Can a poison ever be made “safe” through testing alone? That unsettling question drives a candid conversation about vaccine safety, mandates, and the ethics of informed consent. We start with the everyday reality of lead testing in children, recall the historical use of mercury and arsenic as medicine, and ask whether modern labels can override inherent toxicity. From there, we examine how trust, data transparency, and institutional incentives shape what parents are told—and what too often gets left unsaid.

We walk through the push to retest vaccines for safety and efficacy and the counterpoint that testing alone can’t transform a harmful substance. Along the way, we discuss trial design, the presence of heavy metals like aluminum and mercury, and the cumulative burden of today’s expanded pediatric schedule. We connect rising autism rates with the growth in jabs, highlight claimed differences in chronic outcomes between vaccinated and unvaccinated children, and revisit the historical decline of childhood diseases to reframe how risk and benefit are calculated in a modern context. We also talk frankly about timing correlations with SIDS reports and the financial incentives tied to vaccination rates that most families never see.

Our goal isn’t fear—it’s agency. We advocate for informed consent and parental choice over blanket mandates, and we point you to practical resources, including the Silver Book from Physicians for Informed Consent, so you can walk into appointments with clear questions and a stronger voice. If you value transparent data, ethical consent, and the right to make careful choices for your family, this conversation gives you a roadmap.

What does it truly mean to walk with God? In this thought-provoking episode of Devotions with Dr. Papa, we uncover the profound spiritual legacy of ancient patriarchs like Methuselah and Noah, who stood apart as preachers of righteousness in a corrupt world.

Dr. Robert Jackson takes us on a fascinating journey through Genesis 5, revealing how Methuselah—whose very name meant "judgment coming"—carried a prophetic message throughout his extraordinary 969-year life. Imagine bearing a name that constantly reminded people of impending divine judgment! For nearly a century, both Methuselah and his grandson Noah warned of catastrophe while facing ridicule from a world that had never even seen rain.

But what truly set these patriarchs apart from their numerous siblings? The answer lies in a simple yet profound choice they made—they "set their hearts" to walk with God. Drawing powerful parallels with Ezra, who purposefully decided to study, practice, and teach God's law even while in exile, Dr. Jackson illuminates how spiritual impact flows from deliberate decisions rather than special talents or circumstances.

This message strikes at the heart of authentic discipleship. Each of us faces the same choice that confronted the ancient patriarchs—will we decide to walk closely with God, study His Word, and share His truth with our circle of influence? As Dr. Jackson powerfully reminds us: "Any one of us can become a seed planter, a soul winner, an evangelist... Any one of us can be known as that person who walks with God and consistently speaks the truth in love."

Join us for this transformative exploration of purpose, decision, and spiritual legacy. Your doctor loves you—and challenges you with the question that echoes through the centuries: "Will you decide?"

When tragedy strikes the Christian community, how should believers respond? Dr. Robert Jackson tackles this profound question through the lens of martyrdom, drawing powerful parallels between Stephen—the first Christian martyr—and Charlie Kirk, whose life was recently cut short.

Drawing from Acts chapters 6-7, Dr. Jackson unpacks the striking similarities between these two men of faith separated by millennia. Both were filled with grace and spiritual power. Both faced fierce opposition with unflappable composure. Both spoke truth fearlessly, even when it cost them everything. Where Stephen's face shone "like an angel" before the Sanhedrin, Charlie maintained his characteristic smile even when surrounded by hostile crowds. This Spirit-filled demeanor, Dr. Jackson observes, enraged their opponents more than anything else.

The martyrdom of Stephen catalyzed the spread of the early church and led to Saul's transformation into Paul, who would write much of the New Testament. Similarly, Charlie Kirk's death presents a pivotal moment for believers today. Will this tragedy drive us deeper in our faith or merely provoke angry responses? Dr. Jackson offers practical guidance: examine your faith's authenticity, deepen your walk with God, and recognize the spiritual nature of our battles. Most crucially, he reminds us that revival happens one heart at a time, as believers share their testimonies and the gospel with those in their circles of influence. "Our only strategy is evangelism," he emphasizes, "and our only weapon is the truth of the gospel."

Ready to move from spectator to participant in what God might do through this tragedy? This episode challenges you to be a light in your community, workplace, and family—giving people Jesus rather than merely lamenting cultural darkness. The transformation of hearts, after all, has always been God's method of changing the world.

What does it truly mean to "walk with God" as Enoch did? Dr. Papa invites us into a profound exploration of one of Scripture's most mysterious figures – a man who lived 365 years and then simply vanished because "God took him."

Through careful examination of Genesis 5:22-24, we discover that Enoch stands apart from all other patriarchs. While their stories end with "and he died," Enoch's culminates in divine translation – taken directly to heaven without experiencing death. But what set him apart? What earned him this extraordinary privilege?

Far from being a withdrawn pietist hiding from worldly corruption, Jude's epistle reveals Enoch as a bold prophet who fearlessly proclaimed God's coming judgment on an ungodly generation. Like John the Baptist centuries later, he spoke truth to power without compromise. Dr. Papa challenges today's believers to follow this example, lamenting that many modern pulpits have grown timid while our world careens toward judgment just as swiftly as Enoch's pre-flood generation.

The devotion culminates with practical spiritual disciplines that characterized Enoch's walk with God and can transform our own: abiding in Scripture, consistent prayer, faithful obedience, and submission to the Holy Spirit. As Dr. Papa beautifully puts it, "We can walk with God as Enoch did. The only difference is that we have the written word to read and study and the living word living inside us to fellowship with us and guide us." Ready to begin your own extraordinary walk with God? This episode shows you how.

The recent passing of James Dobson sparked a broader conversation about fallen Christian leaders and how believers should respond when those we've trusted are revealed to have feet of clay. Dr. Robert Jackson and his daughter Hannah Miller tackle this sensitive topic with wisdom, vulnerability, and biblical insight.

At the heart of their discussion lies a profound reminder: we all share in humanity's fallen nature. While some leaders' sins become public spectacles—typically involving sexual impropriety or financial misdeeds—every believer struggles with sinful tendencies that cause friction in their relationships. This reality should foster humility rather than harsh judgment when we learn of others' moral failures.

The conversation explores the critical distinction between repentant and unrepentant leaders. Through a powerful personal story, Dr. Jackson illustrates the beautiful possibility of restoration when a fallen leader genuinely repents, submits to accountability, and undergoes a healing process. This stands in stark contrast to unrepentant leaders whose pride prevents true reconciliation and who continue to wound the church.

Perhaps most thought-provoking is their discussion about whether a leader's moral failure invalidates their previous teaching. "Truth is truth, brilliance is brilliance," Dr. Jackson observes, suggesting that while some may find it emotionally impossible to benefit from a fallen leader's work, others can separate the truth from the messenger with proper discernment.

The father-daughter duo concludes with practical wisdom for protecting ourselves from similar fates: daily self-examination before God and authentic accountability relationships. "Accountability is you and me helping each other to keep our promises to God, to our family, and to ourselves," Dr. Jackson explains, offering a safeguard against the moral ditches that threaten us all.

Join this important conversation that balances grace with truth, organizational responsibility with individual response, and righteous judgment with humble self-awareness. Your approach to fallen leaders reveals more about your heart than theirs—what will your response be?

Have you ever skimmed past Genesis 5, seeing it as nothing more than a tedious list of ancient names and numbers? What if those seemingly dry verses contain profound wisdom for your family's spiritual journey?

Dr. Robert Jackson ("Dr. Papa") uncovers the hidden treasures within this genealogy, revealing how the ten patriarchs from Adam to Noah lived extraordinarily long lives—averaging 912 years—and served as "preachers of righteousness" to preserve God's truth across generations. The fascinating connections he draws illuminate why Adam lived until Noah's father was 56 years old, creating an unbroken chain of firsthand spiritual testimony spanning nearly 1,700 years before the flood.

Beyond historical curiosity, this episode challenges parents and grandparents to recognize their sacred responsibility as spiritual teachers. "You're not responsible for the entire world," Dr. Jackson reminds us, "but you are responsible for your little lambs, your circle of influence." Drawing from Psalm 71:17-18, he shares his personal prayer that God would sustain him to declare divine truth to his descendants—not merely to witness their growth, but to impart eternal wisdom that shapes their souls.

Whether you're raising young children, mentoring grandchildren, or simply wondering about your spiritual legacy, this episode will transform how you view your role in God's multi-generational plan. Subscribe to hear more from "Devotions with Dr. Papa," and discover why passing faith to the next generation might be the most important work you'll ever do.

The medical industrial complex doesn't value all lives equally—and Scott Schara learned this in the most devastating way possible. When his 19-year-old daughter Grace, who had Down syndrome, entered the hospital with mild COVID symptoms, Scott never imagined she would never come home. Seven days later, Grace was dead—not from COVID complications, but from what Scott discovered was deliberate medical mismanagement, including an illegal DNR order placed without family consent.

What followed was an extraordinary journey that transformed this grieving father into a medical freedom advocate and researcher. Scott shares the shocking moment when, after requesting Grace's medical records, he realized her death wasn't simply a tragic accident but part of a systematic devaluation of certain lives. Recent research confirms his suspicions—patients with Down syndrome were 630% more likely to receive DNR orders during the COVID era, revealing an institutionalized bias against those deemed "non-contributing members of society."

Scott's investigation led him deep into troubling territory, uncovering what he describes as the "Hegelian dialectic" operating in healthcare—a problem-reaction-solution model where manufactured crises drive people toward pre-designed "solutions." He explains how standard of care protocols, insurance requirements, and government reimbursement systems have effectively turned our medical institutions into "state actors" that prioritize collectivist principles over individual rights and genuine healing.

The conversation moves beyond merely exposing corruption to addressing the spiritual dimensions of our current medical crisis. Scott articulates how Americans have "sold their birthright to the state," placing faith in human systems rather than divine providence. He offers a powerful message about the opportunity this moment presents for sharing the gospel and reclaiming true health sovereignty through spiritual awakening.

Whether you're concerned about medical freedom, caring for vulnerable loved ones, or simply trying to navigate an increasingly complex healthcare landscape, Scott's insights will change how you view the entire system. His message is ultimately one of hope—that by acknowledging our misplaced trust, repenting, and returning to reliance on God rather than human authorities, we can protect ourselves and those we love.

What would you risk to protect your loved ones? Scott Schara's story challenges us to consider this question before it's too late.

Have you ever wondered if your religious routine is just that—a routine? Dr. Robert Jackson opens his heart in this powerful episode, revealing his own journey from perfect church attendance to perfect stranger with God.

Drawing from Genesis 4:23-26, Dr. Papa contrasts two spiritual paths: "the way of Cain" marked by pride, self-justification, and moral decline, and the lineage of Seth who "began to call upon the name of the Lord." With scholarly insight, he examines Lamech's boastful ballad—the first recorded song in history—which exemplifies the increasing wickedness that eventually led to the flood.

The most compelling moment comes when Dr. Jackson vulnerably shares his spiritual awakening at age 19. Despite years of religious activities, his first attempt at personal devotion lasted only seven minutes, revealing an uncomfortable truth: "I didn't even know how to talk to God." This confession speaks to anyone who's felt the hollow echo of religious motions without relationship. His persistence transformed a seven-minute awkward encounter into what has now become 45 years of rich communion with God.

Dr. Jackson draws a striking parallel between ancient moral decline and our current cultural climate: "A virtuous people need very little government; an immoral people need lots of laws." Rather than increased external controls, he suggests America needs spiritual revival—internal transformation that produces external change.

Are you giving lip service to faith or genuinely calling on the Lord? Join us for this transformative episode that might just be the seven-minute wake-up call your spiritual life needs.
