Send us a text The 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...

MTM - Mary Had A Little Lamb Revisited Part One

Send us a text What if the manger only makes sense in the light of the cross? We follow the “trail of the Lamb” across Scripture to show why Christmas is neither accidental nor sentimental, but the unveiling of God’s long-promised Passover Lamb. From Micah’s prophecy to Bethlehem’s fields, we connect the dots between shepherds, a stable, and the larger story of redemption that began before the world and reaches its fullness at the cross. We walk through key waypoints: Adam and Eve’s covering...

DWDP - Gen 7:1 Righteousness by Faith

Send us a text The word that changes everything isn’t go—it’s come. We open Genesis 7:1 and step into Noah’s world of long silence, steady hammer blows, and an outrageous promise that demanded decades of obedience before a single drop fell. As the animals gather and the sky darkens with a first taste of lightning, we follow the thread of how faith becomes action, how action becomes righteousness credited by God, and how an invitation reshapes a family’s future. We wrestle honestly with a que...

MTM - Christmas In The Middle East

Send us a text A concrete-walled hospital, two open wards, and a handful of nurses training students to shoulder the work—our story begins there, in late-1970s Gaza, where medicine, faith, and friendship intersected with daily need. Carlotta shares how a verse in Luke moved her from homebody to journeyman nurse, and how routine dawn rounds gave way to something bigger: home health across packed refugee camps, conversations over wound care, and a classroom that doubled as a laboratory for cour...

DWDP - Gen 6:22 Noah's Faith and Obedience

Send us a text Faith that never moves is just talk. We open Genesis 6:22 and watch Noah turn belief into lumber, nails, and a century of resolve, then follow Hebrews 11 to see why obedience is the natural language of trust. From there, Abraham’s journeys and knife-edge obedience force an honest question: what good is faith that never risks, reaches, or builds? Together we map a simple, durable path for living love out loud. We start with what Jesus loved. He treasured the Word, answering tem...

MTM - Year End Book Recommendations

Send us a text Five books. One lively conversation that jumps from genetics to law, from compassion to culture, from jungle missions to a CEO’s second chance. We pulled together a year-end stack that refuses easy answers and invites deeper thinking, practical wisdom, and real hope. We start with Traced by Nathaniel T. Jeanson, a lay-friendly tour through genetics and human migrations that challenges assumptions about where we come from and how we got here. Then we turn to Vaccines Amen by at...

DWDP - Gen 6; 17-22 I am Bringing the Flood

Send us a text A global flood unlike any other, a covenant that anchors hope, and a cascade of questions modern listeners still ask—this conversation moves from the text of Genesis 6:17–21 into the texture of real life. We read the passage, sit with the gravity of mabul and kataklysmos, and consider what it means for God to sit as king over catastrophic waters while preserving life through a promise. We walk through the covenant with Noah and why its first mention shapes everything that foll...

MTM - Give Thanks unto the Lord for He is Good

Send us a text Gratitude sounds simple until stories from the field reset your compass. We open the pantry, feel the mattress under our back, turn a clean tap, and then remember widows in Haiti boiling roots to calm a hollow ache. The contrast isn’t meant to shame; it’s meant to wake us up. When abundance becomes invisible, we forget how to see it—and how to share it. I walk through the everyday mercies that carry us: food security, a roof that keeps out the rain, sanitation that quietly pre...

DWDP - Gen 6; 13-16 Make for Yourself an Ark.

Send us a text A world soaked in violence. A warning no one wanted. A colossal barge with one door and a promise that judgment would not have the final word. We open Genesis 6:13–16 and follow the details many skip: gopher wood, three decks, precise dimensions, and a sealing pitch that does more than waterproof—it whispers the first hint of atonement. Along the way, we share a striking story from the Middle East, where a nursing student’s night vision of flowing blood confirmed the gospel she...

MTM - Interview with Chad Murray

Send us a text A veteran narcotics investigator pulls back the curtain on how major drug cases really come together—without the TV gloss. We sit down with Chad Murray, a former local narcotics leader and ATF task force officer, to map the routes, decisions, and human stakes that define modern drug enforcement across the Southeast. Chad explains how I‑85 and Atlanta act as arteries for meth, guns, and cash, and why “force multiplier” task forces matter when small counties don’t have the budge...

DWDP - Gen 6 11-13 Why God Brought the Flood

Send us a text A world once drowned in corruption and violence feels uncomfortably familiar. We open Genesis 6:11–13 and ask hard questions about what God saw then and what He sees now—how cultures drift toward destruction, how violence gets normalized, and why judgment, though severe, is the just response of a holy and loving God. Along the way, we linger on Noah’s family, the power and limits of godly influence, and the honest reality that every child chooses a path. Influence forms, but it...

MTM - Why are we giving Hepatitis B Vaccine to Newborns?

Send us a text A newborn’s first day should be calm, not a crash course in public health policy. We dive into why a vaccine built for adult risk factors—unprotected sex and shared needles—became a universal ritual in the nursery, and we trace the decisions, incentives, and safety debates that cemented it there. From hospital “quality measures” that reward blanket compliance to maternal screening protocols that already catch most perinatal risk, we examine whether universal dosing truly delive...

DWDP - Gen 6; 14

Send us a text Widespread violence. A single family building a vast ark. A promise sealed with a rainbow. We open Genesis 6 and take a hard look at whether Noah stands as legend or as sober history—and why that question shapes the way we read every page of Scripture. Rather than argue about trivia, we trace how the Bible itself treats Noah: Isaiah anchors God’s covenant to the “waters of Noah,” Ezekiel lists Noah with Daniel and Job as exemplars of righteousness, and the genealogies in Chroni...

MTM - Interview with Ursula Conway..Arizona Chapter CHD

We sit with Ursula Conway to unpack how a Word document became a public resource adopted by Children’s Health Defense and designed for anyone who needs clear, searchable evidence without the noise. We walk through how cl...

DWDP - Gen 7-9 Noah Found Grace

Send us a text A single line flips the darkest chapter into a story of hope: “But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.” We open Genesis 6:7–9 and follow that thread of grace through judgment, obedience, and a faith that dared to build before rain existed. Rather than offering a neat moral, we slow down to trace a five-step progression that runs through Noah’s life and our own: grace, justification, sanctification, walking with God, and good works. It’s the same arc Ephesians 2:8–10 lays ...

Interview with Michelle Gershman - Whistleblower, OB Nurse- Effect of Covid Vax on Pregnant Moms

Our guest, an OB nurse in California, describes the first time she was told to give a hepatitis B shot to a healthy newborn—and the gut-deep resistance that sent her searching through ingredient lists, safety thresholds, and the true indications for a vaccine usually tied to maternal status or later-life exposure. What began as a quiet unease became a conviction: parents deserve clear, pressure-free informed consent befo...

DWDP - Gen 6; 5-6, Can God Repent?

Send us a text A single line in Genesis 6 says the thoughts of the human heart were only evil continually—and that God was grieved. From that stark diagnosis, we open a candid journey through divine sorrow, human responsibility, and the fierce mercy that waits before judgment falls. We look at why Scripture sometimes says God “repents,” how that language reflects our change rather than His, and why that matters for anyone trying to live clean in a culture that normalizes compromise. We walk ...

Interview with Jeannie Smith of the Coastline CPC

Dr. Robert Jackson sits down with Jeannie Smith—once a patient in a crisis pregnancy center, now the executive director of Coastline Women’s Center—to trace how one decision reshaped her future and why she now advocates for South Carolina’s SB 323. Jeannie opens up about the pain of an abortion in her past, the miraculous healing that followed, and the calling that led her to leave a medical car...

DWDP - Gen 6 ; 4 There were Giants in the Earth

Send us a text Giants stride through ancient pages, but the real story here is how renown without righteousness corrodes a world. We open Genesis 6 and meet the Nephilim, trace the root of their name to “fallen,” and explore how demonic influence, cultural myth, and biblical testimony converge around an age swollen with power and soaked in violence. Along the way, we connect paleontology’s record of outsized creatures and the cross‑cultural memory of giants with Scripture’s concern: when stre...

MTM - Interview with Mark Baumgartner

Send us a text A single question over breakfast can reroute a life. That’s how Mark Baumgartner, a former airline and corporate pilot, found himself trading flight plans for a green vest on a Columbia sidewalk—armed with a simple card, a phone number, and a promise of help. One mother stopped at the top of a hill, turned around, and asked, “Can you really help me?” Months later, Mark received a midnight photo of Chloe, “my precious gift from God.” That moment became the name and heartbeat of ...

DWDP - Gen 3;3 My Spirit shall not strive with man forever

Send us a text What if the most sobering line in Genesis isn’t about giants or an ark, but about a God who finally stops striving with a hardened people? We open Genesis 6:3 and sit with the text until it searches us—Spirit versus flesh, patience versus presumption, and the long runway of mercy that ran out in the days of Noah. Along the way, we trace how theologians read the 120 years, why Paul’s words in Galatians 5 throw a spotlight on our daily choices, and how a very human story of rebuk...
