The Hidden Identity Of Elias Revealed? feat. Bruce Porter
So, who is "Elias?" Is it John the Baptist? Is it just the Greek version of the name Elijah? Is it Noah? Is it all of them? But ultimately, who is the "Elias" who visited the Kirtland Temple in Section 110 of the Doctrine and Covenants and restored the keys of the Gospel of the Dispensation of Abraham? Bruce Porter joins Greg to give his idea on who this elusive character is. Isn't there a "Spirit of Elias" and a "Spirit of Elijah?" Website- www.cwicmedia.com

The West Is Collapsing - Family And Fertility Rate
Mads Larsen, an expert demographer, is at the tip of the spear globally in research and messaging on the collapsing fertility rate in the West. He is the source on the issue for many other "experts." The direction of the shrinking fertility rate has undeniable consequences including a lack of human productivity, immigration, and even a new need for an AI driven economy. Website- www.cwicmedia.com

Walk On The Nile - Peace Is NOT Compromise
Years before President Nelson gave his talk on "Peacemakers," the word "Peace" had already been hijacked. Peace in the scriptures is not what you think it is. Peace is "Shalom" which is comparable to the Egyptian concept of "Ma'at." That is, order, truth, justice, and harmony. As Jesus is described in the New Testament and Book of Mormon, it is "Grace And Truth." Both are necessary. Without both, we end up with Untethered Empathy and Malevolent Compassion.

We're Swimming In Conspiracy Theories - But Some Are True!
In the Book of Mormon, we hear of Secret Combinations and are warned against them. But what if some or many conspiracy theories are perpetuated by the Secret Combinations? Dan Ellsworth and Greg discuss the current environment of conspiracy theories. What causes us to have a plethora of lies, and in a world already full of lies, how do we know which ones are true?

Speaker Says Religions Need To Compromise - Standing Ovation At BYU
BYU chooses some interesting guest speakers. One recent speaker is Jonathan Rauch, a gay atheist supporting compromise between the LGBTQ agenda and institutional religion. Mostly Christianity. Political veteran Paul Mero and political influencer Eric Moutsos discuss the real fallout of this compromise and dissect its faults. A lot of new fluffy word are used but in the end, Rauch is simply asking the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to compromise on legally on an anti-family agenda. A compromise that strengthens churches' right to discriminate while removing rights from their members and all citizens. Website- www.cwicmedia.com

Walk - Istanbul - Pernicious Feminism
The fruit of Feminism has not fallen far from the tree. Those that have pushed it the most, codified it, and made it a movement are anti-family, anti-freedom, and almost always anti-God. We play with this Philosophy of Men (Women) casually without understanding its core or goals. It has made significant headway in the church and will continue to grow. Website- www.cwicmedia.com

LDS Grace And Works feat. Bruce Porter
How do grace and works fit within a Restored Gospel framework? What does it have to do with eternal laws and Exaltation? How does it differ from a Protestant perspective? And why are they both necessary? Where is the church at on the Grace - Works pendulum? Greg and Bruce Porter discuss the scriptural basis for works and the difference between grace and mercy.

The Ancient Scribal Schools Produced The Scriptures feat. Noel B. Reynolds
Exciting new scholarship from Noel B. Reynolds sheds light on how the scriptures were produced and how many of the ancient prophets were trained. Beginning with Egypt, their scribal school taught both administrative and holy writing. But they were also taught many of the other skills such as metallurgy (think Nephi) and military stratagem and physical combat. Website- www.cwicmedia.com

Are Both Book Of Mormon Geography Models Wrong?
Lance Weaver has done an immense amount of research—enough for me to put him on the Show. An experienced geologist, Lance shows through modeling where he believes the settlements of Zarahemla, the Land of Mulek, and other sites existed. Known trade routes in Mexico, the American Southwest, and all the way to New York can show common travel by the Nephites. And just for fun, we look at the dating of the Pharaohs, and how dating and numbers cause problems for history. Website- www.cwicmedia.com Lance's website - gatheredin.one
