Cluster B 26.10.2023 24:56
It is very sobering when our society views pathology as normalcy. Dr. Jonny reviews an article explaining how Cluster B pathological personality traits have begun to shape the patterns and structures of our culture and how those traits are elevated into positions of power and celebrated by our institutions. A desperate society will grasp onto anything that offers identity, but we know that true id...
The Rise of Pseudoscience 19.10.2023 26:13
True science is built on the backbone of the scientific method which is characterized by systematic observation, measurement and experimentation. Pseudoscience does not comply with the scientific method and yet presents its findings as scientific knowledge. Dr. Jonny explains in detail why this is so dangerous to our families, society and culture. We all need to be scientifically discerning and h...
Awake O Israel 13.10.2023 26:11
Israel has declared war this week after being savagely attacked by the Islamic militant group Hamas. Dr. Jonny breaks down the conflict and the key historical facts that has led to this war. He also reveals the unique Christian challenge when we live in and operate in the kingdom of this world and yet are ambassadors (representatives) of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Scrutinizers, Skeptics and Cynics 05.10.2023 27:10
Scrutiny describes examination, searching or closely watching. Skepticism, on the other hand, is rooted in doubt, mistrust and suspicion and, like Thomas, implies an unwillingness to believe without conclusive evidence. A cynic believes people always act selfishly so they should be outright rejected. Dr. Jonny explains that as Christians we have to delicately balance absolute belief, even in thin...
The Sky is Falling 28.09.2023 20:38
Dr. Jonny responds to a listener’s insightful and respectful comments regarding climate change. We as Christians need to be on the forefront of stewardship when it comes to our planet and environment. We also need to steward truth to the best of our ability, and be able to discern bias, motives, costs and where the burden of proof lies.
Dream On! 21.09.2023 25:44
We spend 1/3 of our lives sleeping. It makes sense that the Heavenly Father would take advantage of that time and speak to us in dreams. Dreams are like a parable, a metaphorical story about you and your life, and it is fun and rewarding to discover what He saying. Dr. Jonny gives some instruction and practical advice about approaching and interpreting dreams.
Rough Climate 14.09.2023 24:21
More than 1600 scientists, including two Nobel laureates, have signed a declaration saying, “There is no climate emergency.” Dr. Jonny explains that scientists, especially climate scientists, have become compromised. They are driven by competition, notoriety, grant funding, and political pressure rather that pursuing objective truth. We can no longer blindly accept what scientists say, but need to...
Yada, Yada, Yada 07.09.2023 22:08
Many use the expression, “Yada, Yada” to describe boring or empty talk. However, the Hebrew word Yada is the exact opposite. It means to know or acknowledge and is a word of deep meaning and intimacy. Dr. Jonny explains that Yada was central to the Father’s culture from the beginning. When we lean not on our own understanding, but in all our ways (culture) acknowledge (Yada) Him, He will make stra...
The Bigot Spigot 31.08.2023 24:17
People use angry and inflammatory language in an attempt to silence and disempower those in opposition. When something isn’t rational, reasonable or true, it is OK to voice your concern without being bigoted, intolerant or phobic. Dr. Jonny explains that disagreement doesn’t mean hate and we need to be careful to not slowly slip into the narrative of an immoral mindset.
Crossing the Rubicon 25.08.2023 24:13
The Rubicon River has become an idiom for a point of no return. The Lord arms us with His love and identity, but then positions us on the bank of the river to make a decision. He not only saves us, but calls us to the front lines to take territory and save souls for His kingdom. The front lines are not comfortable or easy, but following His voice, even unto death, is the safest place to live!
Dancing at the Door 18.08.2023 23:33
Jesus not only came on a salvation mission but a restoration mission. The Bible claims He was the Door and the Way, but to what? He was the way to the Father and to the adventure of His glorious kingdom. However, the Church has been dancing at the Door but not going through, and we are losing focus on the opportunity of our lifetime to impact the world as Sons and Daughters!
Life Support 10.08.2023 21:59
A recent study revealed a sad, yet encouraging statistic. A staggering sixty percent of women that had abortions would have carried their child to term if they had greater emotional or financial support, or both! Dr. Jonny frames this finding as an incredible opportunity to save lives by filling the “bucket” of resources with time, money, encouragement, and to consider opening our homes by fosteri...
Trumped Up Charges 04.08.2023 26:15
After former president Donald Trump’s latest federal indictment this week, Dr. Jonny discusses the key cultural pieces at stake. There are layers of concern in regard to this case such as a sitting president using his own Justice Department to indict a former president, his main rival and the clear-cut leader for the GOP nomination. However, the by far greater concern at stake, in this case, is th...
The Emotion of Motion 27.07.2023 24:25

The White Powder 21.07.2023 25:04
When we consume sugar and refined flour our brain releases dopamine which creates a pleasurable feeling and desire for more. It is the same addictive response when given cocaine. Dr Jonny explains that these highly addictive food choices creates an energy mismatch and the excess energy is stored as fat. He gives strategy to identify healthy choices and to establish a culture of fuel control, hunge...
Crisis Dieting 14.07.2023 25:53
Dr. Jonny continues his series on health and weight loss by discussing emotional eating and the futility of crisis dieting. He emphasizes the importance of pursuing health for what you can gain, not for what you need to lose.

Worth the Weight 29.06.2023 25:25
Dr. Jonny begins a series discussing his personal journey toward health and weight loss. He describe our current culture and the disconnect between the world we were created to live in and the land of access and excess we find ourselves in.

Stand Before Kings 22.06.2023 21:37
We are called to stand before kings, not before unknown men. Dr. Jonny describes being set apart for His kingdom, so that we can bring the greatest impact to our culture. Those with skill, identity, experience, understanding of the world, and knowledge of culture will be invited into the realms of greatest influence!
Dad Jokes: Cringey, Corny and Constructive 15.06.2023 21:00

Transgender Malpractice 09.06.2023 25:41
Parental discretion is advised. The medical profession should be held accountable for the unproven, harmful and often irreversible medical and surgical interventions called “gender-affirming care.” Dr. Jonny exposes the reality of the procedures and explores the deeper cultural implications driving this irresponsible and negligent practice.
You Only Die Twice 01.06.2023 23:45
We as believers do not sorrow or grieve as those who have no hope. Dr. Jonny shares his heart following the memorial service for his granddaughter. We all have a first death, a resurrection and a second death. The first death and resurrection can be taken care of in our lifetime by accepting the fullness of Jesus Christ, then the second death (our natural death) is of no effect!
I Love Lucy 26.05.2023 13:48
Dr, Jonny briefly shares his heart after the passing of his precious grand-daughter Lucille Rose. Comfort is found in the truth and the reality in which we live as Christians. We all have died and have been crucified and resurrected with Christ. Death no longer has any sting. Our current reality is that we are already living eternal life and our Spirit is seated in heavenly places (same as Lucy) i...
Here Comes the Sun 18.05.2023 21:53
Dr. Jonny puts on his medical hat and discusses the dangers of the upcoming summer season and the simple precautionary measures we can implement to avoid too much sun exposure. Especially in northern climates, the long anticipated warm weather results in too many jumping recklessly into the long awaited sun-filled days. This risky behavior is actually increasing in our culture and greater awarenes...
Wanted: Dead or Alive 11.05.2023 23:35
Parental discretion advised. Dr. Jonny describes the medical miracle that took place this week when doctors performed groundbreaking surgery on a baby still the womb. The only difference between a miracle and murder is whether or not the baby was wanted. In this country we allow a child to be destroyed solely by the selfish determination of a mother that the child is unwanted. History has proven...
