Cwic Media- LDS Podcast / Latter-day Saints

The recent Cuban protests shine a light on a message that the media often does not want to share- protesting against Marxism. Ibram Kendi, a Critical Race Theorist, used the example of Castro's victory fighting against the "vicious American military" as hope for a new American Revolution as well. What would Kendi's America look like? Senator Mark Rubio speaks in the senate and I use his words to m...

BYU has already added several courses based on the suggestions from the Committee on Race, Equity and Belonging. Will this be a good thing? The problem is the manner in which they are taught. Critical Pedagogy is likely in these courses and Critical Theory is specifically outlined as the way they will be taught.   Webstite- https://www.cwicmedia.com  

In an article entitled, "How Critical Race Theory Helps us Follow Jesus," a BYU Professor and a member of the Church, uses scripture and the words of Jesus, and the words of President Hinckley, President Nelson, and President Oaks to build a case that the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ is compatible with CRT. Listen with us as we review the article and show its obvious errors while helping member...

"Becoming and Degrees" The level to which we become like Christ will determine the "Glory" we can withstand and enjoy. Agency is directly tied to these kingdoms and that is why the fall of Lucifer is outlined to start the vision. Joseph Smith and Sydney Rigdon speak directly with Jesus Christ and ask, "What do I see?".   Website- https://www.cwicmedia.com   Come Follow Me LDS Doctrine and Covenant...

Critical Theory as a whole is a major threat to the Church and to the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. In this episode, we focus on the way many of the academics of Postmodern Critical Theory describe their own ideology and activism as a virus. And this is exactly how it has played out.   Website- https://www.cwicmedia.com  

"Victim vs. Victory" Joseph Smith's massive project of "translating" the Bible never ends. We are all to be stewards in the Lord's vineyards. We are to work and not be idle. Joseph Smith is sustained and ordained President of the High Priesthood. Victimhood is the opposite of Victory. The Lord, though a victim, overcame the world in victory.   Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com   Come Follow Me L...

As was predicted, some professors at BYU are already starting to teach the students that President Nelson's words are the same as Ibram Kendi's words and go along with Critical Race Theory. Ibram Kendi is a radical who fights against liberal democracy and capitalism. He wants us to model Marxists such as Angela Davis, and his "antiracism" is nothing more than a pretty word for "radical activist"....

Blake Smith is a faithful Latter-day Saint with same sex attraction (SSA). In the '70s, he went through electroshock aversion therapy at BYU-I (then Ricks College). This was a common practice throughout the country. He has been happily married to his wife for 17 years. Blake provides informative insights on what it is like to be in the Church, live the law of chastity, and have same sex attraction...

"Weak = Lower, Strong = Higher" Joseph Smith is not as educated or eloquent as many of the Elders around him. The Lord chooses Joseph and "weak things" over the sophistication of man. He has us pass through the Lower Law first, then the Higher Law. In this episode of Come Follow Me LDS, The Cwic Interpreter of The Higher and Lower Laws is used in these sections as well as the Royal Procession. Web...

This episode pulls from the words of President Nelson, President Oaks, and others in recent speeches on race that are stark contrasts to the tenets of Critical Race Theory. We should distinguish between "forming better race relations" and Critical Race Theory. They are not the same. President Nelson speaks of race within the context of "Gathering Israel" and President Oaks speaks of the sin of rac...

This Come Follow Me LDS episode covers the Higher and the Lower Laws in Sections 64-66. Eve was beguiled with the promise that "death" would not occur. This "death" is judgment. Joseph Smith describes Daniels "stone" as a grindstone. Believers in the Book of Mormon grow the grindstone. Preparing the way (lower law) for the Royal Procession (Second Coming) of Christ.   Website - https://www.cwicmed...

In a historic press conference, the NAACP and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, solidified their partnership with new initiatives and words of solidarity and coming to Christ. President Russel M. Nelson, President and CEO of the NAACP, Derrick Johnson, also the president of the UNCF, and Amos C. Brown with some earthshaking comments.   This avenue of racial brotherhood is the antith...

"Assemblyman Kevin Kiley" A new Ethnic Studies High School curriculum has been approved by the California Board of Education. Its focus is "Critical Race Theory" and creating new radical activists out of California Teenagers. This is not Martin Luther King or Civil Rights, this is about activism and indoctrination. And it's much worse than you think.   Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com  

"Taking the Lord's Name" In this episode we see immediately in verse 1 what the Lord's message will be to the members of the church. He distinguishes between those who really are the "people of the Lord" and those who "call themselves the people of the Lord." Naturally, he explains the difference by talking about faith preceding a sign and then makes reference to the Parable of the Ten Virgins. Ta...

"A Woke LDS Jesus?" Liberation Theology and new "Christologies" are making their way through Christianity and to the doorstep of the Latter-day Saints. It's happening at the personal, family, and ward levels. How to recognize when Critical Race Theory is being brought up and how Liberation Theology is likely at its root.

Representative Steve Christiansen is the sponsor for HR 901 detailing the restriction of "race essentialism", a part of Critical Race Theory, being taught in Utah public schools. We cover the spread of Critical Race Theory in public schools nationwide, how Resolution 901 fits with the First Amendment and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. We also cover the status of other state legislative initiatives...

"Body Record" Joseph Smith, W.W. Phelps, and other Elders make their way to Ohio from Independence by way of canoes on the Missouri River. The Lord yet again refers to the Parable of the Talents. W.W. Phelps sees "the Destroyer" in "all his power" on the waters. "Waters" have often been a symbol of chaos and evil in the Old Testament in the Creation story, the flood, and with the Leviathan. Ancien...

As we observe the fruits of Critical Race Theory in several Christian denominations, we become aware of some of what might happen as it begins its entrance in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Liberation Theology changes Christ to a victim liberator over oppressors. The three Proclamations appear to be confirmation on doctrine to help guide us as pernicious ideologies and ideas ente...

"Agents Unto Themselves" With the focus moving to Missouri, Joseph Smith and the early Saints now have a place for Zion. The Lord teaches them that they are to "work" and obey to create and build Zion and they will be rewarded accordingly. Sidney Rigdon dedicates Jackson County and Joseph Smith lays the cornerstone for the temple and dedicates the temple grounds. Website - https://www.cwicmedia.co...

"What is Codependency?" In this intriguing discussion, Nick Galieti and Jennifer Roach discuss their book, Codependent Discipleship. We discuss the interrelationship of codependency with God and with the church, as well as codependency with others. Codependency can be a type of counterfeit charity. Those with codependency "need" others to need them and then much of their purpose becomes to fix oth...

"Stewards, Talents, and Consecration" The Law of Consecration is the higher law designed for Zion and a Promised Land. Getting there is a matter of becoming "one" as a people. The Parable of the Talents can teach us how we should be living the Law of Consecration today and how we can be increasing the "spiritual silver" that the Lord has given us by helping others.

As members of the church, we stand in a unique place in history. The opportunity before us is to "gather Israel". However, with the modern connection between peoples and races, there are ideologies that seek to further divide us. Critical Race Theory is one of these. Critical Race Theory and its fruits of Intersectionality, Anti-Racism, and "Whiteness" have been adopted by many at BYU and formal i...

One night, John Renouard had a dream. A vivid dream. He saw a man-powered drill that could reach remote parts of the world and supply water to these villages. Today, the Village Drill has supplied water to over seven million people in 36 different countries. We cover the story of the Village Drill, the effects on villages in Africa, and the unique way WHOlives partners with the villages.   https:/...

"Idols and Spirits" Doctrine and Covenants Sections 49-50 are similar to what we find with the Children of Israel who were wandering in the desert. They encountered other "religions" and "gods" that were not of Jehovah. The Shakers had some unique beliefs that the Lord, through Joseph Smith, refuted, such as celibacy, shaking, and dismissing baptism and marriage. We learn through these sections th...

In 2020 a whopping 68% of all in-home television viewing came from streaming apps. Notorious for their lack of parental controls and lax attitude toward exposing kids to harmful content, the big streaming companies refuse to help parents by modifying their viewing options. Melissa Henson from The Parents Television and Media Council joins Cwic Show to discuss her recent research report on Netflix,...
