Historians contend that Custer’s Last Stand happened because General Custer underestimated his enemy, he waited too long to call for help and he was arrogant. Dr. Jonny hopes history does not repeat itself as he lays out our current battlefield. We are in a culture war with our children as unnecessary casualties. Family is culture’s last stand against an unholy alliance that seeks to sacrifice our children on the altar of selfish pleasure and control.

If parents are to be intentional and proactive, and family is the backbone of culture, then we need to get our house in order. Fatherlessness is the greatest hinderance to a healthy culture and the main reason family is being steamrolled. Dr. Jonny lays down the truth of our current family culture, and the sobering statistics about fatherlessness tells the story. However, we live in the time when “He will turn the hearts of the Father’s to their children…” and this will be the one of the greatest sources of healing for our culture.

Our children’s pre-frontal cortex, which is the part of the brain that controls planning, attention, judgement and decision making, does not become fully developed until age 25. When our children are exposed to inappropriate content in relationships, at home, or on social media, their brains cannot process it, leading to confusion, anxiety, depression, guilt and even suicidal thoughts. Dr. Jonny calls for parents to be the first line of protection from those that are targeting our children!

The “World Happiness Report” was released this week, and the United States ranked at a record low. Predictably, this was the result of a dismally low score among the young people in the U.S. because our culture is in a crisis. Those that have created the crisis try to propose “fixes” for the crisis…only to further propagate the crisis! Dr. Jonny explains that we as parents can help our children navigate their emotions, which results in perseverance, character and hope!

In a continued attempt to redefine and dilute family, recent headlines show that even the word mother is under attack. Family is the backbone and platform the Father used to establish and reproduce His culture on the earth. Dr. Jonny continues his crusade to save our children by explaining that any attempt to redefine gender, parenting and family is selfish, an assault on healthy culture and a break from reality.

Alcohol, drugs and more specifically, Fentanyl usage have risen to epidemic proportions and are literally killing our kids. Dr. Jonny shares his parental, ministerial and medical knowledge to inform parents of this immediate and absolute threat. He shares how the abuse of these drugs are not the disease, but rather they create an altered state that temporarily allows them to escape the real disease.

With obesity statistics rising at alarming rate, Dr. Jonny continues his series on Killing our Kids by examining childhood obesity. With our children rarely meeting the daily recommended physical activity, the large consumption of junk food and empty calories and kids spending an average of 7 1/2 hours a day using entertainment media, obesity has become a health emergency. While avoiding shame, we as parents need to not normalize unhealthy choices, become proactive and pushback to save our children’s lives!

Studies have proven that cell phone usage by teens is harmful, destructive and increases mental illness, yet 95% of teens have access to smart phones…most unfettered. Dr. Jonny continues his “killing our kids” series by exposing the absolute danger of cell phone usage and call parents to be courageous, powerful and counter-cultural by implementing tight boundaries on usage or hanging it up completely!
