The Write Habit

/ Daniel Mynyk/ No Comments

In the last few weeks I have picked up a new habit: writing opinion pieces.

In this episode I explain the art of writing and how to crush writer’s block by keeping your “talking” and “editing” functions from fighting each other.

Then, I summarize four opinion pieces I pitched and had published in other venues.

My recent opinion pieces:

Periodical: The Thinking Conservative

“How Men Are Behind Abortion Culture—And What They Should Do About It“

“There IS a Monster Under the Bed! It’s Time To Make Fairy Tales Great Again“

Periodical: The Baptist Standard

“Letter: Only two-thirds of U.S. Christians believe all have sinned“

Organization: The Libertarian Christian Institute

“Abortion and Bastiat’s Seen and Unseen“

This episode is part 2 of 2 addressing a video from Dan McClellan called “Was 1 Enoch considered inspired scripture?“ Dan McClellan claims to be a Latter-day Saint, although his views don’t reflect those of typical Mormons.

After Captain Moroni leads the Nephites to victory, the sons of Alma try to reform the church. A suave strong guy named Amalickiah starts a faction in Zarahemla to make him king and corrupt the church. Captain Moroni goes all American patriot with flags and rallying troops to protect liberty. Alma chapter 46 even includes the phrase “the blessings of liberty” that comes

The Book of Mormon: Part 28 (Alma chapters 39-42)

This episode is part 28 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon. This episode covers chapters 39-42 of the book of Alma. Alma finishes talking to his sons by addressing these chapters to his youngest son Corianton. Corianton has been a bit of a rebel compared to his brothers. Alma answers questions about the coming of Christ, the resurrection of the righteous and the wicked, the intermediate state between death and resurrection, and why all this doctrine matters. Oh, and we will see quite a bit of plagiarism from the New Testament in these chapters.
