Pushback with Dr. Jonny

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 Father’s heart for women, by describing the original marriage in Genesis Chapters 1 and 2. Husbands ruling over their wives, as noted in Genesis 3, was the result of sin and the fall; it wasn’t the new order…it was the out of order! 

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 powerful prayer, but it can also be messy, unpredictable and even uncomfortable.  The next generation is comfortable with the uncomfortable…as longs it leads to an authentic encounter!

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 rejected and that we, as the church, have an incredible opportunity to fill the void with a landslide of freedom and truth!

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 state and calls us to never take for granted the freedoms we have inherited.

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 Jesus, they have “given them over” to the lusts of their hearts. We, the church, can save our children by offering the answer to their problems…the uncompromising truth mixed with uncompromising compassion!

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 uncompromising confidence in all of scripture and boldly promote its promises to the next generation.

A recent survey showed that only 6% of self-proclaimed Christians and only 1/3 of pastors have a Biblical worldview! Absolute truth is a person, and the church cannot profess a belief in relative truth and at the same time profess a belief in Jesus. The church is in a compromising position, and the younger generation sees it, and is rejecting it. It is time to pushback, rise up, and be the glorious church that re-presents Jesus on the earth!

Jesus is the answer to all our problems and the church has been given the task to make Him and His Kingdom known. Unfortunately, church attendance and Christian affiliation is declining and the next generation is leaving because they are after a real encounter with the presence of an authentic God that offers authentic love. Dr. Jonny calls for church leaders to demonstrate the works of Jesus and even greater works!

Voting is the ultimate way to express love for your country.  Dr. Jonny compels you to inject yourself into the political process to send a powerful message to the politicians about what is important to you and your family. Voting is about influence and saving our children from dangerous policy.

By becoming hyphenated Americans, we have unknowingly allowed a political spirit to cause a deep division in our country.  Dr. Jonny proposes that despite political, social and racial unrest, politicians have intentionally categorized us and have pit us against each other. We can save our children by protecting them from this division, and by demanding that politicians champion Americanism!
