Episodes
Misguided Empathy Is Destroying Families, Culture, and Church
4/16/2024
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.

King Charles Mimics King Benjamin - An Easter Message
3/29/2024
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.

What Happened To Exaltation? The Slippery Slope From Eternal Laws To A Prosperity Gospel
3/28/2024
This is a fascinating discussion! Bruce Porter's current research is on a hierarchy of Eternal Law all the way down to Principles and Policies. Bruce gives it straight and direct as per usual.
Have we culturally become communicators of Principles in place of Eternal Laws in the Church? To me, this is obvious. How often do we hear about Exaltation anymore or Eternal Truths such as Mercy Cannot Rob Justice? Are Doctrines truths? Are the Commandments doctrine? This is a great analysis and discussion on truth vs. culture in the Church.

Feminism, Power, And The Role Of Women In The Church (feat. Meagan Kohler)
3/27/2024
Isaiah Institute "Day of Reckoning" Conference - https://www.bookofmormonisaiah.com/conference
Like the rest of Western society, Meagan Kohler highlights how many see the role of women in the Church through a prism of power (Critical Theory). But the numbers supporting these views may be smaller than you think.
On a recent Relief Society broadcast, Sister J. Annette Dennis stated, "The adversary wants us to focus our attention on what we haven't been given and blind us to all that we have been given." She also said, "There is no other religious organization in the world that I know of that has so boldly given power and authority to women." Needless to say, this caused quite a stir among those who, as stated above, see the Church through a prism of power and a feminist worldview.

Isaiah Predicts Our Time With Precision
3/16/2024
Be sure to register for this significant virtual conference, "A Day Of Reckoning" on March 30, 2024 here - https://www.bookofmormonisaiah.com/conference
Isaiah prophesies using the conflicts and decay of civilizations in his time. This is what enamors the writings of Isaiah to Nephi. Nephi saw in vision his own people going through the same decay. Are we to do the same. Will we arrive at "A Day of Reckoning?" The destruction of the family, sexual liberation, feminism, and malevolent compassion are found in Isaiah's writings.
Be sure to join the Isaiah Institute in their virtual conference, "A Day Of Reckoning," on the Book of Isaiah. I will be watching!

Interfaith's Difficult Path - Latter-day Saints and Evangelicals
2/22/2024
Creating Interfaith relationships can be very difficult. We all want to be "right." We naturally and appropriately want to defend our beliefs. But if we all focus on "I'm right, " we spiral into debate and argument. For those of you with "mixed" religious families, you may know precisely what I'm talking about.
Stepping into this space means you will take arrows from not only the other faith but from your own. In this episode, Evangelical Steven Pynakker and Latter-day Saint Greg Matsen flesh out these issues and other dynamics between Evangelicals and Latter-day Saints.

Wokeness And Belief In God (feat. Jacob Hansen )
2/19/2024
If you have no belief in God, would you naturally become "woke?" After watching my interview with James Lindsay, Jacob Hansen had some questions. Why do many who do not believe in God shun wokeness? With its secular, Godless roots, Jacob asks why an atheist would not embrace it.
We discuss the philosophical roots of Woke, go into atheism, and finally discuss Expressive Individualism. Enjoy!

Woman Caught In Adultery Understood Through The Brazen Serpent
2/19/2024
Many have taken the account of the Woman Caught In Adultery to show that Jesus does not judge here when He says, "neither do I condemn thee." Others cite his response to "go, and sin no more." However, there is an underlying meaning found in the themes of John's Gospel, especially with the Brazen Serpent.
Hint - It's not what you think.

Re-Education Courses And Blacklisted For Calling a Transwoman A Man
2/15/2024
Alarming story! As a congressman in Mexico, Rodrigo Ivan Cortez was fined, put on a blacklist, and assigned re-education courses for saying that a man was a man and a woman was a woman. In the sentencing, he was cited as being "white," a man, heterosexual, and a Christian. Ironically, these are immutable characteristics protected under a universally applicable, or so was though, Mexican Constitution.
This sentencing comes from policy created at the United Nations and adopted by lawmakers. Much of this policy actually comes from the United States who exports these ideas to the UN and in turn, affects individuals and families like Rodrigo.

Is Nephi's Tree Jesus Or Heavenly Mother? Isaiah's King In A Different Light - feat. David Butler
2/4/2024
Plain and Precious Things Author David Butler and I discuss Nephi's Tree of Life and Isaiah's King and Vision. Dave gives a breakdown of Josiah's reforms with some of the underlying Hebrew text to the Old Testament, as well as insights on Isaiah's vision of the seraphim and the coal.
David and I think along very similar lines. He has spent decades digesting the scriptures and though he is a lay scholar, he has an important voice. These discussions are always a feast and Dave's insights are compelling and faithful.
