Dr. Jonny puts on his medical hat and discusses the dangers of the upcoming summer season and the simple precautionary measures we can implement to avoid too much sun exposure. Especially in northern climates, the long anticipated warm weather results in too many jumping recklessly into the long awaited sun-filled days. This risky behavior is actually increasing in our culture and greater awareness is needed.

Parental discretion advised. Dr. Jonny describes the medical miracle that took place this week when doctors performed groundbreaking surgery on a baby still the womb. The only difference between a miracle and murder is whether or not the baby was wanted. In this country we allow a child to be destroyed solely by the selfish determination of a mother that the child is unwanted. History has proven that if enough people in power determine that another group of people are unwanted, then anything is justified.

While the culture wars rage on, and we experience some defeats, we cannot lose hope or morale and stay focused on what we are fighting for. Winning a culture war requires an awakening. It can be instant by the Light of Christ with a Spiritual awakening, by strengthening our families for a cultural awakening or a national/political awakening by being the loudest voice heard.

As Minnesota continues to position itself as a sanctuary for abortion and gender-affirming care, there is something more sinister at play. The progressive left sees this as an opportunity to erode away parental rights and advocacy for their own children. Dr. Jonny explains the obvious danger of this recent legislation but also the danger of government control and the inaccurate representation of the people.

When you are on the right side of a moral issue, it is difficult to compromise. Truth in the heavenly realm should not be compromised because we answer to only One. However, sometimes in the political realm compromise is necessary to move the needle in the direction of truth even if full truth is not achieved yet. Dr. Jonny describes the difficult discussion of abortion in politics and how we need to engage and celebrate incremental victories.

Federal Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk’s decision this week to freeze the FDA’s approval of the abortion-pill combination was a significant victory not only for the pro-life cause but also for the entire narrative surrounding the life of the “unborn humans.” His 67 page decision was scientific, accurate, respectful, and used language that helped frame the pro-life position and exposed the danger and suspect motive of the anti-life position. Dr. Jonny stresses the importance of an informed citizenry and encourages the unrelenting fight for life.

The indictment of former president Donald Trump this week signals a new low in the political realm as the claim “no one is above the law” battles the claim “weaponization of the law.” Many see this new attack as the start of a Banana Republic, where one seeks to imprison their political foes. However, Dr.Jonny explains there is a greater concern at the core of this controversy. We have lost our ability to honorably disagree. Disagreement has equalled hate, and if we hate each other, then we can justify slander, lying and even imprisonment, because our enemy is just getting what they deserve.

Consumerism is about giving the customer what they want. Compassionism is about giving someone what is best. When consumerism moves into realms such as medicine, schools or even the church, we become more focused on avoiding offense, favorable surveys, and especially money! Dr. Jonny explains that Jesus was “moved by compassion.” He was internally and spiritually motivated to serve others and transform them into their best and healthiest lives.
