Brad was (is?) a professor at BYU in the department of Ancient Scripture. He's spoken several times during their weekly devotionals. He is also a celebrity of sorts among the youth and speaks all over the church as kind of a motivational speaker. In April of 2023, he was called as the First Counselor in the YM General Presidency.

Thanks, but no thanks. I'll refrain from watching more than that collective clip. That was bad enough. He's obviously very wrong and scripture doesn't even come close to supporting what he's saying.Reluctant Watchman wrote: ↑September 21st, 2023, 10:23 amThe entire fireside is online... and much of it is in this same vein.LateOutOfBed wrote: ↑September 21st, 2023, 10:18 amRight?

Brad is exactly the person the church wants in this position. His language is very much aligned w/ the youth nomenclature, and he checks the boxes for a slightly effeminate male that can relate both to young effeminate men and girls alike.Robin Hood wrote: ↑September 21st, 2023, 2:07 pm Is it just me, or is there anyone else on here who can't stand Brad Wilcox.
The Sith and the Savior.
He's also rumored to be on the short list for the next apostle.Reluctant Watchman wrote: ↑September 21st, 2023, 11:22 am Brad was (is?) a professor at BYU in the department of Ancient Scripture.

What calling does he have? I thought he was just a motivational/religious/utah speaker.Reluctant Watchman wrote: ↑September 21st, 2023, 10:06 amHe actually gave a pretty good talk on Grace a few years back.

He also said He that is not against me is for me, when he chided the Sons of Thunder over their imprudence on one occasion.Shawn Henry wrote: ↑September 21st, 2023, 2:25 pmThe Sith and the Savior.

I just watched the clip. That man is disgusting!

Reluctant Watchman wrote: ↑September 21st, 2023, 5:25 am This video has been shared before, but I think it’s worth posting again, especially now since I’m contemplating a greater sense of God’s love for all of His children in all religions that teach truth and light. Most religions you can step away from and they’ll often wish you well. (That’s not true for all religions, but many.) I think this is why it’s so hard for members of the church to see their family members leave, due to this type of conditioning and what it means to leave the LDS org. You can’t just leave the church, apparently you lose all connection to God and anything that means anything in the eternities.
God is more loving and kind than the opinions/teachings of this man.
