Moses travels to Midian to be with Jethro then marries his daughter after meeting her at the well. In his experience on the mountain, Moses goes through a visionary, ritualistic experience similar to the temple. His rod changes to a serpent and he is healed. Even in obedience to the Lord's commandments, He tries us with adversity.   Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com  

Craig Newsome is a faithful gay member of the Church in New Zealand and a friend of mine. He offers us a gay perspective on Professor Thomas Waymeth's interpretation of the Joseph of Egypt story and talks about being a faithful gay member of the church. We talk about prioritizing identities with Child of God as number one.   Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com

This is a response to Thomas Wayment's presentation to Dialogue Journal of Mormon Thought on Joseph of Egypt as a gay prophetic character. The primary purpose of this episode is to show where Critical Social Justice is leading to within LDS scholarship and how it will arrive at the Book of Mormon. Secondarily, I give a minimal response to Professor Wayment's points of support such as the Coat of M...

Joseph - I Am Not A Victim - The 3 separated brothers, Joseph, Simeon, and Benjamin - The text continually reminds us about Joseph's dreams about ruling over his brothers. - Joseph, regardless of the situation, is never a victim and never an "accuser." - How much is the Lord involved in our lives? Is He an observer with some intervention? Or, is He involved every step of the way?   Website - https...

Fox News or MSNBC do not Reach the Values of the Gospel Based on countless comments, emails, and other communications I receive from members, for many members, their political fervor supersedes their fervor for the Gospel and for the Church. This creates a false values hierarchy that can only bring destructive consequences. Do we hold a stronger affiliation and identity with a political idea or ph...

The Church News Email Supporting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion The Church News run by Deseret News had an article about International Women's Day with several enriching stories from women leaders of the Church. However, the introduction of the article and the email header by the Church Communications Department gave a very different take and message on the day focusing instead on #BreakTheBias...

A Legacy of The Book of Mormon Did Nephi use these chapters about Joseph, his ancestor, to write his portion of the Book of Mormon? What does Joseph's coat of many colors represent? The importance of others being able to trust you. More trickery.   Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com  

Many Members Of The Church Are Confused By Those Conflating Root Out Racism with Critical Race Theory The Charge from President Nelson and President Oaks to "Root out racism" and "lead out" against prejudice does not imply support for Critical Race Theory. In fact, looking closely at President Oaks' words since President Nelson made the charge in the October 2020 General Conference, shows just the...

Jacob Separates from Esau Then Reconciles in a Covenant Theme The story of Genesis 28-33 is told in a covenantal outline. Jacob leaves Esau then reconciles with him in an "embrace", similar to an embrace at the veil. The story seems to use the meaning of the names of the children born to Jacob as anchor points. Jacob and Rachael meet at a well. More trickery.   Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com...

Trudeau and Canada Move Toward "Pre-Crime" and a Social Credit System When Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act it gave him unprecedented powers as Prime Minister. He was able to circumvent due process and the courts, compel private businesses to assist him, to detain not only the protesters but those who financially and otherwise supported the protests, and to cut them off from the modern economy....

In 1974 Neal A. Maxwell wrote a very applicable and telling article in regards to egalitarianism, equality, and secularism. It should be an anchor and reference for everyone trying to navigate the waters of Critical Race Theory, Critical Social Justice, and our changing institutions as well as parsing out a woke ideology from President Nelson's charge to "root out racism". It is telling that the p...

A recent "Whiteness" assignment from a BYU Sociology professor asks students to give examples of "whiteness" on campus. Several students give examples of Critical Race Theory exercises in class as well as CRT communications and tests.   Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com  

The Abrahamic Covenant is covered from Abraham to Isaac to Jacob. The birthright inheritance and the birthright blessing are both representations of Exaltation. Women are represented at wells and are the "throne". Jacob's story of the birthright blessing seems to be couched in Day of Atonement imagery.   Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com  

Short Excerpts from BYU Professors and Invited Guests Teachings from lectures and discussions on Gender, Critical Race Theory, Liberation Theology, Feminism, Whiteness, and many other topics. The religion of academia is alive and well at BYU. This is what is being taught at Brigham Young University. We are the biggest BYU fans, sports, academics, all of it. But what is happening at BYU is tragic....

What exactly did Brother Brad Wilcox say in his Fireside remarks? Was it racist? What does Church History teach us about the Priesthood Ban? What was BYU's knee-jerk reaction? Is there room for criticism? Why is everyone trying to cancel Brad Wilcox?   Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com  

There Is A Larger, Woke Machine At Work A careful analysis of the proposed Utah K-12 Gender Policy shows something much larger at work. While offering love, charity, and support to those who are marginalized is noble and necessary, a complete overhaul of the systems of Liberal Democracy and Western Civilization is at hand. As we change these systems we change our culture. As we amplify newly recog...

On the same day, Whoopi Goldberg and Justin Trudeau referred to race in very different ways. Whoopi diminished and even eliminated race in terms of the Jewish people and the Holocaust, while the Canadian Prime Minister amplified it in his battle against the Truck Convoy protest against COVID mandates.   Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com  

The Teacher's Unions are the new vangard for Critical Race Theory in K-12. The NEA, the larges labor union in America, last year adopted several Critical Race Theory motions, then wrote a letter to the Social Media companies asking them to silence critics of Critical Race Theory (CRT).   Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com  

We should look at Noah's Ark and contrast it to the Tower of Babel. They are both temples, one of God, the other of man. This is the same thing we get in Lehi's Dream.   Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com  

The Law of Advocacy "This is going to hurt like hell" Greg's recent stay in the ICU and Hospital.  

Martin Luther King Jr Supported American Ideals and Classical Liberalism One of the great differences between Martin Luther King Jr and the radical movements of Critical Race Theory and Antiracism today is that MLK supported American Ideals, democracy, capitalism, the US Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and Classical Liberalism. Today's radicals such as Ibram X. Kendi, Black Lives Ma...
