Derwin Gray - Protestant Pastor and BYU Football Great

This is a great discussion with Pastor Derwin, the founder of Transformation Church who also played football under Lavell Edwards from 1989-992. He also played in the NFL for six years. Dr. Derwin Gray's church is a non-denominational, multi-ethnic church on purpose. This is how he designed it. We talk about his journey in life, BYU, and many lessons that apply to Latter-day Saints, a faith he is very familiar with.   Website- https://www.cwicmedia.com

BYU Professor Wants Critical Race Theory At BYU

BYU Professor Advocating for Critical Race Theory at BYU and Public Schools. A BYU Professor Emeritus advocates for the teaching of Critical Race Theory at BYU and in public schools. He also equates statements from Ibram Kend and Joseph Smith. By dissecting his points in an article he wrote recently, we can break down much of what we see in the advocacy, teaching, and activation found in CRT. This is yet another example of what BYU is facing.   Website- https://www.cwicmedia.com

Clear Thinking- The NAACP, Elder Holland's Talk and LGBTQ

In an October 2020 address at BYU, President Oaks explained that we need to have "clear thinking" about social issues. This address seems to have set the table for Elder Holland's recent BYU speech. In this episode, I try to use the "clear thinking" principle and apply it to the Church's partnership with the NAACP, Elder Hollan's BYU speech, and the relationship between the Church, and the LGBTQ community.   Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com

Come Follow Me LDS - Doctrine and Covenants 94-97

"Temple and Light" As the Lord calls for His temple to be built, His language includes many of the themes of the temple including, light, creation, the Tree of Life, Charity, and the Doctrine of Christ. Is the love of God unconditional? How does He "love" us? What does "meek" mean?   Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com

Holland BYU Speech- Muskets and the Hyperbolic Aftermath

The Hyperbolic Aftermath of Elder Holland's BYU Speech The response to Elder Holland's BYU speech earlier this week includes many that support Elder Holland and many, louder and hyperbolic reactions that are grounded in a twist of Elder Holland's words, spirit, and intent of his speech. The "muskets" have been used as a distraction. The metaphor has been appropriated as an aggressive attack on the LGBTQ community. Many are rallying around this false narrative.   Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com
