Cwic Media- LDS Podcast / Latter-day Saints

Journey Of Wisdom Cruise - https://www.cwicmedia.com/journey-of-wisdom Critics of the church, including guest speakers at BYU, are now using the "colonialism" argument against the church in its migration west and even with its missionaries. Are we really that surprised? Jason Olson returns with his podcast partner, Rusty Curtis of the 2 Converts podcast, to discuss this element of the Religion of Academia and its conflict with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 2 Converts Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@UCAvoBmmoOI3I_trHm7UIhFg Website - www.cwicmedia.com

MOMENTUM Cruise https://www.cwicmedia.com/momentum BBQ Dinner & Presentation - "Teddy Bear Jesus & Exaltation" St. George, UT - https://www.cwicmedia.com/offers/TKLC2cxR/checkout - What made Joseph Smith so radical? - Did Joseph Smith "wrestle" with God? - Who are the "other" Josephites? - The radical teaching of Exaltation. Hannah Stoddard is the Director of the Joseph Smith Foundation. In this interview, we discuss little-known facts about Joseph Smith. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Journey Of Wisdom Cruise - https://www.cwicmedia.com/journey-of-wisdom How is Christianity responding to an increasing encroachment from secularism in the West? Will we see a last revival in these last days preparing for the Second Coming of Christ? Will Christ come when things are improved in the world or when they are so bad He must intervene? Greg and his friends, Pastors Jeff McCullough and Nate Fox comment on the state of Christianity. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Fathom The Good Curriculum - https://fathomthegood.com/ Social media has become THE tool to pass on disinformation and "critique" the Church, its history, practices and doctrines. The new, most popular, and fastest-growing anti-Mormon voices are mostly women. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Gospel On The Nile - https://www.cwicmedia.com/gospel-on-the-nile When Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey, it had already been done in a Royal Procession/Coronation Ceremony in Jerusalem. The last week of Jesus' life fulfills an ancient Israelite Temple Drama about Jesus Christ. Jesus is simply carrying out the Temple Drama. We do the same thing in the temple endowment ceremony. We are going through a Royal Procession that lines up with Jesus last week in mortality. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Journey Of Wisdom Cruise - https://www.cwicmedia.com/journey-of-wisdom Jacob Hess and Greg discuss the evolution and disparity between legacy and new, alternative media. Where are people sourcing their news? Do we create news "silos" and feedback loops? Fact-Checking is just another layer of bias. We need to step up in the information age and increase our discernment. That may be the lesson of our time.

Scripture Notes - https://scripturenotes.com/ The Hulu TV series The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has been a topic of controversy and online turmoil since it aired earlier this year in September. Several women in the TV series are certainly not representative of an every day "Mormon" wife and mother—far from it. Ganellyn Condie and Shayla Egan, two of the eight authors of a recent book, The Not So Secret Lives Of Real "Mormon" Wives, discuss the Hulu TV series and their recent book. In the book, women tell their own stories of their lives, struggles, sacrifices, and testimonies that clearly show how Latter-day Saint women work and live as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Scripture Notes - https://scripturenotes.com/ The Doctrine of Exaltation seems to be waning. When we lower our focus, we end up with a Therapy or Prosperity Gospel. Exaltation and The Doctrine of Christ are inextricably connected. Both doctrines have been lost to the world several times. Charity is tied to Exaltation. Without Charity, we are nothing. Bruce Porter Interview - Exaltation - https://youtu.be/mjsz6qv9VMI

Scripture Notes - https://scripturenotes.com/ Orthodox members of the Church today often feel anchorless as the Church has changed its message to them. Other members are encouraged because there are no authoritative checks from the pulpit on their social agendas. The Church used to directly address its day's cultural and social ills and influences. Today, it is silent on these issues, except one, religious freedom. Is the Church's tax-exempt status a muzzle? Or are we going in a different direction? Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Gospel On The Nile - https://www.cwicmedia.com/gospel-on-the-nile Paul Mero is a culture warrior veteran. Washington DC, Utah State politics, and politics within The Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints. He has experience and insights to them all. Should we engage in "Babylon?" Do we look to change policy, law, and social mores in our societies or do we focus on our families and "invite" the world to live the Gospel? What about within the Church? Do we do anything within the Church to keep Babylon out? "Defeated" by Paul Mero - https://amzn.to/416c7BX Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Scripture Notes - https://scripturenotes.com/ Elder Bednar frames President Nelson's words, "In coming days, it will not be possible to survive spiritually without the guiding, directing, comforting, and constant influence of the Holy Ghost" within the coming advances of Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI boyfriends and girlfriends are already available for companionship, support, affirmation, and assistance. This will lead to "artificial infidelity" with AI boyfriends and girlfriends. AI will be both "perilous" and provide "opportunities." Everything depends on how we use it. Will we use AI to replace our own "work" and growth? Or will we use it in a supportive role?

Dallas Jenkins, creator of The Chosen, recently gave an excellent talk at BYU. It is exciting to hear such talks from people of other denominations. Dallas' talk was on overcoming adversity and failure by giving everything to God. With some fascinating insights from the story of the Feeding Of The Five Thousand, Dallas talks of his personal experience of failure and the new worldview he gained by reading this Biblical account.

Journey Of Wisdom Mediterranean Cruise - https://www.cwicmedia.com/journey-of-wisdom BYU invited an official from UNRWA, which is heavily infiltrated by Hamas, to give a presentation at the BYU Kennedy Center. The presentation followed Hamas's talking points and received a standing ovation. Hamas terrorists working as employees for UNRWA were involved in the October 7 massacre. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Scripture Notes - https://scripturenotes.com/ A BYU Professor shreds the Family Proclamation on video. He had posted a paper on his door to Trump supporters referencing the Book of Mormon telling them they had chosen "iniquity." Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Journey Of Wisdom Cruise - https://www.cwicmedia.com/journey-of-wisdom Earlier this week, Israel passed a law requiring the UNRWA, the United Nations arm for Palestinian refugee relief, to cease operations and leave Gaza and the West Bank. Why, because it is infiltrated by Hamas according Israeli officials. Jabra Ghneim, a Palestinian-born American academic, discusses this standoff and the relationship between the United Nations and Israel. Interestingly, BYU just had a representative of the UNWRA speak on campus. The Antisemitism of college campuses is now infiltrating the activist administrations and teachers of American K-12 education.

Gospel On The Nile - https://www.cwicmedia.com/gospel-on-the-nile Married Men vote heavily Trump while Single Women vote equally for Harris. The more kids parents have, the more likely they vote Trump. Gen Z is moving at breakneck speed to the right. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Go And Do Travel Journey Of Wisdom - https://www.cwicmedia.com/journey-of-wisdom This is a re-post of the original episode, which is no longer available. A Stake Relief Society LGBTQ presentation called for the use of preferred pronouns, wearing the Pride Flag or rainbows, and recommended replacing "brother" and "sister" with "friend." These presentations, which are all very similar, are happening all over the US. They essentially promote the Pride movement and do not include teachings of Exaltation and the Law of Chastity. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Gospel On The Nile - https://www.cwicmedia.com/gospel-on-the-nile The Pride Cycle moves back and forth, just like the Hegelian Dialectic. Many today say that Woke is doomed. I disagree. The adversary will never stop. New words and strategies will always be invoked and become "in vogue." Technology plays a significant role in the pride cycle. The additional liberty and options it provides create more opportunities for bad choices. The gospel is political. The Book of Mormon is a highly political book. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Gospel On The Nile - https://www.cwicmedia.com/gospel-on-the-nile Jesus is not a Teddy Bear. President Holland, in his talk, describes a masculine, bold, protective, and charitable man who is tethered to truth and the will of His Father. We should not "dumb down" the image and character of Jesus Christ. When you remove justice you remove grace. Charity may not be what you think it is. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Scripture Notes - https://scripturenotes.com/ A new BYU article from the student newspaper, the Daily Universe, advocates for "women's reproductive rights." The Church earlier this month confirmed its position on abortion that "it remains the same." Members are swapping political parties, and many who are voting Democrat are beginning to adopt that platform, including "reproductive rights." Website - www.cwicmedia.com

MOMENTUM East Cruise - https://www.cwicmedia.com/momentum Judgment is rarely mentioned anymore. Not fire and brimstone judgment, just an understanding that judgment stands between us and God. The Redemption is only good for those who use it. "No unclean thing can enter into the kingdom of God." This is the obstacle. This is the Cherubim from the Garden Of Eden Account. The entire plan of God is to help us get through the Cherubim and through judgment. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Scripture Notes - https://scripturenotes.com/ Lehi and Nephi were scribes! A Josephite or even Manassite scribal school that wrote in Egyptian existed all the way back to Abraham, was passed down to Joseph of Egypt, and down to Lehi and Nephi, explains Book Of Mormon Scholar Noel B. Reynolds. This scribal school was in the original tradition of the Patriarchs, as opposed to the Judahite school, which "harmonized" various Judahite teachings. The Josephite scribal school produced the Brass Plates and the Book of Mormon, while the Judahite school, which was unfamiliar with the Egyptian language, produced the Old Testament. Joseph of Egypt flourished in Egypt because of his scribal training! Mormon and Moroni were scribal school boys at a very young age. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Go And Do Travel MOMENTUM Cruises - https://www.cwicmedia.com/momentum Jabra Ghneim is a Palestinian-born American who wants to set the record straight on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. ISRAEL IS ACTING IN DEFENSE. Contrary to Ta-Nehisi Coates' book, The Message, Israelis and Palestinians are not the same as Whites and Blacks in America. Arab identity is fragmenting. Yahya Sinwar killed by IDF. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Scripture Notes - https://scripturenotes.com/ Brian Hales provides numerous historical data points to show that Joseph Smith did indeed practice polygamy. Some documents are shared, as are QR codes for evidence that Brian provides. Brian covers contemporaneous evidence of Joseph Smith's polygamy, Section 132 being written by Joseph Smith, as well as an exhaustive number of communications, church documents, affidavits, and more. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Avraham Gileadi is an expert on the Book of Isaiah. In Gileadi's framework on Isaiah, Egypt is America. With this understanding, he shows that America will fall into civil war, will be invaded, will have nuclear war, and will have a "Dragon" as a leader. Isaiah Institute Virtual Conference - https://isaiahconference/24 Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Isaiah Institute Restoring The Covenant Virtual Conference - https://isaiahconference.com/greg Dan Ellsworth and Greg have had several discussions on Marxist thought. This discussion focuses on Dan's latest book, Marxism, A Latter-day Saint Perspective. They cover the DNA of Marxism to today's ideological movements such as DEI, Critical Race Theory, and Queer Theory. We also discuss Marxism and the Church. Dan's book shows the vast differences between these modern Marxist offshoots and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Dan also boldly claims that Marxism is the "Great And Abominable Church" described in the Book of Mormon. Marxism by Dan Ellsworth - https://amzn.to/3zTkNQP Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Isaiah Institute Restoring The Covenant Virtual Conference - https://isaiahconference.com/greg Even the Book of Mormon was written around the teachings and prophecies of Isaiah. In the Book of Mormon, Jesus commands us to read and study the Book of Isaiah. How many of us do that? In the Old World, Jesus referenced Isaiah to launch His ministry. In these last days, and as our prophet has told us to gear up, shouldn't we be studying this book? Website - www.cwicmedia.com

https://www.cwicmedia.com/gospel-on-the-nile Michelle Stone is a leading voice in a movement stating that Joseph Smith did not initiate or practice polygamy. We address President Nelson and President Oaks' multiple sealings, the succession of Brigham Young from Joseph Smith, historical documents, and, of course, the scriptures. I do not agree with Michelle's conclusions, but as a Latter-day Saint cultural dynamic, the person and the topic interest me. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

https://www.cwicmedia.com/momentum Author Jonah Barnes ( from Ward Radio )makes a compelling case for numerous apocryphal books referenced in the Book of Mormon. The Key To The Keystone is another one of those books on the Book Of Mormon that demands you look at it with new eyes. Oh, and he's really funny. It's a great read!

Journey Of Wisdom Cruise - https://www.cwicmedia.com/journey-of-wisdom What caused Lucifer to fall? What turned him? How did the War In Heaven begin? Greg suggests that Lucifer's motivation for the war was initiated by his untethered empathy and malevolent compassion for those who would lose from judgment. The Plan of Salvation produced a disparity of outcomes for the Children of God and Lucifer did not accept this "unfair" element. Matching current trends and ideologies to what we know about the War in Heaven may give us clues to confirm this assumption. Reading Moses chapter 4, we can see why Lucifer did not want judgment. He did not want disparity in outcomes for everyone and, therefore, had to remove agency. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Go And Do Travel - https://www.goanddotravel.com The Relief Society Episode Is Paused I cover some reactions to the viral episode on the Stake Relief Society LGBTQ Presentation. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Gospel On The Nile - https://www.cwicmedia.com/gospel-on-the-nile "This was Christ's Doctrine" Former General Relief Society President Julie Beck throws "truth bombs" on "Theology Of The Family," the Family Proclamation, and The Family as The Doctrine of Christ. www.cwicmedia.com

Cardio Miracle, Learn More! - https://cwic.qwkcheckout.com Diffusionism vs. Cultural Evolution The temple experience has always existed. A corrupted version can be seen throughout Egypt and other ancient societies. Cultural Evolution is founded on the process of the Hegelian Dialectic. Eventually, the dialectic attacks core, eternal truths and leaves us without anchor or objective truth. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

MOMENTUM Cruises - https://www.cwicmedia.com/momentum Joseph Smith does not make up with the temple ceremony. The Temple is about Exaltation. We don't talk about it enough. If we don't have that doctrine, then we are like every other Christian denomination. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Fathom The Good Homeschooling - https://fathomthegood.com/ Marlo Oaks and Policy Expert Margaret Byfield SENATOR Kamala Harris co-sponsored a bill to enact 30 x 30 in 2020. Will this be a focus of her administration? What is 30 x 30? It is a massive land grab by the US government in connection with the United Nations' 2030 agenda. Six days into office, the Biden Administration signed an unauthorized Executive Order to carry out 30 x 30. The US Government, Land Trusts, and several billionaires are buying up the land in the United States. Why? Website - www.cwicmedia.com

MOMENTUM Cruises 2025 - https://www.cwicmedia.com/momentum Free Book - Putting On Christ - https://www.puttingonchrist.com/cwicshow We all gain knowledge with experience in life. The scriptures tell us that our faith is built off of "evidence" and this experiential knowledge. Follow-up comments on my recent episode with Jacob Hansen on Polygamy. Also, I have invited Michelle Stone on the show. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Scripture Notes - https://scripturenotes.com/ The Visionary Men, states David Butler, are the followers of a tradition of Isaiah, perhaps even descendants of Isaiah. They are men who are anchored in the temple and write their books of scripture with the temple experience in mind. Is Lehi's Dream a temple vision that brings us, with symbols, through the three sections of the Temple of Solomon? What happened to the Tree of Life (Menorah) in the time of Hezekiah? Was it moved? Was it devalued? Dave and I talk about our interpretations of the Tree of Life. Website- www.cwicmedia.com

Scripture Notes - https://scripturenotes.com/ A lot of online buzz from several influencers stating that Joseph Smith didn't practice polygamy or support temple ceremonies. This makes no sense and shows an apparent lack of understanding of the scriptures, which are replete with temple references. Jacob Hansen has had his "ear to the ground" on this phenomenon and shares some historical points showing that Joseph Smith was very aware of polygamy. Also, that he received the revelation of Doctrine and Covenants Section 132, not Brigham Young. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

MOMENTUM Cruises - https://www.cwicmedia.com/momentum Yes, Eve was beguiled. What do the fig leaves represent? What is the "rib?" Are the curses really curses? Were Adam and Eve actually able to have kids before the fall? So many of the cultural issues we face today find their answers in the account of the Garden of Eden. Things we often disregard as obvious, much like we did with the Family Proclamation. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Fathom The Good Homeschooling Curriculum - https://fathomthegood.com/ A breakdown of Elon Musk and "X" standing firm against a Brazilian Supreme Court Judge. X has been banned in Brazil and those who access it with a VPN face daily fines of more than the average Brazilian makes in a year. Kamala Harris says Elon Musk and X have to be stopped! Free speech is being squelched in the West in a troubling trend. Even in the United States, "misinformation" and "hate speech" are used as tools for the government to bully dissidents. Kamala Harris says that Elon Musk and X have to be stopped. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

The Philosophies of Men today lead with Empathy and Compassion. The "Mormon" culture is highly susceptible to this because it has developed a high value of "niceness" in place of kindness and charity. As we continue to molten a Teddy Bear Jesus, we will continue to implement Untethered Empathy and Malevolent Compassion without righteousness or reason. We are becoming a heavily feminized society. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Global birth rates are declining. We are now lower than replacement numbers. This will cause socioeconomic problems and is one of the significant reasons for forced immigration. Righteous societies focus on marriage and family. The Book of Mormon shows that children are given as a blessing to righteous societies. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

What does it take to make a movie? I talk with Latter-day Saint filmmaker Garrett Batty about his new film, Faith of Angels, the story of a boy lost in the mines of small-town Utah. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

- The US continues to "Dechurch" at a startling rate - Are we, as Latter-day Saints, going to choose the valley with Babylon or the Shining City On A Hill? - Several statistics on Christianity are reviewed - The "God Gap" between Democrats and Republicans keeps growing Website - www.cwicmedia.com

The media does not like the Church's new Transgender Policy. In fact, they are lockstep in their propaganda approach. We briefly cover the Salt Lake Tribune, Julie Hanks, CNN, Associated Press, and NBC to give their angles. The entire media takes the same approach and repeats the same tropes. But what is not discussed is the others involved such as women and children. Not a single individual who supported the policy changes was interviewed. Not a single reason as to why they might be good. Nothing! Website - www.cwicmedia.com

The Church has updated its pronouns and transgender policy. They have clarified that social transitioning from one gender to another includes using pronouns and a name from another gender. Additionally, the ordinances of baptism and temple ordinance qualification are given. We use a Salt Lake Tribune article to go through the changes and show how the deconstruction of gender, sex, and even chromosomes is the agenda of gender ideology and how language helps accomplish this goal. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Gospel On The Nile - https://www.cwicmedia.com/gospel-on-the-nile The UK riots have pulled back the wool to reveal the growth of the authoritarian state in the UK and the European Union. Free Speech is threatened. The European Commission sends Elon Musk a threatening letter. The Book of Mormon intensely discusses free speech and freedom of religion. It is there for us to learn the lessons of the past in our day. It also teaches there is no separation between the Doctrine of Christ and Liberty. Irenaus' Law of Liberty shows the reason for agency and Liberty. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Fathom The Good Home-Schooling Curriculum - https://fathomthegood.com/ Are things getting better or are things getting worse? Your answer may determine your political philosophy. Do you believe there is an almost continual progress through time (Aufhoben), or are things breaking down. One points toward a "Utopia," and the other toward a belief in dispensationalism. The Church is caught walking the tightrope on these two arcs as seen with the RFMA. They want to protect the Church and its practices taking a more "dispensational" approach while going along with a progressive arc of time on the LGBTQ issues. A US judge declared Google an illegal monopoly. The manipulation of information on social media platforms threatens free speech. Political demographics are shifting on both sides.
