Dr. Jonny shares his trials he faced this week, and compels us to embrace patience and even waiting. As Pentecost Sunday approaches, we remember that the key that unlocked the Promise was to wait. Waiting isn’t passive, but rather positional! We are to position ourselves with expectancy for the next and the greater assignment for His kingdom!

We live in an instantaneous society; we don’t like waiting and patience has become counter-cultural. Dr. Jonny explains that patience is not an inactive word, but actually unlocks our inheritance and aligns ourselves to the working of the Spirit. Patience is a surrendering of our own way and a connecting to His ways and to His cadence.

Dr. Jonny reviews a scene from The Chosen, where the writers and producers decided to have Jesus give an explanation as to why some do not get healed. This extra-biblical explanation did not line up with the nature and will of God and did not accurately depict the ministry of Jesus, which was…He healed them all! He is not defined by our disappointments, we are defined by HIs goodness!

PARENTAL DISCRETION ADVISED. As parents, we have the God-given dominion to influence and steer our children’s culture. Dr. Jonny gives many examples just over the past week where the world’s culture has exposed our children to vile and damaging propaganda. It is time for parents to rise up and become what they were created to be and prejudiciously defend their children and moral truth.

Antisemitism isn’t just an atrocity of the past, but is alive and well today. Dr. Jonny explores our prejudices and our position as Christians toward the Jewish faith and the nation of Israel.. It wasn’t the Jews that crucified Christ, it was our sin. But, He didn’t stay in the grave, He rose again for the salvation of all! This Easter, let’s continue to pray for the salvation and protection of Israel!

The is only One mediator between God and mankind and that is the Man Christ Jesus. Yet, if we are not careful we can exalt the things or people created by God above God himself. He has never asked for religion, rituals, trinkets, superstitions, other humans or any other image to be needed to appease Him or to find Him. We are His offspring and He is all we need!

Dr. Jonny shares his experience traveling the Aegean Sea and following in the Apostles Paul’s footsteps. Paul had an encounter with the Living God that propelled him with such courage even to hostile regions. This dedication started a movement of the kingdom and established the church. In so many ways, though, Paul was just like us, just a regular dude with a choice to make…his choice change world history, and so can we!

Dr. Jonny and his family attended a rally at the Minnesota State Capital on Monday to support a bill banning biological males from competing in women’s and girls sports. The magical and delusional arguments against this bill left a feeling of being trans-ported to an alternate reality. However, this is where the battle (and many others like it) is taking place. Our battle is not against flesh and blood, but principalities and powers, and we need to pray and be activists for the politics of earth AND of heaven!
