    Couldn’t have come at a better time. The new “Mormon Wives” show is going viral on my social feeds. This is a perfect example of manipulation. Keep doing the work of the Lord brother!

    I took Elder Bednar’s advice last year and made all my social media public.
    Sharing my countless beautiful and positive experiences as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has given me a huge amount of joy. I highly recommend being a member and talking to others about becoming a member.
    The gospel of Jesus Christ will change your life and your heart.❤

I have witnessed you being gracious in the sidelines and in your simple unseen efforts as much as those in the public eye. Thank you Parker for all you do! Russ Barlow

  • @ItsSnagret
    @ItsSnagret Před 19 dny +8

    Excellent content - indeed, it seems most faith crises are actually intellectual in nature (eg, needing to learn more about the topic, examine assumptions and sources, check intentions and motives, weigh out alternative worldviews, etc.). Without critical thinking skills, we will be swept up by the media.

  • @worldkeyvideo9080
    @worldkeyvideo9080 Před 19 dny +4

    I really appriciate this message and the importance of gaining a personal connection with deity. that is in my opinion what most people who are desieved are lacking is a lack of connection to the source of truth our savior Jesus Christ

  • @FalainglesBrasil9395
    @FalainglesBrasil9395 Před 19 dny +7

    So glad you do not monetize your channel Parker. I have a hard time taking anyone serious that monetizes religious material. It may be all done with pure intentions, but it's best to avoid the appearance of personally profiting from the Gospel.

  • @tylerahlstrom4553
    @tylerahlstrom4553 Před 19 dny +4

    Excellent video! In college, I wrote a research paper on news media bias. Some bias is completely unintentional. Child kidnappings are rare, but because they appear in the news often, people get a skewed perspective on how often it happens and guard more against that than other dangers that are more common but don’t make the news.

  • @Bookofmormoncentralofficial

    Powerful stuff! Thanks Parker for sharing this. The fact that media algorithms serve up sensationalist content first and foremost complicates people's attempts to see clearly. You have to dig so deep to actually get a fair treatment of any topic. One thing you didn't talk much about which I'd love to hear your opinion on is the major distrust of institutions (such as the Church) amongst younger demographics (such as Millenials and Gen X). Isn't this part of the reason Johnny Harris can amass millions of views on his videos about the Church and yet the most recent book of Mormon video from the Church languishes with a few thousand views? Thanks for all you do.

    I’m glad you don’t monetize your religious videos- there are several who do, and I have a hard time separating it from Priestcraft
    One Mormon podcast immediately comes to mind- a CZcams/ podcast that constant asks for donations/ Venmo/ support the shop etc…and sells 57-85 dollar baseball hats with their logo
    How is this not priestcraft? - and there motivation will always be “clicks for dollars”

    Critical Thinking Trap (CS Lewis):
    "He [the devil] always sends errors into the world in pairs-pairs of opposites. And he always encourages us to spend a lot of time thinking which is the worse. You see why, of course? He relies on your extra dislike of the one error to draw you gradually into the opposite error." (Mere Christianity)
    Popular pundits and politicians also understand this tactic of pitting one error against another, and they use it on us to their own profit and promotion.

    @tylerluderitz_ Před 18 dny

    40:06 Genuine question, how can you know what you’re receiving is the truth? Jeremiah 17:9 says “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” If what Jeremiah was saying was true, how could I possibly believe my own personal revelation to be the correct truth? In his letter to the Corinthians, Paul writes that “Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” How would I know if what I’m receiving is from God or from Satan?

    • @austinhanks6060
      @austinhanks6060 Před 18 dny

      This is a great question. Parker's video references an Elder Renlund talk "A Framework for Personal Revelation" that gives related guidance. We can check what we're receiving against the framework:
      Am I feasting on the words of Christ, and how does what I'm receiving compare against them?
      Is what I'm receiving something within my stewardship to control or decide on?
      What commandments have I covenanted to keep and how does what I'm receiving compare against them?
      What answers am I confident that I've already received that I can build on?

  • @kylethedalek

    I have met people who really put up a good argument against this idea.
    I said everyone is influenced, a product of their environment, and such.
    I can’t remember exactly what they said but they basically put up a good argument how they aren’t.
    And it’s also maybe their experience or something (again ironic I can’t remember.).
    So apologies!

    I loved this video but it seems its unavoidable to force a form of thought on people through media..... for example you are mormon so you are going to post things pro mormon and go against things not pro mormon or christian denominations that have a different belief or doctrine than mormon beliefs..... which I am not giving you a hard time about that, I respect your beliefs and your body of work.... but it seems impossible not to control perspectives through media...

      Yes, everyone is biased, and it's important to keep that in mind when viewing, and look for people to watch who try to temper their biases. The main issue with a lot of media is that they're acting on and enforcing their biases. It's not just the natural flaws of man, but a concerted effort to push an agenda, such as making Joe Rogan look sickly, or filming in front of a tightly packed crowd that ends with the camera's edge. You should always view a broad spectrum of opinions, but try your best to only follow honest sources.
