Elder Holland s BYU Speech - Commentary
Elder Holland gave a stirring speech to BYU yesterday, August 23, 2021. He was direct in his approach while expressing his love for the institution of Brigham Young University. In this episode, I comment on why I believe he mentioned certain specifics, how BYU must stay true to its mission, and what does the future hold. Elder Holland's remarks included a focus on the Doctrine of the Family and marriage as well. This was a monumental speech deserving of its full delivery. I have linked it below- Elder Holland's Full Speech - https://youtu.be/CUEBJ3NdaCs Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com

Come Follow Me LDS - Doctrine and Covenants 93
In this fast-paced episode, we immerse in the scriptures and bring together light, truth, the Doctrine of Christ, and the cost of love. We use Isaiah to inform Section 93 and Section 93 to inform Isaiah. We also bring in Abinadi and John's gospel. In this Section, we arrive at the climatic DBR reference, "the Word." The JST shows us that the "Word" is both the "gospel" of Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ Himself. Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com

Come Follow Me LDS - Doctrine and Covenants 89-92
Doctrine and Covenants 89, a "Word of Wisdom", is more about spiritual things than physical. The "promise" from the Lord is not a physical one. Not primarily. It is spiritual. Our bodies are the true temples of creation. In this episode we let Paul and Isaiah inform the meaning of the blessings of Section 89 illuminating our understanding of what this revelation is all about.

Ben Shapiro on The Bill Maher Show - Critical Race Theory Debate
In a debate on Critical Race Theory held on The Bill Maher Show, Ben Shapiro, and Malcom Nance give their definitions of CRT. We see how those who support CRT choose to debate and the commentary provides insights into how CRT plays out today. Is there objective truth or just lived experience? Is Critical Race Theory taught in our schools? Is the objective of CRT equality of opportunity or forced equity of results? Website- https://www.cwicmedia.com

Covid Vaccination, President Nelson and The Church
New messaging from the First Presidency on getting vaccinated. Why are members so split on this? What is the political reasoning? Why might it get worse? This episode provides data, reasoning, and opinion on the Covid vaccinations. Global governments and Health Agencies have a specific goal for a specific percentage of those vaccinated. This causes a battle between societal needs and individual liberty. Also, why I got vaccinated. Website- https://www.cwicmedia.com

Royal Procession, Cwic Interpreter - Provo Presentation
Audio could be better. Jesus' entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday is usually called the Triumphal Entry. This hides what is happening. Jesus rides in through the east gate of Jerusalem on a donkey just as King Solomon did at his coronation. This is a Royal Procession to the temple. As a pervasive cultural event, it is also used as a metaphor in scripture for the Aaronic and Melchizedek Priesthoods as in "prepare ye the way" and the Second Coming of Christ as just a couple of examples.

Creation, Eve & The Garden of Eden - Provo Presentation
The Creation and Garden of Eden Dramas may not be what many think them to be. This presentation provides insight into viewing these narratives as visions and dramas as given to Moses and Abraham. Eve is both righteous and beguiled. "Death" represents judgment, with perhaps more emphasis than physical death. Cherubim represents judgment. Lehi's Dream is the second half of the chiasmus, "Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they may have joy" finishing the story of the Garden of Eden.

Come Follow Me LDS - Doctrine and Covenants 88
Doctrine and Covenants 88 is a gargantuan revelation. We set the stage with Joseph Smith and Sections 86 & 87 for the reception of "The Olive Leaf". The Section starts out with the title, "Lord of Sabaoth." We cover this and talk about the Deuteronimists in Jerusalem at the time of Lehi. One thing to notice in this section is its framing of hierarchy through the Sun, Moon, Stars, and the Earth. It is very, very, similar to that often talked about chapter 3 in the Book of Abraham. You know, the one with "Kolob." We cover that. Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com Come Follow Me LDS Doctrine and Covenants 88

BYU - "Immerse Boys In Princess Culture!"
"School of Family Life Canceling Gender" New study from Assistant Director Sarah Coyne recommends that young boys, from pre-school age, be immersed in Princess Culture to reduce their toxic masculinity. The study also vilifies older Disney princess movies for displaying "feminine" traits such as "nurturing." An article placed on the BYU website shows focuses on a young boy holding several princess dolls, wearing flowered pajamas, and reading pink princess books.
