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

Walk - The Spiritual Economy - God's Love Is Opportunity, Not Feelings

The "Spiritual Economy" is built on "the last shall be first, and the first shall be last." It is not top-down but bottom-up. It is built on those who "condescend" to lift others, not the world's power structure. For men, it is being the "Servant King." The love of God is not just feelings but opportunity. God did not die so that you would feel better about being loved. He died to allow you to become like Him, grow, put on the character of God, and be a joint heir with Christ.

The War In Heaven Over Empathy And Truth

Did Lucifer entice a third of the host of heaven with empathy and fairness? Did he try to show how an outcome of disparity is unacceptable and that if we surrendered our agency, he would guarantee an equitable outcome? You cannot have Equity with Agency and you cannot have Agency without Disparity. Website- www.cwicmedia.com

Walk- Education, Gen Z, Reaction To Women Leaving Christianity

Scripture Notes - http://scripturenotes.com Education is a bloated business... Is Gen Z just lazy or given the short end of the stick? Why can't anyone bring up the stats on women leaving the Church and Christianity without a vitriolic reaction?

Exposing Feminism In The Church

Journey of Wisdom Cruise - https://www.cwicmedia.com/journey-of-wisdom The Jared Halverson experience shows how deeply feminism has entered the church. Nothing Jared said in his very short video was worthy of the online backlash he received. This is eerily similar to Elder Holland's "Musket Talk" at BYU. People attacked him for things he never said. His later interview with a few women of the church focused on women being heard which had nothing to do with his video. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Walk - Brigham Young Is Being Ambushed

Scripture Notes - https://scripturenotes.com 180 years ago, these same arguments were prevalent in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and in the RLDS.

Many Latter-day Saints Say Gay Marriage Will Happen In The Temple

Scripture Notes - https://scripturenotes.com Sky Sorensen is concerned, as am I, that many in the church are preaching that the church will "change" marriage. That same-sex marriage WILL happen in the temple. This becomes very confusing to gay Latter-day Saints. Many grab onto this vision of "hope in change" over "hope in Christ." Sky experiences same-sex attraction. He prefers that description over "gay." He is happily married to a woman and has children with her Website- www.cwicmedia.com
