More Than Medicine

Send us Fan MailA military general tells Gary Dawson he has to leave the Amazon and then a little girl runs up, wraps her arms around his leg, and changes the whole tone of the confrontation. 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...

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...

Send a textA 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 lang...

Send a textTired 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 takes cent...

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’...

Send us Fan MailWhat if the fastest path to a balanced budget isn’t a new amendment at all, but simply enforcing the one we already have? 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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Send us Fan MailWhat if the flood didn’t solve the problem it seemed designed to wash away? 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...

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...
