  13. Charlie the Martyr

  14. Progressive Aggressive

    The “political spirit” seeks to control and silence, which is the goal of the progressive movement. The Democrats, instead of realizing that their progressive policies are unpopular and are being rejected by the electorate, have double-downed on their positions and claim they just haven’t been...

  15. Delayed Gratification

    We live in an instant, “need-it-now” society. Because of this, we can lose the importance of future thinking, and focus only on what we can experience today. Dr. Jonny explains that a generational mindset is not only the healthiest culture it is the core ingredient for the survival of culture...

  16. Blockbusted

    After Dr. Jonny shares more information about the new Famology podcast being released September 3rd, he describes the dismal box-office performance coming out of Hollywood again this summer. The movie industry has faced the consequences of alienating audiences with political messaging…

  17. F.Y.D.?

    What happens when news stories are released “for your disinformation?” We need to be to distinguish what is for our good and for our health, from what is politically motivated or for self-interest. Dr. Jonny shares three headlines from just this week that need to be discerned and studied. We…

  18. Open Pulpit

    This week, a court ruling overturned the 1954 Johnson Amendment which prohibited nonprofits from endorsing or opposing candidates if they want to remain tax-exempt. Dr. Jonny sees this as a major win for podcasts like Pushback, for free speech, and for the body of Christ in America! However, It…

    more
  19. Thin Place

    From Eden to Revelation, the Bible is one example to the next of heavenly encounters with earthly people. In fact, the separation of heaven and earth was created very thin, and we should expect to see and hear heavenly manifestations because we are spiritual beings.. Dr. Jonny encourages us to...

  20. The 4th Dimension

    The 4th of July is a great opportunity to celebrate the greatest and longest lasting democracy in history. It is a celebration of the freedom to celebrate, worship, disagree and protest. Our culture has become so angry with those that disagree with us, but, as Dr. Jonny explains, it is because we...

  21. Rhetorical Question

    The murder of a Minnesota lawmaker this week was another example of political violence that has hit our culture. Dr. Jonny knows there are issues that anger us, but as Christians we are then to pivot toward the world with love and honor. Honoring rhetoric can persuade and influence, whereas...

  23. Wait for the Promise

    Dr. Jonny shares his trials he faced this week, and compels us to embrace patience and even waiting.

  24. Marathon not a Sprint

    We live in an instantaneous society; we don’t like waiting and patience has become counter-cultural. Dr. Jonny explains that patience is not an inactive word, but actually unlocks our inheritance and aligns ourselves to the working of the Spirit. Patience is a surrendering of our own way and a...

  25. Job Descriptions

    Dr. Jonny reviews a scene from The Chosen, where the writers and producers decided to have Jesus give an explanation as to why some do not get healed.

  26. Prude and Prejudice

    PARENTAL DISCRETION ADVISED. As parents, we have the God-given dominion to influence and steer our children’s culture.

  27. Of Jew and Gentile

  28. The Middle Man

    The is only One mediator between God and mankind and that is the Man Christ Jesus. Yet, if we are not careful we can exalt the things or people created by God above God himself.

  29. Just An Ordinary Dude

  31. Trans-ported

  32. Co-Co List

    Jesus is not some far off and distant God. Rather, He has called us into an intimate and covenant relationship with Him. He doesn’t just look to help us or impact us, He looks to become one with us. Dr. Jonny wants to help those who are hurting or searching by sharing the “Co-Co List” from...

  33. Giraffeness

Dr. Jonny wants sprinkle in simple and irrefutable evidence that contradicts the evolutionary theory and...

  34. Normal Sense

    Several executive orders by the Trump administration have been lauded as simple “common sense.” However, Dr. Jonny warns that the word common is a movable target and we need to be more focused on what is “normal sense” than what is common. Normalcy is directly tied to a standard and abnormal...

  35. Parental Discretion Advised

    Congress is looking to pass the Kids Online Safety Act, a bill aiming to protect kids from the harms of social media and other online platforms.

  36. Tipping Over Tables

  38. Let Me Count the Ways

    As Christians, we can’t only complain about what doesn’t work in our culture, we need to sell what does work!

    more
  39. Culture Club

    We are not helpless victims of the culture, but rather we are called to set and shape the culture.

  41. Follow the Bouncing Ball- Part 2

    Dr. Jonny addresses scripture from the New Testament that seems to limit or restrict women in the operation and teaching of the New Testament Church. These passages were never intended to subordinate women for all eternity, but rather to bring order in a time of unprecedented freedom and liberation!

  42. Follow the Bouncing Ball

    Jesus not only came to save us, but to restore the heart of the Father. Women were created as the equal and comparable strength to men and Jesus came to liberate women into their created destiny. Dr. Jonny describes empowered women in the Old Testament and in the New Testament Church. The Spirit...

  43. Yeah, But...

    Dr. Jonny answers common questions about women in marriage, motherhood and ministry. When we drop a plumb line from the Garden of Eden, we see how scripture lines up with the Father’s original plan and heart for women. When women are promoted to their rightful place in oneness it empowers the…

    more
  44. Inseparable

    Dr. Jonny continues his position on women in marriage and the church, and how the misapplication of headship in Ephesians 5 has kept women from their rightful place in oneness with their husbands. Husbands weren’t called to rule or control their wives, but rather to live inseparable. The church...

  45. Out of Order

    Young women are leaving the church in unprecedented numbers, as they struggle to find their purpose in the body. The subordinate role of women being taught in the church has separated them from their created, rightful place as wives, mothers and ministers. Dr. Jonny begins a series on the…

    more
  46. In Our Image?

    Churches and Church leaders have the difficult task of balancing structure and surrender. Sound doctrine and orderly gatherings are essential for victorious living but do we also allow room for the Holy Spirit’s agenda, or do we confine Him to our way of doing things? “Thy kingdom come,” is a...

  47. Landslide!

    So often what happens in the natural mirrors what is happening in the spiritual. The landslide victory for conservative values this week, including a remarkable shift from young people, speaks to a generational momentum toward God’s “ways.” Dr. Jonny describes how the woke ideology is being...

  48. Church in the Lurch

    Election week is upon us, and this is not the time for the Church to be distant, quiet and hidden. The Church is called to the public square and even to politics to be the most most potent and influential force and the earth! Dr. Jonny ends the misinformation about the separation of church and...

  49. Disoriented

    The LGBTQ+ community has staggering statistics regarding depression and suicide, not because of societal rejection or bullying, but because of hurt and trauma. The church has compromised on scriptural truth regarding sexual orientation and instead of offering healing and restoration found in…

    more
  50. Crumbling Foundation?

    The secular faith is attacking our foundational beliefs. The result is a crumbling foundation and a compromised worldview. The first eleven chapters of Genesis forms the very basis and foundation of our faith, and it is not contradicted by science and is referenced by Jesus, so we need to have an...
