More Than Medicine

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...

Send us Fan Mail A story of grief turning to grit can change how we think about life, law, and love. Dr. Robert Jackson sits down with Jeannie Smith—once a patient in a crisis pregnancy center, now the executive director of Coastline Women’s Center—to trace how one decision reshaped her future and why she now advocates for South Carolina’s SB 323. Jeannie opens up about the pain of an abortion in...

Send us Fan Mail Giants stride through ancient pages, but the real story here is how renown without righteousness corrodes a world. We open Genesis 6 and meet the Nephilim, trace the root of their name to “fallen,” and explore how demonic influence, cultural myth, and biblical testimony converge around an age swollen with power and soaked in violence. Along the way, we connect paleontology’s recor...

Send us Fan Mail A single question over breakfast can reroute a life. That’s how Mark Baumgartner, a former airline and corporate pilot, found himself trading flight plans for a green vest on a Columbia sidewalk—armed with a simple card, a phone number, and a promise of help. One mother stopped at the top of a hill, turned around, and asked, “Can you really help me?” Months later, Mark received a...

Send us Fan Mail What if the most sobering line in Genesis isn’t about giants or an ark, but about a God who finally stops striving with a hardened people? We open Genesis 6:3 and sit with the text until it searches us—Spirit versus flesh, patience versus presumption, and the long runway of mercy that ran out in the days of Noah. Along the way, we trace how theologians read the 120 years, why Paul...

Send us Fan Mail A raw, unfiltered look at South Carolina’s fight over the Unborn Child Protection Act (S.323)—and why many believe the current heartbeat law still leaves thousands of lives at risk.

Send us Fan Mail What if the strangest passage in Genesis is a map for reading the moment we’re living through right now? We open Genesis 6 and follow the thread from “the sons of God” and the Nephilim to Jesus’ startling warning that the days before his return will mirror the days of Noah. Not to stir sensationalism, but to name the deep currents—unchecked desire, spiritual rebellion, and cultura...

Send us Fan Mail Can a poison ever be made “safe” through testing alone? That unsettling question drives a candid conversation about vaccine safety, mandates, and the ethics of informed consent. We start with the everyday reality of lead testing in children, recall the historical use of mercury and arsenic as medicine, and ask whether modern labels can override inherent toxicity. From there, we ex...
