individualism. Enjoy!

Woman Caught In Adultery Understood Through The Brazen Serpent

Many have taken the account of the Woman Caught In Adultery to show that Jesus does not judge here when He says, "neither do I condemn thee." Others cite his response to "go, and sin no more." However, there is an underlying meaning found in the themes of John's Gospel, especially with the Brazen Serpent. Hint - It's not what you think. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Re-Education Courses And Blacklisted For Calling a Transwoman A Man

Alarming story! As a congressman in Mexico, Rodrigo Ivan Cortez was fined, put on a blacklist, and assigned re-education courses for saying that a man was a man and a woman was a woman. In the sentencing, he was cited as being "white," a man, heterosexual, and a Christian. Ironically, these are immutable characteristics protected under a universally applicable, or so was though, Mexican Constitution. This sentencing comes from policy created at the United Nations and adopted by lawmakers. Much of this policy actually comes from the United States who exports these ideas to the UN and in turn, affects individuals and families like Rodrigo. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Don't Tell Me I Can't Be Gay And Faithful - Latter-day Saints Say How And Why

Can a gay individual or someone with same-sex attraction be faithful in the Church? Three active Latter-day Saints, Tember Harward, Craig Newsome, and Skyler Sorensen give an emphatic, "Yes." Separating LGBTQ activism from the individual is difficult work because the activists have been so successful in driving the narrative. While the message from the Brethren is clear from the pulpit, local leaders may not have such a clear understanding of the doctrine and policies of the church.
