Pushback with Dr. Jonny

The nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett for the United States Supreme Court has resulted in a political and cultural firestorm as she is already being attacked for her religious views, her stance on abortion and even for her adoption of two children from Haiti. Dr. Jonny explains that the “Spirit of Adoption” is the very heart of the Father and central to the plan and mission of Jesus.  Adopting a child into your family is one of the highest and purest forms of worship and is a direct reflection of heaven itself. Therefore, endorsing and adding this Christian conservative Judge to the Supreme Court will be incredibly consequential toward the healing and restoration of our culture.

Ronald Reagan said, “There isn’t a problem we can’t solve if government will give us the facts, tell us what needs to be done and then get out of the way and let us have at it.” Many state governments have handled the Covid pandemic by overreaching with the authority given to them by the people. This has resulted in anger, mistrust, frustration and even conspiracy theories. Dr. Jonny postulates on what would have happened with this crisis if the government informed us and then got out of the way.  More importantly, he exhorts us to be informed and vigilant so that the micromanaging of our lives by government doesn’t become the new normal.

The Black Lives Matter movement has brought attention and started conversations about our racial tension and inequity in our country. The movement is seeking justice, answers and real change, however, the messaging has often been confusing, divisive and distracting.  Dr. Jonny looks to seize this current cultural opportunity by suggesting clear and effective language that can rally our nation together, promote unity and result in real change.

If we accept the Biblical and Scientific truth that there are no races, the conversation can change from “us versus them” to “our fellow Americans.” Change always begins inwardly, with our own heart, as we explore our own prejudices and pursue healing and health for our American culture.  Dr. Jonny shares his own journey this week, and encourages us all to just listen, look inward, not become complacent or distracted, and continue to work to become one nation, under God.

Voting is the ultimate way to express love for your country.  By voting and becoming informed, we can fearlessly change the destructive mud-slinging culture in our current political system.  Dr. Jonny compels you to inject yourself into the political process to honor those who paid the price for our democracy and to send a powerful message to the politicians about what is important to you and your family.

When faced with important decisions in our life, closed doors are as important as open doors, and we should rejoice over both. Furthermore, we shouldn’t let the result of a decision determine the right of the decision.  Dr. Jonny tells stories from his life and from others, where the Father wasn’t looking for perfect results, but rather, was looking for radical obedience.

The most indolent, serious and dangerous word as Christians is the word complacency. We have been born into a war and we all have a part to play in the advancement of His kingdom.  Dr. Jonny passionately exhorts you to rise up and discover why you are here on this planet. We need to break out of the stuporous culture that compels us to snuggle in, and reposition ourselves toward a radical future.

Dr. Jonny explains that abortion is the most important topic he will ever talk about and the most important cultural topic of our lifetime.  We need to filter out all the distracting conversations and get to the only question that really matters: “when does life begin?”  There have been many examples throughout history where one powerful people group have arbitrarily decided that another people group are less than human.  Time would prove that they were are the wrong side of history!  If we learn from history and decide that at conception there is an American life, that must be protected, we will never be wrong!

As with any decision in life, we are constantly weighing the risk vs benefit for a certain behavior or decision. The same is true when discussing our own health, especially when deciding to vaccinate.  With the COVID-19 vaccine on the horizon, we need to decide if this is a safe and effective solution for this global crisis.  Dr. Jonny respectfully explores the common concerns people have about vaccines, so the decision you make for you and your family will be a sound and informed decision.

Whoever makes a claim needs to accept the burden of proof.  With a Covid-19 vaccine on the horizon, we need to sift through various claims about the vaccine and focus on the proof behind the claims. Dr. Jonny reviews some negative claims about current vaccines to see if they stand up to the burden of proof. We are all on the same team, so we can work together to discover what is best for ourselves, our families and our culture.
