DWDP - Gen 8: 18-19 What Happened to the Dinosaurs?
Send us Fan MailWhat if the real dinosaur debate isn’t about bones, but about the story we use to read them? We take you from ancient dragon legends and striking biblical descriptions to modern fossil labs that report soft tissue in dinosaur remains, then ask why two smart people can study the same evidence and land on timelines that are worlds apart. Rather than dodging the hard questions, we walk straight into them: Could Noah have housed dinosaur kinds on the Ark? Why do so many cultures remember great reptiles? And how do post-flood changes—shor...

MTM - Interview with Joe Wolverton..Whats Wrong with a Con-Con?
Send us Fan MailWant to change Washington by rewriting the rules? Not so fast. We sit down with constitutional lawyer Joe Wolverton to pull back the curtain on the modern push for an Article V constitutional convention—and why the promise of a “limited” convention is a myth with stakes too high to ignore. Joe walks us through the lean language of Article V, showing how it lacks guidance on delegate selection, voting rules, convention scope, and enforcement. That vacuum invites capture by big money and national organizations eager to shape the charter itself, putting core rights...

DWDP - Gen 8: 14-17 Go Out of the Ark
Send us Fan MailA sealed door. A silent pause. Then rain on a roof no one had ever heard before. We open with the stark drama of ark dark and follow Noah’s family from fear to freedom, tracing how God first invites people into rest and then sends them out with purpose. That rhythm—come in for refuge, go out for mission—becomes the thread that ties Genesis 8 to the words of Jesus and the everyday choices we face.We walk through the text where God tells Noah’s family to leave the ark and...

MTM - Interview with Dan Fenton/Patriot Academy
Send us Fan MailEver wonder why so many smart people feel lost when policy gets real? We invited Dan Fenton from Patriot Academy to walk us through a practical path from frustration to action—one living room class, one church cohort, one teen legislative debate at a time. Dan’s story moves from aviation management and profound personal loss to a renewed calling: equip citizens to understand the Constitution from the founders’ own words and use that knowledge to love their neighbors through clear, local action.We unpack the heartbeat of Patriot Academy, founded by for...

DWDP - Gen 8:13-14 Noah Removed the Covering of the Ark and Looked
Send us Fan MailA man lifts the covering of an ark and stares into a world made strange—mud-caked plains, unsettled skies, and the quiet left by judgment. We walk through that moment with Noah and trace the precise timeline of birds, days, and decisions, then widen the lens to the sweeping changes a global cataclysm could unleash. Oceans growing, mountains heaving upward, climates splitting into ice and desert, and human lifespans bending downward—each thread connects to a coherent picture of a post-flood Earth.From there we head beneath our feet. Fossil beds span...

MTM - Interview with Brian Hooker PhD
Send us Fan MailStart with the data, stay with the people. That’s the pulse of our conversation with Brian Hooker, PhD—biochemical engineer, researcher, and chief scientific officer at Children’s Health Defense—who traces how a family crisis led to two decades of FOIA digging, contested publications, and a book designed to make complex evidence visible to every parent. We unpack what happens when you compare vaccinated and unvaccinated groups in real-world studies, why some signals around chronic illness and neurodevelopment keep appearing, and how clear visuals can change minds faster than long abstracts.<br...

DWDP - Gen 8: 5-14 Noah Opened the Window of the Ark
Send us Fan MailA dove with an olive leaf, a window cracked open to a washed world, and a family waiting for dry ground—Genesis 8 gives us a vivid frame to see God’s justice and mercy side by side. We walk through Noah’s long year, trace the raven and the dove, and face the question many raise today: can a loving God also judge? Rather than dodge the tension, we let Scripture guide us from the Flood to Sodom and Gomorrah and forward to Revelation’s winepress, where heaven itself declares that God’s judgments...

Send us Fan MailA plane touches down in Bethel and everything changes. What began as a single trip becomes a years-long commitment to Alaska’s remote villages, shaped not by big events but by small tables, shared stories, and the courage to listen. We open up about what we learned from Native communities—family first, care for elders, and the quiet strength of sharing—and how that humility reshaped our mission from “bringing answers” to honoring God’s image in culture and walking with people through real pain.We talk frankly about the hard realities: h...

DWDP - Gen 8 : 4 The Search for the Ark
Send us Fan MailA single verse in Genesis launches a century-spanning adventure: did Noah’s Ark truly rest on the mountains of Ararat, and can it be found today? We trace the trail from ancient testimony to modern expeditions, weighing bold claims, failed climbs, and famous controversies along the way. From Josephus and Chrysostom to Frederick Parrot, James Bryce, and astronaut James Irwin, the mountain draws explorers with the promise of proof and the hope of closure. The Russian aviator tale unravels under scrutiny, and the Durupinar “boat” shape bends back to geology, reminding us how easily...

Send us Fan MailWhat if you reached 24 without ever hearing the gospel in a way that made sense? That’s the question at the center of Corey’s gripping story—an Alaskan childhood marked by addiction, years in juvenile detention, and a November night under bright stars that felt like a crossroads. Two surprising messengers—a man in a drug house and a grieving father—tell him the same thing: give your life to Jesus. In treatment, Romans 5:8 lands like an arrow, and the room shifts from shame to hope. Corey can’t keep quiet. He starts meeti...

We walk through Genesis 8 and discover a world drying out under God’s command while eight sinners step into sunlight with the same hearts they had before the storm. “God remembered Noah” becomes a banner for renewed action, not divine forgetfulness, and the wind over the waters invites us to hear creation’s echo: order returning at the word of the Lord.We unpack the timelines that often blur in memory — forty days of rain, one hundred and...

MTM - Weight Loss Goals and GLP-1 Inhibitors
Send us Fan MailResolutions don’t work without a decision. We open with three unforgettable transformations—a highway worker shedding 220 pounds through daily walks and a simple menu, a granddad reclaiming the floor with a six-inch plate, and a construction pro who walked in rain, sleet, and blazing sun to lose 160 pounds on keto. Each story proves the turning point isn’t a trend or gadget; it’s the choice to change, followed by small, repeatable habits that outlast motivation.From there we get practical and candid about GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide. We expla...

Send us Fan MailWater has a memory for anyone who has stood near a roaring river, but Genesis 7–8 asks us to reckon with something far larger: waters that prevailed on the earth for 150 days and a world that did not look the same afterward. We open the text, trace the timeline from the first burst of the fountains of the deep to the day Noah steps onto dry ground, and walk through why the account reads like history, not metaphor. Along the way, we use vivid, real-world images of floods and ice-laden torrents to help you im...

MTM - Measles Mini Epidemic in South Carolina
Send us Fan MailHeadlines shout epidemic, but we ask a different set of questions: What does the baseline look like, who is truly at risk, and which practical steps actually matter? We dig into the meaning of “outbreak,” how population size and local conditions affect risk, and why sanitation and nutrition historically drove down mortality long before modern tools. That lens helps separate legitimate concern from manufactured panic and gives families a steadier way to respond when cases spike.We also explore how incentives shape the story. News cycles lean toward the dramatic, and clin...

DWDP - Gen 7: 17-23 And the Flood Came
Send us Fan MailA rising sea, a rising question: can we trust the plain words of Genesis when everything around us urges a softer read? We open Genesis 7:17–23 and trace the language, the logic, and the stakes of a global Flood, exploring how God’s justice, patience, and mercy meet in one world-shaping event. Along the way, we talk through the Hebrew term mabbul, the repeated claims that “all the high mountains” were covered, and the eyewitness feel of the account that describes waters prevailing, increasing, and overwhelming.We also examine the cultural pressure points...

We sit down with Dr. Matt Clark—physician, pastor, and executive director of Personhood South Carolina—to trace personhood from Genesis to the Constitution and ask what equal protection really demands before and after birth. Drawing on scripture, state law, and firsthand stories from clinic sidewalks, we examine why carving out abortion as an exception clashes with both moral clarity and legal consistency, and how misdirected compassion can actually deepen harm for women and children.We unpack the core claim that all humans bear...

We start with that order and build a clear, humble path through the text—pinpointing the stated date, probing what “calendar” might mean, and following the thread back to creation where waters above and waters below shaped an ordered world. Along the way, we open Proverbs 8 to hear wisdom speak of springs before their appearing, widening our view of how Scripture interprets Scripture.From there, we explor...

Send us Fan MailThe headlines are loud, but the questions underneath are louder: Is the Israel we read about in scripture connected to the nation we see on today’s maps? And if so, what responsibility do Christians carry in a moment of grief, fear, and rising antisemitism? We invited Dr. Michael Clore—pastor, missionary, and longtime student of Israel—to help us sort conviction from clickbait and text from talking points.We start by mapping the terrain: why some public figures say Christians shouldn’t support Israel, and why that misses what Paul argues i...

We walk through the text on clean and unclean animals, why seven pairs mattered, and what the timing before the rain may signal about God’s patience and human sorrow. Along the way, we revisit infamous scientific misreads like Nebraska Man and ask the unsettling question the judge raised to the star witness: were you there?From that pivot, we focus on wh...

Angels announce the news to shepherds tending Passover flocks. John the Baptist points with a single word—Behold. And the virgin birth steps out of sentiment and into necessity, establishing the sinless life required for a once‑for‑all sacrifice.Across the final...
