Cwic Media- LDS Podcast / Latter-day Saints Greg Matsen

When Elder Kearon was called as an apostle, there was a contingent of members who were happy due to his focus on grace. Many hailed his recent General Conference talk as "a radical new repositioning of grace" and, unfortunately, took a cafeteria approach to the talk, only seeing one soothing side.
But his fantastic talk was complete in its doctrine. This "grace movement" has its own geist. And many are caught up in it. It elevates the comfort, feel-good therapeutic gospel while ignoring the doctrine of Exaltation. That doctrine is ultimately the Doctrine of Christ.

Francis Sombato is a member of the Church in Ghana, Africa. He gives a glimpse of what it is like to be a member of the Church there. They usually walk and hour and a half to church on Sundays unless they have enough money to get a cab that week.
There is so much growth in Ghana and you can see why with individuals like Francis.

Erica Komisar is speaking truth backed by physical and social science. Turns out, infants need their mothers. Infants detached from their mothers have an increase in cortisol, the stress hormone. This can cause increases in anxiety and depression later in life. Is this one of the causes of the spike in mental illness?
"We're in the Upside Down." We treat very young children as if they are much older and capable than they are. We treat older children as if they are not capable and don't allow them any freedom or free play time . . . We need to reverse this."
Boys are feminized in our schools. We treat their energy as bad behavior and don't allow more physical activities to release it. Schools are built today for girls. Boys have high surges in testosterone between the ages of 3-6 years old, and we often treat this with medication.

Dan Ellsworth and Jeff Bennion discuss the difference between Misguided Empathy/Malevolent Compassion and Charity. Is empathy/compassion a positive virtue, or does it depend on how it is used? Charity focuses on Eternal purposes, while Empathy can be used for a short-term "win." It is often weaponized by activists.
Data must be correct. We then pass it through narratives (Information), which must be tested before becoming "Knowledge." We often hold data in a narrative, many of which are like viruses. They are corrupt versions of the truth. We use examples of LGBTQ issues in our culture and church to put through Dan and Jeff's "systems" of knowledge.

Yesterday, on Maundy Thursday, King Charles gave an address very similar to King Benjamin in the Book of Mormon. This is not a coincidence. Kings and Queens have always had a contract/covenant with the people to act as representatives of God and to have the people follow suit. King Charles refers to Jesus washing the feet of the disciples, while King Benjamin is likely referring to a tradition of temple drama and coronation.
