LGBTQ Confusion and Clarity In The Church
A YouTube video released today by Jacob Hansen of Thoughtful Faith on the confusion of many Latter-day Saints on the seemingly dual messaging of the Doctrine of the Family was excellent, articulate and meaningful. Here, I am offering what I believe is additional context. Are we moving toward same-sex marriage /sealing in the temple? Many think so, but what has been said even recently by the prophets? We all need to learn to "walk the edge of the sword" in these last days to find the piercing truth of light in a dark, confusing world.

The Fight Over Abortion In Utah
The new Utah law on abortion passed after Roe v Wade was, within days, placed under an injunction by a Judge. We are still waiting for the outcome of the new Utah law. Guests Mary Taylor and Deanna Holland of Pro-Life Utah discuss the status of abortion in Utah Tactics by Utah Pro-Life are effective because they use sonograms to show women what/who they are aborting.

MLK vs DEI - A Forgotten Message
Martin Luther King fought for "Equality" under the framework of the US Constitution. The so-called "Civil Rights" leaders today do not. Critical Race Theory and Antiracism fight vehemently against King's vision and message. Clarence Jones, the co-author of King's "I Have A Dream" speech, confirms the disparity between King's message and today's woke message.

New LDS Communications Director Supports Pride and Pronouns
The New Managing Director of Communications for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints supports the Pride and Trans movement and uses pronouns. What does a member of the Church make of this? Does the Church support these ideologies? How will this change the messaging of the Church? There is a spiritual side of the Church and a corporate side of the Church. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Unveiling BYU's Newest Class: The "Philoswiftie" Class, A Taylor Swift Extravaganza!
A new Taylor Swift class has begun at BYU. The class is focused on the "Philosophy of Taylor Swift." The professor calls this "philoswiftie." Is this too superficial for a serious university, or is it a good way to bring students into a deeper discipline and meaningful, learning discussions? The professor seems to be obsessed with Taylor Swift and he has gone to three concerts in the last year alone, has a full-size cutout of the leggy pop star in his office, and tries to incorporate her lyrics into all of his discussions.

Book of Mormon Movie, The Oath - A Unique Approach to Latter-day Saint Themed Movies
Scritpure Notes - https://www.scripturenotes.com Darin Scott is the writer, producer, director, and actor of the independent film, "The Oath." Darin takes a unique approach to Moroni's character and events at the end of his life. "Moroni is not a statue," says Darin Scott. Certainly, there is a realism given to Moroni in this film. An aspect that I particularly enjoyed in this film. The artwork and the seals used in this film portray a people centered on Jesus Christ and their ancestor Josephe of Egypt. Billy Zane leads a cast of almost all non-Latter-day Saints. The film is in theaters now and will have a digital release later in 2024.

Come Follow Me Rainbow Tree? "Reaction" and Comments
Scripture Notes - https://www.scripturenotes.com I recently published an episode called, "Come Follow Me Tree of Pride" about a painting of the Tree of Life with rainbow colors. It was up for less than 24 hours. I pulled it down. I explain why in this episode. I comment on the rainbow and how it is becoming a strong symbol in our culture and its use at BYU and Deseret Book. I also "react" to several comments that were on that video and run the audience through a visual experiment with AI-generated images. Symbols have meaning. When you combine two symbols of different meanings, what happens?
