This week, a court ruling overturned the 1954 Johnson Amendment which prohibited nonprofits from endorsing or opposing candidates if they want to remain tax-exempt. Dr. Jonny sees this as a major win for podcasts like Pushback, for free speech, and for the body of Christ in America! However, It is only a huge win if we utilize the pulpit, our influence, our love, our courage and the spiritual insight given to His ministers!

From Eden to Revelation, the Bible is one example to the next of heavenly encounters with earthly people. In fact, the separation of heaven and earth was created very thin, and we should expect to see and hear heavenly manifestations because we are spiritual beings.. Dr. Jonny encourages us to stop, look and listen so that we may become more spiritually aware and mature in order to battle the dark places!

The 4th of July is a great opportunity to celebrate the greatest and longest lasting democracy in history. It is a celebration of the freedom to celebrate, worship, disagree and protest. Our culture has become so angry with those that disagree with us, but, as Dr. Jonny explains, it is because we have lost perspective on who or what the real enemy is!

The murder of a Minnesota lawmaker this week was another example of political violence that has hit our culture. Dr. Jonny knows there are issues that anger us, but as Christians we are then to pivot toward the world with love and honor. Honoring rhetoric can persuade and influence, whereas careless rhetoric can inflame, anger, and even incite violence. While honor doesn’t mean agreement, it is the strategy that opens the door to real dialogue and real change.

Dr. Jonny lays out new and exciting changes coming to goFam Ministries and the Pushback podcast for this year and into 2026! The ministry is growing, expanding and providing increased resources for you and your family to change and impact the world!

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!
