Cwic Media- LDS Podcast / Latter-day Saints

DBR, Order, Ordinance, and Ordain Joseph Smith talks of the "deep water" of opposition becoming a "second nature" to him. He glories "in tribulation like Paul. The role and Doctrine of Christ are not as a liberator from earthly oppressors, but as a liberator (Savior) of over sin for personal progression of individuals, families, and Zion.  Baptisms for the dead are part of our participation in Isa...

"Liberty" and The Doctrine of Christ The exchange between Joseph Smith and the Lord in Liberty Jail should be seen through the lens of the Doctrine of Christ. What was the Lord teaching Joseph and what does He teach us? It's not always the circumstances that need to change but rather us that need to change.   Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com  

Many in the media call this action in New York City a menial occurrence. But the media also said in 2017 that the removal of Confederate statues would not lead to the founding fathers like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. They are wrong again. This is part of a national plan by supporters of CRT and Critical Social Justice to "reset" the founding of America.   Website - https://www.cwicmedi...

What was the significance of Elder Holland's BYU speech and when it comes to the family, what is doctrine? In Patrick's new book, Proclaim Peace, how should we look at conflict?

The Higher and the Lower Laws show us that the "treasure" to be found in Salem, Massachusetts was not a physical treasure, but the spiritual treasure of souls. The Doctrine of Christ is outlined through submission and humility, to lower oneself and to be exalted by God. This is represented by the Tree of Life in Lehi's Dream. Those that raise themselves up will fall. They are represented by the Gr...

In this Washington Post Magazine article, the author creates a narrative that depicts a conflict between "bottom-up" revelation and "top-down" revelation. The article, while well written, assumes that the Church should react to the people's desire for change. Those interviewed expect that the Doctrine of the Family and temple marriage will change.   Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com  

"Where Have All The Men Gone?" We have arrived at a point where for every man that graduates from college, nearly two women will graduate. This is not only a problem for men but for women as well. Girls and women dominate scholastic leadership roles, student government, college admissions, valedictorians, and diplomas. And there is no reversal in sight. The only group this helps, are the highly ed...

The NFL is playing the Black National Anthem before games. Why is there a push to have two National Anthems? What is the purpose? Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Intersectionality are the engines behind this push. They seek to tear down liberal democracy by breaking us into groups and reforming our institutions. America was built for all. That means "assimilation" for all to its principles of freed...

The University of Washington begins a new "Critical Librarianship" program indoctrinating librarians and stating that libraries are about power and privilege.

"Checks and Balances" The General Priesthood and organization of the Church has a built-in "checks and balances" similar to the US Constitution. There are three quorums that can "check" each other with a unanimous vote.  Section 107 provides great detail for the Higher and Lower Laws administered by the Melchizedek and Aaronic Priesthoods.   Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com  

With works and grace, and personal responsibility and comfort, the gospel pendulum seems to be rapidly swinging toward the latter. But a "Teddy Bear" Jesus is not the answer nor is it the true Doctrine of Christ. "Comfort" is turning to victimhood and resentment, forming victim groups and expecting Jesus Christ to be the "liberator" of such griefs. This turns the gospel into a "Therapy" Gospel cod...

The Plan of Salvation asks us to all be "saviors of men." God is not just a "Healer" or a therapist. The Plan is for us to become like Him, not just to be "fixed." As we receive more light, we are to shine that light for others. This is why those at the Tree of Life do not gather and store the fruit for themselves, rather, they partake of it. This signifies that they become like the Tree. They are...

Agreement and disagreement on Elder Holland's BYU Speech.  Ben Pacini is a teacher at BYU-Idaho and the host of the "Radical Civility" podcast. We discuss the speech, Critical Race Theory in schools, save spaces in schools, and the role of civility in disagreement in the Church. It was a great conversation.   Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com  

A strong tenet of Postmodernism is a "Lived Experience." In reality, it is a hijacking of knowledge. The arrival of "Deconstruction" and "Lived Experience" have already arrived in mainstream creedal Christianity and are wreaking havoc.  This episode shows how this may show up in a Latter-day Saint context and how it can be used perniciously with our testimonies. Also, three different ways (epistem...

In an ever-increasing polarization of politics, how will the Church create dialogue? What does it mean to be "civil within the Church? How do we avoid political extremities and keep a dialogue on issues? Just a few thoughts on what I'm hearing.   Website- https://www.cwicmedia.com  

"The Law of Liberty" Oddly, the Lord lifts up the banner of the US Constitution exactly when it is failing the early saints. He speaks of the "principle of freedom" within the Constitution and says that is should be given to all of mankind. We also see how agency plays a role in these sections, the "Law of Liberty" from Irenaeus, and the gathering of Israel is temple-centered.   Website- https://w...
