Pushback with Dr. Jonny

Sibling relationships are not often talked about, not valued and have become a punchline in secular sit-coms. This is common culture, but not normal culture. There is no one the earth that is the more similar to you both genetically and how your were raised. This relationship was divinely ordained to offer you an advocate to help you and guide you thru life. Dr. Jonny begins a series on siblings b...

 A leaked draft opinion from Judge Samuel Alito commented that the Roe v Wade judgement was “egregiously wrong.” This document hopefully if a foretelling of the eventual decision of the Supreme Court effectively ending the constitutional right to an abortion. The abortion laws would then return to the state legislatures and would immediately trigger bans on abortion in about half the states. Dr. J...

Even secular sociologists agree that as family goes, so goes the culture. However, some in our culture are actually trying to make the case that parents protecting their children is weaponized extremism. Dr. Jonny passionately explains that family was meant to be powerful and critical to the Father’s original plan as we reproduce His culture over the face of the earth…and there is no plan B!  We h...

This last month the Walt Disney Corporation has been the perfect example of bending a knee to woke activists, and as a result has found itself in a losing battle. While catering to a noisy agenda, they have abandoned their customers, their stockholders and even their common sense. The “Parental Rights in Education” bill, which is in the center of the controversy, has been passed in Florida, and it...

As our woke culture crosses over into the absurd and ridiculous, many quietly go along with it because of the fear of be ostracized, cancelled, censored or smeared. The definition of phobia is an irrational fear of something, so when the LGBTQ community implements intimidation and requires passive submission to their irrational pronouns, they are actually being homophobic! Dr. Jonny encourages hon...

Placing our children on a pedestal and idolizing their performance is not a healthy culture for them physically or mentally.  The culture of sports illustrates this destructive behavior better than anything else. Setting them on a worldly pedestal is setting them up for a fall. Dr. Jonny explains that parents have to navigate the tricky waters of being proud of our kids but not attaching pride to...

Our Western mindsets tend to rank and categorize people and thus we look at ourselves “graded on a curve.”   People can often support harmful and extreme positions so as to make themselves feel better, because they aren’t that bad, relatively speaking. Dr. Jonny wants to expose this sinister cultural plan and not allow extremists to move the needle of morality in our nation. God is Holy, and His w...

Covid-19 cases, deaths and hospitalizations are all declining and Dr. Jonny is feeling optimistic, however, the effects of the coronavirus infection can sometimes be long lasting and linger.  “Long Haulers” is a term the medical community is using to describe various post-Covid syndromes. Dr. Jonny describes some post-Covid complications and, once again, advocates vaccination. Vaccination reduces...

Cinderella is one of the greatest and well known rags-to-riches story ever written.  Contained in the story is a powerful gospel message. A story of a loving king and a kind prince that transforms a girl from being enslaved and rejected into a glorious princess! Our worth and identity is only found in the Father and the restored relationship offered through His Son. Dr. Jonny explains that during...

In light of the current world conflict and surging gas prices, every politician is calling for US energy independence, but there is a marked difference in their worldview to accomplish this and to pay for it. It is suggested that the current oil crisis should “motivate us” to pursue more green energy. Dr. Jonny explains that green energy is not affordable, accessible or practical, and pursing it w...

Almost every conflict in human history can be boiled down to one critical factor: money. The unprovoked Russian invasion of Ukraine is no different. The hesitation by the Biden Administration to place an embargo on Russia’s exported oil, highlights the priority of economic stability and prosperity over human suffering and misery! Dr. Jonny explores the financial, cultural, strategic and moral impl...

Believe it or not, Russia actually gave the United States a gift this week.  “Putin’s War” showed us what it looks like when a central government and its leader becomes too powerful and controlling. President Vladimir Putin rose to power in a culture that enabled his Machiavellian worldview. A worldview that is cynical, disregards morality, and deceives to get what it wants. Our constitution and s...

Observational science works in the present. Historical science deals with he past. How you interpret observational science, which shows that climate change is real, is based on what you believe about historical science. Dr. Jonny believes that God’s Word teaches a young earth that was radically altered by a recent global flood and with this we should expect natural variations in climate and temper...

Dr. Jonny explains that our out-of-control national debt is a by-product of a bloated government, excessive spending and extreme politics. However, equally responsible, is an involuted, selfish, suspicious and isolated church! The church was created to be regional and to care for the sick, poor, widow and orphan. What the church has set down, the government has picked up. It is time for the church...

Dr. Jonny continues his discussion on the Critical Race Theory. He contrasts the terms equality and equity, and why this understanding illuminates the danger of CRT, especially in our schools. He proposes a target for health and healing in our culture, and then we can determine if what we are doing or proposing is getting us further or closer to the target.

Dr. Jonny continues his discussion on the Critical Race Theory and why it is important for us to continue discussing race and racism in America. He defends those who feel unheard and sense a real lack of progress in our country, but also explains why and how CRT can be dangerous and counter-productive when presented by those with unpure motives and in the wrong setting. Parents have the right to p...

The Critical Race Theory has been very prominent in the news lately, and has become a unifying force for conservatives in their opposition. Dr. Jonny helps to define the movement because he believes that most don’t understand the motives and perspectives of the theory and have dismissed it without understanding. While some of the outcomes or conclusions of this theory are misguided, it is essentia...

Dr. Jonny shares his experience this week with testing positive for Covid. He discusses the current symptoms and outcomes of the Omicron variant as well as the current quarantine recommendations. Despite being exposed to every hardship and temptation known by man, Jesus could never be separated from who He was. He was the embodiment of love and compassion. Because of who we are, despite our curren...

We are almost 2 years into the Covid-19 Pandemic, and we are still facing surges, shut downs and new variants.  Dr Jonny shares an analogy that helps describe our current situation. He breaks down the current Omicron variant, gives a further case for vaccination, and answers His listener’s questions.

Dr. Jonny shares his excitement, gratitude and resolve as he embarks on Season 3 of Pushback.  He shares the core beliefs and goals for this podcast while reviewing the major topics that drove and defined Seasons 1 and 2.  We cannot become whiny, depressed or complacent about our culture. We have the answer! As ambassadors of heaven, we set and shape the culture!

Our Faith has very little to do with doctrine, religion or behavior, and everything to do with belief. We want to see first, but He requires belief first. When Jesus says, “Everything is possible for one who believes,” He opens a huge door for reformation and transformation across cultures, communities, homes and lives. Dr. Jonny challenges what we believe about our culture and our future as we lo...

Dr. Jonny has covered some very important, and at times, heavy topics this past year as we look to pushback and set the culture. However, this is Christmas week, so it is time to have a little fun!  Family sets the culture and part of family culture is just having fun together and for the Claussens, that means games. Play along as Dr. Jonny invites his family to join him for some Christmas family...

Parental discretion advised . Our culture’s experiment with unrestrained sexuality isn’t working. In fact, it causing great harm and damage especially to the younger generation.  Dr. Jonny isn’t calling for a minor change, but for a complete revolution in our culture! He gives real strategy for revolution starting with our own hearts.  This is then fostered in our families, carried to our churches...

Parental discretion is advised. Our culture has not only eliminated boundaries around our sexual behavior but has also eliminated common sense and basic human behavior.  We as a society have created moral and legal constraints when it comes to the “age of consent” as protections for our children’s innocence, but then as parents, look the other way when our children engage in sexually immoral and h...

Parental discretion is advised.   Love is a person not a feeling.  Jesus is the unending reservoir of love that fills our spirit, which in turn floods our soul and then satisfies our bodies. The world’s culture reverses this by promoting “making love” with our bodies first, with the desperate hope that they might feel satisfied in their soul. The result of this futile experiment is more pain, bagg...
