Pushback with Dr. Jonny

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! 

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 was poured out on all flesh, male and female, and it is time for the Church to operate in full capacity!

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 home, the body of Christ and the next generation.

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 needs to be all it was created to be in order to impact and equip the next generation!

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.
