Today we welcome Greg Matsen, a believing member of the LDS Church, to talk about what the Church means to him and how he tries to live out a healthy, thoughtful approach to Mormonism.Host of the podcast Cwic Show, Greg joins us today to share his Mormon story–from growing up in a “practical” orthodox family in Southern California and serving a mission in Mexico City, to navigating marriage, parenting, and personal belief in the LDS church today.We dive into his experiences with doubt, why he believes questioning can actually strengthen faith, and what led him to start the Cwic Show on YouTube. Along the way, Greg shares his thoughts on church misconceptions, LGBTQ issues, politics, and tough questions like the role of women in the Church–all from the perspective of an active and believing member of the LDS church.We hope this episode will be beneficial to anyone trying to stay faithful to the Mormon Church, even after doubts arise.___________________YouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.  Our overall mission is to: 1. Facilitate informed consent amongst LDS Church members, investigators, and non-members regarding Mormon history, doctrine, and theology2. Support Mormons (and members of other high-demand religions) who are experiencing a religious faith crisis3. Promote healing, growth and community for those who choose to leave the LDS Church or other high demand religions

Send us a textIn this powerful episode of Calling All Christians, Jacob Hansen and Greg Matsen dive headfirst into one of the most heated conversations happening right now across Christian media: Are Latter-day Saints (Mormons) truly Christians?        We unpack the recent wave of discussions that have swept the nation—fueled by shocking events and bold public claims. From the assassination of Charlie Kirk, to the tragic attack and shooting at a Latter-day Saint chapel in Grand Blanc, Michigan, emotions and tensions are running high. Influential voices like Mark Driscoll and others have made pointed claims that “Mormons are not Christians,” fueling the flames and sparking widespread debate among believers.        Jacob and Greg respond thoughtfully and unapologetically—addressing theology, history, and the heart of discipleship. But more importantly, this conversation looks beyond division. It's a call to all believers in Jesus Christ, regardless of denomination, to stand united for a greater good in an increasingly hostile world. As culture grows darker, now is the time for followers of Christ to rally together, not tear each other apart.

Who really has a morally legitimate claim to rule the land of Israel/Palestine? How do we even determine that? With the recent bloodshed and war breaking out in Israel we would be well advised to take the time to understand what is going on and why.  Our Links  Website: http://thoughtfulfaith.org  Instagram:  / thoughtful.faith  TikTok:  / thoughtful.faith  Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1478749  DISCLAIMER: The views expressed in this video are entirely the opinion of the creator and do not necessarily reflect any officially endorsed positions of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints or channel sponsors.

“Find your Elizabeth. Find the person who sees the gifts in you and names them. That's really significant.”  — Jerusha Matsen Neal Author and professor Jerusha Matsen Neal joins us on the podcast to discuss the importance of place as we consider the spiritual implications of climate change around the world. In our world today, the effects of climate change have become more and more inescapable. But how can our own sense of place enlarge our understanding of the intricate links between us and those across the earth? Author and professor Jerusha Matsen Neal joins us on the podcast to explore a theology of place and the ways we can look at the presence of climate catastrophe with clear eyes and a faithful response. In her book Holy Ground: Climate Change, Preaching, and the Apocalypse of Place, Jerusha helps us learn from the sermons of displaced Indigenous communities in the South Pacific, exploring the effects of colonialism and inviting us into a space of learning and reflection. Jerusha and I also discuss her convictions on the power of preaching and the ways we can move forward to better the world today. In addition, Jerusha wanted listeners of this podcast who are interested in purchasing her book to know that you can get a 20% discount if you buy the book from Baylor University Press and use the promo code: 17PROMO. You can find a link to the book and the discount code in the show notes. And if you listen to the end of the credits, you'll hear an excerpt from our conversation where Jerusha shares her best advice for someone who is considering working or studying overseas. So jump right in! We're so glad you're here. — Ann Boyd For show notes or more information please visit our article at The Well.

What might be the most masculine, most powerful moment of Christ's earthy ministry? When, after passing through the host agonizing moment of all eternity, covered in blood and sacked of His strength, He protected His Apostles with three words: "I Am He." This is how Pres. Holland opens and titles his talk, and we've got Greg Matsen on to talk about it! Resources Divine Love by Pres. Russell M. Nelson

Matthew sits down with Greg Matsen from the Cwic Show to discuss Elder Patrick Kearon's first apostolic address; "God's Intent Is to Bring You Home." It's a beautiful, moving testimony to the love of God, but don't mistakenly think that Elder Kearon is downplaying our responsibilities or the divine law of justice. This is a powerful talk that fully embraced both divine mercy and divine justice. Resources This beautiful painting of mercy and justice currently hanging in the Conference Center. Joseph Smith describing language as a "little, narrow prison" Pres. Nelson, Feb 2003: "While divine love can be called perfect, infinite, enduring, and universal, it cannot correctly be characterized as unconditional. The word does not appear in the scriptures. On the other hand, many verses affirm that the higher levels of love the Father and the Son feel for each of us—and certain divine blessings stemming from that love—are conditional."

Join us as we have a discussion with Greg Matsen of  @CwicShow .  Greg has been podcasting for a little more than 4 years.  He started out focusing on the Come Follow Me topics but found he could not stay away from his passion to discuss principles and truth as it pertained to the cultural wars happening today in and outside of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  We ask Greg about some of these issues of acceptance while maintaining and standing for truth and righteousness as we understand the doctrine of the gospel as Christ taught and intended.  Be sure to check out his channel  @CwicShow and be on the look out for a book release from Greg discussing the interpretation of scriptures.  The thoughts, ideas, and beliefs we express on this channel do not officially represent The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  For additional information or official statements, please visit the website below.The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints:https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/?lang=eng#biblestudy #oldtestament #religion #churchofjesuschrist #ldspodcast #christianpodcast #missionary #lds #biblestories #christ #faith #faithinchrist #scriptures #bookofmormon #doctrineandcovenants #pearlofgreatprice #temples #houseofthelord #mormon #mormonbeliefs #chritiansandmormons #god #endure #ironrod #faithineveryfootstep #generalconference #prophets #followtheprophet #commandments #love #service #charity #keepstriving #keeponstriving #gospelgrowthandgoodtimes #become #newtestamentSupport the show

On a special episode of Mormon Media Reviews on MBR, Greg Matsen is interviewed about his channel called Cwic Show. He discusses what made him decide to start the channel and the origins of the name of the show. Steven Pynakker asked Greg why he is such a lightning rod and why he is so critical of BYU and Deseret Book. We then discuss his interviews and interactions of men who are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and are Gay. We also talk about Greg's faith and what Jesus means to him. I really hope that the audience takes the time to watch the interview and not make comments based on the thumbnail. I also want to clarify something that I said in the interview. I mentioned that Jaxon Washburn is gay, when in reality he identifies as bisexual.

We connected with Greg Matsen from CwicShow for a chat about the Spiral of Silence in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Greg is a great guy with some awesome insights. Will the Church's culture of silence get better? Or will it get worse? How does it feel to be a Gen-X-er in the Church? Is there a divide between the Gen-X-ers and the Boomers? And how do we ask for clarification from the Brethren while remaining stalwart in sustaining them?

Jeffrey Thayne, Nathaniel Givens, and Dan Ellsworth What is faith? What is knowledge and testimony? A faith crisis is a developmental event and a natural occurrence for some on a journey of faith.

Today, with the attacks on and the deconstruction of traditional families, it appears both prophetic and politically incorrect. Marriage between a man and a woman, gender roles, and the spiritual rights of children all seem like an old Disney movie.   Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com

For example, this morning Vinnie had 2 eggs with 3 yolks with some MCT oil, full fat cream in his espresso, then rode 4 hours later without re-fueling Vinnie grabbed one tiny piece of beef jerky (NSNG jerky) as he walked out the door POST-WORKOUT NUTRITION When Vinnie got off his bike, he had some salami and some hard cheese (Romano) and water Then he went to the shooting range You don't need glutamine or anything like that "Recovery Drinks" are BS Might as well not have worked out and had a candy bar instead
