Pushback with Dr. Jonny

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 identity can only be found in a loving Father and in His ways.

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 hold the scientific community accountable.

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.

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 things we can’t see or understand, with the relentless pursuit of truth.

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.

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.

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 critically appraise what is released or re-released in search of what really is true.

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 straight our paths.

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.

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!
