More Than Medicine

Send us Fan Mail One choice can change the direction of a whole family, and Genesis 13 shows it in painfully clear detail. We watch Abram and Lot hit a pressure point: their herds grow, the land feels limited, and the conflict starts to spread. What happens next isn’t just a story about ancient tent life, it’s a mirror for modern Christian living, leadership under stress, and the daily decisions t...

Send us Fan Mail A father’s death from pancreatic cancer sparks a decades-long hunt for a better answer, and it leads to one surprising place: the cell walls of baker’s yeast. We’re joined by Mike Catto, a researcher and biotech founder, to unpack beta-glucan and why the specific 1-3/1-6 linkage he works with matters for immune modulation and cancer immunotherapy. We walk through Mike’s path from...

Send us Fan Mail Abram walks out of Egypt with more money and less dignity, and that tension hits close to home. We sit with Genesis 13:1–4 and watch him head back to Bethel, back to the first altar, back to the place where he called on the name of the Lord. It’s a story about what happens when fear pushes us into shortcuts, when we compromise convictions, and when our testimony takes a public hit...

Send us Fan Mail A quiet revolution is still a revolution, especially when it arrives through classrooms, committees, and “reasonable” rules that nobody voted on. We talk with constitutional lawyer Joe Wolverton about the Fabian Society and the idea of slow-motion political change: not a dramatic overthrow, but a steady reshaping of how people think, speak, and comply. We dig into the Fabian metho...

Send us Fan Mail A famine hits, the pressure rises, and Abram makes a choice that feels practical but exposes what fear can do to faith. We open Genesis 12:10–20 and follow Abram down to Egypt, where anxiety for survival turns into a “half truth” meant to protect his life and preserve his future. It’s a raw look at how quickly we can drift from prayerful dependence into self made solutions, especi...

Send us Fan Mail The headlines out of the Middle East change by the hour, but some patterns feel bigger than politics. Today we take a careful, Scripture first look at Israel, Iran (Persia), Russia, and the growing talk of “peace” agreements, then ask the uncomfortable question: what if the Bible warns us about that exact moment when people start saying everything is finally safe?  We walk through...

Send us Fan Mail Faith sounds inspiring until God asks you to move before you know the address. We open Genesis 12:4–8 and trace Abram’s obedience as he leaves Haran at 75 years old with Sarai, Lot, servants, and substantial possessions, traveling hundreds of miles toward Canaan. That long road becomes a picture of what real trust looks like: stepping forward with God’s word while the details rema...

Send us Fan Mail Peace in the Middle East sounds like the goal everyone should want, so why do so many Christians feel uneasy when world leaders talk about coalitions, treaties, and “historic” agreements around Israel? We sit down with Dr. Michael Cloer, a veteran pastor and student of Scripture, to face the question head-on: how can modern diplomacy fit alongside Bible prophecy that describes a f...

Send us Fan Mail God tells Abram, “I will,” four times and it changes the direction of human history. We slow down in Genesis 12:2–3 and let those promises land with their full weight: nationhood for a 75-year-old man with a barren wife, divine favor that God himself sustains, a great name that lasts beyond cultures and centuries, and a universal blessing that reaches “all the families of the eart...

Send us Fan Mail A patient looks you in the eye and says her last meal was roots she dug from the ground, boiled in water, and shared just to make it through the week. That single sentence can wreck your categories for poverty, health, and gratitude, and it becomes the doorway to a bigger July 4th reflection from me, a country doctor who has seen both mission-field scarcity and American abundance....

Send us Fan Mail God’s first words to Abram in Genesis 12 are simple and disruptive: leave your country, your relatives, and your father’s house, then walk toward a land God will show you. We sit with that tension the way real people have to, because obedience is rarely abstract. When God calls, He often asks us to loosen our grip on comfort, identity, and control, and to trust His promise before...

Send us Fan Mail A viral clip about aborting a baby with Down syndrome lit up the internet, but the part that matters most to me isn’t the comments section. It’s the question sitting underneath it: what is the unborn, really? As a physician and a dad, I walk through that question with the one person who has made it impossible for our family to keep this debate theoretical our son Thomas, now 26, w...

Send us Fan Mail A genealogy can look like filler until you realize it is the backbone of a promise. We open Genesis 11:10-32 and follow the generations of Shem, right after the Tower of Babel and the dispersion of nations, to see how God keeps a single redemptive thread alive even when humanity scatters and the knowledge of the true God grows dim. As we trace the line forward, we talk about why S...

Send us Fan Mail A baby asks for “mama,” and two adults laugh back, “There is no mama.” That short viral moment is heartbreaking on the surface, but we think it also reveals something deeper about the way modern culture talks about same-sex marriage, commercial surrogacy, and what counts as a family. I’m joined by my daughter Hannah as we slow down and look past the news cycle. We start with why t...

Send us Fan Mail A single sentence in Genesis can wreck the comforting myth of a distant God: “the Lord came down.” We lean into Genesis 11:5–7 and the Tower of Babel to ask what it means that God watches nations, weighs motives, and intervenes when human pride hardens into organized rebellion. If you’ve ever wondered whether God is actually active in the world or whether history is just spinning...

Send us Fan Mail If you’ve ever felt that quiet inner nudge that something is off, you’re not alone and you’re not crazy. We take that instinct seriously and put it through a biblical lens, because preparedness is not about panic. It’s about wisdom, stewardship, and protecting the people God has put in our care. I pick up with principle six, “prepare for opposition,” through Nehemiah’s rebuilding...

Send us Fan Mail “Pro-life” is easy to say on a stage. It’s much harder to define in law when the questions get sharp: rape and incest, disability, medical prognosis, and whether the people involved in abortion should be treated as legally accountable or automatically immune. That’s why we sat down with Dr. Matt Clark, CEO of Personhood South Carolina, to talk plainly about personhood, equal prote...

Send us Fan Mail A city that promises security. A tower that promises unity. A plan that quietly says, “We don’t want God’s way.” We open Genesis 11:3–4 and slow the story down until you can see why the Tower of Babel still feels familiar in modern life and modern culture. We talk through Nimrod’s rise, why ancient tradition paints him as more than a talented leader, and how a single decision can...

Send us Fan Mail The fastest way to lose peace is to pretend tomorrow will always look like today. We talk frankly about why so many people feel overwhelmed by instability, from economic uncertainty and rising grocery costs to fragile supply chains and sudden local disasters, and we anchor it all in a simple biblical idea: preparation is not a lack of faith, it is wisdom in action.  We borrow a st...

Send us Fan Mail One ancient story explains more about our modern world than most headlines ever will. We open Genesis 11 and treat the Tower of Babel as more than a children’s lesson about mixed-up languages. For us, Babel is a case study in what happens when people chase unity without God: pride hardens, worship shifts from Creator to creation, and power concentrates into something that looks a...

Send us Fan Mail The ballot gets crowded fast, but our decision-making stays simple: we vote from conviction, not vibes. Dr. Robert Jackson sits down with his daughter, Hannah Miller, to share our South Carolina primary election endorsements and the standards we use when friends call asking, “Who do I vote for?” We do not claim you must vote our way, but we do believe clarity helps, especially whe...

Send us Fan Mail One overlooked verse in Genesis names a son “Division” and quietly points to one of the biggest turning points in human history. We open Genesis 10:22–32 and follow Shem’s family line, not as a dry record of ancient names, but as a carefully preserved trail of promise that Scripture protects from Eve all the way to Jesus Christ. Along the way, we clarify why Noah’s blessing focuse...

Send us Fan Mail Lindsey Graham gets booed in his own backyard and a challenger steps forward with a very different pitch. We sit down with Mark Lynch, a Greenville business owner, church deacon, and longtime grassroots organiser, to hear why he’s running for the US Senate in South Carolina and why he thinks the upstate is ready to replace a career incumbent. Along the way, we talk candidly about...

Send us Fan Mail Genealogies usually get skipped, but Genesis 10 refuses to be background noise. When you slow down, the Table of Nations becomes a map of the world after the flood and a warning about what the human heart does with power. I’m Dr. Robert Jackson, and we walk through Genesis 10:6–20 with a focus on the sons of Ham, tying biblical names to real places like Ethiopia, Egypt, and Libya...

Send us Fan Mail The world keeps selling women a noisy kind of strength, but what if real strength is quiet, steady, and surrendered? Carlotta Jackson joins me to finish her message on the question “What is a strong woman?” and we take it straight to Scripture with seven unforgettable portraits that challenge modern definitions of power, identity, and success. We start with Ruth and the first deci...
