Pushback with Dr. Jonny

Dr. Jonny breaks down the midterm election results not from a political stand-point, but from a kingdom and cultural perspective. He explains that when a nation is so culturally divided, especially on the issue that matters most, it is imperative that the message of the kingdom is clear, coherent and changes the heart of the people. 

Unfettered use of cell phone devices can have a negative impact on our children’s physical and mental health and, ironically, social media has severe consequences on our children’s social behavior. We need to restore precious (device-free) human interaction, where we can listen and be heard. Dr. Jonny implores parents to be powerful in setting boundaries and giving strategies to help our children...

With the perspective of an ER Physician, Dr. Jonny tackles the topic of drugs and alcohol, as he continues his series on Powerful Parenting. The statistics paint an ominous picture of drug and alcohol abuse among young people. They are desperately looking for a solution to treat their pain, anxiety and depression. This solidifies the importance of parents setting boundaries and providing strategie...

Dr. Jonny continues on his “Top 10 List” of topics for powerful parenting. This week he discusses origins and worldview. Evolution isn’t a scientific law, but rather a secular religion being taught everyday to our children. This religion teaches a lifeless, hopeless, and purposeless doctrine that has serious consequences on all aspects of society. Parents need to be confident, personally and scien...

Dr. Jonny begin a series on powerful parenting designed to help parents provide boundaries and strategies for their children facing a concerning culture. This podcasts addresses the definition of “woke” and how we as Christians can engage this cultural conversation with honor and compassion.  Our children don’t need to compromise or takes sides, but rather be a mediator and have an answer for our...

Parental Discretion Advised. The Father created us spirit, soul and body.  Our soul consist of our mind, will, emotions and feelings and are meant to be connected or given to others within loving boundaries. If our soul and bodies are given away outside of these boundaries, unhealthy soul ties are created that cause us to become sick and destructively connected. Parents were given the assignment t...

Dr, Jonny reviews the movie “A Hidden Life” about an Austrian peasant farmer who refused to take the oath of allegiance to Hitler during World War II, and sacrificed everything, including his life, because of his God-given convictions.  Although we are called to be extraordinary people, it is often the convictions of the heart and the regular everyday decisions we make before the Lord and our fami...

We as parents cannot just helplessly bob down the river of culture and hope everything will be OK. We need to plant our feet, turn around and pushback against the current. Dr. Jonny provides a list of current cultural challenges that every child faces today to be a spring-board for discussion between parents and their children. Now is the time for powerful parents to give their children intentiona...

The liberal pro-abortion activists and media are labelling the pro-life position as extreme, in a last ditch effort to garner some enthusiasm prior to mid-term elections. Ironically, their extreme position is rejected by 9 of out of 10 Americans. This alone should embolden the pro-life message and encourage us to stand up to the bullying. Unfortunately, Dr. Jonny explains, there have been some pol...

Dr. Jonny shares what he learned from his family while sitting around the campfire this weekend. He was delighted and inspired by his children sharing their perspective on caring for the poor and needy. The Bible is clear that the poor belong to us as followers of Christ, and we don’t need government hand-outs to meet the needs of those around us. Generosity is a core heavenly culture and we can t...

Biden’s student loan forgiveness plans was unveiled this week, with a huge price tag economically, morally and culturally.  But the motivation for this plan was one thing only…to buy votes. Dr. Jonny explains this opinion and why no one benefits. Every time big government intervenes in our economy, it turns out poorly, and we need to be aware, alert and pushback!

Dr. Jonny continues his discussion on race, racism and colorblindness. By quoting Coleman Hughes, an advocate for race-blindness, he offers perspective and a defense for judging people by the character of their heart rather than the color of their skin. The woke race obsession looks for closure with our history, but instead creates a dishonest treadmill that is less about healing or even reparatio...

Racial tension continues at a high level in our country, and the woke agenda is actually creating more division than unity.  As a nation, we need to have a target and a mission statement so we know where we are headed and what is our goal. In 1963 Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have A Dream” speech in Washington DC and gave us a target. Dr. Jonny explains that his mission statement can be...

Dr. Jonny presents his podcast on location from the Ark Encounter in Northern Kentucky. Along with his family, they describes the importance of understanding the literal interpretation of the first eleven chapters of Genesis.

In light of President Biden testing positive for Covid, he discusses the current information and studies regarding the effectiveness of the Covid vaccines. In response to the White House threatening to declare a “climate emergency,” he sifts through the real facts to see...

Our culture loves to rank us and debate who is the “greatest of all time” for every different cultural category. We don’t have to imagine what it would be like to achieve all this world has to offer, we can look at the G.O.A.T.s of history and discover the emptiness and pain that fame and fortune offered them. All this world has to offer will never be enough. Dr. Jonny promotes influence and expos...

Jesus came to restore the Father’s plan for family and marriage. He didn’t come to implement Plan B; He came to restore Plan A! Because of this, Dr. Jonny explores Genesis chapter 2 to discover what the Father intended at the beginning. The intended culture for marriage was oneness, but somehow the cultures of the world and even of the church have allowed room for couples to stay separate and inde...

Technology is neither good or bad. How we use it, determines what impact it has on our lives. Dr. Jonny explores the current research on cell phone and video game usage and how it impacts us socially, emotionally and conversationally.

On June 24th, 2022 the United States Supreme Court overturned Roe vs Wade! Dr. Jonny celebrates this landmark decision while exhorting his listeners that this is the starting line not the finish line. The forces of darkness that have surrounded this issue for the last 50 years are now raging and we should expect irrational opposition and retaliation. However, as this dark veil is lifted, the light...

The rise of cellphones, video games and even the Covid pandemic have created a culture of social distancing. As human beings we are hard-wired to need one another and be in close physical contact. From premature babies, to raising children, to spouses and even to the body of Christ we were created to need human touch. Dr. Jonny calls for virtual reality to not become our new reality!

Sometimes the most critical person we know is ourselves. Since the beginning of time, the enemy has wanted us to live in shame and self-condemnation. This keeps us ineffective and deceived, and we can be led further into this deception by believing that self-condemnation is just another word for humility. Dr. Jonny wants to break the cycle of shame and silence the voice of the enemy. We can only b...

Dr. Jonny finishes his three part series on sibling rivalry by exploring the story of Jacob and Esau. By valuing the birthright Jacob actually positioned himself for advancement and inheritance that was afforded to him through his family line. The Lord saw a value for family as the foundation to build a nation upon. Also, through the transformational power of forgiveness, this estranged sibling re...

Another school shooting this week in Uvalde, Texas has left us saddened, disheartened and frustrated. To further the frustration, politicians have predictably used this tragedy to score political points and advocate gun control, while not addressing the real monster behind the mask. Dr. Jonny passionately exposes the culture of death propagated in classrooms, media, Hollywood, and even in Washingt...

The answer to any broken relationship, including siblings, is a Father.  Jesus came to declare a Father to an orphaned world. Dr. Jonny continues his series on sibling rivalry, by explaining that in the “prodigal son” story both siblings were displaying an orphaned spirit by not valuing or celebrating each other or their position in the family. This parable is really more about the Father and how...
