DWDP - Gen 10:1-5 The Table of Nations
Send us Fan MailGenesis 10 is one of those chapters people skim and then forget, but it might be one of the most important “world history” pages in the Bible. We slow down and treat the Table of Nations like what it is: a family tree that explains how the post-Flood world becomes seventy nations, each with their own lands and languages. Along the way, we talk about why this record is so unusual in ancient literature, including a striking quote from renowned Near East archaeologist William F. Albright, who wasn’t writing as a believer yet still...

MTM - Interview with Carlotta Jackson..What is a Strong Woman Part One
Send us Fan Mail“What is a woman?” used to be a straightforward question. Now it can derail a courtroom, a classroom, or a family dinner and that’s exactly why we decided to talk about it plainly. Dr. Robert Jackson sits down with his wife Carlotta after she teaches a women’s message at a church luncheon, and we trace the deeper issue beneath the headlines: our culture has stopped trusting definitions that come from God’s design.We start with a word that rarely gets airtime anymore: surrender. Not religious talk, not vibes, not “I bel...

DWDP - Gen 9: 25-27 Noah's Prophecy
Send us Fan MailGenesis 9 is one of those passages people quote quickly and understand slowly. We sit with Noah’s final lines in Genesis 9:25–29 and treat them with the weight they deserve: not as throwaway comments from a wounded father, but as Spirit-guided prophecy that shapes how we think about sin, family lines, and the story of redemption after the flood.We draw surprising parallels between the fall of Adam and the fall of Noah, tracing the repeated themes of fruit, shame, covering, and curse, while refusing to end the story in despair. Scripture keep...

I’m joined by Dr. Brian Hooker, a PhD biochemical engineer and Chief Scientific Officer at Children’s Health Defense, to walk through the claims he’s studied for decades about autism regression, vaccine adverse events, and why he believes the modern childhood vaccine schedule creates risks that medicine has not honestly measured.We talk about what the schedule looks like in the first year of life, why early neurodevelopment may be uniquely vulner...

DWDP- Gen 9: 22-24 What's in Your Heart?
Send us Fan MailA single moment in Genesis 9 exposes something most of us would rather avoid: what we do with another person’s failure reveals what’s happening inside our own heart. We sit with Noah’s drunkenness and shame, then watch Ham respond in a way that feels disturbingly familiar not with protection, but with delight and a story to tell. From there, we contrast the quiet honor of Shem and Japheth, who refuse to look and choose to cover, reminding us that love doesn’t feed on embarrassment and wisdom doesn’t turn sin into enter...

MTM - Interview with Scott Schara..Is the Government Legally Killing Us? Part Two
Send us Fan MailIf the words “standard of care” sound like safety, this conversation asks you to listen closer to what those standards can demand and what they can quietly forbid. We sit down with Scott Shara to continue a frank, faith-forward talk about his book Is The Government Legally Killing Us, and why he believes the modern medical system can operate like a machine that rewards compliance more than healing. Along the way, we confront a question that hits every family sooner or later: who holds the real power in healthcare, the patient, the doctor, or t...

DWDP - Gen. 9:19-21 Noah's Sin
Send us Fan MailWe live in a world of thousands of languages and countless cultural differences, but Genesis makes a bold claim that cuts through the noise: every nation traces back to one family after the flood. That single idea can change how we talk about race, identity, and our neighbors, and it is where our devotional starts as we read Genesis 9:18-26 together.We walk through the sons of Noah and ask why the text highlights Ham as “the father of Canaan.” I share why that detail matters historically and spiritually, especially when you...

We sit down with Scott Schara, returning guest and father of Grace, to talk about his book “Is the Government Legally Killing Us?” and the case he makes that modern healthcare incentives can be engineered through law, regulation, and reimbursement so thoroughly that accountability disappears when patients are harmed.We walk through the story behind the book, including why Scott frames the title as a question...

DWDP - Gen 9: 8-17 God's Covenant in the Rainbow
Send us Fan MailA rainbow can feel like a quick, pretty moment after a storm. We take it seriously as Scripture does: a visible sign of an unbreakable promise. From Genesis 9:8–17, we walk through God’s covenant with Noah and his descendants and even with the animals, and we ask what it means that God binds himself unilaterally and unconditionally to never again destroy all flesh with a worldwide flood. That single promise turns the sky into a reminder that God is faithful even when we are not. We also tackle a thoughtful Bible quest...

MTM - John 19: 14-15 Who is Your King?
Send us Fan Mail“We have no king but Caesar.” That line from John 19 is only a few words, but it shines a harsh light on the way fear can hijack faith. I’m Dr Robert Jackson, and on More Than Medicine I read the Easter account with fresh eyes, then ask a question that refuses to stay in church language: when pressure rises, who actually rules your heart?We walk through the biblical worldview behind the moment. Israel’s history is filled with people who refused to treat rulers like gods, from Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed...

DWDP - Gen 9: 6-7 Made in God"s Image
Send us Fan MailYou don’t just have opinions, a job title, or a voting record, you carry an image. We start with Genesis 9:6-7 and follow the weight of that truth: every human being is made in the image of God, which makes life sacred and makes worship and obedience non-negotiable. If God’s likeness is stamped on you, then “half-hearted” faith stops making sense, and the question becomes personal: what are you holding back from Him?From there we fast-forward to Jesus facing a political trap about paying taxes to Caesar. He points t...

MTM - Interview with Rebecca Terrell ; Medical Freedom
Send us Fan MailCan a government agency decide what goes into your body, or your child’s body? That single question drives a frank conversation with Rebecca Terrell, a nurse and journalist, as we examine vaccine mandates through the lens of medical freedom, bodily autonomy, and informed consent. We separate “what you think about vaccines” from “what the state can force,” and we explain why that distinction matters even for people who generally support vaccination. We also dig into how public health messaging works when fear is the tool. We talk herd immunity, how “epidemic” can...

DWDP - Gen 9; 5-6 Capital Punishment-God's Command
Send us Fan MailBlood shows up everywhere in our stories, our movies, and our arguments but Genesis treats it with a gravity most of us have forgotten. We sit with Genesis 9:5–6 and slow down long enough to hear what God is actually saying: blood represents life, and life is sacred because people are made in the image of God. That single claim reshapes how we think about violence, dignity, and what we owe each other when harm is done.From that foundation, we talk about justice in the real world. Genesis 9 doesn’t hand us a...

That moment captures the heart of this conversation with Dr. Robert Jackson: what it looks like to follow a calling when the pressure is real, the stakes are high, and the outcome is out of your hands. Gary, author of Gringo Mama, shares why his family stayed in Venezuela after missionaries were expelled, and how decades of life among the...

Send us Fan MailA world remade, a family blessed, and a single command that reshapes the way we see life, food, and worship—Genesis 9:1–4 holds more than a post-flood to-do list. We open the text and trace a living thread from Noah’s altar to the cross, asking why God repeats the call to multiply, why animals now fear humans, why meat is permitted, and why blood is set apart as holy. Along the way, we weave Scripture with lived experience, including a sobering ER story that makes the phrase “the life is in the blood” unforgetta...

MTM - Interview with Joe Wolverton..Nullification
Send us Fan MailWhat if the Constitution’s simplest safeguard has been hiding in plain sight? We dive into nullification as a clean, contract-based concept: the states, as principals, created a federal agent with enumerated powers, and when that agent wanders outside the four corners of the contract, the states can treat those actions as void. No saber-rattling, no chaos—just the same logic courts use every day when parties breach an agreement.With constitutional lawyer Joe Wolverton, we unpack James Madison’s playbook from Federalist 45 and 46, where interposition and noncooperation form a peaceful path t...

DWDP- Gen 8; 21-22 God's Promise
Send us Fan MailA quiet altar on a cleansed earth lights the way for our own hearts. We open Genesis 8:21–22 and watch Noah step from judgment into grace, offering a sacrifice that Scripture calls a “soothing aroma.” From that single act, we draw a line to the cross and ask what kind of worship makes sense when the King of ages has stepped down to redeem us. Casual praise cannot carry a love like his. Passionate, grateful, all‑of‑life worship can.We unpack why the Bible says God “smelled” the aroma, exploring anthropomorphism and how human...

Send us Fan MailTired of hearing that term limits will fix Washington? We take a hard look at the logic behind capping years in office and explain why the move can backfire. With constitutional law scholar Joe Wolverton, we trace the real source of entrenched power to voter incentives, not a missing clause, and explore how frequent elections already function as the framers’ built-in check. Along the way, we unpack the risks of a Convention of States, from illusory promises to the danger of rewriting more than anyone bargained for.Hamilton’s Federalist No. 72 take...

DWDP - Gen 8-20 Noak Built an Altar
Send us Fan MailA barren mountain, soaked earth, and a small family stepping into a silent world—Noah’s first move isn’t survival strategy but worship. We open Genesis 8:20 and trace how an altar on Ararat reframes gratitude, cost, and the shape of true devotion in a new beginning. When Noah offers from every clean animal and bird, he isn’t burning excess. He’s giving up what would feed, clothe, and seed the future. That one-seventh offering cuts into comfort and reveals a heart that trusts God more than margins. From there, we follow the Bible’...

We sit down with constitutional lawyer Joe Wolverton to dismantle the popular case for a new constitutional convention and to map out a realistic, lawful way to rein in Washington’s spending. Joe traces his journey from a military family to constitutional scholarship and lays out a plain reading of the Constitution: enumerated powers are few, and everything else belongs to the states and the people. If federal actors stay...
