Episode 91: Jonathon Dunne - Freedom’s Disciple Podcast Host | Reclaiming America’s Narrative

Back on the show for a third time, Jonathon Dunne is America's favorite Irishman who is passionate about the ideals behind American exceptionalism, and has been blessed with opportunities to reach millions promoting the importance of limited government, individual freedoms, and free markets.

He is the host of the Freedom's Disciple podcast on the Blaze Radio Network, written for countless online websites and an inspirational keynote speaker devoted to America‘s founding principles.

He arrived stateside September 7th for his 5th American speaking tour. This trip takes him to 15 different states, speaking with over 65 groups in 85 days about “Reclaiming America's Narrative", and explaining exactly WHY America is an exceptional & Unique Nation.

If we are going to stop the continued erosion of our God-given rights and restore them, we must understand how America changed the world and helped us take a 5000-year leap forward.

It didn't happen by chance, it happened because the pilgrims risked everything to escape a tyrannical king. Then, 156 years later, the founders risked everything to declare America's independence from England and redefine man's relationship with man; and man’s relationship with government

Now, 240 years later, America and the world need to be reminded of those founding principles as the relationship between man and government has become extremely imbalanced.

I don’t know but today they are my experts so listen and do with it what you will. I'm going to listen with an open mind and heart. I have been on the fence about getting the vaccine and my purpose today was to see if they could talk me off.

Episode 84: Bryan and Kathy Woodcox | Our Covid miracle. The science said I should have been dead but God had other plans.

On May 20, 2021, Bryan Woodcox tested positive for Covid-19. His only symptoms were a fever and body aches. They did a chest X-ray, and it looked completely normal. On May 22, he was having trouble keeping his oxygen saturation levels up, so he went to the ER at 9:30pm. A new X-ray showed that his lungs were “much, much worse.” A Covid Room was found at a different hospital, so he was transported there and admitted at 2:30am. The disease progressed such that in only 24-hours Bryan was unable to breathe on his own. Covid had inflicted extensive damage to his lungs. The medical team told us he had to be intubated, or he would die within the hour. They gave us time to say good-bye, because they did not expect him to ever wake up. We were told he only had a 5% chance of surviving. Bryan said “That’s still a chance.” He told me he was not ready to die, that he was going to fight, and to tell everyone to pray for a miracle. On May 24, 2021, at 4:30am, Bryan was intubated and placed on life support, in a medically-induced coma. We were told if he did survive, he would be on a ventilator for at least a month. After being placed on life-support, Bryan was transferred to U of U Medical Center, so that he could receive more advanced treatments. Our family asked everyone we know to pray for a miracle. Miracles began happening almost immediately. Within 24-hours his lungs had improved so much that his chance of survival went from 5% to 35%. Covid patients typically have good days followed by bad days, but Bryan never had a single bad day. He progressed so quickly that he was off the ventilator after just 5 days, and 5 days after that he came home! Miraculously, he is expected to make a full recovery, and he is well on his way there. This experience has been life-changing, and we are not sure exactly what the future holds for us, but we are so grateful he is alive, and we are ready for whatever God has planned for us. #covid #uofumedicalcenter #jordanvalleymedicalcenter #rewhipped #bryanwoodcox #parrishthethought #parrishpodcast #faithintrial #VaccinesBringUsCloser #prayerworks #miracleshappen #miraclesdohappen #covidvaccine #antivaxx #novaccine #mybodymychoice #chip --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/parrishthethought/message
