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

Isaiah Institute Virtual Conference - https://isaiahconference.com/join Massive gender gap skewed toward women, rising costs, $1.7 Trillion in student debt, leftist professors. What is going on with our universities? We delve into the numbers to bring you the facts. Website - 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. Website- www.cwicmedia.com

A Pastor recites the "Sparkle Creed" with her congregation. It is a ridiculous, though telling, manifestation of Christianity's awful state. As the viruses of the Philosophies of Men, such as identitarianism and tolerance, creep further and further into the culture, they naturally infect Christianity and the West and slowly but surely "sicken" them to a breaking point. The Pride movement and the new battle against judgment require a change in God's nature—a new image that is in our own. Changing God's image allows us to stay as who we are and weakens the need for the Atonement of Jesus Christ. At its core, it is a lack of responsibility. The Children of Israel rejected seeing "the face of God" and climbing Sinai as Moses did. They brought God down to them instead (the Golden Calf). Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Prophets have warned about the "mask of tolerance," yet Latter-day Saints and all of Christianity seem to be sliding down the muddy, slippery slope from Charity to Tolerance. To accomplish this, such a movement requires a change in the meaning of words and language, a change in the Nature of God, and a deconstruction of the Plan of Salvation. And that's what's happening.

Corporate Transparency Act Rifle Roundup Fundraiser - https://savetheranchers.com/ Robert Gouveia may be the detailed researcher of US politics online. He scrutinizes everything and digs deep into the documents. He has developed a very large following. In this episode, we dig deep into the Trump Assassination attempt to see the holes, errors, lack of competence, and mishaps that allowed a young shooter to have a relatively short and direct line of sight to the former President. Miscues, lack of resources, and incompetence all contributed. Webstie - www.cwicmedia.com

Fathom The Good - https://fathomthegood.com/ The IOC lied at first, but then, due to several social media posts from the performers of the "Last Supper" mockery, walked it back and apologized. This is an intentional "queering" of a sacred event to millions of Christians. The two questionable Olympic boxers ARE indeed male. The language and cultural breakdown of gender and sex aside, XY chromosomes are what they are. We need to parse out the Pride agenda and ideology from actually caring for LGBTQ individuals. All are children of God. But don't put your head in the sand on this movement. It is anti-Christ and anti-family. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Navigating The Philosophies Of Men Cruise (Surviving a Woke World With Gospel Principles) - https://www.cwicmedia.com/philosophies-of-men-cruise Our culture has shifted so quickly that it's hard to recognize our institutions from just 15 years ago. Men can be women, women can be men, and reality seems to be getting sucked into a black hole. One of our biggest problems is education, which appears to have changed its purpose from teaching skills to teaching wokeness. Bruce Porter and Greg Matsen discuss the absurdity of the new ideologies that fight against reason and eternal truths. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

We are moving toward the national and political character of a Banana Republic. Truth is hard to find. The signal among the noise is buried deeply in rhetoric. Transparency to the people does not exist. We have developed a managerial and political class that has separated itself from the people. Lockstep lies are the norm. The increasing lack of trust in American institutions is a major part of our political division. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Hayden Paul, from the Stick of Joseph, and his wife Savannah discuss gender roles, how our culture targets the family, and how they have been affected by these "philosophies of men" in their lives. How does the Family Proclamation stand up against our current culture? Website - www.cwicmedia.com

There has been much criticism of the Indian Placement Program conducted in the last century, but so many participants have confirmed their positive experiences with it. In this episode, Betty LaFontaine, a child participant in the program, gives a detailed account of her experiences in the program and what it has meant to her. How did she hold on to her own culture? What kind of relationship did and does she have with the foster families she spent so much time with? Website - www.cwicmedia.com

The term "Liberation" has been appropriated to mean the opposite of Liberty. Liberty fights for agency, the Doctrine of Christ, and the Order of God. Liberation fights against all these things. The War in Heaven may first be about the disparity that agency creates. Seeing the disparity, Lucifer concludes that he must remove agency from God's plan and "Liberate" mankind from judgment. In juxtaposition, Jehovah, representing the Plan of the Father, fights for Liberty and agency and offers Himself as the atoning sacrifice. Liberty and the Doctrine of Christ are inextricably connected in the Book of Mormon. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Philosophies Of Men Cruise - https://www.cwicmedia.com/philosophies-of-men-cruise How has American history changed over the last 100 years? Who writes that history, and what narratives do those historical authors adopt? Is American History built primarily on a Greco-Roman philosophical chassis, or is Christianity at its core? What role has "covenant" played in the founding of America? How did the Protestant Reformation open the door for democracy? We also discuss the inextricable connection between liberty and the Doctrine of Christ oultined in the Book of Mormon, Hannah Stoddard covers these topics with passionate, articulate arguments gained from her research. Hannah is the director of the Joseph Smith Foundation and often speaks about the founding of America. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

The presidential debate exposed President Biden and his handlers as unfit and incompetent to be president of the United States. Will the Democrats force him out of the campaign? I think so. You cannot come back from this. Will they ever put Biden back on camera? Even if it has nothing to do with the campaign? In addition, the decay of our political system is exposed, showing the political haves and have-nots. Website - www.cwidmedia.com

Philosophies Of Men Cruise - https://www.cwicmedia.com/philosophies-of-men-cruise A transwoman shot and killed his parents. The police and the media said they were looking for a woman who was "ARMED AND DANGEROUS." Residents in the area thought they were looking for a woman. These pernicious ideologies deconstruct our own identity, and this has consequences. Reality rears its ugly head even when we pretend or stick our heads in the sand. Gender and Sex have been separated, but that is not the end goal. The end goal of identitarianism is to completely break down sex as well as masculinity and femininity. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

"We are not reflecting the Book of Mormon; the Book of Mormon is reflecting us." Chief David Midegah of the Great Lakes Area Ojibwe, or Anishinaabe people, discusses prophecies of his people that date back generations. He has also corroborated some of their teachings directly with Jewish Rabbis who have declared these native teachings to be in alignment with the Laws of Noah. Many of his people's teachings are in oral form, but many come from written scrolls. Some of these surprisingly (or not) align with the teachings of the Restored Gospel. Also, how temple and lodge practices align. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Wayne May's Conference and Website - https://www.ldsarchaeology.com/events/ Wayne May's research concludes that the Adena people are the Jaredites. Archaeologists now say that they are the mound builders, and the Hopewell used and added to the mounds as they moved north from Florida. Wayne says that the Hopewell, which lived from 550 BC to 400 AD, are the Nephites. He points to numerous stone tablets found in the mounds with Paleo-Hebrew written on them, as well as the descriptions of the fortifications matching from the Book of Mormon.

Jeff McCullough, Kurt Francom and Greg Matsen discuss their personal interfaith efforts between Evangelical Protestants and Latter-day Saints. Website - www.cwicmedia.com
