Education's War Against Men

"Where Have All The Men Gone?" We have arrived at a point where for every man that graduates from college, nearly two women will graduate. This is not only a problem for men but for women as well. Girls and women dominate scholastic leadership roles, student government, college admissions, valedictorians, and diplomas. And there is no reversal in sight. The only group this helps, are the highly educated males.   Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com

The Black National Anthem, CRT, and Intersectionality

The NFL is playing the Black National Anthem before games. Why is there a push to have two National Anthems? What is the purpose? Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Intersectionality are the engines behind this push. They seek to tear down liberal democracy by breaking us into groups and reforming our institutions. America was built for all. That means "assimilation" for all to its principles of freedom.   Website- https://www.cwicmedia.com

Come Follow Me LDS - Doctrine and Covenants 106-108

"Checks and Balances" The General Priesthood and organization of the Church has a built-in "checks and balances" similar to the US Constitution. There are three quorums that can "check" each other with a unanimous vote.  Section 107 provides great detail for the Higher and Lower Laws administered by the Melchizedek and Aaronic Priesthoods.   Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com

Teddy Bear Jesus and The Therapy Gospel

With works and grace, and personal responsibility and comfort, the gospel pendulum seems to be rapidly swinging toward the latter. But a "Teddy Bear" Jesus is not the answer nor is it the true Doctrine of Christ. "Comfort" is turning to victimhood and resentment, forming victim groups and expecting Jesus Christ to be the "liberator" of such griefs. This turns the gospel into a "Therapy" Gospel coddling victimhood and stealing personal responsibility.   Website- https://www.cwicmedia.com

Come Follow Me LDS - Doctrine and Covenants 102-105

The Plan of Salvation asks us to all be "saviors of men." God is not just a "Healer" or a therapist. The Plan is for us to become like Him, not just to be "fixed." As we receive more light, we are to shine that light for others. This is why those at the Tree of Life do not gather and store the fruit for themselves, rather, they partake of it. This signifies that they become like the Tree. They are to become like Christ.   Website-  https://www.cwicmedia.com

Deconstructing Your Testimony- Postmodernism's "Lived Experience"

A strong tenet of Postmodernism is a "Lived Experience." In reality, it is a hijacking of knowledge. The arrival of "Deconstruction" and "Lived Experience" have already arrived in mainstream creedal Christianity and are wreaking havoc.  This episode shows how this may show up in a Latter-day Saint context and how it can be used perniciously with our testimonies. Also, three different ways (epistemologies) to come to a knowledge of the veracity of the gospel and the Church.   Website- https://www.cwicmedia.com

The Church, Left vs Right, and Political Extremities

In an ever-increasing polarization of politics, how will the Church create dialogue? What does it mean to be "civil within the Church? How do we avoid political extremities and keep a dialogue on issues? Just a few thoughts on what I'm hearing.   Website- https://www.cwicmedia.com

Come Follow Me LDS - Doctrine and Covenants 98-101

"The Law of Liberty" Oddly, the Lord lifts up the banner of the US Constitution exactly when it is failing the early saints. He speaks of the "principle of freedom" within the Constitution and says that is should be given to all of mankind. We also see how agency plays a role in these sections, the "Law of Liberty" from Irenaeus, and the gathering of Israel is temple-centered.   Website- https://www.cwicmedia.com
