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

Dr. Derwin Gray's church is a non-denominational, multi-ethnic church on purpose. This is how he designed it.

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

Thoughts on Lehi's Dream, CRT and Racism

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.
