Andrew Young has worked for XBox, DreamWorks, and other kids entertainment companies. He has seen firsthand how deliberate decisions to insert specific scenes and vocabulary take place. We talk about his experiences and why they choose to deliver these messages under a cloak. I've seen Andrew give examples from The Lego Movie, Frozen, and many others. He shows how these movies use "social engineer...

Matt was a tough kid and a good friend. Despite getting in a fistfight with him, he bailed me out of several bad situations. I got "Stories For Boys" from U2   Website - www.cwicmedia.com  

Val and I had a great discussion last week on the symbolism and context of Lehi's Dream. This is a follow-up to that episode. Here, we cover the symbolism and context of Nephi's vision which tag teams with Lehi's Dream. This is amazing stuff! We talk about the Tree of Life symbolism as the Divine Feminine, or Heavenly Mother, along with the loss of the "Plain and Precious Things" of which is the p...

Rod Meldrum is one of the original "Heartlanders." Rod talks about starting his research into DNA, the Hopewell tribes, as well as the battle between the "Heartland" model and the Mesoamerican model. What does the DNA show? What of the mounds? Does the Hopewell civilization match the Book of Mormon dates? Website - www.cwicmedia.com  

God's "Patriarchy" is part of what was lost in the time of Lehi, the Plain and Precious things. It is restored in 1 Nephi 1, Moses 1, and Abraham 3. It is the council of the Gods that we participate in. Interfaith work is different from missionary work. For those who don't have this experience, it is difficult not to fall into a missionary mindset. But there is goodness to be had in creating relat...

Where do you, the listener, stand on covid, truth, and conspiracy? Was the virus leaked from the Wuhan Lab? Was it leaked on purpose? What is to be made of the pharmaceutical patents on the vaccines before the pandemic? John Hewlett, a friend and a sponsor of Cwic Show, is in tight with David Martin, who just addressed the European Union, Judy Mikovits, and others who are giving a very different s...

Fathom The Good - http://www.fathomthegood.com Val Larsen and I think a lot alike. I could talk to Val about the Book of Mormon and the Old Testament for hours. This is just one of those hours. We discuss the two religions of Lehi's Jerusalem and Lehi and Nephi. And the insights on Lehi's Dream are essential and poignant. We show that Laman and Lemuel were religious, just to another religion. The...

God has a Patriarchy. It is His order, priesthood, and word. Abraham chapter 3 helps define this Patriarchy with the parallelism of cosmology and spirits. This is the "DBR" of God. Kolob is simply the beginning of the order. When Lehi says, "There must be opposition in all things," he is not speaking of just opposites. He is speaking of everything in between. This allows for order, truth, and hier...

Jennifer Roach has some fascinating research and statistics on abuse in the Church that puts a wrench in the popular narrative that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has an oversized abuse problem. Is the Church just trying to protect itself with its "Hotline?" What about the new mandatory background checks in the UK and some US states? Are they wise? And should the Church continue t...

A couple of weeks ago, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints again issued a statement on its political neutrality. Will the Church be able to hold onto this neutrality as the world moves further away from gospel principles? Does this mean the members of the Church need to be politically neutral? My good friend, Ralph Hancock, got his Ph. D. in political philosophy from Harvard and has be...

Scripture Notes - www.scripturenotes.com Last week, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals opened the door for the once-dead James Huntsman fraud lawsuit against The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. That lawsuit was filed and dismissed by a judge in 2021. Now it's back on the table. What is tithing? Can tithing dollars be used for humanitarian aid? This and Gordon B. Hinckley's statements on...

The Women's Scar Experiment tells us much about ourselves and how Critical Social Justice works. As we hyperfocus on both immutable and mutable characteristics of others, we will find behaviors of oppression or supremacy where they don't exist. This is a fascinating study. President Nelson's Identity Hierarchy is the antidote to this pernicious and Maoist type of thinking. Fathom The Good - www.fa...

Try Scripture Notes! - https://scripturenotes.com Critical Theory is built as a virus to destroy everything precious or part of the Order of God. It is the secular tool to destroy your spirit. Its tenets and praxis (activism) change one's entire world and worldview. Latter-day Saint academics are already presenting a "Critical" approach to the Book of Mormon. We give examples of a Latter-day Saint...

Join Greg on the Liberty & The Doctrine of Christ Tour - https://www.cwicmedia.com/liberty-doctrine-of-christ-tour In this episode, we bring back my good friend Bruce Porter, one of the most knowledgeable individuals I know. We talk about where the "Promised Land" of the Book of Mormon is, the politics of the Book of Mormon, and the role of liberty. Packed with scripture, this episode is enlighten...

Scripture Notes - https://scripturenotes.com  Exodus 32 seems to point toward Jehovah as the Golden Calf. If so, we can look at the Children of Israel as not being willing to rise up Sinai to "see the face of God" like Moses. Rather, they bring God down to their level and mold Him into their own image with their own hands. We can see their golden earrings as the philosophies of men or the current...

Privileged women are more susceptible to draw of Critical Social Justice due to Unbridled Compassion, guilt, and shame. "Critiquing" is the process of breaking down and changing. We see this with Identity and with The Family. Critical Theory forces you to decide between victim and oppressor. Ultimately, with the Religion of Academia, you have to change God into your own image. A new idol. This is...

"We have these conversations BECAUSE we are different." What is Salvation? Reaction to Book of Mormon Verses H ow might Protestants see the temple as "Works?" Once "Saved" always Saved?  Latter-day Saints have different meanings of Salvation What role do "covenants" play in Salvation? What role works play in judgment? What about the parables of Jesus? How do works play a role in His teachings?   W...

In the just-released movie, Sound Of Freedom, Jim Cavieizel plays Tim Ballard as a Homeland Security agent who leaves his job to help trafficked kids around the world. It is moving and a must-see! We talk about the movie and Tim's real-life experience with this evil along with his organization, Operation Underground Railroad. We also discuss Tim's books on the American Covenant where the founding...

Jacob Hess and C D Cunningham have written an article in the Deseret News on why it is important to see Critical Social Justice as a new religion. While I have stated for years that this IS a new religion, there are some dicey points made that need to be discussed. I am joined by Jacob Hess to discuss his article. Does an "interfaith" approach work with this kind of ideology? How does this play ou...

A little bit of static first few minutes. In 2022, Utah State Treasurer Marlo Oaks divested state funds out of BlackRock holdings as he learned more about their commitment to ESG, a corporate social credit system. Marlo discusses how ESG can affect large companies' decisions like hiring Dillan Mulvaney at Bud Light. Also, how ESG can undermine both shareholders and consumers and how this is a figh...

Walk - No, pride and Identitarianism are not in regression. The long march through the institutions. Yes, Eve was beguiled   Website - www.cwicmedia.com  

If you have followed this channel, you know that I have stated over the years that in Lehi's Dream, the most likely building represented by the Great and Spacious Building, is the Temple at Jerusalem. Understanding why one might think this helps frame the launching of the Book of Mormon. It's all about Jesus Christ and the mass corruption in the Temple of Solomon by the Deuteronomists at the time...

Another great discussion! Pastor Jeff McCullough and Latter-day Saint Greg Matsen discuss the Garden of Eden. A few months ago, I sat down with Jeff to ask him about his understanding of the Garden of Eden. It was obvious to me that this was an area that needed to be discussed and that it offers the framework to better understand many of the core differences in our theologies. We agreed to sit dow...
