More Than Medicine

Send us Fan Mail Water has a memory for anyone who has stood near a roaring river, but Genesis 7–8 asks us to reckon with something far larger: waters that prevailed on the earth for 150 days and a world that did not look the same afterward. We open the text, trace the timeline from the first burst of the fountains of the deep to the day Noah steps onto dry ground, and walk through why the account...

Send us Fan Mail Headlines shout epidemic, but we ask a different set of questions: What does the baseline look like, who is truly at risk, and which practical steps actually matter? We dig into the meaning of “outbreak,” how population size and local conditions affect risk, and why sanitation and nutrition historically drove down mortality long before modern tools. That lens helps separate legiti...

Send us Fan Mail A rising sea, a rising question: can we trust the plain words of Genesis when everything around us urges a softer read? We open Genesis 7:17–23 and trace the language, the logic, and the stakes of a global Flood, exploring how God’s justice, patience, and mercy meet in one world-shaping event. Along the way, we talk through the Hebrew term mabbul, the repeated claims that “all the...

Send us Fan Mail Hard questions sharpen our compassion and our logic. We sit down with Dr. Matt Clark—physician, pastor, and executive director of Personhood South Carolina—to trace personhood from Genesis to the Constitution and ask what equal protection really demands before and after birth. Drawing on scripture, state law, and firsthand stories from clinic sidewalks, we examine why carving out...

Send us Fan Mail A single sentence in Genesis 7 changes how we think about the Flood: the fountains of the great deep burst open before the rain ever fell. We start with that order and build a clear, humble path through the text—pinpointing the stated date, probing what “calendar” might mean, and following the thread back to creation where waters above and waters below shaped an ordered world. Alo...

Send us Fan Mail The headlines are loud, but the questions underneath are louder: Is the Israel we read about in scripture connected to the nation we see on today’s maps? And if so, what responsibility do Christians carry in a moment of grief, fear, and rising antisemitism? We invited Dr. Michael Clore—pastor, missionary, and longtime student of Israel—to help us sort conviction from clickbait and...

Send us Fan Mail A courtroom, a quail, and a flood: one odd New York case from 1939 becomes a surprising doorway into Genesis 7, exposing how much of our certainty rests on untested assumptions. We walk through the text on clean and unclean animals, why seven pairs mattered, and what the timing before the rain may signal about God’s patience and human sorrow. Along the way, we revisit infamous sci...

Send us Fan Mail A nursery rhyme becomes a roadmap to redemption. We walk from Bethlehem’s quiet fields to Jerusalem’s crowded courts and finally to Revelation’s blazing throne room, tracing how Mary’s child is the Lamb who fulfills Israel’s calendar with pinpoint precision and claims the title deed to history. Angels announce the news to shepherds tending Passover flocks. John the Baptist points...

Send us Fan Mail Freedom doesn’t survive on paperwork alone; it lives or dies on the character of a people. We open Galatians 5:1 and read Joe Wolverton’s stirring essay “The Manger and the Republic,” tracing a vivid line from Bethlehem to Philadelphia and asking what happens when a nation keeps the legal forms of liberty while losing the moral foundations that make liberty possible. Across histor...

Send us Fan Mail What if the manger only makes sense in the light of the cross? We follow the “trail of the Lamb” across Scripture to show why Christmas is neither accidental nor sentimental, but the unveiling of God’s long-promised Passover Lamb. From Micah’s prophecy to Bethlehem’s fields, we connect the dots between shepherds, a stable, and the larger story of redemption that began before the w...

Send us Fan Mail The word that changes everything isn’t go—it’s come. We open Genesis 7:1 and step into Noah’s world of long silence, steady hammer blows, and an outrageous promise that demanded decades of obedience before a single drop fell. As the animals gather and the sky darkens with a first taste of lightning, we follow the thread of how faith becomes action, how action becomes righteousness...

Send us Fan Mail A concrete-walled hospital, two open wards, and a handful of nurses training students to shoulder the work—our story begins there, in late-1970s Gaza, where medicine, faith, and friendship intersected with daily need. Carlotta shares how a verse in Luke moved her from homebody to journeyman nurse, and how routine dawn rounds gave way to something bigger: home health across packed...

Send us Fan Mail Faith that never moves is just talk. We open Genesis 6:22 and watch Noah turn belief into lumber, nails, and a century of resolve, then follow Hebrews 11 to see why obedience is the natural language of trust. From there, Abraham’s journeys and knife-edge obedience force an honest question: what good is faith that never risks, reaches, or builds? Together we map a simple, durable p...

Send us Fan Mail Five books. One lively conversation that jumps from genetics to law, from compassion to culture, from jungle missions to a CEO’s second chance. We pulled together a year-end stack that refuses easy answers and invites deeper thinking, practical wisdom, and real hope. We start with Traced by Nathaniel T. Jeanson, a lay-friendly tour through genetics and human migrations that challe...

Send us Fan Mail A global flood unlike any other, a covenant that anchors hope, and a cascade of questions modern listeners still ask—this conversation moves from the text of Genesis 6:17–21 into the texture of real life. We read the passage, sit with the gravity of mabul and kataklysmos, and consider what it means for God to sit as king over catastrophic waters while preserving life through a pro...

Send us Fan Mail Gratitude sounds simple until stories from the field reset your compass. We open the pantry, feel the mattress under our back, turn a clean tap, and then remember widows in Haiti boiling roots to calm a hollow ache. The contrast isn’t meant to shame; it’s meant to wake us up. When abundance becomes invisible, we forget how to see it—and how to share it. I walk through the everyday...

Send us Fan Mail A world soaked in violence. A warning no one wanted. A colossal barge with one door and a promise that judgment would not have the final word. We open Genesis 6:13–16 and follow the details many skip: gopher wood, three decks, precise dimensions, and a sealing pitch that does more than waterproof—it whispers the first hint of atonement. Along the way, we share a striking story fro...

Send us Fan Mail A veteran narcotics investigator pulls back the curtain on how major drug cases really come together—without the TV gloss. We sit down with Chad Murray, a former local narcotics leader and ATF task force officer, to map the routes, decisions, and human stakes that define modern drug enforcement across the Southeast. Chad explains how I‑85 and Atlanta act as arteries for meth, guns...

Send us Fan Mail A world once drowned in corruption and violence feels uncomfortably familiar. We open Genesis 6:11–13 and ask hard questions about what God saw then and what He sees now—how cultures drift toward destruction, how violence gets normalized, and why judgment, though severe, is the just response of a holy and loving God. Along the way, we linger on Noah’s family, the power and limits...

Send us Fan Mail A newborn’s first day should be calm, not a crash course in public health policy. We dive into why a vaccine built for adult risk factors—unprotected sex and shared needles—became a universal ritual in the nursery, and we trace the decisions, incentives, and safety debates that cemented it there. From hospital “quality measures” that reward blanket compliance to maternal screening...

Send us Fan Mail Widespread violence. A single family building a vast ark. A promise sealed with a rainbow. We open Genesis 6 and take a hard look at whether Noah stands as legend or as sober history—and why that question shapes the way we read every page of Scripture. Rather than argue about trivia, we trace how the Bible itself treats Noah: Isaiah anchors God’s covenant to the “waters of Noah,”...

Send us Fan Mail A quiet ranch near the Arizona border, a stack of mandates, and a pharmacist looking for an exemption—that’s the unlikely spark behind covidindex.science, a volunteer-built library now holding more than 2,100 entries of COVID studies, interviews, and podcasts. We sit with Ursula Conway to unpack how a Word document became a public resource adopted by Children’s Health Defense and...

Send us Fan Mail A single line flips the darkest chapter into a story of hope: “But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.” We open Genesis 6:7–9 and follow that thread of grace through judgment, obedience, and a faith that dared to build before rain existed. Rather than offering a neat moral, we slow down to trace a five-step progression that runs through Noah’s life and our own: grace, justif...

Send us Fan Mail A single moment on a postpartum floor changed everything. Our guest, an OB nurse in California, describes the first time she was told to give a hepatitis B shot to a healthy newborn—and the gut-deep resistance that sent her searching through ingredient lists, safety thresholds, and the true indications for a vaccine usually tied to maternal status or later-life exposure. What bega...

Send us Fan Mail A single line in Genesis 6 says the thoughts of the human heart were only evil continually—and that God was grieved. From that stark diagnosis, we open a candid journey through divine sorrow, human responsibility, and the fierce mercy that waits before judgment falls. We look at why Scripture sometimes says God “repents,” how that language reflects our change rather than His, and...
