MTM - Interview with Carlotta Jackson..What is a Strong Woman Part Two
5d ago00:24:13Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailThe 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.

Transcribe →DWDP - Gen 10:1-5 The Table of Nations
1w ago00:16:24Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailGenesis 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.

Transcribe →MTM - Interview with Carlotta Jackson..What is a Strong Woman Part One
2w ago00:24:42Tap to summarizeSend 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.Subscribe to More Than Medicine, share this with someone who needs a reset on the word “strong,” and leave a review so more families can find it.

Transcribe →DWDP - Gen 9: 25-27 Noah's Prophecy
2w ago00:30:21Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailGenesis 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.Subscribe for weekly Bible-centered devotions, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

Transcribe →MTM - Interview with Dr.Brian Hooker
3w ago00:31:21Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailA 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.If you want deeper, more transparent research and better questions asked on behalf of kids and parents, listen now, then subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the conversation.https://www.amazon.com/Vax-Unvax-Childrens-Health-Defense-Kennedy/dp/1510766960Support the showhttps://www.jacksonfamilyministry.comhttps://bobslone.com/home/podcast-production/
Transcribe →DWDP- Gen 9: 22-24 What's in Your Heart?
3w ago00:14:43Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailA 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.

Transcribe →MTM - Interview with Scott Schara..Is the Government Legally Killing Us? Part Two
4w ago00:26:07Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailIf the words “standard of care” sound like safety, this conversation asks you to listen closer to what those standards can demand and what they can quietly forbid. We sit down with Scott Shara to continue a frank, faith-forward talk about his book Is The Government Legally Killing Us, and why he believes the modern medical system can operate like a machine that rewards compliance more than healing. Along the way, we confront a question that hits every family sooner or later: who holds the real power in healthcare, the patient, the doctor, or the policies behind the curtain?We trace the ideas Schara connects to a broader culture shift: collectivism, medical education pipelines, and a country dependent on pharmaceuticals. Then we move into the legal and financial structures he says shape outcomes, including the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, Medicare and Medicaid incentives, and his reading of Obamacare Section 1553. We also slow down on “informed consent” and the AMA Code of Medical Ethics, especially how phrases like “recommended treatments” and “medically appropriate options” can limit what patients ever hear, even when the language sounds ethical and compassionate.Finally, we talk solutions in plain terms, not silver bullets: fear, courage, and responsibility. Shara frames Revelation 13 as a way to understand both the physical pressure to comply and the spiritual call to repent of turning our birthright over to the state. If you care about medical freedom, patient rights, Christian ethics in medicine, and how incentives can distort healthcare, this one will challenge you.

Transcribe →DWDP - Gen. 9:19-21 Noah's Sin
4w ago00:13:42Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailWe live in a world of thousands of languages and countless cultural differences, but Genesis makes a bold claim that cuts through the noise: every nation traces back to one family after the flood. That single idea can change how we talk about race, identity, and our neighbors, and it is where our devotional starts as we read Genesis 9:18-26 together.We walk through the sons of Noah and ask why the text highlights Ham as “the father of Canaan.” I share why that detail matters historically and spiritually, especially when you remember Moses is writing for Israel on the way to the Promised Land where the Canaanites live. Along the way, we connect the Bible’s storyline with clear, simple thinking about how human diversity spreads over time, without losing the central point that Scripture is making about our shared origin and shared accountability before God.Then the tone shifts to a warning that feels painfully modern: Noah plants a vineyard, drinks, gets drunk, and exposes himself. The Bible’s honesty about its heroes is part of its power, and Noah’s failure becomes a sober reminder that spiritual victories do not cancel future temptations. We lean on 1 Peter 5:8, talk candidly about alcohol’s real-world damage from a physician’s perspective, and preview the generational consequences that follow Noah’s sin.If this devotional helps you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find More Than Medicine.Support the showhttps://www.jacksonfamilyministry.comhttps://bobslone.com/home/podcast-production/
Transcribe →MTM - Interview with Scott Schara..Is the Government Legally Killing Us? Part One
Apr 1800:24:12Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailA discounted heart scan for $80 turns into a moment of clarity: medicine isn’t only shaped by what’s true, but also by what gets rewarded. We sit down with Scott Schara, returning guest and father of Grace, to talk about his book “Is the Government Legally Killing Us?” and the case he makes that modern healthcare incentives can be engineered through law, regulation, and reimbursement so thoroughly that accountability disappears when patients are harmed.We walk through the story behind the book, including why Scott frames the title as a question, what he says he found across 4,000 hours of research, and why Grace’s death in the ICU during COVID became both a personal breaking point and a public mission. Along the way, we talk candidly about “programming” in medical training, the fear-driven narratives many of us lived through, and why so many good people stayed quiet even when something felt off. Scott also explains why he added chapters about Grace after the manuscript was “done,” and how emotion and evidence belong together if you want to reach family and friends who are not awake yet.We also dig into the deeper structure: Jacobson v Massachusetts, the Flexner Report, the rise of the medical-industrial complex, and the claim that CMS reimbursement policies and healthcare metrics quietly set the real standard of care. If you care about medical freedom, informed consent, patient autonomy, or how hospital payment systems influence clinical decisions, you’ll find plenty here to wrestle with.

Transcribe →DWDP - Gen 9: 8-17 God's Covenant in the Rainbow
Apr 1500:20:04Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailA rainbow can feel like a quick, pretty moment after a storm. We take it seriously as Scripture does: a visible sign of an unbreakable promise. From Genesis 9:8–17, we walk through God’s covenant with Noah and his descendants and even with the animals, and we ask what it means that God binds himself unilaterally and unconditionally to never again destroy all flesh with a worldwide flood. That single promise turns the sky into a reminder that God is faithful even when we are not. We also tackle a thoughtful Bible question: how could Moses write with such detail about events far outside his lifetime, even recording conversations between God and Noah? We point to the doctrine of divine revelation and the Holy Spirit’s role in Scripture, grounding our confidence that Genesis is not speculation but God’s message to his people. Along the way, we contrast conditional covenants with Israel and the cost of disobedience, so the bigger biblical storyline comes into focus. Then we bring it home with providence and evangelism. God’s covenant includes living creatures, and we share a striking mission-trip story from the Yucatán that raises the question of how animals sense danger ahead of time. Finally, we connect the rainbow to Revelation 10, where a rainbow appears again, pointing us to Jesus, his first coming in humility, and his return in glory and judgment. If you want clear Bible teaching on the meaning of the rainbow, Noah’s covenant, and how to share the gospel with your kids and friends, this devotional is for you.
