What if your symptoms aren’t mistakes, but messages? We sit down with Dr. Vaughn, a traditional naturopath and iridologist, to explore a faith-forward approach to health that treats the body as a temple and creation as a toolkit designed for healing. Instead of reaching first for suppression, we look at how sunlight, minerals, whole foods, and targeted herbs help the body do what it’s made to do—cleanse, repair, and restore.

We unpack the crucial difference between forcing actions with pharmaceuticals and supporting function with nature. From blood pressure meds that override the body’s changing needs to herbs like milk thistle and dandelion that scale with your biology, we show why “God’s design versus man’s design” isn’t just theology; it’s practical physiology. Symptoms become signals—fever as an immune strategy, coughing as clearance, skin as an exit route—guiding us toward root causes rather than masking discomforts that later turn chronic.

The conversation gets real on cravings, too. We talk parasites, blood sugar swings, and spiritual strongholds that keep us stuck in cycles of coffee, sweets, and late nights. You’ll hear how fasting, prayer, circadian light, and nutrient-dense foods can reset appetite and attention. We also dive into pregnancy and liver health, sharing stories and tools like safe herbal support and beef liver for B vitamins, and how gentle detox between pregnancies can transform morning sickness, energy, and overall resilience.

If you’re ready to trade confusion for clarity, suppression for alignment, and quick fixes for sustainable healing, this episode offers a compassionate roadmap. Learn how to read your body’s signals, work with creation, and invite God into every step of your health journey.

What if the path to real healing starts with awe—at how you were designed—and the courage to ask why your body is speaking up? We sit down with Dr. Vaughn Lawrence, a traditional naturopath and iridologist, for a candid, faith-forward journey from corporate success and spiritual emptiness to founding Spirit of Health, a clinic built on education, empowerment, and the conviction that God still heals.

Vaughn opens up about his redemption story, then moves straight into the heart of root-cause care. Instead of chasing labels, he looks for the terrain: parasites, mold toxicity, Lyme and co-infections, heavy metals, and chemicals that suppress immunity and inflame tissues. You’ll hear a striking case of a young mother whose “mystery illness” turned out to be extreme mold exposure—and how targeted cleansing, diet strategy, and persistence rebuilt her life. For parents navigating eczema, brain fog, or stubborn gut issues, Vaughn explains why gentle parasite cleanses can transform kids’ skin and sleep when standard approaches stall.

We also cover iridology—how the iris can reflect constitutional patterns, congestion, and even generational tendencies. It’s not mysticism; it’s a non-invasive tool that complements smart testing and a biblical view of the body. Vaughn shares his clinic’s vision and creed: Jesus as the source of life and healing, the body’s God-given capacity to repair, and the role of herbs and natural therapies aligned with creation’s design. Pain becomes an indicator rather than a target to silence. The home becomes the first clinic, where families learn to steward their health with wisdom, resilience, and hope.

If you’re ready to move beyond symptom management into purposeful, faith-led medicine—with practical steps for detox, testing, and rebuilding—this conversation will give you clarity and courage. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs fresh hope, and leave a review to help more people discover root-cause healing grounded in truth.

What if the modern medical system didn’t just evolve—it was engineered? We follow the money from oil refineries to lecture halls to see how Rockefeller-era funding, petrochemicals, and media campaigns reshaped Western medicine into a streamlined business. Along the way, we connect the serpent-and-staff imagery to a larger theme: commerce entwined with care, profits guiding the path from medical school curricula to the ads filling our screens.

We unpack the Flexner Report and how it standardized education around allopathic methods while sidelining diet, herbs, and holistic approaches that once had significant footing in the United States. That shift didn’t happen in a vacuum; it coincided with synthetic vitamins, lab-made compounds, and a patent model that rewarded drugs and procedures over prevention. We get candid about cancer care guardrails, why “a pill for an ill” became cultural default, and how direct-to-consumer advertising built markets by turning symptoms into sales funnels. The result: world-leading costs, middling outcomes, and a persistent cycle of side effects that demand more prescriptions.

This is also a conversation about agency and faith. We share practical reflections on stepping back from routine medications when safe and appropriate, working with practitioners who understand nutrition and root-cause healing, and asking better questions at the point of care. The goal isn’t to reject emergency medicine or lifesaving treatments—it’s to reclaim a vision of health that restores, not just suppresses. If you’re ready to examine the incentives beneath the white coat and pursue a more integrated path to healing, press play and join the mission.

What if the most familiar symbols in healthcare point to a story far older—and more spiritual—than we realize? We open the vault on pharmakeia, tracing a line from Greek temples and serpent emblems to today’s medical branding, and ask what those roots mean for followers of Jesus navigating modern care. This isn’t a takedown of doctors or a denial of emergency medicine. It’s an invitation to discernment: learn the history, weigh the language, and test the spirits behind the practices that promise healing but can foster dependence.

We unpack the caduceus and the staff of Asclepius, meet Hygieia and Panacea, and consider why serpents show up across ancient cultures. With Genesis 6 as a guide, we explore how myths about “gods” may reflect the Nephilim narrative, adding depth to the Bible’s warnings about sorcery and deception. Along the way, we name the conditioning that trains us to mute symptoms and move on—when pain might be a God-given signal to find the root cause. Instead of fear, we advocate a God-centered approach to health: prayer, wise counsel, lifestyle stewardship, and careful use of tools that align with design.

You’ll also hear about upcoming conversations with practitioners who champion partnering with God for health and a preview of where we’re headed next: Western medicine’s industrial pivot and how funding, research, and incentives reshaped the marketplace. The aim is clarity, not cynicism; hope, not hype. We honor the good within medicine while shining light on the stories behind its symbols.

What if a single word could change how you think about medicine, choice, and the body? We take a hard look at pharmacia—the term translated as sorcery in Scripture—and follow its trail into our modern world of pharmacies, prescriptions, and promises of consequence-free living. Without offering medical advice, we unpack research, history, and our own experiences to ask better questions about intent, impact, and the line between healing and control.

We explore where pharmakia appears in Galatians and Revelation, what the Greek and Latin roots suggest about drugs, poisons, and enchantments, and how the Book of Enoch’s picture of the Watchers teaching “the cutting of roots” informs the moral tension around knowledge without wisdom. From there, we trace the cultural shift that makes quick fixes feel normal: direct-to-consumer drug ads, influencer endorsements, and a consent process that often feels more like marketing than meaningful choice. In that light, symptoms like headaches or fevers become signals to respect, not simply mute.

We also examine hormonal birth control through the lens of design and discernment, contrasting it with fertility awareness methods that cooperate with the body. The goal isn’t to shame choices but to elevate informed consent, root-cause thinking, and faith-led decision-making. We talk about risk trade-offs, how fear of death shapes our health choices, and why prayer, research, and humility can bring peace even when answers are messy. If you’ve ever wondered where medicine serves us and where it steers us, this conversation will meet you with curiosity and courage.

What if the “healthy” choices we’ve been sold are quietly making us sick? We pull back the curtain on the food deception—how modern diets drifted from God’s design and why so many of us feel inflamed, foggy, and dependent on quick fixes. With a clear, Scripture-rooted lens, we define real food as God made it, unpack the meat debate without the culture-war noise, and examine how our plates changed over the past 200, 100, and 50 years as factories, seed oils, sugar, and convenience reshaped the way we eat.

I share my own AIP journey, practical shopping strategies, and simple meal ideas that prove real food doesn’t have to be complicated, bland, or expensive. We talk about the hidden loop that links processed food to chronic conditions—and the medications that often follow—then lay out small, doable steps to opt out: reading labels without obsessing, shopping the perimeter, choosing grass-fed and wild-caught when possible, and prioritizing organic for high-spray crops. We also tackle the bread question head-on, exploring what changed with wheat, why so many feel “gluten sensitive,” and how home milling and slow fermentation point back to a more nourishing pattern.

Beyond nutrition, we address the spiritual side of eating—gratitude, stewardship, and the quiet rebellion of choosing food that gives life. You’ll leave with reflection prompts, a calmer plan for your next grocery trip, and hope that every home-cooked meal is a step away from confusion and toward clarity. If this resonates, share it with someone you love, subscribe for more faith-and-health conversations, and leave a review to help others find the show.

The headlines are noisy, but your body’s alarms are wiser. We dive into the growing debate around Tylenol, pregnancy, and autism—not to fan fear, but to restore discernment. I share why I stopped treating headaches like random lightning strikes, how acetaminophen actually works in the brain and liver, and what multiple studies suggest about prenatal exposure and neurodevelopmental risk. From there, we zoom out to the bigger toxic puzzle—ultra-processed foods, synthetic fragrances, chronic stress—and how these everyday inputs stack into symptoms we keep muting instead of decoding.

I pull back the curtain on why our system excels at managing crises yet often stumbles on prevention and root-cause care. We talk about the historical pivot that elevated patentable drugs while sidelining natural approaches, and why that still shapes what’s labeled “safe” or “unscientific.” This isn’t an anti-medicine rant. It’s an invitation to ask better questions, especially during pregnancy, when delicate signaling guides development. You’ll hear practical, low-risk alternatives for common discomforts: mineral-rich hydration, protein-stabilized blood sugar, removing fragrances, gentle movement, rest, and targeted nutrients with provider guidance.

Faith threads through the conversation as a compass for freedom over fear. If the body is designed with wisdom, symptoms are messages, not enemies. By tracking patterns, cleaning up inputs, and reserving meds for when they truly serve us, we trade reflex for stewardship. Ready to step off the pain-pill-repeat treadmill and listen to what your body is saying? Press play, share this with a friend who needs it, and tell us: which alarm are you finally ready to hear?

The headlines say we’ve never had more “health care,” yet our families feel more exhausted, inflamed, and overwhelmed than ever. We open a new series that re-examines wellness through God’s design—moving beyond symptom management to honest, practical steps that restore energy, clarity, and resilience. Rebecca shares a personal postpartum wake-up: an active Epstein-Barr diagnosis that forced a reckoning with survival-mode habits. By shifting to simple whole foods, removing sugar and processed ingredients, and supporting sleep and the immune system, she experienced less inflammation, steadier energy, and real momentum—without chasing fads or quick fixes.

Together we explore why the modern system often keeps us dependent, how ultra-processed foods are engineered to hook our brains, and why many common drugs manage symptoms rather than address root causes. From Psalm 139 to 1 Corinthians 6, we ground the conversation in biblical stewardship: the body as a temple, fearfully and wonderfully made, designed with detox pathways and immune intelligence. That lens reframes health as obedience and freedom, not fear—an invitation to align inputs with design and to choose habits that honor the One who made us.

We also preview what’s ahead in the series: a critical look at “safe” over-the-counter staples like Tylenol, what’s actually in our food and how it shapes children’s health, a frank revisit to vaccine ingredients and ethics, plus stress, sleep, and spiritual warfare. Walk away with reflection questions to guide your week and a simple challenge: ask whether your next bite or pill nourishes or just numbs. If this resonates, share the episode with a friend, subscribe for the series, and leave a review so more people can find these conversations. Your body was built for resilience—let’s align with its design.

Could everything we've been taught about dinosaurs be wrong? As a self-proclaimed dinosaur skeptic, I'm challenging the narrative that's been drilled into us since childhood. It's fascinating to discover that the word "dinosaur" didn't even exist until 1841. Before that, cultures worldwide spoke of dragons in their historical records, artwork, and legends. The timing of dinosaur "discoveries" suspiciously aligned with the spread of Darwin's evolutionary theory—both needing deep time and fantastical creatures to support their claims.

Looking deeper reveals troubling inconsistencies. Most dinosaur reconstructions are built from surprisingly few bone fragments, with artists filling in massive gaps using imagination rather than evidence. Many proposed dinosaur physiologies present biological impossibilities—creatures too heavy to support their own weight or requiring impossibly large hearts. The field has been plagued by fraud, from the Archaeoraptor hoax announced by National Geographic to the shocking revelation that both the T-Rex and Velociraptor were essentially invented by Henry Fairfield Osborne, a wealthy railroad tycoon's son with powerful connections. Even the dating methods rely on circular reasoning: fossils date the rocks while rocks date the fossils.

The Bible offers a different perspective, describing massive creatures like Behemoth with "bones like bronze and a tail like a cedar tree" and Leviathan, a terrifying sea creature capable of breathing fire. These descriptions align with dragon accounts recorded across cultures for thousands of years. This isn't just about bones—it's about authority. Will we trust God's consistent Word about creation, or theories built on fragments and fabrications? As you reflect on this controversial topic, consider how this perspective might change your understanding of creation and help you recognize potential deception in what we're taught as scientific fact. If you found this episode thought-provoking, share it with someone who might appreciate this alternative view on prehistoric life.

Where did everything come from? It's perhaps humanity's most profound question, and the answer shapes our entire worldview. While mainstream education presents the Big Bang and evolution as settled science, this episode challenges these narratives by examining their logical and scientific shortcomings.

We journey through the historical shift in American education – from a time when biblical creation was taught in classrooms to today's environment where questioning evolution brands you as unscientific. But what if the emperor has no clothes? The Big Bang theory can't explain how something came from nothing, how an explosion created order rather than chaos, or how life emerged from non-living matter. Meanwhile, evolution struggles with gaps in the fossil record, the complexity of DNA, and the second law of thermodynamics.

Most surprisingly, thousands of respected scientists across disciplines are rejecting Darwin's theory. Over 1,200 scientists worldwide have signed statements expressing skepticism that random mutation and natural selection can explain life's complexity. As Dr. Douglas Axe notes, "Because no scientist can show how Darwin's mechanism can produce the complexity of life, every scientist should be skeptical."

The biblical account offers a refreshingly coherent alternative: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." This isn't merely a religious position – it's increasingly supported by scientific evidence. The fine-tuning of universal constants, the information-rich nature of DNA, and the order we observe throughout the cosmos all point to intelligent design rather than random chance.

Why does this matter? If we compromise on creation, we weaken the foundation of our faith. Our children deserve to know that science and Scripture aren't opposed – honest scientific inquiry points right back to the Creator. "For in him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible. All things have been created through him and for him" (Colossians 1:16).
