    MTM - Interview with Mark Lynch

    Send us Fan Mail Lindsey Graham gets booed in his own backyard and a challenger steps forward with a very different pitch. We sit down with Mark Lynch, a Greenville business owner, church deacon, and longtime grassroots organiser, to hear why he’s running for the US Senate in South Carolina and why he thinks the upstate is ready to replace a career incumbent. Along the way, we talk candidly about faith, family, and the cost of standing in the fire once national money and attack ads show up. We dig into the issue that matters most to us: pro life conviction with equal protection under the law. Mark lays out why he believes life begins at conception, why “15 weeks” still leaves room for injustice, and why laws should protect the unborn the same way they protect the born. We also wrestle with endorsements, asking how major pro life organisations can support candidates who accept later abortion limits. If you care about pro life legislation, Christian conservative politics, or how values translate into votes, this part will challenge you. Then we shift to the mechanics of power: grassroots organising, prayer teams, Trump’s endorsement decisions, and why a constitutional voting record matters more than campaign branding. Mark also responds to drug related smear ads by clarifying his stance on controlled substances and sharing a personal addiction recovery testimony that reframes his past as redemption rather than scandal. We close with a practical push for South Carolina’s open primary, how to help, and where listeners can get involved.

    DWDP- Gen 10:6-20 Nimrod, A Mighty Hunter of Men

    Send us Fan Mail Genealogies usually get skipped, but Genesis 10 refuses to be background noise. When you slow down, the Table of Nations becomes a map of the world after the flood and a warning about what the human heart does with power. I’m Dr. Robert Jackson, and we walk through Genesis 10:6–20 with a focus on the sons of Ham, tying biblical names to real places like Ethiopia, Egypt, and Libya so the text lands in history instead of floating in abstraction.  Then we zero in on one of the most haunting figures in early Genesis: Nimrod. Scripture calls him a mighty one and a mighty hunter, and we explore how his story connects to Babel in the land of Shinar and to the building of major cities that echo throughout the Old Testament, including Nineveh in Assyria. This is more than ancient trivia. It’s a picture of how rebellion can gather followers, reshape a culture, and persuade people to trust human judgment over God’s word.  We also trace Canaan’s line and the Canaanite tribes that later fill the promised land narrative, placing Israel’s arrival into its true context. Finally, we ask the question that brings the passage to life: where is Jesus here? Nimrod’s “let us rebel” becomes a mirror of our sin nature and a call to discernment, worship, and refuge in the Son.

    MTM - Interview with Carlotta Jackson..What is a Strong Woman Part Two

    Send us Fan Mail The world keeps selling women a noisy kind of strength, but what if real strength is quiet, steady, and surrendered? Carlotta Jackson joins me to finish her message on the question “What is a strong woman?” and we take it straight to Scripture with seven unforgettable portraits that challenge modern definitions of power, identity, and success. We start with Ruth and the first decision every believer has to make: who am I, and who do I belong to? From there, we talk about gratitude and forgiveness through the woman in Luke 7, and why bitterness from unmet expectations can quietly poison a heart, a home, and even a marriage. Anna shows us what long obedience looks like, and Esther shows us Spirit-empowered courage and self-control when fear feels loud and consequences feel real. Then we get practical about spiritual warfare and discernment. Eve reminds us the enemy is not the people around us, and Jael reminds us that being feminine is not the same as being passive when truth is under attack. Mary, the mother of Jesus, brings us to the clearest definition we can offer: a strong woman can say “Thy will be done,” and mean it. We also share a personal story from a painful financial season where surrender broke the weight of fear and restored peace. If you’ve been asking what biblical womanhood looks like in a confused culture, press play. Subscribe to More Than Medicine, share this with a friend who needs steady hope, and leave a review telling us: which of the seven women do you want to learn from most?

    DWDP - Gen 10:1-5 The Table of Nations

    Send us Fan Mail Genesis 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 called the Table of Nations unmatched in its kind.  We also explore why Shem would preserve such a careful genealogical record, tying it to Noah’s prophecy and the promise of the coming Seed. Then we sample Japheth’s line to show how names in Genesis connect to recognizable people-groups and regions known to antiquity, from the Black Sea area to Persia, and how “according to his language” points us straight toward the dispersion at Babel. If you’ve ever searched “Genesis 10 Table of Nations”, “Babel languages”, “biblical genealogy”, or “origin of nations in the Bible”, this conversation gives you a clear path through the text without turning it into a dry lecture.  Finally, we lift our eyes from ancient names to the present moment: God rules the kings of the earth, human pride still builds towers, and Psalm 2 speaks with unsettling clarity to the modern world.

    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 believe,” but the kind of surrender that actually changes who we obey, how we love, and what we call strength. From there we walk through the confusion around womanhood, the waves of feminism that shaped modern expectations, and why division between men and women doesn’t liberate anyone, it fractures the family and the church. Then we challenge the popular “strong woman” script: independence at all costs, self-first living, and leadership mocked as weakness. We share a different picture, strength that builds, covers, honors sacrifice, and makes a home a place of peace rather than competition. We also tease next week’s follow-up, where Carlotta plans to unpack women in Scripture and the traits that mark a truly strong woman.

    DWDP - Gen 9: 25-27 Noah's Prophecy

    Send us Fan Mail Genesis 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 keeps pointing to God’s blessing and His promise of ultimate salvation. From there we zoom out to God’s purpose for nations, using Acts 17:26–27 to show why people everywhere ache to seek Him, and Romans 10:14–15 to ask the hard question: how will they hear without a preacher, without someone sent with the gospel? Then we tackle a sensitive topic head-on: the so-called Hamitic curse. We explain why “servant of servants” cannot be used to defend slavery or modern racism, and we explore the idea of stewardship and service along with the historical contributions often attributed to Ham’s descendants. Finally, we return to Noah’s long life, the tragedy of the human heart from the flood to Babel, and the only hope that truly cleanses sin: the blood of Jesus.

    MTM - Interview with Dr.Brian Hooker

    Send us Fan Mail A child develops normally, then something changes fast and families are left asking the hardest question: what happened? 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 vulnerable, and the biological pathways he points to, including oxidative stress, immune dysregulation, neuroinflammation, aluminum adjuvants, and blood-brain barrier permeability. We also discuss why some children may be more susceptible, including the role of reduced glutathione pathways and the high rates of mitochondrial dysfunction reported in subsets of autistic children. I also share why COVID made me question “safe and effective” talking points from institutions like the CDC and FDA, and how that re-opened questions about pediatric vaccine safety studies more broadly. We get into the controversy around placebo-controlled trials, the lack of research on vaccines tested in combination as a schedule, and the real-world pressure doctors face when they speak outside the mainstream. We close with additional environmental factors raised in the conversation, including glyphosate exposure and infant acetaminophen (Tylenol), plus what twin studies may suggest about genetics versus triggers.

    DWDP- Gen 9: 22-24 What's in Your Heart?

    Send us Fan Mail A 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 entertainment.  We also push past surface behavior into the deeper issue Scripture keeps pressing: rebellion. Why does resentment toward parental authority so often mirror resentment toward God’s authority? We connect Genesis 9 with Proverbs and 1 Samuel 15, where God makes it plain that obedience from the heart matters more than outward religious performance, and that rebellion is not a small flaw but a spiritual rupture. If you’re thinking about Christian parenting, family discipleship, or how gossip spreads in churches and communities, this conversation puts a spotlight on motives, not just actions.  Finally, we land on hope, not despair. Jeremiah’s warning about the deceitful heart leads into the gospel promise of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. God can make dead things come alive, even a heart tangled up in sin, pride, and resistance.
