What if homemaking were about more than maintaining a beautiful home? What if it were also a sacred opportunity to glorify God, disciple your family, and welcome others with the love of Christ?
In this episode of the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, T.S. Wright welcomes Gina Romero, author of Welcome Home: A Guide to Homemaking from the Heart. Gina shares her powerful testimony of walking away from her faith, suffering a debilitating spinal injury, and ultimately returning to God as a modern-day prodigal.
Gina also recounts the difficult pregnancy and premature birth of her daughter, Estella, who arrived three months early and weighed only one pound. Through this season of trauma, prayer, and dependence upon God, Gina began to recognize His greater purpose for her life.
Years later, God called her to write a book about homemaking. Gina responded in obedience, completing the manuscript in six weeks. Welcome Home became a number-one Amazon new release and launched a growing ministry dedicated to helping women approach their homes, families, and responsibilities from a biblical perspective.
In this conversation, Gina and T.S. discuss:
- Returning to God after a prodigal season
- Trusting God through pain, trauma, and uncertainty
- Recognizing and obeying God’s calling
- Homemaking as a ministry rather than a pursuit of perfection
- Biblical hospitality and welcoming others as Jesus did
- Stewarding the home, finances, possessions, and family memories
- Creating practical household and organizational systems
- Using family meals to disciple children
- Learning from the Proverbs 31 and Titus 2 women
- Understanding the complementary roles of men and women
- Following God’s calling at home, in ministry, and in the marketplace
- Allowing ministry and responsible income-producing work to coexist
Gina reminds us that Christian homemaking is not defined by the labels “traditional” or “progressive.” It begins with seeking the Lord, listening to His voice, and faithfully following the unique assignment He has prepared for each person.
As Gina explains, others may teach us how to create beautiful things in our homes, but only God can teach us who we should become while doing them.
Your story is for God’s glory. Whether your calling leads you into the home, the boardroom, the ministry, or the marketplace, the central question remains: Are you seeking God, listening to His direction, and following where He leads?

Is evangelism an obligation—or the natural overflow of a life filled with Jesus?
Andrew Steier, founder of Always Going and author of Always Going, joins TS Wright for a practical conversation about developing an everyday faith that extends beyond the walls of the church.
Andrew shares how growing up in a pastor’s home led to a performative faith—and how encountering the emptiness of life without Christ eventually transformed his relationship with God. That experience became the foundation for helping Christians confidently live and share their faith.
Andrew and TS discuss why evangelism and discipleship must work together. Before believers can effectively fulfill the Great Commission, they must first be formed through an intimate, continuing relationship with Jesus and empowered by the Holy Spirit.
In this episode:
- Moving from performative Christianity to an authentic relationship with Jesus
- Why evangelism and discipleship are two sides of the same coin
- Understanding “overflow evangelism”
- Becoming an ambassador and reconciler for Christ
- How spiritual formation prepares believers to share the gospel
- Replacing fear and obligation with invitation and joy
- Communicating the gospel without confusing Christian terminology
- Using your personal testimony to glorify God and reach others
- Measuring spiritual growth through the fruit of the Spirit
- Eight heart-check questions for everyday evangelism
Andrew reminds us that evangelism is not merely a job, expectation, or obligation. It is an invitation to join God’s mission—and an overflow of knowing and loving Jesus.

How can believers recognize the voice of the Holy Spirit and respond faithfully to God’s direction?
In this episode of Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, T.S. Wright welcomes Prophet Afolabi Aduroja, co-author of 30 Days of Renewed Fatherhood. Prophet Afolabi shares how visions during his childhood, a life-changing experience of divine healing and a determined search for God helped awaken him to his prophetic calling.
Together, T.S. and Prophet Afolabi discuss the ministry of the Holy Spirit, the importance of obedience and the need for humility when exercising spiritual gifts.

Prophet Afolabi offers practical biblical counsel for those seeking to discern whether a vision, message or spiritual impression is from God.

What does faithful leadership look like in the church, the workplace, and seasons of personal transition?
In this episode of Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, T.S. Wright welcomes Reverend Kevin T. Taylor—affectionately known as “RevKev”—for a conversation about calling, leadership, change, and spiritual reinvention.
Rev. Taylor shares how God shaped his journey from growing up in the church and accepting the call to preach at seventeen to serving as both a pastor and a corporate executive. These two worlds became the foundation for his book, A Charge to Keep: Immutable Leadership Lessons from the C-Suite to the Pulpit.
Drawing from lived experience, Rev. Taylor explains why reaching a position of leadership can be easier than remaining faithful and effective once you are there. He also discusses the loneliness leaders experience, the importance of documenting decisions, and the wisdom of casting vision generously while budgeting conservatively.
The conversation explores how leaders can guide people through change without becoming discouraged by resistance. Rev. Taylor explains that opposition does not necessarily mean the vision is wrong—people may simply be grieving what was as they prepare to embrace what will be.
You’ll also hear an encouraging message about wilderness seasons, the cost of the anointing, lifelong learning, and the necessity of reinventing ourselves without compromising our God-given calling.
In This Episode* How Rev. Kevin Taylor recognized and responded to God’s call * Lessons learned from nearly 30 years in ministry * How corporate leadership strengthened his pastoral ministry * Why leadership can feel lonely * How to lead people through organizational and ministry change * Why resistance may be evidence that meaningful change is occurring * The importance of allowing people time to grieve the past * How wilderness seasons prepare us for greater responsibility * Why effective leaders must remain lifelong learners * Reinventing yourself while remaining faithful to your calling * A preview of Rev. Taylor’s forthcoming books and leadership resources

Does the Old Testament foreshadow the coming of Jesus Christ?
In this episode of Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, T.S. Wright welcomes author and Bible teacher Mark Stouffer for a thoughtful examination of the Tanakh, Messianic prophecy, and God’s unfolding plan to rescue humanity.
Mark begins by sharing his personal testimony. While studying engineering at Ohio State, he repeatedly felt God drawing him—but believed he was too busy to respond. After graduation left him without a job and with plenty of time, God met him in a powerful and unmistakable way. That encounter led Mark to the Bible, faith in Jesus Christ, and more than four decades of biblical study and teaching.
Mark also introduces his four-volume series, The Loving-kindness of G-d, written for Jewish readers seeking the truth about Jesus and Christians wanting a deeper understanding of the Hebrew Scriptures.
TS and Mark discuss:
• How the Hebrew word hesed reveals God’s unfailing love, kindness, and grace
• The Day of Atonement and the meaning of sacrificial blood
• How the Torah’s sacrificial system may foreshadow Christ’s death on the cross
• The holiness of God and the seriousness of humanity’s sin
• Why spiritual rebirth is necessary
• God’s rescue plan from Genesis through the return of Christ
• The promise that Eve’s descendant would crush the serpent
• Israel’s calling to reveal the one true God to the nations
• Jonah, Nineveh, and God’s love for the Gentiles
• Messianic prophecy and whether Jesus fulfills the Tanakh’s description of the Messiah
• Lessons from Jewish history and nearly two thousand years of Church history
Mark’s books include:
• Hesed: Does the Tanakh Foreshadow Jesus?
• The Mashiah: A Study of the Messianic Prophecies
• The Esa: G-d’s Rescue Plan for Humanity
• The Tanakh: Its Unusual Ending

Waiting is rarely comfortable—but it is often where God accomplishes His deepest work within us.
Joshua Spatha returns to Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast for a timely conversation with host T.S. Wright about navigating seasons of transition, uncertainty, and spiritual preparation. Using the disciples’ journey between Christ’s resurrection and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, they explore what God may be doing when His promises seem delayed.
The disciples moved from questions and doubt to proclaiming Christ with extraordinary power and conviction. What happened during the time between those two spiritual milestones? They waited, prayed, obeyed Christ’s instructions, and allowed God to prepare them for what was coming.
Joshua and T.S. explain why waiting seasons are not wasted seasons. God uses them to deepen our roots, mature our faith, test our motives, and develop the character required to sustain the calling He has placed upon our lives.
In this episode, you will discover:
- Why God frequently prepares His people through seasons of waiting
- How the disciples moved from uncertainty to Pentecostal power
- Why immediate gratification works against patience and spiritual maturity
- How comparison, pride, and selfish ambition create discontentment
- The difference between doing something “for God” and walking obediently with God
- Why believers must surrender their plans, timing, and personal agendas
- How to remain faithful when God appears silent
- Why every breakthrough may lead to another season of preparation
The Christian life is not about forcing doors open and then asking God to bless our decisions. It is about daily surrender—trusting God’s goodness, obeying His direction, and allowing Him to receive all the glory.
Scriptures and biblical themes discussed include Matthew 28, Acts 1–2, Philippians 2, perseverance, contentment, dying to self, the Great Commission, and the Day of Pentecost.

What happens when God calls you to leave a successful 25-year career and enter an entirely new field of ministry?
In this episode of Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, T. S. Wright welcomes Bill Nienhuis, CEO of Childcare Worldwide. Bill recounts his journey from a Christian childhood and a career in radio to more than two decades helping build the extensive digital library of Logos Bible Software.
Then, in 2018, God opened an unexpected door. Bill transitioned from the software industry into international child evangelism—a calling that revealed a passion God had been preparing within him for years.
Bill explains how Childcare Worldwide’s Life Centers partner with local churches in Peru, India, Kenya, and Uganda. Every Saturday, children gather in a safe and joyful environment for recreation, worship, biblical teaching, discipleship, and a nutritious meal.
You will also hear a powerful account of one quiet child whose transformation eventually touched her entire family. Her story demonstrates how attentive teachers, faithful churches, and the work of the Holy Spirit can bring hope into even the most difficult circumstances.
Bill and T. S. also discuss the meaning of being born again, the transforming work of the Holy Spirit, and why every Christian has a place on “Team Great Commission.” Some believers serve on the front lines, while others pray, give, teach, encourage, or provide vital resources. Every role matters in the mission of making disciples.
In this episode:
- How God used Bill’s early Christian formation to prepare him for ministry
- Lessons from his 25-year career with Logos Bible Software
- Recognizing God’s direction during a major career transition
- How Childcare Worldwide’s Life Centers serve vulnerable children
- Why evangelism must be followed by sustained discipleship
- Looking for spiritual fruit rather than simply counting decisions
- How the transformation of one child can influence an entire family
- The role of the Holy Spirit in salvation and spiritual growth
- Finding your place on “Team Great Commission”

What changes when you stop defining yourself by your failures and begin seeing yourself as God sees you?
On this episode of Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, T.S. Wright welcomes Tom Anderson, author of From Sinnership to Sonship: The Story of Becoming. Tom shares how God transformed his marriage, deepened his faith, and led him from feelings of inadequacy into the security of biblical sonship.
Drawing from the lives of Adam, Abraham, and Peter, Tom explains why spiritual transformation is a journey. Abraham began as a man who believed in God but struggled to believe what God said about him. Through waiting, testing, surrender, and “hoping against hope,” Abraham grew into his God-given identity.
You will discover:
- What Tom means by the “I am not” mentality of sinnership
- How sonship provides worth, significance, and spiritual security
- Why God often sends a word before meeting a need
- How God used Isaiah 43:18–19 to bring restoration to Tom’s marriage
- What Adam’s garden teaches us about purpose, service, and stewardship
- Why your marriage, family, workplace, and relationships are gardens entrusted to your care
- How Abraham’s journey illustrates believing, hoping, surrendering, and becoming
- Why trials may be part of God’s process of teaching you to trust Him
- How knowing you are loved by the Father changes the way you live and serve
Your identity is not based upon your achievements, possessions, position, or past failures. In Christ, you are called, loved, and kept. God is inviting you to move beyond striving and rest securely in your identity as His beloved son or daughter.
Scriptures DiscussedIsaiah 43:18–19; Genesis 1–2; Genesis 15; Genesis 22; Psalm 139; Romans 4; 2 Corinthians 5:20; Jude 1

In this episode of Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, TS Wright welcomes Tarsha Campbell back for a deeper conversation on the subject of vision. Building on her previous appearance, Tarsha explains why vision is central to life, purpose, faith, relationships, ministry, business, and personal growth.
Tarsha describes vision as a God-given principle of creation, rooted in the fact that mankind was created in the image and likeness of God. She explains that while vision can operate universally, believers must begin with prayer, devotion, the Word of God, and quiet time with the Lord in order to discern the vision God has for their lives.
The conversation moves from the “why” of vision into the practical “how.” Tarsha shares how vision boards, journals, planning, and daily action steps can help believers move from revelation to manifestation. She also discusses her book, My Next Step Vision Board, Dream Journal, and Planner, which guides readers through creating vision boards for seven key areas of life and writing down daily next steps to help bring those visions into reality.
Listeners will also hear how Tarsha applies vision in her work as a book publisher, graphic designer, author, and coach. She shares how she seeks the Lord for creative direction, then uses practical tools and action steps to bring what she has seen into finished form.
This episode is a powerful encouragement for anyone who feels stuck, uncertain, or in need of renewed hope. Tarsha reminds listeners that if God has revealed it, He has not changed His mind. The key is to stay focused, remain obedient, and keep walking with Him one step at a time.
Key Topics Covered:
God-given vision and purpose
Why prayer is the starting point for vision
Writing the vision and making it plain
Vision boards, dream journals, and planning
Faith, obedience, and practical action steps
Turning revelation into manifestation
Staying focused on what God has shown you

In this episode of Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, host T.S. Wright welcomes back Joshua Spatha for a deep biblical conversation on Moses, Pharaoh, the Exodus, and the wilderness journey of Israel.
The discussion begins with Moses at the burning bush, where God confronts Moses’ reluctance and calls him into a divine assignment. From there, the conversation moves into Egypt, where Moses stands before Pharaoh in what becomes a direct confrontation between the God of Israel and the false authority of Pharaoh.
T.S. and Joshua unpack the meaning of the ten plagues, the hardening of Pharaoh’s heart, and why God used this confrontation to reveal His glory, power, and authority. They also address difficult theological questions about suffering, divine justice, God’s authority over life and death, and why believers must recognize that God’s ways are higher than man’s ways.
The second half of the episode focuses on Israel’s wilderness journey. T.S. and Joshua discuss the Red Sea, manna, spiritual amnesia, Israel’s repeated grumbling, and the importance of building memorials of remembrance when God proves Himself faithful. They connect Israel’s wilderness testing to the believer’s own walk of faith, showing how trials can produce endurance, spiritual maturity, and deeper trust in Christ.
This episode is a strong reminder that God never loses, His authority is absolute, and His faithfulness remains even when His people struggle to trust Him.
Key Topics Covered

Moses’ reluctance and God’s call

In this episode of TS Wright Speaks, TS Wright walks through 1 Samuel 8, where Israel demands a king “like all the other nations.” Samuel is displeased, but when he prays, the Lord reveals the deeper issue: the people are not merely rejecting Samuel’s leadership; they are rejecting God as their King.
This teaching examines the spiritual warning inside Israel’s demand. The people wanted visible, earthly control, but God warned them that the king they desired would take their sons, daughters, fields, servants, livestock, and freedom. What looked like security would become bondage.
TS Wright connects this passage to the believer’s daily walk with Christ. When life feels unstable, chaotic, or uncertain, the faithful response is not to demand our own solution, but to go before the Lord in prayer. Like Samuel, we must listen carefully, seek God’s will, and ask whether what we are requesting is truly what God desires.
This episode challenges listeners to consider a vital question: Have we embraced Jesus only as Savior, or have we also surrendered to Him as Lord and King?
Key Themes
1 Samuel 8 as a warning passage
Israel’s rejection of God as King
Samuel’s first response: prayer
The danger of demanding our own way
Unintended consequences of rejecting God’s rule
Jesus Christ as Savior, Lord, and King
Learning to ask God what He wants us to pursue
Surrender, obedience, and spiritual clarity
The difference between earthly rule and divine kingship
Key Scriptures Referenced
1 Samuel 8
John 16:33
Romans 1:18 and following
Psalm 100
Psalm 117
Psalm 91
Psalm 20
Matthew 6:9–13
Psalm 46:10
Episode Takeaway
Be careful what you ask God for when your heart is not surrendered to His will. Israel demanded a king and received one, but the consequences were severe. The call for believers today is to stop resisting the Lord’s rule and fully embrace Jesus Christ as King over every part of life.
Call to Action
This week, go before the Lord and ask:
“Lord, in what ways am I not making You King of my life?”
Then ask Him what He wants you to pursue, who He wants you to pray for, and what He wants you to focus on in this season.
Closing Encouragement
Go forth in total surrender to the One who owns and reigns over all creation and let the great harvest begin.

In this episode of Kingdom Crossroads, TS Wright welcomes filmmaker Andrew Linn for a timely conversation on America’s Judeo-Christian foundations, religious liberty, and the often-misunderstood phrase “separation of church and state.”
Andrew shares his personal faith journey as a half-Jewish believer in Jesus, his background in documentary filmmaking, and the heart behind his new film on Roger Williams, Church and State, and the founding of freedom of religion in America. The discussion explores how early American colonies often had state-supported denominations, why Baptists and other dissenters pushed for true liberty of conscience, and how Roger Williams helped shape a vision of religious freedom rooted in Scripture rather than secularism.
TS and Andrew also discuss the difference between freedom of religion and freedom from religion, the influence of biblical morality on America’s founding, and why Christians should understand and engage the public square without advocating for a theocracy.
Topics CoveredAndrew Linn’s background, faith journey, and documentary work.
Roger Williams and the founding of Rhode Island.
The true historical meaning of separation of church and state.
The Danbury Baptists and Thomas Jefferson’s famous letter.
Why religious liberty was meant to protect faith, not remove it from public life.
The Puritans, the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and early colonial theocracy.
Freedom of conscience, soul liberty, and biblical arguments for religious freedom.
America as a republic rooted in law, liberty, and Judeo-Christian moral foundations.
Why Christians should understand history as America approaches the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
Featured GuestAndrew Linn is a filmmaker and documentary producer whose work includes Fearless Freddy, a documentary about a World War II submariner, and a new documentary exploring Roger Williams, church and state, and the founding of religious liberty in America. In the episode, Andrew describes himself as a half-Jewish believer in Jesus who came to faith in his early twenties and later pursued documentary filmmaking.
Resources MentionedChurch and State Documentary

Closing ThoughtReligious liberty was not established to drive God out of public life. It was established to keep the state from controlling the conscience, coercing worship, or dictating doctrine. As America reflects on its founding, this episode calls believers to recover the historical and biblical foundations of freedom.

In this powerful Part 2 conversation, TS Wright welcomes back historian and author Jane Hampton Cook to continue the discussion on America’s founding, the Revolutionary War, divine providence, George Washington, and the meaning of July 4th.
Jane shares remarkable stories from George Washington’s life, including the early battlefield miracle where bullets tore through his coat and horses were shot from under him, yet he survived unharmed. She explains how Washington and many of the founding generation understood these moments not as luck, but as the interpositions of Providence.
The conversation also explores key Revolutionary War moments, including the storm that helped protect Boston, the crossing of the Delaware, the victory at Trenton, Valley Forge, the French alliance, and the final major victory at Yorktown.

In this episode of Kingdom Crossroads, TS Wright welcomes author, speaker, ministry connector, and content coordinator Karen Whiting. Karen serves on the board of directors for the Advanced Writers and Speakers Association and helps connect Christian writers and speakers with ministry opportunities.
Karen shares how God redirected her life from mathematics into writing, teaching her to simply say “yes” and trust Him to equip her for the work He called her to do. She explains how that obedience led to multiple book contracts and a ministry of writing resources for families, military households, women, and believers seeking peace and purpose.
The conversation highlights Karen’s book Stories of Faith and Courage from the Home Front, which features one story per day from 1755 to 2012, focusing on women, families, and children during America’s wars rather than the battles themselves. Karen shares remarkable stories of courage, including women who served as spies, supporters, fundraisers, and protectors during the American Revolution.
TS and Karen also discuss 52 Weekly Devotions for Families Called to Serve, a devotional designed for military families, first responders, missionaries, and others who live lives of service. Karen offers practical encouragement for families facing deployment, separation, uncertainty, and hardship, reminding listeners to trust God and cherish the moments they have together.
The episode concludes with a look at Growing a Peaceful Heart, Karen’s devotional focused on inner peace, peace in relationships, and becoming peacemakers in the world. Karen closes by encouraging listeners to celebrate the freedoms we have and thank God for them.

Angela Mackey returns to Kingdom Crossroads for a powerful conversation on godly wisdom, spiritual discernment, and learning how to recognize the difference between worldly advice and wisdom that comes from the Holy Spirit.
TS Wright and Angela walk through the framework of James 3:17, which describes wisdom from above as pure, peace-loving, gentle, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and sincere. Angela explains that believers often need wisdom in complicated situations, but the challenge is learning to distinguish between human opinion and the wisdom God generously promises to give when we ask.
The discussion also highlights the importance of testing the spirits, making sure every word, impression, or piece of advice lines up with Scripture and confesses Jesus Christ as Lord. TS emphasizes that true wisdom will never contradict the Word of God and that prayer must remain central when giving or receiving counsel.
Angela shares practical insight on giving wisdom with gentleness, mercy, sincerity, and humility. She also discusses how wisdom applies to relationships, marriage, forgiveness, reconciliation, and difficult conversations among believers. Together, they stress that pursuing peace does not mean avoiding truth, but speaking truth in love under the leadership of the Holy Spirit.
The episode also connects wisdom with prayer, faith, and knowledge. Angela reminds listeners that a healthy prayer life helps believers stay in step with God, while TS encourages praying the Word and giving up the need to always be right so that God’s wisdom can take its proper place.
Angela also briefly shares about her book, Difficult to Conceive: A Godly Perspective for the Road Ahead, written for women walking through infertility. The book includes encouragement on grief, prayer, wisdom, and trusting God’s direction through difficult seasons.
Key Scriptures Mentioned:
James 1:5
James 3:17
1 John 4
1 Corinthians 1
1 Peter 3:15
Key Takeaways:
God promises to give wisdom generously to those who ask.
True wisdom must be tested by Scripture and the lordship of Jesus Christ.
Godly wisdom is pure, peace-loving, gentle, merciful, impartial, and sincere.
Prayer is essential when giving or receiving advice.
Believers must learn to give up the need to be right and allow God’s wisdom to lead.

In this episode of Kingdom Crossroads, TS Wright welcomes author and researcher John Zachary for a fascinating conversation about his book, The Science Behind the Story of Jesus. John shares his testimony, his call to ministry, and the spiritual experiences that led him to write and publish his research.
The discussion centers on John’s claim that scientific dating, biblical chronology, and historical events reveal repeating patterns of divine control throughout Scripture and world history. He explains how Daniel’s 70 weeks, the movement of the Ark of the Covenant, the crossing of the Jordan River, the destruction of Herod’s Temple, and Jesus’ death and resurrection all point to the reality that God is sovereign over human events.
John also shares how he uses this material for evangelism, especially with skeptics, atheists, agnostics, and those searching for evidence that the Bible is true.
Topics Covered* John Zachary’s testimony and call to ministry * The spiritual experiences that led him to write his book * Scientific data and biblical prophecy * Daniel’s 70 weeks and the Messiah * The significance of 14,000-day patterns in biblical chronology * The Ark of the Covenant, Moses, Joshua, and the crossing of the Jordan * The destruction of Solomon’s Temple and Herod’s Temple * Ezekiel’s Temple vision * Jesus as the fulfillment of the sacrificial system * Why the Old Testament sacrifices pointed forward to Christ * The use of biblical research in evangelism * Israel, Jerusalem, and prophetic fulfillment * The connection between Luke 21, Matthew 24, and end-time prophecy
Key TakeawaysJohn Zachary argues that the Bible contains precise chronological markers that reveal God’s hand in human history. He highlights a recurring 14,000-day control period that he says appears in multiple biblical and historical events.
A central point of the episode is that Jesus’ sacrificial death and resurrection fulfilled what the Old Testament sacrificial system only symbolized. John connects this to the destruction of Herod’s Temple, explaining that the old system was no longer needed after Christ’s finished work.
The conversation also emphasizes evangelism. John explains that his research is not meant to create arguments but to present evidence that can awaken people to the truth of Scripture and the reality of eternal life through Jesus Christ.

In this episode of TS Wright Speaks, TS Wright teaches on “The Calling of Abraham and Moses” and how these two foundational biblical callings reveal the way God still calls His people today.
Abraham was called out of the nations to become the father of a covenant people. Moses was called back into Egypt to deliver that covenant people from bondage. Abraham had to walk by faith into a promise he could not fully see, while Moses had to confront a power he could not overcome in his own strength.
This episode highlights an essential truth: God does not call people merely for their own blessing. He calls them to become vessels through whom His purposes enter the earth. Abraham’s calling required separation from country, kindred, and his father’s house. Moses’ calling required surrender before the holiness of God at the burning bush and obedience in the face of fear.
TS Wright also explains how both callings point directly to Jesus Christ. Abraham reveals the promise of the Seed, fulfilled in Christ. Moses reveals deliverance through blood and power, foreshadowing Christ as the Passover Lamb and Redeemer.
Key ThemesGod calls people into new seasons for His covenant purpose.
Abraham’s calling shows faith that moves.
Moses’ calling shows fear that must be overcome by God’s presence.
Delay does not cancel the calling; delay prepares the servant.
Calling is not merely an invitation to significance, but an invitation to surrender.
Obedience to God may affect generations, deliverance, and testimonies we cannot yet see.

Galatians 3:16

John 8:56
Closing EncouragementWhether God is calling you away from what is familiar or sending you back to confront what once intimidated you, the issue is not whether the assignment is easy. The issue is whether God has spoken. If God has spoken, the right response is faith, obedience, patience, and total surrender to His will.

In this episode of Kingdom Crossroads, TS Wright welcomes Joshua Spatha back for a fascinating discussion on Genesis 6, the Nephilim, and the supernatural worldview of the Bible. Joshua explains the two major interpretations of the “sons of God” passage: the Sethite view and the supernatural view, where the Bene Elohim are understood as angelic or spiritual beings. He also connects the Genesis 6 account to giants in the land, the Anakim, Rephaim, Goliath, King Og, the Book of Enoch, Jubilees, Second Temple Jewish tradition, and New Testament references in Peter and Jude. The conversation challenges modern Western discomfort with the supernatural and urges believers to take seriously the biblical worldview of spiritual realities interacting with the physical world.
In This Episode:
TS and Joshua discuss:
- Why the Nephilim are an important Old Testament theme.
- The Sethite view versus the supernatural view of Genesis 6.
- The meaning of “sons of God” / Bene Elohim.
- Giants in the Bible, including the Anakim, Rephaim, Goliath, and King Og.
- The relationship between Genesis 6 and the flood narrative.
- Why Second Temple Judaism and the early church leaned toward the supernatural interpretation.
- How 1 Enoch, Jubilees, and the Book of the Watchers provide background to Genesis 6.
- Why Peter and Jude appear to allude to the Genesis 6/Enochic tradition.
- How “as in the days of Noah” may connect to end-times discussion.
- Why Christians should not remove the supernatural from Scripture.
Key Quote / Episode Theme:
“The Bible is full of supernatural things. We need to get comfortable with that and stop trying to downplay, minimize, or take safety scissors to the pages of Scripture.”
Scripture and Biblical Themes Mentioned:
Genesis 6; the days of Noah; the flood; sons of God; daughters of men; Nephilim; Anakim; Rephaim; Goliath; King Og; Peter and Jude’s references to angels who left their proper abode; Sodom and Gomorrah; Elijah and Enoch being taken up; prophecy and the supernatural nature of Scripture.

Together, they explore the “sons of God,” the Sethite view, the supernatural interpretation, giants in the Old Testament, the Book of Enoch, Jubilees, the Watchers, and why the days of Noah still matter for believers today.
This episode challenges modern Western discomfort with the supernatural and invites Christians to read Scripture with the worldview the biblical writers actually held.

In this episode of Kingdom Crossroads, TS Wright welcomes Matthew Mark McWhorter, author of Canon Crossfire, for a thoughtful conversation about faith, Scripture, evidence, and the formation of the biblical canon.
Matthew shares how his journey began not in church, but through a personal crisis. After facing cancer and surviving a massive “widow maker” heart attack, he began reading the Bible seriously for the first time. As someone trained as a lawyer, Matthew approached Scripture through investigation, evidence, and comparison—reading across multiple Bible translations and Christian traditions.
The conversation explores Matthew’s path from skepticism to faith, including how books like The Case for Christ and Evidence That Demands a Verdict helped him examine whether Christianity is true. Matthew explains why he believes Christians must be grounded not only in the goodness of Christianity, but in the truth of Christianity.
TS and Matthew also discuss Matthew’s book, Canon Crossfire, which addresses questions surrounding the Old Testament canon, the differences between Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, Ethiopian, and other biblical traditions, and why simplistic answers about the canon can create problems when examined historically.
A major theme of the episode is the importance of honest investigation. Matthew encourages believers, students, pastors, and scholars to look carefully at the evidence, especially when discussing disputed books such as 2 Maccabees and the broader historical development of the Bible.
In This EpisodeTS and Matthew discuss:
- Matthew’s personal testimony and health crisis
- How reading the Bible changed his life
- Why Christianity’s truth claims matter
- The role of apologetics in strengthening faith
- The historical complexity of the biblical canon
- Differences among Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, Ethiopian, and Syriac canons
- Athanasius and the early recognition of the New Testament writings
- Why Christians should avoid shallow answers when defending Scripture
- Matthew’s book Canon Crossfire
- Where listeners can find Matthew’s work

Welcome to TS Wright - Discipleship Training, an introductory lesson from the God-Centered Concept Academy focused on spiritual growth, Christian maturity, and becoming an ambassador for Jesus Christ.
In this episode, T.S. Wright opens with 2 Corinthians 5:11–21 and establishes the end goal of discipleship: believers are called to become ambassadors for Christ, allowing God to make His appeal through them. The lesson emphasizes that receiving Christ is the beginning, but growing in Christ requires training, maturity, and a willingness to be shaped by the Holy Spirit.
T.S. explains that every believer has a God-designed purpose and calling. While all Christians are called to share their faith, that calling will manifest uniquely according to the places, spaces, gifts, and relationships God has given each person. Some may reach people in ministry, others in the workplace, family, medical field, business, or everyday life.
The episode also highlights the biblical truth that anyone in Christ is a new creation. Just as a natural child must grow from milk to maturity, believers must also grow spiritually. T.S. compares discipleship to training, strengthening spiritual muscles, building a firm foundation, and learning how to walk in the Spirit before stepping fully into one’s calling.
Key Scripture:
2 Corinthians 5:20
“Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making His appeal through us.”
Key ThemesSpiritual growth in Christ
Becoming a new creation
Christian discipleship and maturity
Training for your calling
Walking in the Spirit
Becoming an ambassador for Jesus Christ
God making His appeal through believers
The ministry of reconciliation
The Great Harvest
Call to ActionMemorize 2 Corinthians 5:20 and keep the end goal in mind: becoming an ambassador for Christ. When the training feels difficult, remember that God desires to work through you, shape your heart, and use your life to reach others for Jesus.

In This EpisodeTS Wright and Debra McNinch discuss:
- Promises Month and the theme “Promises Over Pride”
- Why God is our refuge in seasons of trouble

Nazareth shares his journey from being born in the Holy Land, growing up in Kuwait, coming to America, and eventually encountering Jesus Christ in 1992.

His heart is to help people “laugh again” while also hearing the good news of Jesus Christ. He also shares how the Lord answered his prayer for a godly wife, how he keeps Christ and family above career, and why clean comedy can break down walls in a divided culture.

In this powerful and heartfelt episode of Kingdom Crossroads, T.S. Wright sits down with worship leader, author, music ministry strategist, and teacher Donna R. Patrick for a deep conversation about praise, worship, pain, perseverance, and spiritual growth.
Donna shares her testimony of growing up in a Christian home, her early calling into music ministry, and how God used both joy and tragedy to deepen her relationship with Him. She opens up about enduring profound personal pain, including the loss of her sister, divorce, and the passing of both parents, while learning to continue praising God through every season.
The conversation centers around John 4:23–24 and the biblical meaning of worshiping God “in spirit and in truth.” Donna explains why true worship is not about performance, production, or appearances, but about a sincere heart surrendered to God.

- It’s In Your Praise – a devotional and study guide focused on holiness, obedience, power, and expectancy through a lifestyle of praise.

- Praising God through heartbreak and suffering
- Why feelings should not dictate worship
- Spiritual warfare and praise as a weapon

In this powerful continuation of the Spiritual Disciplines series, T.S. Wright and Joshua Spatha dive deep into the biblical reality of spiritual warfare and why every believer must understand how to engage in it through humility, discernment, prayer, Scripture, and worship.
Joshua explains the importance of recognizing both physical and spiritual realities while avoiding the extremes of either dismissing spiritual warfare entirely or attributing everything to demonic activity. Together, they discuss biblical authority, discernment of spirits, regional strongholds, prophetic acts, and practical ways Christians can remain spiritually vigilant in everyday life.
This episode emphasizes that spiritual warfare is not about theatrics or emotional displays—it is about standing in the authority of Christ while remaining fully dependent on God’s power and guidance.
In This Episode* Why spiritual warfare is part of Christian discipline * The Western worldview vs. biblical spiritual awareness * Discernment: identifying spiritual vs. fleshly issues * Why humility is essential in warfare prayer * Understanding authority through Christ * The danger of spiritual pride and theatrics * Biblical perspectives on demonic oppression and attachment * Prayer, Scripture, and worship as spiritual weapons * Regional strongholds and spiritual atmospheres * Walking in the Spirit instead of the flesh
Key Scriptures Mentioned* Ephesians 6 – The Armor of God * Matthew 28 – Authority given by Christ * Galatians 5 – Walking in the Spirit * Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness * Elijah and the heavenly host
Key Takeaways* Spiritual warfare is real but must be approached biblically. * Believers fight from Christ’s authority, not their own strength. * Discernment is essential in identifying spiritual battles. * Worship, prayer, and Scripture are foundational spiritual weapons. * Humility and surrender to God are central to effective spiritual warfare.

In this powerful episode of Kingdom Crossroads, TS Wright sits down with author, speaker, and podcast pioneer Misty Phillip to discuss the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence through a biblical lens. Misty shares her personal testimony—from loss and transformation to homeschooling, writing, and launching a podcast movement—and explains how God led her into conversations about AI, discipleship, and discernment.
Together, they explore the opportunities and dangers of AI, including its impact on jobs, relationships, church leadership, and the next generation. Misty introduces her book The Trojan Horse of the Digital Age and provides practical guidance for families, churches, and believers navigating technology faithfully.

Closing ThoughtAs technology accelerates, believers must remain grounded in truth, led by the Spirit, and committed to authentic discipleship—because the future isn’t just digital, it’s deeply spiritual.
In this powerful episode of Kingdom Crossroads, host TS Wright sits down with Pastor Jenn Dafoe-Turner to explore a deeply moving testimony of redemption, healing, and spiritual transformation.

Final ThoughtFreedom isn’t achieved—it’s received through surrender. No matter your past, God’s grace is greater, and transformation is always possible.
In this insightful episode of Kingdom Crossroads, host T.S. Wright welcomes returning guest Lori Yarbrough for a deep and practical discussion on one of the most overlooked dynamics in relationships: intent versus impact.
While many people focus on what they meant to say, Lori emphasizes that what truly shapes relationships is how words are received. Drawing from biblical principles and decades of marriage experience, she unpacks how misunderstanding, defensiveness, and poor communication quietly erode connection—and how intentional listening can restore it.
Key Topics Covered Intent vs. Impact Defined * Understanding the difference between what you meant and how it was received—and why both matter. * Why Good Intentions Aren’t Enough * Even loving words can cause hurt if not communicated carefully. * The Danger of Defensiveness * Common reactions like “you’re too sensitive” or “that’s not what I meant” can shut down meaningful dialogue. * Biblical Communication Principles * Speaking the truth in love, managing emotional responses, and aligning your heart before speaking. * Marriage & Conflict Resolution Insights * Lessons from nearly 45 years of marriage, including how roles, personality differences, and emotional processing affect communication. * Practical Tools for Better Conversations Lead with acknowledgment, not defense * Ask clarifying questions * Listen to understand, not to win * Pause when emotions are high * The Power of Feeling Seen and Heard * Relationships deteriorate when people feel unheard—and heal when they feel understood. * Faith-Based Perspective on Relationships* * How Christ-centered humility, patience, and love transform communication in marriage and beyond.
Key Takeaways Both intent and impact can be true at the same time. * People don’t process words logically first—they feel them emotionally. * Listening well is more powerful than being right. * Healthy relationships require emotional awareness and spiritual maturity*. * Communication isn’t about winning—it’s about understanding.

Final ThoughtStrong relationships aren’t built on perfect communication—but on how we respond when things go wrong. When we learn to value both intent and impact, we create space for healing, growth, and lasting connection.
In this powerful and heartfelt episode of Kingdom Crossroads, T.S. Wright sits down with Christian author and educator Kathy Dye to explore how God uses life’s most difficult seasons to shape purpose, legacy, and faith.
Kathy shares her deeply personal journey—from growing up in a ministry family to spending nearly three decades in education and ultimately stepping into writing. Her inspiration for her first book, A Song in Her Heart, was born through walking alongside her mother’s battle with Alzheimer’s, where she witnessed how music and faith remained even when memory faded.
Together, they discuss how God places a unique “song” in every believer—one that can still be expressed even in suffering, loss, and uncertainty.
Key Topics Covered Growing up in a multi-generational Christian household * The impact of Alzheimer’s and faith in difficult seasons * How storytelling reflects the teaching style of Jesus * Writing children’s books with biblical principles * The importance of legacy and passing faith to the next generation * Kathy’s upcoming Bible study: The Song in Our Heart * The “S.O.N.G.” Bible study method: * S – Scripture * O – Observation * N – Nesting (personal reflection) * G* – Growth
Featured Books by Kathy Dye A Song in Her Heart – Helping children understand Alzheimer’s through faith * Kit Kat Camp: No Electronics – Encouraging imagination and unplugged living * Kit Kat Camp and the Grumpy Neighbor* – Teaching empathy and understanding others
Key TakeawayEven in life’s hardest moments, God remains our strength and our song. When we root ourselves in Him, our story becomes a testimony that can impact generations to come.

Are you truly walking in genuine faith—or just believing you are?
In this powerful teaching from the book of James, TS Wright breaks down the first four of the 12 tests of real faith—practical, Spirit-led markers that reveal whether your faith is maturing or misaligned.
James doesn’t just teach doctrine—he tests alignment. This episode dives deep into how your faith responds under pressure and how God uses trials to shape you for eternity.
In Part 1, we explore: The Test of Trials – Do hardships produce perseverance or bitterness? * The Test of Wisdom – Are you seeking God’s guidance in difficulty? * The Test of Humility – Is your identity rooted in Christ or the world? * The Test of Temptation* – Are you walking in the Spirit or giving in to the flesh?
You’ll also learn:
- Why stress tolerance is a key indicator of spiritual maturity
- How trials are designed to prepare you for eternity
- The difference between religious belief and tested faith
- How to recognize when your heart is drifting out of alignment
This is not about perfection—it’s about progression. Faith is refined through testing, and James gives us the blueprint.

In this powerful episode of Kingdom Crossroads, host TS Wright sits down with Reverend Stu Woods from Australia for a deeply impactful conversation about redemption, truth, and the transforming power of Jesus Christ.
From a turbulent youth marked by poor decisions and spiritual drift to a life radically reoriented by the Word of God, Rev. Woods shares his raw and honest testimony. What began as a search for direction ultimately led him into ministry—serving both inside prisons and in the community, reaching those often overlooked by society.
Together, they unpack:
- The reality of sin and why it must be clearly defined
- The balance of God’s love and justice
- Why salvation is by grace alone—not works
- The urgency of the Gospel in today’s world
- What it truly means to follow Jesus as Lord
This episode does not dilute the message. It presents the full Gospel—clear, direct, and uncompromising—while extending the invitation of Christ to all who will hear.
If you’ve ever questioned your purpose, struggled with your past, or wondered what it really means to be saved, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.
Jesus is not just part of the journey—He is the destination.

In this episode of TS Wright Speaks, we dive deep into Revelation 5:11–14, exploring the overwhelming heavenly vision of worship surrounding the Lamb of God—Jesus Christ.
Scripture reveals countless angels, living creatures, and elders declaring with one voice:
“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain…”
But what does it truly mean that Jesus alone is worthy?
This teaching connects Revelation with:
- Philippians 2 — Every knee will bow
- Isaiah 52 — The exalted servant
- 1 John 4 — Testing the spirits
You’ll discover:
- Why Jesus is the only legitimate source of truth
- The danger of relying on unworthy sources (self, culture, ideology)
- What it means to place Christ on the throne of your life
- A clear call to action: align every decision with Him
This is not just theology—it’s kingdom alignment.
If you’ve ever questioned where to turn for truth, direction, or authority, this message will challenge and recalibrate your foundation.
Jesus is not just Savior—He is King. And He alone is worthy.

In this powerful episode of TS Wright Speaks, we dive deep into Revelation 5:1–10, uncovering one of the most profound scenes in all of Scripture.
John witnesses a sealed scroll in the hand of God—written on both sides and secured with seven seals. A search begins across heaven, earth, and under the earth… yet no one is found worthy to open it. That is, until the Lion of the tribe of Judah—the Lamb who was slain—steps forward.
This passage reveals far more than end-times prophecy. It unveils the identity, authority, and worthiness of Jesus Christ as King, Redeemer, and the only one able to execute God’s divine plan.
In this episode, we explore:
- The meaning of the scroll and its seven seals
- Why no one in creation was worthy to open it
- The dual identity of Jesus as both Lion and Lamb
- The significance of the seven spirits of God
- Heavenly worship and what it reveals about Christ’s authority
- What it truly means to surrender and live under His Lordship
This isn’t just about prophecy—it’s about who Jesus is right now and how that demands a response from us.
If Revelation is about anything, it is this:
Jesus Christ is worthy—and our lives must reflect that truth.
Episode Summary (Bullet Format – For Blog/Show Notes)1. The scroll represents God’s divine plan and authority 2. Written on both sides → completeness and perfection 3. Seven seals → divine authority and total security 4. No one is worthy → highlights human and angelic limitation 5. Jesus alone is worthy → both Lion (authority) and Lamb (sacrifice) 6. The seven spirits → fullness of God’s Spirit 7. Worship in heaven centers on Jesus, not man 8. Believers are redeemed to become a kingdom and priests 9. True faith = surrender, obedience, and allegiance to Christ

In this episode of TS Wright Speaks, we take a deep dive into James Chapter 1 and uncover what can be understood as the 12 steps of spiritual growth revealed through trials, faith, endurance, wisdom, and obedience.
The book of James provides one of the most practical guides for Christian living in the entire New Testament. Trials are not obstacles to faith—they are God’s training ground for spiritual maturity. Through testing, endurance, and reliance on God’s wisdom, believers are shaped into people of faith who reflect the character of Christ.
In this teaching, we walk step-by-step through James 1 and examine how spiritual growth develops through:
• Trials that initiate faith
• Testing that produces patience
• Endurance that builds character
• Wisdom that comes from God
• Faith that creates stability
• A kingdom perspective on wealth
• Eternal rewards for endurance
• Understanding the origin of sin
• Recognizing God’s unchanging character
• Receiving God’s Word with humility
• Living out the Word in obedience
• Demonstrating true religion through righteousness
James reminds us that spiritual maturity is not simply hearing God’s Word—but doing it.
If you want to understand how God uses life’s trials to refine your faith and produce lasting spiritual growth, this study of James Chapter 1 will give you a powerful biblical framework for your journey.
Episode Summary (Show Notes Version)The 12 Steps of Spiritual Growth (James 1)1. Trials initiate spiritual growth – Faith begins to grow through testing. 2. Trials test our faith – Testing produces patience. 3. Endurance builds character – God walks us through the fire, not around it. 4. Maturity seeks wisdom from God – We depend on God, not our own understanding. 5. Faith creates stability – Believers must avoid being double-minded. 6. Kingdom perspective on wealth – Wealth is a tool, not an identity. 7. Endurance leads to eternal reward – The faithful receive the crown of life. 8. Understanding the origin of sin – Desire → temptation → sin → death. 9. Recognizing God’s character – God is the giver of every good gift. 10. Receiving the Word properly – Be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger. 11. Hearing and doing the Word – Spiritual alignment requires obedience. 12. Evidence of true religion – Practical righteousness, compassion, and holiness.
These steps show how God forms believers through trials, wisdom, humility, and obedience.

What happens when God calls you through dreams?
In this episode of Kingdom Crossroads, T.S. Wright sits down with Cassy Aynes to discuss her journey from personal struggle to a powerful calling into missions.
Cassy shares how her life changed after her son experienced a devastating ATV accident that doctors believed he would never recover from. Through prayer and unwavering faith, her family witnessed miracle after miracle as he regained the ability to walk, talk, and live a normal life again.

- How God still speaks through dreams and visions
- The importance of short-term mission trips
- Why the mission field can begin right across the street
- How believers can step out in faith and share the Gospel
T.S. Wright also discusses the importance of gospel conversations, faith in action, and answering the call of Christ to make disciples of all nations.

In this powerful episode of Kingdom Crossroads, host TS Wright sits down with Joe “Rooz” Russiello for a raw and inspiring testimony about how God radically transformed his life.
Joe grew up in a Roman Catholic family in Brooklyn, New York, but questions about faith began at a young age. After years of searching, rebellion, and living life on his own terms, Joe eventually found himself working in law enforcement in New York City — still searching for something deeper.
Everything changed when a Christian partner continually challenged him with one simple question: “Are you saved?”
What followed was a journey through Scripture, Christian radio teachings, and a life-changing meeting with a pastor on a New York pier where Joe finally surrendered his life to Jesus Christ.
In this episode you’ll hear:
- Joe’s upbringing in New York and early exposure to theology
- His struggles with religion, doubt, and worldly living
- How a persistent Christian coworker helped point him toward truth
- The moment he encountered the gospel and surrendered his life to Christ
- His calling into Bible teaching and ministry
- Why the Word of God alone changed everything
This conversation is a powerful reminder that no one is too far gone for God to reach.
If you have ever wrestled with faith, searched for truth, or wondered how God changes a life — this testimony will encourage and challenge you.

In this episode of TS Wright Speaks, we explore one of the most awe-inspiring passages in Scripture—Revelation chapter 4, where the apostle John is given a glimpse into the throne room of heaven.
John describes the throne of God surrounded by a radiant rainbow, flashes of lightning, twenty-four elders seated on thrones, and four living creatures who continually proclaim:
“Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come.”
But this chapter is not just about heavenly imagery. It reveals something much deeper—the nature of true worship.
In this teaching, we examine:
- What John saw when the door to heaven opened
- The meaning of the throne, the elders, and the living creatures
- Why the elders cast their crowns before God
- What it means to worship God as Creator
- The difference between conversion and discipleship
- Why real worship involves surrendering every part of our lives to God
Revelation 4 reminds us that everything we have—our abilities, our voice, our body, and our life—ultimately belongs to the One who created all things. True worship is not just what we do in church; it is how we live every moment before the Creator.
Join us as we unpack this powerful passage and consider the question every believer must answer:
Are we merely converts, or are we true disciples of Christ?
As Scripture declares:
“Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created.”
Episode Show NotesScripture Covered1. Revelation 4 2. Isaiah 11:2–3 3. Luke 14:26–33
Key Themes1. The throne room of heaven 2. God as Creator of all things 3. Heavenly worship 4. The crowns of the elders 5. True discipleship vs. conversion 6. Living a life of total surrender to God
Key TakeawayTrue worship is not limited to church services. It is the daily act of laying everything we are and everything we have before the Creator who gave it to us.

In this episode, TS Wright explores Revelation Chapter 1, the opening vision of the book of Revelation and the powerful revelation of Jesus Christ given to the Apostle John.
This study examines the authority of Christ, the connection between the Word of God and the testimony of Jesus, and the call for believers to remain faithful to Scripture.
Revelation begins not as speculation about future events, but as God’s unveiling of Jesus Christ in glory. John’s vision reveals Christ standing among the lampstands, speaking with divine authority to His church and revealing the foundation for everything that follows in the book of Revelation.
In this teaching we explore:
• The revelation of Jesus Christ in Revelation 1
• The vision of the glorified Christ
• The authority of Jesus over His church
• The connection between God’s Word and the testimony of Jesus
• Why obedience to Scripture is essential for believers
If you are seeking a deeper understanding of the Book of Revelation, biblical prophecy, and the person of Jesus Christ, this episode will help you see why Revelation begins with the authority and majesty of Christ.

Main Content:
- Early Struggles and Awakening
Mike Freezer's journey began before his teenage years when he first accepted Christ as his Savior. However, attending a spiritually stagnant church hindered his growth. After high school, he found himself on the wrong path, leading to a pivotal moment where he sought to realign his life with God.

From his beginnings as a college athlete to becoming a missionary and coach, Kirk's life is a narrative of transformation through discipleship and community engagement.
Main Content:
- The Beginning of a Journey
Coach Kirk Benson’s journey started at Henderson State University, where he was introduced to a Bible study by one of his coaches. Initially skeptical about faith, Kirk was motivated to attend by the promise of good food and the company of college girls. This humorous yet relatable start unveils the authentic, often unexpected ways God can draw us into a deeper relationship.
- The Wrestling of Faith
As Kirk began attending these Bible studies, he faced a significant internal struggle. He candidly shared that for six months, he felt burdened, akin to carrying a heavy sack, as he wrestled with his understanding of sin and faith. His breakthrough came when he read Rick Warren’s book, "The Purpose Driven Life," which challenged his self-centered outlook. This pivotal moment opened his eyes to a new perspective: life is not about him, but about God.

Kirk's experiences highlight how discipleship can occur in diverse contexts, bridging cultural and linguistic gaps.
- Impacting Lives Abroad
Kirk’s work overseas wasn’t just about coaching; it was about building relationships and sharing the Gospel. He recounts how he used language learning as a tool for ministry, meeting regularly with individuals interested in exploring faith. His approach was rooted in vulnerability and authenticity, creating an environment where others felt comfortable discussing their spiritual journeys. One significant story included a young man who, after months of exploration, accepted Christ and was baptized, marking a notable moment in a region with a complex history of faith.
Conclusion: Coach Kirk Benson’s journey underscores the profound impact of discipleship and community on personal transformation. From a skeptical college athlete to a devoted missionary, Kirk’s life illustrates that meaningful connections and genuine faith can lead to significant change, not only in one’s own life but also in the lives of others.

Introduction: In a world filled with distractions and spiritual apathy, the message from Revelation chapter 3 is more relevant than ever. TS Wright dives into the profound teachings found in this scripture, urging listeners to awaken their spirits and genuinely connect with God’s purpose. This blog post explores key insights from the podcast transcript, providing a roadmap for revitalizing faith and understanding the role of the church in today’s society.
Understanding the Seven Spirits of God: TS Wright begins by discussing the significance of the seven spirits of God, referencing Isaiah 11:2-3. He emphasizes that these spirits represent different aspects of God’s nature—His foundational, moral, and relational attributes. By understanding these characteristics, believers can better grasp the essence of God’s presence in their lives. For instance, God is depicted as a spirit of wisdom, understanding, and counsel, which can guide us in our daily decisions.
The Symbolism of the Seven Stars: Moving deeper into Revelation, Wright explains the meaning behind the seven stars mentioned in the text. He clarifies that these stars represent the angels of the seven churches, signifying a divine oversight and connection between heaven and the church on earth. This imagery serves to remind us that each church has a unique role and responsibility, and that divine authority rests in the hands of Jesus, who oversees these spiritual leaders.
The Church in Sardis: Focusing on the church in Sardis, Wright highlights a grave warning: despite having a reputation for being alive, the church was spiritually dead. This stark reality prompts a call to action for believers to wake up, strengthen their faith, and align their deeds with God’s will. The message urges individuals to reflect on their spiritual condition, emphasizing the necessity of repentance and genuine transformation. Wright suggests that recognizing our spiritual shortcomings is the first step toward renewal.
The Importance of Repentance: Throughout the discussion, the theme of repentance resurfaces as a critical element for spiritual revival. Wright points out that acknowledging one's sins and turning from them is not just a one-time act but a continuous journey. He stresses that repentance is vital for maintaining a vibrant relationship with God, encouraging listeners to embrace this practice as a way to grow closer to Him.
Conclusion: In conclusion, TS Wright’s insights from Revelation challenge us to evaluate our spiritual vitality and the role of the church in our lives. By understanding the nature of God, the significance of the angels overseeing our churches, and the importance of repentance, we can awaken our spirits and live out our faith authentically. Key takeaways include the necessity of recognizing spiritual deadness, the call to genuine repentance, and the understanding that our lives are part of a larger narrative centered on Jesus Christ.

With insights that resonate deeply, Tessa invites us to consider the power of prayer and the messages we impart to the next generation.
Main Content:
- Tessa Dunn's Journey of Faith
Tessa Dunn's story begins in a nurturing Christian home, filled with the warmth of the Holy Spirit. Growing up, she was captivated by the church choir, often mistaking their angelic voices for those of heavenly beings. Her early experiences planted the seeds for a lifelong fascination with angels and the divine. Tessa's journey continued as she married a fellow believer, and together they raised three children who walk in faith. Her family discussions reflect the complexities of contemporary life, igniting her desire to share the importance of prayer and belief in the unseen.
- The Inspiration Behind the Book
Tessa's venture into children's literature began when a friend encouraged her to write after sharing her own storybook. With encouragement from her husband and friends, Tessa felt inspired to put her own story into words. Central to her narrative is an encounter she had as a child with Mother Alexandra, a nun who had a remarkable past as a princess in Romania. This meeting left an indelible mark on Tessa, shaping her understanding of faith and the significance of nurturing children's minds with positive messages from an early age.
- The Role of Angels in Faith
Diving deeper into the theme of angels, Tessa and host T.S. Wright discuss the biblical references that highlight the presence of angels throughout scripture. Tessa notes that angels are mentioned 179 times in the New Testament and 111 times in the Old Testament, emphasizing their importance in the divine narrative. She explains the nine choirs of angels, from guardian angels assigned to individuals to archangels like Michael and Gabriel, who play pivotal roles in biblical stories.
- The Importance of Nurturing Faith in Children
Tessa passionately advocates for instilling strong values and faith in children. She recognizes that the quality of children's literature today often lacks the depth and truth that was prevalent in the past. Her book aims to blend the charm of classic fairy tales with profound truths about faith, prayer, and the unseen world. Tessa believes that positive messages from parents and caregivers can significantly impact children's lives, providing them with a solid foundation as they navigate the challenges of the world.
Conclusion:
Tessa Dunn's insights remind us of the importance of nurturing faith in our families and the profound impact of storytelling.

Title: Embracing Spiritual Ownership: A Path to Revival in 2026
Introduction:
As we step into the new year of 2026, many of us are eager to explore how we can deepen our faith and engage more meaningfully with our communities. In a recent episode of the Kingdom Crossroads podcast, host T.S. Wright and Pastor Phil Tague shared invaluable insights on fostering a culture of spiritual ownership within the church, aiming for revival that starts from the grassroots level.
Main Content:
- The Vision for 2026
Pastor Phil emphasizes that while the mission of the church remains unchanged, the vision can evolve. In 2026, his church is aiming to see 5,000 individuals set free in Christ over the next five years. This goal isn’t merely about numbers; it’s about fostering genuine spiritual transformation. Phil believes we are in a pre-revival era, particularly among younger generations, and that it is crucial for church members to take responsibility for their faith and the spaces they occupy.
- The Call for Spiritual Responsibility
One of the key themes discussed is the need for laypeople to embrace their role as spiritual leaders in their communities. Phil stresses that revival will not stem from charismatic preachers alone but from everyday believers taking ownership of their faith. He notes that every member of the church is a priest in their own right, and they must recognize their power to influence those around them.
T.S. Wright echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of getting church members to take the message outside the church walls and into their daily lives.
- Practical Steps for Implementation
Pastor Phil shares practical steps his church is taking to implement this vision. They have focused on preparing their staff and congregation for the upcoming changes by instilling the concept of spiritual ownership. This preparation includes prayer meetings and discussions on the importance of discipleship. Phil highlights the significance of creating an invite culture within the church, where members are encouraged to bring friends and family to events and services, fostering a community of growth.
- Creating Conditions for Growth
Throughout the conversation, a metaphor emerges: the gardener’s role in preparing the field for growth. Phil reminds listeners that while we can’t control the harvest, we can prepare the conditions for it. He references the biblical story of Elisha and the widow, illustrating that the miracle of revival happens when believers prepare their hearts and communities for God’s work. The responsibility lies in creating an environment ripe for growth, where spiritual hunger can flourish.
- The Importance of Prayer and Meditation
The discussion also touches on the power of prayer and meditation on God’s Word. Both T.S. and Phil advocate for the practice of praying for guidance and opportunities to share faith with others. By asking God to place someone in their path to reach, believers can align their hearts with God’s will and actively engage in their communities.
Conclusion:
As we embark on this new year, let us take the lessons shared by Pastor Phil and T.S. Wright to heart. The call to spiritual ownership is not just a challenge but a transformative journey for every believer. By preparing our hearts, engaging in prayer, and taking responsibility for our communities, we can pave the way for a revival that truly reflects the love and power of Christ.
Key Takeaways:
-
Embrace spiritual ownership to foster community transformation.
-
Prepare the church environment for growth and revival.
-
Engage in prayer and meditation to align with God’s will.
-
Encourage an invite culture to expand the reach of the church.

Title: Unpacking the Message to the Church in Thyatira: Lessons for Today
Introduction: Welcome to our exploration of the Church in Thyatira, a topic that resonates deeply with both historical and contemporary audiences. In this blog post, we will delve into the lessons derived from Revelation 2:18-29, exploring the warnings and encouragements directed at this early church and how they apply to our lives today.
Main Content:
- The Image of Christ
The passage opens with a powerful description of Jesus as the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like polished bronze. This imagery conveys authority and judgment, reminding us that Jesus is not only our savior but also a figure of immense power who sees and knows all. This establishes a foundation for understanding the message to the church in Thyatira.
- Commendation for Good Works
Jesus acknowledges the congregation's deeds, love, faith, service, and perseverance, stating that their latter works exceed their first. This commendation emphasizes the importance of growth in our faith and actions. Thyatira was praised for its commitment to the gospel and its ability to withstand challenges while actively demonstrating love and service to others. This serves as an encouragement for us to continually strive to deepen our faith and increase our good works.
- A Serious Warning
Despite the positive remarks, Jesus delivers a stern warning against the tolerance of a false prophetess named Jezebel. Her teachings led many astray into sexual immorality and idolatry. This aspect of the message highlights the dangers of complacency and the acceptance of moral compromises within the church. It serves as a crucial reminder for modern believers to remain vigilant against influences that contradict biblical teachings.
- The Challenge of Cultural Compromise
The church faced the challenge of pluralism, where the teachings of Christ were mingled with societal norms that contradicted the gospel. This is akin to many contemporary issues where believers may unintentionally adopt values that are contrary to their faith. Jesus calls His followers to reject such compromises, urging a commitment to purity and holiness in their walk with Him.
- The Call to Repentance
Jesus expresses His desire for Jezebel to repent, highlighting His patience and mercy. However, the refusal to turn away from sin leads to dire consequences. This aspect of the message serves as a sobering reminder of the importance of repentance in our own lives. It challenges us to reflect on areas where we may be compromising and to seek a return to a pure and devoted relationship with God.
Conclusion:
In summary, the message to the Church in Thyatira offers timeless lessons about faithfulness, the importance of good works, the dangers of cultural compromise, and the necessity of repentance. As we reflect on these teachings, let us strive to be a community that embodies love and service while remaining steadfast in our commitment to the truth of the gospel.
Key Takeaways:
-
Acknowledge and grow in your faith and good works.
-
Be vigilant against false teachings and moral compromises.
-
Prioritize purity and holiness in your relationship with God.

Title: Transformational Leadership: Lessons from Randall Dupre on Creating Lasting Change
Introduction:
In the latest episode of Kingdom Crossroads, host TS Wright engages in a profound conversation with Randall Dupre, a leader passionate about transformation in both personal and professional realms. Dupre shares insights from his faith journey and highlights the importance of effective leadership in achieving sustainable change. This blog post delves into key takeaways from their discussion, offering valuable lessons for anyone looking to lead effectively.
Understanding the ForgePoint Concept
Randall Dupre's ministry, ForgePoint, serves as a metaphor for transformation. He explains that a forge point is a pivotal moment where the right conditions come together, allowing for significant change. Just as metal is transformed in a forge, individuals and organizations can experience profound change when they embrace the right mindset and practices.
A Journey of Faith and Transformation
Dupre’s journey began at 15 when he accepted Jesus Christ as his savior. Raised in a family with mixed religious backgrounds, his faith was not cultivated until he encountered a youth group that sparked his spiritual awakening. This experience ignited a passion for scripture and a desire to understand leadership through a faith-based lens. Dupre emphasizes the importance of personal transformation as a precursor to leading others effectively.
The Importance of Leadership in Organizational Change
Throughout his career in various manufacturing companies, Dupre observed that many transformation efforts failed due to a lack of effective leadership. He stresses that successful change is not merely about implementing tools or processes; it requires a culture of leadership that supports and sustains those changes. For instance, during his time at Boeing, a consulting firm highlighted that their organization was not ready for transformation due to cultural deficiencies. This revelation was a turning point for Dupre, leading him to focus on the intersection of leadership and faith.
Key Leadership Principles
Dupre draws inspiration from John Maxwell, who articulates that the best leaders embody principles demonstrated by Jesus. He believes that effective leadership begins with self-leadership, a concept he illustrates through personal anecdotes. Whether it's striving for personal goals or fostering a healthy organizational culture, leaders must set standards and hold themselves accountable. Dupre's belief is that where there are no standards, there can be no continuous improvement, echoing the principles of Kaizen in lean practices.
Real-World Application: Case Study from Boeing
Randall shares a significant experience from his tenure at Boeing, where he was tasked with leading a transformational change initiative. Despite hiring a prestigious consulting firm, the team discovered that without the right cultural foundation, their efforts would be futile. This scenario underscored the critical role of leadership in creating a conducive environment for change. Dupre’s insights from this experience highlight that leaders must prioritize building a strong culture before attempting to implement new systems.
Conclusion: Key Takeaways for Leaders
The conversation between TS Wright and Randall Dupre offers invaluable lessons on the importance of leadership in driving transformation. Key takeaways include:
-
Transformation requires a strong leadership culture.
-
Effective leaders must start with self-leadership and set clear standards.
-
Personal faith can significantly influence leadership styles and practices.
-
Creating a supportive environment is essential for sustaining change.
By embracing these principles, leaders can navigate the complexities of transformation and foster lasting change within their organizations.

Revitalizing Your Marriage: The Importance of Taking Inventory
Introduction: In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it’s easy for couples to overlook the health of their marriage. However, taking time to evaluate the emotional, spiritual, and communicative aspects of your relationship can make all the difference. In this blog post, we delve into key insights shared by marriage expert Lori Yarbrough during her recent appearance on the Kingdom Crossroads podcast.
Main Content:
- The Necessity of Taking Inventory in Marriage
Lori Yarbrough emphasizes that just as we regularly service our cars to prevent mechanical failures, we must also prioritize our marriages. Couples often neglect their relationship amidst busy schedules and life’s complications. To counter this, Yarbrough suggests couples create two columns: what’s healthy and what’s neglected. This exercise helps identify strengths and areas needing attention.
- The Four Core Pillars of Marriage
When conducting this inventory, Yarbrough identifies four essential areas to assess: emotional connection, spiritual life, communication, and intimacy. Each pillar plays a crucial role in the overall health of the marriage. Couples should engage in open conversations to explore these areas without judgment or blame, focusing instead on nurturing their covenant.
- Keeping the Pursuit Alive
Yarbrough reminds us that attraction in a marriage doesn’t fade; rather, the attention may wane. Pursuing one another doesn’t require grand gestures but rather small, intentional acts of love. For instance, ensuring your spouse knows they are valued through daily gestures can reinforce the bond. As Yarbrough highlights, "Your spouse should never wonder if they are still wanted."
- The Importance of Spiritual Growth
Both partners should pursue their individual relationships with Christ, which Yarbrough notes is foundational for a strong marriage. She shares that praying together has significantly strengthened her relationship with her husband. When spiritual stagnation occurs, it often reflects negatively on the relationship. Each partner must carry their spiritual health, contributing to the overall strength of the marriage.
- The Power of Small Gestures
Love is often communicated through small, everyday actions. Yarbrough shares personal anecdotes about how her husband expresses care by preparing her for trips, emphasizing that these acts of service are his way of saying, "You matter to me." Couples should focus on daily deposits of love rather than waiting for occasional grand gestures.
- The Role of Communication
Effective communication is vital for intimacy. Yarbrough suggests that couples should engage in deeper conversations beyond logistics. Practicing active listening and emotional openness fosters connection. Couples should aim to create space for meaningful dialogue, ensuring both partners feel heard and valued.
Conclusion: Key Takeaways
Taking time to evaluate your marriage is essential for maintaining a healthy relationship. Focus on the four core pillars: emotional connection, spiritual life, communication, and intimacy. Remember to keep the pursuit alive through intentional actions, prioritize spiritual growth, and communicate effectively. Love is built in daily deposits, so make an effort to nurture your relationship through small gestures and meaningful conversations.

TS Wright Speaks: Church in Pergamum Revelation 2:12-17
Introduction:
In the third chapter of Revelation, we encounter the Church in Pergamum, a community grappling with the challenges of faith amid a culture steeped in idolatry and immorality. This podcast episode dives deep into the lessons Jesus imparts to this church, offering timeless wisdom that resonates with believers today.
Main Content:
The Context of Pergamum
The Church in Pergamum existed in a city notorious for its pagan worship and idol practices, symbolized by the phrase "where the throne of Satan sits." TS Wright highlights that this church was located right in the midst of spiritual warfare, a battleground where faith and culture collided. Despite the overwhelming presence of evil, members of the church held fast to their faith, demonstrating remarkable courage and commitment.
Commendation for Faithfulness
Jesus begins His message with commendation, acknowledging the church's perseverance even in the face of persecution. TS Wright points out the significance of this acknowledgment, especially regarding Antipas, a faithful witness who was killed for his beliefs. This serves as a powerful reminder that true faith often requires sacrifice, and believers today must also hold fast to their convictions despite cultural pressures.
Warnings Against Compromise
However, the message is not solely one of encouragement. Jesus issues a stern warning against those in the church who have adopted the teachings of Balaam and the Nicolaitans, practices that led to idolatry and sexual immorality. TS Wright emphasizes that just as the early church faced temptations to conform to cultural norms, modern believers must also guard against the subtle ways in which culture can infiltrate their faith. He urges listeners to recognize the importance of living a life that is set apart, above the moral compromises prevalent in society.
The Call to Repentance
A key theme in this message is the call to repentance. TS Wright elucidates that repentance is a process, not just a one-time confession. It involves a deep heart transformation, turning away from sin, and taking active steps towards obedience. He reminds believers that while the journey may be challenging, the promise of restoration and a new identity in Christ awaits those who repent.
Living Above Culture
In a world where cultural acceptance is often equated with success, TS Wright's insights challenge believers to prioritize their relationship with Jesus above all else. He discusses the dangers of becoming a "carnal Christian," attempting to blend faith with worldly ideologies. Instead, he encourages a commitment to living out the teachings of Christ, even when it comes at a personal cost. The podcast underscores the importance of maintaining a clear distinction between faith and culture, particularly in moments of conflict.
Conclusion:
The message to the Church in Pergamum serves as a timely reminder for contemporary believers to navigate their faith with courage and conviction. Key takeaways include the importance of steadfastness in the face of cultural challenges, the necessity of genuine repentance, and the call to live a life distinctly reflective of Christ's teachings. As we engage with our culture, let us remain anchored in our faith, trusting that ultimately, victory belongs to Christ.

A Call to Faith and Repentance
Wright challenges listeners to reflect on their relationship with Jesus, asking if they have embraced Him as their high priest and mediator. He emphasizes the necessity of recognizing our sin and seeking forgiveness through Christ. This call to faith is crucial as it leads to genuine repentance, which is the heart of the gospel message.

They explore the cultural expectations that often accompany conversion, particularly in Western societies, where individuals may approach faith with a mindset focused on personal improvement and material success. Joshua emphasizes the importance of understanding that true transformation in faith is an internal process, contrasting it with the external metrics often sought in church communities.

Love God, A Journey Through the Greatest Commandment
Introduction:
In today's fast-paced world, understanding the depth of God's love is essential for spiritual growth. Join us as we explore the profound teachings found in Matthew 22:35-38 and Deuteronomy 6:4-5, shedding light on what it truly means to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind.
Main Content:
Section 1: The Greatest Commandment
In Matthew 22:35-38, an expert in the law tests Jesus by asking which commandment is the greatest. Jesus responds emphatically, stating that we should love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, and mind. This powerful commandment sets the foundation for our relationship with God. It emphasizes that our primary duty is to love God in every aspect of our lives.
Section 2: The Call to Love
This call to love is echoed in Deuteronomy 6:4-5, where it states, "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength." Here, we learn that loving God is not just a suggestion but a command that requires our utmost devotion and strength.
Section 3: Seeking God First
Matthew 6:33 further emphasizes the importance of prioritizing our relationship with God: "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." By seeking God first, we align our lives with His purpose, allowing everything else to fall into place. This pursuit of God should be our highest priority.
Section 4: Obedience and Desire
In 1 John 5:1-3, we understand that love for God is demonstrated through obedience to His commandments. True love for God is not just about following rules but having a genuine desire to obey Him. The struggle of "white knuckling" through obedience highlights that without a heartfelt desire, our actions may become mere obligations.
Section 5: The Role of the Holy Spirit
The transformation that occurs when we genuinely seek to love and obey God is empowered by the Holy Spirit. Revelation 3:18-21 reminds us that when we are corrected and rebuked by God, it is out of love. This leads to repentance and a renewed zeal to do His will. When we feel that desire to follow God earnestly, we can be assured that the Holy Spirit is guiding us.
Key Takeaways
In our journey to understand God's love, we find that loving Him wholeheartedly is our greatest commandment. This love compels us to seek Him first, obey His commandments, and be open to the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. By prioritizing our relationship with God, we not only experience His love but also become instruments of His will in the world. Let us surrender to God, allowing Him to reign over our hearts and lead us in His love.

Kingdom ProsperityWhat Jesus Really Said—and How You Can Be Part of ItFolks, we live in a world where everyone is chasing the next big thing—crypto, side hustles, online courses that promise you will “get rich by Tuesday.” People will spend five dollars on a cup of coffee without thinking twice, yet hesitate to invest in something that truly matters for eternity.

Store shelves were emptied, and some folks tried to sell rolls online at outrageous prices, thinking they had found the fast track to prosperity—selling toilet paper.
Let me ask you this: What is it all for?

The Path Benjamin Crawshaw In this episode, with Benjamin Crawshaw, the author of 'The Path', who introduces a transformative perspective on the journey of faith.
The conversation begins with a provocative question: What if the path one is currently following is not the intended one laid out by Jesus? This inquiry sets the stage for a rich dialogue on identity, authenticity, and the pitfalls of striving.

Takeaways:

Stop Living for the Lord Duane Lawernce The conversation centers around a profound and controversial premise: the idea that the conventional approach of "living for the Lord" may inadvertently obstruct believers from experiencing true freedom in Christ. He introduces Duane Lawrence, an influential figure in Christian ministry and the author of "Stop Living for the Lord." Through his work, Duane seeks to liberate individuals from the burdensome cycle of religious performance that often leaves them feeling inadequate. He emphasizes the radical shift in identity that occurs upon being born again, arguing that believers are not defined by their sins but rather by their new creation in Christ. This episode promises to challenge listeners' perspectives on faith, urging them to embrace a relationship with God that transcends traditional expectations and performance-based acceptance.
Takeaways:
- Pastor Bob Thibodeau emphasizes the importance of understanding one's identity in Christ, as it fundamentally transforms the believer's relationship with God and their perception of sin.
- Duane Lawrence's book, 'Stop Living for the Lord,' challenges traditional religious mindsets and encourages believers to shift from a performance-based faith to a relationship-based faith with God.
- The discussion reveals that many Christians struggle with the concept of being accepted by God based on their actions rather than their inherent identity as beloved children of God.
- Through personal testimonies, it becomes evident that discovering true freedom in Christ allows individuals to break free from the cycle of guilt and religious performance, leading to a more fulfilling spiritual life.
- The podcast underscores that the message of salvation is not about what one does for God, but rather about allowing God to work through the believer, emphasizing rest instead of striving in faith.
- Listeners are encouraged to study scripture deeply rather than just reading it, fostering a more profound understanding of God's design and intentions for their lives.

Life’s Echo Steven EndecottImagine being able to share your life story with future generations—your voice, your memories, your wisdom—long after you're gone. What if your loved ones could have a conversation with you years from now, hearing your thoughts and advice just as if you were right there with them? Today, we’re diving into a fascinating new frontier where technology meets legacy.
I’m excited to be sharing with you an extraordinary concept—preserving your legacy in a way that allows future generations to interact with your life story.
Whether it’s leaving messages for milestone events, or sharing life lessons with your grandkids, or even hosting your own funeral celebration, technology is making it possible for your voice to live on in a meaningful way. The ability of AI-powered storytelling is changing the way we think about legacy, connection, and remembrance.
My guest today is Steven Endacott and he is at the forefront of this innovation, and you're going to want to hear what he has to say. This is some exciting stuff…amen!
Steven is the co-founder of “Life’s Echo,” a groundbreaking platform that allows users to document their lives through AI-driven interviews, preserving their stories and creating an interactive experience for loved ones that will be available long after they’ve passed on. Scott and his team are revolutionizing how we leave our mark on the world, and I’m excited to learn more about the inspiration behind Life’s Echo and where it’s headed next.
With that being said, help me welcome to the program, Steven Endecott. Steven, it is a blessing to have you on the program today! I appreciate you taking the time to join us today.
I read that you were the first “AI Member of Parliament in Brighton Pavilion.” Can you explain what that means?
The first question I always ask is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us, in your own words, first of all, “Who is Steven Endecott?
What inspired you to create Life's Echo, and how do you see it transforming the way people preserve their legacies?
Can you walk us through how AI Sarah interacts with users to capture their life stories?
How does Life’s Echo ensure that the user’s personality, voice, and unique storytelling style are accurately preserved and reflected in the final product?
For those left behind, what is the experience like when they engage with their loved one's Life’s Echo? I mean, how interactive and dynamic can these conversations become
What happens if the Life’s Echo is asked something that was not prompted during the interviews with AI Sarah?
Has anybody reported that it felt, “creepy?” or anything like that?
I saw a question on your website… “Do the Catholics really say you’re going to burn in hell for creating this?” WHY?
I know when we were first discussing you coming on the program today, I mentioned I was trying to figure out if I could, in some way, “speak” at my own funeral service, just letting everyone know what they meant to me… and this technology makes that available… Now, before you answer my next question, let’s just put everyone’s thoughts at ease here – Pastor Bob isn’t planning on having to use that ability for awhile yet…amen!
But, You're exploring the concept of users hosting their own funeral celebrations and delivering speeches posthumously. How do you envision this service helping families cope with loss and celebrate their loved one's life

Not A Real Enemy – Robert Wolf, MDThroughout history, there are stories that shake us to our core—stories of unimaginable loss, but also of resilience, courage, and the indomitable will to survive. Today, we’re bringing you one such story—one that remains largely untold but is as poignant and relevant as ever.
It’s a journey through the horrors of the Holocaust, the iron grip of communism, and the enduring spirit of one man and his family. This is a story of survival against all odds, a testament to the strength of the human spirit, and a tribute to those who never had the chance to share their voices.
It’s an honor to welcome Dr. Robert Wolf, the author of “Not a Real Enemy: The True Story of a Jewish Man’s Fight for Freedom,”, a deeply personal and compelling narrative that takes us from the streets of Hungary to the death camps of Auschwitz and beyond.
Dr. Robert Wolf is a man with a profound personal connection to one of the darkest chapters in human history. His book, “Not a Real Enemy: The True Story of a Jewish Man’s Fight for Freedom,” tells the harrowing yet inspiring story of his father, Ervin Wolf, who survived the Holocaust not once - but twice, only to face the oppressive grip of communism in post-war Hungary.
Through meticulous research and heartfelt storytelling, Robert brings to life the struggles, victories, and heartbreaks of his family's journey from persecution to freedom. His book not only honors the memory of his grandparents, Joseph and Kamilla Wolf, who perished at Auschwitz, but also serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience and hope that carried survivors forward. Today, we’ll dive into this incredible story and uncover the lessons it holds for us all.
Your book, “Not a Real Enemy,” is both a tribute and a deeply personal journey. What was the emotional process like for you as you uncovered and told your family’s story?
Your father, Ervin, displayed remarkable resilience, escaping the Nazis twice and later the communists. What do you believe was the driving force behind his will to survive and fight for freedom?
The Holocaust has been widely documented, yet the story of the Jewish community in Győr, Hungary, remains relatively unknown. Why do you think this chapter of history has received so little attention?
Survival stories often come with moments of impossible choices. Can you share some of the key decisions your father had to make, and how they shaped the course of his life?
You weave together historical context and personal narrative almost seamlessly in the book. What were some of the challenges you faced in balancing historical accuracy with storytelling?
How has your family’s history influenced your own perspective on life and identity?
Dr. Wolf, this has been so interesting. How can someone obtain a copy of your book? I take it is on Amazon?
If someone has a question or would like more information or would like to invite you onto an interview such as this… how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below!
Folks, Dr. Robert Wolf’s “Not a Real Enemy: The True Story of a Jewish Man’s Fight for Freedom,” is more than just a personal story—it’s a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable darkness. As we reflect on his family's journey, may we be reminded of the importance of remembering history, standing against oppression, and cherishing the freedoms we so often take for granted.
Drop down into the show notes below and reach out to Dr. Robert Wolf… and be sure to click the link to order his book, “Not a Real Enemy!” This is one book you definitely need to put on your reading list… amen! And be sure to pass it along to someone of, let’s just say, a “younger generation.” Because, as Ronald Reagan once said, “If we don’t learn from history, we are destined to repeat it…” and we definitely don’t want to do that again. Amen!

Echoes of Babel: The Timeless Warning for Modern Society - TS WrightToday's interview revolves around the profound implications of the Tower of Babel narrative, highlighting its relevance in contemporary society. Scott Wright discusses humanity's early quest for unity resulted not in harmony, but in disarray and division, and this lesson resonates with today's technological advancements and societal challenges.
We dive into why God's intervention was necessary during this historical moment, suggesting that the potential for human advancement without divine guidance could lead to perilous outcomes, reminiscent of the current technological landscape.
We then explore the parallels between Babel and modern initiatives like global governance and artificial intelligence, she emphasizes the inherent risks of pursuing unity apart from God's will.
Ultimately listeners are challenged to reflect on the direction of human ambition and the necessity of Christ in the pursuit of true progress and peace.
Takeaways:* The Tower of Babel serves as a historical cautionary tale regarding humanity's attempts at unity without divine guidance, illustrating the potential for confusion and disarray. * God's intervention at Babel was not merely to prevent construction but to protect humanity from advancing beyond His intended purpose for them. * Modern technological advancements, particularly in artificial intelligence and global connectivity, resonate with the ambitions exhibited at Babel, raising concerns about ethical governance and autonomy. * The discussion highlights the critical importance of integrating Christ into human progress to ensure that advancements do not lead humanity away from God's divine plan. * The Abrahamic Accords signify a potential precursor to global unity reminiscent of Babel, prompting believers to be vigilant about the implications of such movements. * Scott Wright emphasizes that true unity and peace cannot be achieved outside of God's will, underscoring the need for spiritual guidance amidst collective human endeavors.

The Trouble with Jesus Constance HastingsMany people struggle with believing in the salvation of Jesus due to misconceptions about biblical stories that seem contradictory or difficult to reconcile with our modern understanding. Stories like the resurrection, miraculous healings, or God’s timing in answering prayers can feel distant or implausible. These misunderstandings often stem from taking passages out of context or viewing Scripture through a purely literal or skeptical lens.
Our guest today has decided to take on these misconceptions – and she did so by writing a book about them. Amen!
Constance Hastings, an award-winning educator, mental health counselor, and ordained minister. Constance is the author of “The Trouble with Jesus: Considerations Before You Walk Away,” a thought-provoking book that addresses the doubts and barriers many face in their faith journey and helps to provide some of those answers people are seeking.
Whether you’re firm in your faith or questioning it, this episode is sure to inspire and encourage you.
With all of that being said, help me welcome to the program, Constance Hastings! Constance, it is a blessing to have you join us today! I have been looking forward to this conversation!
First question I always ask is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Constance Hastings?”
Can you share a pivotal moment in your journey where you struggled to reconcile doubt with belief?
What misconceptions about Jesus or biblical stories do you think most often hinder people from embracing faith?
You discuss barriers people place against God—what are some common ones, and how can they be overcome?
Why do you think Jesus’ life and message continue to be so controversial?
What do you hope readers take away about Jesus from the title The Trouble with Jesus?
How does the story of Mary and Martha help us understand God’s timing in our lives?
What do you say to someone who feels their life’s struggles are evidence of God’s absence?
I guess that leads me to my next question… What role does a person’s willingness to be vulnerable play in developing a deeper relationship with Jesus?
How can someone who may be in a place of deep skepticism, how can they take their first step toward discovering the answers they seek?
Constance, this has been so interesting. How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “The Trouble with Jesus: Considerations Before You Walk Away.” I take it is available on Amazon?
If someone has a question or would like to get more information, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, today we have had a great conversation. I love what Constance has shared with us about her book, “The Trouble with Jesus: Considerations Before You Walk Away.” Constance has shared some misconceptions about Jesus and some of the Biblical stories. She has provided some insight into situations where some may have skepticism, doubts and misconceptions about Jesus, the Bible and Salvation. I think, if you paid attention, she addressed these issues today. Praise God!
I want to recommend you drop down into the show notes and click the links right there to reach out to Constance. Check out her website, the blog… the blog is awesome – I did not have time to go into some of the articles there… but you need to check it out… Amen.
Be sure to order her book, “The Trouble with Jesus: Considerations Before You Walk Away.” This book is a great read and I highly recommend it as something that SOMEONE you know may enjoy as a Christmas present. Amen!

RED BALLOON Andrew Crapuchettes In 2021, in the midst of the “cancel culture” boom, many companies decided to waive the white flag of surrender and forsake the values, the Biblical morality and just accept the policies and mandates being forced upon them.
We had just began the process of coming out of COVID. We were trying to get the economy back. Many people just wanted to return to work. Then we have this wave of idiocy that says if you believe in Godly principles – you’re wrong. If you believe in traditional values – you’re wrong. If you believe anything except what “we say” – you’re wrong.
That type of attitude still exists today. Although they have had to “calm down” their rhetoric, the same corrupt mentality is still prevalent in many organizations as they push their “woke agenda” as far as they can.
Wouldn’t it be nice to work for an organization that you know, going in…that you know, when you apply…that you know, “this company” stands for what I believe in? Wouldn’t that be a good place to start when looking for a company to make a career change in your life?
Back in 2021, Andrew Crapuchettes (kra-puh-shets) thought so. But, how to find companies like that? That was the problem. But it’s not a problem anymore.
Andrew founded “RedBalloon” which has quickly become America’s largest…largest connector between employers and employees looking to prioritize a positive workplace culture that is FREE from the divisiveness of the cancel-culture mandates. Amen! Andrew is a frequent presenter at technology and business conferences and has been featured on Fox News, Fox Business, Newsweek, The New York Times and others.
Help me welcome to the program, Andrew Crapuchettes! Andrew, thank you for taking the time to join us today!
The first question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Andrew Crapuchettes?”
I guess the first question is, “Why?” Why did you form Red Balloon? What were you seeing that motivated you to do this?
You put right up front on your website, “What We Believe.” The very first statement is, “America was founded on the core principles of individual freedom and the personal responsibility necessary to maintain that freedom.” Amen! Praise God! Share with us your core values of Red Balloon…
What was the first rendition of Red Balloon like as compared to what you offer now?
When I was going through your website, I seen positions that ranged from accountants to truck drivers; from pre-K teachers to insurance agents…you have a very thorough and rounded out platform with literally thousands of different positions, correct?
Explain how your website works… for example, if I was looking for a job, what would I have to do?
As an employer, you share that 46% of all new hires are bad hires. Is it really almost half?
You have a chart on your website that says, “Companies that actively engage have a clear advantage verses companies that have low engagement.” What do you mean by that?
Andrew, this has been awesome. I believe you’re tapping into something that needs to happen. I believe the services you provide as a connector between like-minded believers that want to work for like-minded companies is awesome.
If someone wants more information, would like to ask a question, etc., how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, are you looking for a place to work, a place to establish roots, a place where you can find others that hold the same values and morals you do? A place where you don’t have to walk around on egg shells, worried you will offend someone if you say “Amen” or whatever?
If you’re an employer and you want to find people who believe in the value systems you’ve established in your business; you’re looking for like-minded folks who believe like you do…
I encourage you to drop down into the show notes and click the links right there. Get in touch with Andrew Crapuchettes (kra-puh-shets) right now… while you are thinking about this. Go to https://www.redballoon.work and check out the platform that Andrew and his team have put together. It could be the answer your prayers and the prayers of an employer looking for someone “just like you!” Amen!
Drop down into the show notes, click the links and check it out, right now. Redballoon.work. Amen!
Andrew, I saw a section on your front page that says, “It’s time to grow up and get back to work.” I think that pretty well sums up the feeling of most sane people right now. Amen.

Can We Find Donald Trump in the Bible? Dr. Richard Ruhling Dr. Richard Ruhling is a Bible Prophecy expert who predicted the war with Iraq BEFORE 9-11 even happened! How? By interpreting the Book of Daniel! Amen! He is retired medical doctor who also taught at Loma Linda University. He is a frequent guest on our program and I need you to help me welcome back to the podcast, Dr. Richard Ruhling.
Dr. Ruhling, it is a blessing to have you back with us today. I’ve been looking forward to hearing what you have to say about this important topic…
Let’s start with the most recent news… the second assassination attempt on Donald Trump. I know we talked before, after the first attempt, that the Bible says the “right ear” of the high priest will be anointed with blood… do you still see this as a significant sign? And what about the second attempt?
Let me ask you this… where, exactly, can we find Donald Trump in the Bible?
You mention Donald Trump’s image is actually engraved on an Israeli coin? When did that happen?
How could Donald Trump be like Cyrus?
I like the analogy of Trump’s name…and referenced in the Bible… things like “The Last Trump.” If he would have won his 2020 election, he would preparing to leave office right now – while everything in the Middle East is on fire, basically. But now, he is preparing to reenter the foray (so to speak)…and this will be his “last” time he could do so… so that equates to “The Last Trump” – at least from the stand point of the election.
You also have drawn references from Donald Trump’s campaign slogan of “Make America Great,” and how that flies in the face of global elites. How does that work as far as scripture is concerned?
You also see Trump possibly helping out, with what you call, a “second Exodus.” What does that mean and how do you see it happening?
I can’t let you go without bringing up the “Wedding Parable” again… you opened wanting to share a little bit about that…
Dr. Ruhling, this has been so interesting. How can someone reach out to you for more information?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.

Book: MegaQuake 2023” – on Amazon
Book: From Lockdown to Knockdown – The Fall of America”
The Next Elon Edan Mann Edan Mann, founder of “The Mann Team” and also known as the “Mann Acquisition Company,” is based in Switzerland… has been the main sales manager for several 8 figure companies, helping certain businesses go from $100K per month to over $500K per month.
At 15 years of age, he dropped out of school to become a full time entrepreneur. And guess what, he’s just 16 years old right now. So in a little over a year – he is already being touted as possibly becoming the youngest self-made BILLIONAIRE. Amen!
Edan Mann has been touted as the next “Elon Musk” many times. The Mann Team has created, managed and scaled multiple teams that have gone from “scratch” to over $500K per month in revenue.
But the underlying principle Edan Mann refuses to compromise on – he says, is his faith. His website even states, “We do not participate in ANY unethical industries – even if legally allowed. We value human morals and being a man of God more than any penny in the world. We will not promote something which we know would hurt someone else. That is not what we stand for as an organization and a company.”
To that, I say, “AMEN!” Help me welcome to the program, Edan Mann!
Edan, I do appreciate you taking the time to join us today!
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Edan Mann?”
How did you get started in this area of business?
How has your Faith shaped what you do?
Is it true you ran on just a couple hours sleep a night in your start up days?
What is the one thing you look for when onboarding a client? In other words, deciding to accept someone as a client?
When I was in the military, I had a saying that was, “The maximum effective range of an excuse is ZERO meters.” In other words, there are NO excuses… there may be a “reason” something is happening – but that is not an excuse.
I read you have about the same philosophy in that area saying, “Bring solutions, not excuses.” Is that correct?
Let’s go back to how you first started… you quit your job…what as the first thing you did after that? What was the first step on your path to success?
What type of person or company are you looking for? Surely this is not a “we take everyone” type of mentality, correct?
What do you have to say to our listeners right now who may be thinking, “I need to get in touch with this guy…”?
Edan, first, this is so fascinating. I see God’s hand all over what you are doing. Keep up the great work. Next, I know there will be some people out there that want to receive more information. They may have some questions, etc. How can someone get in touch with if they have any questions or would like more information?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, is Edan Mann truly going to be ‘The Next Elon Musk’? Only time will tell. But one thing is for certain: Edan’s relentless drive, visionary mindset, and ambitious goals have positioned him as a force to be reckoned with in the world of business. Whether he ultimately achieves billionaire status remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Edan Mann is a name that will be synonymous with innovation and success for years to come.
If you are motivated by anything Edan has shared today – I encourage you to drop down into the show notes and reach out to him. His information is right there. Just click the links and get in touch with Edan Mann. Find out if he is able to help YOU reach YOUR goals! You may even find out that your goals are not big enough! Amen!
Having a firm foundation in his Faith, he is determined to honor God in all that He does – and I think, no, I KNOW - that is one of the main reasons he is so blessed. Amen! Reach out to Edan and see if, by connecting with him and his team – this could become a “match made in Heaven” for you as well. Amen!

Doug Stebleton was on a few years back and we have maintained contact since then… I consider Doug a great friend and when I found out he has just published another amazing book…I just had to get him back on to tell us all about it. Amen!
This is book number two in the “Hollywood Time Travel” series, titled, “The Inventors.” I was just published on Amazon on August 28th of this year… amen. Book one is titled “It’s A Wonderful Time” and was published in 2021…and that book was absolutely amazing! I enjoyed it so much – I gave it out as Christmas gifts to family. Amen!

First question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Doug Stebleton?”
I know you autographed a copy of your first book in the “Hollywood Time Travel” series for my daughter – and she just loved it… as well as I. That book was just one of those books you can stop reading… I think I told you I read the entire book in like two days. I would work and when I took a break I’d pick up the book and read a couple more chapters, etc.
I’m an avid reader… I read upwards of 20 books a year… so that averages about 2 per month… but, like I said, that first book was finished in two days… maybe three, tops.
I can’t wait to read, “The Inventors…” - from what I understand, this is dealing with something that we are very familiar with today, wireless cell phones and Bluetooth technology… but, this is set in 1941. Can you share with us a little bit about your book?
This book also has your two main time traveling characters, Evan West and Dr. Cooper, from the first book. Is that right?
The first book was set in, if I remember correctly, 1946?
In the first book, a car accident launched Evan through a portal of sorts…
This book starts with a surprise…it appears they went “back in time” instead of forward in time from the end of the last book. Is that right?
Before we finish – I wanted to hear about your trip to Normandy and about the special edition book you wrote for the 80th anniversary of D-Day…
Briefly give our listeners on “The Mother of Normandy,” Simone Renaud and what she did…
As you know, I’ve had Pastor Joe Schimmel on a few times. The work that “Good Fight Ministries” does is so impactful… You are exposing the works of darkness in ways that, well those that operate in the dark does not appreciate. Amen! It is definitely shining THE LIGHT into the darkness of Hollywood and Marvel Comics and DC Comics, etc.
As we get ready to close… I did want you to share a little bit about “Good Fight Ministries.” What is the next big project that “Good Fight Ministries” is preparing for now?
Doug, if anyone has a question or would like to get in touch with you or Good Fight Ministries, how can they do that?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.

The Changing Interaction of God TS Wright In Malachi 3:6, it is written, “I Am the LORD, I change not…”
But yet, there are instances in the Bible where God did change how He interacts with His people. For example, God in the Old Testament seemed demanding; while Jesus portrayed God as merciful and loving…
That’s just one example…
To discuss this subject in more detail, our good friend Scott Wright is back. Scott has been teaching us about the different ages of the Church and significant things the Bible and history has to say about them. Amen.
So, help me welcome back, Scott Wright! Scott, it’s a blessing to have you back with us today…
Let’s jump right into this – Why does God say “I change not…” but yet it appears He changes how He interacts with His people…
I’m thinking of an instance where God told Jonah to go and preach in Ninevah because He was going to destroy that area in a few days…but then didn’t. That kind of upset Jonah, too, didn’t it?
If God repented of destroying Ninevah, is it possible He will repent about destroying the earth in the End Times, too? We can read all about that in Revelation 21…
But, how do we NOW that He won’t change His mind and keep everything going for another 2000 years?
Are there other instances where God changes how He interacts with His people?
I believe we are wrapping this thing up fairly quickly. In the natural, I’ll just use an example I’m familiar with – flying an airplane.
As a pilot, you’re taught to “stay ahead of the airplane” while you’re flying it. That means monitoring and be aware of your speed, altitude and attitude, especially when you are coming in for a landing or on takeoff.
Most crashes occur due to stalling…and if you are too focused on lining up with the runway or talking on the radio, you may be going to slow and haven’t dropped flaps yet for extra lift… and all of sudden, you flip and go into a spin…
At low altitude – you would not have time to react…and land, but it would not be a landing you could walk away from…
As it relates to the end times and how we wrapping all this up - and that God is going to play it out just as written…we are too far behind the plane to turn around the outcome. This whole thing is about to crash and crash hard…
Your thoughts?
As we get ready to wrap up, I’ll just leave with this thought – again from my flight training time. There was a saying that we were told, “Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing… and any landing where you can use the plane again is an excellent landing.”
I’ll just leave it at that…
How can someone get in touch with you if they have any questions or perhaps would like to do an interview such as this?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below…

3 Mistakes That Sabotage Company Culture Wayne Mullins Have you ever wondered why some companies seem to effortlessly reach their goals while others struggle - despite having all the right tools? The answer often lies in one of the most overlooked aspects of business success—company culture.

Amen!... But Wayne, for those that may have missed that, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Wayne Mullins?”
Last time, we did an overview of what you do and how you can help businesses and entrepreneurs…
Today, I wanted to focus on one of the most important aspects of running a successful business – and that is company culture.

How important is company culture in the success of a business?
What exactly makes up a successful company culture?
You list “3 Mistakes that Sabotage Your Company Culture.” Can you go over those three common mistakes for us?
What makes a company culture toxic?
If you are the business owner, and based on what you just shared, as an owner, how can we begin to make a successful culture change?
Is this something that needs to be done gradually? So no big changes – or is it better to just dive right in?
What about someone who works at one of these companies? How should they approach the boss or department head about implementing changes?
Wayne, this is so interesting. Do you go over any of this information in your book, “Full Circle Marketing?”
How can you help business owners in making a positive change in company culture?
Tell us about your book a little bit…
How can someone order a copy of your book, “Full Circle Marketing?” I take it is on Amazon?

How it All Ends Richard Ruhling If you have been listening to us for awhile now, you know we are living in the “last of the last days.” Everything is lining up just the way Jesus said it would. Only a complete fool would deny that…and there are plenty of them out there. Amen!
God is about to release Jesus to come back to the earth! Amen! If we compare this to foot race, Jesus is about to cross the finish line! What does this mean to us? Well, for those that are born again – we get to celebrate WITH HIM. Amen!
For those that are not born again – when I was growing up, there was a TV show called, “Wide World of Sports” and they had a slogan, “The thrill of victory” (that’s what we will be celebrating with Jesus) and then they would continue, “and the agony of defeat.”
For the majority of the world… when Jesus crosses the finish line – that is what they will be experiencing… “the agony” of defeat. Not just a temporary agony until “the next race.” No. This is the “last race” for all time… and if they are not crossing the line WITH JESUS – the “agony of defeat” they will experience will be – forever.
Our guest today is our longtime friend, Dr. Richard Ruhling. He has been on numerous times discussing end-time scenarios. He is the author of several great books which we have interviewed him on before. Books such as “Wake Up America,” “America is Gone,” “The Bridegroom Cometh” and others. He has authored “How it All Ends,” which we will be discussing today.
Help me welcome back, Dr. Richard Ruhling! Dr. Ruhling, it is a blessing to have you back with us today!
When we share about the “soon return of Jesus” and the end-time scenarios and then compare all of that with what we see happening around us, many people just scoff at it. They will say things like, “It’s always been that way” or “That’s just a coincidence…” You shared that Einstein once said, “Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous.” I believe that is a great way of looking at it today… don’t you agree?
What are your thoughts on what is happening in the Middle East, especially in regards to Iran threatening retaliation against Israel?
Dr. Ruhling shares similarities between “the ram caught in the bush” and “George Bush” and also what will happen “at the LAST Trump” and that, if Trump wins this election, it is his “last term” – and how all that relates to what the Bible says will happen in the last days.
Dr. Ruhling, this has been so interesting. I love it when you always come on and catch us up on things like this. How can someone get in touch with you if they have any questions – and how can they obtain a copy of your book, “How it All Ends?”
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, as we said in the beginning… and as Dr. Ruhling has shared, it is close… the “soon return of Jesus” is closer now than it has ever been…
Only a fool would say otherwise…and we know there are many naysayers around who are foolish enough to deny it.
Which is why it is so important for YOU to take action before that day comes! It will be a Glorious day for some… but not for everyone.
If your loved ones, coworkers, friends, neighbors – if they are not born again – this could be one of the last opportunities you will ever have of ushering them into the Kingdom of God.
Get in touch with Dr. Ruhling and request a copy of his book, “How it All Ends.” Just drop down into the show notes and click the links right there. Amen!

IBUYSTL Bobby Kough Sometimes, things will happen in life that causes us to have to pack up and move… I know…in my 12 years in the military, our family moved 13 times… between training assignments and deployments, etc. In what is now over 46 years of marriage, my wife and have moved 19 times. So we know what it is like when you need to sell a home, quickly and easily – or as easily and as quickly as possible – and move…Amen.
For some others, it could be having to sell a home after their parents pass on…for others, it could be through a divorce, etc.
The point being, when you need to sell, in some circumstance, it is not feasible to do repairs, set up the staging of the house – allowing strangers to come walking through (and realtors wanting you OUT of the house before they bring these strangers through), etc.
But, that is the “traditional” route that a lot of people think they have to take…
Not anymore…our guest today is Robert Kough, who will be offering you an alternate solution…
Originally from Rancho Cucamonga, California, Robert Kough now resides in the St. Louis, MO area. He is a 2015 graduate of the US Army Military Academy at West Point and played as a defensive lineman with the Black Knights… with 79 career tackles… Praise God!
He served as an Engineer Officer for five years. After military service, he moved into a passion that he had been holding onto for his last year or so he was in the Army – Real Estate.
The Lord had him connect with a fellow West Point graduate, Jimmy Vreeland and together, they have built a hugely successful company, IBuySTL (or St. Louis). Together, they have grown this company to one of the major players in the St. Louis housing market.
IBuySTL provides options to sellers outside of the traditional way of selling a home, where the seller completes repairs prior to selling.
Working with IBuySTL, they will purchase your house “as-is” and offer creative solutions to alleviate many of the stressors that often come with selling a home. So far, they have built a turnkey portfolio of more than 800 houses! IBuySTL has been recognized as one of the top buyers of houses in St. Louis and the surrounding areas. Amen!
Help me welcome to the program, Bobby Kough! Bobby, it is a blessing to have you with us today, brother!
First question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Bobby Kough?”
Were you a believer before going to West Point?
From what I understand, you lost your father while at West Point, correct?
Was that in your Plebe year? What were the ramifications of that loss for you at West Point? Did they give you family leave time or did you have to withdraw… I’m just curious as to how that worked out…
You returned and had a massive success on the football field. I live in the Baltimore / Annapolis area of Maryland and, naturally, everything here is “Go Navy.” I’m in the minority when I shout out “GO ARMY!” In fact, my son-in-law is a Navy Academy graduate and was a Marine Corps officer… but, I let my Cavalry Officer time shine through…I’ve got Cav yard signs, etc…just to rub it in…
Share with us one of the most memorable moments you experienced on the football field…
When did you realize you wanted to leave the military and begin your civilian career?
Why real estate? What motivated you go down this path?
How did you meet up with Jimmy Vreeland?
Share with us how you are able to help homeowners looking to sell their homes in the St. Louis area?
Your company is an “investment company” and not a real estate company, correct?
So if someone inherited a house from their parents, or whatever, and they want to sell… you can jump in and help them take care of this fairly quickly?
What if someone has a home and they are still under a mortgage? Maybe they have had it for 8-10 years and need to relocate because of work or something like that. Obviously, they want to get as much out of it as they can so they can purchase another house in their new location… How does it this work for someone in that type of situation?
Do you operate in any areas outside of the St. Louis area?
Bobby, this is so interesting… I never thought of the this before in the light you are sharing with us. If someone has a question or would like to reach out to you, maybe even to do an interview such as this…how can they do that? How can someone get more information?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, if you are in the St. Louis, MO area and looking to sell your home in ANY condition, whether a total “fixer upper” or in perfect condition, you need to contact Bobby Kough at IBuySTL… there is no easier way to sell. Amen!
Just drop down into the show notes, click the links right there and reach out to Bobby Kough and the team at IBUYSTL. Amen!

When Hope Comes Donna Aust One of my favorite things to do is study some of the characters of the Bible. You can learn so much by just taking the time to study… and the contemplate…actually pause and try to put yourself in the position of who you are reading about. What would your reactions be? What would you have said in a particular situation? How would you have reacted to people sharing the Gospel with YOU in Biblical times.
I’ve researched and preached on many characters in the Bible by doing just that. Those are some of my most requested sermons as well.
I said all that to lay the ground work for what you are going to be hearing from our guest today. Donna Aust is the founder of Donna Aust Ministries and she is also the author of a great book, “When Hope Comes – Discovering God’s Character and Our True Identity Through the Book of Ruth.”
In this book, you will meet Ruth. You will experience the tragedy and hard choices they had to make. You will be with them as they go through some the darkest times imaginable, personally and for the nation of Israel as well. But, you will also see how God uses this “non-Jewish” woman in a unique way… to usher in the birth of our Savior… Jesus. Amen!
I can’t wait… help me welcome to the program, Donna Aust! Donna, it is a blessing to have you with us today. I can’t tell you how much I’ve been looking forward to today’s interview.
Before we get started though, the first question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Donna Aust?”
Let me ask you, WHY did you write this book about Ruth?
What was it about Ruth’s story that resonated with you the most?
Ruth was a Moabite, historically, they were enemies of Israel. But times were hard and Naomi and her husband and sons decided to be like Jacob and go where the food was… in this case, Moab. But tragedy struck and the men died. This seems like it should be the end of the story… but this young woman decided that SHE would live as an Israelite – in Israel. Forsaking her past and staying with her mother-in-law. God used that Faith to usher in the birth of Jesus.
But, some people say she acted improperly by going to the threshing floor and making an intimate advance on Boaz (even though she was following Naomi’s instructions). Basically, she was ASKING Boaz to fulfill the Jewish tradition of being a “kinsman-redeemer.” How did you cover this in your book?
Another thing I would like to bring out is the two different kinds of attitudes we see demonstrated. Naomi is bitter, “Don’t call me Naomi, call me Mara because the Lord has made my life bitter” in Ruth 1:20-21… compared to the faith of Ruth who acted in unwavering loyalty and faithfulness to Naomi’s instructions.
Did you highlight these two differences in your book?
Like I said in the beginning, I like to look at things, not from the perspective of “the spiritual acts” that I’m reading – but how “I WOULD HAVE” reacted without the foreknowledge that we have by reading about what happened.
For example, when Paul was stoned to death and left on the side of the road… he was dead. Which means he was in the presence of Jesus. But, his disciples were praying, releasing their Faith to raise him from the dead. I imagined myself there… in the presence of Jesus – enjoying Heaven… and then Jesus says, “You have to go back – they’re praying for you to revive and I have to honor their Faith.” I’d be like, “NO!” And then, BAM – I’m back in my body on earth… I don’t know about anybody else… but I believe Brother Bob would’ve come up SWINGING… “Why did you do that?”
But… I digress… I’m just making the point that, in order fully comprehend that these were NORMAL, everyday people and not some “holier than thou – you sinner” type of people… these were NORMAL people that God used in extraordinary ways. Amen!
I love this book, “When Hope Comes – Discovering God’s Character and Our True Identity Through the Book of Ruth,” and what you’ve shared about Ruth. What is the major takeaway you would like the readers of your book to receive?
Is there anything else you’d like to share with us about this book before we get ready to close?
How can someone order a copy of your book? Is it on Amazon?
Donna, this has been so interesting. If someone has a question or would like more information on how to get in touch with you, maybe even to do an interview such as this – how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, this book is great…You need to drop down into the show notes and order your own copy of Donna Aust’s book, “When Hope Comes – Discovering God’s Character and Our True Identity Through the Book of Ruth.” In fact, I’d recommend you order two or three of them and share them with your friends. Maybe start a book club or something. This is information that needs to get out there. You never know WHO will be blessed when you share this book with those you know. Purchase a couple and put them in your church library. Amen!

Breaking Up with the Enemy Mike Manuel Part 2Are you ready to break free from the unseen chains holding you back? Today, we going to dive into the power of deliverance – setting people free from the grip of the devil and his fallen angels. Whether it's freeing non-believers from possession or helping believers overcome demonic oppression, Pastor Mike Manuel is the expert in this area…and he is going to share with us the truth about these types of spiritual battles. Learn how deception can impact your life and discover how to reclaim your peace, hope, and joy.
Pastor Mike Manuel is an ordained pastor with the Assemblies of God. He is a published author, an international speaker and a deliverance minister serving the Lord Jesus. Amen! He has helped hundreds of people to be transformed emotionally, physically and spiritually by the Supernatural Power of the Living God. Amen!
Pastor Mike is the author of two books, “Torn: Embracing the New Covenant in an Old Covenant World” and his latest book, “Breaking Up with the Enemy: How to Defeat the Devil’s Deceit and Reclaim Peace, Hope and Joy.”
Help me welcome to the program, Pastor Mike Manuel.
This is part two to a great onversation with Pastor Mike Manuel!
I think one of the problems is that many believers think they can just recite one or two scripture verses and they are like some “magic incantations” that make the devil run away. But Jesus clearly says the Word has to be in your heart. “Out of the ABUNDANCE of the heart, the mouth speaks.” That does not mean “memorized in your head.” But an abundance in your heart…am I correct in that assumption?
Let’s shift to your book, “Breaking Up with the Enemy.” Why did you write this book and why publish now?
In your book, “Breaking Up with the Enemy,” you actually go through some practical steps that will help people “close the doors” to the areas they have possibly left open for the devil to wreak havoc in their lives.
Can you give us a few more examples from your book?
How can someone order a copy of your book? Is it on Amazon?
You not only do services at churches, you also will hold events in hotel conference rooms and special events, etc. correct?
If you could summarize it for us, what is the number one thing you would like your readers to take away from reading this book?
Is there anything you’d like to share with our listeners today that we have not already covered?
Pastor Mike, this has been so interesting. I could talk to you about this for hours. Praise God for you and your anointing in this ministry.
If someone has a question or would like more information, or they would like to have you on an interview like this - how can the get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, this type of Spiritual warfare is not for the faint of heart…but believers need to be the “front line troops” in handling anything that pops its ugly head up in your area of operations. Amen!
There are times in the military where the front line troops are encountering something that requires the Special Ops people to come in and handle. That is where Pastor Mike Manuel and his Deliverance Ministry comes in. Amen!
Although it is rare, this type of demonic oppression does occur. If that is happening, Pastor Mike is your call to the Special Forces. Amen!

Pastor Mike, it is a blessing to finally have you on the program, brother! I’ve been looking forward to our conversation today!
First question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Pastor Mike Manuel?”
How did you get started in this deliverance ministry? What was that first discussion with the Holy Spirit like when He planted this into your heart?
Let me ask you… if the devil was defeated (and he was) by Jesus on the Cross – why are Christians still having to deal with him today?
Sometimes, I know believers will unknowingly allow evil into their life. Whether watching something on TV or at the movies that allows evil to enter their mind and take up residence. Can you give us some examples of things Christians do that gets then unwittingly entangled within the devil’s snare…

What Did Jesus Say? Terry Christian Born with a stuttering problem in a dysfunctional family, Terry Christian was ridiculed and mocked for most of his young life…
At the age of 23, he had a near death experience and was told in a dream that, one day, he would be a teacher for Jesus… but, just like Mose, he questioned “how” because of his stuttering problem…
Soon after, he was hired by the Dale Carnegie Organization and trained in sales and public speaking. It was here, he met someone who taught him how to visually read… so he was soon devouring as many books as he could find – mainly on the subject of personal growth. Amen!
At the age of 30, he became a motivational speaker and an executive trainer. He would go on to give more than 2500 presentations across America and Canada.
Terry Christian has since retired as the Holy Spirit redirected his life. He is now in the missions ministry, his ministry is called, “Foundations for Life,” and he based in Jamaica. He is also the author of a very special, unique book, titled, “What Did Jesus Say: The Seven Messages from the Master.” This book uses ONLY the spoken words of Jesus… commonly referred to as the “red letters” of the Bible. No commentary. No extra explanations… he just allows Jesus to do the talking. Amen!
One more thing… he walks the walk as well as talks the talk. Back in 2010, he was diagnosed with bladder cancer and given only a few years to live. He created his own “healing sabbatical” and, after fasting and praying for 21 days and walking on the beach in Jamaica, he returned to the doctor and was declared cancer free! Glory to God! And he remains cancer free to this day. Amen!
Having said all that, I have been looking forward to today’s interview – as Terry has some special information that you will want to hear…this is something that may not be for everyone… but I can almost guarantee – “somebody out there somewhere” listening to us right now is going to resonate with what he will be sharing. Amen!
So grab a pen and paper… and help me welcome back to the program, our good friend and brother, Terry Christian. Terry, it is so good to have you come back on and I’m looking forward to what you will be sharing in a little bit… amen!
First, let’s start with the first question I always start with… other than the brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Terry Christian?”
Your book, “What Did Jesus Say,” can you share a little bit more than what I shared in the opening…
It is only available on your website right now, correct?
That brings us to the point of today’s interview… you are embarking on an ambitious – but very doable and very beneficial marketing plan. It is similar to a “Go Fund Me” project – but one that BLESSES every person who supports it… It is called Marketing Fund: 2024… can you share with us about this program…how it works…how it will bless all that get involved?
This is not one of those pyramid schemes…but it is going to be used to “Get the Word Out” about your book and bless those that help you to be a blessing through the book sales, correct?
Give us the time frame outline again…
Terry, this sounds so interesting… as I said in our private conversations – which is why I wanted to get you on the program so you could share all about it in detail with our listeners.
If someone has a question (which I’m sure they do), how can they find out more information or get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, I’ve known Terry Christian for a couple of years now. I can tell you, we have had some great, interesting conversations about serving the Lord in that time. I can also tell you that I believe his plan, the Marketing Fund 2024 which he just explained – I think this would be a huge blessing to many of you…
Think about it…
You’re getting seed in the ground…
The Word of God is being distributed around the world through these book sales, etc…
You receive part of the harvest of souls… for sure… amen! That’s the important thing… amen!
But you will also receive part of the financial harvest based upon the level of seed you plant…Praise God! I love this idea. Amen!
Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Terry Christian right now. Click the links… ask your questions… read the information on the website – and, most importantly – as the Lord leads – GET INVOLVED! Praise God!
Terry, thank you for taking the time to come on the program and share all about your book, “What Did Jesus Say: The Seven Messages from the Master” and for sharing all about this great and unique opportunity, Marketing Fund: 2024.
Now, Pastor Bob is going to add BONUS to this package…I did not intend to do this… but I believe this will be a big blessing to you and to Terry also…
I will provide the following for every person who joins Terry’s Marketing Fund 2024 between now and November 30th… are you ready… I have the ability to give you a 4 day and 3 night hotel stay in sunny ORLANDO, FLORIDA. That’s right… if you join Terry’s program between NOW, the time you hear this… and November 30th 2024… Brother Bob will send you a hotel certificate that will get you 4 days and 3 nights in a 4 or 5 star hotel in Orlando… Amen… Now… the arrangement I have with a different ministry partner… this covers the hotel ONLY. You are still responsible for getting yourself there, your food, the taxes and the resort fees. Amen! This is only going to cover the hotel room itself. Glory to God.

Accountability In Your Daily Life Robert HuntToday, we are going to be talking about “Accountability,” especially in the life of a believer who is operating in a secular work environment. That could be in a corporate job or self-employed. You could be the CEO of a major corporation or an “online entrepreneur. Accountability will make sure you “get the job done.” Amen.
My guest today is here to help us understand exactly that! Amen!
Robert Hunt is business owner and forum leader and Executive Coach of the “Renaissance Executive Forum Dallas (or REF DFW). He has been in Marketing and Sales most of his career,but in 2013, he decided to transition his focus into helpingbusiness owners and CEO’s by taking part in monthly “peer to peer to peer” advisory groups for CEOs and business owners.
As a Christian, he wants to live his life following Christ, help others and have fun along the way. Amen!
He is also the author of the book, “Nobody Cares Until You Do.”
Help me welcome to the program, Robert J. Hunt! Robert, thank you for taking the time to join us today!
First question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Robert J. Hunt?”
I notice one of the first things you share is “Nobody can hold anybody accountable.” As an accountability coach, can you explain what it is you mean by that statement?
Managing a business is hard. There are so many external factors that someone has no control over (i.e. “the economy”) – but then, there are things that they DO have control over…
Do you find that a lot of people, especially in business, try to “shift the blame instead of accepting the blame” when it comes to problems that arise in their business?
What about owners who want to be “micro-managers?” Those who want to delegate tasks, but then want to be involved in every detail of the assigned tasks?
When someone comes to you for help or to join your group, do you find that a lot of them are just “overloaded” and stressed out – seeking some sort of help?
You share that “living out your Faith is great for your mental health.” Share how that is true…
As a Christian CEO, how should we balance “grace with accountability” in the area of discipline and possibly having to let someone go (i.e. terminate their employment)?
You have a list of the “Top Five Things Great CEO’s Do.” Can you share that list with us?
-
Always learning
-
Make decisions
-
Own the decision (accountability)
-
Intentional to invest in their teams
-
Drive results
What about sharing our Faith in the workplace. Obviously, there IS work to do… but how do you recommend leaders should do this?
Tell us about your book, “Nobody Cares Until You Do.”
Can you tell us about your coaching / accountability organization?
Robert, this has been so fascinating. If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question, etc., how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I take it your book, “Nobody Cares Until You Do,” is on Amazon?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, accountability means more than “being accountable” for our actions. It means being accountable to God. Being accountable to our co-workers. Being accountable to our spouse and family. But, as you have heard, being more accountable for ourselves. Amen!

Turning Fear Into Freedom Dorothy Cook Fear… for some, it will paralyze you. For others, it motivates you. For still others, it’s another obstacle blocking your progress. But for every one of us – it is always there. In some form or fashion.
If this sounds like you, I want you to pay very close attention to our guest today. I want you to imagine what it would be like to wake up refreshed instead of exhausted; having joy to face the day instead of dreading another day. No longer overwhelmed by the “little things” that always seem to drag you down. Excited to face the day instead of wishing the day would end.
If thoughts like that resonate with you, then you will definitely be blessed by our guest today. Amen!
Dorothy Cook has been a certified John Maxwell Coach, Trainer and Speaker for over ten years. She has coached top executives, helping them to establish a strong identity and improve their work / life balance, helping them to reduce their stress, burnout and relationship problems. She is a also a family therapist with over 30 years of experience in dealing with marital and family issues. She is also an ordained minister of the Gospel and the author of a great book that shot her into the “International Best Selling Author” status in 2024. The book is titled, “Grow Your Authority.”
I know she is going to be imparting some great nuggets of wisdom for us today… amen!
Help me welcome to the program, Dorothy Cook! Dorothy, it is so good to have you join us today. I do appreciate it!
First question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Dorothy Cook?”
How did all of this impact your life and how did you discover the methods you teach about stress reduction?
You share that 90%+ of all health issues are stress related. I’ve heard about stress causing heart attacks and high blood pressure. But what are some other health issues stress can cause?
Can you share with us how the limbic system works with the fight or flight response? How does all of this impact our daily lives, just not those few “high stress” situations that the “fight or flight” response was designed for?
Is there a tool or a way that the average person can say, “Wait a minute… let me reduce this stressor that is impacting me right now?”
So, if what I’m understanding is correct, you are saying there are ways to actually “re-wire” our brains neurological pathways?
How did you discover this system?
Let’s talk about your book for a minute, “Grow Your Authority.” Why did you write this book and why publish it now?
“Grow Your Authority” is the title, do you go into any of these de-stressing techniques that we just talked about?
Can you give us a few more tips on stress management techniques that you help folks with in your coaching program?
Dorothy, this has been so interesting. If someone has a question or would like to receive more information, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
Your book, “Grow Your Authority,” how can someone obtain a copy of your book? Is it on Amazon?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, as we said in the beginning, stress is a killer. Stress not only takes the joy out of your life, but it will take your life as well.
You need to get in touch with Dorothy Cook right now… while you are thinking about this. Ask your questions, see how she can help you to overcome these stressors that are holding you back. Many times in life, it takes someone from the “outside” looking in to see what is actually going on. Dorothy has the training, the knowledge and the experience to do just that – for you! Amen!
Drop down into the show notes and click the links right there. Get in touch with Dorothy. Check out her coaching program to see if you would be a good fit and how quickly she can help you take back control of YOUR life. Amen!
And be sure to click the link to order her book, “Grow Your Authority.” If fact, order a couple of copies and pass one or two out to your friends that you know could use this information as well. Maybe you could even start your own little book club to help each other by using Dorothy’s book. Amen!

WHY BLOOD? Scott Wright Anyone who has studied the Bible at all is very familiar with “ten plagues” that Moses called down on Egypt. These plagues are what convinced the Pharaoh to release the Israelites. The very first plague was turning the Nile River into a river of blood. Why Blood?
That is what we will be discussing today with our good friend, Scott Wright. Scott is back today and is bringing his wealth of knowledge and insight into this profound topic. Scott’s ministry offers interpretations that span history, theology, and prophecy. Every time he comes on – I know I learn a lot and I know that you do as well… amen!
Having said all of that, help me welcome back to the program, Scott Wright! Scott, welcome back!
So, WHY would God want to turn the Nile River into blood? I mean, “Why BLOOD?”
I’ve seen a “red tide” of algae before… that basically chokes out the oxygen in the water. Then the fish die and start washing up on the shore, etc. Is this what happened to the Nile… let’s just say, “in the natural?” Maybe the people of that area “thought” it was blood because of the color?
I’ve seen reports that some “experts” said all of this was just a natural occurrence of cascading events…
-
The red algae looks like blood and lowers the oxygen content.
-
Frogs leave the water.
-
Dead fish and now dead frogs bring the flies.
-
The flies bring the lice.
-
The they now affect the livestock.
-
People are affected, bitten which cause boils.
-
A huge thunderstorm hits the area with hail, etc.
-
The locusts are blown in on the wind.
-
Possible volcanic eruption blows ash into the atmosphere, blocking the sun…
-
The young, new born babies are affected by the small dust particles which causes them to have trouble breathing…and since they were all affected over the same time period (while the dust cloud blocked the sun), they all died at the same time…
But all of this DID NOT affect the Israelites!
How does all of this relate to or point to Christ?
How does all of this relate to the “End Times” in which we now are on the precipice of entering?
Scott, this is so interesting. As usual, we are up against the clock. If someone has a question or would like to reach out to you for more information – or maybe do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put that information in the show notes below.
Folks, the “Ten Plagues” as recorded in the Bible DID happen. There is no doubt about that. Were they a “natural occurrence” with no input from God? I doubt it…
God could have – and did - use nature to bring these events into play. But WHY?
The Bible is very clear on that answer – to FORCE Pharoah to “Let God’s people go.”
Not just let them go – but pay them 400 years of back wages, too! Amen!
Drop down into the show notes, click the links right there and get in touch with Scott Wright. Let him know you appreciate this information he shares. Amen!

A Forgotten Door Called Home Rev. Cheryl Kincaid part twoRev. Cheryl Kincaid is a Presbyterian minister with over twenty years of experience in ministry and marriage and family therapy. She is also the author of four books and is an expert on domestic violence in the family. She is the Head of Staff at the Calvary Presbyterian Church in Enfield, Connecticut.
This is part two to a great conversation with Rev. Cheryl Kincaid!
You wrote a book titled, “Karrie’s Thorn” with a follow on book titled, “A Forgotten Door Called Home.” Why did you write this books and who is the audience they are written for?
Do a lot of women have problems taking these situations to the church leadership?
I understand you have a new release coming out soon. A new book titled, “Please Don’t Move My Grandma’s Chair.” Can you share a little about this book?
Is this written for children or for anyone who is going through grief?
It is scheduled to be released in September? Is there a pre-order form that is up yet?
I take all of your books are on Amazon?
Cheryl, this is all so interesting. If someone has a question or would like to reach out to you to possibly do an interview such as this, how can someone do that? How can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, it is no secret that the devil is working overtime in the day and time we live today. Abuse is rampant. But it does not have to be that way. If you or someone you care about is a victim of abuse – these books may just give them the inspiration to “trust God” for the next step. Amen!
I urge you, drop down into the show notes below and reach out to Rev. Cheryl Kincaid and be sure to click the links right there to go to her website or to Amazon and order your own copies of these books. In fact, order two or three copies and pass them out. Put them in the church library and make them available, perhaps to the woman’s ministry, etc. Take a step of Faith and take action. God is having you listen to this program today for a reason. Amen!

First question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Cheryl Kincaid?”
You few up in an abusive home, correct?
That also carried over into your adult life, right?
From what I understand, you were an avid reader as a child and one of the books you loved was Charles Dickens, “A Christmas Carol.” You gained some unique inspiration from reading Charles Dickens books, correct?
In fact, you won the 2013 Independent Christian Publishers Illumination Award of Bible Study, correct?
Let’s shift gears a little bit. How did you get involved with helping victims of domestic abuse?
I know your second book is titled, “The Little Clay Pot” and is based on Jeremiah 18 about being “molded” into the person God wants us to be. That is a children’s book but can you share who that book is written for?
But how can women escape the abusive relationships when, many times, they are unprepared for living on their own… I know that is one of the big things the abusers use to control them, isn’t it?

Be Eternal Jimmy Spikes Benjamin Franklin once said, “…nothing in this world is certain except death and taxes.” And that is just as valid today as it was over 200 years ago. Amen!
The other sure thing is, when a loved one dies, all that is left is the memory in the minds of their family and friends.
If you have ever gone through the loss of a loved one, especially a parent, grandparent, etc., I’m sure you’ve had the hard time of going through their possessions. Who should get what; what to do with this-that-and the other things, etc.
But one of the most troubling things for me, was going through the old picture books and, even worse, those shoe boxes full of pictures.
Some of them we were able to identify the people, places, etc. But for most of them, we have no clue. None.
“Who is that?”
“Where was that taken?”
“When did that happen?”
I know for me, now that I’m at that age where my grandkids are getting ready to have kids… My wife and I go through some old boxes or something and we find these shoe boxes that WE have just been storing… and the thought of “How can I pass along our legacy to our grandkids and to great-grandkids we don’t have yet?”
In addition to those pictures, what about the “life lessons” that we have learned? Little “tid-bits” of wisdom that were passed down to us from OUR Grandparents – the great-great-grandparents of our grandkids?
Well, that is where our guest comes in today!
Jimmy Spikes is the founder of of “beEternal.life” and they will help you to create a lasting legacy by helping you to save and assign ALL of your digital media and data to others for when that time comes that you are no longer able to do so.
To learn more about this important service, help me welcome to the program, Jimmy Spikes! Jimmy, it is a blessing to have you on the program and share all about this important service you provide for a “lasting legacy.” Amen!
Why did you decide to start “beEternal?”
How do you collect the “tid-bits” of wisdom for us to pass down?
What is included in your services?
For many of us, it’s sometimes hard to write down or remember all of the things we would love to share with our kids and grandkids. Is there a way that you help to “jog our memory” in certain areas that we may not know about?
How does our loved ones access this information after we move on to Heaven?
Is there a permanent or physical record made of this information, like a book or anything? Or CAN it put into book form?
Jimmy, this is all so interesting. If someone has a question or would like more information, how can they reach out to you or get in touch?
I’ll put all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, we are living on limited time. Our spirits will live forever… but we will not be present in this current world to give encouragement, wisdom and guidance to those who are left as we make our transition to Heaven before them.
You need to check out all that beEternal.life has to offer. It is inexpensive in cost – but priceless sin value. Go to the website by clicking the link in the show notes below or go to beEternal.life right now. Amen!

The Two Witnesses TS Wright Revelation 11 has captivated theologians and believers alike for centuries, painting a vivid picture of two prophetic figures endowed with extraordinary powers. These witnesses are said to prophesy for 1,260 days, performing miracles, and standing as a beacon of God's truth amidst the turmoil of the end times. But who are these mysterious individuals? Are they historical figures reborn, symbolic representations, or future prophets yet to come?
To discuss this, we have our great friend, Scott Wright back with us today. Scott brings a wealth of knowledge and insight into this profound topic, offering interpretations that span history, theology, and prophecy. Every time he comes on – I know I learn a lot and I know that you do as well… amen!
He is coming back on to discuss “who are these witnesses” as well as current events that we are seeing, right now, and how it all relates to what the Bible says will be happening in the last days – just before Jesus returns. Scott is the author of the “God Centered Concept Journal” and has a unique insight into prophecy and the end times.
Help me welcome back to the program, Scott Wright! Scott, it’s great to have you back with us today!
Let’s jump right into it: I know some have said it’s Elijah or Moses or Enoch – the only ones that have not “tasted death.” But the big question is, “Who are these guys?”
What is so significant about them?
Why are they sent during the “Great Tribulation” and not before… like now? We sure could use their message now, in the current events taking place…
Where is the “Church” while they are doing their thing while the Tribulation is happening?
Tell us about them “Breathing fire…” that we talked about prior to the recording…
Scott, this is so interesting. As usual, we are up against the clock. If someone has a question or would like to reach out to you for more information – or maybe do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put that information in the show notes below.
Folks, the quick thing to take away is – don’t wait for the appearance of these two great witnesses… if you wait that long, it is NOT going to be “good times” in the earth. They are there for a specific reason – one last call to the lost. But the hearts will be hardened, the ears will be stopped and hardly anyone will heed the call…
You have a chance right now to make sure you have your “ticket punched” for the first boatload out of here… amen! Take advantage of it right now…
In fact, Scott, if you would – if someone is ready to make that decision now, right now, would you lead them in a word of prayer where they can accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior – right now?
Drop down into the show notes, click the links right there and get in touch with Scott Wright. Let him know you prayed that prayer. Amen!

Logan's journey and mission are a beacon of hope for those battling these often silent but deeply impactful struggles. Through his dedication and experience, Logan has helped many find the strength and support needed to break free from the grip of addiction.
The Prodigals of Alaska is a “Christ Centered 12 Step Recovery and Coaching Program for Sexual Addiction.”
Today, Logan will share his insights, his personal stories, and the transformative work being done by his organization up in Alaska that is helping a lot of individuals reclaim their lives.
If you or someone you care about is facing the challenge of sexual or porn addiction, this conversation could be the turning point you've been searching for. Join us as we explore the paths to recovery, resilience, and a renewed purpose. Get ready to be inspired and encouraged—freedom and healing are within reach.
Help me welcome to the program Logan Hufford! Logan, it’s a blessing to be talking with you today. I do appreciate your time!
This is part two to a great conversation with Logan Hufford!
Can you give us a general definition of what sexual addiction is?
Are a lot of the people you help in a state of “denial?” Maybe they are being forced to come to you by their spouse or pastor, etc?
Speaking of pastors… how rampant is this in the clergy and ministries?
I saw a report one time that the use of pornography channels at hotels spikes when a ministers conference comes to town… it’s been several years since I first saw that report. But have you heard the similar things?
Do you only work with men? Women can have sexual addictions as well, correct?
What about spouses? Do you have something like Al Anon or something similar for the spouses of those in a sexual addiction?
Does this program offer formal counseling?
Does this program satisfy the requirements if someone has been ordered by a court to seek help for whatever reason?
How many “branches” for lack of a better term, do you have in Alaska and are you looking to expand it the lower 48 states?
Logan, this is all so interesting and the work you are doing is absolutely needful for the day and time in which we live. I mean, references to porn, etc. are all over the place. You can watch a television commercial without there being some reference to sex and alcohol or both…and how much “fun” you’ll have, etc.
If someone would like more information or they may have a question for you, how can someone reach out to you and get in touch?
As we wrap up this enlightening conversation with Logan Hufford, we hope you’ve found a spark of hope and a path to freedom. Logan’s dedication to helping those battling sexual and porn addiction is truly inspiring. Remember, no struggle is too great to overcome, and no one needs to walk this journey alone.
With the support of Logan and the "Prodigals of Alaska" team, and faith in God’s promise that "with God all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26), you can achieve healing and freedom. Reach out today and take that courageous step towards a life of fulfillment and peace.

Wealthy Wisdom Brandon Neely What is wealth?
For many people, it all revolves around money… but it goes much deeper than that. Wealth can mean different things to different people and mean different things to the same people at different times.
We often view wealth as simply “money.” Although that is a very large part of it – wealth is actually an “all encompassing” word that includes money – but it also includes our state of mind, peace of mind and happiness.
I know some folks would say, “Money, lots of money, would do all of those for me…” I tend to agree on some level – but I’ve also seen situations where “lots of money” has actually ruined people, families and lives.
To help us explain a lot of this in ways that make it easier for us to understand, our guest today has a comprehensive background that began in the Marine Corps, opening his own coffee shop and transitioned into his own business model of helping others to achieve financial success,
Brandon Neely and his wife, Amanda, founded “Wealth Wisdom Financial,” and have developed their own, unique program called, “The Still Method.”
To discuss this and more, help me welcome to the program, Brandon Neely! Brandon, it is a blessing to have you on the program today!
The first question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Brandon Neely?”
Tell us the WHY of “why you started” this business? Was it because of not having the financial stability you desired “way back when?”
Little steps are the way to begin taking control of your finances. If you begin to string together small wins… it soon becomes habit forming, correct?
You owned your own coffee shop… If I could have that one dream…I’d just report for work and stick an IV in my arm and live the dream… I love coffee… strong coffee… Pastor Bob is known for that…
But, owning your own coffee shop wasn’t the “living the dream” you thought it was going to be, correct?
For you, what was the hardest part of being a business owner?
If you could go back and “start over,” what would that look like? What would you do differently concerning finances?
When I was in service, I was young, 19, married, two kids. My friends, at a minimum, were purchasing savings bonds (this was way back in the 1970’s)… even $25 bonds would double their value in 7 years to $50. I couldn’t even afford that (or so I told myself). Every time I would get a promotion or pay raise, I’d WANT to save, but I was just thankful to have that extra in the family household income… and when I left service, I had almost nothing saved up…
That is not an “unfamiliar” story you hear in what you do with your clients, is it?
I saw a video where you explain the “Pareto Principle.” Can you share what that is and why it is important?
You also teach people how to “Bank on Yourself.” Share what this program is about…
Should a person pay off debt first – and then start to save for their future?
You co-authored an interactive money journal titled, “Five Smooth Stones.” What is this journal about and how does it help someone with the “Still Method.”?
Share with us what you observed and learned from the COVID-19 fiasco, as it concerned business finances?
Share a brief synopsis of what the first few steps are like when someone comes to you wanting to join your program. What are the first few steps they would need to accomplish in order to give you an accurate picture of the TRUE HELP they need?
Share with us about your podcast, “The Wealth Wisdom Financial Podcast.” How long have you been podcasting?
Brandon, this is all so interesting… I could go on and on because I believe what you are doing is truly helping folks – in areas that definitely need to be addressed.

Discover Your Purpose Larry O’Nan I’m often told, “Brother Bob, I just don’t what to do…” and then the purpose I’m talking to goes off on a dissertation of all the things that are going wrong in their life. I’m sure you’ve had conversations with others about the same things… or maybe you’re the one we are having these conversations with.
Either way – you will want to pay attention today! Praise God!
Our guest today will help you to learn how to “intentionally” live a thriving lifestyle where you are able to be a blessing to others instead of a burden to others. I believe that by the end of this interview today, you will gain new insights that will help to transform your daily living and equip you to be in a position to help others who may be struggling right now. Amen!
Larry O’Nan is a Christian speaker and author, serving on numerous community and Christian non-profit organization boards. He and his wife, Pat, served as full-time staff with “Campus Crusade for Christ” for 18 years! Praise God! Through his efforts, he developed and oversaw several growth initiatives that resulted in more than $150 million dollars raised for evangelism and development programs worldwide. Amen!
He is a recognized specialist in non-profit board governance, non-profit management and major gift strategy design and implementation. He is the author of two books, “Giving Yourself Away,” published in 1984 and his most recent book, “Intentional Living and Giving” that was just released in June 2024.
Help me welcome to the program, Larry O’Nan! Larry, it is a blessing to have you with us today. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to join us today. I do appreciate it.
You started off serving in the ministry as leader on the development team with a “billion dollar goal” as your vision! I take it, that was not the goal when you first started out on the development team. Share with us what your background was that got you to that point…
If your church was already envisioning this type of growth, what was the “stewardship” like that needed to change?
Can you tell us what you wrote at the bottom of your note pad that became your, basically, self-motivational tool? (“go for it – you have the freedom to fail”)
At what point did you realize that mentoring and consulting with other non-profit leadership teams was your calling?
The Bible is filled, from front to back, of example after example of those who put GOD FIRST being blessed. That blessing included financially, etc. How was this different from what you were discovering in your research?
If stewardship is not about money, what is it about?
Let’s talk about your book, “Intentional Living and Giving.” Why did you write this book and why did you believe it was needed now?
You state in your book, “Intentional Living and Giving,” that this is not about obtaining increased donations from donors…if not, then how do you go about raising the funds needed for ministry?
There is no doubt that living in this day and time is extremely difficult, financially, spiritually and socially, than ever before. Many people are now in debt up to their eyeballs just trying to hold on. You can blame the economy or whatever…
Why do so many people start off strong and doing the right things, but then end up doing something foolish that just messes up their lives? Is there a way to help keep them from messing up to begin with?
How can your book help them to take charge of their lives again if they have messed up?
As we get ready to close, what would you say to someone listening right now to help them get back on track and begin that walk towards a fulfilled life?
Larry, this is so interesting and definitely so needful in this day and time we live in right now. How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “Intentional Living and Giving?” I take it the book is on Amazon?
If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question, obtain more information or possibly to do an interview such as this. How can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, what Larry O’Nan has shared with us today is priceless. Just taking ONE of the tips he has provided us today can turn your life around from wondering and wandering and struggling to thriving, ministering and sharing. Amen!
His book, “Intentional Living and Giving” addresses the inherent problem of believers feeling uncertain about their role as stewards, offering you clarity and guidance. This book has a unique blend of biblical insights, practical application, and relatable anecdotes which will minister to you as you seek to fulfill your stewardship calling with intention and purpose. This book, literally, can turn your life around and impact others in the process. Amen!
Drop down into the show notes and get in touch with Larry O’Nan. Be sure to click the link to order your own copy of this great book, “Intentional Living and Giving.” In fact, order a couple of copies… I know you know someone right now that may be struggling with some of the things we’ve discussed today. Start implementing the things you have heard Larry talk about today and “be a blessing” to someone. Amen! Sow a copy of this book into their life. Amen!

Critical Race Theory In Our Schools Dr. George Maurer part 2Critical Race Theory, or commonly referred to as CRT, has been in the news a lot recently. One thing is certain, CRT has totally infiltrated our education system… When confronted, education leaders will deny it is impacting education – and in a lot of cases, they blatantly say it is not being taught at all…
As a parent or grandparent who is trying to find out about what IS being taught on Critical Race Theory, it’s almost impossible to find the information you are looking for. Why? Because the powers that be do not want you to understand what it is.
It takes someone who knows how to navigate those dangerous waters to be able to go in, find out what’s happening and then come back and report on it. That is what our guest today has accomplished.
Dr. George Maurer is an award-winning broadcast journalist with more than 35 years of experience. He's a retired Air Force Master Sergeant who deployed to Iraq during the Global War on Terrorism. He also served overseas in Japan, Korea, the Portuguese Azores, and Alaska. For his final assignment, he served in the Pentagon Press Briefing Room alongside all major news organizations. He's interviewed top defense officials such as Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Michael Mullen as well as rock stars like Sammy Hagar and Pat Benatar. During his career, he covered a wide range of major events such as the first military tribunals of enemy combatants at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and the Super Bowl.
He is also the author of an expose’ book titled, “Critical Race Theory in Your School.” In this book, he provides YOU, the average parent or grandparent, vital information to identify IF CRT is being taught and what you can do about it! Amen! In this book, he provides you some “key words” to be watching out for and how you can then use that information to your advantage.
To share some great insights into exposing CRT and what you can do to fight it in your school district, help me welcome to the program, Dr. George Maurer.
This is part two to a great conversation with Dr. Geroge Maurer!
One section of your book jumped out at me that I’d like to share. You were discussing an interview you watched with a Dr. Cardona on a television program called, “The View.” On this show he was asked, point blank, if CRT was being taught at any grade level in the public school and he answered “no.” He was then asked if it was being taught “anywhere.” You said as he answered the question “NO” he broke the gaze with the host and was looking down and to the left. You picked up on that as being deceptive.
As a retired police officer, I’ve had the opportunity to take several interrogation classes and have conducted numerous interrogations at one level or another over my time in law enforcement. I can definitely say, if someone is “trying to remember” something… they will usually look “up and to the right.” And, if they are trying to deceive or avoid the question, you were correct in your assumption that they will look, “down and to the left.”
This is NOT 100% accurate… in law enforcement, we call it a “clue” they may not be telling the truth… and it keys us into an area that we need to ask more probing questions, etc.
In your book, “Critical Race Theory in Your School,” you discuss this is not a new tactic but actually started with Rush Limbaugh and Lars Larson radio shows where these talking points would be called in by liberal operatives. Explain that information for us…
Some school districts will say they are not teaching CRT, but they are teaching what is called, “Ethnic Studies.” Is this the same thing?
In your book, “Critical Race Theory in Your School,” you provide several “key words” for us to be aware of. Can you share some of those key words with us?
What are some strategies that parents can use to protect their children against CRT that is taught in the classroom?
Dr. Maurer, this is so interesting. Where can someone obtain a copy of your book? I take it is on Amazon, correct?
If someone has a question they would like to ask you or they would like to receive more information, or maybe do an interview such as this… how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, as you heard, CRT is here. Despite the lies and deceptions to cover up its existence – it is HERE. And it IS being taught to young children in a way to indoctrinate them into, let’s just say, misguided ways of understanding. Amen.
I urge you to get in touch with your elected officials and express your concerns. I also urge you drop down into the show notes and reach out to Dr. George Maurer. Be sure to click the links in the show notes and order a copy of his great book on this subject, “Critical Race Theory in Your School.” In fact, order two or three copies and start a movement in your child’s school. Amen!
Let your voice be heard on this subject. Praise God.

Dr. Maurer, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to join us today. I do appreciate it.
First question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Dr. George Maurer?”
How did you get involved with this CRT stuff in the beginning? What was the spark that started all of this, with the book and everything?
You share about CRT in the classroom, did you also see it in the military?
How did this get started? I know it had to come from the politicians and the teachers unions, but WHY?

Are We There Yet? Tom Donnan part 2When I was a young child and my family would take a trip somewhere, we would normally drive in a car. And having to sit in the back seat (where you can’t see anything)… and in the days when the car air conditioner was known as a 4-60 (four windows down and drive 60 MPH)… it was hot. And it was not unusual for me to start bugging my dad asking, “Are we there yet?”
When I had kids of my own and taking trips – I also had to answer that same question from them…
Well, today, I’m going to ask this question of my guest.
Tom Donnan is back with us today as we discuss Bible prophecy in relation to current events – and do we have some current events happening right now that definitely relate to Bible Prophecy. Amen!
This is part two to a great conversation with Tom Donnan!
What are your thoughts on this topic and “Are we there yet?”
Unveiling corruption at its darkest hour... (youtube.com)
Now, don’t go writing me your angry letters…I don’t read them anyway… I know SOME (and let me emphasize that) – SOME of them are desperate. Yes… but most are not and they are just looking for a free ride and are hear for nefarious reasons.
The point, Don, that I’m trying to make and would like your opinion on, is that America right now, at the time of this recording, is 248 years old. Will we collapse as a nation in the near future? Will the Constitution still mean anything in the near future?
Democrats Are Showing Their TRUE Colors #trump (youtube.com)
We talked about how cities are having to deal with this migrant crisis. There is also the issue of “JOBS” for all of these people.
-
They are not authorized to hold jobs – but yet, they need jobs.
-
That means they will take “any job” – and probably take less pay for it than someone who IS authorized to work here.
-
They are probably being paid UNDER THE TABLE – which means NO TAX DOLLARS…
So, just to get to the question, let me summarize what I see… Larger government expenditures to care for these people… who are taking jobs under the table to survive… which means a company can hire, let’s just say 2 people for the price of 1 who IS authorized to work here…
That person is unemployed… drawing government benefits…
The illegals are drawing government benefits…
There is no tax dollars coming into the government from either of these people…
The government is running up a huge deficit because of this…
So the government prints more money to pump into the economy – and that causes inflation for EVERYONE…
What are your thoughts on this and - “Are we there yet?”
Bidenomics Is Not Working #bidenfail (youtube.com)
This situation is just not happening here in the United States. It is happening in other nations as well. And the people are fed up with how it is being pushed on them.
As we discussed what is happening here, in the United States, people are upset with this administration and Bidenomics… but it’s not just here. Did you see that France… of all places… FRANCE, one of the most liberal nations in the world – has swung RIGHT toward conservatives?
France Sees MASS RIOTS After Right Wing Victories, Le Pen WINNING (youtube.com)
You know what I’m going to ask… “Are we there yet?”
Now, we have the advance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) being pushed more and more. I firmly believe that AI will be how the anti-Christ is able to do what he needs to do in the end times. What do you think about all of this new “AI” stuff we see happening right now? Are we there yet?
What’s Next? A.I. & The Antichrist: Jimmy Evans Talks Bible Prophecy, A.I., the Antichrist & More (youtube.com)
That brings us to the next topic… are all of these things we just talked about “linked” in some sort of way? Are all the pieces of the puzzle coming together right before our eyes to usher in what has been called “The End Times?” Are we there yet?

Well, more and more people – all over the world (especially in Muslim nations) are having dreams about Jesus, or seeing manifestations of Jesus, etc. Some are seeing dreams or visions of the actual Rapture as well. Have you seen anything on this subject? Are we there yet?
Rapture Dream: "I saw the sky open up and saw Jesus in the clouds with his angels." #Rapture #Dream (youtube.com)
Tom, all of this has been interesting, as usual. I’d like you to pray with someone right now who may be listening to this and realize, “They need Jesus.” Could you do that right now?
Tom, this has been so interesting. How can someone reach out to you to ask a question or get more information?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, our discussion today was not to instill fear – but Faith. Faith in the Name of Jesus. Faith in the Bible. Faith in Biblical Prophecy. Faith that NONE OF THIS is happening by happenstance. None of this is taking God by surprise.
But ALL OF THIS is leading to what are called, “The End Times.”
As Tom so graciously answered the lingering question, “Are we there yet?” – the answer is like the one I was given as a child and also how I answered my kids… “Not yet – but we’re getting close.” Amen!
If you prayed that prayer with Tom Donnan, reach out and let him know. Go to church. Walk by Faith and not by sight. Don’t be moved by what you see or hear – be moved by the Word of God. Amen!

Well, today, I’m going to ask this question of my guest.
Tom Donnan is back with us today as we discuss Bible prophecy in relation to current events – and do we have some current events happening right now that definitely relate to Bible Prophecy. Amen!
Let’s start with a subject that we always seem to drift towards anyway – and that is how NATURE itself is reflecting the awesomeness of God. That can be in its beauty – but it can also be in its veracity.
We can start with the earliest hurricane to hit CAT 5 status in history, Beryl. Naturally, the liberals are claiming “climate change,” but scientists have said it is simply the El Nino and El Nina cycle of warming water. The point I’m making though, regardless of the “natural cause” – is these things are depicted in the Bible as happening in the last days. Do you see this as well?
What about the story about the possible solar flares that are increasing in intensity?
I saw a story a day or so ago that discussed the core… the actual core of the earth – has now REVERSED is rotation… something that has never happened before. They had noticed it has been slowing for decades, but now, they report it has actually reversed course! They have no idea what is about to happen now!
Let’s talk about society in general, especially here in the US, but also around the world.
1 Timothy 3 speaks about what it will be like living in the last days… and I think we can see ourselves in this verse, which says, “But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.”
Tom, what are your thoughts on this topic and “Are we there yet?”
Just look at what has happened to most of the major metropolitan centers of influence in this nation… luxury tourist hotels are closed to the public and turned into housing for illegal migrants. Billions of dollars are being spent by cities (that, by the way don’t have billions of dollars to spend), just to pay for these hotels and taking care of these migrants.
The Bible is very clear, a house divided against itself will not stand. We are a divided nation right now. We are more divided NOW than in the Civil War. And that is an understatement about the condition of this nation.
ALL of the major law enforcement agencies from local to federal are warning of an immenent possibility of a major terrorist attack (bigger than 9-11). Why? Because of allowing open borders and knowing… absolutely KNOWING… that middle aged men from countries with ties to terrorism – are streaming across the border. Most are unaccompanied… and that does not even consider the “gottaway’s.” In essence, America has lost it’s hedge of protection.

Creationism Disproves Evolution Dr. Kent Hovind Dr. Kent Hovind has been preaching the Gospel for over 50 years as a pastor and evangelist and has had over 350 debates against atheists. He is the founder the “Dinosaur Adventure Land” in Lennox, Alabama.
I’ve been looking forward to our discussion today… for those that have followed me, you know that I love sharing information with you on these topics of disproving the stuff being taught today about the earth being billions upon billions of years old.
I believe exactly what the Bible says and I believe the earth and everything else was formed exactly as the Bible says…and we have had other experts on in the past that provided insights in this area that backs up that proof. Amen!
With that being said, help me welcome to the program, Dr. Kent Hovind! Dr. Kent, thank you for taking the time to join us today!
First question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Dr. Kent Hovind?”
How did you get involved with debating those who oppose the Creationist point of view from the Bible?
How did you get started with the “Dinosaur Adventure Land?”
What do you believe is the most compelling evidence for the Creation Theory?
I interviewed an archeologist who is also a geologist several years back. He brought up an excellent contradiction to the evolutionary theorist by using something that happened in recent history – Mt. St. Helen’s eruption.
He said scientists went in and took some of the trees that had been burned and covered in several dozen feet of ash… as the wind and rain eroded some of the ash, they were able to dig down a bit and find these trees.
They did carbon dating on these trees…that had been alive just 7-10 years prior to this – and the carbon dating came back as something like 10,000 years old. If I remember correctly, they hypothesize that the sudden rise in the temperature coupled with immediately being buried by feet of ash and the pressure, etc… caused the erroneous readings.
He has used that in his presentations of the errors in the evolutionist theory.
You also did calculations on the tides of the earth and how that would also account for petrified forests, etc. prior to the flood.
You also share how the Grand Canyon was formed quickly, not over millions of years as science teaches. Share that with us…
One thing I love to bring up in a debate… I have not conducted formal debates like you have… I’ll rephrase that to a “discussion” is this…
When man landed on the moon, what did they find? Nothing! Edwin Aldrin described it as a “magnificent desolation.”
They found no life; no plants; no water; no atmosphere – nothing. Why?
Because the moon was not made for man – earth was? Who made the earth? Go to Genesis 1 and find out! Praise God!
Everything GOOD was created for man by God. All the other stuff, the moon, stars, comets, etc. – is lifeless because man was not supposed to go and live there…
Your thoughts on that?
You have guests that come to visit you on the “Dinosaur Adventure Land.” You advertise it is free for them to stay?
What kind of interesting things will they see when they visit?
Dr. Hovind, this so interesting and needful for the day and time we live. If someone wanted to get more information, maybe to ask a question or possibly to do an interview such as this… how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
You are also, as you said, able to offer all of these things at the “Dinosaur Adventure Land,” including overnight accommodations for free. That is paid for, in part, by the contributions you receive from your supporters. If someone wanted to make a contribution, how can they find the information to become a partner with your organization?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below…
Folks, there is only one Truth out there… His Name is Jesus. Amen! Jesus is the Word of God. Jesus has said that “He and the Father are One.” So if you talk about Jesus, you also have to talk about God. If you talk about God, you talk about the Word of God.
If it is the Truth – which it is – there can be no alternate truth.
We have discussed today “the Truth” of the lie of Evolution and established the “Truth” of Creation as outlined in the Bible – The Word of God. Amen!
I urge you to drop down into the show notes and click the links right there to get in touch with Dr. Kent Hovind and find some great information on the “Dinosaur Adventure Land.” Amen! Click the links down below and I ask you to pray about becoming a partner with the ministry that is the “Dinosaur Adventure Land.” Amen

21 Reasons for Trusting In God Laura BuckleyDo you or someone you know doubt or question if God is real? I know that sounds like a blasphemous question for a Christian podcast – but it is one that is being asked in society today.
I hear questions all of the time that try to plant the seed of doubt into the minds of some people about the existence of God…
Things like, “Why would a loving God allow so much evil in the world?”
“Why would God allow all of this devastation or sickness or wars (put whatever thought you may have or have heard in there as well)?
Sometimes, we just need to sit down and contemplate these things. Not do “doubt if God exists.” No… but to contemplate the importance of relying ON GOD in times like this.
Our guest today decided to explore the profound aspects of Faith and Spirituality in light of sharing the Gospel message of hope, trust and unwavering belief in a loving God…and how to provide answers to those who may be questioning these beliefs.
Laura Buckley is a devoted Christian author who is committed to exploring the profound aspects of faith and spirituality. She has dedicated her literary journey to sharing the Christian message with readers around the world.
To help accomplish this goal, she has published a wonderful book titled, “21 Reasons for Trusting in God.” This book offers the spiritual guidance and tangible proof to help reinforce the reader’s confidence in God’s presence and God’s Love.
Help me welcome to the program, Laura Buckley!
Laura, thank you for taking the time out of your schedule to visit with us today. I do appreciate joining us.
First question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you share with us in your own words, “Who is Laura Buckley?”
Is this book, “21 Reasons for Trusting in God,” your first book? Or have you authored other books?
Do you see people saying they “Believe in God” but yet, they kind of hold back or reserve doubt because they are not “really sure” one way or the other?
I believe another element that adds to the confusion is all of the different faiths and belief systems that are out there today. How did that play into your research and final product of this great book?
Personally, I believe it takes greater faith to NOT BELIEVE IN GOD than to be a believer… For example, despite man’s greatest technological ability – we have never heard of a scientist creating a new, fully functional biological organism – even a single cell amoeba! Let alone a complicated, fully sustained, replicating biological system even like a slug or a worm, let alone a human.
I guess the question there is, did you dive into any of the scientific explanations for the existence of God?
You have a chapter in the book titled “Objections and Difficult Questions.” Share with us a couple of the major objections you encountered as to why people do not believe in God and how your responded in your book?
Some people may say, “Faith is just wishing…” or “Faith is simply a crutch for weak people.” How does your book overcome those stereotypical ideas?
Some people try to equate God with religion. With so many different faiths in the world, how does your book reconcile those arguments into believing in the God of the Bible?
I saw you created an audio version of your book, “21 Reasons for Trusting in God.” Share with us about that… did you record it yourself?
If someone wanted to obtain a copy of your book, “21 Reasons for Trusting in God,” how can they do that? How can they obtain a copy… We mentioned it is on Amazon, correct?
Laura, this all so interesting… and this book is definitely needful for such a time as this, in this chaotic world we are living in right now. I believe God is going to use this book to further the entrance of His Kingdom through Christ Jesus very soon. This is really a great book that answers some amazing questions…
If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or maybe do an interview such as this… how can they do that? How can someone contact you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below…
Folks, from the dawn of time, humans have searched for answers to the most fundamental questions about our existence. Many have turned to religion to find meaning. The confusion is in “which religion.” Some get confused because the world is full of distractions. Others may struggle just to truly understand and trust in God's Love and His plan for you.
Laura Buckley’s book, “21 Reasons for Trusting in God” will answer these questions and turn your doubt to Faith and help to bring clarity and guidance on your journey toward a more profound understanding of God and His place in your life.
Drop down into the show notes right now and click the links right there. Reach out to Laura. But be sure to click the link to order your own copy of this great book, “21 Reasons for Trusting in God.” In fact, I recommend you order two, three or more copies of this book – it is that important!
Allow God to use you to share this work with others. Buy a couple of these books for the church library. Put them in the teen’s ministry area. Use this work to reach those you may not be able have this type of conversation with, for whatever reason. Amen!

Common Wisdom Laura GabayanWisdom. The Bible defines wisdom in Proverbs 3:13-15 as, “Blessed are those that find wisdom, those that gain understanding. For she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns that fine gold. She is more precious than rubies and nothing you desire can compare with her."
I would say that the wisest thing a person can do is to seek MORE WISDOM… or in other words, “The first rule of wisdom is to seek more wisdom.” Amen!
Well, that is exactly what our guest today has done….
Dr. Laura Gabayan is a world-renowned physician and researcher. Regarded internationally as an expert in the field of research, she has published dozens of papers cited by hundreds of researchers.
She was inspired to conduct extensive research on WISDOM. How can someone do that? Simple… she did research by talking to notable “experts” about – you guessed it – WISDOM! Praise God!
She then evaluated all of the interviews and started to see some commonalities. She has published her findings in a great book titled, “Common Wisdom: 8 Essential Elements of a Meaningful Life.” In doing this, she has answered two questions:
-
What is Wisdom and,
-
Can it be scientifically defined using the Scientific Method of research we were taught in school. Amen!
To discuss her results and this her great book, “Common Wisdom,” help me welcome to the program, Dr. Laura Gabayan! Dr. Laura, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to join us today and impart some WISDOM with us. Amen!
First question I always ask is this… Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Dr. Laura Gabayan?
You decided to interview notable “Experts” on Wisdom. You also started the “Wisdom Research Project” to, basically, keep all of this as a professionally based, scientific research program. I guess the question is, “How did you find these “Wise people” to interview?”
You found eight major elements that were common throughout your interviews with 60 experts. Can you give us a quick list and synopsis of the “8 Elements of Wisdom?”
-
Resilience 2. Kindness 3. Positivity 4. Spirituality
-
Humility 6. Tolerance 7. Creativity 8. Curiosity
Where did you interview them at? Did you travel to them? Was it virtually accomplished?
About how many questions did you ask your “wise participants?”
How long did it take you to do all of these interviews?
You then started compiling their responses and grouping them into categories. How long did it take you to evaluate and categorize the responses?
As you were compiling this information, what surprised you the most from their responses?
In your book, “Common Wisdom,” you discuss the “interconnectedness” of these elements. What do you mean by that?
Following your research, do you believe the purpose of life is to attain wisdom? Can understanding wisdom help us in understanding the “meaning of life?”
Do you think that is why you discovered the older people were considered more “wise?”
You share that people should refer back to your book, “Common Wisdom,” often. Why is that?
If you could sum up your book, “Common Wisdom” in one statement, what would that be?
Dr. Laura, this is so interesting. How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “Common Wisdom?” I take it is on Amazon, correct?
If someone would like to reach out to you, to ask a question, receive more information or possibly to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, I started out today by asking you, “What is Wisdom?”
Dr. Laura has shared with us that “wisdom” itself is complicated…but, through her unique and highly acclaimed research, it can be categorized into eight major components. Praise God!
But, Knowing the eight elements of wisdom is fantastic, but not enough. Using them - and integrating them into our daily lives - is where the magic happens. It’s a process.
“Common Wisdom” will give the you compelling food for thought on identifying ways to improving your understanding and improving your abilities as they relate to these eight elements, and will help to lead you to a wiser and more meaningful life in the process. Amen!
I urge you to drop down into the show notes, click the links right there to reach out to Dr. Laura Gabayan, right now. Click the link and order your own copy of her great book, “Common Wisdom.”
Start the process now of identifying these eight elements of Wisdom in your own life. Learn how to recognize these things and start to focus on them and allow them to, “Make you Wiser” – Amen! That’s what WISDOM is supposed to do, right? Wisdom is supposed to make you wiser!

Awakening to God’s Path for Your Life Guy Gane Part 2We have all suffered setbacks. Every person in the sound of my voice right now can tell a story. Amen. I’ve had them… yes, I said THEM. More than one… several… and few of them were major, major setbacks
Our guest today is Guy Gane. He had it all. He was a successful businessman. He had a good income, great family and was living the lifestyle most wanted to aspire to. Beautiful homes, expensive cars, enjoyable vacations, public recognition, and the promise of goals assured to achieve. But, through the efforts of so nice business partners… things fell apart. And fast. Within 8 hours - one working day - Guy ‘s 30 - plus year reputation of goodness, honesty and integrity as a stockbroker were not called into question. They disappeared completely. It is said that it is better to never have had money than have it all be taken away. This is a man who has lived through both.
In fact, Guy ended up suffering in a huge way… I’ll let him give the synopsis. But if you want the detailed story, go listen to our prior interview in episodes 1509 and 1510. Amen.
We had such a great conversation, I had to invite him back on today because… well – we just ran out of time on his prior interview. Amen!
Last time, we were discussing his great book, , “Chrysalis: Awakening to God's Path, Protection and Power in Your Life.”
But I wanted to go a little deeper because Guy has a unique and very beneficial coaching program that we were not able to go into last time.
With that being said, help me welcome back to the program, Guy Gane! Guy, it is a blessing to have you come back on the program with us today!
This is part 2 to a great conversation with Guy Gane!
I mentioned that you have a coaching program, “Performance Coaching.” Can you share with us how you help others and what your program consists of?
Guy, this has been so interesting. I know you’ve touched the hearts of a lot of people just sharing your story and your information and perspective. If someone wanted to ask you a question or get in touch with you, maybe to do an interview such as this… how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below…
Folks, not everyone has gone through the tragic life lessons that Guy Gane has gone through. But we all have gone through “something.” Pastor Bob included. I’m telling you right now, God has you listening today for a reason. There is something you have gone through or perhaps someone you know who has gone through something… something that turns life “upside down."
You need to get a copy of Guy Gane’s book, “Chrysalis: Awakening to God's Path, Protection and Power in Your Life” in your hands now. Right now! Amen!
Guy Gane’s now imparts the knowledge he has gained through a lifetime of happiness and hardship and demonstrates what can be accomplished through a dedication to discipline, foundational principles, and most importantly – Faith. Amen! Faith in God is the bedrock of it all. His is a testimony of living a life - not only of belief, but in knowing - that whatever a person chooses to do with their life can, through God’s guidance, be accomplished.
Does that sound like you? Are you ready to accomplish what God has intended for you to achieve?
If so, drop down into the show notes and click the links right there to get in touch with Guy Gane’s - and be sure to click the link to order this great book. Amen! I’ll have the links right there. Just drop down into the show notes and click the links – right now. Amen! Reach out to Guy Ganes and find out if his coaching program is the answer for God that you have been waiting for. Amen!

You wrote the book, “Chrysalis: Awakening to God's Path, Protection and Power in Your Life?”
Why did you choose the word, “Chrysalis?” and explain what that word means…

Out of Egypt Craig Dehut part 2There is so much noise today in the media. Useless, controversial and often inflammatory rhetoric which leads to more and more animosity and division. Documentaries today tend to “fuel the fire” (so to speak) as well.
In order to teach the Gospel, we first must understand the Gospel message. The only way to truly understand the Gospel message is to experience it as best we can. Many people are unable to make a pilgrimage to the land of the Bible. Many people do not have the resources, or perhaps their health issues preclude them from doing so.
It’s been said that a picture is worth a thousand words… I’d also add that a video is probably worth 10,000 pictures. Because, in actuality, that is what a video is… thousands of individual pictures strung together in sequence to tell as story. Amen!
This brings up the need for safe, professional and Biblically accurate videos that reflect the Bible Stories in a unique way that will motivate, educate and inspire Christians everywhere.
That is where our guest comes in. Amen.
Craig Dehut is one the co-founders of Apian Media. He and Stuart Peck were alarmed with the soaring rate of disengaged young people with the Bible. They recognized one of the causes was lack of engaging, accurate and professionally produced videos that would capture the attention of, not only the younger generation, but Christians everywhere. And that, in the process, these videos would be viewed from around the world through the power of the internet. Even in places open witnessing cannot be accomplished. Amen!
They recently released their latest work, “Out of Egypt,” which is a video detailing their attempt to make the “Exodus Journey” which God used to free Israel from Egyptian bondage.
To discuss this magnificent project, help me welcome to the program, Craig Dehut! Craig, thank you for taking the time to join us today! I do appreciate your time.
This is part two to a great conversation with Craig Dehut!
First question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Craig Dehut?”
The idea for Apian Media started way back in 2015. Can you share original motivation that started the planning for this between you and Stuart Peck?
Share with our listeners your name, “Appian Media.” What does that reference?
Which was your first video that Apian Media produced?
How many views have you received on your videos from around the world?
What kind testimonials have you received from those that viewed your videos?
When you filmed the “Following Jesus” video – What was the most memorable or remarkable experience you can share with us?
There is no doubt of the need for videos like you are producing. How important do you view the need to counter the culture of Hollywood and the trash corrupting the minds of people today?
Let’s talk about your recent video, “Out of Egypt.” How long was the planning process for this video (from “Hey, this is an idea” to actually landing in Egypt)?
The primary, I guess I’d say “narrator” in the film, is Jeremy Dehut. I take it Jeremy is your brother? Is that correct?
I was watching the video and seen you interview the owner of a brick making factory…You were declared the “master brick maker.” What was your impression when you saw them making bricks almost in the same manner as depicted in the Bible?
If I did my calculations correctly, the average brick maker could make 500 bricks per day – per person. Did you ever find out if that was the “tale of the bricks” that would have been used in Biblical times?
I learned from the video that the “Ark of the Covenant” idea came from Egypt. Is that right?
In the video, you take the viewer on a ship out into the Red Sea. How impressive was it being on the Red Sea and knowing you were in the same spot God Supernaturally parted those waters and allowed a million plus people through on dry ground?
As your crew was filming on Mt. Sinai, a pastor who had walked up to the top of the mountain made it to the top – walking the entire way with a cane. Praise God! When I saw that, I immediately thought of Moses in his 80’s making that journey, too.
Your video shows a massive desert where the Israelites had to learn to rely on God every step of every day for every single thing they needed. Can you explain how relevant that is for us today – even in our society?
How important is it for us to take advantage of modern technology, like video and the internet to help people become re-engaged with the Bible?
What do you see as the future of “Faith Based Media?”
It took Moses and Israel 40 years to make their journey. How long did it take your team to make the journey?
Your video focuses on one person in your crew… but how many were actually there with you for the filming of different camera angles, etc.?
You had your premier viewings a few months ago. What was the general response to this documentary?
This proves the value of the power of visual story-telling in ministry, doesn’t it?
At the end of the video, there is a tribute to Linda Dehut. Who is that?
What is your next project you are planning and when can we expect to see it published?
As we get ready to close… If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or perhaps to do an interview such as this – how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
Appian Media puts these documentaries together solely off of donations made to your 501-c-3 ministry, correct? If someone wanted to get in touch with you to send an offering of support, etc., how can they do that?
Folks, as I said the beginning today… a “picture is worth a thousand words.” And we have learned also that a video is worth ten thousand or more pictures. There is no way every person in the sound of my voice could make a pilgrimage like Craig and his crew did. Some can… some will… but for the rest of us – we have to do it vicariously through others.
That is where Craig Dehut and his team and partners at Appian Media come in. Their calling is make these videos and to take YOU into the land of the Bible. To have you experience the Bible through their video.
I can’t tell you how much this interview has blessed me. I’ve watched their most recent video and it is AWESOME. I’ve put the links for you to get in touch with Appian Media below. You can view their works on the website, or download the videos… it’s up to you. But I cannot emphasize the importance of you dropping down in the show notes and clicking the links right there.
Reach out to Craig and his team. Reach out and view the videos… and I want to add – send along an offering of support. Amen!
Pastors, I believe this would make a great missionary outreach for your church. I’d even recommend reaching out to Craig about having a special viewing at your church and inviting Craig or one of his team to come in and speak for the special event. Amen!
Let your congregation experience it first-hand! Praise God!

Video “Out of Egypt” – on Appian Media Website
The State of Black AmericaStar Parker I grew up in tumultuous times of the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. I remember the riots in Detroit and other cities. I remember the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. Our entire school system, where I grew about 60 miles north of Detroit, had 3… that’s it… 3 black students – in the entire school system.
So watching these events on TV, as a young, impressionable teenager, taught me some things that were flat out wrong…racism, discrimination, etc.
It was not until I went in the Army in the mid-70’s that I discovered how wrong my upbringing was. Not only did I realize I was wrong on my perceptions – but some of my co-workers and fellow soldiers and who became my best friends, who were black, discovered they were wrong about ME in their perceptions, too.
Why am I leading off with this? Because perceptions – I should say “misperceptions” – can lead to disastrous policies, disastrous incidents and out of these things – nothing good can ever come. Amen!
Our guest today grew up in that same time frame that I did… but from looking at things, let’s just say, from the other side of the tracks.
Star Parker, grew up as a military brat…my kids can relate to that… but after moving to St. Lous in 1969, right after the MLK assassination, she found herself swept up in the racial tensions that was sweeping the nation. This led her down a path that took her years to recognize was - the wrong path.
With several abortions, living on Food Stamps and Welfare and seeking work that paid, “under the table” (so she could continue on Government subsistence), she found herself pregnant, but wanting to keep this baby.
That one decision led her to make another – where she accepted Jesus as her Lord and that led to another decision… to change her life for the better.
Today, Star Parker is a nationally syndicated columnist and hosts a weekly television news show, CURE America with Star Parker, which is broadcast on the National Religious Broadcasters Network, the TCT Network and others as well as on the streaming services. She has served on the Executive Board of the National Religious Broadcaster Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors at the Leadership Institute. She has spoken on more than 225 college campuses, including Harvard, Berkeley, Emory, Liberty, Franciscan, UCLA, and the University of Virginia.
She is a regular commentator on national television and radio networks including the BBC, EWTN, FOX News and others.
She is the founder and president of CURE, which is the “Center for Urban Renewal and Education.”
CURE has just released a new study, in book form, in cooperation with contributing scholars and luminaries who are experts in their fields of study, titled, “The State of Black Progress – Confronting Government and Judicial Obstacles.”
Having said all of that, help me welcome to the program our very special guest, Star Parker! Star, it is a blessing for you to come on the program and join us today.
The first question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Star Parker?”
Just to lay the groundwork for the discussion of your book, share with us, from your perception, what life was like for you, your family and friends, back in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s with all of the racial tensions that were going on?
Tell us about the advertising agency that would not hire you because you were not a Christian? How did that interview affect your life going down the road?
How long after that were you led to get off of welfare?
Tell us about your newsletter that ended up introducing you to your future husband?
You were in a bi-racial marriage… as am I. Praise God. My wife and I have been married for 46 years this year. We have also been “looked at” a little different… but I would not change one thing we’ve been through. I take it you and your husband were looked at this the same way?
I wanted to go over all of this in your background to lead us into the discussion now of this new book your organization, the “Center for Urban Renewal and Education” has just released, “The State of Black Progress: Confronting Government and Judicial Obstacles.”
In this book, you start off in the very first chapter with a statement, “There is only one race – the human race – within which there is a moral equality of persons.”
Since you put this first up in your book, I take it this was an important revelation for you as well?
One of the sections of your book is on “Marginalized Communities Did Not Just Happen.” Are you saying these impoverished communities were planned? Like “community planning for the poor?”
The liberal politicians have been promising to “fix things” every election cycle for decades. But yet, things continue to get worse. Why is this and what has your study discovered as a possible way to “fix it?”
In your book, “The State of Black Progress – Confronting Government and Judicial Obstacles,” you state, “The scholars and luminaries who contributed to this volume believe that what has been lost can be recovered.”
Can you share a few ways your book describes what was lost and HOW it can be recovered?
I believe it was in your previously released book, “Pimps, Whores and Welfare Brats,” where you identified exactly who the “pimps and whores” are. Can you share that with us here?
What do you recommend, in your book, “The State of Black Progress,” as a path this nation, the public as a whole and not just politicians, should take? How can we fix what is wrong?
Star, this has been so interesting. How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “The State of Black Progress – Confronting Government and Judicial Obstacles?” Is it on Amazon?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, Star Parker is a “voice of one crying out in the wilderness.” I’m not saying she is the prophet Elijah…but she is a prophet. Amen!
She is boldly declaring what is wrong and what is right and what needs to be done to make things right. This has brought a lot of opposition from the one who opposes RIGHT and those under his influence.
We need to support Star Parker in her work to get this information out to the public and start to effect the changes that need to be made.
I want to encourage you to drop down into the show notes and click the links right there. Get in touch with Star Parker… click the link to check out her great organization, CURE (“Center for Urban Renewal and Education”).
Be sure to click the link to order her book, “The State of Black Progress – Confronting Government and Judicial Obstacles.” You need to get this in your hands right now. Order a couple of copies and start passing them around to your friends, your pastor, etc. Amen!
Together, we can work to GET THE WORD OUT! Amen!

The End of It All Alisha EichEveryone goes through struggles and tough times in life. Everyone questions the “Why did this happen to me” feelings. Everyone knows they have a God given calling – but sometimes, “life just gets in the way.” Amen!
That is what happened with our guest today.
Alisha Eich developed a serious interest in singing, playing the piano, and writing music around the age of 11. Influenced by worship leaders such as Darlene Zschech, Delirious, Brooke Fraser, and Hillsong United during her teenage years, Alisha learned how to write music that is creative, authentic, and spiritual.
Raised in a ministry-minded home, she was greatly influenced by her parents, with the emphasis in her home on using one’s talents to serve God. This is a principle that continues to guide her today.
She released some music a few years ago and then “Life” got in the way a bit. She got married, had four children… but the calling on her life persisted.
Alisha Eich’s newest solo single, “The End of It All,” (released on June 14th), speaks about the sovereignty and purposes of God amidst the chaos and struggles of life. The song weaves a narrative from creation in Genesis to our redemption in the New Testament, acknowledging God’s eternal redeeming plan. Addressing daily struggles and emphasizing the importance of clinging to Jesus, Alisha reminds listeners that no matter what challenges arise, Jesus Christ remains a steadfast creator and friend. Amen.
Help me welcome to the program, Alisha Eich! Alisha, thank you for taking the time to join us today. I do appreciate it!
The first question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Alisha Eich?”
You grew up in a Christian home. I believe I read where your parents were in the ministry as well. Is that correct?
How did your home life bear out in the music you created and performed growing up?
You collaborated with your song, “The End of It All,” with Lloyd Nicks. How did you get connected with him to collaborate on this song? Have you worked with him before?
You’ve been nominated for GMA (Gospel Music Association) Awards before. Is this one going to win you another nomination?
I know being a wife and full time mother is time consuming… Are you about ready to go on the road with your latest release? What’s the plans you have in regards to that?
Alisha, this is all so interesting. And your latest song, “The End of It All” is absolutely amazing. How can someone obtain a copy of your song? Is it available on iTunes or something like that?
If someone wanted to reach out to you, maybe to invite you to their church or an event, etc. Or just to ask a question or maybe to do an interview like this… how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, there is absolutely no way to replace what is in your heart. If you have Jesus in your heart, the music will reflect that. Amen. I find myself singing Gospel songs while cutting grass or just walking through the store.
Now, I’m just singing them in my head…if I started singing them out loud, Brother Bob would probably be banned from going shopping… amen. I can’t carry a tune to save my life… but…
Alisha Aich sure can. Amen! You need to click the links down below and grab your own copy of her music – and especially her latest release, “The End of It All.” Amen!

“The End of It All” - https://wingsmusic.lnk.to/TheEndofItAll
Call on Me Amanda HagelHow many of us have realized that God has a “calling on our life?” Every hand should be up… amen! God has a unique calling for each and every person out there. Sometimes, we are the ones who are holding up the show (so to speak). We need to find out what our calling is… our unique calling that only God can speak to. Then, follow that calling wherever God leads. Amen!
That is something our guest today has been doing since she was a little girl growing up in Saskatchewan, Canada.
Amanda Hagel is an award winning Christian artist that has just released an amazing song titled, “Call on Me.” The inspiration for this song came from some deep prayer and meditation about what her next musical assignment should be. The Holy Spirit definitely delivered…amen!
In just a few short years, Amanda has released 21 music videos; has been in numerous competitions and won several awards. She has ranked numerous times on the Canadian Indie Country Countdown. She has release four FULL LENGTH albums – and the list of achievements go on and on. Amen!
Help me welcome to the program, Amanda Hagel. Amanda, thank you for taking the time to join us today. I do appreciate it!
The first question I always start with is this… Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Amanda Hagel?”
You got started at a young age in your family music group, correct?
Your first instrument was a guitar?
How old were you when you started to perform live, on stages, with your family?
You were not just an aspiring young artist – but you were also an athlete in school, correct?
You are also a certified personal trainer, right?
Was there ever any conflict between possibly pursuing an athletic career or the music business?
Share with us about your latest release, a music video titled, “Call on Me.”
Have you taken it on the road yet? Touring or anything like that?
When you minister through your music, is there a point, especially when you are ministering at a live event, that you realize the Holy Spirit has just, basically, “taken over” the concert?
Amanda, this is so interesting. How can someone obtain your latest release and watch the music video, etc.?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you…maybe to invite you to come to an event or to their church, etc. How can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below…
Folks, we know that the presence of God involves music. We know that the Holy Spirit definitely responds to music. You need to get access to Amanda Hagel’s music right now – usher in the Holy Spirit into your home, your car – wherever you are! Amen!

What Truly Matters Elenee YoungHave you ever considered what “truly matters in your life?” For some people, it’s their family. For others it is their reputation. What is it in your life that truly matters to YOU?
This is the question that our guest today wanted to share about through her music. To get you to think about what really is important to YOU.
Elenee Young is a multi-award winning Christian recording artist, song writer and producer that has a new release titled, “I Don’t Want It.” This song challenges listeners to reflect on their own lives and to consider what truly does matter the most to them.
The message in the song is very clear: “Worldly success is fleeting and often comes with strings attached. But a life led by Faith and guided by God is profoundly rewarding.” Amen!
Help me welcome to the program, Elenee Young! Elenee, it is a blessing to have you on the program today! Thank you for taking the time to join us – I do appreciate it.
The first question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Elenee Young?”
How long have you been a song writer and musician?
Have you always been in the Christian niche?
How does your Faith influence the music your write?
If you had to describe your style of music, how would you do that? Does it have any particular leaning, like “country” or “rock” or “contemporary,” etc.?
How many songs do you have on your album?
But your main track is “I Don’t Want It.” Can you share with us the story behind that song?
How many albums have you created?
If you could share one thing from your music that you would want your listener to remember, what would that one thing be?
What is your goal in the music ministry business? What is your big aspiration?
Elenee, this is so interesting. How can someone obtain a copy of your album? How can they get your music into their downloads, etc?
If someone wanted to reach out to you to ask you to come to their church or event, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, Christian music is designed to do one thing – bring you into the presence of the Most High God. That is what David did with his music.
Music has the ability to transcend the mind and connect directly with your soul. Amen! And that is what Elenee Young’s music does. It will minister to your spirit. It will connect you with the Heavenly Worship that will energize you and bring you through – whatever it is you are needing to go through. Amen!
I want to encourage you to drop down below into the show notes and click the links right there to get in touch with Elenee Young, order her music – get your request in and get her booked to come out to your church or event and minister to your people – in person! Amen!
Glory to God!

The World Without God TS WrightThere is a growing movement, not just in this nation, but around the world, trying to “devalue” the Word of God and the morality of the Bible. This is not new… it’s actually been going on since time began. Amen! I just have to reference the FALL in the Garden of Eden as exhibit number ONE in my evidence file.
Don’t shout me down when I’m preaching good already… amen!
Have you seen the erosion of morality, just in the country? Just in the last 25 or 30 years?
The movement is to totally remove the Christian influence from society. That is why Christianity is attacked on all fronts as being “offensive.”
What would the world be like without God’s Word or God’s Morality? For many, unfortunately, they are about to find out! The soon return of Jesus is near – and THEN they will get their wish.
Our guest today is Scott Wright of the “God Centered Concept” podcast and journal of the same name. He is going to help us dive into this topic today. Help me welcome to the program, Scott Wright!
Scott, it’s good to have you back with us today!
So, the question is: “What would the world be like without God’s Word?” Your thoughts?
How would we even function? As a society and/or personally?
The Bible says that people who have never heard of Jesus still have the ability to SEE GOD through nature and creation, etc. Is that where “morality” would come from? From the five physical senses?
Is it possible for someone who does not know Jesus… to “FIND JESUS” through nature and be saved – even if they (society) would outlaw publication and distribution of the Word of God. I’m talking about outlawing possession of the Bible, no preaching, no churches, etc?
Scott this has been such an interesting discussion. I love doing “deep dives” into different, well, let’s just call them, “God Centered Concepts” of the Bible and of Worship.
If someone wants more information or would like to ask a question, how can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below…
Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Scott Wright. Get in touch with him. Subscribe to his podcast. And be sure to purchase his journal and start learning all about the “God Centered Concepts” that he specializes in. Amen!

Damara, thank you for taking the time to join us today… I do appreciate it!The first question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Damara Melissa?”You were born in the Caribbean…How old were you when you moved to Canada?Was the music in Canada was a bit different from Caribbean music that you were used to?You experienced a personal loss that led you to begin writing Christian music, correct?Who is this music being published through?How much does your Faith influence the music you now write?Tell us why you put your spin on “Thousand Halleluiahs…”Are you looking at going on tour or joining a group? What is your goal as a Christian music artist?What is the process you use to write your music? Do you just write down your thoughts and let the Holy Spirit guide you from there? Or is there a special process you use?What is the one take away you want the listeners of your music to have?Where can someone go to download or purchase your music?Damara, this is so interesting… if someone has a question or would like to reach out to you, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.Folks, music is the pathway to the soul. You can find out a lot about a person by listening to the music they enjoy. If you don’t believe me – just do an observation around you as you go shopping or out and about next time. David became KING because He used music to worship the Lord. Amen! That is what brought him to a position of favor with King Saul and eventually, to become King and – through his lineage, we get to Jesus! Amen! And it all started with music!

LIFE BY DESIGN Mark CollinsAs believers, sometimes we fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to others. Don’t shout me down when I’m preaching good… amen…
It’s true…think about this for a minute…
Women will observe what other women are wearing, how they fixed their hair, etc.
Men will compare themselves to the success of other men… better cars, better neighborhoods… dream jobs – and more…
But believers should not be comparing themselves to anyone… we each have a calling given to us by God. We are called, number one: to be ourselves and, number two: to serve HIM in all that we do.
So my calling is not the same as your calling; someone else’s calling – even if it is the same “JOB” – is not the same calling as someone else. By that, for example, let’s use me… my calling is to “Get the Word Out” – that is our ministry mission statement. We accomplish the mission by assisting others to “Get the Word Out” about what THEY DO for THEIR CALLING. Hence, the podcast interviews.
There are other Christian podcasters. Some teach, some discuss prophecy, some interview others… but WE (my podcast) focuses ONLY on helping someone to share their calling with the world – by helping them promote what they do via a podcast interview. Amen!
Anyway… our guest today has a calling on his life to offer Christian men Biblical answers to overcoming fear & uncertainty and to allow them the opportunity to “unleash the Hero within.” Amen!
Mark Collins is a pastor, coach, husband, father and the author of a great book, “Life Mastery – Living By Design, Not Default.” He is also the associate pastor of his church and has created several online courses and tools to help equip Christian MEN to achieve the impact they are meant to have. Amen!
Now, ladies, don’t turn us off just yet. This is something that will help you relate, encourage and support your husbands as well. You may even learn a thing or two about WHY he does some of the things he does. Amen!
To find out more, help me welcome to the program Pastor Mark Collins! Mark, thank you for taking the time to join us today!
First question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Mark Collins?”
What got you interested in pursuing this line of coaching?
I alluded to this in the introduction a little bit… that you believe men think we need to “measure up” to some standard in order to be loved and valued. You call this, “Your Character is Calling…” Can you explain that for us?
I truly believe every person has a God Given Calling. How do you help those you coach to discover God’s plan for their life is more than their current experience?
I know I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life… (to which my wife would give a hearty AMEN)… but you share how to “Change your life, one thought at a time.” Can you explain that for us?
Let’s shift to your book for a minute, “Life Mastery – Living By Design, Not Default.” Why did you write this book?
Who is the intended audience? Age, demographics, etc.?
How does your book help them to overcome the fear and uncertainty they face – especially in this society today – of standing for their Christian Faith and leading the life they want in Christ?
Mark, this is some great information… how can someone obtain a copy of your book, “Life Mastery – Living By Design, Not Default?” Is it on Amazon?
This has been so interesting. If someone has a question, would like more information or would like to get in touch with you (maybe to do an interview like this..), how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, YOU are not an accident. God DESIGNED you for a specific purpose and He needed you to be alive at this point in history. He did not need you 50 years ago or 100 years ago and He does not need you here in another 100 years (if Jesus tarries that long). He needs you here – NOW! Amen!
You need to find out what that calling is and learn how to start “Living by Design, Not Default!” Amen!
Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Mark Collins. Ask your questions, check out the information. Visit his YouTube channel where he has a lot of great information on his videos. But be sure to click the link below to order his great book, “Life Mastery – Living By Design, Not Default.” Do it right now, while you are thinking about it. Amen!

Sharpening the SpearRichard Walsh pt 2When I started this ministry and knew it was going to be focused 100% online – I started searching high and low for a way to do it effectively, economically and easily…I had to go through many iterations that disproved ALL of those goals… it was not easy… it was definitely not economically easy and it most definitely was not effective… Amen!That is when I made the decision to hire a coach. Someone who has “Been there and done that.” Yes – it cost me some additional funds… but having someone actually tell you, “Don’t do that – save your money… do this instead…” That advice is priceless. Amen!Looking back over these last 14-15 years…I can attest to the true value of finding a coach who can guide down the path of whatever it is you are trying to do. Whether ministry, business, etc… whatever it is you are doing – you can be better. You can be more efficient. You can be more successful. You can impact more people. In the end – the price you pay up front for that type of guidance is, PRICELESS.Our guest today specializes in helping other entrepreneurs find those “immediate, problem solving results” and to build a strategic, long term implementation plan of systemization and scalability. Amen!Richard Walsh of “Sharpen the Spear Coaching” is here today to help us understand how to accomplish this. His program of growth focuses on something he calls, “Time Compression.” Using this information, Richard says he can save you almost 10 years of struggle and costly mistakes. Amen!Richard is also the author of the book, “Escape from the Owner Prison – The Contractors New Way to Scale, Regan Control and Fast Track Growth While Loving Life!” Amen! That sounds like something we all need… Praise God!This is part two (and the conclusion) of a great two part interview with Richard!It is not just having a “great idea” – but a way to deliver the product or services; a way to follow up with clients and potential clients, etc. It was not until we instituted a system into what we did that we began to see profitability. How important is systemization in what you do to help your clients?Is it important to focus on growing a business ability to scale in the future – when you are just laying the foundation to get started in the beginning? I guess the question would be – should they incorporate that ability into their start up planning?Are there some common roadblocks that almost everyone faces when starting a business?I know I suffered from this problem way back in the beginning… the feeling like “I had to do everything” myself. One issue was – I had nobody else. The second issue was – I had no money to hire anybody else. And the third issue was, I was “testing and learning” as I went – so I really had no idea of even how to ask for help - when I really did not know what I needed… Have you encountered these issues as well in helping your clients?Do these things apply to ministry or “Kingdom focused businesses?”CALLING – CHARACTER - COMPETENCYLet’s talk about your book for a minute. Why did you write this book, “Escape from the Owner Prison – The Contractors New Way to Scale, Regan Control and Fast Track Growth While Loving Life?”What will your readers learn as the go through this book?Will this information apply to other industries outside of contracting? For example, “online businesses?”Richard, this is truly interesting… where you 15 years ago when I needed this kind of help?Your book, “Escape from the Owner Prison,” how can someone obtain a copy of this book?

To find out how – well, let’s welcome to the program, Richard Walsh! Richard, it is a blessing to have you join us today!
The first question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell a bit about your background and “Who is Richard Walsh?”
As I as sharing, when I first started out, life was rough. I had good intentions and thought I knew what to do…when I first went into ministry back in 1999, holding meetings, etc., the people, literally, stayed away by the thousands… there were some meetings in an 800 seat auditorium that had 8 or 9 people there… it was bad… starting on radio… back in 2009, a little better… but radio was a huge cash outlay with very little to show for it…
You help people in starting their businesses. How often does someone come to you with, what they think, is a great idea…but they actually have no plan for success? How are you able to help them?
It is not just having a “great idea” – but a way to deliver the product or services; a way to follow up with clients and potential clients, etc. It was not until we instituted a system into what we did that we began to see profitability. How important is systemization in what you do to help your clients?

The Happy Trap TS Wright Have you ever felt trapped before? It’s not a good feeling, is it?
It may have been a situation you were manipulated into, unaware of what was happening…
It could have been something you willing did – hoping for a different outcome…but here you are…
Maybe you were caught in a “Happy Trap?”
What is that Brother Bob? I’m so glad you asked!
Scott Wright is back today and last time he was on, we had a great discussion about the “Fragrance of Jesus.” There were a lot of interesting things brought out during that discussion… if you missed it, go back to the archives and dig it out. Amen.
But today, Scott is going to share with us information on “The Happy Trap…” To do that, help me welcome back to the program, our good friend, Scott Wright!
Scott, it’s good to have you again – I’ve been looking forward to the conversation today!
What in the world is a “Happy Trap?” Is it good or bad?
How does this apply to the end times and what people will become?
What does it “look like” in modern society?
So this type of “happy trap” started when…?
What should we, as Christians, take from this discussion today?
Scott, this has been so interesting. I love doing “deep dives” into different, well, let’s just call them, “God Centered Concepts” of the Bible and of Worship.
If someone wants more information or would like to ask a question, how can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below…
Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Scott Wright. Get in touch with him. Subscribe to his podcast. And be sure to purchase his journal and start learning all about the “God Centered Concepts” that he specializes in. Amen!

To My Spouse I Write Lloyd Portman I’ve known our guest today for quite some time. He and I joke that we are “twins.” We were born on the same day, only in different time zones and opposite ends of the earth! Amen!
Lloyd Portman is a Christian entrepreneur for “down under” in New Zealand. He is the founder of a magnificent website and coaching program called, “To My Spouse I Write.” It is designed to draw couples even closer together in ways that, well – only God can tell. Amen!

To share all about this great program, help me welcome to the program, my great friend, Lloyd Portman. Lloyd – Praise God, welcome to the show!

I know that you were born again milking cows, is that right? Did a cow kick you in the head and you heard God, or what?
You also felt called to the ministry. For most people, myself included, when that happens, you think you have to go through the normal progression… go to Bible school, assistant pastor somewhere… eventually have your own church…
Tell us about your new program, “To My Spouse I Write.” What is this about and how does it work?
Is this for one spouse or can both spouses participate by writing poetry to each other?
What kind of coaching do you provide in this scenario?
What is the cost to enroll?
Lloyd, this sounds so cool. How can someone get more information on this?
If they have a question our would like to reach out to you, maybe to do an interview such as this. How can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, if you are married or in a relationship and you want to draw closer together spiritually like never before – Lloyd Portman has the plan for you! You will be sweeping your spouse off their feet! Amen! This can’t help but draw two people closer together in love. This is a God inspired idea and you need to take action right now! Amen!

Ugly Mug Marketing Wayne Mullins If you are in business – especially if you have an online business – it is almost 100% guaranteed you need a website. In this day and time, a website is the “business card” of just about everyone.
I remember back the late 1980’s when I had my own business… I knew I was professional looking because I had a great business card! Amen! I know I’m showing my age – but if you were doing business back then – you were right there with me! Amen!
If you were pitching a client or prospective client, almost to the person, they would ask, “Do you have a business card?” You better have one… otherwise, you were considered untrustworthy…
Anyway – fast forward 40 years and here we are today! If all you have is a business card, you are running way behind the crowd today…
If you are pitching your services to someone, what are they going to ask in today’s business climate? “Do you have a website?” If you say, “No, but here is my business card…” Well, that’s about as far as you are going to get…
Let’s talk about websites… There are some places that will give you a free website (and it looks like)… there are some places that will use AI to build you a simple website – but good luck trying to personalize to your clients liking…
Then, there is the “do it yourself” crowd out there… and they are really limited in the professionalism and ability to create something spectacular by their own technological limitations. Amen!
But, Brother Bob, those pretty websites may look… pretty… but do they draw in the type of clients I am looking for? Will they convert visitors into clients or will they just be, “pretty?”
To help us tackle this difficult subject, our guest today is the founder of a revolutionary agency that can, not only help you build a website, but build out the other facets of your business, too! You see, just a good looking website is not enough… you need to have a marketing strategy… you need a customer service strategy and other things… and ALL OF THESE need to work together. If one part breaks down or one part is not doing what it is designed to do – your business suffers. Amen!
Wayne Mullins is the founder of “Ugly Mug Marketing!” I love that name… Wayne and his team focus on helping you achieve YOUR desired results. Not just a nice website – that’s just the one aspect. They will help you marketing, social media, events, SEO and the list goes on and on.
Wayne Mullins and his team are “results oriented” in everything they do! This why they believe “Ugly Mug Marketing” can help you build the business of your dreams, too. Amen! Wayne is also the author of the book, “Full Circle Marketing,” as well. Amen!
Help me welcome to the program, Wayne Mullins! Wayne, I’ve been looking forward to this interview and can’t wait to hear all about “Ugly Mug Marketing!”
First question I always start with is, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Wayne Mullins?”
Let’s start with the big elephant in the room… why name your business, “Ugly Mug Marketing?”
What makes you different from other marketing support companies out there?
What are the “three C’s of design” that you talk about on your website?
How do you incorporate all aspects of the marketing message into the website design? I know you have to convert clients to get sales, but you just don’t want a “salesy website.” Right?
What are the five most important questions you can ask about EVERY page on your website?
Each person, each business, had different goals and objectives. Often, those goals and objectives are not properly aligned. Do you help people identify and clarify their business goals as part of your process?
What does “positioning” mean as it relates to our marketing effort and how does “Ugly Mug Marketing” help in that area?
Let’s shift gears here for a minute and transition to your book, “Full Circle Marketing.” Why did you write this book and who is your target reader?
In your book, you share, what you say, are “Marketing strategies that work every single time they are used.” Can you share those strategies with us?
I know you said these strategies work every time they are used… but don’t marketing strategies have to evolve with the times? Back 100 years ago, they had marketing – but it’s not the same as using the internet today… or am I missing something?
Does your book support “Ugly Mug Marketing” or is it the other way around? Or neither?
How can someone obtain a copy of your book? I take it is on Amazon?
Wayne, can you give us a quick success story of a client (they can remain nameless if you want), that will illustrate what you have been sharing with us today?
Wayne, this has been so interesting… I wish we had more time, but we don’t. If someone has a question or would like to get in touch with you or maybe even do an interview such as this – how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below…
Folks, I pray you have received a lot of great information that is going to help YOU achieve your dreams and goals. I know I’ve had my eyes opened to some things today that I have not considered… amen! I pray you have, too.
I urge you to drop down into the show notes and reach out to Wayne Mullins and his team over at “Ugly Mug Marketing.” You will not be disappointed with the results you will receive and the results you will achieve. Amen! Just drop down below and click the links right there! And don’t forget to click the link and order a copy of Wayne’s book, “Full Circle Marketing.” This book will transform your marketing and turn your customers into evangelists… just like the book cover says! Amen!

Leadership in Ministry Don PardumHaving been in leadership positions since the ripe old age of 21 when I was in the military… as an E-4 put in charge of a squad of five men… responsibility, leadership, motivation and accomplishment of the mission has been instilled in me for over 40 years.
Having answered the call to ministry in 1995 and working for a major national music ministry, handling everything from scheduling, to travel to stage management and production, I soon learned the leadership training in ministry was not something taught in Bible School. I praise God that I had the background in leadership because it served me well in those first few years I was involved in large scale ministry operations.
Because of my leadership background, I was quickly identified as a “leader” while at the police academy – and then rose fairly quickly into leadership positions on the department.
Once I retired and entered full time ministry on my own – those skills help to keep me focused, on target, and managing my “team” under me. Although not a church – I still have four others that help me do what we do in ministry. Even though we are not in the same building, but connected all around the country via the internet, it is still up to one person to make sure the job is accomplished… on time, every time and all the time. Me.
Having said all of that, what does things look like when leaders do not know how to lead?
I can sum it all up in two words, “confusion” and “failure.”
In ministry, that can be fatal… not just for the church or ministry, but think about the end product… the accomplishment of the mission (if you want to call it that)… What is that? People are not hearing the Gospel. People are not being ministered to. People are not being saved.
Why? Lack of leadership…
Having said all of that as introduction, our guest today specializes in helping pastors and ministry leaders to excel in something not usually covered in Bible Schools or Seminaries. I bet you can figure out what it is… LEADERSHIP in Ministry! Amen!
The “Faith and Trust Leadership Academy” seeks to fill this gap. Many Pastors today have been thrust into management roles instead of taking on the responsibility for leadership. What has the result been? Over 40 million people have left the evangelical churches. Over 15 million just in the last four years.
Our guest today is Don Pardum is a graduate of the Lancaster Bible College, has attended the Westminster Theological Seminary and the Dallas Theological Seminary. He has been trained under some pretty big names in ministry, Professor Howard Hicks; Chuck Swindoll and others..
To share all about the importance of leadership training in today’s ministries, help me welcome to the program, Don Pardum!
Don, thank you for taking the time to join us today!
I apologize for that long introduction… I guess you can see how passionate I am about leadership, leadership training and all of that…
First question I always ask is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Don Pardum?”
Why did you decide to form “Faith and Trust Leadership Academy?”
As far as ministry goes, what is the difference between “leadership” and “management?”
You share information on the max exodus from churches. What does the data say about the reasons WHY people are leaving the traditional church?
Why do you believe pastors are avoiding or ignoring their own leadership development? It seems like it would be something they would want to pursue…
How does the “Faith and Trust Leadership Academy” fill this void?
Leadership training is not a “check the box” – “I did that already” – type of training. It is a continual process. In the military, it starts in your unit… proceeds to the “Primary Leaders Develop Course” then the NCO Academy, etc. Not to mention the four year Academy’s and Officer Candidate School, etc. And it continues until retirement… it is a never ending process.
How does your program accomplish this “long term” commitment to leadership training while allowing pastors and ministers to pursue their calling to preaching the Gospel, etc.?
This is a “virtual training” program, correct?
How long does it last? What is involved in the training?
Pastor Don, this has been so interesting. How can someone get in touch with you if they have any questions or, maybe they would like to do an interview with you like this? How can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, one of things I’ve observed concerning ministry over the years is a tendancy, in some circles, to “go with what is popular.” Whether it is “come as you are” or “concert like” worship
services; whether it is an hour long service or three hour service… whatever is popular is soon adopted and tried.
WHY?
Often it is because of – and don’t shout me down when I’m preaching good here – a “lack of leadership” in the pulpit.
Thomas Jefferson once said, “I matters of style – go ahead and swim with the current. But on matters of principle, STAND LIKE A ROCK!” Glory to God…
Ephesians 6:13 tells us, “Put on the full armor of God and Having done all to stand – STAND Therefore!”
I like to say, “Having done all to stand – STAND THERE!” Don’t move. Don’t bend. Don’t waiver.
Leaders can do that. Leaders have the backbone to understand that a decision needs to be made. It may not be popular. Leaders are not after popularity contests. They are there for one reason and one reason only – TO LEAD.
If that sounds like something you would like to aspire to – I highly recommend you drop down into the show notes right now – not later… leaders do not waiver… if a decision is going to be made, they make it… drop down into the show notes right and demonstrate YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A LEADER…
Click the links right there and reach out to Don Pardum and the “Faith and Trust Leadership Academy” right now. No hesitation. No waivering. Just DO IT.
Amen!

Reigning with Jesus TS Wright Can there be any doubt that we are living in, what the Bible describes as, “The Last Days?”
What is especially concerning to me is how the entire world is coming against Israel right now – when all they are doing is reacting to an unprovoked, barbaric attack on innocent civilians. The United Nations is even trying to impose their authority over Israel’s sovereignty! Just over the last day or so, the UN has “demanded Israel stop all attacks on Rafa and withdraw from the area.”
Three nations came out and “demanded” a “two state solution” – in effect, telling Israel to “surrender” to Hamas.
In addition, there is the radical leftists in Congress who also want Israel to surrender and give land to the terrorists…
In case you haven’t read your Bible, this is the exact scenario depicted in the Book of the Revelation that will take place in the End Times.
If there was ever any doubt that we are living in the last of the last days – what we see happening right now should prove it! Amen!
Scott Wright is the author of the “God Centered Concept Journal” and has a unique insight into prophecy and the end times.
Help me welcome back to the program, Scott Wright! Scott, it’s great to have you back on with us today!
If there was ever a doubt that we are drawing closer and closer to the soon return of Jesus, I just don’t think any rational person could doubt it any longer… do you?
As we are recording this today, the jury will receive the case to deliberate in the third world trial of Donald Trump. There are hundreds of tornadoes that swept across the United States these last few days, killing and destroying, in some cases, entire towns in their wake. We have inflation running rampant; crime in the streets; emptying of prisons, what is right is called wrong – what the Bible says is wrong is called right…I could go on and on…
Bottom line – really, truly, in my opinion, the ONLY thing we can look forward to IS the “Return of Jesus” at this point… what do you think?
With that being said, we do have a promise given to believers by Jesus Himself… in Revelation 3:21, we read, “To him that overcomes, I will grant to sit WITH ME on MY THRONE, even as I overcame and have sit down with my Father on His Throne.”
Share how all of this relates together and what we will be able to look forward to in the very near future (according to this verse)…
How does all of this relate to what we opened with – the “End Times?”
Abraham Lincoln once said, “All the armies of Europe and Asia...could not by force take a drink from the Ohio River…No, if destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men, we will live forever or die by suicide.”
I think the rope is already around the neck of this nation and we are teetering on the edge of the chair – right now.
You’ve heard me say before, it really does not matter WHO wins this next election…in my opinion, and this is just my thoughts on the matter – if Biden wins, the USA will become a third world nation… if Trump wins, I believe World War 3 is on the horizon… and one EMP, well placed, will throw the United States back into the 1700’s lifestyle in just one day… and we will be forever cast off. I truly believe that is the reason the United States is not mentioned as an end time player in the Bible… Again, just my opinion… but there it is…
BUT – it’s not ALL doom and gloom… why? Because WE have a promise… that promise is Eternal Life. It may not be “happy days are here again” – but it will be “Happy Days” when we get to Heaven.
As we get ready to close, what are your thoughts, Scott?

Three Proofs of God James Brown Have you ever tried to conduct your own Bible study about timelines in the Bible? Especially trying to calculate the “Soon Return of Jesus?” It’s difficult to do… and when you finish – or at least when I finish – my notes are so jumbled, I’m more confused than when I started… Amen!
Well, today we are going to have a very special discussion on the soon return of Jesus! We are living in times where many are wondering just how close we are to this pivotal moment.
To help us dive into this topic, I am thrilled to introduce our special guest, James Brown, the esteemed author of "Three Proofs of God." His book provides detailed information on the prophetic timeline of the first coming of Jesus, the timeline of His life, and most intriguingly, the timeline of His soon return.
James has pinpointed exact dates that bring new insights into our understanding of these events. He’s conducted detailed research and I'm excited to get into today's interview and explore the profound implications of these timelines.
Join us as we uncover the signs, prophecies, and current events that point towards the fulfillment of this significant promise. Amen!
Help me welcome to the program, James Brown! James, I do appreciate your time today and I can’t tell you how much I’ve been looking forward to today’s interview!
First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is James Brown?”
Three Proofs of God presents a new and surprisingly precise solution to Daniel’s passage and verifies it using objective evidence. This solution confirms God’s existence, Jesus’ Messiahship, and Scripture’s reliability.
Your book is unique… I’ve never encountered one that goes into so much detail – but makes it easy to comprehend what you are sharing… What motivated you to write this type of book?
How long did it take you from concept to publication?
In the Bible, Jesus directly asked us to understand a key passage from the prophet Daniel. To this day, people have not yet fully agreed on that passage’s precise meaning. Why do you think that is?
Share with us the “Three Proofs of God?” What are they?
You’ve demonstrated in your book that the “Seventy Weeks of Daniel” are accurate… very accurate.
That being the case, can you give us the “window” of the “Return of Jesus?” Are we “in that window now?”
There have been many different books over the years that tried to pinpoint these dates… why did they get it wrong all of this time?
One thing I’ve noticed lately is the prophecy coming true that “the entire world” will be against Israel. Recently, the United Nations, the United States and other nations have come out against Israel, basically “demanding” they surrender to Hamas by stopping all military action and leave Rapha and the Gaza Strip. The Prime Minister issued a statement that said, basically, that “Israel would fight on by itself if necessary.”
Do you see the Hamas war as something that was included in your book?
You have a QR code for each chapter. Can you explain how that benefits the reader?
Your book, “The Three Proofs of God” – how can someone obtain a copy of your book? Is it on Amazon?
James, this all so interesting… I could keep picking your brain for hours… but we are about out of time. If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or do an interview like this – how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below…
Folks, I have never seen a detailed outline of the arguments put for the timeline of Biblical events – all of which we KNOW have been prophesied to lead to the “Soon Return of Jesus” – but have not had an understandable presentation of them. This book, the “Three Proofs of God” is that book we have been waiting for! Amen!
I highly recommend you drop down into the show notes, right now, and get this book into your hands as soon as possible. In fact, order two or three books and pass them out to friends… give one to your pastor. Amen!

Self-Publishing Made Easy Michele DeFilippoHow many of you have traversed the unfriendly seas of self-publishing a book? I know I have. Being a published author is awesome! It gives you authority, credibility, etc. It can also give you some extra income, and in some cases – great income!
But it can also become a nightmare…
Book publishing used to be simple, but not anymore. Authors browsing the internet are unaware that a publisher is unnecessary and that hiring one can significantly reduce their income from book sales. Too many authors become victims of unscrupulous companies that abuse their trust, and some of the worst offenders are "Christian" publishing companies that deliberately target people of faith.
Just remember the warning Jesus gave us, “Beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing.” Amen!
That is the reason for our interview today with a woman who is out to change that narrative and actually HELP authors – Christian authors – to navigate those dangerous seas and arrive safely at the ultimate destination of having your own book, self-published, and maximize your earnings potential at the same time.
Michele DeFilippo is the owner of 1106 Design where she offers "assisted self-publishing." This service provides aspiring authors with the necessary services to create quality books and distribute them directly, without a publisher, to earn more money.
Folks, this is not a new idea. It's what indie publishing was meant to be before the message was buried in misinformation.
1106 Design is a one-stop source that has produced over four thousand books since 2001 and earned an outstanding industry reputation. With over 50 years of personal experience in publishing, Michele can highlight questions authors may not ask as they evaluate providers online.
Help me welcome to the program, Michele DeFilippo! Michele, thank you taking the time to join us today and talk about this important topic!
First question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Michele DeFilippo?
What does the “1106” stand for?
You’ve been doing this kind of work a long time. How has publishing changed over the years?
When I published my “Marriage Ceremony Handbook” eight or more years ago, I searched on Google, etc. and was just overwhelmed at the number of self-publishing companies available back then… it must be even worse today, correct?
Your company kind of “fills the gap” between independent publishing and full service publishers, correct?
You use an example of Print on Demand and Self-Publishing – that references needing a medical procedure done and going to the library and checking out medical text book… can you share that example with us?
Can you share with us a little bit about the process you take prospective clients through when they work with you?
What is the number one mistake you see new authors make when it comes to getting their book published?
What about editing? To me, it was fairly easy to get the original manuscript finished… then it took me another year to edit it where I finally said, “Enough already” and hit print. Does your company offer help in editing?
Explain the “Full Service Project Management Team.” What is that, how does it work?
Let’s move into marketing… We have the book written… we now have it edited and ready to print… the cover, everything is looking good…
How are we going to market it? For me, way back when, I just threw it up on Amazon and let the algorithm do its thing… which took a couple of years before it started churning out monthly income… I know that was the hard way… How do you go about helping in the marketing effort?
You also have a story about Pumpernickel bread. Can you share that example with us?
What about these people showing on Fox News and the morning shows? How do they get their 90 seconds of fame and promotion and is it available for everyone?
What about someone who has a book written… maybe just published through Amazon Publishing or whatever – can they join your team and “republish” the book after it gets all cleaned up and improved through your team?
Michele, this is so interesting – I could sit here and pick your brain for hours…One, because you make it interesting and TWO – there is a definite need out there! I interview authors all of the time who are trying to “Get the Word Out” about their books… I know your information is important.
If someone has a question, probably because we did not have time to cover it – or we did and they want more information on you can help them, how can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, as you heard Michele DeFilippo share, 1106 Design provides end-to-end book design, production and publishing services for independent authors who seek all the quality of traditional publishing without forfeiting their rights and royalties in return. In addition to that important aspect, they provide coaching services; all kinds of help in development, cover design, editing and even some marketing assistance.
If you have, right now, a book you are ready to publish or perhaps one you want to have “republished” – you definitely need to drop down into the show notes and reach out to Michele DeFilippo and her team at 1106 Design. Amen!
Just drop down into the show notes and click the links right there. Do it right now, while you are thinking about it… don’t put it off – that’s what you’ve been doing for years now… contact Michele and her team, right now! Amen!

The Fragrance of Jesus Scott WrightScott Wright is back today and last time he was on, we had a great discussion about the “Anointing of Jesus” – what was involved and the symbology, etc. There were a lot of interesting things brought out during that discussion… if you missed it, go back to the archives and dig it out. Amen.
Today, and we are going to be talking about some very interesting things which we just “breezed over” during the last program – but are also a very important component of the worship of Jesus – and that is the aroma or “FRAGANCE” of Jesus.
What are we talking about, “The Fragrance of Jesus?” Well, to find out, help me welcome back to the program, Scott Wright!
Scott, it’s good to have you again – I’ve been looking forward to the conversation today!
The Bible discusses the aroma of the offerings and things like that… being a “sweet smell” to God. Does all this relate to the “Altar of Incense?”
How is the aroma of offerings a worship of the Father?
But Jesus body was not burned… how does this relate to Jesus having the perfect “fragrance offering” to the Father?
What about us? How does this “fragrance” or “aroma” relate to us worshipping the Father?
How does all of this relate to the end times?
What should we, as Christians, take from this discussion today?
Scott, this has been so interesting. I love doing “deep dives” into different, well, let’s just call them, “God Centered Concepts” of the Bible and of Worship. If someone wants more information or would like to ask a question, how can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below…
Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Scott Wright. Get in touch with him. Subscribe to his podcast. And be sure to purchase his journal and start learning all about the “God Centered Concepts” that he specializes in. Amen!
Do it right now before you forget about it later. Amen!

To My Spouse I Write Lloyd Portman I’ve known our guest today for quite some time. He and I joke that we are “twins.” We were born on the same day, only in different time zones and opposite ends of the earth! Amen!
Lloyd Portman is a Christian entrepreneur for “down under” in New Zealand. He is the founder of a magnificent website and coaching program called, “To My Spouse I Write.” It is designed to draw couples even closer together in ways that, well – only God can tell. Amen!

To share all about this great program, help me welcome to the program, my great friend, Lloyd Portman. Lloyd – Praise God, welcome to the show!
First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Lloyd Portman?”
I know that you were born again milking cows, is that right? Did a cow kick you in the head and you heard God, or what?
You also felt called to the ministry. For most people, myself included, when that happens, you think you have to go through the normal progression… go to Bible school, assistant pastor somewhere… eventually have your own church…
Tell us about your new program, “To My Spouse I Write.” What is this about and how does it work?
Is this for one spouse or can both spouses participate by writing poetry to each other?
What kind of coaching do you provide in this scenario?
What is the cost to enroll?
Lloyd, this sounds so cool. How can someone get more information on this?
If they have a question our would like to reach out to you, maybe to do an interview such as this. How can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, if you are married or in a relationship and you want to draw closer together spiritually like never before – Lloyd Portman has the plan for you! You will be sweeping your spouse off their feet! Amen! This can’t help but draw two people closer together in love. This is a God inspired idea and you need to take action right now! Amen!
Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Lloyd. See if this isn’t something you have been dreaming of. A way to touch the heart of your significant other like never before. This is way too cool to just pass up. Amen!

Sparky the Broken Mirror Joe SchimmelSince 1987 Pastor Joe Schimmel has been equipping Christians with the truth of God’s word. His testimony of the transforming power of Jesus Christ in his own life can be seen in his powerful exposé, They Sold Their Souls for Rock n Roll. This presentation has been heard during live presentations at churches around the world in which he describes his own deliverance from the bondage and satanic influence of Rock Music at the age of 18.
In addition to the video production, “They Sold Their Souls for Rock & Roll,” Good Fight Ministries has produced other film and television exposés, including “Marvel & DC’s War on God,” and “Hollywood’s War on God,” among others.
Joe has been on our program a couple of times before and it is always a blessing to have him share this information with us. Today, we will be talking about something new! A book written with sharing the Gospel in a simple way… so simple – even children can do it! He has published a book titled, “Sparky the Broken Mirror.”
With that being said, help me welcome back to the program, Pastor Joe Schimmel!
Pastor Joe, thank you for taking the time to come back on and join us today!
For the sake of those who may not have heard our previous interviews, maybe new listeners, etc., can you share with us, other than that brief information I just shared, “Who is Joe Schimmel?”
You’ve done some pretty serious documentaries and videos in the past… But in “Sparky the Broken Mirror,” you took a more light hearted aspect…
Why is a book like Sparky so needed today?
How did you come up with the idea for Sparky the Broken Mirror?
As you were writing, “Sparky the Broken Mirror,” was it written to have society at large “looking in the mirror” (excuse the pun)?
In the opening, we mentioned the big thing right now is “gender dysphoria.” A lot of Children's books are targeting our kids with false information like this. Sparky is doing just the opposite. Can you explain for how your book is battling the false information narrative?One of the characters in the book is the King. In this story, does the King represent Jesus?At the end of your book, you have something called the “Good News” pages. Why did you add them to the end of the book?Pastor Joe, as always, you’ve given us a lot of things to think about. But this book, “Sparky the Broken Mirror” is awesome. I appreciate you coming on the program and sharing with us. If someone wanted to obtain a copy, or two or three or six for their kids or grandkids, how can they do that? Is it on Amazon?

Sparky the Broken Mirror Joe SchimmelSince 1987 Pastor Joe Schimmel has been equipping Christians with the truth of God’s word. His testimony of the transforming power of Jesus Christ in his own life can be seen in his powerful exposé, They Sold Their Souls for Rock n Roll. This presentation has been heard during live presentations at churches around the world in which he describes his own deliverance from the bondage and satanic influence of Rock Music at the age of 18.
In addition to the video production, “They Sold Their Souls for Rock & Roll,” Good Fight Ministries has produced other film and television exposés, including “Marvel & DC’s War on God,” and “Hollywood’s War on God,” among others.
Joe has been on our program a couple of times before and it is always a blessing to have him share this information with us. Today, we will be talking about something new! A book written with sharing the Gospel in a simple way… so simple – even children can do it! He has published a book titled, “Sparky the Broken Mirror.”
With that being said, help me welcome back to the program, Pastor Joe Schimmel!
Pastor Joe, thank you for taking the time to come back on and join us today!
For the sake of those who may not have heard our previous interviews, maybe new listeners, etc., can you share with us, other than that brief information I just shared, “Who is Joe Schimmel?”
You’ve done some pretty serious documentaries and videos in the past… But in “Sparky the Broken Mirror,” you took a more light hearted aspect…
Why is a book like Sparky so needed today?
How did you come up with the idea for Sparky the Broken Mirror?
As you were writing, “Sparky the Broken Mirror,” was it written to have society at large “looking in the mirror” (excuse the pun)?
In the opening, we mentioned the big thing right now is “gender dysphoria.” A lot of Children's books are targeting our kids with false information like this. Sparky is doing just the opposite. Can you explain for how your book is battling the false information narrative?One of the characters in the book is the King. In this story, does the King represent Jesus?At the end of your book, you have something called the “Good News” pages. Why did you add them to the end of the book?Pastor Joe, as always, you’ve given us a lot of things to think about. But this book, “Sparky the Broken Mirror” is awesome. I appreciate you coming on the program and sharing with us. If someone wanted to obtain a copy, or two or three or six for their kids or grandkids, how can they do that? Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you or “Good Fight Ministries,” how can they do that?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.

Healing as a Survivor of Sexual Assault May Alirad pt 2As an immigrant from Laos with her family, May Alirad was hoping to live the American dream… but, at age 7 she experienced her “first” sexual assault. I say “first” intentionally. Because it continued by several people, on and off, until she was 32 years of age.
After 30 years of unintentionally living as a victim of multiple sexual assaults, May finally found freedom from guilt, shame, embarrassment, fear, and condemnation. This happened when she was in a prayer group and everyone was praying for her. Amen.
May went to work and actively put faith in her ability to heal and help others do the same. May is now sharing this proven, life-tested, (not time tested, but LIFE-TESTED), personally verifiable approach - with you.
She is the author of a great book titled, “Was I Assaulted – My Guide to Healing as a Survivor.”
This is part two and the conclusion of a very, very important interview on a very sensitive topic - please pay attention and share this interview with those whom you believe may benefit...Let’s talk about your book, “Was I Assaulted – My Guide to Healing as a Survivor.”
One of your chapters is called “Boundaries.” What kind of boundaries would have helped you in your younger years that wish you could have had in place?
I know there are the “7 Steps of Grief” when we lose a loved one. Is there anything like that which victims of sexual assault go through?
Why did you decide to put all of this into your book, “Was I Assaulted – My Guide to Healing as a Survivor?”
There was a story I heard you tell that, I believe will truly help someone listening to us right now. Can you share with us about “Little May?”
You also have some information you share about HOW someone should respond “if and when” someone comes to them and shares they have been sexually assaulted. What to say and what “not to say” in that time and situation. Can share that with us?
May, this is so interesting and I know that this book, “Was I Assaulted – My Guide to Healing as a Survivor” is going to help a lot of women who suffer as you did. My prayer is that it will reach even more than you ever realize. Amen.
How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “Was I Assaulted – My Guide to Healing as a Survivor?” I take it is on Amazon, correct?
If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or possibly do an interview such as this… or possibly to sign up for your coaching session that may have experienced some of the things you have shared. How can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links for all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, my prayer is you NEVER have to experience things which May Alirad did. But, the fact of the matter is, many, many, too many of you – have.
But you can experience this freedom that May Alirad has. She has a calling on her life to help you “GET THERE.” Amen! This book, “Was I Assaulted – My Guide to Healing as a Survivor” is part of that process of helping those of you that have been sexually abused.

Help me welcome to the program, May Alirad. May, it is such a blessing to have you come on the program and share your story – helping, I know, many of our listeners.
First, I always start with this question. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is May Alirad?”
What age were you when you immigrated to the United States?
What was the first memory you have of the United States?
What was your family life like when you were growing up?
In your book, you share the first sexual assault happened at about the age of 7. Did you tell anyone after it happened or did you keep it to yourself?
Age 7 is quite young. Did this continue through your childhood and teenage years?
Looking back now, why do you think you kept it to yourself all of those years?
You have a unique take when you begin to ask “Why God” let this happen to you. Can you share that with us?
What was the point when you finally decided it was time to take back control of your life and what steps did you take?
Let’s talk about your book, “Was I Assaulted – My Guide to Healing as a Survivor.”
One of your chapters is called “Boundaries.” What kind of boundaries would have helped you in your younger years that wish you could have had in place?

Sensory Friends Christine GoulbourneOften, special needs families are unable to attend church services or participate in faith-based and community events due to challenging barriers like, access (ramps and space to accommodate their equipment, etc.), sensitivity and acceptance of intellectual differences and appearances, accommodations needed and more. This sadly leaves the disability community disconnected and isolated. It continues to isolate and ostracize members of the disability community and their families even more.
Which is why our guest is here today to help us understand this and how she is helping to “Get the Word Out” about how we – who are not familiar with what they go through on a daily basis, can better understand and offer help.
Christine Goulbourne is a special needs mom, advocate, and writer. She started a blog about eight years ago to help other families like theirs. Her son, Richie, she says, is a great guy who is intelligent, funny and has autism. Their family is actively involved in supporting the disability community and their families.
She has a business called, “Sensory Friends.” She helps special needs parents navigate the comprehensive and often confusing special education processes. She does this by providing resources and information to parents and family members on how to become inclusion advocates for their children.
She is also an author of children’s book, “God, Can You Hear My Non-Speaking Voice?” – which we will discussing today.
Help me welcome to the program, Christian Goulbourne. Christine, thank you for taking the time to join us today…
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Christine Goulbourne?”
Share with us about your son, Richie.
You have been a special needs advocate for over 20 years. How has things changed, for better or worse, during that time?
You have spoken at conferences about how to use “Positive Behavior Support” processes for dealing with challenging behavior issues. Can you explain that for us?
Let’s talk about your book, “God, Can You Hear My Non-Speaking Voice?” Why did you write this book and how has it been received?
What is the biggest takeaway you would like anyone who reads this book to remember?
Share with us about your business, “Sensory Friends.” What is that and what services do you provided through this website, etc.?
What is something you would like our listeners to know that they probably do not know or understand, when it comes to children with disabilities such as autism and things like that?
You have something special you would like to see churches do when they have a family come into the church with a special needs child. Can you share with us what that is?
You also have a second book right now. I believe it is called, “The Rabbit in the Window.” Can you share a little about that book with us?
Your current book, “God, Can You Hear My Non-Speaking Voice?” - how can someone obtain that book? Is it on Amazon?
Is “Rabbit in the Window” available on Amazon as well.
Christine, this has been so interesting and educational. I do appreciate you taking the time to come on and share with us. If someone has a question or would like to get in touch with you, maybe to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone reach out to you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes as well.
Folks, this has been such an interesting, and I believe an educational, conversation with Christine Goulbourne. I want to urge you to drop down into the show notes and get in touch with her. Find out how YOU can become a advocate for those with disabilities in your area.
Get in touch with her right now and you may qualify to receive one of the FREE copies she is providing to our listeners, right now. Amen!
You definitely need to order her book, “God, Can You Hear My Non-Speaking Voice?” Just drop down into the show notes and click the link right there. I’ll also put “Rabbit in the Window” link down below as well.

Victorious Spiritual Warfare So Simple Grandma Can Do It – Maureen Broderson pt 2How many grandmothers out there are interceding for their children and grandchildren? Let’s not just leave it grandma’s – how many grandfathers are out there interceding, too? Praise God! I’m a grandpa to 7 grandkids – and I pray for them every single day, often multiple times a day! Amen!
The reason I ask this question is simple… out guest today is the author of a magnificent book titled, “Victorious Spiritual Warfare – So Simple, Grandma Can Do It!” Amen!
I’m telling you folks, I read this book through and, don’t tell anyone, but there’s stuff in there that will preach…amen! Praise God!
Maureen Broderson is the author of this great book and is an ordained minister in the Foursquare Church and serves on the pastoral ministry team at “The Church on the Way” in Van Nuys, California. She is also a Certified John Maxwell Team Coach, speaker, trainer and a Certified Human Behavior Consultant with Personality Insights, Inc.
To be honest, sometimes (and more often that most people would admit to), we are “our own worst enemy” when it comes to putting ourself in a situation that allows the enemy to attack us. Have you seen this in your ministry as you help folks identify problems, etc. with Spiritual Warfare?
The Bible has many examples of Spiritual Warfare. But you also list “multiple streams of deliverance” as well. Can you share a few examples of this?
Yes, Jesus won the Victory. The war has been won. But now we are, basically the mop up crew and the “occupying force” until He returns. The enemy still wants to fight. That is what we are talking about here. Can you share about the “reality of the conflict and God’s intention for the role we play in this conflict?”
Maureen, this has been so interesting. I just have one more question for you. One that I found so interesting in your book and I just have to have you share this with our audience… Tell us about the “Tuna Salad” story and how that relates to everything we just shared…
Folks, as I’ve stated over and over – this book is AWESOME. Maureen, how can someone obtain a copy of “Victorious Spiritual Warfare – So Simple, Grandma Can Do It?” I take it is on Amazon?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or receive more information or possibly to do an interview such as this – how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, we may have a little fun with the topics here today… but I want you to realize, Spiritual Warfare is real. 100% real. It is not something to “dabble with” or “have some fun with.” It is life and death. That is not meant to scare you off… absolutely not.
It is meant to have you understand the seriousness of the situation. We can see evidence all around us of the magnitude of the spiritual battle taking place. It’s all over the news, social media, in the schools, etc. This is not a time to go and hide our heads in the sand. No, it is a time to stand up and fight.
It is a time to learn how to fight in the spirit world. It’s not just “in the sweet by and by.” We need to deal with the “rotten here and now.” Amen!
Maureen’s book, “Victorious Spiritual Warfare – So Simple, Grandma Can Do It!” is a great first step you can take to gain a better understanding of this important spiritual weaponry we have at our disposal. Amen!
Drop down into the show notes right now and click the links there to get in touch with Maureen Broderson – and be sure to click the link to get this great book, “Victorious Spiritual Warfare – So Simple, Grandma Can Do It!” into your hands right now! I’m can’t stress the importance of this enough. Do it right now. Drop down below and click the links…
Don’t wait! That voice telling you to “wait until later – you don’t have time now…” Let me ask you… do you think that is the Voice of the Holy Spirit speaking… or some “low level devil” that does not want you to get your hands on this book? Amen! Don’t shout me down when I’m preaching good! Praise God… Order this book – right now! Amen!

I’ve been looking forward for today ever since she sent me this book. I’m telling you folks, there is some great stuff in here that you will want wrap your spiritual minds around… but more on that in a bit… One person wrote that Maureen, “takes the subject of Spiritual Warfare off the shelves of theology books and onto the coffee table of every believer.” Praise God!
Help me welcome to the program, Maureen Broderson!
Maureen, it is a blessing to have you join us today! Thank you for taking the time out of your schedule to come on the program today and talk all about your great book and Spiritual Warfare…
First question I always start with is this… Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell is in your own words, “Who is Maureen Broderson?”
How long have you been involved with Spiritual Warfare… let me rephrase that… EVERYONE is involved in Spiritual Warfare our entire life… but how long have you been teaching people about how to be victorious in Spiritual Warfare?
As you have outlined in your book, Jesus secured the victory for us in Spiritual Warfare at Cavalry. We fight FROM victory, not for victory. But how can someone who may not be as actively involved in ministry and spiritual warfare gain the wisdom to “know how to fight this battle?”
In the military, we trained as we would fight. In other words, make the training as tough as we could and as realistic as we could. Then, when the real battle erupts around us, we are going through, basically muscle memory tasks that we know will bring us to a place of victory.
How can Christians learn this type of reaction in the Spiritual Warfare realm and gain the experience to “know that you know that you know” what to do in situations that require you to “take a stand” in Spiritual Warfare?
I’ve known a few ministers that, let’s just say, “wanted to engage in Spiritual Warfare” and thought they had it all figured out. But, once they engaged in the actual battle – found out they were not as prepared as they thought
Being in the military for so long, and then my career in law enforcement, I often found myself in some, let’s say interesting situations that could have gone south in an instant. But, through training, I had the ability to read certain situations, tell-tale signs that an individual would start to do which indicated something was about to happen – and I would be prepared for it and react almost instantaneously. Praise God for that training…
In Spiritual Warfare, I guess we could relate that to “hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit” telling us “something is up…” Is it possible to learn to hear that “inner voice” well enough to protect us from demonic attacks, etc.?
To be honest, sometimes (and more often that most people would admit to), we are “our own worst enemy” when it comes to putting ourself in a situation that allows the enemy to attack us. Have you seen this in your ministry as you help folks identify problems, etc. with Spiritual Warfare?
Folks, we may have a little fun with the topics here today… but I want you to realize, Spiritual Warfare is real. 100% real. It is not something to “dabble with” or “have some fun with.” It is life and death. That is not meant to scare you off… absolutely not.

Secrets Beneath ScarsCyndi BrecAs a child, Cyndi Brec is a Christian who grew up struggling through school. She was diagnosed with learning disabilities and dyslexia and had to attend the “learning disabilities class.” But she never let that hold her back.
She became a “Recreational Therapy Technician” that helped the mentally challenged elderly folks – and she has incorporated some of those experiences into her stories as well.
Fast forward and she met and married the man of her dreams, and they purchased a 200 year old mill and built their home out of a “blacksmith shop.” That’s not something you see everyday. Amen!
Cyndi enjoys her writing and sets a struggling, affection and tension building pace in her writings. Full of conspiracies, intrigues and little twists on historical facts mixed in. All of this involves the mysterious ancient world in her “Theran’s Series.” Her first book in the series is titled, “The Secrets Beneath Scars.” Although not released as of today, as we do this interview, I’m sure it will be soon. Amen!
Help me welcome to the program, Cyndi Brec! Cyndi, thank you for taking the time to come on the program today!
First question I always start with is this… Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Cyndi Brec?”
I would like to cover this next question first. I think it is important for our listeners to hear this before we get into some other topics.
Your books are not, let’s just say, “Christian” books… they have a dark side to them. As a Christian, why are writing fiction books revolving around evil and mystical things?
So, you grew up, and are, a Christian. But, growing up you struggled in school. At what age did you find out you had a learning disability and you were dyslexic?
Look at you now – writing a series of books! Did you use writing as a way to overcome your disability?
Who says God can’t can take someone that everyone says “No way” when He is always the One who says, “I AM the WAY?” AMEN!
I understand your grandmother is the one who continued to impart a little encouragement to you along the way. What did she say that stuck with you?
Now, tell us about your series, “The Theran’s.” And about the first book in the series, “The Secrets Beneath Scars.” What are these about?
You actually have a couple of the books written… but none are published as of yet. When do you think that will happen?
From what I’ve read, you enjoy taking some “facts” and twisting them just a little to build the tension and the intrigue of your stories. You like to involve history in your stories. Why is that and how do you do it to build the story?
Prior to publication, are you putting up a “pre-order” page? Or a page where your followers can get little bite size tidbits of the books to generate interest?
What is one of the big takeaway’s you would like the readers of your books to receive?
I do have one more question I have to ask…
You have a dog named after a famous scientist, correct?
You’ve included Tesla into your book, too?
Has he done anything to “shake the neighborhood” (so to speak)? You do get what I was referring to? Care to share that tidbit of history lore with our audience?
Cyndi, this is so interesting. I can’t wait to see your book out there. You’ll have to let me know when it gets published and I’ll update the show notes and blast it back out.
If someone has a question or would like more information or would like to ask you a question, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, Cyndi Brec is onto something here. We see television stories all of the time taking something that happened in real life and twisting it with fiction. It’s about time authors starting doing this. I believe Cyndi Brec is onto something here.
Drop down into the show notes and reach out to her. Get on her email list so you will be notified of updates on the release of her books. Help her to get to number ONE when it goes LIVE. Amen!

True Grace of God Pastor Chad WagnerThere are many voices in the world and most of them are of deceiving spirits. The Bible is clear on that. In fact, there is only ONE VOICE we need to listen to and that is voice of Jesus as we hear by the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen!
When we learn to discern the promptings of the Holy Spirit, we are able to minister to others and pray effectively with others. We are able to discern between “good and evil” and when things being presented are not Biblically grounded in the Word of God or when things are actually proclaiming the Truth from the Word of God.
One man who has taken this to the next level is Pastor Chad Wagner. Chad is the pastor of the “Excelsior Springs Church” which is an Independent Baptist Church located in Excelsior Springs, Missouri.
Chad is also the author of a great book titled, “The True Grace of God.” This book uses scripture to expound upon the “True Grace of God” while refuting the errors of both Arminianism and Calvinism. Amen!
To open this great discussion, help me welcome to the program Pastor Chad Wagner! Pastor, thank you for taking the time to join us today!
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Chad Wagner?”
In preparing for our interview today, I noticed you were in the Army and even trained at Fort Bliss, Texas, my old stomping grounds for a few years. What was your MOS in the Army?
I always take the time to honor those who served this nation in the military. So thank you for your service. The military veterans hold a special place in my heart, mainly because of my 12 years of service as well. But I just wanted to take that minute to honor your service.
Let’s talk about your book, “The True Grace of God.” Why did you write this book and why publish it now?
One thing I found on your website is the definition of salvation from Jesus’ own Words, where he said in John 3:36, “…he that believes on the Son HAS eternal life.” Not “gets eternal life” but HAS it – already! Because Faith comes by HEARING and true hearing ONLY COMES by the Word of God. Share with our audience how that revelation became true for you…
How did the Lord grow your faith as you studied scriptures in preparing the manuscript for this book?
Explain the layout of “The True Grace of God.” From what I took away, you take certain topics and then discuss them from what the Bible has to say, plainly, in scripture… then compare the Arminian and the Calvinistic positions on the same scriptures. Correct?
What is the #1 takeaway you would like your readers to understand after reading “The True Grace of God?”
This sounds like a book that needs to be on the book shelves and desks of pastors around the country. They may have their toes stepped on though when reading the Truth’s contained in your book. But I always say in my sermons, “If you don’t want your toes stepped on, don’t put your feet out from under the desk.” Amen!
Pastor, how can someone obtain a copy of your book, “The True Grace of God?” Is it on Amazon?
If someone has a question or would like to reach out to you, perhaps to do an interview such as this, how can they contact you? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, Pastor Chad Wagner has written the Truth of the Word of God plainly in his great book, “The True Grace of God.” You need to get this book for your own personal study time. I don’t care what denomination you are in. I don’t care what you call yourself… If you say you are a Christian, that means you are commanded to study the Scriptures for ourselves.
Jesus said so in His own words in John 5:39 where he said, “Search the scriptures. For in them you THINK you have eternal life. And they are which testify of ME.” Praise God. Amen!
Another one is 2 Timothy 2:15 which says, “Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, RIGHTLY DIVIDING the Word of Truth.” Praise God… you can only do that if you have the resources available to you!

The Anointing of Jesus Scott WrightIn the Old Testament, the High Priest was “anointed with oil” as he took his office. This anointing oil was a mixture of several, very expensive oils and fragrant spices. Before we get into this, I want you to imagine something here…
Now, just imagine, if someone poured just one the little squirt bottles of perfume on you in a store (by accident, I hope)… but the entire bottle. Imagine how strong that fragrance would be…
Now, imagine you had a BIG important meeting you had to attend, no backing out, no excuses, in 10 minutes. And the meeting would last a few hours.
What would people say as you were entering the conference room? Imagine if you were one of the attendees in the conference room – and someone else had the perfume poured on them?
Back to the High Priest… this oil was literally, poured over his head – not just a little dab… but the equivalent of about 3 gallons.
His hair and beard was totally soaked. His raiment and clothing was totally saturated. It was so soaked, the oils would stick his clothing to his skin – making the skin soaked! (You know how you get caught in a heavy rain downpour and you are 100% soaked and you have to change clothes? It’s more than that)!
But, that was just the anointing ceremony. He did not change out his clothing until the end of the entire process – taking several hours.
Even after he changed clothes, the fragrance would remain on him… for a long time… despite showers and washing – it would remain for close to a week.
How do I know?
When I was a Bible School back in 1998, we were studying this. Our professors were able to obtain samples of the formula used to make the “anointing oil.” They could only make about 2 or 3 ounces – which cost the school a few hundred dollars for that. The most expensive ingredient was the “frankincense and myrrh.” They would cost about $1000 each for the concoction. And that was just two of the six or so elements…
Our class drew lots and one person was selected to be “anointed.” He was told to wear clothes he was willing to throw away the next day – because the smell would never go out of it.
We held a ceremony that would have reflected what the High Priest went through… and then they poured the oils over this student. It took about 5 minutes to pour the oil. You don’t rush it. You don’t want to splatter all over the ground.
You start at the head and just pour it slowly… allowing it to soak in the clothing, etc. Almost none should fall on the ground…
Every time he walked into the classroom for the next week, the entire room would have that fragrance smell. If you got close to him for the next few weeks, you could still smell it… like a light aftershave or perfume smell… two or three weeks later.
That is what the word “anointing means.” Christ is NOT Jesus’ last name. Christ means “The Anointed One and HIS Anointing.” Every time you read the words, “Christ Jesus or Jesus Christ” you should “translate and meditate” on the meaning in the scripture you are reading. It is saying, “Jesus, the Anointed One and His Anointing” or it is saying “The Anointed One and His Anointing, Jesus.”
Now, was does it mean to be “anointed?”
To anoint someone means to “pour over, rub into and smear all over.” That is what the word “anointing” in English. Amen!
So, if we have the anointing of Christ on us – we have Jesus, “poured all over us, rubbed into us and smeared all over!” Amen! That means HE is part of US. Amen! Praise God! Don’t shout me down when I’m preaching good.
OK… let me stop there, at least for now… Praise God… Today, we are going to look at an anointing that took place.
Mary of Bethany, sister to Martha and Lazareth, poured, what Mathew called “Nard” – it was an expensive perfume, all over Jesus. This jar of perfume was usually given to a girl to save for her wedding. It cost about 300 denari… or 300 days of wages. Almost one year of salary. That means, in today’s value, it would have cost about $40-$50,000! Imagine what people would think if YOU offered that kind of offering to a ministry today! Amen! To send your offering to Brother Bob, you can click the donation link on our website… AMEN!
Anyway, this jar was not as much as the High Priest was anointed with… but it still put a pretty good smell loose in that house. Amen! Now you see why Judas was so upset… anyway….
I guess you’ve figured out by now what we will be talking about today. Amen!
Scott Wright is back today and we are going to talk about some very interesting things about the oil that was poured over Jesus. Help me welcome to the program, Scott Wright!
Scott, it’s good to have you again – I didn’t mean to take up all of that time discussing the anointing oil… but the Holy Spirit just kind of “brought this to my remembrance” as we got started.
Let’s start with, “What was so significant about the perfume Mary poured on Jesus?” This was so important that ALL FOUR GOSPELS record it, right?
JESUS IS OUR HIGH PRIEST… but, Jesus also said this was to prepare His BODY for burial, right?
Anointing has to do with preparing… The anointing of the High Priest was preparing him to take his office and enter the Holy of Holies… The anointing of Jesus was preparing Him for, He said, His burial. But was there something more as well?
How is all of this related to the “7 Bowls of Judgements” about to be poured out over the earth?
Remember, I mentioned that the anointing oil would permeate into the skin, hair, beard and clothing of the High Priest. It would never come out. I shared how, even though my classmate had changed clothes and showered, etc., you could still sense the anointing a couple weeks later…
He was told to wear clothes he would have no problem throwing away, because the smell would never go out…
The High Priest’s garments were the “Holy Anointed Garments” he would wear into the Holy of Holies. He would not dare enter without those garment on – or else!
If we have “The Anointed Jesus and His Anointing,” in us, on us and permeating through us…
I just thought of something, Mary wiped Jesus feet with her hair…so everywhere she went, she would have that same smell on her… which symbolizes “she worshipped Jesus.” We have that “smell on us” in the presence of God, the angels and the devils… amen?
I would think we have been prepared for something that has to do with the “end times” when there will be no doubt WHO belongs to Jesus and who does not. Do you see it this way as well?
What do you see happening as far as it relates to the anointing and preparation that is leading up to the end days?
Scott, this has been so interesting… As you can tell, I love talking about the Anointing. Praise God… If someone wanted to reach out to you to ask a question or get more information, how can they do that?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, the “Anointing” of Jesus is not just something we talk about – it IS WHO HE IS!
Christ Jesus is the ANOINTED JESUS. His anointing is OUR ANOINTING.
If He dwells IN YOU – I guarantee, every devil in hell can smell you coming! Amen! We don’t need to cower in fear – we can walk in VICTORY… and leave the smell of VICTORY everywhere we go! Amen! And that smell is not “napalm in the morning…” (I know I’m dating myself right there… but that’s OK – Praise God)! If you don’t know what I’m talking about, just Google, “napalm in the morning video” and find out… Amen!
Scott, thanks again for joining us today! Get in touch with Scott Wright by dropping down into the shown notes and clicking the links right there. For Scott Wright and myself, this is Pastor Bob remining you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!

Gane Wisdom By Chrysalis Guy Gane pt 2Each one of us, everyone listening to my voice right now, has a calling by God for their life. Whether you listen to and obey that calling is your choice. Whether you align your life with God’s plans and everything works out for our good – or you run the other way and experience the consequences – we are always growing. Amen!
Our guest today had it all. He was a successful businessman. He had a good income, great family and was living the lifestyle most wanted to aspire to. But then… I’ll leave it there and allow him to share the “but then” story.
During the “but then” aspect of his life, he dove deeper into this relationship with God. And soon found this time of his life was a time of change. A time of transformation. A time to become what God wanted him to be all along. Amen!
Guy Gane is our guest today and his story will, I believe, “transform” someone listening to us today. He is the author of a great book titled, “Chrysalis: Awakening to God's Path, Protection and Power in Your Life.” Through this book, Guy Gane hopes to empower you and others, through the work of the Holy Spirit so you will find the Truth yourself that “With God – ALL Things are Possible.” Amen!
This is part two and the conclusion of a great, two part interview!
I can attest to something similar.
How did all of this impact your family as we were going through the investigation, the trial and then the prison sentence?
Why did you write this book, “Chrysalis: Awakening to God's Path, Protection and Power in Your Life?”
Why did you choose the word, “Chrysalis?” and explain what that word means…
Who is the intended audience for this book? I believe everyone will receive insight and understanding from the book, but who did you have in mind when you wrote this book?
What lessons are hoping to impart to your readers through this book?
You’ve written several books. One is “Unchained and Unbroken – Life Lessons and Strength Training from a Jailhouse Gymrat.” Was this written while in prison or after?
Another book is “Managed Money – An Avenue to Wealth.” Is this a book on investments and things like that?
If someone wants to order your books, especially “Chrysalis: Awakening to God's Path, Protection and Power in Your Life,” how can they do that? I take it this book is on Amazon, correct?
Your book “Unchained and Unbroken” is on Amazon as well?
Guy, this has been so interesting. I know you’ve touched the hearts of a lot of people just sharing your story and your information and perspective. If someone wanted to ask you a question or get in touch with you, maybe to do an interview such as this… how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below…
Folks, not everyone has gone through the tragic life lessons that Guy Gane has gone through. But we all have gone through “something.” Pastor Bob included. I’m telling you right now, God has you listening today for a reason. There is something you have gone through or perhaps someone you know who has gone through something… something that turns life “upside down.”
You need to get a copy of Guy Gane’s book, “Chrysalis: Awakening to God's Path, Protection and Power in Your Life” in your hands now. Right now! Amen!

Help me welcome to the program, Guy Gane. Guy, it is a blessing to have you on the program today. I have been looking forward to this interview for some time. Praise God!
First question I always start with is this… and I would like you to share your story as part of answering this question, as I believe it will help our listeners understand how your experience has brought you to this point in your life. Can you share with us, “Who is Guy Gane?”
You faced something that most people cannot even relate to. When you are speaking to an audience, or to your those reading your book, how do you bring your audience to the point of understanding the adversity they have experienced in their life as something that God may have meant for good?

Space to Breath Tommy Thompson pt 2In this busy world – that seems to get busier almost every single day – sometimes we need to just take a step back, pause and just take a deep breath. Often, just that one thing can give us the clarity we seek. Sometimes, it can also save us from doing something that could have adverse consequences. Amen!
It seems like everyone we talk to is feeling overwhelmed by life, Pastor Bob included. Amen! Yet, we just keep on pushing. Often taking on more and more – all with the intent of achieving what we dream of as “success.”
But it seems that “the faster we go, the behinder we get.” Amen! There are just too many balls we are juggling and trying to keep them all up in the air at the same time. And if you ever noticed a juggler that drops one ball, it seems it causes almost ALL OF THE BALLS to drop! Amen!
Our guest today has learned how to just, step back and take a breath (so to speak) and is now helping others to find that guiding peace as well. Tommy Thompson is our guest today and he is the author of “SPACE TO BREATHE AGAIN.”Tommy is a successful business leader who has learned the importance of finding space to breathe in his busy life. He now shares his tips for dealing with stress, making time for yourself, and finding peace of mind. In fact, if you are feeling the stress of being overwhelmed at times and just need to find the space to breath – you will be blessed by this interview today, Praise God!
Share with us about your book, “Space to Breathe Again.” This book was published back in 2020. Why did you write this book and what is you are trying to accomplish?
You have several stories used as examples throughout your book. Can you give us a quick synopsis of one of those stories here, to serve as an example?
As folks go through your book, you have laid out each chapter to build upon three key strategies. Can you share those strategies with us?
You mentioned “breathing exercises.” What kind of breathing exercises do you use to, as you say, “Restore God’s unforced rhythms of grace.” Can you share one of those examples here?

Will May 19th Be A Dark Day for the World? Richard RuhlingAs we continue to watch, literally, the world going to hell in a handbasket right now, many people are wondering if this is actually the days leading up to the return of Jesus. If so – how close are we?
Our guest today has been on several times before as we look at subjects which the Bible tells us to be aware of – but is anybody listening?
Dr. Richard Ruhling is back today to share with us somethings we need to be aware of that may occur in the very, very near future.
About a month or so ago, Dr. Ruhling was on where, during the course of the interview, we focused on the “2ndPassover” mentioned in the Bible.
With that time now approaching, I wanted Dr. Ruhling to come back on the program and explain this for us again and discuss just how important it is for believers everywhere to recognize the importance of what shared.
This is part two of a great two part interview with Dr. Richard Ruhling...
At the end of the “10 Virgins Parable” – Jesus said you will not know the day or hour… but the Biblical year does not go from January to December, but from Spring to Spring.
In addition, this refers to the “2nd Passover” which is allowed if you are “travelling” and not in Jerusalem for the 1stPassover of the year. The “2nd Passover” is then held one month later.
The DARK DAY – on May 19, 1780 – occurred and was believed it was a sign of the “Day of the Lord.”
It was repeated 200 years later when Mt. St. Helen’s erupted on May 19, 1980 and a volcanic ash cloud covered much of the Northwest USA.
The 10th Day (that Noah entered the Ark) corresponds to next May 19 – in 2024 - to the DAY. So “SOMETHING” is going to happen on that day!
The “Goodman of the House” parable also refers to the 2nd Passover!
You believe there will be an attack on Jerusalem very soon and, when it happens, a dark day will occur… It could be Iran entering Jerusalem; it could be an EMP attack – but “something” is going to happen on that day in May 2024. Is that correct?
Dr. Ruhling, this has been so interesting. How can someone reach out to you for more information?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, Dr. Ruhling continues to bring us great information on the End Times as he sees it unfold and compares it to what the Bible has to say.
I want to encourage you to drop down into the show notes below and get in touch with Dr. Ruhling and to use the links to order his books and resources. Amen!

I want to start our discussion today with you sharing from Daniel 8 about the “ram with two horns…”
Numbers 9:10-11 - allows for Passover one month later to allow funeral for loved ones.
At the end of the “10 Virgins Parable” – Jesus said you will not know the day or hour… but the Biblical year does not go from January to December, but from Spring to Spring.

Can We Make God Jealous? TS WrightScott Wright is back with us today. Scott has been teaching us about the different ages of the Church and significant things the Bible and history has to say about them. Amen.
Today, we will be answering the question, “Can We Make God Jealous?”
To do that, help me welcome back to the program, our good friend, Scott Wright! Scott, good to talk to you again, buddy!
Alright, let’s jump into this…
So, let’s start with this question… “What is Jealousy?” The dictionary defines “Jealousy” as, “…a feeling of resentment, bitterness or hostility toward someone who has something that you don’t.”
That sounds like a “sin” – kind of like “coveting” – wanting something you cannot have.
Since God cannot sin – is God Jealous? If so, why?
We see throughout Exodus 20:5 where the Bible says, “You shall not bow down to them or serve them (false idols), for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me.”
John 17:21 states, with Jesus praying here, “I pray that they all will be one, just as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also, may be in us so that world may believe that you have sent me…”
Since Jesus and the Father are One, is Jesus jealous?
So, if “we are on in Christ” (Galatians 3:28), does that mean we can be jealous as well and not have it be a sin?
Why is this relevant to what is referred to as “the end times” which we live in today?
What should we, as Christians, take from this discussion today?
Scott, this has been so interesting as we discussed the “jealousy of God. If someone wants more information or would like to ask a question, how can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below…
Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Scott Wright. Get in touch with him. Subscribe to his podcast. And be sure to purchase his journal and start learning all about the “God Centered Concepts” that he specializes in. Amen!

The King’s Council Rylee Meek pt 2Many churches and ministries are struggling to survive since the pandemic – when EVERYTHING was shutdown… but the expenses continued. Amen.
Many business owners experienced the same thing and have struggled to adapt and survive as well.
It is not unusual for ministries, churches and entrepreneurs to look for ways to save money AND still be a blessing as much as possible as we go about doing Kingdom business. Amen?
If you are a Christian entrepreneur seeking to grow your business without compromising your faith; or you strive to keep your Sunday spirit alive from Monday to Saturday, in boardrooms and business meetings or you have a dream to build something meaningful, create a legacy, and you dream of making a difference in the world…
If that sounds like you or thoughts you may have had, you will want to pay attention to the episode today. Our guest is going to shine a light that will be a blessing to everyone listening right now. Amen!
Rylee Meek is the founder of “The King’s Council Community” and teaches on “Christian Entrepreneurship” and the “Kingdom Economy.” He is a successful businessman who has earned 7-8 figures in revenue for all of his 9 companies – in the first year they were in business. Praise God!
The “King’s Council” mission is to start and scale businesses for the ultimate goal of GIVING and ADVANCING the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth. Amen.
Rylee is the author of a 3-book series called, appropriately, “The Kingdom Entrepreneur,” with 2 of the 3 books already published and his the host of “The King’s Council Podcast.” Amen!
Help me welcome to the program, Rylee Meek! Rylee, thank you for taking the time to join us today! I’ve been looking forward to this conversation!
This is part 2 of a great conversation with Rylee Meek.
Your focus is on helping “Kingdom Entrepreneurs.” How do you help them and what will they accomplish with your help?
In this economy we are living in today, many people worry about being able to provide for their family, etc. Some tell themselves, “Somebody else will have to tithe, I need the money for our light bill.” But yet, the Bible is clear that we need to take care of the “House of God” and then God will take care of “our house.” Correct?
One of the programs you have is the “PROvision Processing.” Can you share about that, how it works and what it does?
Does the “PROvision Processing” work with online platforms or is it only like “in store” terminals, etc.?

The King’s Council Rylee Meek pt 1Many churches and ministries are struggling to survive since the pandemic – when EVERYTHING was shutdown… but the expenses continued. Amen.
Many business owners experienced the same thing and have struggled to adapt and survive as well.
It is not unusual for ministries, churches and entrepreneurs to look for ways to save money AND still be a blessing as much as possible as we go about doing Kingdom business. Amen?
If you are a Christian entrepreneur seeking to grow your business without compromising your faith; or you strive to keep your Sunday spirit alive from Monday to Saturday, in boardrooms and business meetings or you have a dream to build something meaningful, create a legacy, and you dream of making a difference in the world…

The “King’s Council” mission is to start and scale businesses for the ultimate goal of GIVING and ADVANCING the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth. Amen.
Rylee is the author of a 3-book series called, appropriately, “The Kingdom Entrepreneur,” with 2 of the 3 books already published and his the host of “The King’s Council Podcast.” Amen!
Help me welcome to the program, Rylee Meek! Rylee, thank you for taking the time to join us today! I’ve been looking forward to this conversation!
First question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Rylee Meek?”
You formed “The King’s Council” back in 2020 – just before the pandemic. What role did your organization serve during that trying time for many churches that, literally, shut their doors during that time?
I saw the statistics on your website that the “average Christian” only tithes 2.5%. Those are the “tithers.” Which means the “givers” are actually less? Is that right?

Signs of the Times TS Wright Scott Wright is back with us today. Scott has been teaching us about the different ages of the Church and significant things the Bible and history has to say about them. Amen.
We have seen recently, some pretty spectacular signs in nature. We’ve seen a terrible earthquake in Taiwan and, just a few days ago (at the time of this recording) an earthquake in NEW JERSEY – of all places.
Then, just a few days after the earthquake in New Jersey, we had the solar eclipse. I guess the question I have for you todays is, “How does it all relate to us as Christians?” Or is it just something that is a coincidence in this day and time in which we live?
I believe the Bible is very clear that God will use spectacular events in nature to try and “get our attention” as we approach the end times, correct?
I’ve seen reports that animals were “freaking out” (for lack of a better term), during the eclipse. But, if you look at this – so were people. Just look at some of things they were doing during the eclipse. They were basically “worshipping” the eclipse!
Before we leave today, I can’t help but bring up what’s happening now in Israel. When the United States accidently did a drone strike on an innocent civilian who was simply loading water jugs into the trunk of his car – Israel never came out and publicly criticized the United States for being reckless and calling for an immediate end to the war.
But yet, Israel makes the same type of mistake – and suddenly, our government is calling for an immediate cease fire. So – here we go again – the entire WORLD is now at odds against the victims of an unprovoked attack and they in a position where the US is discussing cutting back their aid and support. Your thoughts on this?
Scott, this has been so interesting as we discuss the current situation over in Israel. If someone wants more information or would like to ask a question, how can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below…
Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Scott Wright. Get in touch with him. Subscribe to his podcast. And be sure to purchase his journal and start learning all about the “God Centered Concepts” that he specializes in. Amen!
Do it right now before you forget about it later. Amen!

What Does it Mean to Choose Christ? Scott WrightScott Wright is back with us today as we continue to study details about the nation of Israel that, for some, may have never heard before. Scott is the author of the “God Centered Concept Journal” and has a unique insight into prophecy and the end times. He is also a podcaster, conducting teachings on these subject and the podcast has the same name, the “God Centered Concept Podcast.” Amen
The last time Scott was on, we discussed the “Fall of a Nation,” using Biblical examples of what has happened here, in the United States, when a nation turns from serving God. We left off with there being absolutely no doubt we have turned our backs on God and given him the infamous middle finger salute
Is there any wonder WHY things are going the way they are in this country right now?
Many people, some in very influential ministry positions, claim “God will never forget the United States of America… He will preserve this nation… He will protect this nation…, etc.”
WHY?
If He didn’t do it for Israel – what makes the United States any better than Israel when they turned their backs on God?
Ok… Ok… so YOU say, you’ve chosen Christ. Ok. I get that…
Do you know who He REALLY is?
Do you know what His REAL MISSION is all about?
Do you understand HOW He is planning on accomplishing His mission?
Do you even know why the NUMBER 4 is so significant to His mission?
Well, you are about to find the answers to these questions and more. Amen!
Help me welcome back to the program, Scott Wright! Scott, it’s great to talk to you again!
Ok… We have a lot to talk about today and I could go off in any myriad numbers of directions. But let’s try to stay focused today… amen?
Ok, I gave a list of questions. Before we get to the first one, “Do you know who Christ really is?” – can you tell us WHY the answers to these questions we are about to go over are so significant to what we see happening right now, in this nation, the world and in Israel?
First question, “Who is Christ?”
What is so important about “His Mission” that we are not really aware of in our society today?
How is He planning on accomplishing His mission and how far along on the plan is He now?
What is so significant about the number “4” and why should we be aware of it today?
Tie all of this up for us in a big, pretty bow and relate it to what the current events are telling us about to happen…
Scott, as usual, you give us a lot to think about and pray about. If someone has a question or would like to reach out to you for more information, how can they do that?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below…
Folks, the information Scott Wright has shared with us today is vital for your life. Not just this physical life, but your spiritual life and that of your family as well. I want to encourage you to reach out to Scott. Ask your questions. If you have a podcast, invite him on to speak to your audience. Amen!
Be sure to get into the Word. Study the Word. Apply the Word to your life. Not only will YOUR LIFE get better… but it will start to spread to those you meet as well. Amen!

The “gods” are Here Tom Donnan How important is it that God’s people be armed with the knowledge of the spiritual battle that we are already in the middle of? Even non-believers are beginning to recognize the evil that is going on…
Jonathan Cahn put out a video where he went into detail on how the ancient world was exploited by various gods. He explained as how they worshipped these gods, they were actually worshipping demonic forces. Did you see that video?
Jonathan Cahn Video: The Return of the gods | Rabbi Jonathan Cahn | LW (youtube.com)
We can see the signs of this pagan culture even today, in our society. The evil we are seeing, almost every night on the news, is evidence of demonic influences and even demonic possession. Don’t you agree?
In Jesus day, He and His followers took on these evil forces head-on and demonstrated the “authority of the believer.” That’s why his followers were persecuted to the extent they were because they refused to worship the pagan gods. Do you believe that is what is behind the persecution the Christians are beginning to see happening today?
Jesus told us that when a demon is cast out, in Matthew 12:43-45, “When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, “I’ll return to the house I left.” When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. It then goes and finds seven other demons worse than itself and all of them come and live there. The last state of the man becomes worse than the first. That is the way it WILL ALSO BE with this evil generation.”
Think about it like this… America was settled by Christians seeking a place to worship the Creator of the Universe, and serve as Jesus taught us. All of our laws and foundational documents, etc. were based on Judeo-Christian values. That is why we have been so blessed.
We were able to drive any demonic forces and influences from America. They left, roamed the earth, settled in amongst various people groups…and NOW – they have returned, bringing in even worse demonic forces to reoccupy this land. And, as Jesus said, “That is the way it WILL ALSO BE in this evil generation.”
I believe this is what we are seeing right now… What do you think?
Jonathan Cahn, in his video, described HOW these gods have now returned this nation. He identified a lot of them. Do you think we are actually seeing a “repossession” taking place before our very eyes?
Go through some of the demonic forces Jonathan Cahn identified. I believe the chief force was Baal, correct?
Jonathan Cahn Video: The Return of the gods | Rabbi Jonathan Cahn | LW (youtube.com)
We can identify the beginning of this when God was removed from the public schools back in the 1960’s, including the sexual revolution. And the schools have continued to get worse and worse ever since then…
In the 1970’s, it was abortion.
In the 1980’s, it was pornography.
In the 1990’s, it was acceptance of homosexuality.
In the 2000’s, it was the attack on marriage.
And it just continues to degenerate through today…
This is the demonic forces behind “wokeism” – do you agree?
We have basically become slaves to our technology. This is going to be tool used by the antichrist to control the population as depicted in the Bible, right?
Jonathan Cahn also identified the spirit behind this misgendering confusion going on. Did you see that?
We have parades and pride parades, they stole the rainbow… and they used the word, “tolerance” to get their way… But in fact, they are 100% anti-tolerant towards anyone who does not accept their depravity, right?
I believe Jonathan Cahn actually identified the gods and how they had their own “month” of dedication – and it just happens to align with the “month” the government has chosen to celebrate “gay pride month” and all of that as well. Did you see that part of the video?
We are definitely living in an upside down world.
I believe we are 100% living in the days Jesus said we would see that identifies His soon return is near. Again, He said, “That is the way it WILL ALSO BE in this evil generation.”
Tom, can you pray for actual revival to come to America again?

Raising Other People’s Children Debbie Ausburn Today, there are more than 400K children in foster care in the United States. The reason for this varies from child abuse and neglect. Whether physical abuse, psychological abuse or sexual abuse – these are all significant reasons children are removed from homes. They can also cause long lasting mental health issues and authority issues as well. Neglect can run the gamut from failing to fulfill a child’s needs for food, hygiene, education, etc. Even withholding medical care. Sometimes there is the situation where a child is abandoned. Whether financial pressures, emotional pressure or other reasons, the parent drops the child off somewhere and never returns. Then, there is the totally tragic case of when a parent dies, leaving nobody to raise the child.
All of these situations are tragic. All of these situations can scar a child for life. All of these situations require someone to step up and help.
That is where our guest today has come in. Debbie Ausburn is a social worker, turned lawyer, who has worked with youth-serving organizations for more than 40 years. She has served as a camp counselor, juvenile court probation officer, group home parent, criminal prosecutor of crimes against children and as a litigation attorney advising youth-serving organizations throughout the United States.
Her most important challenges, however, have been parenting foster children and stepchildren. She has never had biological children of her own, but she has collected seven children and ten grandchildren. Praise God…
She has put the lessons that her children taught her over the years into a book titled, “Raising Other People’s Children: What Foster Parenting Taught Me about Bringing Together a Blended Family.”
Help me welcome to the program, Debbie Ausburn. Debbi, thank you for taking the time to join us today. I do appreciate it.
First question I always start with is this…. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Debbie Ausburn?”
Let’s start with your book, “Raising Other People’s Children: What Foster Parenting Taught Me about Bringing Together a Blended Family.” Why did you write this book?
In your book, “Raising Other People’s Children,” you share that your goal was never to replace the parent that was supposed to be there and raising the kids. But that your goal was to forge a strong and rewarding relationship with them. In effect, becoming that child’s “Plan B” for support. I guess the question I have for you is “How do you communicate that to a troubled child or teen that has been placed into your care?”
You share that you may not be the person who is “supposed to be there,” – but you are the person who “is there.”
Also in your book, you share it was a bit more difficult after you were married. How difficult was that transition time for him to, basically, “catch up” with those skills?
Can you explain for us a term you use, The “ACE” or “Adverse Childhood Experiences” that children suffer from? What is this and why is it important to understand?
You share a couple of examples that I think would be hard for someone to deal with if they were not prepared for it themselves. The examples I’m thinking of involve attending a reunion or other event with the child’s biological family and relatives – and you receiving the “cold shoulder.” Can you share about those experiences you had and how a foster parent can prepare, mentally, for those challenges?
What is the main takeaway your readers will receive from your book?
Did you ever have any children who were violent or acting out? How did you handle those situations?
If you had to list them, what would be the “top 3 strategies” you use to accomplish your goals with your children?
Debbie, this has been an incredible interview. What is the #1 thing you would like our listeners to remember from our interview today?
How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “Raising Other People’s Children: What Foster Parenting Taught Me about Bringing Together a Blended Family?” Is it on Amazon?
This has truly been an eye opening interview. If someone wanted to ask you a question, receive more information or get in touch with you, perhaps to do an interview such as this. How can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Every child who enters foster care does so under specific circumstances. Each requires a different level of emotional, behavioral, medical, and educational support. Also, the length of stay within the system can vary widely, with some children only needing immediate, short-term care and others requiring longer-term care.
And just as every child is different, no two foster families are the same. Foster care, therefore, takes several forms — each impactful and very necessary. So if you're thinking about fostering a child, you need to order a copy of Debbie Ausburn’s book, “Raising Other People’s Children: What Foster Parenting Taught Me about Bringing Together a Blended Family?” to learn about the diverse ways foster parents can provide a safe, temporary place for children to heal, grow, and thrive and, ultimately, succeed in life. That’s the goal. Amen!

A Journey to Life Marina Carrier pt 2Heulwen Marina Carrier is our guest today, hailing from Edinburgh, Scotland. Marina’s life has not been one of sunshine and roses. She was born as an illegitimate, unwanted child… suffered sexual abuse by her step-father up to age nine, when she was left for dead.
But God. Amen. But God…
Despite her suffering, she continued to excel through school and through God’s provision, was able to pass her classes well enough to train for and become a teacher. Amen!
All her life, she continued to ask questions and gain wisdom through seeking the answers. This has enabled her to help those who have been diagnosed with learning disabilities to learn and grow as well.
She lived in denial of what she went through for many years, including her own husband’s betrayal.
One night, while praying she heard her name called and since then, now more than 30 years I believe, God called her back to the Church to minister to others who have also felt betrayal and abuse. She says the went through the “dark night of the soul” and found the mystery of the “inner world” – and what it means to live in Spirit and in Truth. She learned the wonder of humility and the mystery of casting all her burdens on Christ – and live for Him and by Him. Amen!
She is a counselor to those that seek help. She is the author of trilogy of books, “Treasures of Darkness,” “Your Will Be Done,” and “Children of God.”
With all that being said, help me welcome to the program Marina Carrier! Marian, it is such a blessing to have you on the program today!
This is part two to a great conversation with Marina Carrier.
After living in denial all those years, it started to catch up with you. You were beginning experience mental exhaustion at work, etc. But then your marriage also fell apart.
The Lord led you through the “dark night of the soul.” Share about that with us…
What is the “mystery of the inner world” which you talk about?
Share with us briefly about your books. You wrote a “Trilogy.” Was this the goal when you started or did it just end up that way?
Are these books independent of each other or should they be read in sequence?
How can someone obtain these books? Are they available on Amazon?
Tell us about your website. “Overcoming.Live” – that is an awesome name! Praise God. What will someone find when they visit your website?
Marina, this has been so interesting. God Bless you for the work you have been doing and continue to do even now. Abuse, neglect, all of these things are such terrible tragedies, but we know that it is of the devil. Your work to bring the Light of God on these topics, the platform you use on your website, the books – all of it – is so awesome as you are being led by God step by step in this work is so commendable. If someone has a question or would like more information or maybe even someone would like to invite you to do an interview such as this… how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below… Folks, I believe the Holy Spirit had you listen to this episode today for a reason. He preordained that you would be listening to Marina Carrier right now! Amen! Do not let this opportunity pass you by without you taking some type of action. It is meant for you to be listening to Marina and I right now. Amen!
Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Marina Carrier right now. Click the links below and be sure to order her books right now as well. Just click the links below and get these into your hands as soon as possible.
Just don’t read them… Read them and share them! Amen! Be a sower for the Kingdom, Amen!

The first question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Marina Carrier?”
From what I understand, you came to find out in your early childhood that, not only were you ostracized as being “illegitimate,” but you found out your mother had actually tried to abort you. Is that correct?
On top of all this, you were also abused by your step-father. What did your mother do or did she even know this was going on?
Your now about nine years old, what happened that you were left for dead? What were the circumstances that led to that and how were you saved?
After that, you found the Lord had given you His Grace and His Spirit and you began to excel in school and things like that, correct?
Did you share this upbringing and abuse with anyone?
What led you into the calling of being a teacher?
Fast forward a few more years. You were now married, had an adopted child – and you received a scholarship to get your Ph.D.?

Summit in a Box Krista MillerVirtual Summits are now the most popular way to grow your online business. You can be in ministry and hold revivals online. I know. I did that when the COVID shutdowns first happened. Our ministry was one of the first in the nation to hold an online ministry summit after the shutdown.
We had 40 some pastors and ministers from around the nation come on the program over three days. We had over 700 visitors during the summit as we discussed the situation in light of Biblical prophecy and the need for repentance, etc.
But, I pieced that summit together using about four different platforms! It took three of us to run it when we went live… plus the emails and promotions… It was a success… but it was the LAST ONE I did for over two years…
Then, a month or two ago, the Lord put on my heart it was time for another summit of pastors to discuss prophecy in light of current events – again! I’m being honest, I was not thrilled He had put that in my heart and mind… amen!
But, a week or so after that day, I seen an email or something that caught my attention. It was from a wonderful young lady named Krista Miller and her business is called, “SUMMIT IN A BOX!”
Folks, I’m telling you, this was an answer to my prayers. Amen! I am so impressed by what I’ve learned so far… and we are now in the planning stages of holding our next online ministry summit… and I will be incorporating the summit concept into our podcast and marketing program as well. That’s how simple of a process Krista has made this – even I am wanting to do more summits! Amen!
Krista has this summit thing down to a fine art. She has helped so many people to run their summits, gain followers, make sales, etc. – I call her the “Summit Queen.” Amen!
If you are looking at a way to generate an increase in whatever it is you are doing, you need to grab a pen and paper and take notes today. I saw a Facebook post or something that caught my eye a month or so ago and Krista was sharing a little about her Faith – and I immediately told myself I was going to get her on this program to share all about her business and her non-profit with YOU. Amen!
Krista created her own summit system in 2017 while preparing for her first summit. She unexpectedly generated 4 times her normal monthly revenue from that one event! Praise God! She tripled her email list and booked her services out six months in advance – all from that first event. Amen! She quickly became THE recognized industry expert in summits as a result.
Krista Miller is here today to talk, not just about “Summit in a Box” but also some great work she is doing with a non-profit called, “CEO’s in the Word.” Praise God!
Help me welcome to the program, Krista Miller! Krista, it is a blessing to have you on the program with us today!
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Krista Miller?”
When did you first start your online business and what were you doing?
How did you get introduced to online summits?
Do you remember your very first one? What was that like for you?
What was the evolution of “Summit in a Box” from what you first tried to where you are today – being able to help so many people successfully run their online summits?
Running or putting on summit is one thing… but the success or failure of the summit really rests on the value being provided during the summit, correct? Do you have any advice or guidance that you provide your clients in, not just using your system to hold the summits, but to guide them in making sure value is provided to the attendees?
You are also involved in starting a non-profit called, “CEO’s in the Word.” Share with us the vision you have for this organization…
This will be held by business professionals for their clients?
I love the concept of the online Bible study groups. So many people are just “too busy” in this day and time. So much so that church attendance is down, dramatically – especially after the pandemic. I know our online radio station grew by about 30% each year since the COVID fiasco. I just believe a lot of people are used to staying home now and get fed the Word online. So your online Bible studies will probably be a hit. Amen!
How far along are you in bring this to the point of launching it?
You are also a podcaster. Tell us about your podcast, “Summit Host Hangout Podcast…”
Krista, this has truly been interesting. If someone wants more information on “Summit in a Box” or would like to ask a question, etc. How can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, holding a virtual summit is not for everyone. But if it is something the Lord has been stirring around in your heart, you are listening to this episode today for a reason! Amen!
God preordained you would be hearing us right now. Amen!
I want to encourage you to drop down into the show notes and check out Krista’s website, “Summitinabox.co” NOT dot com… DOT CO. Amen! Just click the link down below to check out the great information on Krista’s website. It is really a great website.
And, as you have already heard, Pastor Bob is a client… amen! I’ve using these products to grow our ministry brand this year… probably two or three summits – I know at least TWO are in the planning stages right now… and I’ll probably do a third in the fall. So I know this program works. Amen!
Drop down into the show notes and get in touch with Krista right now.
Krista, I want to thank you again for coming on the program today and sharing all about your “Summit in a Box” program and your “CEO’s in the Word” non-profit as well.
Folks, that is all the time we have for today. For Krista Miller and myself, this is Pastor Bob reminding you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!

Business Ownership Simplified for Success Michael Morrison For many of us, what started off as a great idea has become a nightmare of sorts. Being your own boss. Setting your own hours. Not having to answer to anyone?
Isn’t that how it all starts? At first it’s fine. Even fun. But, with growth, comes the problems. I know. I’ve run into that with the ministry?
When we first started, I could set the entire week on the radio station in about four hours on a Sunday afternoon. Two years later, it had become a full time job. Four years into this, I was working 15 and 16 hour days, usually 7 days a week. And that was just to keep up. I was ready to throw in the towel.
But, long story short, I started to hire some help. It allowed me to take as step back from having to do EVERYTHING – to now, passing off the routine tasks to others.
That’s just one quick example of what our guest today is helping many people to do.
Michael Morrison is a business coach, podcast host and for 20 years, a business owner. He now focuses on helping business owners to create a business that will run without the constant handling and day to presence of the owner. Does that sound like a dream come true for some of you listening right now?
His business is called, “Business Ownership Simplified for Success” – or BOSS for short! He is also the host of the “Small Business Pivots Podcast” and is the author of a great guide titled, “DO NOT Start or Run a Business, My Way! Business and Life Lessons I Learned the Hard Way!”
Help me welcome to the program, Michael Morrison! Michael it is a blessing to have you with us today!
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Michael Morrison?
Your business, BOSS, or “Business Ownership Simplified for Success” sounds interesting to me – as you heard in my opening. This thing grew so quickly, it was not simplified in any way at all. The “Business” and the “Ownership” and the “Success” were happening – but the “Simplified” was nowhere to be found!
Do many of your clients come to you with the same situation?
Your tag line is “Create a Business that runs without you.” That is an intriguing goal. How do you help your clients to achieve that dream?
On your website, I seen where you help to connect business owners with business loans and things like that. Are you the facilitator of the loans or just offering referrals, etc.?
Share with us about your book: “DO NOT Start or Run a Business, My Way! Business and Life Lessons I Learned the Hard Way!”
What is the number ONE thing you recommend a small business owner should do FIRST – before they actually OPEN a business?
You host in person networking events in the Oklahoma City area, correct?
I want to ask you about your podcast, “Small Business Pivots Podcast.”
How long have you been podcasting?
Share with us about your podcast and what the listeners will learn…
Michael, this sounds great. If someone wanted to receive more information, ask a question or maybe invite you to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, if anything we talked about today resonates with you, the Lord had you listen to this episode today for a reason. Amen!
Michael Morrison and his team understands what it is like to work long hours and never leave the office. Ending the day feeling like you really did not accomplish anything except put out fires all day long. More importantly, he understands what it is like AND what it takes to overcome these roadblocks in growing your business. Michael believes that when you step up to chase your dreams, the real dreams, the ones you really, truly want to be living – then the world itself becomes a better place. His mission is to help do exactly that. Amen!

The Decline and Fall of America Tom Donnan In the face of the decline and fall of America, it becomes crucial to discern and confront the spiritual forces that are shaping our world today. This concern extends beyond the realms of believers to encompass non-believers who are now witnessing unsettling changes.The resurgence of ancient demonic spirits, as forewarned in biblical texts, emerges as potential architects behind the unraveling of our culture and the transformative shifts that are being seen in the media. The fabric of today's society and of modern culture bears the imprint of malevolent spirits, exemplified by the proliferation of occult practices and emphasized by spirit of sexuality influencing gender issues.A discernible spiritual battle rages on, marking a need for revival in the name of Jesus.To navigate through these challenges, we must dismantle strongholds, live guided by the Holy Spirit, and unflinchingly invoke the Name of Jesus amidst the backdrop of America's decline and fall. We ARE living, in the last of the last days.To help us review some of the recent things emerging, is our good friend, Tom Donnan.Tom, it’s so good to talk with you again as we dive into what I shared in the opening, the “Decline and Fall of America.”Let’s start with the main stabilizing force in our country, the Church. The Church has lost its influence in the culture of this nation. One way we can verify that is because of the drastic decline in church attendance. What have you seen on this topic?Mass exodus: Why church attendance is dropping across US (youtube.com)A nation that cannot field an Army to defend its borders or fight to protect this land is truly destined to be overrun by an opposing force. Have you seen the big news story about military recruitment has failed to meet its recruiting goals – again?US Army CUTTING 24 THOUSAND Jobs, Military Has Recruitment CRISIS (youtube.com)There is no doubt that Bidenomics has virtually destroyed the finances of this nation. You can’t print, print, print worthless money and continue to flood the economy with it. It generates massive inflation, to the point where the people cannot afford to buy anything anymore. We are there. People cannot pay the credit cards, car loans, house payments, rent, etc.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovXaIFPy-ksWhen people don’t buy anything, companies don’t make money – and layoffs result. This tightens the belts of families even more.Have you seen things related to that as well?This is also collapsing the mortgage industry as well. People can’t afford to buy houses… which means nobody is selling their houses – and another major sector falls by the wayside.The biggest Mortgage Collapse in US History is happening right now. (youtube.com)In fact, trying to “help the lower class” of wage earners, many states are now mandating minimum wage hikes to $15 per hour and some, like California, are floating the idea of $30 per hour – to work at McDonalds and things like that!The only way a business can counter those kinds of mandates is to raise prices. But then, again, families have to tighten their belts, which means they will just stop going out to eat…Restaurant Sales Tanked In January (youtube.com)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKpPIxRqJPYTom, we have discussed a lot of things today. But we can’t leave without discussing something or other that deals with space. A few weeks ago, there was a massive cell phone outage with AT&T. Come to find out, there was a big solar flare (at least that’s what they are saying now). Have you seen information on how an increase in solar flares is going to cause even greater havoc on earth than normal?MASSIVE Earth Directed Sun Storms RIGHT Before Nationwide Cellular Outage! (youtube.com)Well, Tom, we are way out of time for today… Praise God. If someone wanted to reach out to you or ask a question, how can they do that?Could you pray for our nation right now, as we get ready to close?Folks, after hearing all of this today, is there any doubt that we are living in the last of the last day. In the video with Jonathan Cahn, at one point he said, Some people say they wish they could have lived in Biblical times. Congratulations… you’re here! Amen!We are definitely living in the days of the soon return of Jesus. But, as Tom and I always share, we do not bring these things to light to bring you to fear – but Faith! Amen! Faith in the Name that is above EVERY NAME. Jesus!CONTACT INFORMATION:Tom Donnan Healingthenation1776@gmail.comSix free books can be found at: Home | Zoe Healing Center
Journey To Success Dr. Melvin FutrellDo you want to be a “winner” in life? I hope you said “YES and AMEN” to that question. Amen!
Of course, to be a winner, you have to live like a winner. Too many people today are living defeated. Too many people today believe that, maybe, someday, they may win… but not right now. Still others are “win a few, lose a few.” If that sounds like your life, you are about to find out just what it will take to turn that around. Amen!
Our guest today is the founder of the “Winners Way” on Facebook, Dr. Melvin Futrell. Dr. Melvin is also the Bishop, founder and senior pastor of “Proceeding Word Church” in Chesapeake, Virginia. And he is the author of a great book, “The Journey to Success: How to Face Life Challenges, Setbacks and WIN.”
He is a much sought after speaker and, through his work, he actively contributes to the growth and the impact of the Kingdom of God on this society – not only for this present generation, but for generations to come! And we are blessed to have him join us today! Amen!
Help me welcome to the program, Dr. Melvin Futrell. Dr. Melvin, thank you for taking the time from your busy schedule to join us today!
The first question I always start with is this… Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Dr. Melvin Futrell?”
Your background, you were destined for Division 1 football… but instead, opted for a stint in the Marine Corps. To that I want to say, “Thank you for your service.” I try to do that for every veteran I have on the program. I did 12+ years in the Army as well.
On your website, you say, “Prepare to be uncomfortable.” Can you explain that for our listeners?
As a ministry leader, share with us what it is like to be “uncomfortable” in stretching your followers to accomplish great goals that is outside their day to day “normal.”
Let’s talk about your book, “The Journey to Success: How to Face Life Challenges, Setbacks and WIN,” a bit.
First, why did you write this book and why publish it now?
In your book, you share there are two ways you can learn important life lessons. Can you share those two ways with our listeners?
Does someone have to be in business to have a mentor?
How do you help those who choose option number two?
Explain for us about the “Winners Way?” How do you help people with that?
What are the process if someone wants to get in touch with you and see about working with you? How can someone get in touch with you and receive more information?
Your book, “The Journey to Success,” how can someone obtain a copy? Is it on Amazon?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, life is not living according to what others say you should do or what others say you should have. It is not something that should be defined by your circumstances alone. It should not be a life where you only play small and try to play it safe.
True living is living a life that YOU design. A life where YOU make the decisions, not somebody else. A life where YOU determine the circumstances and YOU don’t have to play it safe – you just need to play it smart! Amen!
Of course, the most important part is knowing Christ as your Savior. That is foremost the first step to living a successful and meaningful life. Securing your eternal destiny is paramount. But, even then, as Bishop will testify to and myself as well – it still takes a decision on YOUR part to change the natural circumstances in your favor. You are the only one who can make the determination to take the steps right now to change your path.
As Bishop says on his website, you do not need a “Life spent playing small and never knowing what could have been.”
I urge you to drop down into the show notes right now and reach out to Dr. Futrell. Click the links. Ask your question. Order his book! Praise God… this book would be a great first step to get you on the path to success. Amen!
Drop down into the shown notes, click the links, ask your questions and see how Dr. Melvin can help you achieve all that God has destined for you. Amen!
Bishop, thank you for taking the time to come on the program and sharing about all that you do for the Body of Christ and to help folks achieve even greater things for themselves and the Kingdom. I do appreciate your time today.
Folks, that is all the time we have for today. For Bishop and Dr. Melvin Futrell and myself, this is Pastor Bob reminding you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!

How to PRIME Your Business Matthew SanjariThere is no doubt that businesses today are struggling. This economy is wreaking havoc on many small businesses. This necessitates the need to make sure your business not only survives, but thrives. Amen!
But, how best to accomplish that? Especially if you’re already struggling week to week, unable to see the grass from the weeds that are all around you?
Do you feel like you’re just spinning in circles? You are working hard, but it seems like you have very little to show for all the effort? You’re not alone, folks.
If you are wanting to see growth in your business, but you’re not really sure of where to start? Our guest today will help to guide you down that path to success! Amen!
Matthew Sanjari is the founder of “Prime Consulting.” After suffering a life-altering accident which derailed his prior career, he spent over a decade recovering. He had to overcome chronic pain, depression and a disability in the process. He created “Prime Consulting” in order to form a boutique consulting firm that helps businesses – just like your business – to thrive. Amen!
Help me welcome to the program, Matthew Sanjari! Mathew, it is a blessing to speak with you today and I’m so blessed you took the time to come on the program and share all about your business with us.
First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Matthew Sanjari?”
When did you start this business – and why? What was the need you identified that was not being fulfilled?
You share that you help folks to see real results from their efforts. Can you explain how you go about doing this with your clients?
For some entrepreneurs, we are so entrenched in the day to day operations, it can be difficult to take a step back and evaluate everything in perspective. How do you recommend a business owner do this effectively?
You share that one way to build a better business is to invest in their people first. Building their people to build their business. Can you explain that for us?
I’m a firm believer in the TEAM training concept. I’ve spoken on it conferences, etc. How do you go about improving how teams interact, learn and, basically, grow together?
How do you help your clients establish challenging, but achievable goals that will grow their business?
Many times, entrepreneurs will be “all in” as far as running the business. Often, this means taking from family time, forgoing vacations and things like that. The thought process is, “If it needs to be done – I need to get it done.” How can you help your clients overcome this syndrome?
Mathew, this has been so interesting and informative. If someone has a question or they would like to reach out to you for more information, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, if you own or run a business, it is so important for you to have clarity. Clarity on who you are, why your business exists and why you need a strategy to grow your business. You need to look at this from a place of your clients “wants” – not just their needs.
Matthew Sanjari will work with you to evaluate, plan, develop and then execute and implement these things to actually take your business to the next level. He does this in a unique way that will truly resonate with your clients, your employees and, more importantly, your bottom line! Amen!
Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Matthey Sanjari right now, while you are thinking about this. Just get in touch and set up a no obligation call. It may be the most important call you can make this year! Amen!

End-Time Surprises Dr. Richard Ruhling pt 2As we witness tensions continue to escalate across the Middle East, many people are starting to wonder, “Are these the end times as described in the Bible?” You’ve heard me interview many people on this topic and, almost to a person – the answer is “YES.”
Now, on the topic of “WHEN” – they begin to differ. But the main point is – WE ARE ALREADY in the end times.
We see Israel at war with Hamas – and instead of supporting Israel’s right to defend itself and eliminate the threat from within their borders forever, the world is condemning Israel. Some even condone the attacks of October 7thsaying “Hamas was defending itself against Israel aggression.”
Add in the Huthi rebels threatening international shipping and the United States trying to defend the ships by attacking the Iranian backed rebels…
Add in the recent drone attacks by Iranian backed militia in Jordan. This was identified several months ago by President Biden and the Defense Department as a “red line” that should not be crossed. Well, they crossed it. So the question now is, “What will happen next?”
All of the tensions are linked back to Iran. Hamas, Hezbollah, etc. Is the United States about to go to war against Iran?
What does the Bible say about that perspective?
To answer all of this and more, we have our good friend, Dr. Richard Ruhling joining us again today. Dr. Ruhling is a frequent guest on our program as we discuss end time scenarios. You can go back in our archives and listen to some of the profound things he has identified before.
In fact, he predicted the United States would be at war with Iraq – BEFORE 9-11 even happened! Amen! So, perhaps we need to pay attention to what he sharing with us and with the world.
He is also the author of great book titled, “The End-Time Book of Surprises,” which describes some of the things we will discussing today.
This is part two, and the conclusion, of an eye-opening interview discussing the "End-Time Surprise" that is rapidly approaching...!
How does Christ’s Kingdom and a “Time of Impending Judgement” is coming work together?
This all parallels the “Wedding Parables” as well, correct?
How do we actually “get” to the Day of the Lord?
We’ve talked about earthquakes in various places. Recently Taiwan… but talking about various places…just a few minutes ago, there was a 4.2 earthquake in – NEW JERSEY!
How does the eclipse, that starts in the Bible Belt area and crosses across America to the liberal areas of the North East, tie into all of this as a sign?
You also point out the Bible declares there is going to be a major earthquake to strike the earth that signifies, basically, “times up,” correct?
What do you believe is the next major event that we will see coming over the horizon concerning the end times, possibly as soon as May 19th?
Why can’t God just “hit us and get our attention” every time we get something, let’s just say, “wrong?”
Dr. Ruhling, as usual, you give us a lot to think about and study. Praise God!
What is the name of your book and how can we obtain a copy?
If someone wanted to grab a copy of your book, “The End-Time Book of Surprises,” how can they do that? Is it available on Amazon?
If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or possibly to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, as we have been saying, the end time are here. We are living in the days the prophets of old desired to see – just like Jesus said. He also said, “We are blessed because our eyes do see and our ears do hear these things.” What does that mean? Basically, what are we going to do with the information we see, hear and understand? We need to share this information far and wide. Amen!
You can start by dropping down into the show notes below and reaching out to Dr. Ruhling. Interview him on your podcasts, etc. But be sure to order his great book, “The End-Time Book of Surprises” Amen! You definitely need to do that. It’s not a long book. It’s definitely not an expensive book. You can send an offering to our ministry and Dr. Ruhling has authorized me to send you a FREE COPY – but only for the first six people who do so. Do it right now – while you are thinking about. Amen!

Help me welcome back to the program, Dr. Richard Ruhling! Dr. Ruhling, it is a blessing to have you come back on and share with us today.
The continued escalation of animosity against Israel, here in the United States and across the world, to me anyway – points right back to what the Bible says will happen in the last days. Is that the way you see it, too?
You also are a proponent of emphasizing that, from Amos 3:7, “God will not do anything without first revealing it to His prophets.” What else does God share with us about the day and time we are living in right now?
How have we missed the “Gospel of the Kingdom?”
The Bible declares “The End from the Beginning…”
How does Christ’s Kingdom and a “Time of Impending Judgement” is coming work together?
Folks, as we have been saying, the end time are here. We are living in the days the prophets of old desired to see – just like Jesus said.

Surviving the First Five Minutes of a School Shooting Daniel Dluzneski pt 2We have all seen the news reports of active shootings taking place in schools, businesses and things like that. We have all watched as parents grieve and people ask,
“Why?”
“Why did this happen?”
“What could have been done differently?”
We all remember Columbine… it was after that event that “active shooter” training started to be taught to law enforcement. I had to go through it as a police officer. I prayed I would never need to use it… but I was ready if it ever took place.
You don’t have time for S.W.A.T. in most cases. In fact, you don’t really have time for the police to arrive before you take some kind of action. This is now taught to churches, businesses and schools across the country.
At the first indication of an active shooter, the first five minutes are the most important for your survival and those you love and care about. If you do the right thing in those first few minutes, your chances of survival jump immensely.
Remember the adage, “When you need help now, the police are only minutes away.”
Our guest today specializes in conducting “Active Shooter Training” for schools and businesses.
Daniel Dluzneski is a retired 24 year member of US Secret Service Agency. The Former Coordinator for Emergency Management, Safety and Security for the Pinellas County Schools in Florida and the author of very important book titled, appropriately, “The First Five Minutes: School Shooting Survival Guide for Administrators and Teachers.”
This is part two and the conclusion of a very important interview that needs to be shared far and wide in this day and time in which we live...
I remember when we were running active shooter drills with our department, we were a State Police agency and had state buildings, etc. to protect, as well as infrastructure, etc. Without going into all of the details because I don’t want to give away tactics, etc. in case someone is listening… we knew the initial responding officers would be the ones to make entry. There was no more, surround and secure and wait 30-45 minutes for the SWAT team. You were going in and you needed to rely on your patrol partners in the process.
I don’t want to get into the procedures and tactics from the law enforcement perspective, but in your book, you give several steps administrators can use to increase the survivability of this type of situation. You start with the effectiveness of lockdowns. Can you share with us the “how and why” this is a vital first step?
From my military time, I loved unannounced operational readiness drills. This would test the true readiness of a unit. I know the schools would like advance notice of a drill to give everyone a “heads up,” but that is actually not a realistic test. Did you advocate the use of unannounced drills for schools?
There was always that, “This will never happen here” mentality – especially in small town America, right?
Share with us about your book, “The First Five Minutes: School Shooting Survival Guide for Administrators and Teachers.” Why did you write this book and why publish it now?
Daniel, this has been so informative. If someone wanted to obtain a copy of your book, how can they do that? Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to reach out to you, ask a question or maybe have you come out to their business or location, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, unfortunately, the day and time in which we live is one in which things like this are starting to happen more and more. Our society is devolving and not evolving. It used to be unthinkable that situations like we discussed today would ever happen. Now, not only do we see them happening more and more – we actually need to prepare for them happening.
I urge you, at a minimum, to drop down into the show notes and order a copy of Daniel Dluzneski’s book, “The First Five Minutes: School Shooting Survival Guide for Administrators and Teachers.” I would hope and pray you never need to implement any of the emergency situations in this book. But, if you do, they will save your life and the lives of those around you.
If you are a teacher or school administrator, I’d recommend reaching out to Daniel and possibly have him come by your school district and see if he can be of assistance. Amen!
But, like I said, at a minimum, you need to drop down into the show notes and purchase his book, right now – while it is fresh in your mind. Amen!
Daniel, thank you for taking the time to come on the program today. This was so insightful and I want to thank you, first for your service to this nation in law enforcement and also for putting together this information in a book formatfor easy consumption. I do appreciate you coming on the program today.
Folks, that is all the time we have for today. For Daniel Dluzneski and myself, this is Pastor Bob reminding you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!

Surviving the First Five Minutes of a School Shooting Daniel Dluzneski pt 1We have all seen the news reports of active shootings taking place in schools, businesses and things like that. We have all watched as parents grieve and people ask,
“Why?”
“Why did this happen?”
“What could have been done differently?”
We all remember Columbine… it was after that event that “active shooter” training started to be taught to law enforcement. I had to go through it as a police officer. I prayed I would never need to use it… but I was ready if it ever took place.
You don’t have time for S.W.A.T. in most cases. In fact, you don’t really have time for the police to arrive before you take some kind of action. This is now taught to churches, businesses and schools across the country.
At the first indication of an active shooter, the first five minutes are the most important for your survival and those you love and care about. If you do the right thing in those first few minutes, your chances of survival jump immensely.
Remember the adage, “When you need help now, the police are only minutes away.”
Our guest today specializes in conducting “Active Shooter Training” for schools and businesses.
Daniel Dluzneski is a retired 24 year member of US Secret Service Agency. The Former Coordinator for Emergency Management, Safety and Security for the Pinellas County Schools in Florida and the author of very important book titled, appropriately, “The First Five Minutes: School Shooting Survival Guide for Administrators and Teachers.”
Help me welcome to the program, Daniel Dluzneski. Daniel, thank you for joining us today to discuss this very important topic.
Let’s start with this question first. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Daniel Dluzneski?”
I remember when we were running active shooter drills with our department, we were a State Police agency and had state buildings, etc. to protect, as well as infrastructure, etc. Without going into all of the details because I don’t want to give away tactics, etc. in case someone is listening… we knew the initial responding officers would be the ones to make entry. There was no more, surround and secure and wait 30-45 minutes for the SWAT team. You were going in and you needed to rely on your patrol partners in the process.
I don’t want to get into the procedures and tactics from the law enforcement perspective, but in your book, you give several steps administrators can use to increase the survivability of this type of situation. You start with the effectiveness of lockdowns. Can you share with us the “how and why” this is a vital first step?
Folks, unfortunately, the day and time in which we live is one in which things like this are starting to happen more and more. Our society is devolving and not evolving. It used to be unthinkable that situations like we discussed today would ever happen. Now, not only do we see them happening more and more – we actually need to prepare for them happening.
I urge you, at a minimum, to drop down into the show notes and order a copy of Daniel Dluzneski’s book, “The First Five Minutes: School Shooting Survival Guide for Administrators and Teachers.” I would hope and pray you never need to implement any of the emergency situations in this book. But, if you do, they will save your life and the lives of those around you.CONTACT INFORMATION: Email: k9korak@protonmail.com

A Spoonful of Courage Dr. Charles Page pt 2In this day and age in which we live, medical advancements are coming on us a rapid pace. Faster and more detailed. Because of this, medical facilities run sort of a “production line” of people in and out of the offices and hospitals.
Gone are the days when doctors actually “knew ”their patients. And the patients trusted the doctor because they believed he understood them and did not treat them as line item on a spreadsheet.
Now, there are doctors out there that do have those kinds of relationships with their patients. I’ve been fortunate to find one where I live that I’ve been with for 20+ years. Amen.
Our guest today is one that has made it his specialty to treat his patients with kindness, respect and dignity. If I lived in East Texas – HE would be my doctor. Praise God.

If you could pick one story from your book that inspired you the most, which story would it be?
I do remember one story that I still remember to this day. Can you share the story about the old farmer that would give himself an electric shock to get his heart beating right?
I found out you also have your own TV program now? Congratulations! Share a little about that?
Dr. Chuck, we are almost out of time. But you shared with me you have a special offer for our listeners today. Can you take this moment to share about that offer?

Help me welcome to the program the “best guy to see on the worst day of your life,” Dr. Charles Page! Also known as, Dr. Chuck!” Doc – thank you for taking the time to join us today.
You were on way back in 2019… episode number 618 or in that area. That was five years and almost 900 episodes ago! Praise God – how have you been, brother?
For those that may not have heard our prior conversation, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Dr. Charles Page?”
If I remember correctly, last time you were on, I think you mentioned something about you being a “coffee addict” – are you still a coffee connoisseur?
In the opening, I mentioned having a physician you can trust. Someone who actually cares about you. I know you call your medical practice a “BUSNISTRY” (combining business and ministry). Can you explain that term for us and how you use that to build that type of relationship with your patients?
We were recently on vacation in Texas and my wife had forgotten one of her prescriptions. My doctor had given me his personal cell phone number and had told me to call if I ever needed anything outside of hours. I didn’t want to call him, so I texted him.
He called back in 10 minutes and told me he had contacted the Pharmacy close to where we were at in Austin and phoned in the refill. I did not have to go through six voice mail messages and hope someone would call me back. That’s one reason I have stayed with him for over 20 years. It’s also only the second time I’ve ever had to call him over 20 years as well…
I don’t know if you give some of your patients your personal phone number, but how do you build a “Busnistry” of trust?
There is one story in your book where you share about doing little things the right way. It was a patient with a thyroid problem, is that right?
Tell us about your book, “A Spoonful of Courage.” When you sent this book to me prior to our other interview, I remember I read it one sitting. I could not put it down. It was that good. Can you share with us the format for this book?
You recently released another book, “Spoonful of Courage: Equations to Find Grace in Life’s Challenges.” Can you share a little about this book?
This book moves you from “victim to hero,” but this book uses “equations” to do this?
You emphasize that people are not alone. When facing medical challenges, is it normal for people to feel alone? Like, nobody cares?
Folks, I’ve read “A Spoonful of Courage” through – a couple of times. It is, not just a good book, this is GREAT BOOK. Amen! You really, really need to get a copy of this book in your hands.

The Heart Healer - The Pathway to Peace Cyndy Bartelli pt 9There are so many people in the world today that are hurting. Hurting in different ways, but hurting in their hearts that affect everything else. Not heart aches, but actual, hurting hearts. Pain that is deep rooted and affects them each and every day.
What can be done for folks that are hurting like this?
Well, that is where our guest today comes in…
Cyndy Bartelli is our guest today. She was on before, you can listen to our previous interviews in our archives. She is also the author of a great book – “The Heart Healer: God’s Response to Personal Prayer in a Hurting World,” and her study guide – “The Heart Healer Study Guide,” Amen!

Cyndy is here to minister to you with some examples of people who were in situations that may be similar to yours, maybe not exactly the same – but all of the examples are of people who are hurting. Amen.
Be sure to stay and listen to the end, as she has a free gift for you today.
Help me welcome back to the program, Cyndy Bartelli. Cyndy, thank you agreeing to come back on and minister to those again today who are hurting. I appreciate your time.
For those who may not have listened to our prior interviews, can you briefly share with us “Who is Cyndy Bartelli?”
And give us a basic introduction about your book, “Heart Healer.”
We have been sharing some background and information on several of the people that you have helped along the way. Last time we talked about heart healing as it related to “How to Make Things Right After PTSD.”
But today, I believe we are discussing “The Pathway to Peace” and how that relates to Heart Healing as well, correct?
Explain this, “Pathway to Peace.” What is it your talking about here?
Does this involve counseling, prayer, studying the Word? What is involved in obtaining this kind of “inner peace?”
Do you have any stories in your book you can give us an example of what we are talking about today?
Cyndi shares the story about a tight-rope walker and a wheelbarrow.
I know there are people listening to us right now that may be in the same or very similar situation as we have shared today. And I definitely know there someone listening to us right now that needs heart healing as it relates to this “Peace that passes all understanding.”
Can you pray with and for them right now and help to bring “heart healing” to them just like you have for the others we have talked about in prior episodes?
Before we go, I want you to share with us about your ministry, “Vertical Hearts” and how this ministry is helping you to spread the message of God’s extraordinary Love and ability to heal the broken places in people’s hearts…can you share a little bit for us?
How can they support Vertical Hearts and your outreach?
I appreciate you sharing that. I also appreciate you sharing the information you shared with us today about heart healing today and in all the past episodes we did.
Tell us about the free gift you have for our listeners today.
If someone wanted to purchase your book, “The Heart Healer: God’s Response to Personal Prayer in a Hurting World,”how can they do that? Is it on Amazon?
Cyndy, this has been so interesting. If someone would like to reach out to you, to ask a question or maybe even order your book, or possibly do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, as I shared in the beginning, people are hurting out there. It may be you. It may be someone close to you. It may be someone you work with. I can almost guarantee you know someone who is suffering a deep rooted heart ache that needs to be healed.
Cyndy’s book, “The Heart Healer” is a great first step. Drop down into the show notes and click the links right there to get in touch with Cyndy Bartelli and also to order her book, “The Heart Healer,” right now. Amen! Don’t wait.

Who is the God of Israel?TS WrightScott Wright is back with us today. Scott has been teaching us about the different ages of the Church and significant things the Bible and history has to say about them. Amen.
Today, we will be answering the question, “Who do the Israelites believe God truly is?”
To do that, help me welcome back to the program, our good friend, Scott Wright! Scott, good to talk to you again, buddy!
Alright, let’s jump into this…
Doesn’t every good Jewish person believe God is the God of Moses?
What do they believe about God?
Didn’t Moses reflect God to the people of Israel? You’d think they would have a pretty good grasp on these things, right?
Do think the Israelites just took their relationship with God for granted?
Why is all of this relevant to what we see happening today? Especially in the war between Israel and Hamas right now?
What should we, as Christians, take from this discussion today?
Scott, this has been so interesting as we discuss the current situation over in Israel. If someone wants more information or would like to ask a question, how can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below…
Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Scott Wright. Get in touch with him. Subscribe to his podcast. And be sure to purchase his journal and start learning all about the “God Centered Concepts” that he specializes in. Amen!
Do it right now before you forget about it later. Amen!

I enlisted in September of my senior year and left for basic training 7 days after graduation. But yours took a little different route, correct?What was your MOS in the Army?When I left service, I thought I would be able to get a job fairly quickly – but soon found out that was not the case. As I was contemplating my unique skill set, I realized there was not much opportunity for someone whose skill set was being trained to engage and destroy and make the other guy die for his country.Despite the leadership training, detailed planning, etc., it took me quite a while to find a good paying job.When you left service, you also found it a little difficult to get a job, correct?It took me quite a while to actually make the mindset transition from the military mindset to a civilian mindset. I’m talking about, “Something needs to be done – just do it.” Mission accomplishment, no matter how small the mission. In the civilian sector, it seemed like they were living by the adage of “Let’s put off till tomorrow that which could be accomplished today.” Did you find the same thing?Your podcast is the “TheMisFitNation” podcast.

Your first book is the “13 Step Guide to Success.” What would you like to share about that book?One of the steps in your book is, “Do not make resolutions, they never work. Instead, create a list of 12 goals and write them down.” Can you share a little bit about why you included that in your book?I loved the ones you included, I’ll just combine them here to save time. You tell your readers, “Go outside and breathe in the air. While outside, actually look up 3 inches and talk to another human – then bend down and pet the dog.” Explain that for our listeners and why that is especially true for our listeners who are vets…Your latest book is a work of fiction titled “Out of the Darkness.” It may be a work of fiction, but it depicts some true to life situations.

Are they on Amazon?I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below…Folks, Richard’s latest book, “Out of the Darkness,” is a novel that basically transcends the traditional war narrative.

Defeating Adversity Through Writing Lori KeeseyShe’s written for daily newspapers and trade publications and her freelance work has appeared in regional and trade magazines, specifically those specializing in space exploration. Yes, Lori was a space junkie, and worked for NASA in public outreach for nearly 20 years.She calls herself and “accidental entrepreneur” and started the “Accidental Blogger” to help build an author platform, where she shares stories of overcoming adversity. She knows a thing or two, unfortunately, about that subject, as she faced her own tragedy when she lost her 33 year old son.Lori Keesey considers herself among the lucky. Recently retired, Lori enjoyed a 40-plus-year career as a writer and now has time to pursue her childhood dream of writing fictional characters who make a difference. She is launching her first novel, “Always Think of Me” in April of 2024.I read you worked for nearly 20 years with NASA in public outreach. I’ve been an avid space nut since about the age of 3. One of my earliest memories is watching Scott Carpenter on the first American suborbital flight in 1962. In fact, I just returned from a trip to south Texas where I visited Stargate, where Elon Musk is launching his rockets. So I have to be careful and not let our conversation today start to take on a flight all its own…Let’s start with what motivated you to begin the “Accidental Blogger.” Was it a way to deal with your son’s death?How did your Faith help you deal with everything at that time?Does tragedy tend to challenge or change someone’s belief in God?I read that you came to the realization that he belonged to God his whole life, and was just “on loan to you” until his mission was completed. How did you come to that realization?I read that you came to the realization that tragedy comes in different forms our entire life. Can you explain for us what you mean by that?You also said that you measure time differently now. You reference pre and post tragedy. Do you find others use the same time measure after their experiences?People react differently when they experience some sort of tragedy. Some are angry, others sad. Still some have regret. Are all of these just moving through the different stages of grief differently or are they truly dealing with it in different manners?You also interviewed John Carter Cash about dealing with his addiction and, I guess you could say, how it runs in the family. What was the one thing you took from that interview that still sticks in your mind today?Let’s shift to a discussion about your book, “Always Think of Me.” Why did you write this book and why publish now?I know it’s supposed to be published soon… April (2024), correct?This is a novel. Can you give us a brief synopsis of the book?I’m not going to ask “who” inspired this story – but does it have some reality included that affected you in some way?When will it be available for sale?I have one more question for you that came out of the research I was doing to get ready for our interview today… Can you share with us a little bit about an interview you did with a publicity shy multimillionaire who shared his reasoning for his relentless pursuit of wealth. What were the reasons he shared with you in that interview?Lori, this has been so interesting. If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or possibly do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?How can someone find more information on your soon to be published book, “Always Think of Me?”I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.Folks, as you have heard Lori Keesey share, tragedy can strike with no notice – at any time. You need to be ready. You don’t have to go around like a worry wart, obsessed with an unknown, approaching tragedy. But you should have a good grounding in your Faith and in the Word of God.I’ve discovered in my life, many times when something unexpected happens, and it has, my Faith is the immediate pillar I grab onto. It is, sometimes, the only stable and strong support I can lean on. Lori found that out – as well as others you will read about on her blog.I urge you to click the links down below to get in touch with Lori Keesey. Check out her website. Read some of the fascinating things that she has on her blog page. There is some great content there from people she has interviewed. It will inspire you and give you plenty to think about. Amen!Lori, thank you for taking the time to join us today. I do appreciate you sharing all about your life, your blog, “The Accidental Blogger” and your upcoming book, “Always Think of Me.”Folks, that is all the time we have for today. For Lori Keesey and myself, this is Pastor Bob reminding you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!CONTACT INFORMATION: CONTACT FORM: https://lorikeesey.com/contact-lori-keesey/Website: https://lorikeesey.comBook: “Always Think of Me”
Veterans Success Club Joe O’ConnorAt the age of 14 Joe O’Connor was involved in a serious near fatal road incident that left him in a wheelchair for a year. Undaunted, Joe resumed his life and achieved things he was told were not physically possible.Then at the age of 37 whilst on selection with the UK’s Elite Special Forces (S.A.S.), He was blown off a mountain ridge during a military training exercise, falling some 400 feet, breaking his neck, leading to two spinal injury specialists determining a prognosis of lifelong paralysis.One thing Joe recognized, is these experiences presented him with an opportunity to choose how his life would pan out and, on both occasions, he chose to move forward using each incident as his guide to achieve greater success. He refused to accept what fate seemed to have handed him. On both occasions he made a conscious decision to improvise, adapt and overcome and, in doing so, transformed his life.Joe holds the personal proof that every single pivotal moment in your life, gives you the opportunity to choose how your life turns out - rather than let life just happen to you.Does that make sense?Joe has been coaching wealth management and financial strategies for over 35 years reaching over 5,000 people. Of those, 80 per cent have been veterans and business entrepreneurs. His programs have helped people all over the world to become financially free and created many millionaires.His is the founder of the “Transformation for Veterans” nonprofit – aimed at helping military veterans and ambitious business owners to increase their knowledge and achieve greater success and financial independence.Because of his military background and all that he has been through in life, overcoming challenge after challenge, Joe understands the unique challenges and triumphs you face – no matter your background. Amen!Joe was finally able to fulfill his personal mission to complete the New York City Marathon… amen!Help me welcome to the program, Joe O’Connor!

From Genesis to Revelation Michael McPadden pt 2If you are like me, when I first started reading the Bible, I flipped it open to Genesis Chapter 1 and started from there. That’s how we were taught to read, right? From front to back.
If you are like me, I made it through the first couple of books of the Bible and soon was “lost.” And when I got to Numbers… I was completely confused.
When I finally made it to the New Testament, it seemed to make a little bit more sense… but still, it seemed like a bunch of things that were just tossed together, mixed up and then piecemealed into a book.
I get that. It was a few years before I realized I was reading the Bible the wrong way. Maybe that is where you are now, today. Or you have come to that realization as well.
Our guest today is the author of a great book that will help us to study the Bible, understand more as we read the Bible and actually LEARN from the Bible. Amen!
Michael McPadden is the author of "Genesis to Revelation: Abraham's Promise Finding Christ and Seeing God.”
In his groundbreaking book, Michael invites us to embark on a journey through the Bible, unraveling its rich tapestry of stories to reveal the timeless truths about our existence—from our birth into perfection to our eventual resurrection into divine freedom. Through Genesis to Revelation, he sheds light on how the Bible actually flows together and reveals the Truth of our Lord and how we start our life, as babies, perfect… then lose our perfection, but – in the end, gain it back by the Grace of God and the shed blood of our Savior, Jesus the Messiah. Amen!
This is a great book and a great interview. Join us as we conclude our discussion, with Michael McPadden!
Your book emphasizes the interconnectedness of Old and New Testament teachings. Can you provide one or two examples of how stories or themes from the Old Testament foreshadow or complement the teachings of Jesus and Paul?
The book of Revelation is often seen as cryptic and difficult to interpret. How does your book shed light on its significance in understanding the culmination of humanity's spiritual journey, from birth to resurrection?
What is the main thing you want your readers to understand or appreciate about the Bible’s relevance to their own lives and spiritual journeys as they read your book?
On predestination, why does bad things happen to good people? Are they predestined to not live a good life?
How can someone obtain a copy of your book, "Genesis to Revelation: Abraham's Promise Finding Christ and Seeing God.” I take it is on Amazon?
If someone wanted to ask a question or find out more information or possibly do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, as I stated in the opening, when I first started reading the Bible, I was as confused as I could be. I wish there would have been a book like Michael McPadden’s “Genesis to Revelation” back then. It would have made my Bible study time a lot more enjoyable and informative and probably sped my spiritual journey along at a little faster pace. Amen!
The question I have for you today is this… are YOU ready to take control of your life and direct it into a life that is unbounded by fear and doubt? Are you ready to understand the Bible with a clearer concept of what Jesus accomplished for us at the Cross?
If so, you need to drop down into the show notes right now and order your copy of Michael McPadden’s book, "Genesis to Revelation: Abraham's Promise Finding Christ and Seeing God.” Do it right now. While you are thinking about it. Amen!
Get your copy of this great book, “From Genesis to Revelation” as Michael McPadden takes you on a journey through the ages, weaving together the narratives of the Old and New Testaments to reveal the timeless promise of Abraham, the significance of Christ, and the omnipresence of God throughout the Bible. With meticulous research and spiritual depth, Michael reveals connections that illuminate the path of faith for believers of all backgrounds.

Help me welcome to the program, Michael McPadden! Michael, it is a blessing to have you join us today! I do appreciate your time.
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just provided, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Michael McPadden?”
I love how you have laid your work out in this book. Basically as a narrative of human life from birth to spiritual resurrection. How did you come to interpret the Bible in this unique way?
How love how you show Jesus and Paul as central figures in reconnecting humanity with its lost divinity. Can you elaborate on their roles in this process and how their teachings guide us along the path of spiritual awakening?
Explain to us what you mean by “Paul’s Awakening?”

Inspired Living Scott Maderer pt 2I have a question for you as we get started today… Where are you at on your life’s journey “right now?” What is your calling? Is it a “God given calling?” Or are you doing something so that, someday, you can do your “God given calling?”

A Man Like You and Me Paul Joel pt 2Are you ready to understand Love on a deeper level? Do you have a desire to understand what True Love really means?Jesus shared this understanding of love through storytelling.

So he stopped all the treatment.MRI scans showed most of his brain had been destroyed.

First, tell us what Hashimoto’s Encephalitis is and how it affects the body…Were there any symptoms that alerted you that something was not right?What did the experts say about your disease?”I know many times, if you are in the same profession as someone you are counseling or treating, you can be more, let’s just say, “candid” with the person because they know what is happening. Is that how they treated and talked to you?Who was taking care of you during that time and do you have any memories of that time at all?In the intro, I read that your memory returned, I believe it was on April 29, 2022.

Letters from ElizabethCarrie PierceHave you ever experienced a sudden life change that involved losing someone you love? I know many people who have been married for 30, 40, 45 years and then, one of them passes away. That can be a lonely, very lonely road for the surviving spouse to travel.
Our guest today has cofounded a publishing house that caters to authors who want to know their conservative or traditional values will not be censored or changed. Morgan Pierce Media and Publishing Company, in addition to catering to authors of children’s book with wholesome stories that everyone can enjoy – also has a very special subscription newsletter service.
It is called, “Letters from Elizabeth.” These letters are sent out to subscribers every two weeks, to women over the age of 50, who suddenly find themselves alone. These letters are full of stories, insights, tips and recommendations for special products and also have thought provoking quotes, quips and a good recipe every now and then. Amen!
This sounds like the perfect gift for someone whom you may know that is lonely right now…suffering right now… needing something like this – right now. Amen!
Help me welcome to the program, Carrie Pierce, co-director of Morgan Pierce Media and Publishing Company. She is also an author herself, having published the children’s book “Abby Apple Tree” and others. Carrie, it is such a blessing to have you on the program today!
I love what you’re doing here… but before we get into that, let’s start with this question first. Other than that brief information, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Carrie Pierce?”
You have been writing for over 20 years. How and why did you get started doing what you do now with Morgan Pierce?
What kind of services does your publishing company offer?
What kind of authors do you serve? Both men and women?
I want to jump into this letter service, “Letters from Elizabeth.” Explain the reasoning why you started this subscription service and who does it serve?
I briefly went over some of the content in the letters during the introduction. Can you share more?
If someone reaches out to you, wanting to subscribe to “Letters from Elizabeth,” Is there a vetting process…? How do you vet them to make sure of their age, etc.?
I read some of the great testimonies you received. Can you give us an overview of what most of them have to say?
Your publishing company boldly declares that you do not edit or suppress conservative or traditional views. Why do you believe that is important to share with those coming to visit your website?
What is the typical author demographic that wants to work with your company?
Let’s jump back over to “Letters from Elizabeth” again. I briefly went over some of the content of those letters. Can you give some more ideas of the information the subscribers will receive?
Carrie, this has been so interesting. I know you and your partners are doing a great work over at Morgan Pierce Media and Publishing.
If someone has a question or would like to obtain more information, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
If someone wanted to subscribe to the “Letters from Elizabeth,” how can they do that?
I’ll put links in the show notes below.
Folks, as I said in the beginning… there are a lot of lonely women out there who have a companion by them for the greater part of their life… and now find themselves alone. I can’t imagine life without my wife. We’ve been together for 46 years. Think about this… you were raised by your parents for 17 or 18 or 19 years… then you marry someone and spend the next 40 or 50 years – TOGETHER…
Then, the Lord calls one home… that drastic change is going to be hard. Very hard.
These “Letters from Elizabeth” can be what connects an otherwise lonely woman with the inspiration to carry on. The inspiration that each day is a new day in their life.
I know that you know somebody that can use this service. You probably know several “somebody’s” that can use this service. In fact – it may be YOU, listening to us right now!
Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Carrie Pierce right now. Click the links down below. Take a look at their website at Morgan Pierce Media and Publishing. Subscribe to the “Letters from Elizabeth” series. Purchase some inspiring books and support a publishing company that is not afraid to take a stand for conservative values. Amen!

Increase Your Influence Trudy BeermanIn today’s society, money is often the focus of, well – everything! Even if you do not want to focus on money – the fact you are trying NOT to focus on money has you focused on money! Amen! Don’t shout me down when I’m preaching good.
Our guest today helps people to shift their focus from money (which has become their god) to becoming focused on THE GOD who gives them the money! Amen! Money is not “the root of all evil” as some claim. But scripture is very specific in 1 Timothy 6:10 that says, “THE LOVE of money is the root of all evil.” The key is to “root out the evil” and then all your left with is the money! Amen! Then you can do what God has called you do with that money. Praise God!
Trudy Beerman is our guest today. Trudy was on way, way back in 2018. Episode number 216 I believe. That was almost 1250 episodes ago! Amen!
Trudy is a TV producer, radio show host and best-selling author with many financial industry credentials to her credit. She is a Christian Stewardship Strategist who helps move Christian business owners from places of worrying about money to a place where they can #BeMore #HaveMore and #GiveMore. Amen! She also served as a Dave Ramsey table leader at her church and was a former member of “Kingdom Advisors.”
Does that sound like a place YOU would like to be? I know it does me! Amen!
Help me welcome – BACK – to the program, Trudy Beerman!
Trudy – it has been a few years. It’s hard to believe it has been almost six years since we last talked. Amen!
So, to catch us up on what you have been doing, let me start by asking you this question first. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Trudy Beerman?”
Can you share with us how you became involved in the “Biblical Prosperity” type of business?
I have heard that you are sometimes mentioned in the same circles with Dave Ramsey, etc. But you operate in a little different area than Dave Ramsey’s organization, correct?
Your brand is called “REACHology.” What does that phrase mean?
In your opinion, is it better to be a big fish in a small pond? Or should we try to jump to a bigger pond where there are bigger fish?
You are a doctoral candidate at Liberty University and you are study “influential reach.” This is what we were just talking about. How are you applying this to doctrinal studies?
How are you able to help the average person increase their reach with your REACHology program?
You also have your own television channel called “Profitable Stewardship, Inc.,” or PSI for short.
Tell us a bit about using PSI-TV to increase our influential reach…
You share that if you can do YouTube, you can do TV. Don’t we need to have fancy cameras and light sets to do television?
I do love the part where you shared before that God inspired you to use your talent and invest it in helping others. And when you wondered if anyone would even listen to you, as there are other people out there who also specialize in helping increase influence, etc. Can you share what God downloaded to you that moved you off the needle and into what you do now?
As we get ready to close, I do want to go over, what you call, the REACHology Score. What is that and why is it important to us?
It’s also not just about reaching others… it also involves reaching the correct groups of people. I mean, if I was a computer programmer, I could advertise and promote my products to, I don’t know, roofers or something. There may be a couple of roofers that may be interested, but most would not be. I believe you have developed an AP called your “Audience Finder AI” that helps with this. Can you share about how it works and how it can help?
You are using this same system to help a local politician identify her weak areas in her campaign. How is that working for her in her?
Trudy, this has been so interesting. If someone wanted to get in touch with you or ask a question, how can they do that?
You also have an offer to help them to “Get the Word Out” about what they are doing and possibly even put their information on television. How does that work?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes. Amen.
Folks, Trudy is the real deal. She has been on our program before and she has grown even more in the services she helps believers with. Amen! You need… listen to me here… you NEED to drop down into the show notes and reach out to Trudy Beerman, right now, while you are listening to me. Amen!
Click the links below and get in touch with her. Check out her website and all the things she can help you with. Be sure to check out the information on being on her program and sharing your information to here audience. That is the main way you can grow your influence. I preach this all the time to our podcast audiences. Amen!
Drop down into the show notes and click the links right there. You will not be disappointed. Amen!

Understanding the Shadows of Time John NewtonHave you ever gone to the movie theatre to watch a movie and it seemed like you already knew what was going to happen? As if you has seen this movie before?
Or perhaps you are traveling and on a sight-seeing trip you give directions to where you are headed, even though you have never visited this area before?
Have you ever watched a movie and you could see some aspects that “seem” to reflect Biblical events or themes, but, it did not seem “just right” in some way?
Well, our guest today is making a difference by taking on subject matter like I just shared – and so much more! Praise God!
John Newton is our guest today. He is an author, an electrical engineer, robotics programmer, part-time farmer and is the father of seven. Amen. He is the host of an amazing YouTube Channel, John Newton Scifi. His tag line is “Bringing the past to life and the future into focus.” Amen!
His first book is titled, “The Healing Stone” and is book number one in what will be called “The Shadows of Time Series.” This is a Christian SciFi novel series. Amen!
Help me welcome to the program, John Newton! John, thank you for taking the time to join us today!
First question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is John Newton?”
Where do you get the ideas for your stories? I mean, to think up some of this stuff seems like the hard part, right?
Your YouTube channel discusses modern movies, etc. and relates Biblical stories to the movie?
You state the goal of your channel is how to use the themes in movies and shows – and books – to help spread the gospel message. How do you accomplish that?
I know many of my friends will go a watch a movie or series of something that would have a Biblical inference to it… I won’t say a Biblical reference, but an “inference.” Then, when consider it and watch it, I’m blown away by subtle, but obvious, inferences. You have taken that to the next level by actually creating a YouTube Channel that discusses this subject!
What led you to begin dissecting these movies looking for these kinds of inferences?
I saw something on your website when I was doing my prep for this interview and thought it was interesting…
In Jurassic Park, they discussed the “Butterfly Effect.” So I think we are familiar with the concept. But you discuss a few different versions of this and call them Paradoxes. Can you explain the three paradoxes for our listeners?
Explain for us the paradox used in the movie “Back to the Future.” I loved that movie series…
I read the post you titled, “How to Time Travel and Not Kill Your Grandfather.” I think that concept explains this idea quite well. Can you briefly go over those ideas with us?
How does all of this come back to what you do with your YouTube videos and tie it all into Jesus and Faith, etc.?
You share this is to dig into theology and apologetics. How do you accomplish merging these two subjects into entertainment?
Share about your book series, “The Shadows of Time,” with us. This is a Christian SciFi novel series. Your first book is titled, “The Healing Stone.” Can you share a little about your book?
Where can someone obtain a copy of your book, “The Healing Stone?”
John, this is so interesting. If someone has a question or would like more information, how can get in touch with you?
Your YouTube Channel is “Newton SciFi” correct?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, it is so important that you be able to reach people where they are at. It’s been that way for ages. That’s the reason Jesus had to come to earth. To reach people where they were at. That’s the reason he did not only focus on preaching in the Temple or Synagogues… he went to where the people were gathered together.
That’s the reason He used parables to explain concepts to them. He was a story teller.
John Newton is a story teller in our day and time and he is making an impact by opening the eyes of believers to what is actually reflected in the modern movies, etc. By doing this, he is educating us (you and I) on these hidden inferences – and this allows us to have an intelligent conversation with those around us.
They could say, “I went to see such and such movie – it was great!” Then you can respond with something like, “Did you see the part where…. (whatever it is you can talk about in the movie)? When they say “Yeah, that was cool” or whatever they say. You can then respond with a little bit of apologetics that you learned from John! Praise God! You can open the eyes of those around you simply by understanding these small details of the movies or TV shows or books. Amen!
Drop down into the show notes and reach out to John Newton. Visit his YouTube Channel and website. You will not be disappointed. I’ve already subscribed… the information on there is classic. I mean it is some really great stuff. I find myself checking back in every day or so to see if he’s posted something new. You’ll hear me start preaching on some of these things soon, too. Amen!

The Heart Healer: AFTER PTSD Cyndy Bartelli pt 8There are so many people in the world today that are hurting. Hurting in different ways, but hurting in their hearts that affect everything else. Not heart aches, but actual, hurting hearts. Pain that is deep rooted and affects them each and every day.What can be done for folks that are hurting like this?Well, that is where our guest today comes in…Cyndy Bartelli is our guest today. She was on before, you can listen to our previous interviews in our archives. She is also the author of a great book – “The Heart Healer: God’s Response to Personal Prayer in a Hurting World,” and her study guide – “The Heart Healer Study Guide,” Amen!But today, she is back for part eight of this series, Amen! There are so many hurting people, many listening to us right now, that will benefit from hearing real life examples the Cyndy is doing to bring “heart healing” to people in her daily walk. Amen!Cyndy is here to minister to you with some examples of people who were in situations that may be similar to yours, maybe not exactly the same – but all of the examples are of people who are hurting. Amen.Be sure to stay and listen to the end, as she has a free gift for you today.Help me welcome back to the program, Cyndy Bartelli. Cyndy, thank you agreeing to come back on and minister to those again today who are hurting. I appreciate your time.For those who may not have listened to our prior interviews, can you briefly share with us “Who is Cyndy Bartelli?”And give us a basic introduction about your book, “Heart Healer.”We have been sharing some background and information on several of the people that you have helped along the way. Last time we talked about heart healing as it relates to PTSD.But today, I believe we are discussing “How to Make Things Right After PTSD,” as it relates to heart healing, correct?Of course, PTSD is something that a lot of military veterans are suffering from, but it does not just apply to veterans, does it?Last time you shared how heart healing can, well, “heal” PTSD. But a lot of people that suffer with or suffered with PTSD, may have hurt a lot of those they are close to along the way. Is that what you are referring to as “making things right after PTSD?”This involves more than just saying “I’m sorry.” Correct?Would it help if they became involved in helping others to receive “heart healing” or just simply helping others – who suffer with PTSD?I know there are people listening to us right now that may be in the same or very similar situation as we have shared today. And I definitely know there someone listening to us right now that needs heart healing, whether about PTSD or something else. Can you pray with and for them right now and help to bring “heart healing” to them just like you have for the others we have talked about in prior episodes?Before we go, I want you to share with us about your ministry, “Vertical Hearts” and how this ministry is helping you to spread the message of God’s extraordinary Love and ability to heal the broken places in people’s hearts…can you share a little bit for us?How can they support Vertical Hearts and your outreach?Tell us about the free gift you have for our listeners today.I appreciate you sharing that. I also appreciate you sharing the information you shared with us today about PTSD as well.If someone wanted to purchase your book, “The Heart Healer: God’s Response to Personal Prayer in a Hurting World,” how can they do that? Is it on Amazon?Cyndy, this has been so interesting. If someone would like to reach out to you, to ask a question or maybe even order your book, or possibly do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.Folks, as I shared in the beginning, people are hurting out there. It may be you. It may be someone close to you. It may be someone you work with.

What in the World is Happening NowTom Donnan pt 2Tom Donnan is back with us today as we discuss Bible prophecy in relation to current events – and do we have some current events happening right now that definitely relate to Bible Prophecy. Amen!This is Part two of a great conversation with Tom Donnan.Miami Mall video was examined and computer analysis showed the “10 foot tall creature walking in front of the mall” to simply be 3 people walking side by side, filmed from a distance.City wide alert generated a huge police response. Here is the video from a newscast which debunked it as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFEWkNdtR4wNow, you have shared a video from Pastor John Kilpatrick talked about the emergence of UFO’s and aliens months ago in the message “What if?” And this is dealing with the increase in alien appearances. You and I have talked about how the coming announcement will be something to the effect of “We are who you call God,” or something to that effect, right? And how, after the Rapture, these beings will say they “Got rid of the doubters,” or something to that effect…"WHAT IF...?" It's Coming and Be Prepared! | A Prophetic End-Times Message from John Kilpatrick - YouTubeAre we placing too much metal in space? Starts at the 6 minutes mark.Is it too late? Did man finally go TOO far! What NOW? - YouTubeYou see Mass Layoffs coming across America in the near future, don’t you? Why is that?Aggressive Layoffs Coming By March, Economy On Last Legs | Danielle DiMartino Booth with David Lin - YouTubeYou have noticed some things beginning to happen just in the last week or so, basically the last week of January. Can you share what it is you mean by a “Spiritual Change?”Since 1-1-24 there has been a spiritual change.1. People experiencing demonic attacks has increased. 2. There are those who have thrown open the door to the occult with little to no consequences. But that has change. 3. I received calls from Wyoming, Louisiana and Texas about evil issues.
Since 1-1-24 There has been an increase of Godly activity.1. Conversations with people experiencing God in new and wonderful ways without understanding what is happening to them and what it means. This is happening repeatedly in England 2. I had a chat with a woman from Florida. She was seeing God move through her intercession and she was experiencing the Holy Spirit. However, we chatted over two hours, she was believing things that were outside of Scripture. I invested into her helping to get her aligned with the word of God to gain maximum flow of the Holy Spirit.
Tom, we are about out of time. I’d like you to pray with someone right now who may be listening to this and realize, “They need Jesus.” Could you do that right now?Tom, this has been so interesting. How can someone reach out to you to ask a question or get more information?I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.Folks, our discussion today was not to instill fear – but Faith. Faith in the Name of Jesus. Faith in the Bible. Faith in Biblical Prophecy. Faith that NONE OF THIS is happening by happenstance. None of this is taking God by surprise.But ALL OF THIS is leading to what are called, “The End Times.”If you prayed that prayer with Tom Donnan, reach out and let him know. Go to church. Walk by Faith and not by sight. Don’t be moved by what you see or hear – be moved by the Word of God. Amen!CONTACT INFORMATION:Healingthenation1776@gmail.comSix free books can be found at: Home | Zoe Healing Center
What in the World is Happening NowTom Donnan pt 1Tom Donnan is back with us today as we discuss Bible prophecy in relation to current events – and do we have some current events happening right now that definitely relate to Bible Prophecy. Amen!Lab Grown Brain Connected to a Microchip Recognized Human Voices
Let’s talk about Neuromorphic Engineering. Where one company, “Brain Chip” is actually commercially selling brain tissue that is connected to a computer chip. I have to ask, how did this get on your radar? What motivated you to research brain tissue computer chips?- Brian tissue connect computer architecture. It is connected with input and output signals.- connected to a supercomputer preform 200 trillion functions per second.- computer needs a lot of energy to operate; human minds require low energy and preform for decades.- Brainowave, and high density computer electrode.- it begins to identify human voices- turning into a brain chip.Lab Grown Brain Connected to a Microchip Recognized Human Voices (youtube.com)You also have an update for us about the “Red Heffers” that are, right now, in Israel, correct?
Red Heffer Update: 2024 - The Red Heifer Sacrifice (youtube.com)This lines up with a lot of things happening in Israel right now. And the United Nations is organizing a coalition of countries condemning Israel for their continued response to the attacks on October 7th. Which goes right along with what the Bible says will happen… Israel is alone in the world. We can even see the United States starting to waiver in our support of Israel – at least at the government level. Not good… not good at all.Did you see the uptick in “jellyfish UFO’s being spotted?” Tom has done some research and there are some VFX artists that were able to debunk this video and some other videos people have been posting. The link to the video is below: https://youtu.be/hRFSXWDmBYM?si=rbK7ljnscxCUGmAKFolks, our discussion today was not to instill fear – but Faith. Faith in the Name of Jesus. Faith in the Bible.

A Brand in Your HandGlenn RudinIf you are in business, or you have a podcast, etc. – you are establishing your brand. This brand is what distinguishes you from others out in the world. If I mention the word, “COKE” – what comes to mind. For the majority of you, probably the soda drink, “Coca-Cola.” But what if nobody knew what that was?I remember, when I first joined the Army. I was stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas for basic training. We finally earned our first 2 hour pass. I headed to the snack bar to have some of that GOOD FOOD that I had missed the past month or so. I went to the counter and asked for “A pop of coke.”The lady looked at me as if I was speaking French. She said, “What do you want?” I said “A pop, please.” She said, “What’s that?” I said, “A coke. A drink?” She then said, “OH, you want a soda?”You see, in Michigan, it’s called “pop.” Down south, it’s called “soda.”There are some that may have thought of “cocaine” when I said “coke.”But the majority, I hope, though of Coca-Cola. Did you imagine the red and white can? Or the slender bottle? Or the dark drink with bubbles and the glass sweating a little bit because its cold? That is all branding.What is YOUR BRAND?That is what our guest will be sharing with us today. All about branding.

It’s called, “Message Master Academy.” Tell us a little bit about that?It’s a weekly class. Do you go over just one of these aspects each week, so it’s a cumulative effect? Or do you do a basic overview of them all? Just share a little about they can expect?So there is no cost for this class?

Thy Kingdom Come Cedric SydnorIf you are a believer, you have to know that we are living in the “last of the last days” right now. Even unbelievers are sensing “something” is about to happen. They just don’t know what.
For believers, although this situation is an answer to our prayers, there is still some anxiety over loved ones and friends that may not have given their hearts to the Lord or may just outright reject any discussion of salvation, eternity, etc.
What will happen to them?
What about our pets? Will they be with us in Heaven?
What about “second chances?”
What about those who have never heard the Gospel yet?
What about… well, the list could go on and on.
Tim LeHaye and Jerry Jenkins released a book (that was turned into a movie) titled, “Left Behind.” It shook the world with what life would be like after the Rapture. It is still a best seller on Amazon. Amen!
Our guest today has written a book titled, “Thy Kingdom Come.” It was inspired by “The Left Behind Series,” but covers a few other elements of concern along the way.
Cedric Sydnor is the author and he is our guest today.
Help me welcome to the program, Cedric Sydnor!
Cedric, I appreciate you taking the time to join us today!
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Cydric Sydnor?”
You are fan of the “Left Behind Series.” But what motivated you to write your own series on the topic of the “Rapture?”
You address some topics that were left out of the “Left Behind Series.” I outlined a couple of them in my introduction. But you say this book focuses on the “individuality” of those left behind. What do you mean by that?
Let’s take on the subject of “pets.” What has your research found concerning “pets going to Heaven?”
What about women who are pregnant when the Rapture occurs? The babies are not yet “born” into the earth?
How about people that have not heard the Gospel as of the time of the Rapture?
You also discuss the Catholic Church in your book. What about the Catholic Church?
Is it possible for those left behind to realize the mistake they made and be given, for lack of a better phrase, a “second chance?”
Your book is about to be released, probably just before this episode is published…
Do you have a website or anyplace where we can find more information on your book?
What would you like to share with our audience that we have not yet covered?
“With a Soveriegn God there is no science fiction.
If someone has a question or would like to receive more information, or possibly to do an interview such as this… how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, the “soon return of Jesus” is real. You would have to be living under a rock right now if you don’t see all of the events happening around us are building to one, climatic event. Amen!
And even Jesus said, “The very rocks will cry out!” Praise God.
Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Cedric Sydnor right now. Stay up to date with his book and be sure to order it as soon as it comes out. He will let me know and I’ll send out a blast as well. Amen!

First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Donald Galade?”
You’re in the financial services industry. You’ve been doing this since 1987. That’s about the time I was getting involved in the industry as well. I was selling life insurance to the military at the time. That was the market I was familiar with due to my military service. I did pretty good. But I missed my military comradery and became a police officer as it was set up along the same way.
But, I said all that because I know how difficult it can be at times. So my hat is off to you brother for making your business so successful. I love it. And the work you do to help Christian investors is needful and beneficial.

You share that there is a New World Order that requires the participation of every world leader, including US Presidents. And this has been going on since 1900?
What if the President says “no?”
You share that what we are witnessing right now, building in the Middle East, is the foundation of WW3. Can you explain why that is important to the End Times?
Your book reviews on Amazon are off the charts. This is a hot topic, for sure, right now. Especially as we are coming up on the 2024 election.

Film: “The Voice of John” (view online)
The Old Testament and Jesus Mark StoufferWhile arguing with Jewish authorities and religious leaders, Jesus told them, “You search the Scriptures and believe that in them, you have eternal life. But it are these scriptures that bear witness of ME.” That is in John 5:39.
That is True… many people have read the Bible. Some many times. I pray the Word has done its work in converting their hearts. Amen! But some still have questions.
Many people today that have questions are actually Jewish people who are “waiting for the Messiah.” How can we show them that Jesus already came the first time – and is about to come for a second time?
How can we reach these Jewish people that are searching the scriptures of the Old Testament, looking for answers?
Our guest today is helping that process. Amen!
Mark Stouffer is a Christian author who has done a deep dive on the what is known as the “Tanakh” – which are the first five books of the Bible, written by Moses. They are “Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. These five book are sacred to the Jewish Faith. But yet, Jesus told them, “They talk about ME.”
He is writing a series of books, with the first book now published. It’s titled, “Hesed: Does the Tankh Foreshadow Jesus?” This is a great book and we will discussing it today. Amen!
Help me welcome to the program, Mark Stouffer! Mark, I appreciate you joining us today!
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Mark Stouffer?”
Your first book is “Hesed: Does the Tanakh Foreshadow Jesus?” It is written for Jewish people that want to know the Truth about Jesus – and for Christians who want to learn about the Tanakh, or Old Testament.
Why did you write this book and why publish it now?
One thing you bring out in your book is the issue of “moral guilt is not decisively resolved.” Can you share what you mean by that?
I know we don’t have time to go into a lot of details. But one thing I want you to bring out is some of the ways in which some Biblical heroes suffered just like Jesus did. Or we could say it another way, how Jesus suffered just like some of the prophets of old (since they came first). Can you share just a little bit of those similarities with us?
This is going to be a series of books. Is that right?
Explain the series for us…
What do you see God doing in the world today that is getting everything ready for the return of Jesus?
I believe that every believer alive today has a purpose for being born in this day – and this time – which God wants them to accomplish. What are your thoughts on this?
Mark, this is so interesting. How can someone order a copy of your book, “Hesed: Does the Tanakh Foreshadow Jesus?”
When do you anticipate book two to be released? (March 2024)
If someone has a question or would like to get in contact with you for some additional information – or perhaps to do an interview such as this… how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, this book, “Hesed: Does the Tanakh Foreshadow Jesus?” is going to be a great resource for you to have in your library. I’ve already bought mine and the way Mark has laid out this information is informative, interesting and gets the juices going in your though processes. I highly recommend this book. Drop down into the show notes and order your copy right now – while you are thinking about it. Get another for your pastor and a few more for the Bible study classes, too. Amen! Praise God! Mark Stouffer has done the hard part, the research and writing. Now it’s your turn to help “Get the Word Out” by sharing this magnificent book. Amen! Drop down into the show notes and order your copy today.

Mister Productivity Mark StruczewskiIn the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, finding a balance between our personal and professional responsibilities can often seem like an insurmountable challenge. The constant stream of tasks and distractions and interruptions that can leave us feeling overwhelmed, drained and that are robbing us of the clarity and focus we need to thrive.
But our guest today is a guiding light in the world of productivity who specializes in helping individuals, just like you and I, to cut through the noise and to transform the way you approach your day.
Mark Struczewski, affectionately known as "Mister Productivity™," has years of experience as a productivity coach. Mark brings a fresh approach to your daily grind. He’s not just about managing tasks, he helps you to reframe how you view and handle your day. This ultimately leads you to a more productive and fulfilling life. He is also an author of a few books, one of them is “How to Overcome Roadblocks on the Path to Your Success” and is available on Amazon…In his time with us today, he will fill us in a few ways to make our days more productive in this distraction filled world. Amen! In addition, Mark, in his own words, is “Sold out for Jesus!”
Mark has been on our program before, it’s been a couple of years – but he’s back today! Help me welcome back to the program, Mr. Productivity himself, Mark Struczewski!
Mark, it’s good to talk with you again. It’s been a little while!
The last time you were on was 2019… way back about episode 578 or something. That was almost 900 episodes ago. I know there has been a lot going on since then… so let’s get started with this question I always ask first…
For those that may not have heard our first conversation, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Mark Struczewski?”
Let’s catch up a little bit… how did you first get started in becoming a “productivity expert?”
When someone reaches out to you, and they ask, “How can I become more productive?” I know that is a big, open ended question…so how do you try and narrow them down? What kind of questions should they already be asking themselves in this area?
Let me ask you this – what are the Top 3 strategies YOU USE to help you achieve more in your own business? I think that will shed some light for some of us to evaluate where we are at in our own self evaluations.
What are some of the things you learned, over the years of doing this, that you wish you would have known when you started and that you try to pass along to your clients?
I know everybody asks you about the good stuff. But, as we get ready to wrap up, tell us about something that did not go the way “Mr. Productivity” figured it would – and what you learned from that?
You also have a podcast, the “Mr. Productivity Podcast.” What do you share on that program?
Before we run out of time, let’s talk about your coaching program. How are helping others to do everything we just talked about? Getting to be more productive in their life and business?
Mark, this has been so good and I’m so blessed we were able to catch up. Is there anything you would like to say to our listeners before we close?
If someone has a question or would like more information on your coaching program or the podcast or anything we have discussed, how can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of that in the show notes below.
Folks, who out there does not want (or NEED) to become more productive? Not just in your job, but in LIFE itself? Amen! You can improve. You can become more productive. You can do this and with Marks help, do it quickly and more efficiently! Amen!
Drop down into the show notes below and click the links right there to reach out to Mark Struczewski and see what he can do to help you take these very important steps in your life. Amen!

I believe I read it is 12 days long and is a total of 120 hours. What do your students learn during that time and what certifications do they leave with?As we get ready to close, is there anything you would like to say to our listeners that we have not covered?John, this is all so interesting. I could talk to you for hours about this.

Decisions you make on a daily basis. What clothes to wear… what to eat for lunch… who to marry… what house to buy… what job should you apply for, etc.Your Faith is definitely based on a decision.

I know you’re going to get a lot of great information today… so grab a pen and paper and prepare to take some notes. Amen! Help me welcome to the program, John James Santangelo.John, it is a blessing to have you join us today, brother! I’ve been looking forward to our conversation!First question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is John James Santangelo?”Let’s start with this… I know you started at age 15 as a professional magician – I’ve always been fascinated with that profession. I’m nowhere near a professional status, but I was able to keep my grandkids entertained… I’m always picking up another illusion package along the way from time to time… How did this impact you and did this influence your interest in the NLP line of work?Now, NLP stands for Neuro Linguistic Programming. Some folks may think that is hypnosis or mind-control or something. But it’s not… can you share with us what it is – in layman’s terms?Most people think it is a form of getting people to buy things… used in sale and marketing or the “law of attraction” in relationships and things like that. But it is used in a wide variety of things. Can you share a few of those with us?Most people probably never thought they were being exposed to NLP in those examples. Like weight loss or leadership skills or coaching programs… How does NLP help in, say “weight loss?”Quality decision can bring a greater quality to your life. That is what we are talking about today with John James Santangelo. I believe you received something today that will benefit you down the road.

The Fall of a Nation TS WrightScott Wright is back with us today as we continue to study details about the nation of Israel that, for some, may have never heard before. Scott is the author of the “God Centered Concept Journal” and has a unique insight into prophecy and the end times. He is also a podcaster, conducting teachings on these subject and the podcast has the same name, the “God Centered Concept Podcast.” Amen!Help me welcome back to the program, Scott Wright! Scott, it’s great to talk to you again!Last time, you shared information on the importance of God establishing that Israel was to have only “one place of worship,” which was the Temple.As Moses taught, the Temple was built according the “vision and instructions” he received directly from God…The Temple was also where God was to always have His presence in and among the people of Israel.I guess we can start with this question. If God had His presence in and among His people – why did the Israelites fall so far out of God’s Grace until they actually lost their nation?You shared before that Israel, basically split up into differing factions. Did this accelerate their “fall from Grace?”I can see this happening in the United States right now. We used to “One Nation Under God” – but we are far, far from that now. That must have been what it was like for Israel as well, right?What about the Synagogues? They were supposed to be local gathering places where the people could have easy access to and hear the Word taught, etc. Much like our local churches are today. Was that a contributing factor to split into factions?It would be like the Catholics and Protestants and Methodists and Baptists, etc.? Right?Scott, this is so interesting. If someone wanted to reach out to you and ask a question or do an interview such as this, how can they get in touch with you?I’ll put the links to all this in the show notes below.Folks, as Scott has shared with us, taking different “factions” and splitting into different groups, is not always a good thing. It is ok to mix and mingle with those you find you have similar tastes and preferences, sure. But to split and never mix and mingle – well, that’s how wars start for one. But more importantly, it can destroy the Faith of a nation. We have seen it happen with Israel, as Scott has shared. We have seen it happen here, in this nation as well.We used to be “One Nation Under God.” Now, that statement is far from being true anymore. As sad as that sounds, it can be fixed. It cannot be fixed in the natural. You cannot rely on Congress to “fix it.” It has to start with our hearts. I’m talking about our Spiritual Hearts. We have to start with our relationship with God. And that has to start with our relationship with Jesus. For “Nobody has access to the Father but by ME,” Jesus said. Amen!Get into the Word. Study the Word. Apply the Word to your life. Not only will YOUR LIFE get better… but it will start to spread. Amen!CONTACT INFORMATION: Email: gccgodcenteredconcept2038@gmail.comBook: “God Centered Concept Journal: Making God’s Word My Ways.” - on AmazonPodcast: The God Centered Concept
Life IS Jesus Christ Shawn PaulHave you ever wondered what it would be like to just go “all in” for Jesus? What would that mean for you. Don’t worry about what someone else did. Don’t worry about somebody else is going to do. Just “knowing” this is what the Lord has called you to do – and then just DO IT. Just go all in…What would that be like?Would you go to a foreign land? Would you teach others about the Word? Would you go into full time ministry? Would you go into becoming a caretaker of a church or church grounds? Really – the possible ways are endless. The only requirement is – you’re doing it for the Lord. Amen!Our guest today has followed that path. Shawn Paul owned his own construction company. He became successful in real estate, flipping houses and was living the life. But, he gave it all up to become a full-time missionary, blending his faith and technical skills to impact Central America and around the world, with the Gospel. Amen!He believes you can follow the plan God has for your life and when you walk firmly in your faith, the extraordinary will follow. There is nothing a person cannot do if God has told you to do it. Amen!He is also a podcaster, a radio broadcaster, short term missions leader and is raising up and training pastors through a 2 year Bible College program in partnership with Mark Barklay Ministries. Amen!Shawn has taken a break from all of that to give us a few minutes of his time today… so help me welcome to the program, the founder of “Morning Star Missions,” Shawn Paul. Amen! Shawn it is so good to finally get you to sit down for a minute and come on the program! I do appreciate it!First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Shawn Paul?”You’re affiliated with Mark Barclay Ministries. Mark Barclay has a great ministry based up in Michigan. That’s where I’m from originally. Great man of God. Amen.You’re originally from Iowa, I believe I read. You now live in Guatemala as a full time missionary and serving the Lord there.Let’s start with your background. Were you always interested in preaching and teaching the Word or did you was it something that evolved over time?I know… I believe… that God has a unique calling for each and every person. He uses our experiences, our pains, our failures and our victories to form us into the person He needs us to be.Your calling started by going into business. God needed you to learn those principles so He could use you later. How did God lead you to start your business and how did that evolve over the years?Living in a foreign land is not easy. I know… I lived three years in Korea. It is also enjoyable, exciting and all of that. But there are challenges. My unique calling is to minister to the people of my own land…God specifically used Ezekiel chapters 2 and 3 to call me into the ministry. That evolved into ministering to the world through the Internet and to help others do the same. I know…I love what I do, despite the challenges.How does God give you His Peace in knowing you are doing, right now, exactly what He needs you to be doing? How do you “know that you know that you know?”Tell us about your podcast, “Life is Jesus Christ” podcast. How long have you been podcasting?How often to you release new episodes?Shawn, this has been so interesting. If someone would like more information on you or your ministry, or possibly would like to get you on an interview like this – how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?You also have a support page on your website for the ministry work. Amen! I’ll put that link in the show notes as well.Folks, the work like Shawn Paul is doing is vital to fulfilling the Lord’s command to “Take the Gospel to the Ends of the Earth.” It is vitally important that we support ministries like Morning Star Ministries and folks just like Shawn Paul. Amen!You’ve heard me say before, every person – every believer – is called into ministry. There are those that GO, like Shawn Paul. There are those that HELP. It could be a ministry of helps at your church or short term missions trips, etc. Then, there are the MOST IMPORTANT ministers of all – those that SEND those that Go. Amen!That is the finance ministry. It costs money to preach the Gospel. You may not think it is that much… but believe me, it costs money. And you may not be called to Go or to go and help those that go. If that’s the case – YOU ARE CALLED into the SEND ministry of God.Folks like Shawn Paul cannot not fulfill their calling without support of folks like YOU. Amen! Every person Shawn and his team wins to the Lord – YOU get the same credit as if you were on the ground with him. Amen! WHY? Because you fulfilled YOUR CALLING and he was able to fulfill HIS CALLING – but both of you are called by GOD. Amen!Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Shawn Paul right now. Right NOW! Go to his website by clicking the links below and click on that DONATE TAB right now, too. ANY offering can be multiplied multiple times over by the Lord. Amen! If every person listening to me right now would pledge to just send $1 per month for the next year… do you realize how much that would impact Shawn Paul’s ministry work over the next year? Amen!Click the links down below, right now, and reach out to Shawn Paul right now.CONTACT INFORMATION:Email: shawn@lifeisjesuschrist.comWebsite: https://www.morningstarmissions.orgDONATE LINK: https://www.morningstarmissions.org/donate.htmlPodcast: https://www.lifeisjesuschrist.com/podcast
Christian Professionals of Atlanta Ana MegrelishviliNetworking in business is so important, more important than some people realize. If you are trying to run a business by yourself, making decisions by yourself, planning everything by yourself, creating marketing plans by yourself – you are BY YOURSELF.But, when you can network with other professionals, you can “pick their brains” (so to speak) and bounce ideas of those who have gone before you in the battles you are now facing. You can talk about problems you are facing, hurdles you’ve encountered. You can bounce ideas of others. Some may even pitch in and help you accomplish your goals, etc.With Christians, it is especially important. Not only are you in business, but you are living out your values (at least you should be). That can create all sorts of additional pressures that most secular minded businesses are not really concerned with – but you are!What if you could network with business professionals who are also living Christian values, reflecting Christian values and advocating Christian values in their businesses? That would be WIN-WIN-WIN and WIN – amen!Our guest today is the founder of an organization called, “Christian Professionals of Atlanta.”Ana Megrelishvili is here to share information about this organization whose mission is to bring together Christian professionals in the Atlanta, GA area and help them to develop meaningful relationships through common faith, values and philanthropy. Amen! This organization goes out of its way to achieve a positive impact on the community service to others.Ana also helps adults find their own path to positive change through her own coaching business, “Find Courage to Change.” Amen!Ana is also the author of a great book, “Finding Courage to Change.”Help me welcome to the program, Ana Megrelishvili. Ana, it is such a blessing to have on the program today, I appreciate your time!First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Ana Megrelishvili?”What kind of obstacles have you run into while trying to grow your organization?Can you tell us what types of events and things like that do you hold?I noticed on the website that you do have speakers come in. These are professionals and non-profits from the Atlanta area?Share with us about your coaching business… what do you offer?Is this only available to those in the Atlanta area, or can someone work with you remotely?Share about your book, “Finding Courage to Change.” Why did you write this book?What would be the number one take-away someone reading your book will receive?Ana, this has been so interesting. If someone is in the Atlanta area and would like to get more information on joining the Christian Professionals of Atlanta, how can they do that? How can someone obtain more information?If someone wanted to get more information on your coaching practice, how would you like them to get in touch with you?Your book, “Finding Courage to Change,” how can someone obtain a copy of that book? Is it on Amazon?I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.Folks, as we said in the beginning, networking is crucial to any business. It is absolutely crucial if you are a professional and you want to improve, get better at what you do and meet people who are like minded. And it is absolutely vital – if you are a Christian professional, to surround yourself with professionals who hold the same value system you do concerning Christian ethics and morality in business. Amen!Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Ana. Check out the Christian Professionals of Atlanta. Order her book, even if you are not in the Atlanta area, it will be a blessing to you. Amen! And be sure to check out her coaching services as her Christian perspective on things could bless you immensely in whatever it is you are trying to do or grow in professionally. Amen!CONTACT INFORMATION: Email: ana@cpofatl.comChristian Professionals of Atlanta Website: https://cpofatl.com/Book: “Finding Courage to Change” – on AmazonAna’s Coaching Website: https://findcouragetochange.com
End It For Good Christina DentWe are well aware that drug addictions are, basically, a pandemic in our society today. It is not only a problem in major metropolitan cities, but it literally crosses all social and economic boundary’s.I know. I was addicted to pain killers a few back after almost 7 years of use. My father had a drug problem. One of my brothers as well.My guest today in Christina Dent, the founder and president of “End It For Good,” a 501-c-3 non-profit formed in 2019. Christina Dent is a politically conservative Christian, who supported criminalizing drugs, until she became a foster parent and saw, up close, the negative effects the current system was perpetuating on those who needed the most help. She researched why drug-related harm was not decreasing and she became convinced it was because the criminal justice system is simply the wrong tool to be used for addressing the drug problem.Christina was on our program a couple of years ago and we had a great, in-depth conversation about her efforts to help correct the societal problem of criminalizing those who use drugs instead of creating real solutions to the issue. Amen!Christina recently released her new book on this topic, titled, “Curious: A Foster Mom's Discovery of an Unexpected Solution to Drugs and Addiction.”With that being said, help me welcome back to the program, Christina Dent! Christina, thank you for coming back on the program today! I do appreciate it!For the sake of those that may not have heard our prior interview a couple of years ago, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Christina Dent?”I want to start with your book, “Curious: A Foster Mom's Discovery of an Unexpected Solution to Drugs and Addiction.” Why did you write this book and why publish now?You had some very serious situations happen to you in life. You were involved in a serious train accident. Both your mother and father died of cancer. How did all of this shape you as you continued on with your life?I remember, from our prior interview, when you compared the war on drugs with prohibition in this nation back in the early 1900’s. Can you briefly go over that for our listeners?Last time you were on, you talked about what the nation of Portugal did in their “war on drugs.” But they went about winning their war in a very different way than we have in the United States – and they achieved a very different outcome. Tell us about that…As you have been doing all of this, what has been the hardest part you’ve experienced in fighting this battle?What is the number one message you would like your readers to get from this book?As we get ready to close, let’s talk for a minute about your organization, “End it For Good.”How does your organization try to bridge this gap we have been talking about?Christina, this is so interesting. You and your organization are doing a marvelous work. I learned a lot from preparing for this interview as well as right now, just talking with you. I also believe our listeners have learned a lot as well and may now have new perspective of things.If someone wanted to get in touch with you or your organization, maybe to check out your services, ask you to come speak or maybe just to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?I’ll put links to all of that down below in our show notes.Folks, the war on drugs was a good idea, just implemented in the wrong way. As Christina Dent has shared with us, we have fostered an environment that simply intensifies the dependency; intensifies the addictions and intensifies the mindset that it all must remain hidden.We, as a nation and as communities, MUST change our mindset in order to effectively change the mindset of those who are truly being harmed. Those using the drugs themselves.Go down into the show notes and click the link right there to get in touch with Christina Dent and her organization, “End It For Good.” Offer support. Click the DONATE TAB on her website and send along some love through your financial giving. There is no amount that is too small. If every listener would send along $5 or $10 – together, it would make a HUGE, HUGE difference in how much help she would be able to provide.While you are there, in the show notes, click the link to order her great book, “Curious: A Foster Mom's Discovery of an Unexpected Solution to Drugs and Addiction.” Buy two or three copies and pass them out to your pastor and others. You don’t know what kind of impact you could make simply by sharing this message.

Join a RIOT for God Cameron GarnerCameron Garner is a minister of the Gospel who teaches people what it really means to be a “Child of God” and to live in Kingdom Power as part of their everyday lifestyle. Cameron teaches about our identity in Christ, miracles, healings, how to live truly free, how to break that cycle of living in circles and more.He has three different schools for believers to enroll in and gain valuable training to become more powerful Christians in their daily walk and to impact those they meet. Amen!I’m going to ask him to break down these different classes for us – and more, as we get into this exciting interview…Help me welcome to the program, Cameron Garner! Praise God!Cameron, it is so good to finally get you on the program, brother!First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Cameron Garner?”Your newest program is called “Freedom Training Course” (starting soon).Your first program is called “R.I.O.T,” which stands for “Royal Identity Outreach Training.”You also have the “Identity School,” and the “Prophetic School.”Let’s start with RIOT. I love that name…Tell us what RIOT is all about?Is this the first step in your training curriculum? Like a “basic course” before students more to the next class, “Identity School?”Let’s move on to “Identity School.” I take this is to help the believer become more aware of “who they are in Christ?”Then we have the “Prophetic School.” From what I’ve seen on some of the video testimonies, you’re teaching folks how to, basically, “hear from God” on a deeper level and be able to communicate those messages to others?I know you offer these classes as stand-alone classes. But do you recommend they start with the RIOT course first?What is the format for these courses? I know they can be taken online or in person. But you recommend in person, if at all possible, right?What is the cost of these courses?Do you have your own church or ministry that these programs are a part of?Cameron, this is so interesting – and so needful in this day and time in which we live today. If someone has a question or would like more information on these programs – or possibly would like to invite you to do an interview like this – how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you and get more information?I’ll put links to all of this down in the show notes below.Folks, there is nothing more important than growing in Christ. You can’t stay a “baby Christian” forever and expect to impact this world for Christ. But, we all have to start somewhere. Amen!If you have received Christ as your personal Savior, you’ve taken the very important first step. If you have started to read your Bible, etc. – you have started down the correct path. But now, take it to the next level. Praise God.Become a “Warrior for Christ!” Amen! Become someone whom God can drop a Word of Knowledge on, knowing you will recognize it and share it with whomever He has directed it to. You can do this! But – you need an experienced guide to show you HOW to tap into this type of ministry. Someone to show you how to GROW in Christ and be able to create a RIOT everywhere you go! Amen!Glory to God! Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Cameron Garner right now! Don’t wait! Don’t think, “I’ll do it later…” That is not recognizing the prompting of the Holy Spirit! Do it right NOW. While you are still listening to me. Amen!If that thought, “I’ll do it later” was the first thing that popped in your mind when I said “do it now” – you are listening to the wrong spirit. I’m telling you…You need Cameron’s training more than you know – if that was you! Amen!Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Cameron right now. Ask your questions. See if this isn’t the path the Lord is leading you down right now – in preparation for what He has planned for you up ahead a bit. Amen!CONTACT INFORMATION:Email: RealMiraclesAndHealings@gmail.comWebsite: https://camerongarnerministries.comYouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@realmiraclesandhealings
One Place to Worship TS WrightScott Wright is back with us today. Scott has been teaching us about the different ages of the Church and significant things the Bible and history has to say about them. Amen.But since the war in Israel started back on October 7th 2023, Scott has come on every week or so just to get us “caught up” (so to speak) on the situation, both in the natural and in the Spirit. He shares about what is happening in the Israel-Hamas war as well as other insights into things we see happening around the world.With that, help me welcome back to the program, Scott Wright!Scott, today you wanted to talk about the importance of “One Place to Worship.” What is the significance of that term?Does this apply to Israel today?Are there signs God provides, kind of like “warnings” that people are not heeding to this call?Just go over again why this is so important as to us and the End Times we see happening right now?Scott, as usual, this has been so interesting. How can someone reach out to you with questions or if they wanted to get more information – or maybe invite you to do an interview such as this?I’ll put this information in the links down below.Folks. I cannot emphasize enough how important it is for you to realize we are living, right now, in the last of the last days. The days that have been prophesied as the “End Times” are here, right now.Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Scott Wright. Get in touch with him. Subscribe to his podcast.

The Heart Healer: PTSD – Cyndy Bartelli pt 7There are so many people in the world today that are hurting. Hurting in different ways, but hurting in their hearts that affect everything else. Not heart aches, but actual, hurting hearts. Pain that is deep rooted and affects them each and every day.
What can be done for folks that are hurting like this?
Well, that is where our guest today comes in…
Cyndy Bartelli is our guest today. She was on before, you can listen to our previous interviews in our archives. She is also the author of a great book – “The Heart Healer: God’s Response to Personal Prayer in a Hurting World,” and her study guide – “The Heart Healer Study Guide,” Amen!
But today, she is back for part seven of this series, Amen! There are so many hurting people, many listening to us right now, that will benefit from hearing real life examples the Cyndy is doing to bring “heart healing” to people in her daily walk. Amen!

Help me welcome back to the program, Cyndy Bartelli. Cyndy, thank you agreeing to come back on and minister to those again today who are hurting. I appreciate your time.
For those who may not have listened to our prior interviews, can you briefly share with us “Who is Cyndy Bartelli?”
And give us a basic introduction about your book, “Heart Healer.”
We have been sharing some background and information on several of the people that you have helped along the way. Today’s heart healing as it relates to PTSD, correct
Of course, PTSD is something that a lot of military veterans are suffering from, but it does not just apply to veterans, does it?
Share with us how the Lord brings about the healing to those who suffer with PTSD?
PTSD can be a physical issue as well as an emotional issue?
Do most people suffering with PTSD know what the root cause is that caused the problem?
What do you recommend the family member do for someone they love that suffers with PTSD?
I know there are people listening to us right now that may be in the same or very similar situation as we have shared today. And I definitely know there someone listening to us right now that needs heart healing, whether about PTSD or something else. Can you pray with and for them right now and help to bring “heart healing” to them just like you have for the others we have talked about in prior episodes?
Before we go, I want you to share with us about your ministry, “Vertical Hearts” and how this ministry is helping you to spread the message of God’s extraordinary Love and ability to heal the broken places in people’s hearts…can you share a little bit for us?
How can they support Vertical Hearts and your outreach?
I appreciate you sharing that. I also appreciate you sharing the information you shared with us today about PTSD as well.
If someone wanted to purchase your book, “The Heart Healer: God’s Response to Personal Prayer in a Hurting World,”how can they do that? Is it on Amazon?
Cyndy, this has been so interesting. If someone would like to reach out to you, to ask a question or maybe even order your book, or possibly do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, as I shared in the beginning, people are hurting out there. It may be you. It may be someone close to you. It may be someone you work with. I can almost guarantee you know someone who is suffering a deep rooted heart ache that needs to be healed.

Because of his expertise, Gary has been interviewed numerous times and is often quoted by national and local media for newspaper and magazine articles, as well as for podcasts, radio, and TV interviews.
Help me welcome to the program, Gary Harpst! Gary, I’ve been waiting for this interview ever since we first started talking about it, brother! Thank you for joining us today!
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, Can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Gary Harpst?”
I mentioned in the opening, that you help people not to just beat the chaos in our lives and business, but how to use it to our advantage. You actually have written a book about this. “Built to Beat Chaos: Biblical Wisdom for Leading Yourself and Others.” In your book, you have a section, “How Do I Get Control of Chaos?” How does that work?
In this book, you also share the “Biblical Secret for Unlocking the Potential of My People.”Can you discuss this a little bit with us? What is the Biblical secret?
I know some people are hesitant about mixing Faith and the workplace. You have a complete webinar on this topic. The bottom line is that we should be using the workplace as one way to build up the Kingdom on this earth, correct? Basically the “whole business and whole person” process. You describe that as a “Kingdom Impact Business.” Can you explain that for us?
I love that you share we are “body, soul and spirit.” Which we are… but you encourage entrepreneurs to understand that people spend 2/3 of their life OUTSIDE of the work place. I know I’ve worked for some organizations that gave you a Blackberry (I’m dating myself now…). I hated that thing! It would go off at all kinds of times to ask questions or “if I could do such and such.” Today, we have cell phones – it seems like we are supposed to be available 24/7. What do you share about that with business owners and managers?
Gary, this has been so interesting. If someone wanted to buy your book, “Built to Beat Chaos: Biblical Wisdom for Leading Yourself and Others.” How can they do that? Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or to get more information, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, cultivating the character and mindset of Godly Wisdom will help you to overcome the chaos, that really begins in the mind. Gary and his team are here to help you stay Kingdom focused and overcome the chaos – and help you to succeed in life and in business, too. Amen!
If you want to lead consistently from a place of Wisdom, perspective and experience that true freedom – get in touch with Gary and his team.
Drop down into the show notes and click the links right there. Order his book, “Built to Beat Chaos: Biblical Wisdom for Leading Yourself and Others.” When you come at these problems from a point of view of Kingdom Wisdom, Biblical Wisdom and with tactics and techniques that have been proven to work in business and in life – you can’t help but win! Amen!

Artificial Intelligence and The Image Guy Morris pt 1For those that listen to this podcast and our radio broadcast, you know I’ve been preaching about the “end times” for several years now. How we can tell it is getting closer and closer just by watching the news on television every night.
Between the chaos, the climate, the wars and rumors of wars, we also have scientific development that has the ability to wipe out the human race through pandemics, etc. and through the use of technology.
Our guest today has written several books that will shake you awake and realize just how a precarious situation we are living in right now. Last time he was on, we discussed a great book, “Swarm: Artificial Intelligence Decodes End Time Prophecies.” And a book titled, “The Last Ark: Lost Secrets of Qumran.”
The next book in the series, tentatively titled: The Image will release in late 2024. Part of a series designed to walk into and through the Tribulation over a series of 6-7 books, the SNO Chronicles weave together modern issues of AI, climate, geo-politics, political and religious corruption through a lens of end time prophecy.
In his books, Guy Morris, blends real life technological advances and real life situations we are facing with religious research with current events and then adds in artificial intelligence scenarios that will have you on the edge of your seat! Amen!
Guy Morris has multiple degrees and over 36 years of leadership experience at companies like IBM, Oracle and Microsoft. He is proven thought leader in adapting advanced technologies and implementing complex IT applications. His success stories range from designing a macro-economic model that out-performed the Federal Reserve and all major banks, to building world-wide high performance teams to innovating early Artificial Intelligence systems technology. He is also a Disney published composer, a musician with multiple CD’s, a researcher of history and prophecy as well as an author of Artificial Intelligence, espionage, religious, political and history thrillers.
This is part two and the conclusion of a great interview!
Artificial intelligence continues to dominate and grow – faster than anything technology wise has ever done before. How do you see artificial intelligence playing into the world in the near future and especially in prophecy?
Tell us a little about the book you are working on and the prophecies you will touch on?
Remind us about SYLVIA…
Your books are great. I mean that. I’ve read both of the other two. Riveting. I couldn’t put them down. I can’t wait for you to release this next one.
I know you’re looking at “late 2024” – but do you have any idea of WHEN?
Will there be a Pre-Order opportunity? Or do you have one set up yet?
Guy, this is so interesting, I could talk about this for hours. But we are about out of time. How can someone order copies of your books, are they on Amazon?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or perhaps do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, as I stated at the beginning, there is absolutely no way an person with any spiritual insight at all could deny that we are living in the last of the last days. How close are we to the actual last days, is anybody’s guess, but it’s close. Very close.
You need to drop down into the show notes and click the link to visit Guy Morris’ website. The information on there is riveting, to say the least.
Be sure to click the links to order his great books, “Swarm” and “The Last Ark.” These books are riveting and are guaranteed to hold your attention and make you think.
“Think about what, brother Bob?”
Like we discussed in our prior interview and here, the most important question is: “What if prophecy is not about how God will destroy humanity, but how humanity will destroy itself. The point of prophecy is not to predict the future or stew in dystopic fear, but to evaluate the present to re-think our life priorities. Prophesy is the alarm clock for humanity.”

Who is Guy Morris?
Last time, I think this is important for our listeners to hear, you shared that your books are inspired by a secret NSA program that, to use your words here, “escaped” from the NSA. Can you go over that information again and what that means for us laypeople listening right now?
How did you develop your theories on prophecy and what are the elements you see active in the world which you are including in your books?

2024 Prophetic Almanac Bill JenkinsWell, 2023 has come and gone. It’s been an “interesting year” to say the least. We’ve seen Christianity attacked in this nation like never before. We’ve seen politicians just, basically, surrendering the sovereignty of this nation. We’ve seen natural disasters on a scale that, some say, has not happened for hundreds, if not a thousand years.
We have Israel at war – and the mounting pressures from nations around the world are continuing to condemn Israel for defending themselves rather than condemning the attackers and the nations supporting the terrorists. Can I add – just like the Bible says will happen? Amen?
But, for believers though, this is not a time of doom and gloom! Far from it. We are told by Jesus in Luke 21:28 that “When these things begin to take place, look up, for your redemption is drawing near!” Amen!
With all that is happening, wouldn’t it be nice to have a peek at what is going to happen in the Spirit this year? It takes someone with a special gift from God to be able to do that without sounding like a soothsayer or a nut job, right! It takes someone anointed by God with this gift to lay things out - in a logical format. And that is what my guest will do today!
Our guest today is Pastor Bill Jenkins of the Destinyland Christian Center in Rancho Cucamonga, California. Every year, he releases a new book titled, “The Prophetic Almanac.”
If you have ever heard of the “The Farmer’s Almanac,” well the “Prophetic Almanac” is the Spiritual equivalent that will release a spiritual vision for your personal life and - it gives a prophetic forecast for our nation as well. Amen!
Pastor Bill Jenkins is a 1991 graduate from Christ for the Nations in Dallas, Texas, my old stomping grounds for a few years... He has been in ministry for over 30 years. He also had his own Television Program on the Trinity Broadcasting Network - and has hosted the “Praise the Lord” program a few times as well. Praise God!
He has written numerous books and has become known as a modern day Apostle of God with a prophetic voice. He and his wife, Britain, work extremely hard to release the message of HOPE into our world (and very needful, for such a time as this, I might add).
Pastor Jenkins takes some of the toughest passages of scripture and explains them in a practical and interesting way. He is quickly becoming the “Go To” guy when it comes to Biblical interpretation.
He also has had a radio program on “Evangelism Radio” for several years. His program runs Monday through Friday from 10-1030am Eastern Time.
Every year, about this time, I ask Pastor Bill to come back on and share with us his insights from the Word of God as he talks about the new issue of “The Prophetic Almanac” as it relates to the coming year. And that is what we will be talking about today as we leave a very hectic and chaotic 2023 behind and are moving forward into 2024.
Help me welcome back to the program, Pastor Bill Jenkins. Pastor, thank you for taking the time to visit with us today!
I want to jump right into this…
You have gone through all of the Bible and researched all the Chapter 24’s. What is the Lord showing you that this year is going to be like… I guess a “theme for 2024” – so to speak?
What does 2024 mean for God’s church this year?
Let’s talk a bit about some of the 24’s in your book… “The 2024 Prophetic Almanac…”
Tell us about JOB…
I love Ezekiel… his book was my calling into the ministry…specifically chapters 2 and 3. But what does Ezekiel share from his 24th chapter that we need to pay attention to this year?
In the New Testament, we have some very important things happening in these 24th chapters. I mean, we can start with Matthew 24 – signs of the End Times, right?
And then there is Luke 24 and the Resurrection…
In Acts 24, you share that we need to be “Spiritual Pests…” Can you explain that for us?
You also recommend we take some time to pray and seek the Lord, especially on the 24th days of every months this year. What are some of the scriptures that led you to say that?
I love the mini-journal you included in the back of the book. You also are encouraging us that this is a year we need to be journaling what God is sharing with us in our thoughts and prayers. Why is that important for this year?
Pastor, this has been so interesting. As we come to the end of your book, the “2024 Prophetic Almanac,” you close with “10 Commandments for 2024.” Can you share those quickly as we get ready to close?
How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “The 2024 Prophetic Almanac?” It’s on Amazon, correct?
How can someone get in touch with you if they have any questions or possibly would like to do an interview with you such as we have today?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, 2024 is already shaping up to be, let’s just say an “interesting year.” Amen! When Pastor Bill was writing this book, he did not know a lot of the things that are happening right now, but yet, as you go through the book, the Lord has shown him what we see right now. Amen!
Pastor Bill has come on this program the last four years running and it is always astounding how accurate his books are. You need to get your hands on this book right now. Just drop down into the show notes below and get your copyand start reading it – right alongside your Bible. Amen.

Why This is Happening to Israel Right Now TS WrightScott Wright is back with us today. Scott has been teaching us about the different ages of the Church and significant things the Bible and history has to say about them. Amen.
But since the war in Israel started back on October 7th 2023, Scott has come on every week or so just to get us “caught up” (so to speak) on the situation, both in the natural and in the Spirit, on what is happening in the Israel-Hamas war.
But today, we will take some time to discuss, I guess you could say, the background of Israel, and how that relates to what we see happening today.
So, with that being said, help me welcome back to the program, Scott Wright!
Let’s start with this. I know everything is in God’s timing and on His plan. Why do you believe the first coming of Jesus was timed to happen when it did?
Have you ever wondered WHY God chose Israel, but yet everything that has happened to Israel sure doesn’t seem like they are “His people?”
We know John was, as he put it, “the one whom Jesus loved.” Why did John record some of the things he wrote about Jesus, while the others did not?
Why is this important for what we see happening in Israel – and the world, for that matter – right now?
Scott, this has been so interesting as we discuss the current situation over in Israel. If someone wants more information or would like to ask a question, how can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below…
Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Scott Wright. Get in touch with him. Subscribe to his podcast. And be sure to purchase his journal and start learning all about the “God Centered Concepts” that he specializes in. Amen!
Do it right now before you forget about it later. Amen!

Israel Scaling Back in Gaza TS WrightScott Wright is back with us today. Scott has been teaching us about the different ages of the Church and significant things the Bible and history has to say about them. Amen.
But since the war in Israel started back on October 7th 2023, Scott has come on every week or so just to get us “caught up” (so to speak) on the situation, both in the natural and in the Spirit, on what is happening in the Israel-Hamas war.
Today, we will take some time to discuss the current situation in Israel, as of the time of this recording, so help me welcome back to the program, Scott Wright!
As we are recording this today, obviously, things change on a daily basis between the time we do the interview and when this episode is published. But as we are talking today, Israel has announced they are starting to pull back some of their troops.
They cite the toll the war is taking on their economy, etc. But is this in response to international pressure as well?
As we see the Israeli war with Hamas, let’s just say, “evolving,” what do you see as far as future implications on this situation?
Egypt put forth a peace plan, but it has not gained any traction…
Have you seen anything about Hezbollah in the north?
The Navy has been protecting shipping in the area. What have you seen there?
In Luke 21, the Bible talks about “this generation will by no means pass away until all these things take place.” I believe we are that generation. This has also been claimed by “other generation,” what makes you believe this applies uniquely to us, today?
Scott, this has been so interesting as we discuss the current situation over in Israel. If someone wants more information or would like to ask a question, how can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below…

The Fit and Healthy Reset Reece & Michale HartteIf you’re a busy woman, you probably don’t have hours of spare time to doing the research and finding a weight loss plan online that would work for your lifestyle. Or hours more to go to the gym 3-5 times per week to work out and burn those extra calories.
If you are running a business, working full time or even taking care of a household and kids, you probably don’t have the energy to be doing all of this either. Amen?
Our guest today is Michale Hartte, who was diagnosed at the age of 32 with full blown osteoporosis with a high fracture risk and amenorrhea. She was told she had the body of an 80 year old.
What she did has transformed her life. She is now healthy, happy and is helping others achieve this dramatic recovery as well.
She now helps women AND men, age 45-75 to lose 20 pounds or more in 90 days or less, without giving up their favorite foods – and keep it off the rest of their life! Amen!
How?
It is a lifesaving transformation that you just have to hear about. I know there are many people out there that are resonating with this as well. In fact, since we are recording this right at the first of the year – I know there are some of you that are already running into problems with your new year’s resolution to get fit, lose weight and become more healthy.
God knew that and he timed this interview out perfectly – JUST FOR YOU! Amen!
With that being said, help me welcome to the program, Michale Hartte! Michale, thank you for taking the time to join us today!
Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Michale Hartte?”
Michale, share with us your background and what got you into that poor condition in the first place – at age 16?
And you went another 15 or 16 years before making the changes that, basically, saved your life. What was your life like at that time, say around age 30 or so?
How long did the transformation take for you? How fast did you begin to see positive results?
What was it about that program that made you think, “I can do this?”
Reece, what were you doing during this time frame as far as your health?
I saw the documents on your website about your propensity to have bone fractures at age 31 and then again at age 51. Share with our listeners the difference in those medical statements, 20 years apart…
How do you help people that reach out to you? What is the process for onboarding them into your system?
What are the top three ways you help them to achieve their goals?
You believe you can help them to achieve their goals, let’s say weight loss, in 90 days and keep it off for life?
And this is all accomplished through a set of 7 initial videos?
Michale, this is so interesting. Is there anything else you would like to share with our audience?
If someone has a question or would like more information, how can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, I know this sounds “too good to be true.” But listen to me right now – is your future worth it? Is your well-being, worth it? Is it worth it to be healthy, active and spend more time with your family? I believe so.
Pastor Bob’s going to get this product – that’s how impressed I am with it. I didn’t tell Michale that yet… but this sound EXACTLY what I was looking for to help ME drop those extra 15 pounds or so. I already dropped 60 pounds over three years… but those last 15 just stick like glue. Amen! I know you know what I mean.
Come on! Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Michale right now. It’s less than $50 and you can change your life – FOREVER. Amen!
Michale, thankyou for taking the time to join us today and share all about this great program. I do appreciate it!
Folks, drop down into the show notes right now, while you are thinking about, and sign up! Or at least reach out to Michale right now and ask your questions to see if this is right for you. Amen!
That’s all the time we have for today. For Michale and myself, this is Pastor Bob reminding you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!

Summit in a Box Krista MillerVirtual Summits are now the most popular way to grow your online business. You can be in ministry and hold revivals online. I know. I did that when the COVID shutdowns first happened. Our ministry was one of the first in the nation to hold an online ministry summit after the shutdown.
We had 40 some pastors and ministers from around the nation come on the program over three days. We had over 700 visitors during the summit as we discussed the situation in light of Biblical prophecy and the need for repentance, etc.
But, I pieced that summit together using about four different platforms! It took three of us to run it when we went live… plus the emails and promotions… It was a success… but it was the LAST ONE I did for over two years…
Then, a month or two ago, the Lord put on my heart it was time for another summit of pastors to discuss prophecy in light of current events – again! I’m being honest, I was not thrilled He had put that in my heart and mind… amen!
But, a week or so after that day, I seen an email or something that caught my attention. It was from a wonderful young lady named Krista Miller and her business is called, “SUMMIT IN A BOX!”
Folks, I’m telling you, this was an answer to my prayers. Amen! I am so impressed by what I’ve learned so far… and we are now in the planning stages of holding our next online ministry summit… and I will be incorporating the summit concept into our podcast and marketing program as well. That’s how simple of a process Krista has made this – even I am wanting to do more summits! Amen!
Krista has this summit thing down to a fine art. She has helped so many people to run their summits, gain followers, make sales, etc. – I call her the “Summit Queen.” Amen!
If you are looking at a way to generate an increase in whatever it is you are doing, you need to grab a pen and paper and take notes today. I saw a Facebook post or something that caught my eye a month or so ago and Krista was sharing a little about her Faith – and I immediately told myself I was going to get her on this program to share all about her business and her non-profit with YOU. Amen!
Krista created her own summit system in 2017 while preparing for her first summit. She unexpectedly generated 4 times her normal monthly revenue from that one event! Praise God! She tripled her email list and booked her services out six months in advance – all from that first event. Amen! She quickly became THE recognized industry expert in summits as a result.
Krista Miller is here today to talk, not just about “Summit in a Box” but also some great work she is doing with a non-profit called, “CEO’s in the Word.” Praise God!
Help me welcome to the program, Krista Miller! Krista, it is a blessing to have you on the program with us today!
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Krista Miller?”
When did you first start your online business and what were you doing?
How did you get introduced to online summits?
Do you remember your very first one? What was that like for you?
What was the evolution of “Summit in a Box” from what you first tried to where you are today – being able to help so many people successfully run their online summits?
Running or putting on summit is one thing… but the success or failure of the summit really rests on the value being provided during the summit, correct? Do you have any advice or guidance that you provide your clients in, not just using your system to hold the summits, but to guide them in making sure value is provided to the attendees?
You are also involved in starting a non-profit called, “CEO’s in the Word.” Share with us the vision you have for this organization…
This will be held by business professionals for their clients?
I love the concept of the online Bible study groups. So many people are just “too busy” in this day and time. So much so that church attendance is down, dramatically – especially after the pandemic. I know our online radio station grew by about 30% each year since the COVID fiasco. I just believe a lot of people are used to staying home now and get fed the Word online. So your online Bible studies will probably be a hit. Amen!
How far along are you in bring this to the point of launching it?
You are also a podcaster. Tell us about your podcast, “Summit Host Hangout Podcast…”
Krista, this has truly been interesting. If someone wants more information on “Summit in a Box” or would like to ask a question, etc. How can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, holding a virtual summit is not for everyone. But if it is something the Lord has been stirring around in your heart, you are listening to this episode today for a reason! Amen!
God preordained you would be hearing us right now. Amen!
I want to encourage you to drop down into the show notes and check out Krista’s website, “Summitinabox.co” NOT dot com… DOT CO. Amen! Just click the link down below to check out the great information on Krista’s website. It is really a great website.
And, as you have already heard, Pastor Bob is a client… amen! I’ve using these products to grow our ministry brand this year… probably two or three summits – I know at least TWO are in the planning stages right now… and I’ll probably do a third in the fall. So I know this program works. Amen!
Drop down into the show notes and get in touch with Krista right now.

Communication in Marriage Felice MathieuGod instituted the family unit as THE UNIT for operating in this earth. It’s as old as humanity itself. He called the act of bringing together a man and woman to create a family unit – MARRIAGE. Amen!
But, with marriage as the only “God Certified” family unit in existence, it is also important to note the devil will do everything he can to try and disrupt the marriage. Who do you think is behind this gender dysphoria going on right now? Who do you think is behind the rise in divorce rates? Who do you think is behind the problems facing families in the day and time in which we live?
Our guest today is an expert in helping folks understand their roles in marriage and how to help them identify and fix problems to save the marriage.
Our guest today is Felice Mathieu, who started out in life as an orphan from age 11. He had been praying for God to heal his mother – but she died… after that, he wanted nothing to do with God.
But, God had other plans. Amen! After getting married, he was led to the Lord, now – he serves Him with all his heart. Glory to God!
Felice is the President of the “Marriage Sharing Corporation” – a Christian Marriage Counseling and Coaching service. In addition to being a Christian Marriage Counselor and coach he is also the author of a great book, “20 Common Marriage Problems: A Guide & Workbook for Christian Spouses.”
Help me welcome to the program, Felice Mathieu. Felice, it is a blessing to have you on the program today! I’ve been looking forward to our conversation!
The first question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Felice Mathieu”
What is the difference between a “Christian Marriage Counselor” and a “Christian Marriage Coach?”
Are most problems in marriage caused simply by a lack of communication?
I know financial issues figure huge in marital problems, arguments, etc. How can a couple navigate this issue without feeling like they are being “nickel and dimed” to death?
No two marriages are ever the same. Every marriage will have its own set of challenges. But how can couples face these challenges with a goal of supporting each other and maintaining that loving relationship – despite their differences?
How do you help people in your organization? Is it online, retreats, office visits, how do you accommodate your clients that come to you for help?
Before we wrap up, let’s talk a minute about your book, “20 Common Marriage Problems: A Guide & Workbook for Christian Spouses.” Why did you write this book and why publish it now?
All of the information – and more – that we discussed today is in your book? How can someone order your book? Is it on Amazon?

From the Wilderness Chastity DawnChastity Dawn grew up as a Christian in the mid-west. Her background was in the denominational church and thought all was good. In about 2010, she visited a non-denominational church and found out what it meant to have a true “relationship with God.” Amen!
When the COVID shutdowns happened, she found herself wondering how she would continue her walk without church to lean on. She soon found herself in the midst of turmoil in a personal relationship, out of a job and life spiraling out of control.
Through all of this, she discovered that the only true thing that matters is our “personal relationship” with God. I’ll stop there because I want her to tell her story and not me. Amen!
But Chastity is the author of an amazing book, “From the Wilderness to the Narrow Path: My Journal of Surrender and Course Correction.”
Help me welcome to the program, Chastity Dawn. Chastity, it is a blessing to have you on the program. I’ve been looking forward to our discussion today!
First question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Chastity Dawn?”
First, share with us your background and how you went from being part of “organized religion” to realizing it was a “personal relationship” that mattered and not so much “what church” you belong to…
Many believers think the “Lord’s Prayer” is something like the “foundation” of faith. But what you learned is something about the “Kingdom of God.” Share with us a little deeper…
The importance, I believe, is if we start with reading God’s Word – especially on a daily basis – it is us spending quality time with the Father – and allowing Him to minister to us on a deeper level. Not a strict, 15 minutes on our knees in a particular place, altar or prayer bench or inside our closet… whatever… We can spend time with God in anyplace – even the car or at our desk. How do you emphasize this fact in your book?
Let’s shift for a minute to your book, “From the Wilderness to the Narrow Path.” Why did you write this book and why publish it now?
What will the readers receive as the main takeaway from reading your book?
You also have a coaching program, correct?
Chastity, this is so interesting. How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “From the Wilderness to the Narrow Path: A Journey of Surrender and Course Correction?” Is it available on Amazon?
If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or possibly do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, Chastity discovered the Truth contained in the Bible. The Truth that God wants a relationship WITH YOU! Everywhere you go, God is there! Everything you do – GOD IS THERE, with you! Start acting like it… that does not mean you are going to be “perfect” – that is impossible in these flesh and blood bodies. But it does mean, when you have one of those “human moments,” you can talk to Him just like you talk to your best friend. Amen!
This book offers a fresh perspective on what it truly means to not conform to the pattern of this world and to seek God’s Kingdom and His righteousness. Drawing from her personal experiences of heartbreak and struggle, author Chastity Dawn confronts the false narrative that finding a good church equates with growing in one’s relationship with God. She does this by revealing how stepping away from organized religious activities led her to forge a deeper connection with God.
Drop down into the show notes and get your own copy of Chastity Dawn’s book, “From the Wilderness to the Narrow Path: A Journey of Surrender and Course Correction.” Order it right now, while you are thinking about it. Amen!
Chastity, it has been a blessing to have come on the program and share all about your walk with God and your great book, “From the Wilderness to the Narrow Path: A Journey of Surrender and Course Correction.” I do appreciate you coming on the program today.

AI, Transhumanism and The End Times Ryan EgelstonRyan Egelston is a writer of Faith Based content on social media that focuses on the “intersection of Faith and Business.”
He publishes articles on LinkedIn and social media and uses, what he calls the “Esther Principle” to plant the seed into the hearts and minds of his readers.
I’ve been looking forward to this discussion today because he is seeing things that many people are missing. Things that we should be aware of and things the Bible tells to watch out for. Amen!
Help me welcome to the program, Ryan Egleston!
Ryan, thank you for joining us today.
The first question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Ryan Egleston?”
How did you get so interested in this “Artificial Intelligence” phenomenon and its relationship to the End Times?
You’ve had your own issues with AI, correct? Explain what happened to you…
I want to focus on Mark 4:23, “Nothing is hidden that will remain unseen.” You believe that AI is at the point where it will be able to “know our thoughts?” How is that possible?
Explain for us the “Esther Principle…”
I see happening, right now, governments of the world, including here in the United States, trying to more to a national crypto currency. Which means they will monitor and control every single transaction you make. You will not be able to tip the paper boy without them knowing about it on some level.
You mentioned to me something called, “Moore’s Law for Chip Science.” I have not heard of that before. Can you explain that for us?
You relate that to a prophecy in Daniel 12?
And you discussed something referred to as the “Singularity” as a desire to be wise. What do you mean by that?
You also believe (as so do I and many other prophecy experts I’ve talked with) that we are living in the last generation. Explain your thoughts on this for us based upon the math…
Ryan, this has been so interesting. How can someone get in touch with you if they have any questions or would like to possibly have you come and speak at their church or at an event? How can someone reach out to you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, this has truly been an interesting conversation. I’ve learned some things I had not thought of today – especially in relation to Artificial Intelligence. Amen! I believe you have, too! Glory to God!
I urge you to drop down into the show notes. Reach out to Ryan. Ask your questions. To my fellow podcasters out there, reach out and invite him on your program. This is information that needs to be shared far and wide in these last of the last days – as you just heard. Amen!
Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Ryan Egleston right now, today. Amen!

George Patton and Israel’s Battle Plan TS WrightToday, our guest is TS Wright. He is coming back on to discuss what we are seeing, right now, and how it all relates to what the Bible says will be happening in the last days – just before Jesus returns.
All we see on the news right now is how the nations of the world are more concerned with Israel stopping their war with Hamas than with coming together to support Israel in destroying their enemies.
They claim the “humanitarian thing to do” is to stop…
In military jargon, I’ll quote my favorite person, General George Patton, Jr. on this, he said, “You grab by the nose and kick ‘em in the “rear end.” You go through them so fast you go through them like “crap through a goose.”
Once you have your enemy on the run, you don’t stop. You finish the job. That is what Israel is doing… and almost the entire world is telling them to “stop.”
Why don’t these same nations tell Iran to “stop” funding terrorist?
Anyway… Praise God… that’s why we have Scott Wright back to join us today, to share about the prophetic insights into what we see happening right now. Amen!
Scott Wright is the author of the “God Centered Concept Journal” and has a unique insight into prophecy and the end times.
I want to get right into our discussion today, so help me welcome back our good friend, Scott Wright.
As I discuss end time events in relation to current events, it amazes me how some people can still say things like, “You never know what God is going to do…” or “Jesus will come like a thief in the night… so we never know when He is coming back…” Folks, in my opinion, statements like this tell me people are not studying their Bible.
Let’s go back into Jewish history as we begin…
How does the Jews exile to Babylon point to the 2nd Coming of Jesus?
You shared with me that the 2nd Temple existed while Jesus was here. I thought that was a given? Why is that important to what we are talking about?
In Matthew 24:34 and other books, Jesus promised that “This generation will not pass away until all these things come to pass.” Why is that important for the day and time we live in today and what we see happening in Israel right now?
Luke 21:30-31 tell us “When you see these things happening, know that the Kingdom of God is near.”
That takes me back to what we see happening right now in Israel and how they are being pressured on all sides to “stop, for humanitarian reasons.”
I asked those questions first because I wanted to lay out how important the accuracy of the Jewish history and the accuracy of the Bible go hand in hand…
I say, and I truly believe, that what we see happening right now is PROOF that Bible is the TRUTH and that we are closer than ever before to actually see Bible prophecy concerning the 2nd Coming happening in our lifetime.
What are your thoughts on this?
Anyway, we are all out of time for today.
How can someone get in touch with you if they have a question or would like more information?
Folks, I want to remind you that in these days and times in which we live, we are reminded to “Look up – for our redemption IS drawing near!” Amen!

And, you will have higher engagement from employees to partners and show a significant ROI on your projects.
Today is part two and the conclusion of this very informative interview with my good friend, Tom Chappell.What do you mean by “combining knowledge with wisdom?”
You have a term, “wisdom is hard to earn but easily dismissed.” What do you mean by that?
What about this “lack of foundation in the “true” rather than “the Truth?” What does that mean?
What was one of the biggest “ah-ha” moments you’ve experienced in your work?
Tom, this is all so interesting. If someone wants to learn more, ask a question or get in touch with you, how can they do that? How can someone get in more information?
I’ll put links to all of that in the show notes below.
Folks, I’ve known Tom for several years now. And being a former soldier – I know his decision making ability is top notch and he is more than able to pass that knowledge on to YOU. Amen!

Put Tom’s knowledge and skills to work in your organization. Bring him in to take a look and identify things that can be improved. For most of us, it takes an outsider coming in and looking around, asking questions and then providing you feedback to show you things you just took for “normal” but when fixed – can make a HUGE difference in your bottom line.

From the “Breakthrough Strategies Group” in Stafford, Virginia, help me welcome to the program, my good friend, and Army veteran, Thomas Chappell! Tom, it’s great to finally get you on the program!
Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Thomas Chappell?”
You mainly work in the area of helping leaders lead. Making better decisions. When I was in the Army, we learned the “Decision Making Process.” There is nothing wrong with gathering information before making a decision – but what I see today is basically, “decision making paralysis.” There is just “too much information” available. Is that what you see?
That’s why you tend to focus on “wisdom” in the decision making process?
I learned the old fashioned way – by “making mistakes” and telling myself, “I ain’t doing that anymore!” That developed “wisdom” fast! But that is not what you advocate, correct?
What do you mean by “combining knowledge with wisdom?”
Folks, I’ve known Tom for several years now. And being a former soldier – I know his decision making ability is top notch and he is more than able to pass that knowledge on to YOU. Amen!

The World Against Israel TS WrightToday, our guest is TS Wright. He is coming back on to discuss what we are seeing, right now, and how it all relates to what the Bible says will be happening in the last days – just before Jesus returns.
What is especially concerning to me is how the entire world is coming against Israel right now – when all they are doing is reacting to an unprovoked, barbaric attack on innocent civilians. The United Nations is even trying to impose their authority over Israel’s sovereignty! In case you haven’t read your Bible, this is the exact scenario depicted in the Book of the Revelation that will take place in the End Times.
If there was ever any doubt that we are living in the last of the last days – what we see happening right now should prove it! Amen!
Scott Wright is the author of the “God Centered Concept Journal” and has a unique insight into prophecy and the end times.
I want to get right into our discussion today, so help me welcome back our good friend, Scott Wright.
Scott, there is almost daily updates to what we see happening right now. Unfortunately, there is a lag time between recording today and publishing later. But, putting that aside, let’s go ahead and jump into current events as we see them – TODAY.
More and more nations are now preparing to enter this situation – especially as it concerns international shipping in the Red Sea area. The Iranian backed Houthi rebels are the main cause. What do you see as happening right now and what is about to happen?
I can almost say, with 100% certainty, that if we would have had any other president other than the one in office now – there would have been retaliatory air strikes taking out the bases that launched these attacks. But with this administration – they don’t want to get involved.
I even see some reports now that the cargo ship companies are opting to go all the way around the Cape of Good Hope in the Horn of Africa and then up to the Mediterranean Sea. This is going to affect supply and demand pricing even more around the world.
We see a mounting humanitarian crisis – and calls for Israel to stop in the name of humanitarianism – but that is not how wars operate. There is condemnation of Israel because of this – but I guess everyone forgets the millions of people that died in WWII that were caught in the middle. Unfortunately, that is usually what brings a warring power to the negotiation table. It’s just the way it is. If the people have enough of it, they will rise up from within and fight back – just like they did to Mussolini in Italy.
We see these protests spreading across the United States. We also see the massive invasion taking place on our southern border. Even the FBI is saying we are on the verge of something even worse than the September 11th 2001 attacks coming from within. And it is due to the number of terrorists that are able to infiltrate through the southern border. They are out for revenge on the United States for supporting Israel in their war.
I believe, unfortunately, that the “hedge of protection” that God had in place around this nation has been removed. We can see that happening. Which means God is going to allow this type of attack to occur within our land.
Why? Because we, as a nation, have turned against HIM. We are so depraved, as a nation, we cannot define the difference between a man and a woman anymore – on an “official level.” God was upset with Israel falling into idolatry – and here we are today.
I believe it was Billy Graham who said something to the effect of “If God does not punish the United States for what we are doing right now – He will have to apologize to Sodom and Gamora.” And that is a sad state of affairs for this nation.
But I believe, just like with 9-11, we will not see an attack on the weakness of this nation until a different administration takes over. Which will make that new administration look bad, like they allowed it to happen. Which, in reality, was the fault of the prior, liberal, anti-American administration.
We also seen the tragic news of some Israeli hostages mistakenly being shot during operations in Gaza. Unfortunately, “war is hell” and the turmoil sometimes has tragic consequences. That’s just the way it is.
Anyway, we are all out of time for today.
How can someone get in touch with you if they have a question or would like more information?
Folks, I want to remind you that in these days and times in which we live, we are reminded to “Look up – for our redemption IS drawing near!” Amen!

Build Your Own Home and Save Gary McCormick pt 2Gary McCormick was the Vice President of a mortgage bank and was helping home flippers and builders to obtain better mortgage rates in their businesses. This allowed them to obtain larger loans and flip more houses at one time.
Since he was so successful, they started taking him to lunches, etc. just to show their appreciation.
Then Gary started to think about entering the business himself. He seen the money they were making. He knew the “inside game” of obtaining the loans – he knew these other players would help him “sub out” the work!
Long story short, this is what he did. Amen!
All was well until, does everyone remember the housing crash in 2008-2009?
Well, Gary (along with most of the independent contractors of that time) ended up declaring bankruptcy and having to start over.
But, start over he did. But Gary did not just go right back at the same process. Now, he has carved himself out a niche where he helps individuals to build their own homes and do the work themselves. Basically, they are their own contractor. This saves them huge money as compared to the normal way of doing things.
You did not have much in the way of assets, correct?
Now, you help individuals to build their own homes. How difficult a process is that?
But you offer coaching, of sorts, to help individuals build their own homes. What kind of training and resources do you provide for them?
Naturally, I know you probably won’t travel to far from home… but do you do anything online in addition to in person consulting?
Gary, this is so interesting. If someone wanted more information on the services and training you offer, how can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
I know this type of program that Gary McCormick has put together may not be for everyone. My wife would probably live in the car if I tried to build her a house! Amen! Don’t shout me down when I’m preaching good. I know my calling – and being a home builder is not it. Amen!
Of course, I’m being silly. Gary is here to help you coordinate, sub-contract out the work that needs to be done, teach you how to do the work you can do yourself – all with the goal of helping you to accomplish and achieve your dream of building your own home – at a fraction of the cost. Amen!
Finding the land, coordinating the work, purchasing materials – it all goes into plan.
I want to encourage you to drop down into the show notes, use the information there to reach out to Gary McCormick and see if he is able to help you. It doesn’t cost you to find out IF he can help you… but it could cost you tens of thousands of dollars if you don’t. Amen!
Get in touch with Gary McCormick right now…today. Amen!
Gary, thank you for taking the time to come on the program and share with us about this great service you are providing. I appreciate you time today.
Folks, that is all the time we have for today. For Gary McCormick and myself, this is Pastor Bob reminding you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!

To share more on this, how it’s done and what it could do for you, help me welcome to the program, Gary McCormick!
Gary, thank you for taking the time to come on the program today. I do appreciate it and this is a big topic right now. I mean interests rates are super high compared to just a few years ago. I know people would love to save some money in this area if at all possible…
But before we get started in that discussion, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Gary McCormick?”
You started out small, but quickly ballooned this into, basically, a high end market, correct?How did you go about doing that and what kind of time frame did you do this in?
Tell us what happened to you when the housing crash came at the end of 2007 and into 2008…
So, how did you “start over?”
You did not have much in the way of assets, correct?
I want to encourage you to drop down into the show notes, use the information there to reach out to Gary McCormick and see if he is able to help you. It doesn’t cost you to find out IF he can help you… but it could cost you tens of thousands of dollars if you don’t. Amen!

Israel and the Nations TS WrightToday, our guest is TS Wright. He is coming back on to discuss what we are seeing, right now, and how it all relates to what the Bible says will be happening in the last days – just before Jesus returns. Scott Wright is the author of the “God Centered Concept Journal” and has a unique insight into prophecy and the end times.
I want to get right into our discussion today, so help me welcome back our good friend, Scott Wright.
We have seen Iran increase its attacks on US assets in the mid-east. So far, the US response has been “limited” - but how do you see this proceeding?
It seems the resistance from other Muslim nations to join the battle has limited Iran’s ability to spread the conflict.
What can the United States do to limit Iran without “attacking” Islam in general (and spreading the conflict)?
Do you think other nations will impose economic sanctions on Israel in trying to force them to stop the war with Hamas?
Let’s look at what happens AFTER this war is over. It will cost billions upon billions of dollars to rebuild the Gaza Strip. Who is going to pay for this going forward?
Will that lead to the rebuilding of the area with a multi-nation coalition lead to the Israel agree to this – only IF they are allowed to rebuild the Third Temple?
How can someone get in touch with you if they have a question or would like more information?
Folks, I want to remind you that in these days and times in which we live, we are reminded to “Look up – for our redemption IS drawing near!” Amen!

Business Owner or Business Operator Robert Poole pt 2How many of you are running a business? Now, don’t get hung up on that term, “running a business.” If you are working for a company, you are “running a business.” You are trying to do your job, obtain recognition, pay raises and job security. You’re in the business of promoting yourself. Amen.
If you are in full time ministry – I guarantee you are operating a business.
If you are self-employed – you are running a business. If you are in the corporate world, you are running a business.
Basically, unless you are already in Heaven and have left this earth, you are in the process of “running a business.” Amen! Don’t shout me down when I’m preaching good!
Our guest today is Robert Poole, a West Point graduate, and because of that, of course, he is a former Army officer. He has worked in Commercial and Residential real estate; in corporate recruiting, and investment sales – all prior to co-founding “Total Business Results,” a B2B cold calling, appointment setting and lead generation marketing company.
As an experienced business to business marketer, Robert Poole and his marketing business was thriving. They specialized in cold call marketing for businesses for more than 22 years. Then, unexpectedly, he lost his business partner and found himself now running the company, by himself, with the workload that usually kept two people busy.
We can understand how that king of stress would rapidly build up to a dangerous level, with not enough time in the day – every day - and how that would drastically affect his personal life as well.
But, he found himself drawing closer to God and, as usually is the case, God opened a way to untie himself from the day to day operations of the business and become an “owner” of the business instead of an “operator” of the business.
He now helps other entrepreneurs make that transition from “operator” to “owner” and gain that free time – and if you’re honest with yourself, is probably the reason you entered the business world anyway! Amen! Praise God!
I know I can use this information we are going to learn today. Amen! Come on! I know I’m not alone out there.. Praise God!
This is part two - and the conclusion - of a great two part interview that I KNOW will bless you!How does social media promotions tie into business to business marketing in this day and time we live in?
Your email marketing services are tied together with your outbound calling program. How do you use these methods to actually get in front of a decision maker that may not respond to traditional promotions, such as social media, etc.?
Online meetings are used a lot today. Take this interview for example. You’re in Arizona and I’m in Maryland. It is just cost effective not to have to travel across the country to accomplish what we can do in online. Amen!
The question I have for you is, how can you use this method on online meetings to create that “personal connection” that you discuss in your videos?
Let’s discuss the terms, “owner” and “operator.” Can you share the differences with us so we can grasp what you are helping people with?
How do you know if you are an owner or an operator? What is the “BIG TEST?”
If I have employees, does that make an “owner?”
How long does it usually take for a person to make the transition from “operator” to “owner?”
I want to get back to the “employees” topic for a minute…
If is someone is a “solopreneur” – like a speaker or author – or a podcaster – and they have no employees – how can they become an “owner” rather than be absorbed into the day to day activities that indicate they are an “operator?”
You offer coaching in this area to help people make that transition, correct?
I believe you are offering our listeners a 30 minute discovery call to see if you might be able to help them make this sort of transition, correct?
Robert, this has been so interesting. I could talk to you for hours… amen! But, we are about out of time for today. If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or obtain more information – or maybe do an interview such as this – how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below, including the link to book a call. Amen!
Folks, Robert Poole has successfully made that transition we have been talking about. It is one that is, not only desired, but needful for business owners listening to us right now. From pastors and ministers to solopreneurs; from authors and auto mechanics to C-level executives – and from plumbers to podcasters, too. Praise God!
Drop down into the show notes and get in touch with Robert Poole and his team right now. I’ll put his office number in the show notes as well in case you did not have time to write it down. Amen!
Robert, thank you for coming on the program today and blessing our listeners with the idea and some insight on how to “become and owner and not just an operator” in their own life and personal business. I do appreciate your time.
Folks, that is all the time we have for today. For Robert Poole and myself, this is Pastor Bob reminding you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!

Help me welcome to the program, Robert Poole! Praise God! Robert, thank you for taking the time to join us today! I do appreciate it!
The first question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Robert Poole?”
As we get started, I want to thank you for your time in military service. I try to recognize every veteran we have on the program because, as we discussed prior to starting the recording, my twelve years in the military is still a very big part of who I am today – and I just enjoy talking to other vets who are blessing others in what they do as well. So thank you for making that sacrifice of that part of your life.
Let’s jump to the big upset in your life that got you where you’re at today. You lost your longtime business partner in 2017 and that changed your trajectory for both, your business and your life. Can you share some of the details and how this affected you, personally and professionally?
You mentioned that Matthew 10:29, basically brought you to the realization that nothing happens outside of God’s Will. How did this scripture set you free to go back to what you are doing now?
How does social media promotions tie into business to business marketing in this day and time we live in?
Folks, Robert Poole has successfully made that transition we have been talking about. It is one that is, not only desired, but needful for business owners listening to us right now.Drop down into the show notes and get in touch with Robert Poole and his team right now.

The Heart Healer: Yvonne’s Story Cyndy Bartelli pt 4There are so many people in the world today that are hurting. Hurting in different ways, but hurting in their hearts that affect everything else. Not heart aches, but actual, hurting hearts. Pain that is deep rooted and affects them each and every day.
What can be done for folks that are hurting like this?
Well, that is where our guest today comes in…
Cyndy Bartelli is our guest today. She was on before, you can listen to our previous interviews in our archives. She is also the author of a great book – “The Heart Healer: God’s Response to Personal Prayer in a Hurting World,” and her study guide – “The Heart Healer Study Guide,” Amen!

Cyndy is here to minister to you with some examples of people who were in situations that may be similar to yours, maybe not exactly the same – but all of the examples are of people who are hurting. Amen.
Help me welcome back to the program, Cyndy Bartelli. Cyndy, thank you agreeing to come back on and minister to those again today who are hurting. I appreciate your time.
For those who may not have listened to our prior interviews, can you briefly share with us “Who is Cyndy Bartelli?”
And give us a basic introduction about your book, “Heart Healer.”
We have been sharing some background and information on several of the people that you have helped along the way. Today’s person also has an amazing story of a heart healing, just like Sonya, Jesse and your hairdresser, whom we have already shared about. Today, we are going to talk about “Yvonne,” correct?
Share with us about Yvonne and her story and how the Lord brought about the healing of her heart…
Have you followed up with her since then?
I know there are people listening to us right now that may be in the same or very similar situation as Yvonne. Would you pray with and for them right now and help to bring “heart healing” to them just like you have for the others we have talked about?
Before we go, I want you to share with us about your ministry, “Vertical Hearts” and how this ministry is helping you to spread the message of God’s extraordinary Love and ability to heal the broken places in people’s hearts…can you share a little bit for us?
How can they support Vertical Hearts and your outreach?
I appreciate you sharing that. I also appreciate you sharing the story you shared with us today about Yvonne as well.
If someone wanted to purchase your book, “The Heart Healer: God’s Response to Personal Prayer in a Hurting World,”how can they do that? Is it on Amazon?
Cyndy, this has been so interesting. If someone would like to reach out to you, to ask a question or maybe even order your book, or possibly do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, as I shared in the beginning, people are hurting out there. It may be you. It may be someone close to you. It may be someone you work with. I can almost guarantee you know someone who is suffering a deep rooted heart ache that needs to be healed.
Cyndy’s book, “The Heart Healer” is a great first step. Drop down into the show notes and click the links right there to get in touch with Cyndy Bartelli and also to order her book, “The Heart Healer,” right now. Amen! Don’t wait. Get it into your hands today.

Vertical Momentum Resiliency Richard Kaufman - pt 2Richard Kaufman’s father left when he was just 3 years old. He grew up moving from school to school. He dropped out of school in 9th grade. He had already become addicted to alcohol by the time he was 12 years old. He joined the Army at age 17.
Because of these untreated alcohol issues coupled with the immaturity, Richard eventually was discharged from the military. This led him to becoming hooked on drugs and even found himself homeless.
He eventually was arrested and then given the option to either attend rehab or go to prison.
He made the correct choice and went to rehab. Eventually, he was able to obtain a special good conduct waiver and reenlisted in the Army. He spent a total of 24 years in military service. But even that was not without mishap. I’ll let him tell the story on that…
On that infamous day of 9-11, Richard, after seeing the tragedy that had unfolded, made the decision that he was going to change his life forever. He dedicated himself to helping others. On the darkest day in American history, Richard Kaufman seen the light and changed his life.

What was one of the worst decisions you made in business – and was it because you did not listen to the leading of the Holy Spirit? In other words, if you would have listened, things would have turned out differently?
What was one of the best decisions you made BECAUSE you listened and then implemented what you heard from the Holy Spirit?
The last time you were on, you had a different podcast. When and why did you switch over and start this podcast?
Tell us about your business and how you help others now…
Richard, this is so awesome. You mentioned your book, as well as your podcast. How can someone get more information on both?
I’ll put all of this in the show notes.
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, we may never be called upon to fly an A-10 in combat or go to the farthest reaches of the planet to witness for Jesus. But each and every one of us has a calling in life. Amen!
Richard has his calling – to be a blessing to others and to help veterans as well.

Vertical Momentum Resiliency Richard Kaufman pt 1Let me ask you a question…
Have you ever failed in life? Have you ever done things you are not proud of? How did you deal with it?
For many, it can turn to violence. It can turn to drugs. It can turn to alcohol. It can turn into purely destructive habits. Eventually, it turns inward even more and becomes self-destructive. Often to the point of no return. People just loose hope and give up.
My guest and I are here today to tell you, you don’t have to give in to those temptations and succumb to destruction.
Richard Kaufman’s father left when he was just 3 years old. He grew up moving from school to school. He dropped out of school in 9th grade. He had already become addicted to alcohol by the time he was 12 years old. He joined the Army at age 17.

Richard was on our program way, WAY back in 2018 or 2019…but it was about episode 548 or so. Praise God!
Help me welcome to the program, Richard Kaufman! Richard it is so good to have you back on today, my friend!
Let’s start the first question I always start with. Other than that brief information I just shared, tell us in your own words, “Who is Richard Kaufman?”
Now, let’s go ahead and get caught up.
We were originally connected by our good friend, Sean Douglas. What have you been up to since we first got in contact four or five years ago?
I know you went through an issue with losing your sight. A lot of us had you in our prayers during that time. How is all of that going?
You do a lot of work supporting veteran’s groups and things like that. Share some of the work you do to help our vets…
Can you share how important it is for you to share your faith in your business, even if it is in subtle ways?
What was one of the worst decisions you made in business – and was it because you did not listen to the leading of the Holy Spirit? In other words, if you would have listened, things would have turned out differently?

Signs of the Times – Tom Donnan pt 2Tom Donnan is back with us today as we discuss Bible prophecy in relation to current events – and do we have some current events happening right now that definitely relate to Bible Prophecy. Amen!
Hundreds of millions of dollars have been funneled into Gaza. However it was not used to make life better for them but to arm the conflict.
Are these Biblical Events we are witnessing right now “the setup” for the End Times?
The War in Israel: Are We Watching Bible Prophecy Unfold? - YouTube
You have another video for us that shows end time controls are being implemented. It deals with “Kill switches installed in all cars.” Why would that be important?
New Law Mandates 'Kill Switches' in ALL Cars from 2026 Onwards! - YouTube
Ultimate tools of Deception is upon us. What are some of these “tools of deception” you are talking about?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sm9oq0p3y_8
We have to talk about ChatGPT. There are many that are saying this type of “AI” (Artificial Intelligence) will eventually lead to the destruction of humanity. Could this be the influence and source of the anti-Christ?
I know we have talked about Chat GPT 3-4-5. However, the intelligence of these programs is just below Einstein now but has jumps like that of earthquake magnitudes. Each jump is ten times higher than the one before and soon it will reach the intelligence of 2000 to 3000!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnboHTfYsfk
Discussion of what is happening in our society today. I saw the YouTube video where there is a discussion of “The Satanic Six” signs of the attempt to destroy the family. Can you go over that for us?
The “Satanic Six”
-
Men are encouraged to be boys or girls but not men and become unproductive members of society
-
Men are not launching into manhood. (taking longer to reach key life milestones).
-
Men are not working (in the labor force).
-
Men are not marrying anymore
o 25% of 40 year old
o Which is increasing the number of women that are seeking relationships with other women (Lesbianism)
o “When everyone is wrong, you’re the odd ball if you’re doing it right.”
- Men are not leading
o More women than men in church
o More women than men in the workforce
o More women than men in college
This video is what they call a Red Pill.
The END Times CLUE That's Right In FRONT of Our FACES? - YouTube
Our Society is Collapsing around us. Where is the spiritual awakening needed to counter act our decline?
Anti-Semitism is on the rise.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3wGfI1v_0A
Here is an interesting discussion viewed on 10-26-23
I heard a great analogy that perfectly describes how crazy these pro-Palestine protestors are. The silence of this administration, the silence of the liberals, the silence of the media, is astounding.
"What would be the media reaction if, let’s say a group like the “Proud Boys” or the “KKK” would have shut down the Brooklyn Bridge or held protests like we see now, in support of those cops that beat George Floyd to death?"
Would the media be, “Oh they are just expressing their support.” Would the administration be supporting the “rights of free speech?”
Tom, we are about out of time. I’d like you to pray with someone right now who may be listening to this and realize, “They need Jesus.” Could you do that right now?
Tom, this has been so interesting. How can someone reach out to you to ask a question or get more information?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, our discussion today was not to instill fear – but Faith. Faith in the Name of Jesus. Faith in the Bible. Faith in Biblical Prophecy. Faith that NONE OF THIS is happening by happenstance. None of this is taking God by surprise.
But ALL OF THIS is leading to what are called, “The End Times.”
If you prayed that prayer with Tom Donnan, reach out and let him know. Go to church. Walk by Faith and not by sight. Don’t be moved by what you see or hear – be moved by the Word of God. Amen!
Tom, thank you for coming on and catching us up on what is happening right before our eyes. I appreciate it brother!
That’s all the time we have for today. For Tom Donnan and myself, this Pastor Bob reminding you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!

Signs of the Times – Tom Donnan pt 1Tom Donnan is back with us today as we discuss Bible prophecy in relation to current events – and do we have some current events happening right now that definitely relate to Bible Prophecy. Amen!
Tom, we will get to the war in Israel in a moment, but let’s kind of “set the stage” a little bit with some pre-cursors that indicate the day and time in which we live.
We know that God gives you some unique dreams and insights, so I’ll start there. You mentioned the name, “Jessica” to me. Let’s just start with that…
-
So I have been looking into the meaning of the name and the most common response “God Beholds.”
-
We have multiple opinions
Let’s talk about ISRAEL. You put together an outline of major events for us:
-
Prophesied to be restored as a nation. “Behold, a work of God’s hands.”
-
May 14th 1948, a people were displaced. By God’s design and the birth of conflict.
-
Good and evil warring over the souls of men.
-
Throughout time, evil has planned in destroying God’s planned future of Jesus return.
-
An ungodly hatred of Jews is the result.
Conflict over Israel will not be over until Jesus returns. Until then we will see conflicts, wars and escalations.
Amazing Bible Prophecy That Came True: The Nation of Israel Reborn - YouTube
Never ending Conflict until Jesus returns and puts down Israel’s enemies forever.
Bible prophecy is being setup for the final Act.
I was interviewing another Prophecy expert and he said that man looks at Bible Prophecy as a game of checkers. But God is playing Chess. What we are seeing right now is simply pawns being moved into position for the “final move” to happen.
In chess – the “final move” is when your king cannot move anywhere – “checkmate!” Is God preparing to call “Check-Mate” on the human race?
Sweden saying immigration has brought about serious crime. Why is that?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBfIeapnP98
Which brings us to the next point:
Israel-Hamas conflict: The complex history of the Gaza Strip - YouTube
Hundreds of millions of dollars have been funneled into Gaza. However it was not used to make life better for them but to arm the conflict.
Are these Biblical Events we are witnessing right now “the setup” for the End Times?

Emotional Recovery Clinic Keisha WrightKeisha Wright is a professional life coach from the Sunshine State of Florida. Years ago, while trying to recover from her own trauma and seeking help in counseling, she was told it would take 3 to 5 years of therapy for her to recover.
She told herself she could not wait that long and called out to God for His Divine intervention. in the middle of own search for wellness, she made God a promise if He ever got her out the living hell she was in, she would spend the rest of her life teaching others how to get out as well.
Today, Keisha is living out that promise by helping people become healthy so that they can thrive in their own lives. Her own journey of pain and struggle led her to open “Emotional Recovery Clinic” with the mission of teaching individuals how to recover from the pain of trauma, toxic mindsets and unhealthy relational patterns through individualized, client-centered coaching. Keisha specializes in trauma recovery, affective awareness, and marriage regeneration.
Help me welcome to the program, Keisha Wright!
Keisha, it is a blessing to have you on the program today.
First question I always start with is this…. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Keisha Wright?”
Your bio mentions you were trying to recover from your own trauma, but found out it was going to be an extremely long process. Can you share with us a little bit about that time in your life?
When you were discussing this with your therapist at the time, why were they saying this would take so long?
What options did you pursue to achieve your own breakthrough?
At what point did the Lord “speak to you” concerning it was time to fulfill your promise which you made to Him?
What is a “Trauma Wellness Center?”
Share with us the work that “Emotional Recovery Clinic” is accomplishing and how you do what you do?
Were you trained in therapy or counseling?
When someone contacts you, what are the processes or steps they will take and, in a nutshell, what is the goal they will achieve?
You just mentioned the “Four Day Weekend.” Is this for individuals or couples? What does it consist of and what could someone expect during this long weekend with you?
What is the #1 thing you would like our listeners to remember from this conversation today?

The Timing of the Second Passover Dr. Richard RuhlingWe’ve had discussions this year about the “Seven Seals” and things that needed to happen at the time of Passover, etc.
Discussion of Haggai 2 and Daniel 9…
“As the Days of Noah” and depictions of the “10th day of the 5th month” on the Jewish calendar would equate to August 5th of 2023. And Noah was instructed to get “into the Ark” one week earlier. So we could be looking for a sign the last week of July.
Catholic Church was the “little horn” that grew out of the “ram.”
Well, help me welcome back to the program, Dr. Richard Ruhling. Dr. Ruhling, it is good to have you back on the program today.
Amos 3:7-8 “God will not reveal anything without revealing it first.”
Ruhling7@yahoo.com
Could this be a repeat of Exodus Chapter Twelve where “Day follows Night” (which goes all the way back to Genesis?
What we are seeing now is called “The Night of the Lord.” Which means the “Day of the Lord” must appear next!
The “time is fulfilled” from Daniel 9 (70 weeks)…
- The First Coming was timed exactly up to the point of Jesus Baptized by John in the Jordan River.
- The Jubilee event in 457 BC and Jesus was Baptized exactly on time, 490 years later.
We look at the 50th year as the Year of Jubilee – but the 50th year is actually “year #1” of the next set of 490 year sequence.
How does all of this tie into what we are seeing right now in Israel?
Daniel 8 refers to the Ram with two horns. The little horn was Iraq and the big horn is coming – which points to Iran.
Muslims recognize Ismael as being “sparred” by a sacrifice of a ram (not Isaac). But in Daniel, we see the ram being defeated by Israel.
What do you see coming next?
- Continuing attacks on US facilities in Iraq and Syria
- When all the Muslim nations surround Jerusalem (celebrating “Allah has no son”)
Why did you initially think these would happen in 2023?
Numbers 9:10-11 - allows for Passover one month later to allow funeral for loved ones.
At the end of the “10 Virgins Parable” – Jesus said you will not know the day or hour… but the Biblical year does not go from January to December, but from Spring to Spring.
In addition, this refers to the “2nd Passover” which is allowed if you are “travelling” and not in Jerusalem for the 1stPassover of the year. The “2nd Passover” is then held one month later.
The DARK DAY – on May 19, 1780 – occurred and was believed it was a sign of the “Day of the Lord.”
It was repeated 200 years later when Mt. St. Helen’s erupted on May 19, 1980 and a volcanic ash cloud covered much of the Northwest USA.
The 10th Day (that Noah entered the Ark) corresponds to next May 19 – in 2024 - to the DAY. So “SOMETHING” is going to happen on that day!
There will be an attack on Jerusalem, a dark day will occur… It could be Iran entering Jerusalem; it could be an EMP attack – but “something” is going to happen on that day in May 2024.
Dr. Ruhling, this has been so interesting. How can someone reach out to you for more information?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.

Book: MegaQuake 2023” – on Amazon
Book: “From Lockdown to Knockdown – The Fall of America”
The Coming – David HeerenIn a time where the moral compass of our society seems to be spinning out of control, where every headline brings news that shakes the very foundation of our beliefs, we find ourselves asking: What's next?
Where do we find hope and guidance in these tumultuous times?
Our guest today is David Heeren, author of “The Coming: Footpath to the End of the Age.” This book offers us a beacon of light in this perceived darkness. His book is not just another commentary on the state of the world; it's a journey, using allegories, and provides us a narrative that resonates with the very core of our spiritual being. Amen!
David's work taps into the growing sentiment that our world is on the cusp of significant change. Are we living in the last of the last days?
Through David’s allegorical storytelling, he confronts this decline in morality, a topic that's on the minds of many in our nation and across the globe.
But here’s the twist – David's narrative doesn't just wallow in the troubles of our times; it seeks to uplift, to reassure, and to empower. Amen!
As you listen today, prepare yourselves for a conversation that’s not only thought-provoking - but also soul-stirring. David’s perspective is unique – he doesn't just analyze the tribulations we face; he provides a pathway through them. His message is clear: “Be anxious about nothing” – not even the Tribulation. Amen!
In this hour, we will explore the depths of David's allegory, unravel the messages woven into his narrative, and discuss how his book might just be the guide we need in these uncertain times. Whether you're deeply spiritual, seeking answers, or simply curious about the moral direction of our world, this is an episode you cannot afford to miss.
David has been on our program a few times over the last couple of years, discussing the end-time topics of which we are all looking at. His books, layout clear road signs for believers to not only survive – but thrive in these end days. Amen!
For the best part of the last 20 years, David has been studying the Bible and other references. He is the author of several books and, like I said, today he is here to share all about his book, “
Help me welcome back to the program, David Heeren. David, it is so good to talk with you again!
For the sake of those that may not have heard our prior interviews, I think the last one was episode 1083, back in May of 2022. But for those that may not have heard us before, share with in your own words, “Who is David Heeren?”
Alright, let’s dive into this. Your book “The Coming: Footpath to the End of the Age,” why did you write this book and why do you think it is needful now?
This book is written in a fictional format. The two main characters are, basically, “on the run” from government forces trying to keep everyone in check. Share with us the reason you used this type of fictional format to share the message in your book?
You have identified some things in the celestial realm that could be pointing to the soon return of Jesus. Would you share some of those things with us?
I know there is an asteroid names “Apophis” that is scheduled for a “near miss” in a few years… but I also believe that some scientific scholars have calculated the “return trip” a few years later that it will be even closer… There have been some comets that have been discovered that will be coming close to us. There are solar eclipses, blood moon’s and a bunch of things that are outlined in the Bible. Share with us some of the things you see happening that could be called “a sign” of things to come…
Which of these celestial signs do you believe will have the greatest impact to life on earth as we know it?
We can see persecutions rising against believers. It all started with the attack on marriage and has escalated way past that. That’s the same plan the devil instituted in the Garden of Eden. His tactics do not change.
Now we see Israel at war – and the world is mad at Israel when they were the ones’ attacked by Hamas. What are your thoughts on that as they relate to the story you wrote in your book, “The Coming: Footpath to the End of the Age?”
There are those believers that fall into different camps. The pre-Trib, the mid- Trib and the post- Trib. What does your book lead us to see as far as the “Pre, Mid or Post Tribulation” rapture?
David, this has been so interesting. How can someone order a copy of your book, “The Coming: Footpath to the End of the Age?” Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or possibly to do an interview such as this… how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, as we bring today's riveting conversation with David Heeren to a close, I'm left reflecting on the profound insights and the sense of hope that his book, “The Coming: Footpath to the End of the Age,” offers in these challenging times we are facing as believers.
Today, as we've journeyed through the information David has provided, he has uncovered the deep spiritual and moral questions that confront us daily. His book isn't just a read; it's an experience, a guide that offers clarity and reassurance amidst the chaos of our time. Amen!
The urgency to understand and navigate the complexities of our current world cannot be overstated. “The Coming” is more than just a book; it's a vital resource for anyone seeking to stand firm in their faith in a world that seems to be shifting beneath our very feet.
I urge you, don't let this conversation be the end of your journey. Drop down into the show notes right now and click the links below to grab your copy of David Heeren's “The Coming: Footpath to the End of the Age” so you can equip yourself with the knowledge and the perspective needed to face these times with confidence and peace.

Navigating the Storm Dr. Christine Van HornThere is no doubt we are living in very tumultuous times today. The entire earth is heaving with unprecedented events. Societies cross the globe are grappling with profound moral and ethical dilemmas. Israel is at war and the profound words penned centuries ago are resonating today with eerie relevance.
Today, Dr. Christine Van Horn is here to share information that carries weighty implications for our modern world. We will be looking at a few scriptures from 2 Timothy, a letter written by the Apostle Paul as he provides poignant insights in the characteristics of “the last days.” His writings serve as both, a mirror reflecting our current times and as a compass, pointing us to a path not yet taken.
Are we living in the shadow of these prophesies which Paul talks about? How can believers navigate the stormy waters of today’s world culture, armed with these God Breathed scriptures?
Christine is here to help us unpack these thought provoking verses, helping us to bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and contemporary challenges. Together, we are about to go on a journey through these scriptures, seeking clarity, inspiration – and most of all – HOPE. Hope amidst the uncertainties of the “End Times.”
Dr. Christine Van Horn is an author, teacher and speaker. She is the author of 6 books, with three of them focusing on teaching character and foundational values. She has been on the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast a few times and you can find those interview in our archives. Amen!
Help me welcome to the program, Christine Van Horn! Christine, it is so good to talk with you again. I’ve been looking forward to our discussion today!
Christine, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell our listeners, “Who is Dr. Christine Van Horn.”
Paul’s description of 2 Timothy 3, verses 1-5 paint a vivid picture of the moral decay of the last days. In your interpretation, how do these verses correlate with the broader Biblical narrative on the End Times – and do you see any parallels to today’s culture and society?
Today, we can clearly see that our society is deceived in all sorts of ways. Verses 1-5 also describe people “having a form of godliness – but denying its power.” How does this apply to believers today? Is it a warning of sorts to caution us about so-called “false prophets” or “false teachings” that are happening around us?
What about the role of believers? Given the warnings Paul shares about people being “lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud and so on,” how can believers be a beacon of light and truth during these challenging times?
We read that scripture is “God Breathed” in verse 16. How do you believe this Divine Inspiration of the scriptures equips believers today? Will it help us to navigate these last days?
How can we apply these verses personally? I mean, considering Paul’s warning that we should “remain rooted and grounded” in what we have learned throughs scripture, what practical steps can individuals take to ensure they remain steadfast and able to discern the Truth in these tumultuous days in which we find ourselves in today?
As we get ready to close, what else does God have on your heart to share with us about these verses today?
Christine, this has been so interesting. If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or obtain more information, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, as we conclude or discussion with Dr. Christine today, it is evident that ancient wisdom holds profound relevance even in our rapidly evolving world today. Paul’s words echo in today’s society and serve to remind us about the timeless truth and the ever present need for Spiritual discernment. Today’s discussion has not only unraveled the layers of these Scriptures, but also helps to underscore the importance or grounding ourselves IN the Word amongst all of the unpredictable winds of change. Amen.
I urge you to drop down into the show notes and reach out to Dr. Christine Van Horn. Click the links to her books, Praise God. You need this information – especially now – in this day and time in which we live. Amen!

Who We Are in God Marnie Swedberg pt 2If you have ever wondered how to be a witness for Jesus, but feared alienating friends, family or strangers, you’re in for a treat today. Not only is our guest an expert in helping you to overcome this type of fear (and remember, “fear is of the devil”) – she can help you to make great strides forward. Not just in witnessing, but in life. Praise God!
Marnie Swedberg is an international leadership mentor, the author of 14 books, the host of her own radio talk show, a media expert, and a keynote speaker for organizations around the world.
She has her own story of experiencing fires, floods, tornadoes, car wrecks, set-backs, burglary, lightning strike – and can you imagine it, after all that, an ambulance ride (go figure, right)?
Marnie She owned and operated businesses in the restaurant and retail industries for over a decade and is now the web hostess of www.WomenSpeakers.com, the largest online directory of Christian Women Speakers in the world. The website connects event planners with speakers from every experience level, fee range, and denomination and currently features over 1000 speakers.
As a public speaker herself, Marnie recently solo-circumnavigated the globe, speaking 26 times at six conferences in four countries. She has presented for large corporations as well as for non-profit groups and for Christian women’s retreats, conferences, and other programs.
She also hosts her own, #1 ranked radio program, “Marnie and Friends,” on Blog Talk Radio and has appeared on hundreds of podcasts – including this one.

Amen!
Today is part two and the conclusion of this great interview with Marnie Swedberg!As I was preparing for this interview, I seen something I would love for you to share about with our audience. It is a statement, “I Power – You are more amazing than you can imagine.” Can you share with our audience what the statement means to you?
I Love one area that I know you specialize in. How women can tap into their “God-sized faith for Godly women.” Can you discuss a little bit about that and how you help them to do so?
We discussed a little bit last time about how “sensitive” people are today – to basically everything. They get offended if you tell them it’s cold outside. How can someone apply their God-given passions to everyday life - without offending anyone?Why is trying to "save souls" hard on us? Not just hard on us, but also it can be hard on others. What should we be doing instead?
Marnie, this has been so interesting. You have 14 or 15 books out there. How can someone find them and order them? I take it they are on Amazon, correct?
If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or possibly come speak at a church or conference, etc., how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, as this world in which we live begins to wrap up into eternity, it is more needful now than ever before to use our God given talents and resources to reach more people and to share the Gospel. Marnie has made it her life calling to help you do just that. Between her books, the services of “Women Speakers.com” and her speaking presentation, plus her radio program, she is empowering you to do more where you are at.
You don’t have to go to Tim-Buk-Too to witness the Gospel. You can do what needs to be done right there where you are at right now. At work, at home, at church, at the playground. Now, if God has called you to go to Tim-Buk-Too, then that is where your blessing is. Amen! But not everyone is called to do that. Everyone IS called to use the talents and resources you have been blessed with right now – where you are at – to impact the Kingdom. Amen!

The Formula for Knowing God’s Will Mike SnyderEveryone comes to a moment in life where they are at a cross roads. They know they need to do “something.” They are just not sure what that something is.
It could be a career choice. It could be to leave one job and take another. It could be about who to marry or not to marry. It could be a life changing decision that will impact you for the rest of your life!
At times like that, we often here believers talk about, “knowing God’s Will.” You will hear things like, “I’m seeking God’s will in this matter…” or “I’m waiting to hear from God on what I should do…”
Wouldn’t it be great to know… and yes, I’m going to say this word… a “FORMULA” to help you determine and to KNOW God’s Will for your life? Of course it would!
But, did you know it’s not very hard to discover the “formula” to “know God’s Will?” Amen!
Our guest today has released a new book that will help us to do just that! Glory to God!
Mike Snyder is our guest today. He is a retired Marine Corps Lt. Colonel, a graduate of the Marine Corps Command and Staff College, a graduate of the U.S. Space Command in Space Operations. He is currently with Raptor USA, a strategic marketing and consulting firm that works with middle-market principles and their teams nationwide. He is also a managing partner at RSM Marketing, a leader in providing outsourced marketing department resources to entrepreneurial, middle market growth companies nationally. He is also the author of two books, ‘The Great Marketing Lie” which he coauthored with Bruce Rowley and “The Formula for Knowing God’s Will for Christians, Agnostics and Atheists,” which has just been released. Amen!
Today, we will be discussing, of course – “The Formula for Knowing God’s Will.”
Help me welcome to the program, Mike Snyder!
Mike, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to join us today. I do appreciate it.
The first question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Mike Snyder?”
I want to cover something in your background. I know you were working in the Public Affairs Office for the Pentagon, the Marine Corps, etc., during the time of 9-11. I worked as a Public Affairs officer for the state police department I was in. My major incidents were usually traffic fatalities, police involved shootings, things like that – and that was hectic enough! I knew I could not provide information to the public until I had verified the sources and the information I had and then had to get that cleared from above for release. How chaotic was it to try and provide verifiable information amidst all of that was happening on 9-11? Because you had to deal with information that the Joint Chiefs were needing and feeding that information to the President? Just give us a glimpse of what true chaos is like in that environment…
Why do people struggle to know God’s Will in the first place?
You share there are some “common threads” that support your conclusion that a “formula for life” works. You say it is “by design.” So if we implement these formulas, we will get standardized results? Is that what you are saying?
And this works for any person?
We know the devil’s plan is to keep us confused and not fulfilling God’s will for our life. So what are some obstacles that people probably run into as they seek to discover and implement God’s will for their lives – especially using this plan or formula?
How can they overcome these said obstacles.
Now, I want to get into the nitty gritty… Can you share with us the “formula” for discovering and knowing God’s Will?
I know you have already received some testimonies to the power of this book and what it teaches. As we get ready to close, can you share just a few examples with us really quick?
Mike, this is so interesting… and so needful – in this day and time! Praise God! Why do think these formulas were, more or less, “hidden” and not discovered before?
How can someone order a copy of your book, “The Formula for Knowing God’s Will?” Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or possibly to do an interview such as this… How can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, wasn’t that interesting? Praise God! I know I’m looking forward to reading more of Mike Snyder’s book, “The Formula for Knowing God’s Will.” You need to drop down into the show notes, right now – and order your own copy. Get it now, while you are thinking about it.
In fact, as this is interview is released, it is Christmas time! Praise God! This book would make an excellent gift for just about anyone on your Christmas list. This would be a huge blessing to your pastor, too! So be sure to order several copies and sow them into someone’s life that you care about. Amen!
Just drop down into the show notes and click the links right there to order your copies of “Knowing God’s Will” and also to reach out Mike Snyder. Amen!
Mike, it was an absolute blessing to have you on the program today. I want to thank you again for taking the time to come on and share all about this fabulous book that the Lord had you put together to be a blessing in these last days. I appreciate it, brother!

How Sales Can Heal the World Joe RockeyHow many of you are trying to make in impact in this world through whatever it is you are doing right now? You could be in full time ministry. You could be auto sales. You could a repairman. You could be a stay at home mom. Whatever it is you are doing – you are doing it to make a difference!
That difference could be in your family, your community, your church – or the world! Amen!
How do you do what you do? Is it all about YOU? Or are you helping someone else along the way?
Take for example, an author. If you are an author, why are you writing a book? Just to have it sit on a shelf and collect dust? Or to help someone with whatever it is they need the information you provide them so they can do it better? You are trying to impact your readers? Correct?
If you are a repairman, cars, washing machines, whatever – you are doing what you do because you are good at it and when you are finished, the family you have helped are grateful for your skills. They needed you – and you were there?
Are you following me so far?
My question now is, “How do you let other know that YOU are doing what you do?”
For many people, that answer will be “advertising.” OK. What is advertising? In a one word nutshell, it’s SALES! Am I right?
Well, how would you like to find out HOW to perform better at “Getting the Word Out” about what you do, so you can help more people and, in return, increase your income in the process? Sound good? Great!
Our guest today is here to help you do just that. Praise God!
Joe Rockey is the founder and CEO of “Elite Business Conversations.” If you are not seeing the impact you anticipated or receiving the income you were anticipating or achieving the dream and goals of what you anticipated, Joe Rockey may be able to help you. Amen.
Joe is also the author “Casino Sales Master: Winning Strategies to Beat the Odds in Sales and Life.” It’s a true story of how resilience, leadership and connections can turn a one sided situation into victory by establishing better networking and connections. Amen!
Help me welcome to the program, Joe Rockey!
Joe, thank you for taking the time to join us today. I appreciate the time and the information you’ll be sharing with our audience today.
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Joe Rockey?”
Ok. Let’s go back to the beginning. You were 25 years old when you in real estate, correct? How did that motivate you to learn how to succeed in the middle of Sin City, USA, Las Vegas?
Your book is, “Casino Sales Master: Winning Strategies to Beat the Odds in Sales and Life.”
Why did you publish this book – and why now?
So you are beating the house at its own game?
Now, I thought if someone started winning in Vegas – they get banned from the Casino’s. Did that happen to you?
You also have a section in your book, which is what I really want to emphasize for audience (in case they are wondering WHY we are doing this interview), you have a section on why it is needful to practice a religion and be active in your Faith. Correct?
I started the introduction on how just about everyone wants to “make a difference” in their world. Not necessarily “world-wide” impact (it could be), but an impact in whatever area they are working and living in. How can they do that and how does your book help them to do that?
Prudence, Justice, Courage and Humility. By building on these attributes, you will progressively learn how to make a better difference. And it all starts with improving our relationships with those we interact with.
Joe, this has been so interesting. If someone wanted to obtain a copy of your book, how can they do that? Is it on Amazon?
If someone has a question or would like to obtain more information on how you can help them in their business, how can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below?
Folks, I pray you were blessed by the information Joe Rockey has provided us today. His business and his book is designed to be a BLESSING to you! To help YOU to make an impact in YOUR world… where ever and whatever that may be. Amen!
I urge you to drop down into the show notes and click the links right there to order your copy of the book, “Casino Sales Master: Winning Strategies to Beat the Odds in Sales and Life,” and to get in touch with Joe Rockey and his team at “Elite Business Conversations.” Amen!

Prophetic Update On Israel TS WrightScott Wright is back with us today. Scott has been teaching us about the different ages of the Church and significant things the Bible and history has to say about them. Amen. He has also been helping us to understand the modern day church age, the Names of God and with modern day issues and comparing these things to what the Bible says is about to happen. Amen! And that is something we all should be interested in.
Today, we will take some time to discuss the current situation in Israel. So, help me welcome back to the program, Scott Wright!
When we talked recently, you explained how God plays chess while man plays checkers… Explain that for us again as it relates to what we see happening in the Middle East right now.
How do you see the political pressure the world is putting on Israel right now because they are so determined to destroy the terrorist organization that launched this unprovoked attack?
Qatar is working as an intermediary between Hamas and Israel. But isn’t Qatar a Hamas associate? Don’t they support the overthrow of Israel?
There have been some attacks on the Northern border against Hezbollah in Lebanon as well. How is this working in the plan?
Are other nations do you think will get involved in this conflict and what will be the trigger that makes it happen?
Currently, there are negotiations for a 5 day cease fire in exchange for “some” of the hostages to be released. We are waiting for that to work itself out. What do you think the next BIG thing will be that we will see?
Scott, this has been so interesting as we discuss the current situation over in Israel. If someone wants more information or would like to ask a question, how can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below…
Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Scott Wright. Get in touch with him. Subscribe to his podcast. And be sure to purchase his journal and start learning all about the “God Centered Concepts” that he specializes in. Amen!
Do it right now before you forget about it later. Amen!

Jon, it is a blessing to have you on the program today. I want to thank you for taking some time out of your busy day to join us.
The first question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information we just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Jon Stewart?”
Now, before I get into the UFO’s and ET stuff, I have to ask about your alter-ego life in wrestling. You’ve been retired a good bit now, do you still follow it at all?
Let’s transition a little bit. You left wrestling to take over the family auto dealership. Was this due to injuries taking their toll or just getting tired of the travel schedule or what?
You then decided to enter politics. Explain your reasoning for wanting to go into that snake pit of an arena?
I want to transition now to your documentary research for “The Grey Area.” When did you start taking an interest in extra-terrestrials?
This started with the “Victor Alien Interview” and your question with Presidential Candidate John McCain, correct?
Have you ever had your own, personal, encounter?
Folks, if you have any information on this topic and can send it along to Jon Stewart for possible inclusion in his upcoming documentary, please reach out to him using the link below.

Spiritual Update on The War in Israel TS WrightAs we watch Israel battle the Hamas terrorists and try to eradicate this evil threat from their midst, it is amazing to me to see the amount of anti-Semitism being waged against Israel.
Israel was not the ones who launched an unprovoked attack against families, raping and killing women and teenage girls, beheading babies, ripping babies from their mothers wombs and doing things that would amount to “crimes against humanity” if it was anywhere else except, it seems like, warring against Israel.
Things are changing on the ground in this war, almost on a daily basis. Unfortunately, there is also a time delay between when we record these interviews and discussing things as we see them today – and the actual airing of these episodes.
We are trying to get this information out to the you as fast as possible, but what is really important is not the “what is happening now” portion of the interviews – but what does it mean in the “big picture” of “End Time” scenarios.
To help us with this discussion about these topics, I’ve invited our good friend, TS Wright back on the program today. Amen!
Scott Wright is a prophecy expert and author of the God Centered Concept Journal. He is back today to discuss the events happening right now in Israel and, as I said, relating it to the “big picture” of End Time Events.
Help me welcome back to the program, Scott Wright. Scott, it’s great to have you back on again today. A lot more has happened since we last talked about a week ago.
Israel has now launched their ground campaign and moving into the Gaza Strip. They are launching more bombing campaigns than ever before prior to them moving into an area to conduct ground operations.
I heard one commentator relate to the exact opposite of a “blitzkrieg” operation in WWII.. he called a “slow creep.” They are only moving about 100 yards at a time. Bombing and destroying the buildings in front of them. They then move into the area and begin a search, discovering entrances to the tunnel system and then moving down into the tunnels.
From what I can relate to, they are pushing Hamas out of these areas or destroying them if they stay. This “slow creep” is also allowing civilians to try and flee the area as well, limiting the number of unintended casualties. Have you heard anything about this?
This is war. War is terrible. Unfortunately, in war, there are non-combatants who will die or they will be injured. War is not meant to be “neat and tidy.” It is a last resort because it takes casualties on both sides.
Israel has bent over backwards trying to appease Hamas, Hezbollah and these other factions. But this unprovoked attack that murdered over 1300 Israelis went over what they could tolerate any longer. I believe last time we were on, we discussed and equivalent number, based on the population comparison between the United States and Israel, would be if a neighboring country which we were having an issue with, snuck in and killed over 50,000 of our citizens overnight.
If that happened, what would the United States be forced to do? We’d deal with it. Quickly. Decisively. There would be nobody that could tell us to “be nice and send them aid.”
This is what Israel has had to remind the United States of recently. What are your thoughts on this?
The last time we talked, you referenced what we see happening as God moving the pawns around on His chessboard – setting things up for the final move (Check-Mate). What do you think is being set up in the Spirit realm that we are witnessing right now? Has He started moving some Rooks or Bishops around yet?
I never thought we would ever see such anti-Semitism just erupt like we have in the past week or two. Especially here in the United States. But, this just goes right along with what the Bible describes as “every nation will be against Israel” in the last days.
How does all of this play into what the Bible says we should be looking for?
As I stated, I know things change on a daily basis right now. I’d love to have you come back on in another week or so and we can discuss the most recent events as they unfold. Would you be willing to do that?
Folks, these events Scott has been sharing with us today are not something that is new. These events have been building for decades but we are now witnessing – as Scott put it – a chess match being played out in front of us.
These end time scenario events are just like that. Jesus Himself said there would be signs, etc. that occur PRIOR TO the End Times. And He gave some examples, in addition to the Book of the Revelation which He had John write about.
Pay attention to what you are seeing on the news. Pray for Israel. Pray for the Palestinian civilians that are trapped. Pray they would all come to know Christ as their true Savior. Amen!
I want to remind you that in these days and times in which we live, we are reminded to “Look up – for our redemption IS drawing near!” Amen!

The Blue Cord Karen BijjaniThere was a time in this country when we trained, equipped and sent missionaries into the far reaches of the world as witnesses for Christ. Their success was astounding. But now, we see the Islamic faith making huge inroads into the people groups of, what we refer to as, the “10-40 Window.”
Now, these same nations are sending their Islamic practices into the Western nations and, as they do so, we can see the Christian Faith weakening here. In fact, they refer to us as the “Great Satan.”
Does that shock you? It shouldn’t. We have let our Faith in God and in Jesus slip to the point where immorality runs rampant in this nation. This nation is the #1 promoter of pornography, drugs, etc. So much so that now, other nations look to us as needing to hear the Gospel.
In that light, I want to bring you someone today who is still faithful in reaching across other cultures. Sharing her Faith with people of other Faiths.
Karen Bejjani grew up in America’s heartland, basically unaware of the faiths in other cultures around the world. She was a successful business woman, climbing the corporate ladder of success.
Then, in 2011, she and her husband Renod, launched iHOPE Ministries. iHOPE Ministries comes alongside the Church to inspire and empower people every day Christians to share their faith with people of other faiths. Amen!
Through the efforts of iHOPE Ministries, thousands of people have become Jesus followers across the world. God is making an extraordinary impact through ordinary Christians – and doing it through iHOPE Ministries.
Karen is also the author of a great book, “The Blue Cord: Connecting Your Faith with Purpose.”
She also hosts a podcast by the same name and the ministry also has some training materials and courses as well.Help me welcome to the program, Karen Bejjani. Karen, thank you for coming on the program today to share all about your ministry. I do appreciate it.
The first question I always start with is this… Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Karen Bejjani?”
Your husband was a Christian living in a Muslim country. Share a little bit about his upbringing and the persecution he endured.
This persecution gave him a true hatred of Muslims, correct?
How did his story affect you when you first heard it?
From what I understand, he realized the Middle East and North Africa shifted from a Christian heritage to 99% Muslim – but that was not all. He lived in those areas and now he started seeing the trends in Western nations – just as I alluded to in the opening, correct?
Your background was not in ministry. What was the impetus that the Lord used to get you started doing what you are doing now in ministry?
Have you always been so outspoken and courageous about sharing your Faith?
Share with us some of the teachings and outreaches that iHOPE Ministries sponsors…
But, not everyone is evil. Not everyone truly understands what their faith truly represents. What should we know about people of other faiths who are living here among us that you have learned over the years?
Let’s shift gears a little bit and talk about your book.
What motivated you to write and publish “The Blue Cord” at this time? Why now?
What does “The Blue Cord: Connecting Your Faith with Purpose,” help readers to accomplish.
I also read you have a “Blue Cord Study” through iHOPE Ministries. Can you share about that project and what you accomplish?
How long have you been doing the podcast “The Blue Cord Podcast?” Share with us about your podcast…
Karen, this is so interesting. God Bless you and your husband for the work you are accomplishing for the Body of Christ. It truly is impressive and definitely needful in the day and time in which we live right now.
If someone wanted to purchase your book, how can they do that? Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or receive more information – or maybe to do an interview such as this – how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, as we started this episode, we discussed how people of other Faiths have impacted the Christian heritage of our nation, the United States. We need more ministries like iHOPE Ministries to take their rightful place and reverse the trend.
Instead of all the “feel good” messages and the “Kumbaya” feelings they invoke, we need to do what Jesus told us to do. “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel.”
The “world” does not just mean to other nations. It is your coworkers. It is your neighbors. It is your barber or hairdresser. It is the cashier at the grocery store or your car mechanic. Amen!
I urge you to drop down below into the show notes and reach out to Karen. Do it right now, while you are thinking about it. Amen!
Be sure to click the links there to order her book and be sure to receive information on the courses they offer and be sure to listen and subscribe to her podcast! Glory to God!
This book will embolden you to let go of any doubt or fear about sharing your faith in a cancel culture and, instead, focus on practical ways to let your light shine for Christ! Amen!
All the links are right there in the show notes, amen!

Drawing Closer to the Day of the Lord TS WrightAs the world leans closer and closer to what is called the “End Times” war scenario, we see politicians of all shapes, sizes, colors and parties beginning to take sides and reveal their true hearts.
We have Palestinian and Hamas supporters in Congress. We have Palestinian Hamas supporters in colleges. We have Palestinian and Hamas supporters protesting in the streets.
We also see “some” Israeli supporters – but the liberal news agencies are not really covering them, their stories or discussing the reason Israel has the right to defend itself as a nation.
Folks, if you balance out the per capita ratio of those murdered on October 7th, you will see why Israel is so adamant on destroying Hamas once and for all. If the same ratio of casualties were here in the United States, I believe it would be something like 50,000 victims if it would have happened here.
If that did happen here, do you think the United States would respond to the terrorist attacks?
Do you think we would ignore the pleadings of the world in our response to destroy the elements that attacked us?
We fought a 20 year war when terrorists killed 2600 people. Imagine what we would do if a people group came here and murdered 50K in one day…
Today, our guest is TS Wright. He is coming back on to discuss what we are seeing, right now, and how it all relates to what the Bible says will be happening in the last days – just before Jesus returns. Scott Wright is the author of the “God Centered Concept Journal” and has a unique insight into prophecy and the end times.
I want to get right into our discussion today, so help me welcome back our good friend, Scott Wright.
We have seen Israel continue to destroy Hamas buildings in Gaza, sometimes more than 400 air strikes per day. They have continued to prepare for the ground invasion of Gaza, but as of the time of this recording, have not done so.
We have seen Qatar negotiate aid and also the release of a couple of the hostages.
Can you give us an update on what you see happening in Israel right now (I know this changes almost on a daily basis – but as of the time of this recording – what do you see)?
We see Iran and their proxies start to shoot at US troops in Iraq and the surrounding region. Yet, this administration has zero response thus far. Doesn’t this just embolden Iran to escalate a bit more because they sense weakness in this president and an unwillingness to show strength because of the upcoming election?
Pastor Bob shares about a war simulation he was part of back in the mid-1980’s the involved Iran (and what the results showed – but using the technology back then – not today).
What do you think is being set up in the Spirit realm that we are witnessing?
As I stated, I know things change on a daily basis right now. I’d love to have you come back on in another week or so and we can discuss the most recent events as they unfold. Would you be willing to do that?
Folks, these events Scott has been sharing with us today are not something that is new. These events have been building for decades but we are now witnessing – as Scott put it – a chess match being played out in front of us.
Scott recommends we read the Book of Zacharia (especially chapters 12-14).
These end time scenario events are just like that. Jesus Himself said there would be signs, etc. that occur PRIOR TO the End Times. And He gave some examples, in addition to the Book of the Revelation which He had John write about.
Pay attention to what you are seeing on the news. Pray for Israel. Pray for the Palestinian civilians that are trapped. Pray they would all come to know Christ as their true Savior. Amen!
I want to remind you that in these days and times in which we live, we are reminded to “Look up – for our redemption IS drawing near!” Amen!

Family Foundation for Your Future Kirk HortelLife insurance. For a lot of people, that is the last thing they want to discuss. It brings their eventual mortality directly to the forefront during the discussion. Your eternal salvation, if you are a believer, is guaranteed. That’s a great start.
But, what about those you leave behind. Wouldn’t be great if you can have a guarantee for them, here in the rotten here and now, as they go through probably one of the worst few days of their life?
What about if you are blessed enough to stick around awhile? Wouldn’t it be great to benefit financially in that regards as well? Of course!
Well, that is where our guest today comes in.
Kirk Hortel has a ministry called “CharityOne” and he helps families to create their own “Family Foundation” to help in estate planning, reducing taxes and help them to support charities of their choice, including increasing their giving to local churches. Amen!
Help me welcome to the program, Kirk Hortel…
Kirk, I appreciate you coming on the program today and discussing these very important topics for our listening audience!
The first question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Kirk Hortel?”
From what I understand, there was a book, I believe it was called, “Become Your Own Banker,” that was a big influence in your life. Can you explain why and how that book influenced you?
You focus on heritage as well as inheritance. What is the difference between the two?
There are other benefits of life insurance than just death benefits. Your ministry, CharityOne.com, helps families to create a family foundation. Can you explain what a family foundation is and why that is important?
How do you help families to create their own family foundation?
So this is a way business owners can help to establish their legacy as well?
When someone reaches out through your website, CharityOne.com, what will they discover?
How long does it take to set up your 501-c-3? How difficult is it?
We’ve been talking a lot about life insurance, business and finances – but in the end, it is all about leaving something behind for a person’s family after the main bread winner is gone to Heaven. It’s not something many people want to focus on – but it is a needful conversation.
Kirk, this has been so interesting. If someone wanted to ask a question, receive more information or possibly have you on an interview such as this – how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, Kirk Hortel has tapped into something here that every single family needs to be informed about. Other than our Eternal Salvation, financial planning and planning for our the eventual loss of that is going to occur when we pass on to Heaven is vital. You may not like to think about that. It’s a difficult concept to dwell on – but if you take the time NOW to deal with that issue – it will be a blessing to your loved ones once that event does take place.
Yes – we pray that event is a long way off. But, bottom line – it WILL HAPPEN. It is guaranteed to happen.
When it does, we pray that your next destination is blessed beyond description. But your loved ones are still going to be in the rotten here and now. What better gift can you give than to make sure they are taken care of when that event happens. Amen!
I urge you to drop down into the show notes and reach out to Kirk Hortel right now. Ask your questions. Receive some insight and information that will benefit you now… in your future – and in your loved ones future as well.
Get in touch and see what Kirk can do for you. The worst that can happen is you find out you’re on the right path right now. Maybe just a tweak here and there and your good. That’s the worst!
Drop the down into the show notes and get in touch with Kirk right now.

More Mentoring Nancy Lindgren pt 2Mentoring can take many different forms. For some, it means coaching. For others, it is someone who can point them in the right direction and nothing more. For others, it involves hands on instruction and others simply assigning tasks that teach a person how to do things they desire to achieve.
For Christians, it can also involve learning how to walk closer to God. How to fulfill our life’s calling. How to help others. It definitely involves know what God’s plan is for our lives. Amen!
Joining us today is Nancy Lindgren is a national speaker, author, and the Founder and CEO of MORE Mentoring, whose mission is to inspire women to love and encourage others through prayer-focused mentoring. Nancy has authored/co-authored a series of seven books called “Together — A Mentoring Guide for Mentors & Mentees.”
She has also created a process for churches wanting to start a mentoring ministry and a course for training mentors.
Nancy has over 35 years of experience in mentoring and she loves coaching and consulting with those who desire to grow in their mentoring relationships.
Nancy is also the author of “Mentoring Made Real: The Power of Authentic Connection.” This is her latest book and one which we will share a little from today. Amen!
This is part two of a great two part interview!You also help churches to begin their own mentorship training programs, correct? Can you share a little about that for our listeners?
Let’s shift gears a little and talk about your latest book, “Mentoring Made Real: The Power of Authentic Connection.” Why did you feel the time was now to write and publish this book?
One of the things you talk about in your book is the “Four Pillars of Mentoring.” Can you explain those four pillars for us?
- Love
- Listen
- Encourage
- Pray
In your book, “Mentoring Made Real,” you also discuss three more key words: COME, BE, MOVE.” Can you explain these terms for us?

More Mentoring Nancy Lindgren pt 1Mentoring can take many different forms. For some, it means coaching. For others, it is someone who can point them in the right direction and nothing more. For others, it involves hands on instruction and others simply assigning tasks that teach a person how to do things they desire to achieve.
For Christians, it can also involve learning how to walk closer to God. How to fulfill our life’s calling. How to help others. It definitely involves know what God’s plan is for our lives. Amen!

Help me welcome to the program, Nancy Lindgren.
Nancy, I want to thank you for taking the time to come on the program and join us today to talk about this great book and what you are doing to help the Body of Christ. Thank you.
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Nancy Lendrgin?”
I read that you live in a town that is the “closest to Heaven in the United States.” Is that correct?
How did you get started in Christian mentoring?
The Lord gave you the name, “MORE Mentoring.” What does MORE stand for?
You have various mentoring programs, depending on where a person is being led by the Lord. Share with us a little bit about what a person, perhaps someone who is being led to start their own mentoring program, how you can help them in that area. Maybe helping them to avoid the pitfalls you had to experience in starting out. What do you have for someone like that?
If someone has, let’s just say, “heard the call of God” to become a mentor – but they feel “unqualified” to be effective – how are you able to help them in that area?

Hidden Fruit Robert Bass pt 2Robert experienced, not one, but two, major motorcycle accidents. This served to, let’s just say, “get his attention” focused on things that matter. The result, was answering the Call of God for his life. He started to write books and entered the ministry. Now, he is a podcaster, speaker, author of three books and a ministry leader. His latest book is “Hidden Fruit: Receive All That God Has for You.”
Today is the conclusion of a great, two part interview with Pastor Robert Bass...
You said in an interview recently that people can be in a situation that is not peaceful – but you can still come away with a sense of peace. Share about that statement with us…
In your first couple books, you focus on “Purpose.” Share a synopsis of your first two books with us and why you were led to write them…
Let’s shift gears now and talk about your latest book, “Hidden Fruit: Receive All That God Has for You.”
You share this book is for everyone who ever “longed for the Love, protection and wisdom of a father – whether a human father of or our Heavenly Father.” And that this book should be read like a “letter from a Father” to his children. Share with us a little bit about that with us…
This book is also about the “Fruit of the Spirit” operating in our lives. Explain how the “Fruit of the Spirit” is “hidden” from us, as you outline in your book?
There is no doubt the “god of this world has blinded the eyes and minds of the unbelievers,” as outlined in 2 Corinthians 4:4. But what about the believers? Are some believers, though born again, are they still “blinded” by the decisions they have made or are still making?
Share with us the story of you building a tent blindfolded…
How can someone receive all that God has for us?
As we get ready to close, can you briefly go over the fruits “Love, Joy and Peace” as outlined in your book and why they are important in a believers life?
Pastor, this has been so interesting. How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “Hidden Fruit: Receive All That God Has for You?” I take that it’s on Amazon, correct?
If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or perhaps request an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
Folks, we have been blinded to the blessings God has designed for us to have. It is high time that we open our eyes, both Spiritual and physical, to the blessings God has for us. Blessings that will lead us to lead a “fruitful life.” Amen!
In Pastor Robert Bass’s book, “Hidden Fruit: Receive All That God Has for You,” you will find out how to live a fruitful life. A life of “Love, Joy, Peace,” and more. Amen!
Pastor Bass has written this book as a Father would write a letter to his children whom He dearly loves. This book, if taken in that context, will help you to be healed of your past, your past mistakes, your poor choices – all of it – and to start to produce GOOD FRUIT! Amen! This book will help you to draw closer to God and to fulfill your destiny.
I urge you to drop down into the show notes, right now, and click the link there to order your copy of “Hidden Fruit: Receive All That God Has for You.” In fact, at the time this recording is being released, we are entering the Christmas season! Praise God.

Imagine giving someone a gift that will turn their life’s perspective around!

Signs of the Times – Tom Donnan pt 1Tom Donnan is back with us today as we discuss Bible prophecy in relation to current events – and do we have some current events happening right now that definitely relate to Bible Prophecy. Amen!
Tom, we will get to the war in Israel in a moment, but let’s kind of “set the stage” a little bit with some pre-cursors that indicate the day and time in which we live.
We know that God gives you some unique dreams and insights, so I’ll start there. You mentioned the name, “Jessica” to me. Let’s just start with that…
-
So I have been looking into the meaning of the name and the most common response “God Beholds.”
-
We have multiple opinions
Let’s talk about ISRAEL. You put together an outline of major events for us:
-
Prophesied to be restored as a nation. “Behold, a work of God’s hands.”
-
May 14th 1948, a people were displaced. By God’s design and the birth of conflict.
-
Good and evil warring over the souls of men.
-
Throughout time, evil has planned in destroying God’s planned future of Jesus return.
-
An ungodly hatred of Jews is the result.
Conflict over Israel will not be over until Jesus returns. Until then we will see conflicts, wars and escalations.
Amazing Bible Prophecy That Came True: The Nation of Israel Reborn - YouTube
Never ending Conflict until Jesus returns and puts down Israel’s enemies forever.
Bible prophecy is being setup for the final Act.
I was interviewing another Prophecy expert and he said that man looks at Bible Prophecy as a game of checkers. But God is playing Chess. What we are seeing right now is simply pawns being moved into position for the “final move” to happen.
In chess – the “final move” is when your king cannot move anywhere – “checkmate!” Is God preparing to call “Check-Mate” on the human race?
Sweden saying immigration has brought about serious crime. Why is that?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBfIeapnP98
Which brings us to the next point:
Israel-Hamas conflict: The complex history of the Gaza Strip - YouTube
Hundreds of millions of dollars have been funneled into Gaza. However it was not used to make life better for them but to arm the conflict.
Are these Biblical Events we are witnessing right now “the setup” for the End Times?
The War in Israel: Are We Watching Bible Prophecy Unfold? - YouTube
Folks, our discussion today was not to instill fear – but Faith. Faith in the Name of Jesus. Faith in the Bible. Faith in Biblical Prophecy. Faith that NONE OF THIS is happening by happenstance. None of this is taking God by surprise.
But ALL OF THIS is leading to what are called, “The End Times.”
If you prayed that prayer with Tom Donnan, reach out and let him know. Go to church. Walk by Faith and not by sight. Don’t be moved by what you see or hear – be moved by the Word of God. Amen!

Help me welcome to the program, Pastor Robert Bass.
Pastor, thank you for taking the time to come on the program today. I appreciate you taking the time from your busy schedule to join us.
First question I always ask is this… Other than that brief introduction, can you share with us in your own words, “Who is Robert Bass?”
I’ve had a couple of life changing events that happened in my life prior to me answering the call of God – so I know how dramatic those experiences are. It seems like the entire world is stacked against you until there is nowhere else to turn – but look up.
Even then, at least in my life, there was no “miraculous turnaround.” But things started to take on a different perspective and, one step at a time, my life began to transform.
I’m not saying “God made this happen” type of thing. I PUT MYSELF into the position that THINGS happened. The scripture comes to mind that you will “Reap what you sow.” Even if we don’t want to reap what we have sown.
How was that with you? I understand there were a couple of motorcycle accidents that finally got your attention. Is that right?
What transformed your perspective on life through those experiences?
You said in an interview recently that people can be in a situation that is not peaceful – but you can still come away with a sense of peace. Share about that statement with us…
In Pastor Robert Bass’s book, “Hidden Fruit: Receive All That God Has for You,” you will find out how to live a fruitful life. A life of “Love, Joy, Peace,” and more. Amen!
Pastor Bass has written this book as a Father would write a letter to his children whom He dearly loves. This book, if taken in that context, will help you to be healed of your past, your past mistakes, your poor choices – all of it – and to start to produce GOOD FRUIT! Amen!

Gaza and the Setup to End Times TS WrightFolks, unless you’ve been living under a rock, you are aware of the Middle East conflict that is happening right before our eyes on television involving Hamas terrorists and the Nation of Israel. Now, it is starting to spread to Lebanon and Hezbollah as well.
These things have been prophesied for years and years as, ultimately, going to happen. Now we see scripture being fulfilled before our eyes.
Some people just sluff it off, uncaring. Others are all worried and scared and upset. True believers can be concerned, but should not be surprised. After all, the Bible declared these things would happen in the last days. Jesus talked about it. The Apostle John wrote about it. Now WE are witnessing the beginning stages. Amen!
Today, our guest is TS Wright. He is coming back on to discuss what we are seeing, right now, and how it all relates to what the Bible says will be happening in the last days – just before Jesus returns. Scott Wright is the author of the “God Centered Concept Journal” and has a unique insight into prophecy and the end times.
I want to get right into our discussion today, so help me welcome back our good friend, Scott Wright.
Can you give us an update on what you see happening in Israel right now (I know this changes almost on a daily basis – but as of the time of this recording – what do you see)?
What do you think is actually happening on the ground?
What do you think is being set up in the Spirit realm that we are witnessing?
How do you see all of this tie into or lead up to the end time events? Things like the Ezekiel 38 war?
Iran has started to issue some statements. We see Lebanon and Hezbollah flex their muscles a little bit. What other countries are starting to prepare and might eventually become involved in this conflict?
As I stated, I know things change on a daily basis right now. I’d love to have you come back on in another week or so and we can discuss the most recent events as they unfold. Would you be willing to do that?
Folks, these events Scott has been sharing with us today are not something that is new. These events have been building for decades but we are now witnessing – as Scott put it – a chess match being played out in front of us.
These end time scenario events are just like that. Jesus Himself said there would be signs, etc. that occur PRIOR TO the End Times. And He gave some examples, in addition to the Book of the Revelation which He had John write about.
Pay attention to what you are seeing on the news. Pray for Israel. Pray for the Palestinian civilians that are trapped. Pray they would all come to know Christ as their true Savior. Amen!
I want to remind you that in these days and times in which we live, we are reminded to “Look up – for our redemption IS drawing near!” Amen!

Fitness and Faith Derrick Johnson pt 2Physical fitness is something that every person, regardless of age, needs to keep up on. When we think of physical fitness, a lot of time we think of dirty gyms, nasty locker rooms, big hunks that smell and look down on anyone that is not like them. Amen.
But it is not that at all.
When I was growing up in high school, I was anything but fit. I played sports, but was not considered an “athlete” by any stretch of the imagination.
But, once I joined the military, they “kind of have a way” of getting you into shape right away. I was impressed with what I had become and decided to continue down that road of physical fitness.
Our guest today is Derrick Johnson, also an Army veteran, a life coach, a trainer and someone who shares his mission of helping others tap into their true potential. Derrick came also came from a childhood of being bullied and as a shy child. Physical fitness became his outlet.
Now, he helps folks – just like you – to gain the confidence and physical prowess that comes from becoming physical fit. Amen! Derrick specializes in helping you turn just about any pain in your life into FUEL to help FAITH be your guide through life! Amen!
Today is part two and the conclusion of a really interesting and important interview. If you missed ANY of part one, go back and catch up! Amen!How does our physical fitness relate to our spirituality?
You share we should make a list of things we DO NOT WANT and the “flip the pain” into fuel to move forward. Can you explain this for us?
I believe one thing we never realize is that we are influencing people all of the time – even when we are not aware of it. Examples would be our kids, our coworkers, etc. Share a little bit about how many people may depend on us – some of which we may not even be aware of – and how our fitness level may relate to that…
Should we try achieve a level of fitness that somebody else has? Should that be our goal? Or should we be content with our own fitness goals – even if they are not that impressive to others?
I know you recommend everyone should try to achieve two things in the morning, one physical and one mental, just to motivate ourselves during the day. Can you explain how that would work for our listeners?
How did you get started in this fitness business? What led you to do this?
What is your goal for your business and how do you see yourself achieving this goal?
I know you have a website, FitWithDerrick.com – there are a lot of testimonials on there. Share with us how someone can work with you to improve their fitness level. If someone has a question our would like to reach out to you to receive more information, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Derrick, this has been so interesting. I totally agree that fitness, physical, emotional and spiritual fitness, is something each and every person needs to take more seriously.
Folks, as you heard directly from Derrick Johnson, fitness means more than just doing 100 pushups or being able to lift 200 pounds or run a 7 minute mile. Fitness includes our mental acumen and our Spiritual state as well as our fitness level.
Remember, you have a family that is depending on you. You have coworkers who are depending on you. You have YOU that is depending on YOU to make the right choices in life. Physical fitness is one of those choices. Amen!
Folks, you need to drop down into the show notes and get in touch with Derrick Johnson right now. Right now – while you are thinking about it. Amen. Just click the links below to reach out to Derrick Johnson and start taking back your life right now. Praise God.

Help me welcome to the program, Derrick Johnson. Derrick, I appreciate you taking the time to come on the program today.
Tell us about growing up and how your sister challenged you to get physically fit…
You advocate that nobody should allow our past to dictate our future. No matter what our past may be all about. Explain that for us…
I know you talk about the “runners high” and things like that when you push your body past what it (the body) thinks is the limit. Can you share with us a little bit about that…
I loved working out in the morning. In the Army, I would wake up at 430am, drive to the unit and go for a run 3 or 4 mile run before PT at 6am. I just loved working out in the morning. When did you – and when do you recommend – for people to get their workouts in?
How does physical fitness relate to business success, relationship success – and our own self esteem?
I enjoyed working out on my own. Competing with myself. Lifting more each week, going faster each week, etc. What are your thoughts on working out alone or with others?
Folks, as you heard directly from Derrick Johnson, fitness means more than just doing 100 pushups or being able to lift 200 pounds or run a 7 minute mile. Fitness includes our mental acumen and our Spiritual state as well as our fitness level.

How the Church Shoots Our Wounded Matthew Karchner pt 1Today in the news, we see a massive attack on Christianity. It is coming from all sides. It is happening in government, in education, in public, in private and the devil is relentless in his efforts to keep people in bondage and to silence the Church and anyone who claims Faith in Christ.
One of the most prolific attacks on Faith comes from the LGBTQ+ community and those who endorse and support this type of behavior. Our guest today was part of that community for many years – that is until he found Christ! Amen!
Today, we have an incredible guest with us, someone whose journey from a life deeply entwined with homosexuality - but has now been delivered, saved, called and serves as a devoted missionary for Christ overseas. Amen!
Matthew Karchner experienced a profound transformation that can only be described as supernatural. For many years, he navigated the complexities of his life, searching for identity and purpose in all the wrong places. Drugs, alcohol, even thoughts of prostitution. He faced challenges and questions that many of us may not be able to relate to – but there are many people out there, some listening right now, that can. Amen!
Matt was working for PNC Bank for 15 years. But in having been delivered from the gay lifestyle in 2010, he was forced by PNC Bank to support the LGBTQ agenda. To that, he refused. His letter of resignation stated, “I have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back!” AMEN! Glory to God!
Once chief among gay sinners, Matt now calls the LGBTQ to repentance and Faith in Christ! He earned an Masters of Arts in Theological Studies from Liberty University and is on target to earn his Masters of Divinity soon. Amen!
Now, Matthew is now a missionary and church pastor in Cambodia, sharing the message of hope and transformation with others who are also seeking their own path to redemption. His story reminds us that, with Faith, Hope and Love – and Jesus Christ – even the most challenging circumstances can be overcome.
His ministry is called, “Castaway Ministries” and he is the author of the book, “The Church: We Shoot the Wounded.”
This is part two of an amazing two part interview with Pastor Matthew Karchner!
What would you like to see pastors and churches do better concerning these situations?
I don’t know the answer to this question, so that’s why I’m asking it. Do you know what the recidivism rate is for homosexuals that have been delivered and the fell back into that lifestyle?
I ask that because we see it blasted all over the media when a pastor falls from Grace. The media will give it headlines far and wide and people will cry out for greater accountability, etc. Has this sort of thing happened to you because of your background? Where churches and other Christians don’t “trust you” because they think you may backslide and, I don’t know, take others with you?
And this is after you’ve been delivered. After you’ve been saved and forgiven. I believe there are some in the church who have committed adultery, done drugs, committed robberies, etc. They’ve been forgiven and accepted back – but why do you think they are more suspicious, not just of you, but of others who struggled with homosexuality?
You’ve actually authored three books. The first was published in 2020 and titled, “Straight: An ExGay Prodigal Son.” Your second was a follow on book called, “Straight 2: ExGay Adventures in Christ,” published in 2021. Share about those two books. Why you wrote them and published them…
Your book, “The Church: We Shoot the Wounded,” is your latest book, published in September of 2022. Why did you write this book and why publish it now?
Share about your book “The Church: We Shoot the Wounded.”
How has that book been received and viewed by “the Church” and pastors?
I wanted to ask you, what did Liberty University think of your testimony?
Matt, what would you like to say to pastors out there that may be listening to us right now?
I praise God for your deliverance. That’s why, when you reached out, I jumped at the chance to have you on the program. Your testimony is the kind that needs to be shared in these dark days that we are facing right now. Your testimony is what many believers are praying for – and to hear all of the backlash and condemnation, etc. you received is heartbreaking. I pray that this interview will help to break down some of those barriers for you. You can share the link to this interview with those you are reaching out to and it may help them to hear everything we’ve been discussing today.
How can someone obtain copies of your books, “Straight;” “Straight 2;” and “The Church: We Shoot the Wounded” – are they available on Amazon?
If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question, or maybe to do an interview such as this – how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
You’re a missionary in a far land, doing the work of the Lord. You obviously need some financial support to continue doing the Lord’s work. If someone listening right now would like to sow some financial seed into good ground – how can they do that? How can they send along an offering of support?
Folks, Matthew Karchner’s story is not an isolated incident. These are the types of salvations and deliverances believers pray for in this day and time! Amen! I urge you to drop down into the show notes and order copies of Matthew Karchner’s books. Get in touch with him. Invite him to do interviews. Invite him to speak when he’s home (you can even do Zoom events now, thanks to COVID). Amen!
Be sure to send along an offering of support as well. Every little bit helps. Don’t think, “I can’t send much…” and then do nothing. If everyone could send something, he could expand his outreach even more. Amen! Do it today, while you are thinking about. Pastor – I urge you to pray about supporting Mathew as one of your missionary projects. Amen!

First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Matthew Karchner?”
Your testimony goes back to a little dumpy apartment in Philly. Share with us, the PG version of what life was like for you back then and what happened that brought you to Christ…
Your testimony should be shared far and wide and applauded by churches across America! This is what they pray for, right? Is that what happened?
Why do believe they do not want to celebrate and share your testimony or the testimony of others with a similar background as yours?
What did the Lord teach you while you were going through this kind of rejection?
What would you like to see pastors and churches do better concerning these situations?
I don’t know the answer to this question, so that’s why I’m asking it. Do you know what the recidivism rate is for homosexuals that have been delivered and the fell back into that lifestyle?
I ask that because we see it blasted all over the media when a pastor falls from Grace. The media will give it headlines far and wide and people will cry out for greater accountability, etc. Has this sort of thing happened to you because of your background? Where churches and other Christians don’t “trust you” because they think you may backslide and, I don’t know, take others with you?
Folks, Matthew Karchner’s story is not an isolated incident. These are the types of salvations and deliverances believers pray for in this day and time! Amen! I urge you to drop down into the show notes and order copies of Matthew Karchner’s books. Get in touch with him. Invite him to do interviews. Invite him to speak when he’s home (you can even do Zoom events now, thanks to COVID). Amen!

Current Events and The End Times TS WrightScott Wright is back with us today. Scott has been teaching us about the different ages of the Church and significant things the Bible and history has to say about them. Amen. He has also been helping us to understand the modern day church age, the Names of God and with modern day issues and comparing these things to what the Bible says is about to happen. Amen! And that is something we all should be interested in.
Scott is also a podcaster and has a truly great podcast called, “The God Centered Concept,” as well. You really need to listen – and subscribe – to his podcast. Amen!
He has also published a journal called, “God Centered Concept Journal: Making God’s Word My Ways.”
We’ve had numerous sessions with Scott over the last few months, too numerous to go back and discuss the content of all of those episodes. So, if you missed any of them, I’d highly recommend you go back and listen and catch up. Amen! That would be well worth the effort and time – because TIME is running short. Amen!
Help me welcome back to the program, our good friend, Scott Wright! Scott it’s so good to have you back today, my friend!
Today, we are going to be talking about what is happening right now in the world with what is written in the Book of the Revelation.
Last time we discussed the Names of God. Today, we will focus on Israel and prophecy.
You refer to them as “puzzle pieces” that, as they come together, show us the “BIG PICTURE.”
So, let’s go over some of those puzzle pieces.
First, let’s start with Israel. That is a big thing. Share with us some of the dates that are special concerning Israel and prophecy…
1917 – Balfour Declaration
1948 – Nation declared a nation by the UN and recognized by the USA
1950 – Right to Return
1967 – 6 Day War and retakes the land and Jerusalem
2020 – Abraham Accords
This is especially concerning about Dubai and the nation of the United Arab Emirates.
This City is matching the description of Babylon. They now have relations with Israel.
What about the other Muslim nations in that region of the world?
How does all of this relate to the Third Temple?
I have seen many ministers that look at prophecy say that a nuclear confrontation is almost inevitable. And this confrontation will probably happen sooner rather than later. What are your thoughts on this subject?
Scott, this is so interesting. As you know, I love studying prophecy and the end times. Are you talking about any of this on your podcast?
Tell us about your podcast and how people can listen?
What will we be discussing next time? (The wedding banquet).
Your book is available on Amazon, “God Centered Concept Journal: Making God’s Word My Ways.” Correct?
Folks, these events Scott has been sharing with us today are not something that is new. These events have been building for decades. Think of it like an earthquake. It may seem like it “just happens.” But in reality, there are many minor tremors that take place BEFORE the BIG ONE!
These end time scenario events are just like that. Jesus Himself said there would be signs, etc. that occur PRIOR TO the End Times. And He gave some examples, in addition to the Book of the Revelation which He had John write about.
We are witnessing these signs now…
“Well, brother Bob, these things have been happening for decades, if not longer…”
Yes, that is true. BUT, they have now been happening at a far faster rate and far more dangerous levels than ever before. I like to call it a “CONVERGENCE” of signs that we have never seen the likes of before – up until now.
Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Scott Wright. Get in touch with him. Subscribe to his podcast. And be sure to purchase his journal and start learning all about the “God Centered Concepts” that he specializes in. Amen!
Do it right now before you forget about it later. Amen!

Beauty Beyond the Thorns Darci SteinerMany people have led lively, energetic, productive lives and have had nary any health problems. Others have been plagued from the beginning with health issues. Still more have lead healthy lives and then been plagued with health issues.
But, despite what group you may have just put yourself in, every single person, myself included, can live a full, productive life – regardless of health problems.
It is GOD living within us that matters. It is living a Spirit filled and Spirit led life that will determine our life fulfillment. I’m not saying it is easy… Pastor Bob has had his health issues ever since my accident in 2007. But God is still God and Jesus is still on the Throne and by His stripes, I am healed. Amen!
That being said, I do know there are now limitations to what I can do that are amplified a bit, if I can call it that, not only in getting older, but due to the accident and subsequent surgeries, etc.
What I’m trying to say is this – JESUS IS LORD. Amen! What He did for one, He will do for you.
Our guest today has also experienced debilitating health issues – and “By His Stripes, she was HEALED!” Amen!
Darci Steiner is an author, speaker and nutritionist. She has served in full-time ministry and assisted with church plants in Denver, CO and Los Angeles, CA. Back in 2003, Darci nearly died after a series fall down the stairs in her home. This fall left her seriously disabled. During her recovery, she applied herself and earned a Master of Science in Holistic Nutrition and implemented natural remedies into her diet which helped to save her life.
Darci became disabled a second time after a foot injury in 2018. During this time, she authored a award-winning book titled, “Beauty Beyond the Thorns: Discovering Gifts in Suffering.” In this book, Darci speaks about how God uses suffering in our lives to bring about Spiritual Healing.
To learn more about this important subject and learn more about this great book, help me welcome to the program, Darci Steiner! Darci, it is a blessing to be able to speak with you and I want to thank you for taking the time to join us today.
Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Darci Steiner?
Let’s go back before the fall down the stairs. Who was Darci Steiner back then?
What kind of injuries did you suffer after falling down the stairs?
How did this impact your life and your family at that time?
In your book, “Beauty Beyond the Thorns,” you share how God provides hope and direction for His people in times of suffering. Can you explain that for us?
How did your injury transform the way you looked at life and God’s plans for you?
You share that “Goals are to help people to understand that suffering is never wasted.” Can you go a little deeper on that for us?
You were able to fully recover from your ordeal through prayer and nutrition and, obviously, lot’s of physical therapy, exercise, etc. Can you share with us how readers of your book will learn how to do the same thing?
There are examples of others in the Bible who suffered greatly. Their stories also serve to inspire us how God can use suffering for His good. Can you share a few of those examples for us?
In your book, “Beauty Beyond the Thorns,” you share 30 gifts you learned while going through your ordeal of disability. Can you share just a couple of them in the time we have left?
You also have a Study Guide that goes along with your book, “Beauty Beyond the Thorns.” Can you share what the Study Guide is used for in support of the book?
Darci, this has been so interesting. Praise God for you in writing this book. I know it will be a blessing to your readers. If someone wanted to order a copy of your book, how can they do that? Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or possibly to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, what Darci has gone through, she did not go through it alone. That is the whole purpose of this interview and the entire purpose of her book, “Beauty Beyond the Thorns: Discovering Gifts in Suffering.”
If you are experiencing a season of suffering, you will find hope, humor, and healing throughout the pages of “Beauty Beyond the Thorns: Discovering Gifts in Suffering.” Modern-day stories of suffering are paralleled with similar biblical accounts that will both enrich your understanding of the Bible and provide hope for your personal journey.
Just drop down into the show notes and click the links right there. You can get in touch with Darci Steiner to ask questions and be sure to order your copy of this great book, “Beauty Beyond the Thorns: Discovering Gifts in Suffering.”

Since the year 2000, almost 1 million drug overdoses have resulted in death.
26% of all arrests in America right now, are the result of drug offenses.
“Well, brother Bob, that’s the illegal side of things. The criminals and such…”
Really??? How about this: 6% of Americans over the age of 12 abuse PRESCRIPTION DRUGS each and every year… that’s over 16 million people!
12% of prescription drug users are addicted… and I’ll have more to say on that in a minute…
82%... 4 out of every 5 prescriptions filled, are for opioids. Think about that!
Dr. Adena Asatoorian holds a Doctor of Pharmacy degree and has been a pharmacist for over 20 years. She has provided medication therapy management services and her interventions have truly saved numerous lives. Amen!

So much so, that when I had my knee replacement surgeries, as you heard, I did not even get the opioid prescriptions filled. God took care of the pain for me. Amen!

The Ten Commandments TS Wright pt 2Today, we are going to go into detail about the 10 Commandments. No, I do not have Charlton Heston here today… but we do have someone, maybe not as famous, but definitely an expert on the 10 Commandments. That person is none other than our good friend Scott Wright! Amen!
Scott, welcome back as we continue on this quest of digging deeper into the Kingdom of God and, as you put it, the “God Centered Concept!” Amen!
This is part two of a great, two part interview!The primary Commandments are 1, 2 & 10.Commandments 3-9 give details about 1, 2 & 10.You said last time that the First 5 books talk about Jesus and the Book of Revelation simply reflects the first 5 books. Can you explain that for us again?
The “Beatitudes” are Jesus explaining the 10 Commandments.
Look at Luke 14:26-43 and see how Jesus is explaining how to attach yourself to His Heart and God’s Will.
What are we going to talk about next time?
"Putting the pieces of the puzzle together!"

That person is none other than our good friend Scott Wright! Amen!
Scott, welcome back as we continue on this quest of digging deeper into the Kingdom of God and, as you put it, the “God Centered Concept!” Amen!
Well, I guess the best way to start is to say that there are actually more than 10 Commandments, because Jesus gave us a greater commandment than the 10 contained in the Old Testament. Am I right?
Tell us about the primary commandments being number 1, 2 and 10.
The Commandments are a Spiritual warfare guide to keep us focused on God and not the devil.
The “attachment principle” is summed up in the 10th Commandment. “Covertness is what leads to the Commandments 3-9.”
So Commandments 3-9 give the details about numbers 1, 2, and 10 and what it looks like when you are not focused on God?
A lot of people say the Book of Deuteronomy as “The Book of the Law.” But you say it is much more than that. Why?
You said last time that the First 5 books talk about Jesus and the Book of Revelation simply reflects the first 5 books. Can you explain that for us again?
Be sure to come back for part TWO in the very next episode!

Above and Not BeneathRobyn SearsOne thing that I learned from my time in the military, was belief in yourself must come from within. You have to “see yourself” as an overcomer in any situations you face. Be it physical, emotional, or whatever.
That does not mean you have “go it alone.” The military prides itself on team work. That type of training begins day one in basic training and continues all through your career.
But, for those who have not had their mindset strengthened by that type of training and those types of experiences, it is easy to lose sight of just how special you are. It is easy to fall victim to life’s circumstances and begin to have a negative mindset about everything.
Sometimes, things happen to us that we have no control over. Life happens. But it is especially important, during those times, where we need to see ourselves as overcomers. Children of the Most High God. Victorious over circumstances. Heirs of the Kingdom. Amen!
Our guest today helps women who have experienced adversity in their life, to achieve success and to improve their mindset.
Robyn Sears became a wife and mother at the age of 17. She was focused on raising and nurturing her family until, at the age of 34, she found herself divorced and having no skill sets to fall back on.
It was at this time she entered the workforce and faced challenges there as well. But her desire to provide for her three children, the challenges she faced, including difficulties with her first boss, all combined to increase the pressures and apprehension she was facing on a daily basis.
At least until God brought her together with a couple who owned a thriving business, who also became her mentors. Through their guidance and support, she was able to grow spiritually, personally and professionally. Amen!
Robyn Sears eventually formed, “Above and Not Beneath” to help coach single mothers who are looking to improve their lives through personal and professional development.
If you are a single mother or perhaps someone who has survived domestic abuse, sex trafficking or poverty, etc., you need to pay special attention to our interview today.
Robyn Sears will be explaining some things for us today that will inspire you, will help you to see the opportunities God is making available to you, to help you achieve more and experience personal and professional success. Amen!
Help me welcome to the program, the founder of “Above Only and Not Beneath,” Robyn Sears. Robyn, thank you for taking the time to join us today!
The first question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information, can you share with us in your own words, “Who is Robyn Sears?”
Tell us about how life started out, married at the age of 17 and what was life like at that point in your life?
One thing I found on your website, which really hit home for me, was where you were talking about a couple that had mentored you and you learned, “…the pursuit of perfection creates stress, while embracing mistakes fosters genuine growth.” Can you explain that for us?
I noticed you use something called “the power of the pause.” Can you explain that for us and how does it work?
You share that your coaching program involves, “Focus; Reflect: Refine.” Can you share those three steps with us and what they mean?
You also help women to strengthen, what you refer to as, “Three Mental Muscles.” What are those muscles and how do you strengthen them?
Are there ways to take stressful situations and turn them around from a problem to an advantage?
You encourage businesses to invest in the single mother community. Are there advantages for the business to do so?
Not all women are in the same situation you were in. Do you have an assessment program or something that a woman will take before you start to help her?
You are also a podcaster, correct?
Share about your podcast with us…
Robyn, this is so interesting and also, so needful, in this day and time in which we live. If someone has a question or would like to receive more information on this program, how do you recommend them to get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, if what Robyn has been sharing with us today has touched your heart, I want you to drop down into the show notes and get in touch with her, right now. Amen!
Even if you are not seeking assistance, perhaps you can help in the funding of her effort in this outreach. Amen! Every person could do something to help. You’ve heard me say before, there are “those that go; those that help those that go and those who pay for those that go.” Amen!
I’m sure Robyn can use the extra help of financial gifts in her outreach. I also know that someone, listening to us right now, needs to get in touch with Robyn because the situation you are in is not a good one. You need to talk with someone who has “been there and done that” – and that is Robyn. Amen!
Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Robyn Sears right now – while you are thinking about. Don’t let the devil have the last say. You are a child of the Most High God and He has equipped Robyn to be able to minister to you, right now.

Church Apps – Michael ByrdTechnology can sometimes be a “four letter word” when it comes to how churches feel about it. The truth is, technology is what helps to spread the Gospel around the world faster than at any time since the days of Jesus. Amen!
Computers now allow us to do this easier than ever before! IF you know what to do and how to use the technology.
Unfortunately, many churches are not as proficient at this as they should be. Sometimes, it is the technology itself. For others, it’s the cost factor. For others it’s “new” and they are afraid of using it.
Well, having been in online ministry since 2009, I’m telling you right now, the Lord allowed computer technology to be used in this day and time to help further the accomplishment of the “Great Commission” faster than ever before.
It is not possible to minister around the world, anywhere there is an internet or wifi or cell phone signal – simultaneously, while you are sitting behind your computer or preaching from the platform in your church. Amen!
“Well, what about the cost, brother Bob?”
Compared to the cost of what it used to be, traveling, the hassles, etc. – it is very, VERY cost efficient.
Michael Byrd has over 20 years of ministry experience spanning both, youth and children’s ministry in Mississippi, Tennessee, Texas and Oklahoma. He is passionate about children’s ministry and about the use of technology to “Get the Word Out” into all the earth. He is part of “ChurchApps” which is part of Live Church Solutions, a 501-c-3 organization that helps churches to utilize technology to be more effective in ministry outreach. Their website is https://churchapps.org and it has a lot of great information on there, which we will go over today.
Church Apps, has a number of free and open source solutions to help you with some of the challenges churches face with technology, such as getting a website online, live streaming your services, tracking key information (such as attendance, membership and giving). Understanding that church budgets are often tight and every dollar is stretched to the max, they do not want to add to the stress and become a barrier to the church using technology to share the Gospel with the world.
To explain how all of this is accomplished, help me welcome to the program, Michael Byrd.
Michael, thank you for taking the time to join us today! I do appreciate your time.
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Michael Byrd?”
The mission of “Live Church Solutions” is to “foster the growth of local churches by offering modern technological solutions, logistical support, educational guidance, mentoring and spiritual content to churches. Your aim is to ignite a deep love of Jesus, motivating churches to expand their reach and expand their impact.”
You do this is several areas. Can you share those areas with us and how you accomplish this?
- Lessons
- https://chums.org/
- B1Church
I know, from dealing with churches, trying to convince them to use online resources to improve their outreach, many are hesitant to do so. I have found that it is mainly because they are intimidated by the technology. How are you helping them to overcome their fear of using the technology which God has allowed to be developed for this day and time in which we live?
I know many churches started to move online during the COVID pandemic shutdown. Several went to Facebook or even YouTube because it was free. Are there limitations or costs they should know about using those platforms which they may not be aware of?
With Live Streaming, you use the operations system of OBS. Is it difficult for churches to set up?
Can they use other platforms with your Live Church platform?
Share with us, again, the cost if a church or ministry would like to use the resources you provide?
Michael, this is so interesting – and so needful – in such a time as we live in today. If someone has a question, or they would like to receive more information or maybe they want to do an interview with like we are doing now, how can they get in touch with you? How can someone obtain more information?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, this service that “ChurchApps” provides is, as far as I can tell, a “one of a kind” in supporting ministries and churches like this. This is amazing! And to use technology in these last days is absolutely essential to reach as many people as possible all over this world.
You may be reaching someone through the internet that will change their eternal destiny – and not even know it UNTIL you get to Heaven. Amen! That is how powerful this is.
I want to urge you, Pastor, ministry leader, drop down into the show notes and reach out to Michael Byrd right now! Don’t wait another minute! This is so vital – you can’t put it off. Amen!
Drop down in the show notes, click the links right there and get in touch with Michael Byrd and get your church or ministry signed up for this amazing service – right now! Amen! Lives are being lost every single minute all over this planet. Who knows if your messages would be the one thing that can make a different in their eternal destiny.
Get in touch with Micheal right now, today.

Spiritual Growth Coach Phoebe UpkeIf you have been a believer for a while, or if you are new believe in Christ and want to go deeper, you need to pay attention to today’s interview. Amen!
For many people, some who have been in the Faith for years, they are still walking about in “spiritual diapers” (so to speak). They are not eating the “meat of the Word” by still trying to get by in “milk and baby food.” Amen! (Don’t shout me down when I’m preaching good – amen)!
Let me ask you, are you living life from your TRUE identity in Christ?
Do you feel “stuck” in some area of your life?
Are you able to hear the Holy Spirit’s voice and recognize when He is speaking to you?
Well, if you answered “no” to any of those questions, you will definitely want to stay tuned for what our guest is about to share.
Today, I’m speaking with Phoebe Upke, a Bible teacher and Christian Spiritual growth coach from out in Los Angeles, California. She is passionate about equipping believers to flourish and walk out their life, being fruitful in the process, which God has ordained uniquely for them. Amen!
It’s not about how often you attend church or how much of the Bible you have memorized. That’s not it at all. A lot of people feel if they “check all the boxes” that they should be just fine. But what really matters is walking the path God has destined for YOU to walk. Amen!
To help us learn more on this, help me welcome to the program, Phoebe Upke! Phoebe, thank you for taking the time to join us today! I do appreciate it.
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Phoebe Upke?
How did you get started as a “Christian Spiritual Growth Coach?”
In your opinion, and based upon those you’ve helped, what is impeding the average church goer from growing up spiritually?
I referenced in the opening about people being spiritually babies, even years after becoming born again. The Lord showed me an example one time, many years ago, in church. There was a woman holding a new born about three rows in front of us. Everyone was saying how cute it was and things like that. Across the aisle, there was a 4 or 5 year old acting up and people were glancing over there – but did not have the same face as when they were admiring the new born.
The Lord spoke to my heart and gave me the example of the new born being a born again Christian, regardless of physical age…they were a newborn baby in the Spirit. If not taught and disciplined, they would not know how to act in life. Then He asked me, if you came here 20 years from now, and the mother was still holding that baby boy in her arms, even though he was a grown man physically, and trying to nurse him or feed him a bottle, would everyone still think it was cute?
And that is when I started to study spiritual growth. Newborns are all cute. New born Christians are all cute and they are motivated and they want to win the world for Christ. Everyone is like, “Amen, look at him go now that he found Jesus!” The problem is, they have not grown up enough yet to do that. They are running around trying to witness to people while they still wear dirty diapers and are feeding on baby food.
It’s the church’s job, as well as ministries such as ours and yours, to help them to “grow up” spiritually speaking. Don’t you think?
Why do you believe many believers just hit a plateau of sorts, in their Spiritual growth?
Can you share with us the different stages of Spiritual Growth and explain each one for us?
Share with us a little bit more about your Spiritual Growth Coaching Program? What does it entail and what are the results someone will be able to experience and achieve?
For someone listening to us right now, they may be thinking, “How can I grow Spiritually?” What are some practical ways that person can begin to experience Spiritual Growth?
Phoebe, this has all been so interesting. You have a free eBook you like to offer our listeners as well, correct?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or possibly sign up for your Spiritual Growth Program, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, as Phoebe Upke has been sharing, it is up to each one of US to grow up Spiritually after we’ve become born again. For some, just getting immersed in the Word of God will help. For many others though, having someone to come along side and help guide us is what is needed. If that sounds like you, then I highly recommend Phoebe Upke to you! Amen!
Just drop down in the show notes below and click the links right there. Reach out to her. Jump on a call. See if what she is offering to help you with is, well, basically, an “answer to your prayers.” Amen! Do it right now, while you are thinking about. And be sure to download your FREE E-Book! Amen!
Phoebe, thank you for taking the time to come on the program today to share all about your coaching program and for helping believers to “grow up Spiritually in Christ” in these final days before our Lord’s return. I do appreciate your time.
Folks, that is all the time we have for today. For Phoebe Upke and myself, this is Pastor Bob reminding you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!

Raving Referrals Brandan BarnumDo you have a business, ministry, online or traditional?
Do you struggle with increasing the traffic you need to grow your business?
Is your level of success dependent on number of clients, customers or people that interact with your website or walk through your doors?
Would you like to know how to increase that traffic with very minimal cost?
Well, you will want to pay attention to today’s interview!
Our guest today is Brandon Barnum, CEO of HOA.com; author of the book “Raving Referrals: The Proven Step-by-Step System to Attract Profitable Prospects,” and is the Chairman of the “Champions Institute.” Amen!
Brandon Barnum, often referred to as the “King of Referrals” is an award-winning serial entrepreneur, coach, consultant, speaker, trainer, and workshop leader. He serves as CEO of HOA.com - the #1 Referral Network for Home Service Professionals, and as Chairman of the Board of The Champions Institute. He is a highly sought-after expert in referrals, marketing, sales, joint ventures, business development and business growth strategies.
Brandon Barnum has been featured internationally on TV, radio, several books including Cracking The Millionaire Code and Zero to Hero, and in magazines including The Wall Street Journal, Business Journal and Newsweek to name a few. Brandon is passionate about empowering business owners and professionals with a step-by-step system for attracting profitable prospects and expanding their income, influence and impact. Amen!Help me welcome to the program, Brandon Barnum! Brandon, it is a blessing to have you come on the show and share about all that you are doing! Thank you for taking the time to join us today!First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Brandon Barnum?”Now, let me kind of clear the waters a little bit. “HOA” is sometimes a “bad word” when it comes to homeownership. But your “HOA” is not about keeping someone’s front yard grass to less than four inches and things like that, correct?
How did you get started down this path?
Referrals ended up being something that allowed you to stand out from the crowd. How did you discover the power of referrals?
It all came down to “find a need and fill it.” But, at the same time, you can’t be all things to all people. We need to, for lack of a better term, “niche down.” At what point did you realize you had discovered, “your niche?”
Your book is “Raving Referrals: The Proven Step-by-Step System to Attract Profitable Prospects.”
Why did you write this book and why publish it now?
This is not just a book – but it is series! Correct? Share with us about that…
In your book, “Raving Referrals,” you discuss the “7 Laws of Raving Referrals.” Can you share those 7 laws with us?
What is the “Referral Partner Blueprint?”
You are also a leader in Artificial Intelligence as the CEO of “Codebreaker Technology.” What is that and what does it do?
I can’t get away from your book, “Raving Referrals.” I mean, you’re known as “The Referral King” and I am a firm believer in referrals. I was in the insurance sales business way back in the mid-1980’s until the mid-1990’s. Referrals were a major source of income for me back then. So I know the value.
Can you share with our audience how they can use referrals, basically, in anything they are doing (business, ministry, entrepreneurship – anything)….
I heard you use a saying on an interview that I love. It was, “Speak what you see until you see what you saw.” Explain that saying for us?
As a person works to grow their business, using the techniques you describe and teach, there will come a point in time where the solopreneur is unable to grow any more. Their plate is just so full. I know, I’m there right now. You think, “I need to do this thing “X” but, in order to do that, I have to stop working on this project “D” – but that is going to hurt the income, growth, etc. a person may be experiencing.
I guess the question is, “At what point do you need to step away and pass off the day to day operations to someone else so you can focus on the “next thing?”
How do you find someone that you trust can handle that responsibility? Let me guess, “referrals?”
You also have started a “Christian Business Alliance,” correct? How does this work?
Brandon, this is so interesting. I could talk to you for hours just picking your brain on different topics, Praise God. But, if someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question about any of the things we discussed today, or maybe even to do an interview such as this… how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
Your book, “Raving Referrals: The Proven Step-by-Step System to Attract Profitable Prospects,”
How can we receive a copy of this book? Is it on Amazon?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, Brandon Barnum has made it easy to access these proven systems to help YOU grow YOUR business. To help you create a community of raving fans that will be there to support YOU – as you support THEM.
And in business, ministry – basically everything, Jesus taught us it is what? “Better to give than to receive.” Then He went on to teach that, in a nutshell, you can’t “outgive” God!
What you sow will be returned to you again. “A good measure, pressed down, shaken together….” And then what will happen? “…and RUNNING OVER, men will give into your bosom!” Amen!
When you help others to achieve their dreams, people will actually start chasing you down to be a blessing to you and help you to achieve your dreams. Amen!
That’s what Brandon Barnum has put together into this book series and into practice in all of his businesses AND through the Christian Business Alliance. Amen!
Drop down into the show notes, click the links, get in touch with Brandon and be sure to order a copy of this great book, “Raving Referrals: The Proven Step-by-Step System to Attract Profitable Prospects.”

Canaan Found – O. Michael DutyHow many of you enjoy fictional books from time to time? I know I do. I am an avid reader, usually reading between 20-25 books every year. I also spend a lot of time in research. But every now and then, I need to take a break doing research and just enjoy picking up something that changes the pace for me a little bit. It allows me to get refreshed, but, at the same time, continue to learn. Amen!
Our guest today allows you to do just that!
Oliver Michael Duty, professionally, has been an architect for over 40 years, practicing in the Sante Fe, NM area. But he has since moved to the south and now resides in Greenville, SC. He now devotes his time to writing and finding ways to affirm and share God’s presence in his life.
He is also an author of a couple of books, “Egg Crate Beginnings,” published in 2017, and his most recent book, “Canaan Found,” published in 2023 and the subject of our discussion today! Amen!
Help me welcome to the program, Oliver Michael Duty. Michael, it is such a blessing to have you with us today to discuss this great book, “Canaan Found.” I do appreciate your time!
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is O. Michael Duty?”
“Canaan Found” is a fictional story, but the premise, if I understand it correctly, is to explore the presence of God in our daily lives. How do you accomplish this in your book, “Canaan Found?”
Let me get this straight… the main character is returning home to inherit the family farm. But receiving the inheritance is contingent on him investigating and discovering the truth of a murder of a deputy sheriff that occurred. Did the murder occur on the farm?
I don’t want to you to give away the story line, but I take it the police investigation never produced information on who committed the murder to begin with, right?
So, he is searching for the truth. Is this somehow related to how each of us must also search for “Truth” as it relates to our relationship with God?
The story causes us to reflect on the presence of God in our own lives, correct?
You shared that you use a lot of humor to help the reader pause and reflect on our own lives and how we interact with others. How are some of the ways you interject humor into a murder investigation?
Is your purpose to help the reader to somehow see themselves in the story?
You mentioned a possible sequel, that you have not made a decision on. Either way, “what’s next?”
Michael, this is so interesting. How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “Canaan Found?” Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or possibly do an interview such as this. How can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, I love to read fiction from time to time. It just allows us to “take a break” from reality. But when you read some great fiction that helps you to contemplate your relationship with God… then it becomes something that could benefit you for eternity. Amen!
I want to encourage you to drop down into the show notes, reach out to Michael Duty, of course. But I highly want to encourage you to click the link right there and order his book, “Canaan Found.” This book is going to open doors for you that you do not even know about right now, as you contemplate the story of the fictional character, Caleb – and relate everything that is going on to your own walk with God. Amen!
Drop down into the show notes, click the links right there. And, don’t forget, Christmas is coming just a few months from now (at the time of this recording). This book would make a tremendous gift to a friend or loved one that you know enjoys reading this type of book. I can’t recommend this enough!
You can order your books, yes, I said that plural – you can order them right NOW – simply by clicking the links below. You can purchase one for you own use and buy another copy or two (or three) and use them as great Christmas gifts, too. Amen! You never know how God is going to use you to spread the Gospel to someone by using this great book.

Real Life Examples of Heart Healing - Cyndy BartelliThere are so many people in the world today that are hurting. Hurting in different ways, but hurting in their hearts that affect everything else. Not heart aches, but actual, hurting hearts. Pain that is deep rooted and affects them each and every day.
What can be done for folks that are hurting like this?
Well, that is where our guest today comes in…
Cyndy Bartelli is our guest today. She was on before, you can listen to that episode in our archives. It was episode 1336. In that episode, she gave us some great background on her ministry efforts and all about her book – “The Heart Healer: God’s Response to Personal Prayer in a Hurting World,” and her study guide – “The Heart Healer Study Guide,”Amen!
But I’ve invited her back today to speak a bit more on this very important work. There are so many hurting people, many listening to us right now. Amen! If that’s you, don’t go anywhere! Cyndy is here to minister to you with some examples of people who are in situations that may be similar to yours, maybe not the exact – but all of the examples are of people who are hurting. Amen.
Help me welcome back to the program, Cyndy Bartelli. Cyndy, thank you agreeing to come back on and minister to those who are hurting. I do appreciate your time.
For those who may not have listened to our prior interview, can you share with us “Who is Cyndy Bartelli?”
And give us a basic introduction about your book, “Heart Healer.”
Today, we will be sharing some background and information on one of a few people that you have helped along the way. This person has an amazing story of a heart healing and I’ll just let you take it from here. This will be the first of several examples we will be going over in upcoming interviews.
But, before we get to that, share with us about your ministry, “Vertical Hearts” and how this ministry is helping you to spread the message of God’s extraordinary Love and ability to heal the broken places in people’s hearts…
I appreciate you sharing that. I believe today we will be talking about someone you will call “Sonya,” correct?
You have scriptures that help to make this point of heart healing for Sonya?
I know there are people listening to us right now that may be in the same or very similar situation as Sonya. Would you pray with and for them right now and help to bring “heart healing” to them?
If someone wanted to purchase your book, “The Heart Healer: God’s Response to Personal Prayer in a Hurting World,”how can they do that? Is it on Amazon?
Cyndy, this has been so interesting. If someone would like to reach out to you, to ask a question or maybe even order your book, or maybe even do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
How can they support Vertical Hearts in your outreach?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, as I shared in the beginning, people are hurting out there. It may be you. It may be someone close to you. It may be someone you work with. I can almost guarantee you know someone who is suffering a deep rooted heart ache that needs to be healed.
Cyndy’s book, “The Heart Healer” is a great first step. Drop down into the show notes and click the links right there to get in touch with Cyndy Bartelli and also to order her book, “The Heart Healer,” right now. Amen! Don’t wait. Get it into your hands today.
Cyndy, thank you for coming back on the program and joining us today. I can’t wait to have you back as we discuss Jesse and his background and how God brought healing to another wounded heart. Amen!
Folks, that is all the time we have for today. For Cyndy Bartelli and myself, this is Pastor Bob reminding you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!

Disciple Making Movement Cynthia AndersonThe primary command Jesus gave His disciples was to “Go and make disciples.”
He did not say, “Go and get people saved” (though that is an important first step). He did not say, “Go into all the earth and heal people.” He did not say, “Go into all the earth and convert different religions to Christianity.”
The command He gave was “Go and make DISCIPLES.” That is what we are supposed to be doing. Preaching, witnessing, having people to be born again – all of those are STEPS to help people to BECOME disciples.
That is one of the main problems the modern church is experiencing. We are too focused on the other STEPS and not the Disciple Making Step. Amen!
But, our guest today has been on the quest of “Making Disciples” for the last 30 years! Praise God! Cynthia Anderson is an experienced cross-cultural minister with over 30 years of experience in global leadership, church planting and catalyzing disciple-making movements across the globe. Amen!
She and her colleagues pioneered and launched nineteen different disciple multiplying movements – not events – MOVEMENTS – in throughout Africa and Asia, which directly lead to tens of thousands of transformed lives. Praise God! She continues to work in “multiplying disciples” through her ministry, “Disciple Making Movements Frontier Missions” or “DMM Frontier Missions.”
She has just launched a marvelous book that will help you to shift mindsets about discipleship and dramatically alter the outcome of your disciple making efforts! Amen!
It is titled, “The Multiplier’s Mindset: Thinking Differently About Discipleship.”
Help me welcome to the program, Cynthia Anderson!
Cynthia, thank you taking the time to join us today and share all about your great book!
First question I always ask is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Cynthia Anderson?”
How did you first get involved with “disciple making?”
Your ministry is focused on “Disciple Making Movements.” Explain to us what a “Disciple Making Movement” actually is as compared to, let’s say, “Church Planting” or something like that?
What are some of the advantages of these massive movements as compared to, let’s say the one-on-one discipleship making or the “new believer discipleship classes” you see in many churches today?
I explained in the opening that many, many churches today, sadly, have failed to live up to the command Jesus gave us to “Go and make disciples.” And it is not just the churches that have failed, for that is a command given to BELIEVERS. Each one of us. What are some of the obstacles you have observed over the years that has caused this to happen?
You have been directly involved in these “movements.” I take this is not so much “one-on-one door knocking” – but massive, community impacting MOVEMENTS. Can you share some interesting things that would demonstrate how these movements can impact a region, leading to the multiplication effect of discipleship?
This is different than just going into an area and getting a few people born again and then planting a church, correct?
Let’s shift a bit and talk about your book, “The Multiplier’s Mindset: Thinking Differently About Discipleship.” You’ve been doing this quite a while, over 30 years. Why did you write this book now and why publish at this point in time?
Is this book designed for the individual or a church group or Bible Study?
You also have a podcast titled, “Dare to Multiply.” I love that name. Share a little bit about your podcast with us…
Cynthia, this has been so interesting. How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “The Multiplier’s Mindset?” Is it on Amazon?
Do you do speaking events, at churches or conferences, things like that?
If someone wanted to reach out to you, maybe to ask a question, obtain more information or maybe to come and speak at a conference or even just to do an interview such as this… how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, as Cynthia has been explaining throughout this conversation, discipleship is not a suggestion or a “nice thing to do” once someone gets born again. It is fulfilling THE COMMAND that Jesus gave every believer to accomplish. Amen!
Cynthia’s book, “The Multiplier’s Mindset: Thinking Differently About Discipleship,” will help you to do just that! Amen!
Drop down into the show notes and get in touch with Cynthia. You definitely need to click the link to order a copy of her book, “The Multiplier’s Mindset.” In fact, you should order two, three or maybe even four copies. One for yourself, but you need to give the others out to your church pastor, the youth pastor and the outreach pastor at your church! Amen!
Cynthia, thank you for taking the time to come on the program and sharing all about your ministry and your great book, “The Multiplier’s Mindset: Thinking Differently About Discipleship.” I do appreciate your time today!

The Temple and the End Times – TS WrightScott Wright is back with us today. Scott has been teaching us about the different ages of the Church and significant things the Bible and history has to say about them. Amen. He has also been helping us to understand the modern day church age, with all the societal problems we are facing today, and is comparing these things to what the Bible says is about to happen. Amen! And that is something we all should be interested in.
Scott is also a podcaster and has a truly great podcast called, “The God Centered Concept,” as well. You really need to listen – and subscribe – to his podcast. Amen!
He has also published a journal called, “God Centered Concept Journal: Making God’s Word My Ways.”
We’ve had numerous sessions with Scott over the last few months, too numerous to go back and discuss the content of all of those episodes. So, if you missed any of them, I’d highly recommend you go back and listen and catch up. Amen! That would be well worth the effort and time – because TIME is running short. Amen!
Help me welcome back to the program, our good friend, Scott Wright! Scott it’s so good to have you back today, my friend!
So, let’s started with a basic question. I have a feeling, after some of our prior discussions, that this is not going to be the standard answer you would receive from some of the, let’s say, traditional churches out there… but you know Pastor Bob – I’m going to ask it anyway… amen!
Scott, last time, we discussed the “Seven Step Process” and we left off with how that process relates to the Third Temple as listed in the Bible for the End Times.
We know the First Temple and the Second Temple were built by the Jews, etc. We also understand from scripture there will be a Third Temple built in Jerusalem. But who will build the Third Temple?
What, exactly, is this Temple and how does it relate to the End Times?
Are we talking just about the “physical building” or something else?
Explain the “7 Step Process” of the Temple for us?
Why is this something we should be concerned with today?
What is something we should be looking for? Perhaps as a sign post or signal that “something” is about to happen?
What will we be discussing next time?
Scott, all of this sounds really interesting. If someone wanted to reach out to you for more information or to ask a question, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, these days we are living in and the thins Scott Wright are sharing with us are very important for you to know and to understand. I urge you to click the link below to get in touch with TS Wright and ask for more information so you can study this out for yourself! It will only take you a second or two to drop down into the show notes and get in touch with Scott! Be sure to order his great book, “God Centered Concept Journal: Making God’s Word My Ways.” Amen!

Spiritual Warfare Jeffrey Wilson pt 2There is a forgotten group of heroes that, basically, fly under the radar while suffering silently with things they have seen, things they have experienced and things that were expected of them and things that were done by them. But then, unable to talk about with anyone. Not even their family.I’m talking about military veterans, mainly combat vets, special operations vets, etc. Many of the things they participated in were – and still are – classified. They cannot just go around telling anyone things they have witnessed or participated in.This adds to their problems with re-integrating in society. Even after all these years, there are many, many veterans out there suffering. Even from back in the Vietnam war era.Our guest today participated in some of these operations, with special ops forces and he has witnessed, first hand, some of the problems faced by our veteran heroes today.Jeffrey Wilson has worked as an actor, firefighter, paramedic, jet pilot, and diving instructor, as well as a vascular and trauma surgeon. He served in the US Navy for fourteen years and made multiple deployments as a combat surgeon with an East Coast–based SEAL Team. The author of three award-winning supernatural thrillers, The Traiteur’s Ring, The Donors, and Fade to Black, and the acclaimed faith-based thriller War Torn.He has partnered with another Navy veteran, Brian Andrews, who served on a fast-attack submarine and is the author of three critically acclaimed high-tech thrillers: Reset, The Infiltration Game and The Calypso. They have partnered together to write a best-selling book series, “Tier One.” This book series is so successful, it is being developed for film and television as well. Amen!Today is part two or our interview and we will be concluding our discussion with Jeffrey Wilson.As Christians, we are called upon to “be ready to an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that we have.” (1 Peter 3:15). What should a Christian have ready in their “go bag” for times like that, when we may be called upon to “go” without notice?Special Ops will go through rigorous practice sessions in preparation for a mission. What preparations can believers take to always be ready to defend our position on Faith?You reference the story of David and Goliath in this situation. David went to see his brothers and take them some cheese and snacks. He had no idea he would make history that day. What are your thoughts on that?In the military, things are not always as they appear. You may be on patrol and something seems, “just not right.” For example, you may be entering a town or village and it seems peaceful enough. Then, you notice, it’s “too peaceful.” There is nobody in the street. No kids, etc. Or, you may see some kids at the far end of the street watching you, and they have their ears covered. On patrol, those are all ques you need to pick up and be aware of – immediately. As a believer, we also have to have a sense of what is happening around us that our physical eyes cannot see.Can you share with us some examples of situations you may have experienced and relate that to how believers should respond to invisible spiritual forces that may try to ambush them?In war, there are times when noncombatants are affected by the battles we face. It’s unfortunate, but it is a reality of war. We try to minimize those incidents, but there will be times when it is going to occur. It is called “collateral damage.” Can you give some examples when we may be faced with “collateral damage” in the spiritual battles we may have to fight?We mentioned earlier about the SEALS and special ops – and for that matter, just about every combat arms unit in the military – practice. They practice. And Practice. And practice some more. In the CAV, we would quip that we practice being “wet, cold, hungry and miserable – and we have become experts at it.”Soldiers carry their weapons with them. They practice and become proficient, to the point they can react and put rounds on target with almost no notice and it all seems like an automatic response. It’s often called, “muscle memory.”As a believer, I think some of the “practice” we need to do is actually to live the life of Faith and to become witnesses for Christ. Because we never know when that calling will manifest in a true Spiritual battle. For situations like this, what role does prayer and preparation in the Word play in the battle and how can that be applied to Spiritual Warfare?Jeffrey, as we get ready to close, I want to shift gears really quickly and have you share about your passion for our military veterans and the ministry you lead in Tampa, Florida.Tell us about your ministry there…Jeffrey, this has been so interesting. How can someone order your book series and your other books? I take it they are on Amazon, correct?If someone wanted to reach out you, to ask a question or possibly do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.Folks, the battle is real. The war is real. The Good News is, Jesus already won the war. We are simply the mop up crew. We are called to go in and Occupy until He comes. Amen!But the enemy is also real. And he did not enjoy losing. The devil is still active in this earth (just look around). But, again, Jesus has equipped us with everything we need.The book series “Teir One” and “Sons of Valore” are awesome! But, you definitely need to order your copy of “The Shepherds” book series and find out how to win the Spiritual Warfare battle that you are called to fight.

This adds to their problems with re-integrating in society. Even after all these years, there are many, many veterans out there suffering. Even from back in the Vietnam war era.
Our guest today participated in some of these operations, with special ops forces and he has witnessed, first hand, some of the problems faced by our veteran heroes today.
Jeffrey Wilson has worked as an actor, firefighter, paramedic, jet pilot, and diving instructor, as well as a vascular and trauma surgeon. He served in the US Navy for fourteen years and made multiple deployments as a combat surgeon with an East Coast–based SEAL Team. The author of three award-winning supernatural thrillers, The Traiteur’s Ring, The Donors, and Fade to Black, and the acclaimed faith-based thriller War Torn.

They have partnered together to write a best-selling book series, “Tier One.” This book series is so successful, it is being developed for film and television as well. Amen!
Andrews & Wilson have multiple projects under development for film and television with major motion picture studios and producers including: Skydance, PictureStart, Walden Media, Imagine Television, Sony, Fifth Season/Endeavor Content, Hutch Parker Entertainment, and Cross Pictures. Amen!
I said all of that to bring to the topic of our discussion today, which is a Faith based series written along the same lines, titled “The Shepherds.”
This is a Christian thriller series that will make us think about what we truly believe concerning spiritual warfare and the Christian response to a crisis. This is a fictional book, but the battles depicted are not fictional. Amen!
Help me welcome to the program, Jeffrey Wilson! Jeffrey, it is such a blessing to have you with us today! I do appreciate your time.
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you share with us in your own words, “Who is Jeffrey Wilson?”
First, thank you for service to this nation. As a former Cavalry officer, I just have to recognize the service of our veterans every chance I get. I appreciate all the sacrifices you and others have made that go unnoticed and unspoken in behalf of this nation. My step-son was a Navy Seal for 20+ years and, unfortunately, died in 2011 while serving as a private contractor after he retired.
I said all that because, “I get it” concerning your passion for helping our veterans. I do appreciate all that.
Now, let’s start off at the beginning. How did you and your partner, Brian Andrews meet and decide to work together writing these books and trying to turn them into movies and television films? How did all that happen?
The first book in this series is called, “Dark Intercept.” It is based on Ephesians 6 about putting on the “whole armor of God.” Can you share a little bit about this book with us?
Let me ask you this. I know when I was in the CAV, even though it was peace time, we always had our “go bags” ready. It had what we would need to survive the first several days on an emergency deployment. For our unit, it was Panama. I had friends who deployed to Grenada, etc. I know, since you worked with the SEALS, you probably had your own “Go Bag” and, as a surgeon, it probably had things inside that had nothing to do with what the SEALS had in their bags. But, that’s because we all have special areas and skill sets. That being said, there were certain items that were the same…
As Christians, we are called upon to “be ready to an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that we have.” (1 Peter 3:15). What should a Christian have ready in their “go bag” for times like that, when we may be called upon to “go” without notice?
Special Ops will go through rigorous practice sessions in preparation for a mission. What preparations can believers take to always be ready to defend our position on Faith?
You reference the story of David and Goliath in this situation. David went to see his brothers and take them some cheese and snacks. He had no idea he would make history that day. What are your thoughts on that?Folks, the battle is real. The war is real. The Good News is, Jesus already won the war. We are simply the mop up crew. We are called to go in and Occupy until He comes. Amen!But the enemy is also real. And he did not enjoy losing. The devil is still active in this earth (just look around). But, again, Jesus has equipped us with everything we need.
The book series “Teir One” and “Sons of Valore” are awesome! But, you definitely need to order your copy of “The Shepherds” book series and find out how to win the Spiritual Warfare battle that you are called to fight. Amen!

SOS for the Mom Mirella Acebo pt 2Today, we are going to be talking about the most important person in our life (other than Jesus, of course). That one person who is responsible for so many things, regardless of your age, your occupation – anything. This one person alone is responsible for your life. Who would that be?
MOM.
Now men, don’t switch us off right now… this is going to be a very needful episode for you to hear. I guarantee it!
And for you women out there – at any age – you definitely do not want to miss this discussion on today’s episode. Amen!
Our guest today is Mirella Acebo. She is a certified life coach and mom (which is where she derived here acronym the “Life Coach Mom,” praise God)! She has over ten years of experience leading and teaching women of all ages in the area of Spiritual growth and personal development.
Her passion is to help the everyday, busy woman, rediscover who she truly is (apart from being a wife and mom). She will help you to gain a fresh perspective about the many, many roles you play in life – on a daily basis. Amen! Using a little humor along the way, she will help bring some honesty, clarity and hope into your life.
Mirella is also an actress, producer and storyteller with over 15 years of experience in the television industry. She has appeared in numerous films, on television and in national commercials as well.
And she is the author of a fabulous book, which is what we will be discussing today, titled, “SOS for the MOM.” This book addresses 10 common emotions mom experience today and connects those experience to 10 Bible Moms who probably experienced those same emotions, too. Amen!
Let’s talk a bit about your book, “SOS for the MOM.” Why did you write this book and why now?
What is the difference between living a Spirt led life versus and Emotional led life?
Let’s go through some examples from your book, “SOS for the MOM.” You have 10 examples of these emotions moms experience today and you relate them to 10 Biblical moms. What would they share with moms today, if given the chance? Let’s start with the mother of us all – Eve?
1) Let’s start with Eve and how she must have felt knowing she allowed sin to come into her world?
2) What about “Mrs. Noah?” What can we learn from her?3) Next is Sarah and her Impatience?
4) Hagar was abandoned in the wilderness by Abraham. What can we learn from here about being a single mom who has been abandoned by the husband and father of her child or children?5) Then we have the mother of Moses, Jochebed about Worry? She released Moses into the river at 3-months-old. How difficult would that decision have been?
6) Then you discuss Rebekah as a “controlling mom?” How so?7) Leah about Loneliness in Marriage? She married Jacob who was in love with Rachel.8) You have Bathsheba listed here for a suffering mom? What can we learn from her?9) Next you talk about Hannah being persistent in prayer? Share about that with us.
10) Mary about Suffering in motherhood? I could not imagine what it was like to stand there and watch your child be tortured and then crucified and you can’t do anything about it...
Mirella, this is so interesting. I’m so blessed to able to offer your book to our audience. How can someone obtain your book, “SOS for the MOM?” Is it available on Amazon?

AGAINST THE ODDS Anthony Razzano pt 2Imagine this…your family has a linage of football greatness. As a young, 12 year old boy, you know this is in your blood too. Your family, your coaches – everyone, is telling you to “never give up” on your dreams.
Very often, we allow things to hold us back. We get angry things did not turn out the way we pictured or planned. We end up accepting these limiting beliefs as “the truth” of who we are. But, in reality, it’s not the setbacks that define us. It’s how we respond to the setbacks. It’s how WE DECIDE HOW WE RESPOND – that’s what truly determines the outcome.
The Bible says, in Proverbs 24 that “A righteous man may fall seven times and rise again.” I like to say, “If you fall seven times, then get up eight!” Amen!
Our guest today knows all too well how your attitude will determine your altitude…
At the age of 12, Anthony Razzano followed the script of many young boys. He wanted to play football. It was in his family DNA. Amen! But, on the evening of October 31, 1987 as he was preparing to play in an important Pop Warner football game under the lights at the historic Taggart Stadium, things changed in one instant of time.
With the flick of one match in his family's garage, a catastrophic incident forced Anthony out a side door, engulfed in a ball of flames. Neighbors acted quickly to extinguish the fire and summon paramedics, who rushed him to a nearby hospital.
He was then airlifted was transported by helicopter to one of the top Burn Trauma Centers in the country, the West Penn Burn Unit in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
While the medical staff worked to save his life the doctors explained the seriousness of the situation to his family. His family was told to make funeral arrangements. The doctors said, they would do everything in their power to save his life, but did not give any hope for him to survive. Zero percent. They said he probably would not live through the night.
But God had a different plan. Amen! After battling multiple bouts of sepsis and receiving over 134 blood transfusions - and being given his last rights three times, he survived! Amen! Anthony was released from the hospital on January 14, 1988. When Anthony walked out of West Penn, he didn’t walk alone.
With his family by his side and halls lined with patients, medical staff and members of the media applauding, he beat the odds. But surviving wasn’t the end of the journey.
He now had to face the painful recovery, the intense physical therapy, and every other obstacle in his way to live a meaningful life. Although he lost the fingers on his left hand and suffered scarring all over his body, he continued to fight back and ultimately resumed playing football for the New Castle Red Hurricanes.
In fact, again defying the odds, Anthony was a two year letterman on the varsity football team, and starting outside linebacker his senior year. Amen!
Anthony knows his survival was a blessing from God. He believes he was blessed with this miraculous recovery for the purpose of inspiring others to keep fighting when they are hardest hit and the odds are stacked against them. Against YOU. No matter what it is! Amen!
Anthony is now a Certified Public Accountant. He is an NFL agent – so he is still involved with football, amen! And his has just released an absolutely fabulous book titled, “Against All Odds: A Story of Faith, Courage and Perseverance.”
Today is part two and the conclusion of this great interview!
In your recovery process, were there times when you wanted to just give up? How did your Faith get you through those challenging times?
Share with us about the day you finally took the football field for your first game since the accident. What was that like?
You went on to have a great college career. You achieved graduation. You have your own business. You are still involved with football, not only serving as a coach for youth football, but as a Certified NFL Contract Advisor. How often do you get to share your testimony with NFL players who may be recovering from injuries and surgeries and they may be feeling discouraged about their future?
We mentioned youth football, youth sports. I can only imagine the inspiration you provide these young folks when they hear your story and telling them to never give up. It’s probably better and more meaningful to them than the Knute Rockne speech, right?
This book will definitely serve as a source of hope for those who may be enduring their own challenges in life.
Your book is on pre-order at the time of this recording. When do you anticipate it will be published?
You also are a motivational speaker. I’m sure your story is an inspiration to your audiences. I’m sure there is an event planner out there listening to us right now. What type of events would you be interested in speaking at?
Anthony, this has all been so interesting. It’s important to note that your experience is truly a testimony to the fact that “It ain’t over until God says it’s over.” No matter what others may be saying – it is God that is still in control. Your story, your testimony, is a real life example that, when the devil takes his best shot – God always has the final say. Amen!
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or perhaps invite you to come and speak at an event – or possibly to do an interview such as this… how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
And your book, “Against All Odds: A Story of Faith, Courage and Perseverance.” How can someone obtain a copy – or preorder your book? Is it on Amazon or going to be on Amazon?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, Anthony Razzano’s testimony should be an inspiration to each and every person listening to the sound our voices today. Imagine, being told you would not live through the night. But you do. But you told it again the next night. And the next. All of that negativity. All of the pain. Being given last rights on three separate occasions. Think about what that would be like for a twelve year old.
All I have to say is – “BUT GOD!” Amen!
Drop down into the show notes right now and order or preorder your very own copy of a truly remarkable book, “Against All Odds: A Story of Faith, Courage and Perseverance.” This is one book that will inspire you to defeat the odds and defeat the devil – regardless of what your present circumstances are. Amen!
Be sure to reach out to Anthony Razzano and invite him to your church, your event, whatever… this is one speaker that will resonate with every single member of your audience. Amen!
Drop down into the show notes and click the links right there – right now! Don’t let the devil talk YOU out of your blessing. The devil tried to take Anthony out of the game for the exact reason he is here today – to inspire YOU not to give up! Don’t let the devil win! Get in touch with Anthony and allow Anthony to inspire YOU, no matter what is happening in your life right now. Amen!

With the flick of one match in his family's garage, a catastrophic incident forced Anthony out a side door, engulfed in a ball of flames. Neighbors acted quickly to extinguish the fire and summon paramedics, who rushed him to a nearby hospital.
He was then airlifted was transported by helicopter to one of the top Burn Trauma Centers in the country, the West Penn Burn Unit in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
While the medical staff worked to save his life the doctors explained the seriousness of the situation to his family. His family was told to make funeral arrangements. The doctors said, they would do everything in their power to save his life, but did not give any hope for him to survive. Zero percent. They said he probably would not live through the night.
But God had a different plan. Amen! After battling multiple bouts of sepsis and receiving over 134 blood transfusions - and being given his last rights three times, he survived! Amen! Anthony was released from the hospital on January 14, 1988. When Anthony walked out of West Penn, he didn’t walk alone.
With his family by his side and halls lined with patients, medical staff and members of the media applauding, he beat the odds. But surviving wasn’t the end of the journey.
He now had to face the painful recovery, the intense physical therapy, and every other obstacle in his way to live a meaningful life. Although he lost the fingers on his left hand and suffered scarring all over his body, he continued to fight back and ultimately resumed playing football for the New Castle Red Hurricanes.
In fact, again defying the odds, Anthony was a two year letterman on the varsity football team, and starting outside linebacker his senior year. Amen!
Anthony knows his survival was a blessing from God. He believes he was blessed with this miraculous recovery for the purpose of inspiring others to keep fighting when they are hardest hit and the odds are stacked against them. Against YOU. No matter what it is! Amen!
Anthony is now a Certified Public Accountant. He is an NFL agent – so he is still involved with football, amen! And his has just released an absolutely fabulous book titled, “Against All Odds: A Story of Faith, Courage and Perseverance.”
Help me welcome to the program, Anthony Razzano! Anthony, it is a blessing to have you join us today, brother! I do appreciate it!
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Anthony Razzano?”
Take us back to the day in the garage. What was happening and what do you remember?
I understand that your family was told you had zero chance of recovery and was told to start planning your funeral. But God had other plans. You made it through the first night. Then the second, etc. I also read they had to keep you in an induced coma, because of a fever and infection? Is that right?
At what point did the doctors begin to think you may just make it?
Let’s talk about your book, “Against All Odds: A Story of Faith, Courage and Perseverance.” Why did you write this book and why publish it at this time?
In your book, you explain how surviving the initial incident was one thing… but the recovery processes was something else. Can you share a little bit about what it was like once you were over the first hurdle of survival and moving on to the follow on procedures?
Did you know the Lord during this time in your life?
In your recovery process, were there times when you wanted to just give up? How did your Faith get you through those challenging times?
Anthony, this has all been so interesting. It’s important to note that your experience is truly a testimony to the fact that “It ain’t over until God says it’s over.” No matter what others may be saying – it is God that is still in control. Your story, your testimony, is a real life example that, when the devil takes his best shot – God always has the final say. Amen!
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or perhaps invite you to come and speak at an event – or possibly to do an interview such as this… how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
And your book, “Against All Odds: A Story of Faith, Courage and Perseverance.” How can someone obtain a copy – or preorder your book? Is it on Amazon or going to be on Amazon?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, Anthony Razzano’s testimony should be an inspiration to each and every person listening to the sound our voices today. Imagine, being told you would not live through the night. But you do. But you told it again the next night. And the next. All of that negativity. All of the pain. Being given last rights on three separate occasions. Think about what that would be like for a twelve year old.
All I have to say is – “BUT GOD!” Amen!
Drop down into the show notes right now and order or preorder your very own copy of a truly remarkable book, “Against All Odds: A Story of Faith, Courage and Perseverance.” This is one book that will inspire you to defeat the odds and defeat the devil – regardless of what your present circumstances are. Amen!
Drop down into the show notes and click the links right there – right now! Don’t let the devil talk YOU out of your blessing. The devil tried to take Anthony out of the game for the exact reason he is here today – to inspire YOU not to give up! Don’t let the devil win! Get in touch with Anthony and allow Anthony to inspire YOU, no matter what is happening in your life right now. Amen!

Clothing with a Purpose Kimberly WilkersonHave you ever felt like “it was going to be one of those days?” I know I have – many times.
When I was in the military or when I had my business or even when I was in law enforcement, those times would pass as I went about doing my job and keeping busy.
But my wife, when she was having “one of those days,” would just have to stay at home with the kids and deal with the normal stuff day in and day out. Sometimes, when I would finally get home, she would be depressed. Sometimes frustrated. Sometimes angry. And I would have no idea why – other than knowing she had spent the entire day couped up on the house with two young children.
Does that sound like you? Especially if you are a woman who is continually battling that “self-talk” that all of us go through. But it is especially bad when you are the one doing all the self-talk and having nobody there to counter those thoughts. Amen.
Our guest today has developed a unique product and program that will help you to overcome those limiting beliefs and counter that self-talk with empowering language and something that all women seem to enjoy – great clothes – at the same time.
Kimberly Wilkerson is the founder of “Token Clothing Company.” Prior to founding this company, she was a speech-language pathologist who had spent many years studying the power of language. And, as a woman who has spent decades battling to improve her own mindset, Kimberly’s love for design and her quest to help others see their own self-worth was the foundation for merging beautiful fashion with elevating “I AM” statements. Amen!
Statements like “I am beautiful” and “I am loved” and “I am worthy,” etc.
The tag line of her company is “Wear it. See it. Feel it. Believe it. Become it.” Amen!
Help me welcome to the program Kimberly Wilkerson!
Kimberly, it is a blessing to finally get you on the program today! I’ve been looking forward to our conversation. Amen!
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Kimberly Wilkerson?”
You did not start out in the fashion industry. Tell us about your background as a speech-language pathologist. What is that and how long did you work in the career field?
Did you have those feelings of inadequacy and struggle with the negative self-talk, despite having a great and meaningful career?
What caused you launch this clothing line?
How difficult was it to find the supplier and production facility, etc.?
On your website, I see where it says the “Token Clothing Company" is the fusion of empowering language and gorgeous apparel to create an experience that helps women to overcome limiting beliefs and negative self-talk.” How do you accomplish this goal?
What is your “5 minute routine” you share to help women boost their confidence all day long?
You have a special program called “Pay it forward with pajamas.” Can you explain that program for us and how it works?
So this program benefits “Refuge for Women” and helps to empower those that survived sex-trafficking?” How did you get involved with this organization?
Do you have a physical location or is it online shopping only?
Do you do public speaking at conferences or churches to explain your product line and the “Refuge for Women” project that you help to support?
I see the pajama’s on your website. Are there any other lines of clothing coming in the future?
Kimberly, this is so cool. I know some of our listeners want to know how they can check out your products and get their hands on some of these cool things. If someone has a question or would like to get more information, how can they do that? How can someone get in contact with you and check out your online shop?
And they are able to participate in the “Pay it forward with Pajamas” program on your website as well, correct?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, not only has Kimberly Wilkerson put together the perfect product line for you women out there – she has packaged it such a way that will help you mentally and spiritually to become stronger as well. Praise God!
While you are building up your own self-talk, you can also help to do God’s work by helping some women who had to endure the unimaginable – being trafficked in the sex trade, but, somehow, were able to survive and escape. Amen.
I really, really, want to encourage you to drop down into the show notes and reach out to Kimberly. Check out the product page and order at least one, if not two or three sets of inspirational words that will encourage you and empower you through the “I AM” statements. And let’s not forget the all-important part of looking good and feeling good, too. Amen!
While you are there making your order, don’t forget to sow into the life of someone you may never meet this side of Heaven, but they will be waiting to thank you when you do meet there for the purchase and support through “Pay it forward with Pajamas.” Amen!
Drop down into the show notes and click the links right there – right now. Amen!

Where Do We Go From Here? TS Wright pt 2If you’ve been listening recently, you’ve heard several session with our guest today, TS Wright. We’ve done a deep dive on Revelation and the “7 Church Ages.” If you missed any of those episodes, go look them up in our archives.

He has also published a journal called, “God Centered Concept Journal: Making God’s Word My Ways.”
Today is part two of this amazing and vitally important topic of discussion.
Are we supporting the institutionalized church or are we building a network?
We can discuss the use of “Life Groups” and things like that and how it has turned into “fellowship” rather than outreach.Some people relate their salvation with their comfort. Some even say, “I’m comfortable with my faith.” But it is not supposed to be that way!
Scott, this has been great, as usual…
What will we be talking about next time?
(The “Declarations of Jesus!”)...
Share with us how someone can reach out to you and get more information on this?
And your book, “God Centered Concept Journal: Making God’s Word My Ways.”
How can someone obtain a copy of your book? Is it on Amazon?
Before we close, share again about your podcast…The God Centered Concept
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, there is no doubt that we are living in what we have called, “The End Times.” We are doing this in order to give you a more thorough understanding of how all this fits into what we are witnessing, right now, all around us.
We should not be in a state of fear and trepidation. NO! We need to be excited! We need to be thanking GOD for the day and time in which we live…

Help me welcome back to the program, Scott Wright! Scott, thank you for coming back on to join us today!
I have a few questions for you, based upon everything we’ve been discussing for the last several sessions…
1) Where do we go from here? We’ve shared a lot of great information… but most people want to know – “What do I do now?” Share that with us…
2) How do we spark the Great Harvest? Most churches are more concerned with their own church schedule and doing all can to make their own existence profitable – than reaching the lost in their community…
We discussed last time about how the Jewish society focused on their relationship IN GOD and serving God in the community. Today, we focus on our “Social media community.” How can we get through that or change that?
3) Are we supporting the institutionalized church or are we building a network?
We can discuss the use of “Life Groups” and things like that and how it has turned into “fellowship” rather than outreach.Folks, there is no doubt that we are living in what we have called, “The End Times.” We are doing this in order to give you a more thorough understanding of how all this fits into what we are witnessing, right now, all around us.

The Challenge of the Gospel Mike O’Dowd - Pt 2We all love a good story. And one of the all-time great story tellers was Jesus. Amen! He almost always told his stories, called “parables,” in order to leave a memorable thought with his listeners.
Well, our guest today is the same way. He loves to tell stories in order to make his point.
Mike O'Dowd spent 24 years as a pilot in the Air Force, flying combat missions across seven deployments from 1985-2010. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for Valor in Combat. Today, he serves as the pastor of Leptondale Bible Church. In addition, he is a published author, with his debut novel, "The Gospel: A Redemption and Restoration Story."
Pastor Michael uses the power of story to lead his readers through the epic message of good news beginning in Genesis (where it all started). He continues all the way to Revelation, where this amazing story ends and, as the Bible says, “All things become new.” Amen!
This book, “The Gospel: A Redemption and Restoration Story” describes doctrinal truth in story form, where God is the hero, and we are being saved. This book will help pastors and congregants alike, to understand the biblical details that saves us – and keeps us saved. Amen! Praise God.
This is part two and the conclusion of a great discussion with Pastor Mike O'Dowd about his book, “The Gospel: A Redemption and Restoration Story”But why this book now?
You are focused having churches embrace the “Great Commission.” Now, yes, it does involved getting people born again… but the command portion is to “go and make disciples,” which is the next step after getting them saved.
How have you embraced this commission with your church?
Share with us some information from your book… you start in Genesis with Creation and the Fall.
What does it mean for a believer to walk in the same way Jesus walked?
In Hebrews 2, we are warned not to “neglect such a great salvation.” How is it possible for us to neglect our salvation?
When will this new book, “Neglecting a Great Salvation: An Exposition of Hebrews,” be published?
Pastor, this has been so interesting. How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “The Gospel: A Redemption and Restoration Story?” Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to ask a question, receive more information or possibly do an interview such as this – how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, we may never be called upon to fly an A-10 in combat as Pastor Mike O’Dowd did starting out – but we are called be witnesses for Jesus which is what he’s doing now! Amen!
Just like Pastor Mike, we have our own back story. It is different from everyone around you. But yet, our end story should be the same! Amen! We need to witness for Jesus. We need to make disciples for Jesus!
Pastor Mike’s book, “The Gospel: A Redemption and Restoration Story,” will help you to fulfill your end story! Amen!
Drop down into the show notes and click the links right there! Order your copy of this great book. In fact, order two or three copies and pass them out to your friends – especially if you are in the ministry! Amen! Buy a copy for your pastor, too! I know he will appreciate it. Amen!

Help me welcome to the program, Pastor Michael O’Dowd! Pastor, it is a blessing to have you on the program today! I do appreciate your time!
Let me just start here…you were an A-10 pilot in Louisiana. Let me guess – Barksdale AFB in Alexandria?
I bet you had some mission runs out at the Peason Ridge area? Correct?
I was a Cavalry officer stationed there up until 1989, when I left service. But I loved the Wart Hogs. We did Combined Arms live fire all the time with the A-10’s.
You’re motivation to seek God started, or coalesced at least, on your trip from the states to Saudi Arabia flying the A-10 through a thunderstorm. Share that experience with us and what happened once you arrived?
As we discuss your book, “The Gospel: A Redemption and Restoration Story,” I want to ask you, first of all, “Why” did you write this book?But why this book now?
You are focused having churches embrace the “Great Commission.” Now, yes, it does involved getting people born again… but the command portion is to “go and make disciples,” which is the next step after getting them saved.

The Chess Match – TS WrightAt the time of this recording, we are almost one week into escalation of hostilities between Israel and Hamas and now Israel and Hezbollah. There are many that a worried this could escalate into something far worse than just Israel fighting terrorist activities.
You’ve heard me talking about this for years. I’ve interviewed numerous prophecy experts over these last few years and almost all of them have said the same things that we are witnessing right now on the news.
Today, our guest is TS Wright. He is coming back on to discuss what we are seeing, right now, and how it all relates to what the Bible says will be happening in the last days – just before Jesus returns. Scott Wright is the author of the “God Centered Concept Journal” and has a unique insight into prophecy and the end times.
I want to get right into our discussion today, so help me welcome back our good friend, Scott Wright.
Scott, we’ve been talking about this situation developing. We have been telling folks that “something” was in the air but we could not say “when” – other than “soon.”
What were your thoughts when you woke up just a few days ago and seen the sneak attack by Hamas against Israel?
From what we have talked about before and what we are witnessing now, what is your perspective on these events. What does it all mean?
I heard this morning that Saudi Arabia has now stopped talking to Israel and has backed Hamas. So the deal that had been on the table between Israel and Saudi Arabia has fallen apart. That affects the “Abraham Accords” as well, correct?
As of this morning, Israel is now fighting a two front war as Hezbollah has initiated attacks from the north as well as from Lebanon. What could this lead to in the next few days?
Women being raped in the streets then executed. Babies being ripped from the arms of their mothers and be decapitated in front of them and then tossed into the street. These are war crimes and, if the recent past is any predictor of the future, they will never be prosecuted. Thoughts?
On top of all that, we have Congresswoman Talib refusing to even comment on the massacre of innocent women and children by Hamas.
The United States is in a position where we have a weak president who does not want to get involved. We have a broken Congress right now where we have no leadership in the House of Representatives. We have a split Senate. We have a struggling economy. We have a weakened military because of all the cuts that occurred after the disastrous pull out and surrender in Afghanistan…. What do you think will happen next as far as a response from the United States?
Do you think this could escalate into a nuclear confrontation?
Scott, this is so interesting. As you know, I love studying prophecy and the end times. Are you talking about any of this on your podcast?
I want to get you back on in about a week and do a catch up episode to stay current on what is happening in Israel right now. Are you up for that?
Folks, these events Scott has been sharing with us today are not something that is new. These events have been building for decades but we are now witnessing – as Scott put it – a chess match being played out in front of us.
These end time scenario events are just like that. Jesus Himself said there would be signs, etc. that occur PRIOR TO the End Times. And He gave some examples, in addition to the Book of the Revelation which He had John write about.
We are witnessing these signs now…in fact, I believe the time for “signs” are over. And we are now entering the “fog of war.” Jesus IS getting ready to return soon. The only question is:
ARE YOU READY?
Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Scott Wright. Get in touch with him. Subscribe to his podcast. And be sure to purchase his journal and start learning all about the “God Centered Concepts” that he specializes in. Amen!
Do it right now before you forget about it later. Amen!
Scott, thank you, again, for taking the time to on the program and share all this information with us. I do appreciate it.
Folks, that is all the time we have for today. For Scott Wright and myself, this is Pastor Bob reminding you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!

Healing Hearts Cyndy BartelliWhen someone becomes “born again,” it is natural to wonder, “Am I really forgiven?” The memories of some of the things we did continue to haunt us and it just makes us “wonder.” I know I can’t be the only one that has had those thoughts. Amen!
Our guest today is Cyndy Bartelli. She was on previously and we discussed her book, “The Heart Healer: God’s Response to Personal Prayer in a Hurting World.” This book has helped many people to bring a new level of Hope into their lives. She also published a study guide that goes along with the book.
If you missed our prior interview, go back to the archives and look up her name or just go to episode 1336 and get caught up! Amen!
Because today, I invited her back on the program so we can talk some more about this great book, instead of just a summary, I thought we could do sort of a “deep dive” into some of things she shared. Amen!
Help me welcome back to the program, Cyndy Bartelli! Cyndy, it’s so good to have you back on the show today!
For those that may have missed our prior episode, can you share with us, in your own words, “Who is Cyndy Bartelli?”
You first published this book back in 2017. What inspired you to write this book and what was your intent in publishing it at that time?
Since publishing your book, “The Heart Healer,” what kind of feedback have you received on the lives it has touched?
I know you are touching people’s hearts and lives all of the time. This book has helped you to bring healing to so many people. What makes you continue to “keep on keeping on” in this area of ministry?
I know you have some stories from the testimonials you have received. Can you share a few of those stories with us? Leaving out personal identifiable information of course…
Share with us about Vertical Hearts, your non-profit…
I understand you have a special announcement on sharing more stories about heart healing… what would you like to share?
How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “The Heart Healer: God’s Response to Personal Prayer in a Hurting World?” Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to reach out to you with a question or to obtain more information on this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, it is so hard to do things by yourself. We were never meant to “go it alone.” That’s one reason why we have the Holy Spirit present in our lives. So we are never alone. We are always connected to God. We have Jesus in our hearts and the Holy Spirit with us. Amen!
That takes care of our Spiritual awareness… but sometimes, as I started the broadcast today, we just keep dredging up past memories. Those memories try to hold us back.
Cyndy Bartelli has made it her life mission to help YOU break those bonds that are holding you back, with the help of the Lord, of course! You need to check out her non-profit, Vertical Hearts and help in this great cause, too!
Whether you are the one struggling or you know of someone, a family member, spouse, friend, etc… you need to get a copy of her book, if you have not done so already! Amen!
I urge you to drop down into the show notes below and click the links right there. Get in touch with Cyndy. Get the information on joining her non-profit, Vertical Hearts. Order her book, “The Heart Healer: God’s Response to Personal Prayer in a Hurting World.” Do it right now, while you’re thinking about it. Amen!

Idolatry in Today’s Churches TS Wright pt 2Now, if you’ve been listening recently, you’ve heard several session with our guest today, TS Wright. We’ve done a deep dive on Revelation and the “7 Church Ages.” If you missed any of those episodes, go look them up in our archives. On our last episode, we learned the possible significance of the year 2038 – and what that could mean.
Today, we are going to discuss something that, I believe is very needful. It is also something that will probably make a lot of church pastors very upset. Maybe even mad. But that’s OK. If you’ve been following me for any length of time, you know I say things that tend to slap pastor’s upside the head with the Word of God. I get told I’m “stepping on toes” with some of the teachings we do. That’s OK, too. If you don’t want your toes stepped on, don’t stick out there where I can jump on them. Amen! Sometimes, people just get plain mad. That’s OK, too. They got mad at Jesus and He just kept on keeping on. Amen! Some get mad – but others wake up. Hopefully, you’re in the second group today. Amen!
But, fair warning…Today is going to be “one of those days.” Praise God.
Scott Wright is back with us today. Scott has been teaching us about the different ages of the Church and significant things the Bible and history has to say about them.
Scott is helping us to understand each of the different ages of the Church and why they are so significant – especially as we look at the modern day church age with all the societal problems we are facing today.
Scott is also a podcaster and has a truly great podcast called, “The God Centered Concept,” as well. You really need to listen – and subscribe – to his podcast. Amen!
He has also published a journal called, “God Centered Concept Journal: Making God’s Word My Ways.”
Today is part two and the conclusion of this great interview!We’ve heard for years and years about the “Final Harvest of Souls.” About the “Next Great Awakening.” And about the “End time harvest.” Is that something we should focus on? It’s been taught for decades and this society has grown more and more distant from anything that truly resembles a “Christian based society.”
We’ve gone into detail discussing all seven of the Church Ages. But you believe that we have aspects of each and every church age on display right now – in our day and time. Can you expound on that for us?
Scott, this has been fascinating.
What will we be talking about next time?
Share with us how someone can reach out to you and get more information on this?
And your book, “God Centered Concept Journal: Making God’s Word My Ways.”
How can someone obtain a copy of your book? Is it on Amazon?
Before we close, share again about your podcast…The God Centered Concept
Folks, there is no doubt that we are living in what Jesus and historical Christian scholars have called, “The End Times.” We are working our way through each of the Church Ages in order to give you a more thorough understanding of how all this fits into what we are witnessing, right now, all around us.
We should not be in a state of fear and trepidation. NO! We need to be excited! We need to be thanking GOD for the day and time in which we live…
Drop down into the show notes, reach out to Scott and be sure to order a copy of his book, “God Centered Concept Journal: Making God’s Word My Ways.”
I want to leave with this thought… as you witness all these things happening around us, don’t be filled with fear, but Faith. And, “Look up! For your redemption is drawing near.”

We realize the teachings of the Bible were oriented towards the Jewish culture. Many of the parables Jesus told we cannot really comprehend unless we view them through the lens of the Jewish culture. But then, after the conversion of Saul to Paul – he was communicating in the most popular language at the time, Greek. Can you share with us some of the difficulties in comparing the Jewish culture to the Greek culture and to what our culture is today? Especially as it relates to the different church ages…
You say “attachment and idolatry” is one of the major things happening in today’s church age. What do you mean by that and how can it be overcome?

Using Quantum Reality for Success John Jay McKey pt 2What is success? Many people may define it financially, others politically. Still others as contentment. But – what is it really?
If you are like about 100% of the other people in this world, you’ve had plans go awry. You’ve had some major setbacks. You’ve had things turn out completely different from your goals were going in!
Is this because you did something wrong? Is this because the world was stacking the odds against you? Not all the time – no.
So, how do we define success? To answer that question, our guest today says that “great personal growth only comes as a result of great challenge in our lives.”
For 28 years John Jay McKey has been a student of success, building and leading data analysis teams at a Big Four firm, with a Fortune 100 corporation, and also at the Office of Inspector General in Washington, DC. While commuting from Chicago to Washington D.C. to work for the OIG, Jay had an epiphany that uncovered the underpinning of all success.
This epiphany then led to the writing of his book. “Leverage the Field for Success: Using Quantum Reality to Succeed in the Corporate World,” which details how to use the core dynamics of the quantum energy field (expansion and balance) to achieve higher levels of success.
You say the “only constant in the world is change.” Based upon what we just talked about with “The Field, Expansion and Balance,” if change is the constant – would you define the other three as variables in this equation?
Let me see if I got this right… basically, life throws us lemons to see if we will make lemonade?”
You asked, prior to the recording, if there was a time in my life where everything was turned upside down, but ended up being one of the biggest turning points in my life…
Let me define that time for you…
Is this what you are talking about in your book?
I also took your quiz on your website and emailed you the results…
Can you go over the results for us, here on the interview, so our listeners can hear how the “Quantum Field for Success” works – especially in the business or corporate world?
What do you hope to accomplish with this book?
John, this has truly been an interesting conversation. Your book sounds like something everyone needs to get into their hands. How can someone obtain a copy of your book? Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or receive more information or possibly to do an interview such as this… how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the shown notes below…
Folks, as believers, we know God is control. Despite our best efforts sometimes to control things ourself – God is ultimately in control. Amen!
But, just as he created the universe and all that is… he created “Quantum” everything! Physics, math, even the “Quantum Field” as described by John Jay McKey. Amen!
In this book, John actually provides the pragmatic “how to’s” of using “the Field” to better your career advantages. Whether that means defining stronger progress in an individual career, or raising the bar for an entire team or business that you are in charge of. You can find something in here that is going to help you. Amen!
What John is bringing to the table is a way for you to conceptualize and “tap into” the “Field” (as he calls it) to help you learn things and grow BEYOND what you thought was possible!
I urge you to drop down into the show notes and reach out to John. Go to his website and take the quiz. Read over the results and see if that does not match up with “you!” Amen!
Be sure to order his great book, “Leverage the Field for Success: Using Quantum Reality to Succeed in the Corporate World.” Amen!
Just click the links right there and do this now – while you are thinking about it…
Remember, the “Field” has brought you across this podcast for “such a time a this.” Amen! Take advantage of it right now. Glory to God.
You never know how God is going to use this to take you to the next level – where He wanted you to be all along! Amen!
John, thank you for taking the time to come on the program today and talk about all of this and about your great book. I do appreciate it!

10 Prophetic Values James LevesqueWith all of the turmoil we see happening all around us right now, it more important than ever before for believers to know and hear the voice of God. It is so important for us to be able to discern His voice as we prepare for the soon return of Jesus in these final days. Amen!
Today’s guest is the perfect person to help us gain a better understanding of this. I know you’ll be blessed because he has also authored a great book discussing this exact thing. Amen! The book is titled, “10 Prophetic Values for Today.” We will be going over some highlights from this book as we get further along into the interview. Amen!
James Levesque is an author, church planter, and international speaker. He is also the founder and lead pastor of a network of Engaging Heaven churches across North America. Widely regarded as some of the emerging apostolic champions of revival and awakening in the United States and beyond, James and his wife, Debbie, are passionate about seeing lives transformed through Jesus Christ.
Pastor Levesque also hosts the popular daily Fulfill My Destiny Podcast and is the host of various TV shows, including Breaking Through with James Levesque and Love Living Lifeon CTN. Together, Pastor James and his wife Debbie live in Clearwater, Florida with their three children, Isaac, Luke, and Amayah.
I had the blessing of having Pastor Levesque on our podcast way back in December of 2018. Episode #405… amen!
It is a blessing and an honor to welcome back a great man of God, Pastor James Levesque! Pastor, thank you for coming back on the program today!
Episode #405, Pastor! That was almost 1000 episodes ago! Praise God!
I just want to take a minute and catch up. I believe our audience will enjoy this…
I’m not expecting you to remember this, but I went back and did some research. We first connected on Facebook back in October or November of 2018. I had made a post asking if anyone had any questions or needed help in launching a podcast. You responded because you were just in the process of launching “Engaging Heaven Today” podcast. This is a daily podcast, so how many episodes are you up to now with your podcast?
Praise God! And folks, you need to listen and to subscribe to his podcast. It is upbeat, energetic and if you listen every morning – it will FIRE YOU UP for the day! Amen!
Pastor, last time we talked, you were living in the New London, CT area. Now you’re in Florida. Do you still have that infamous building in New London as your church? Can you tell us about the history of that building and why it is so significant?
Naturally, it’s been upgraded over the last hundred years or so… but the structural foundation is still intact? And you’ve found some interesting things over the years… like George Washington Carver’s initials carved into a wall and things like that?
Praise God for your growth over the last five years or so. Last time we talked, I believe you were only in two locations. But you are now in four locations around the country?
Let’s jump into some current events and discuss your latest book. Amen?
There is no doubt that we live in a very pivotal moment in history. It seems the world is tumbling out of control into deeper and deeper darkness. Something happened to you in December 2020. Can you explain what happened and what God was showing to do?
You share that, within the prophetic movement, there are extreme credibility issues. This is causing believers to become disillusioned, frustrated and unsure of whom they should trust.
What is the importance of Proverbs 18:21 for us today?
Yet, you say that God is speaking even more clearly now than ever before, if only we are able to listen. Can you explain this for us?
Let me ask you… why did you write this book and why publish it at such a time as this?
What are some of the prophetic values you outline in your book?
You share that hearing God’s voice is something every believer can “learn.” How can we begin tuning into God’s voice? Is there some way they can position themselves to hear Him more clearly and frequently?
Give us a couple more of the prophetic values you outline in your book…
If each person begins to tap deeper into the prophetic, will that clash with some church pastors and leadership that may not be hearing God’s prophetic as clearly some may believe?
Pastor, this has been so interesting. How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “10 Prophetic Values for Today?” Is it on Amazon?
I’m so blessed that you reached out to come back on the program with me today. If someone has a question or would like to reach out for more information, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below…
Folks, there are a lot of issues going on in the world right now. In addition to the “wars and rumors of wars” and all the other signs in Mathew 24… we have severe societal issues right now as well. In addition to rampant crime sweeping the nation, there is issues with increase in suicides, depression, drug use. You name it and it is happening now, at a pace and a level that has never been seen before.
There is no doubt we are living, in what the Bible describes as, “The Last Days.”
But there is no need to fear. Fear is of the devil, not God.
What we need to do is “tune into God” on a deeper, more frequent level. Amen! Don’t shout me down when I’m preaching good! Praise God!
In these unprecedented times, His voice must be our guide, and His Word must be our lamp. And as you follow where He leads, you will speak peace to the enemy's storms and be the light the world so desperately needs.
Pastor James Levesque’s book, “10 Prophetic Values” will help you to do just that. Amen!
Drop down into the show notes below. Click the links right there and order your copy of “10 Prophetic Values” right now. Do it while you are thinking about it. Amen! You know as well as I do that the devil does not want you to read this book. So do the opposite of what he wants and do what God wants! Order this book and LEARN how to draw closer to God. Amen! Praise God!
Pastor, I want to thank you, again, for coming on the program today, catching up with us and sharing all about your latest book, “10 Prophetic Values.” I do appreciate it.

A New Perspective on Your Business Kerry Bass pt 2When it comes to sharing your Faith, sometimes it can be difficult if you are in a business situation or at a business meeting.
How will people react? How little or how much should I share? Is it OK to mention the Name of Jesus?
These are just a few of the things that could be crossing your mind as you discuss business, ethics or whatever the meeting is about.
What about that terrible word: CHANGE?
Some organizations embrace it. Most employees want to avoid it! Amen! Don’t shout me down when I’m preaching good!
Whether you're a business leader, a change management professional, or simply someone intrigued by the intersection of society, technology and faith, I can guarantee you are going to get a lot of valuable information for today’s interview. Amen!

Today is part TWO and the conclusion, of this great interview with Kerry Bass!Is AI something business owners need to embrace or shun?What is something you caution business leaders to watch out for when adopting AI in their business?I want to talk about, as I alluded to in the opening, is the Christian Faith in the organizational culture today. Is that something that is growing or diminishing in the companies that you have gone in to help?Do you see the value of integrity as something that helps Christian business leaders influence the office culture and those who they are working with at their company?Kerry, this has been so interesting. As we get ready to close, I want to ask you to provide our listeners some insight as to what you could potentially bring to their organizations if they would reach out to you with an inquiry?If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or maybe perhaps to do an interview such as this… how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below…Folks, technology is here to stay. What you may have thought as “top shelf technology” three years ago – well, today – it’s possibly obsolete. You need to adapt to the times to stay competitive with (if not ahead of) your competition.

First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief in formation I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Kerry Bass?”
How did you get started in the type of consulting business you now operate?
Is it true that, in order to effectively change an organization, you need to bring a change to the people? Does that mean, “Change the People” as in the leadership? Or changing the attitudes and perspectives of the people making up the organization?
Lee Iacoca example with Chrysler – Change the People…
How often do you run into the attitude of “But this is always the way we’ve done it…”
I remember studying about Henry Ford and the assembly line. At first, it was debunked… but when he started turning out better cars and at a faster pace than the competitors, suddenly – everyone wanted to build an assembly line. And not just automobile plants either!
Is this kind of how AI is shaking up the business landscape right now? Something that’s new, innovative – but that just about every organization will have to adapt or be left behind?
Is AI something business owners need to embrace or shun?
What is something you caution business leaders to watch out for when adopting AI in their business?I encourage you to reach out to Kerry L. Bass and his team. Ask a question. Perhaps this will be the first step to the transformation of your business that you’ve been wanting to see. But you will not know unless you reach out.

Preparing Your Son for Every Man’s Battle Fred Stoeker pt 2Fred’s ministry is to help men get free from sexual sin and then teach their children how to remain free. His book, “Preparing Your Son for Every Man’s Battle” is actually a book about teaching both, sons and daughters, how to win this battle.
There is a 10-chapter “Parent’s Section” that is designed to teach mothers and fathers how to connect with their kids on this topic. And this is a topic that, if you are in the trenches with teenagers right now, you know that you know this is needful in this day and time. Amen!
What are some of, what you call, the “rules of the game” that we should be aware of when discussing this subject with our children?
Fred shares a couple of stories that helps us to understand the importance of discussing these sensitive subjects with you children…
In your book, you share a section called, “Treat her like your sister.” Explain that for us..
You share a lot of great information in the section of “They Eyes Have It.” Can you talk a bit about this part of the transformation from boyhood to manhood as it relates to what we are discussing?
As you were going through these steps with your children, how did they respond as the next child, son or daughter, was being led to “grandma’s room?” Was there any teasing or things like that between siblings?
How did this help your relationships once they left home?
Fred, this has been so interesting. How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “Preparing Your Son for Every Man’s Battle?” Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or get more information – or possibly to do an interview like this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put the links to all of this down in the show notes below.
Folks, Fred has been on this program a few times, sharing absolutely valuable, Godly information on marriage, manhood and family and some of the trials, tests and problems men (and women as well) face in this day and time we are living in right now.
I urge you to drop down into the show notes and click the links right there to get in touch with Fred Stoeker. Check out his website – it has a lot of valuable information right there at your fingertips on this and other subject matter related to it. Amen!
I’ll put the links to a few of Fred’s other books in the show notes as well. You definitely need to order your copy of this book, “Preparing Your Son for Every Man’s Battle,” if you have a school age son. I also recommend you pick up one or all of the books we’ve covered so far as well. These books will help to make sure you have a Godly marriage that is hugely successful in avoiding a lot of the pitfalls of pornography and other things that the devil is using to trip up even well meaning Christians in this day and time.
Fred, thank you, again, for coming back on the program today. I look forward to our next interview.
Folks, that is all the time we have for today. For Fred Stoeker and myself, this is Pastor Bob reminding you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!

Preparing Your Son for Every Man’s Battle Fred Stoeker pt 1Fred’s ministry is to help men get free from sexual sin and then teach their children how to remain free. His book, “Preparing Your Son for Every Man’s Battle” is actually a book about teaching both, sons and daughters, how to win this battle.
There is a 10-chapter “Parent’s Section” that is designed to teach mothers and fathers how to connect with their kids on this topic. And this is a topic that, if you are in the trenches with teenagers right now, you know that you know this is needful in this day and time. Amen!
To discuss all of this, help me welcome to the program, our good friend, Fred Stoeker! Fred, it is so good to have you back on the program today.
Other than that brief information I just shared, and for the sake of those that may not have heard our prior interviews, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Fred Stoeker?”
Your book, “Preparing Your Son for Every Man’s Battle,” was first published back in 2010. But it is just as valid today as the day it was first released, correct?
As I was going through and preparing for our interview, I noticed you use some sports metaphors to relate the importance of properly preparing our kids for this phase of their life. That transition period through puberty and beyond.
For example, you shared how you came in last place in a 440 relay and how that affected you. Can you discuss how we can use these metaphors to help understand the topic of preparing our sons for this sexual battle they are about to endure?
Can this book be used if it’s just mom raising the boy and dad is out of the picture?
I like the analogy you use about a football game to describe raising your kids between the first half and the second half…ages 1-11 and 12 and beyond. Can you share about the “imaginary audience” that young teens feel is always watching them at that second stage.?
What are some of, what you call, the “rules of the game” that we should be aware of when discussing this subject with our children?
Fred shares a couple of stories that helps us to understand the importance of discussing these sensitive subjects with you children…
Folks, Fred has been on this program a few times, sharing absolutely valuable, Godly information on marriage, manhood and family and some of the trials, tests and problems men (and women as well) face in this day and time we are living in right now.
I urge you to drop down into the show notes and click the links right there to get in touch with Fred Stoeker. Check out his website – it has a lot of valuable information right there at your fingertips on this and other subject matter related to it. Amen!

Educational Debt Cancellation Foundation Dr. Jennoa GrahamWe have all seen the news recently with the government trying to figure out how to help struggling college graduates to pay their student loans. Part of the issue has been the ease with which students can obtain loans, sometimes totaling tens of thousands of dollars – or more!
The belief is they will be able to find a great job with a degree and pay it off. But in many cases, that is not the case.
Loans need to be repaid. If not, your credit ratings will suffer – and that just adds to the burden graduates face as they are trying to establish their lives after college.
Adding to the burdensome brew are predatory lenders and universities that are disingenuous with students and their ability to repay student loans. Moreover, politicians continually make promises to relieve the burden of educational indebtedness. They have not.
Single parents are especially vulnerable. Whether their circumstances result from divided families, death, a growing hope for the future, or the lack of a clear plan, the burden is a barometer and is usually a sign of serious storms ahead. Yet, there are things that single parents can do.
That is where our guest today comes in. Praise God!
Dr. Jennoa Graham is a professor with the University System of Georgia, teaching leadership, organizational behavior, HR Management and other business courses. But life was not always all “sunshine and roses” for her…
She struggled as a single parent who made the decision to improve her life by attending college. As most students will, she took out student loans to do so. I’ll let her tell her story…
But after what she experienced, she decided to help others out so they would not have to struggle as much as she did.
She founded the “Educational Debt Cancellation Fund,” which is an IRS approved 501-c-3 formed specifically to reduce the accumulated student loan debt of over $1.5 TRILLION!
It is the vision of Dr. Graham to heighten awareness of student loan debt and eliminate Economic Disaster in all communities by “Breaking the bondage of educational debt.” The mission of the EDCF has started by helping single mothers who are struggling to repay education debt while providing for their children.
Dr. Graham is also an active community leader, speaking domestically and internationally on a variety of topics for Academic Conferences, Business Conferences, Financial Workshops, Christian Radio, and online Podcasts.
She is also an author of a great book, “Cyanidation: The Refinement of My Life.” It is her memoir and is available on Amazon.
To give us more information on all of this, help me welcome to the program, Dr. Jennoa Graham! Dr. Graham, it is a blessing to have you join us today. I do appreciate your time.
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Jennoa Graham?
Let’s go back to the beginning. You’re a single mom trying to “make it” in the world. But one morning, in the winter, you made a decision of “No more frozen tears.” Can you explain that situation for us?
What made you decide to start this non-profit and try to tackle a $1.5 TRILLION dollar debt?
How do you go about raising the funds for this project?
How has your organization helped struggling students thus far?
What is one of the most important counseling pieces of advice you give prospective students BEFORE they start college?
After graduation, how long does your average client wait before they seek out your services? Are they already falling behind on their student loan payments?
Let me ask you this, do you believe the higher institutions of learning (colleges and universities) have a responsibility in this mess? They are the ones who are charging these outrageous fees, etc.?
Should the government or the colleges make it a little harder for students to obtain student loans?
You want your clients to “persevere” through these issues. How do you encourage them to do that?
You are raising funds for your project from a variety of places. Give us a few ideas on how someone listening to us can help and become involved in bringing help to someone in need like this…
You also have an organization called, “Utilitarian Financial Consulting.” Share with us some of the work this organization does…
What kind of success stories are your receiving?
Dr. Graham, this is so interesting. As I said in the beginning, it is so needful as well. If someone wanted to get more information, ask a question or possibly do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
And you also do speaking at events, churches, etc., correct?
Tell us about your book, “Cyanidation: The Refinement of My Life.” Why did you write this book and what are you hoping to accomplish through the book?
It’s available on Amazon, correct?
Before we close, tell us about your other name: Dr. GNP. What does it mean?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, as we said, student debt is a NATIONAL problem. It is something that has no easy solutions. It is something that is going to plague individuals for decades to come. SOMETHING has to be done.
Dr. Jennoa Graham (or Dr. GNP!) is just taking the first steps to helping bring a solution to this crisis. You can help, as you heard her describe a moment ago. I urge you to drop down into the show notes and click the links right there. Reach out to her. Reach out and become involved.
If you or someone you know, perhaps a son, daughter, grand-child, neighbor, co-worker, etc., is struggling with student loan debt, reach out as well and see what services you can find that may help you. Amen!
Be sure to click the link and purchase a copy of her book, “Cyanidation: The Refinement of My Life” Amen! This book is not just another memoir or overcomer story. This book describes the pivotal role of religion and relationships play in your life. Through self-discovery, building self-confidence and trust. Understanding all of this is valuable to your future. You need to order this book today! Amen!
Dr. Graham, I do appreciate your time today in sharing all about this great work you are doing. Thank you for coming on the program.
Folks, that is all the time we have for today. For Dr. Jennoa Graham and myself, this is Pastor Bob reminding you TO BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!

The Mission 2038 TS Wright pt 2You’ve heard me say over and over and over again, that the soon return of Jesus is about to happen. And I’ll continue to say it over and over and over again, too. Amen!
Folks, can there be any doubt? Look at what is happening all around us!
Everything Jesus talked about in Mathew 24 is happening – right now!
Now, if you’ve been listening recently, you’ve heard several session with our guest today, TS Wright. We’ve done a deep dive on Revelation and the “7 Church Ages.” If you missed any of those episode, go look them up in our archives.
Today, we are going to discuss something even more exciting… the year 2038. And to do that, help me welcome to the program, Scott Wright!
I’ve been saying for years that the governments of the world would attribute the Rapture of billions of people – to extra-terrestrials. They would say something like, “They took out those folks that were impeding our efforts to bring unity and utopia” or things like that…
But, in order for that to happen, first they have to get us to accept their existence. That way, they have something to blame.
Whether they exist or not is not the argument. If you ask my personal opinion, I would venture to guess YES, they probably do exist. But, like when someone asked Billy Graham what he thought about ET, he replied, “I don’t know if they do or not. But if they do exist, Jesus is still their Savior.” Amen!
So, I’ll just leave it at that.
But what do you think of all this talk about ET and the government, first the cover up and now their “unofficial recognition” that we may not be alone – and how all of that could play into the end time scenario?
Think about this… the Bible says, “All the armies of the world, come out against Jesus.”
Could it be, and I’m just throwing this out there as a hypothesis of sorts, that they label Jesus as an ET, just to create the “one world order” to try and fight him?
What better reason to unite a one world government than if we are “protecting our world” from an invasion by ET? The writers of the Bible would have no clue what an ET was?
Huge “Tetrad in 2044” – that could be a date that coordinates the end time scenario.
Scott lays out an interesting timeline that takes us from NOW (2023) to 2044 and 2050 that provides several possible scenarios that lead us to culmination of 7000 years human history!
Scott gives a calling to “The Church” to fulfill our calling and to “let the Great Harvest” begin!
Pastor Bob gives a prayer of Salvation for those that are ready to receive it…
Scott shares that next time, we will discuss the importance of the “Great Harvest” mentality.

Today, we are going to discuss something even more exciting… the year 2038. And to do that, help me welcome to the program, Scott Wright!
Scott, we’ve been looking at each of the “Seven Ages of the Church,” so let’s kind of sum up all of the sessions we’ve had. What is the significance of understanding the “Seven Ages of the Churches?”
So, that leaves us where, exactly?
From your research, what does it look like from now until the end of this age of the church?
Let me get your opinion on this…
At the time of this recording, the United States Congress has just held hearings on the existence of extra-terrestrials. You can’t make this stuff up!
I’ve been saying for years that the governments of the world would attribute the Rapture of billions of people – to extra-terrestrials. They would say something like, “They took out those folks that were impeding our efforts to bring unity and utopia” or things like that…

Healing Rain Sue Detweiler pt 2Are you tired of encountering walls of resistance on your path to healing? If you are, know that you are not alone. Many believers face the trenches of despair and sickness, feeling trapped and powerless in their circumstances.
Throughout my experiences over the last 30 years and through the stories shared by many people I’ve interviewed over the last few years on this podcast, I have witnessed the incredible wisdom and life-changing power of divine healing over and over again.
I've seen hearts mended, bodies restored, and lives forever transformed by the miraculous touch of Jesus.
Divine healing is not a far-fetched concept reserved for a select few; it is a reality available to every believer. The redeeming force of Christ’s sacrifice knows no bounds, and through understanding and embracing this truth, you can walk confidently toward complete restoration.
To help explain this even further, we are blessed to have as our guest today, Sue Detweiler. Sue is a pioneer woman pastor who began preaching at the age of 19. She and her husband, Wayne, planted and co-pastored their first church at the age of 22.
She has a strong prophetic teaching gift, and has equipped men and women to become pastors, evangelists, and missionaries to the nations. She is an in demand international speaker and travels to Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
She is a recognized member of Randy Clark’s Global Awakening Network and Apostle Guillermo Maldonado’s Supernatural Global Network. She has been recognized with the highest recognition from the president of the Foursquare Church, Jack Hayford, for leading “Life School of Ministry,” a three-year Bible training institute in Nashville.
Her latest book is “Healing Rain: Immersing Yourself in Christ’s Love to Find Wholeness of Mind, Body, and Heart” – which we will also be discussing today. Amen!
Let’s shift gears a bit. I want to discuss your book, “Healing Rain.” This inspiration for this book came from your own health crisis while on a trip to Brazil. Can you share about that with us?
Why did you believe now is the right time to publish this book?
How did the Lord move upon your heart to take on this book project?
How many books have you written over the years?
You believe every believer should have a “healing team.” Explain what that is and why it is so important?
In your book, you have a story about a church in Brazil where the church members had someone praying around the clock, someone every 15 minutes, praying for the pastor’s wife and daughter. Can you tell us about that story and why it was included in your book?
There is probably someone listening to us right now who is struggling to receive their healing or they know someone who is struggling to receive their healing. What would you say to them right now, in their struggles?
Share with us about your podcast, “Healing Rain.” How long have you been podcasting?
It’s an interview based podcast?
How often to you publish a new episode?
Sue, this has all been so interesting. How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “Healing Rain: Immersing Yourself in Christ’s Love to Find Wholeness of Mind, Body, and Heart?” Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to reach out to you, to get more information, ask a question or perhaps do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, do you continue to hit walls of resistance as you pursue healing? Sue Detweiler, prophet and host of the popular Healing Rain podcast, and author of the great book, “Healing Rain: Immersing Yourself in Christ’s Love to Find Wholeness of Mind, Body, and Heart” has helped thousands of believers move from the trenches of despair and sickness into the fields of freedom--and she wants to empower you, too.Full of wisdom, incredible testimonies, discussion questions, prayers, and keys to healing, this book will point you to the words, actions, and miracles of Jesus, giving you the confidence to trust His presence and discover how to:
-
- overcome trauma and destructive thoughts·
- open pathways to spiritual encounters with Jesus
- receive the power of His blood to heal every area of your life
- and more
I urge you to drop down into the show notes and click the link right there to order your own copy of “Healing Rain.”Amen! You never know WHEN you will need this information. Speaking from my own experience, you will not have time to “find out the information” when you are faced with a life and death situation.
Get this book NOW, while you are thinking about it. In fact, I’d recommend you order two or three copies. Give one to someone you care about. Give one to your pastor, Praise God! But, whatever you do – get your copy right now – but dropping down into the show notes and clicking the link right there. Amen!

ChristiTutionalist Politics Joseph M. LenardYou can’t help but see the division of the United States happening right before our very eyes. Right versus left. Democrat versus Republican. Black versus White versus Hispanic versus Asian.
It’s in the news every day. It’s happening in the streets every night. It’s dividing households and families. It’s creating havoc in work places and it’s tearing the very fabric of our democracy apart at the seams.
So, the question is: “What do we do about it?”
This nation was founded on the Judeo-Christian standards of morality and law. Our Constitution was formed and ratified to keep the power in the hands of the people. Not through a majority vote, but through a representative government.
But now, we see that the so called “leaders” of this land, at all levels of government, are not there to represent the people, per se… but to line their own pockets at the expense of the people.
Jesus famously said, “If a nation is divided against itself, it will not stand.”
Abraham Lincoln said that “All the armies of Europe and Asia could not, by force, take a drink of water from the Ohio River or make a track on the Blue Ridge mountains. But if destruction be our lot, we ourselves will be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men, we will live forever or die by suicide.”
I believe this nation is standing in the middle of the town square, right now, via our political and ideological differences, with the pistol at our temples and playing “Russian Roulette.”
Unless someone intervenes and brings some sense back to the population as a whole, this nation will soon surrender to the Chinese first and then to the Russians as we are divided up for their taking…
But, to help spur this country forward, one man is coining a phrase that will soon be heard around the country. That phrase is “ChristiTutionalist.” Amen! (CHRIST eh Tutionalist). You’ve heard of “Constitutionalist” – just say, CHRIST as the first part and “Tutionalist” as the last part. Amen!
Joseph M. Lenard has been on our program before. He’s and author and speaker and political activist and has been involved in politics up in Michigan since 1978. He’s the author of “Terror Strikes: Coming Soon to a City Near You,” as well as his most recent book, “ChristiTutionalist Politics: Christian Based Constitutionalism.”
Help me welcome to the program, Joseph M. Lenard.
Joseph, it is so good to have you back on the program, brother!
Talk to us a minute about the reason WHY you decided to write “ChristiTutionalist Politics” right now, at this point in time?
Who is the intended audience for this book?
You have a saying, “Principles Not Personalities.” Explain that for us…
Can you share with us the view of “The Separation of Church and State” that is always being floated around these days by those who don’t believe in Biblical values – and the true meaning of that statement?
Ronald Reagan called this nation, “A shining city on a hill.” I’d say that the light has gone out or has faded a great deal. What can revive this country to its once former brightness?
You also have a podcast by the same name, “ChristiTutionalist Politics,” correct? Share a little about your podcast with us…
Your book, “ChristiTutionalist Politics: Christian Based Constitutionalism” is available on Amazon, correct?
How can someone listen to your podcast?
Joseph, this is truly needful in this day and time. If someone wants to get more information on “ChristiTutionalist Politics” or to ask a question or get in touch with you, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, as we started this program today, you heard the dire straits this nation is in. We are literally, between a “rock and hard place” right now. I’d like to put it like this: “We are between THE ROCK – Jesus – and a hard place – Hell – right now… as a nation.”
It’s time for ordinary American’s to join together and put an end to this destruction of the moral fabric of our society. God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve or Adam who wanted to be Eve. Amen. Don’t shout me down when I’m preaching good. Amen.
Our Declaration of Independence says it best, “All men are created equal.” Period.
But we need to band together and put a stop to this immorality that is now running the land. We need to put a stop to the 1%-2% of the population who is forcing their view on the 98% who think they are wrong. And the ONLY way to do that is to band together, as Joseph M. Lenard has shared, and becoming voters who share Biblical Values and join him under his “ChristiTutionalist” banner. Amen!
Drop down into the show notes and get in touch with Joseph today. Click the links below to do that and be sure to order a copy of his book, “ChristiTutionalist Politics: Christian Based Constitutionalism” while you are there. Amen! Order two, three or more copies and spread them around to your friends and fellow believers. Glory to God. You never know what the Lord can do when just a few join together like this in a movement that is for His Glory! Amen!

Vanguard Veteran Kathy Gallowitz pt 2For those of you who have followed this program for a while, you’ve heard some of my stories from the military. In fact, just two and half years after leaving my military career, is when I came the decision to end my life. I had not meaning. I had not money. I was in a dead end job, etc. etc. etc.
If it had not been for that act if Divine intervention that night on January 29, 1992 at 11:35pm ET in that little empty apartment in Columbus, GA – on January 30th 1992, I would not have been here on this earth.
Leaving service is hard. A lot harder than I had imagined. I left service thinking, “I’m former Army Officer, I’ll find somebody that wants to hire me pretty quick.” There were almost NO systems in place back in July 1989 for transitioning veterans. None.
Even with the systems and resources that are in place today, we are still failing to help the many veterans who are transitioning from a life of meaning, order and familiarity – to one of uncertainty.
More than 2.6 million Americans have served in the Armed Forces since that tragic day of 9/11.
Almost 240 thousand military members leave active duty each and every year, ready to help companies and communities with their skill sets.
Retired Air Force Lt. Colonel Kathy Gallowitz has formed an absolutely essential organization called, “Vanguard Veterans.” She served 29 years in the Air Force as a nurse and also as a Public Affairs Officer. Through “Vanguard Veteran,” she equips civilians to become Veteran Champions as the “Veteran-Hiring Concierge,” a “Military Ministry Builder” and a “Fallen Comrades Ceremony Producer.”
She is also the author of “Beyond Thank You for Your Service: The Veteran Champion Handbook for Civilians.”
Most veterans are used to showing up on time, accomplishing assigned tasks in a timely manner, working over-time if necessary, among other things. Most veterans maintain these job skills even many years after they leave service. How do you help make companies aware of the positive job skills veterans bring with them to the job site?
Tell us about you “Military Ministry Builder” program…
Can you share about the importance of the “Fallen Comrades Ceremony?”
I know we are taught that, “It happens, say a prayer, pick and move out – the mission doesn’t stop.” Now, in a combat situation, yes, that makes sense. But this grief continues to affect people for many, many years after the event, correct?
How difficult is it for former military members to grieve properly?
Share with us about your book, “Beyond Thank You for Your Service: The Veteran Champion Handbook for Civilians.”Why did you write this book and why did you believe it was needful for such a time as this?
How can someone obtain a copy of this book? Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question, obtain more information on becoming a “Veteran Champion,” how can they do that? How can someone get more information?
I’ll put links to all this in the show notes below.
Folks, having served twelve years in the military and then transitioning to civilian life, I know, first hand, how difficult it is. It took me over twelve years of struggling – even contemplating – not contemplating, I had made the decision – to commit suicide. You’ve heard the story before, how God invaded my little empty room and through one scripture, changed my life forever. Psalm 34 verse 7, which says, “The Lord has heard this poor man cry and shall deliver him from all his troubles.” That one verse, changed my life forever.
Although it was only 2 ½ years since I left the active duty when that night happened, I still struggled for the next 10 years, until I found my calling as a police officer. That job gave me purpose again. I was born again from that night in January 1992. I even attended Bible School, was Ordained in 2001. I was a Chaplain for our department, etc. But the struggle was real for a very, very long time. I wish there was a program like this back then. There wasn’t – but there is now.
I urge you to drop down into the show notes and click the links there to reach out to Kathy. Get this information. If you are a pastor of a church, reach out – get this information to reach veterans in your community. This will help to grow your church, yes. But more than that – you will be reaching a very, very vulnerable, struggling segment of society. One that served this great nation and is now struggling to survive. Amen!
And be sure to order a copy of Kathy Gallowitz’ book, “Beyond Thank You for Your Service: The Veteran Champion Handbook for Civilians.” In fact, order two or three copies and pass them out. Give one to your pastor, one to your boss at work, one to whoever you may think would be able to help our military veterans. Amen! Do it now… while you are thinking about it.

Vanguard Veteran Kathy Gallowitz pt 1For those of you who have followed this program for a while, you’ve heard some of my stories from the military. In fact, just two and half years after leaving my military career, is when I came the decision to end my life. I had not meaning. I had not money. I was in a dead end job, etc. etc. etc.
If it had not been for that act if Divine intervention that night on January 29, 1992 at 11:35pm ET in that little empty apartment in Columbus, GA – on January 30th 1992, I would not have been here on this earth.
Leaving service is hard. A lot harder than I had imagined. I left service thinking, “I’m former Army Officer, I’ll find somebody that wants to hire me pretty quick.” There were almost NO systems in place back in July 1989 for transitioning veterans. None.
Even with the systems and resources that are in place today, we are still failing to help the many veterans who are transitioning from a life of meaning, order and familiarity – to one of uncertainty.
More than 2.6 million Americans have served in the Armed Forces since that tragic day of 9/11.
Almost 240 thousand military members leave active duty each and every year, ready to help companies and communities with their skill sets.
Retired Air Force Lt. Colonel Kathy Gallowitz has formed an absolutely essential organization called, “Vanguard Veterans.” She served 29 years in the Air Force as a nurse and also as a Public Affairs Officer. Through “Vanguard Veteran,” she equips civilians to become Veteran Champions as the “Veteran-Hiring Concierge,” a “Military Ministry Builder” and a “Fallen Comrades Ceremony Producer.”
She is also the author of “Beyond Thank You for Your Service: The Veteran Champion Handbook for Civilians.”
Help me welcome to the program, LTC (retired) Kathy Gallowitz. Kathy, thank you for taking the time to come on the program, I do appreciate it.
First question I always ask is this, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Kathy Gallowitz?”
What were you doing when 9-11 happened and how did it impact you?
You designed a never been done before, statewide outreach program in Ohio to help veterans. Tell us about that challenge and what it accomplished…
Share with us some of the positive attributes that Veterans can bring to a civilian company or agency?
Most veterans are used to showing up on time, accomplishing assigned tasks in a timely manner, working over-time if necessary, among other things. Most veterans maintain these job skills even many years after they leave service. How do you help make companies aware of the positive job skills veterans bring with them to the job site?
Tell us about you “Military Ministry Builder” program…

The Seventh Age of the Church TS Wright pt 3The Book of the Revelation, for some, bring ominous warnings and invokes fear. For believers, the opposite is true (at least for true believers…).
The hope that the soon return of Jesus is about to happen! We can see signs from the Book of the Revelation all around us today. We are living what the Bible depicts as the “end of days.” We are living it! Right now!
As I said, for believers – we should be getting excited! We also need to get busy! We need to be witnessing like never before! We need to sound the alarm as never before! We need to be warning everyone that the “end is near!”
Now, I would not go as far as to hold up a sign that says that on a city street corner (unless that is what he Lord has told you to do) – but we should be sharing the Gospel and relating it to end time events in an effort to show the world that the Bible is true and we are about to witness something spectacular!
Well, Scott Wright is back with us today. Scott has been teaching us about the different ages of the Church and significant things the Bible and history has to say about them.
If you missed any of the preceding episodes where we covered the Church Ages One through Six, go back to the archives and find them. You will be amazed at the information Scott Wright has been sharing with us thus far. Amen!
Scott is helping us to understand each of the different ages of the Church and why they are so significant – especially as we look at the modern day church age with all the societal problems we are facing today.
Today, we are going to be looking at the Seventh Age of the Church, as depicted in Revelation Chapter Three. This is part three and the conclusion of what turned out to be a great THREE part interview!
The political destruction of the monarchies happened – to be followed by the “roaring twenties!” When political power started to shift to the people (creating “Communism” and “Fascism” instead of monarchies. That brings us to the cause of WWII.
God worked to get Harry Truman into a position where God could use him to make two decisions that change the landscape forever of the world:
- Dropping the first atom bomb and
- Recognizing the Nation of Israel.
With the advent of technology, the spread of the Gospel starts to rapidly go around the world.
The Seventh Age of the Church is totally represented by the technology that encompasses our entire lives today.
The increase in immorality is the indicator that people have lost their understanding of their need for God. You can see that in Revelation 3:15-17 as Jesus condemns this generation!
Jesus is the “Way, the Truth and the Life” – and nobody comes to God but through Him!
How will this “Seventh Age of the Church” (which IS the age WE are living in) – will end?
Scott, this has been so interesting, as usual. If someone has a question or would like more information, or possibly they want to reach out to you do an interview such as this, how do they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, there is no doubt that we are living in what Jesus and historical Christian scholars have called, “The End Times.” We are working our way through each of the Church Ages in order to give you a more thorough understanding of how all this fits into what we are witnessing, right now, all around us.
Scott has a goal of launching this series on a large scale, reaching churches and organizations with this curriculum that will change their churches from simple institutions into a “movement.” Amen!
He is also a podcaster and has a truly great podcast called, “The God Centered Concept,” as well. You really need to listen – and subscribe – to his podcast. Amen!
He has also published a journal called, “God Centered Concept Journal: Making God’s Word My Ways.”

Today, we are going to be looking at the Seventh Age of the Church, as depicted in Revelation Chapter Three. This is part TWO of what turned out to be a THREE part interview!
The start of the Seventh Age of the Church really started with the shift from an agrarian society to the Industrial Age and living in urban environments?
Let’s be clear, Jesus is not returning during this Seventh Age of the Church – but immediately AFTER?
We talked about the “beginning” of the Seventh Age of the Church. What happens as it proceeds?
The “Industrial Age” actually helped WWI and WWII to happen. Every time a nation creates a “new weapon,” they want to use them.
WWI starts the shift from the “gentiles” back to the focus on the Jews. The signal is the “Balfour Declaration,” which gives land back to Israel.
The political destruction of the monarchies happened – to be followed by the “roaring twenties!” When political power started to shift to the people (creating “Communism” and “Fascism” instead of monarchies. That brings us to the cause of WWII.

OK… give us a recap of what we’ve talked about thus far and how it all leads up to our subject matter today…mainly, our relations to the Church of Laodicea…
What brings the Sixth Age of the Church to an end and what starts the Seventh Age of the Church?
Technological advances in transportation and communication and mass communication is the significant event that is in the Seventh Age of the Church?
So the coronation of Queen Victoria (and her marrying Prince Albert) is a turning point of the church?
Human rights become important and even results to war (the Civil War; WWI, WWII) that are all about human rights.
What was the cause of the power shift from monarchy to a representative government across the world?
The start of the Seventh Age of the Church really started with the shift from an agrarian society to the Industrial Age and living in urban environments?
Let’s be clear, Jesus is not returning during this Seventh Age of the Church – but immediately AFTER?
Folks, there is no doubt that we are living in what Jesus and historical Christian scholars have called, “The End Times.” We are working our way through each of the Church Ages in order to give you a more thorough understanding of how all this fits into what we are witnessing, right now, all around us.

Marketing Smarter Not Harder Marco Torres pt 2 Whether you are in ministry or retail; counseling or coaching; online sales or traditional retail – you are marketing. You are marketing your church, your ministry, your store, your products, your books. You are marketing your brand. You are marketing yourself in the process.
How well you handle this responsibility will determine your success.
I’ve seen pastors of churches, some that have been around for decades, still struggle to have 25 people in attendance on Sunday mornings. I’ve seen others set up in a coffee shop on Sunday morning and two years later are building a church building and paying cash for it. WHY?
The same thing can be said for someone working for themselves. In business, online or traditional. They may work for years, barely getting by. Someone else comes in and within a few months or so, they are the big player in town or in the niche online or whatever. WHY?
Well, it all revolves around marketing.
And to help us with understanding some of the nuances, is my guest today, Marco Torres.
Marco Torres is the Founder of MarketingBoost.com, he has helped thousands of business owners worldwide boost sales and scale their businesses by as much as 5-fold through the use of incentive-based marketing. He teaches entrepreneurs how to soar sales & marketing through the use of “Value-Add-Incentives” instead of discounts. His Facebook Group is home to more than 27,000 active business owners who are raking in sales with his advice and amazingly affordable subscription program.
I believe these concepts we will discuss today will apply, of course to businesses, coaching, etc., but it can also be applied to your ministry and church growth with just a few little tweaks.
Let me give a disclaimer here…I interviewed Marco about 18 months ago at the time of this recording… and I was so impressed by what he is doing, I signed up our ministry for this program we will be talking about today. Some of you may have seen us promote some trips or restaurant vouchers from time to time – and this is where it all started… a conversation with Marco Torres. Amen!
Today is part two (and the conclusion) of a great interview I recently had, with Marco Torres!
I speak to people every single day doing interviews. Almost every person has a lead magnet to draw people into their system, collect names and emails, etc. This type of system really would not work as a lead magnet… it would seem a bit incredulous if you were to give away a 5 night trip to Hawaii in exchange for opting into an email list. Am I right?
These incentives can be used by churches, etc. to raise funds. In fact, last time you were on, you shared a marvelous story of how someone used this to raise the money for a church. Can you explain how that worked?
These certificates, for the hotel stay and the restaurant discount vouchers – even the hotel discount vouchers – they are emailed to the client, correct?
Let’s say someone receives one of these vouchers. Is there an expiration date?
Is there a limit on the number of hotel trips or hotel discount voucher or restaurant vouchers a person can send out?
How do you incentivize them to give you a review about how their experience went?
Marco, this is so interesting. I could talk to you about this for hours

Help me welcome back to the program, my good friend, Marco Torres. Marco, it is so good to have you back with us today, brother!
For those that may not have heard our prior interview way back in episodes 1048 & 1049, can you share with us in your own words, “Who is Marco Torres?”
Most businesses, coaches, etc., will try to compete on price. But you have found a better way to help them through, what you call, “incentive based marketing.” Can you explain that for us?
How does “Marketing Boost” help businesses to use Value Added Incentives to keep their bottom line up instead of discounting and losing profits on their sales?
When we held a special event last year, I held a random drawing for 3 nights in Branson, MO. People who signed up for our live event could then earn additional draw points for sharing on social media, etc. Then we had a spread sheet that gave everyone their number of draws and we used a random number generator to select the winner. It worked really well. We had 40 or 50 people enter and with the shares, etc. we had somewhere near 300 chances for total for the random draw.
I know the answer to this next question, but I’m going to ask for the sake of our listeners because I know what they are...

Why do believe this was a “revolution?” Didn’t that happen already? We covered the invention of the printing press, Luther nailing the thesis to the church door, etc. What makes this a revolution?
Tell us about the important role that George Whitfield played in this Church Age and why you think he was so important…
What signified the end of this church age?
Next time, we will be talking about the all-important “Seventh Age of the Church.” What do we have to look forward to next time we get together?

Ok, give us a brief overview of the reason why we should be aware of the different ages of the Church. Why is this important for Christians today?
Last time, you shared that the “Fifth Age of the Church” ended with the 1st Great Awakening. It was also the longest church age, lasting almost 1000 years.
Let’s dive into the Sixth Church Age. If the Fifth Church Age ended with the 1st Great Awakening, that means the Sixth Church started there as well, correct?
How long did the Sixth Church Age last?
Why do you think it was so short as compared to the other ages of the church?
Why do believe this was a “revolution?” Didn’t that happen already? We covered the invention of the printing press, Luther nailing the thesis to the church door, etc. What makes this a revolution?
Tell us about the important role that George Whitfield played in this Church Age and why you think he was so important…

America in Therapy Phyllis LeavittAll you have to do is turn the news on at night and you will receive a dose of hopelessness, despair and a feeling helplessness. It’s all around us. All of the time.
The country and the society that we once knew is gone.
The goal of every generation prior to this one was to provide our children a better life than the one we had. To help them prepare for the future. To leave a legacy that will be a blessing to our posterity.
I believe, and this is just Pastor Bob speaking here, but I believe this is going to be the first generation where we are leaving behind something nobody wants. This is the first generation where we are actually leaving things worse than what we had – and nobody seems to care.
This is the first generation that is all about “me – right now” and not worried about tomorrow.
Our guest today is writing a book titled, “America in Therapy.” And do we need therapy right now – and a lot of it. Amen!
Phyllis Leavitt is the author of this book, “America in Therapy,” and she is here today to share insights about this book and to bring awareness of the urgency to bring our whole country into therapy. Amen!
Phyllis has a Masters Degree in Psychology and Counseling and has been in private practice for more than 30 years. She has authored two books, “A Light in the Darkness” and “Into the Fire.”
Help me welcome to the program, Phyllis Leavitt! Phyllis, it is such a blessing to have you join us today!
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Phyllis Leavitt?”
You believe that we, as a nation, are on a collision course with our own extinction. Why do you believe that?
So you are saying that we, as a nation, are suffering from psychological disfunction?
What can be done to turn this situation around?
We see a huge increase in violence across America. Shootings are happening every single day in our inner cities. On the news, here in Baltimore, every morning is a discussion of the four or five shootings that took place over night. Every single night. If there are no shootings on any particular night – THAT makes the headlines for the morning news. What can be done to turn the tide of violence that we see happening on an ever increasing level?
Do you really believe there is hope for this nation to turn from this cycle of violence and “me-me-me” that seems to be rampant in our society?
How will your book help us to do that?
When will your book be released?

Phyllis, this is so interesting. If someone has a question or would like to get more information, how can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, as you heard Phyllis share and you’ve probably heard me even discuss the terribly mindset of society today. It’s definitely the “ME” generation. It seems like society has turned against itself in some situations. It’s terrible. It’s also a sign that, without help – without some kind of Divine Intervention – our nation will not be around as we have known it – in very short order.
Phyllis has just shared some unique, professional insight into what is truly the root causes of our societal troubles. She has also outlined some possible solutions. But she can’t do it alone! Amen!
Drop down into the show notes and sign up for the pre-release order of her book, “America in Therapy.” Do it right now, while you are thinking about it. In fact, order two, three or more copies for people you know who could use this information to help sound the alarm. Order one for your pastor, your teen group pastor, etc.
You could be listening to us right now because God has a plan for YOU to one of the people that helps to initiate change in this country – right now! Imagine if He called 1000 people to purchase these books, with each ordering, let’s say, 5 copies – then distributing them all over the nation – to people of influence!
Imagine the impact that would make if, all of a sudden, there is the “Great American Re-Awakening” to what is wrong in society and how it can be fixed. Amen!
Drop down into the show notes and pre-order your copies of “America in Therapy” right now! Amen!
Phyllis, thank you for writing and publishing this book and taking a stand, not only against what we see happening, but offering some solutions as well. Praise God for all that you have done.
I do appreciate you taking the time to come on our program and share your message as well.
Folks, that is all the time we have for today. For Phyllis Leavitt and myself, this is Pastor Bob reminding you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!

The Magnetic Heart of God Cory Rosenke pt 2Have you ever considered why “people do the things they do?” Including yourself?
Have you ever pondered WHY you react certain ways in certain situations?
Have you ever asked the question “WHY” and truly, honestly, wanted to seek the answer?
Our guest today spent much of his childhood asking – and seeking – the answer to questions such as these. Ultimately, he discovered something that many people, Christians included, may miss as they run the rat race of life.
Cory Rosenke spent much of his childhood in the grip of poverty, isolation and homelessness. He would spend time wandering lonely mountain slopes with his dog, a walking stick and a book. His passion for reading, not just any book, but books written by Plato, Aristotle and icons like that, sparked his imagination but drove him to read more. He studied works by Freud, Plutarch and C.S. Lewis, just to name a few.
But then, he discovered the ultimate works, that introduced him to Jesus. Amen!
Over the course of time, Cory discovered, what he calls, “The Five Cravings of the Soul,” that have applied to all of humanity through life and time. He says, “God created these cravings within us – for the purpose of drawing us towards a connection with Him.” Amen!
Cory Rosenke is now an accomplished author, theologian, pastor and speaker. He is the author of a book that discusses these things, titled, “The Magnetic Heart of God: Understanding the Five Cravings of Your Soul.”
This is part two (and the conclusion) of a great, two part interview!
I think, before we get into your book, let’s lay a foundation first. Can you tell us HOW you discovered the proof that we, as individuals, actually have a soul?
In the beginning section of your book, you pose a unique question. So I want to bring this out first and get your opinion as we start. You share, “We live in a time of unprecedented prosperity. But yet, the collective emptiness is also unprecedented. How is this possible?” Could you share with us your perspective on this?
In the video I watched, “The Bad News of the Gospel,” explain for us the meaning of “The Gospel explains the Storm before the Calm,” which you shared? I thought that was really good.
You share that we seek fulfillment through “wealth, power and fame.” But what we discover, is that the inner sense of peace is missing when we think we achieve these things. Why is that?
Let’s get into the meat of the situation. You’ve identified the “5 Cravings of the Soul” as, “Security; Identity; Independence; Significance; Innocence.” You also relate these five cravings as being demonstrated in the Garden of Eden. I believe that gives us a clear understanding of the point you are trying to make. Could you elaborate on this for us so the audience will see what you are talking about in your book?
Let’s cover the first: Security. We all want security – to feel safe, in our life. Share a little about this need for our soul to experience a sense of security…
What about “Identity?” As believers, we identify as being created in the image of God… but is it that easy to convince our mind and heart?
The United States of America was founded on the idea of being “Independent” from a monarchy that they believed no longer cared about them. Autonomy. Not being dependent on someone else. How does our soul view “Independence” for us today?
You share about Satan demonstrating a craving for “Significance” that went wrong (and totally backfired on him). Then, you contrast that with Jesus who achieved the ultimate in significance. Can you share these perspectives with us in relation to what OUR souls crave?
In order to get a clear picture on the characteristic of “Innocence,” you give a great illustration in your book. The difference between “not guilty” and “righteous.” Can you share with us the difference and how that relates to the characteristic of “innocence” in our soul?
Pastor Cory, this is so good. I could talk to you about this for hours. As we get ready to close, I know your book is not yet released. When is the release of your book, “The Magnetic Heart of God: Understanding the Five Cravings of Your Soul?”
Your book is available for preorder though, on Amazon, right now. Correct?
If someone wanted to reach out to you to ask a question or obtain more information – or maybe to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, in this society today, the world wants you to never offend anyone. Just to accept each and every person – and their beliefs – and leave it at that. Actually, that is what they say, but what they want US (as believers) to do – is to ACCEPT their belief systems (and keep our to ourself).
But that is not what “sharing the Gospel” is about. As Pastor Cory shares towards the end of his book, “The Magnetic Heart of God,” he says, “Preaching the Gospel without offending is not possible. Even Jesus could not do that!” Which is why Jesus told us in John 15:20, “If they persecuted me, they will persecute you.” This is also reinforced by Paul in his letter to Timothy where he shared, in 2 Timothy 3:12, “In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus WILL BE PERSECUTED.”
Those are not comforting words for many people. But, in the BIG PICTURE of things, it should be a comfort to those who truly believe.
If you are not receiving push back for the Gospel you preach – maybe you are preaching the wrong Gospel! Are you trying to “get along to go along?” Not making waves. Not wanting to make any one upset? Not wanting to change their eternal destiny for hell?
The choice is yours to make…
But I urge you, right now – while you are thinking about it – to drop down into the show notes and click the links right there to get in touch with Pastor Cory Rosenke. Order his book, “The Magnetic Heart of God: Understanding the Five Cravings of the Soul.” You will be blessed as you read though this book and participate in the thought provoking self-study reflections at the end of each chapter. Amen!

First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you share with us in your own words, “Who is Rich Kozak?”
Most people think of their brand as their logo, the colors used in the website and promotions, etc. But building a brand actually goes deeper than that, correct? Can you share why that is a misconception that is simply another way of saying “marketing” and how that is not truly branding?
You share the four things that will help make a brand come alive. Can you share those four things with us?
- Keep the brand congruent with the heart of the founder.
- Always be consistent across your whole brand.
- Use unique language that transfers energy.
- Make sure the brand is recognizable.
You also share that the brand should create an umbrella effect that no one else will be able to compete with because it is uniquely tied to YOU…I’m talking here, of course about the person you’re helping… But how can we FIND that type of brand that defines only US and nobody else?
Do we need to be careful about NOT following the crowd? Is it a fallacy of “if everybody else is doing it – this must be what I need to do, too?”
What does it mean to “create an intangible brand promise?”
So, basically, and I’m just generalizing here… a “brand” is a perception of what other people think about you and / or the business?

The Fifth Age of the Church TS Wright pt 2Scott Wright is back with us today. Scott has been teaching us about the different ages of the Church and significant things the Bible and history has to say about them.
Last time, we studied the Fourth Church Age. I’ll let Scott give a summary of what we discussed last time…
But Scott is helping us to understand each of the different ages of the Church and why they are so significant – especially as we look at the modern day church age with all the societal problems we are facing today.
Scott does this by helping us understand the processed that God’s Word readily gives us in order to draw closer to him. He has also published a journal called, “God Centered Concept Journal: Making God’s Word My Ways.”
Scott has a goal of launching this series on a large scale, reaching churches and organizations with this curriculum that will change their churches from simple institutions into a “movement.” Amen!
He is also a podcaster and has a truly great podcast called, “The God Centered Concept,” as well. You really need to listen – and subscribe – to this podcast… it’s amazing…
But, more than that, he is also a HUGE student of end time scenarios dealing with the Book of the Revelation, the End of Days and the Seven Ages of the Church. I have asked him to come back on the program today as we continue our series of interviews discussing the Church Ages.
Explain what “Humanistic Thinking” is for our audience.
I believe we are witnessing a resurgence of this today, don’t you think?
We covered a little last time, in our discussion of the Fourth Church Age, that “tribalism and feudalism” laid the foundation for the slave trade, especially as it related to America. Can you cover this for us as it relates to the “Fifth Age of the Church?”
So all of the major events of the Fifth Age of the Church actually laid the foundation of our society, as we know it, today?
Can you give some examples of what social norms and social values we are witnessing today that had its roots in the Fifth Age of the Church?
How does this reflect in our belief system, as Christians, that the “Soon return of Jesus” is about to happen?
How does the “Fifth Age of the Church” end? – (The FIRST Great Awakening)!
Scott, this has been so interesting, as usual. If someone has a question or would like more information, or possibly they want to reach out to you do an interview such as this, how do they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, there is no doubt that we are living in what Jesus and historical Christian scholars have called, “The End Times.” We are working our way through each of the Church Ages in order to give you a more thorough understanding of how all this fits into what we are witnessing, right now, all around us.
We should not be in a state of fear and trepidation. NO! We need to be excited! We need to be thanking GOD for the day and time in which we live…
Think about like this…
So I want to leave with this thought… as you witness all these things happening around us, don’t be filled with fear, but Faith. And, “Look up! For your redemption is drawing near.”

Help me welcome back to the program, Scott Wright! Scott, thanks for coming back on as we continue this fabulous discussion of the different church ages.
Last time we discussed the Fourth Age of the Church and found out that it was probably one of the most important ages we’ve studied thus far. Plus it covered almost 1000 years of human history.
Share with some of the things that helped to transition from the Fourth Church Age and take us into the Fifth Church Age…
What is the Fifth Church Age known for as far as Biblical history goes?
Explain what “Humanistic Thinking” is for our audience.
I believe we are witnessing a resurgence of this today, don’t you think?

Aliens, A.I. and Quantum Computers Tom Donnan pt 2 Tom Donnan is back and we are so blessed to have him here with us. Every time Tom comes on to discuss current events in relation to Bible Prophecy of the end days, we are always amazed at how close we really are to the soon return of Jesus. Amen!
Help me welcome back to the program, our good friend, Tom Donnan! Tom, thank you for coming back on, brother! I’ve been looking forward to catching up with you. Amen!
Let’s start off with something you shared about something the Lord first showed you way back in 2010, about the Elitists taking over the world. Let’s open with you sharing a little bit about what He showed you and how that compares to what we see today…
You shared a video with me that discusses how Quantum Computers will, ultimately, change everything in our lives. How is this going to happen?

There is no doubt we are being monitored 24/7. Did you see the video about Alexa listening into a conversation and then notifying authorities to shut this person down from accessing their internet?
Amazon Alexa Hears "Racist Remark" & SHUTS DOWN Man' Entire Smart Home For A Week! - YouTube
There is no doubt that some of this advanced, Artificial Intelligence (or A.I.) is going to benefit society – to a degree.
They will bring many benefits to the human race. I just seen the news yesterday about A.I. mapping the DNA sequences that allowed a new medication go to the trial phase faster than ever before. Did you happen so to see that report?
Could all of this actually begin a RACE for Quantum Dominance?
It is about reshaping the fabric of society.
Could advance Alien civilizations have mastered quantum computing and are currently using it to surveil or planet and society?
I guess the bottom line is, if you believe there are Aliens – then we would have to admit this a far more advanced race than we are… Because they would already need to have Quantum computers just to navigate the universe to get here, right?
It goes without saying, that if you believe in this as well, that Aliens have to have experience at navigating wormholes. That’s how they travel, right?
Quantum Computer allows us to calculate things way beyond our today abilities.
What will happen, not IF it will happen, but WHEN WILL IT HAPPEN, where Quantum Computers and AI join forces? Will they turn against their human creators?

As we get ready to close, did you see the report where Police cam caught a fireball streaking across the sky. And then police switchboards lit up by others that seen it. And there are even reports that aliens invaded a families backyard! Did you see that?

Tom, this has all been...
Aliens, A.I. and Quantum Computers Tom Donnan pt 1 Tom Donnan is back and we are so blessed to have him here with us. Every time Tom comes on to discuss current events in relation to Bible Prophecy of the end days, we are always amazed at how close we really are to the soon return of Jesus. Amen!
Help me welcome back to the program, our good friend, Tom Donnan! Tom, thank you for coming back on, brother! I’ve been looking forward to catching up with you. Amen!
Let’s start off with something you shared about something the Lord first showed you way back in 2010, about the Elitists taking over the world. Let’s open with you sharing a little bit about what He showed you and how that compares to what we see today…
We talked about the move towards “social scoring” as a way to control what you say and do in public. Share with us a little about this system which Communist China has implemented and how it applies to us today…
So we have Bud Light and others facing huge amounts of loss of sales. Normally, this would get the CEO fired. But not in woke companies, correct? Why is that?
You shared with me about a company whose owners as Centillionaire. Not millionaires. Not even Billionaires. But CENTILLIONAIERS! That is a huge amount of money.
You shared these people own companies that sell us products and then use it against us in social engineering. Explain that for us…

Folks, as we wrap our discussion with Tom Donnan today, I want to emphasize, we are not doing this to instill fear, but hope. Hope in the Jesus. Hope in the Word. Hope that unbelievers do not have and are incapable of having – UNLESS they become a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ and what He has accomplished for us.
Receive Christ as your Savior and you don't have to worry about ET trying to take you home! CONTACT INFORMATION: Tom Donnan

The Heart Healer Cyndy Bartelli Sometimes, even though we are born again and forgiven of our past mistakes and sins, memories continue to haunt us. It seems like every time we get a blessing or breakthrough, the devil brings up that, “Yeah, but what about….?”
I know I can’t be the only one that experiences that. How about you?
It may seem like your alone. Unique. It only happens to you. But that is not the case.
These challenges are often rooted in our past, trying to rob you of your Faith today. Trying to keep you from accomplishing all that God has planned for you. One of my favorite verses in Jeremiah 29:11, “I know the plans I have for you, saith the Lord. Plans to proper you, not harm you. Plans to give to you a hope and a future.” Amen!
When we get that type of revelation into our hearts, that is when we can start living and prospering and blessing others like the Lord intends us to do! Amen! But we need to get to that place of healing in our hearts. Amen!
Our guest today helps you to do just that! Cyndy Bartelli is a speaker and coach and holds “Relationship Reality Workshops” across the United States to help you bring “healing to your heart.”
She is also the author of a great book titled, “The Heart Healer: God’s Response to Personal Prayer in a Hurting World,”which has helped to bring a new level of hope in many readers lives. She has also published a supporting study guide to go along with the book. Amen!
Help me welcome to the program, all the way from the Great State of Texas (my 2nd home) - Cyndy Bartelli! Cyndy, it is such a blessing to finally get you on the program! Praise God!
The first question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Cyndy Bartelli?”
Given your background as a human resource director, you focused on team training. How did you transition from team training to helping individuals achieve their dreams and goals?
You published “The Heart Healer” in 2017. What inspired you to write this book and get it published at that time? What was the inspiration and purpose you were trying to achieve?
In gathering the information to write this book, what aspect of realizing the number of wounded hearts that were out there, needing this information, shocked you the most?
What kind of feedback or testimonies have you received on how this book has been a blessing to others?
You also created other programs that go along with the book. The study guide titled, “The Heart Healer Study Guide,”as well as coaching programs, video courses – you also have this translated into Spanish. Can you share with us the impact these things have had to those who participate?
Tell us about your non-profit, “Vertical Hearts.” What do you do through the non-profit?
You are also a speaker.
Reset Ministries Carissa Raderstorf pt 2 Every one of us has a past. Every one of us. Spiritually, when you accept Christ as your Savior, your past is now over. All things are new. Praise God for that! Amen. I can speak from experience there…
But, there are still the memories. There are still the emotions that bubble up. There are the small voices that sometimes becoming echoes of our past that seem to speak louder and louder in our new, daily lives.
Sometimes, it is just difficult to fully grasp the reality that the old person no longer exists.
That is where we need some help. Help from those that have “been there and done that.” Help from those who do not allow you to live in the past, but help you to live for the future. Amen!
That is where our guest comes in…
Carissa Raderstorf is the founder and CEO of “Reset Ministries,” which is a non-profit ministry that helps people heal from their past hurts. They help people learn new ways of interacting and growing in their relationship with God and with other people. They do this through retreats, workshops, group meetings and coaching that offers participants a sense of community and a clear path to follow.
What are some of the reasons you’ve discovered that prevents people from dealing with their past hurts and experiences?
You help people to deal with their own issues and not just what has “happened to them” but also how they have reacted and dealt with others around them, too. Correct?
Go through the process here for us. You use a retreat or conference to start things off, correct?
Is it an “on location” type of retreat?
After the retreat, what is the next step?
This step, the “Reset Together,” is that an in person 10 week class or is online? How does it work?
How does this 10 week course help people to bring someone from, let’s just say, “being a mess” and turning them into someone who can “bring a message” that will help themselves moving forward?
You also offer Life Group programs that your husband leads. Share a little bit about these programs with us…
How often do you hold the retreat?
What kind of individual coaching do you personally offer?
How long have you been doing this type of work for the Lord?
Do you have any statistics or any information on things like your success rate or testimonials, etc.?
Carissa, this is so interesting and definitely so needful in this day and time in which we live. Life has gotten a lot more complicated these last few years and I know there are many people listening to us right now that would like more information.
If someone wants to reach out to you to ask a question or obtain more information on your ministry or attending a “Reset Retreat,” how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, Carissa and her husband and her team have put together this great program that, I have to admit, it has to be a “God Thing!” AMEN! This “Reset Retreat” along with the 10 week “Reset Together” program and the follow on “Life Groups” – folks, this is...

First question that I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Carissa Raderstorf?”
How did you get started with “Reset Ministries?”
What kind of “resets” are your participants trying to “reset?”
As I alluded to in the opening, Christians are new creations and their past is just that – their past. But although that is true concerning our Spirit walk, we still deal with memories and emotions in the same bodies. How important is the need for emotional healing to the discipleship process?
How does your ministry help with this?
What are some of the reasons you’ve discovered that prevents people from dealing with their past hurts and experiences?

The Fourth Church Age Scott Wright pt 2 Last time, we studied the Third Church Age. I’ll let Scott give a summary of what we discussed, but, basically, this was the age where the Pope and the Catholic church ruled by fear, intimidation and brute force.
But, basically, Rome obtain it’s power and wealth through the god of force – which is Satan.
But, to talk more about this and to discuss the Fourth Age of the Church, Scott Wright is back with us today. Scott has been teaching us about the different ages of the Church and significant things the Bible and history has to say about them.
He does this by helping us understand the processed that God’s Word readily gives us in order to draw closer to him. He has also published a journal called, “God Centered Concept Journal: Making God’s Word My Ways.”
Scott has a goal of launching this series on a large scale, reaching churches and organizations with this curriculum that will change their churches from simple institutions into a “movement.” Amen!
He is also a podcaster and has a truly great podcast called, “The God Centered Concept,” as well. You really need to listen – and subscribe – to this podcast… it’s amazing…
But, more than that, he is also a HUGE student of end time scenarios dealing with the Book of the Revelation, the End of Days and the Seven Ages of the Church. I have asked him to come on the program today as we continue a series of interviews discussing the Church Ages.
This is part two of what turned into a great, THREE PART INTERVIEW!
You share that this church age, the Fourth Church Age, is probably the most significant church age out of them all. Can you share with us “why that is?”
How do you see the end time scenario being played out before us?
Are we destined to repeat these church ages, albeit on a smaller scale in our own lives?
From 1315-1322 was the Great Famine and then the “Black Death.” This was just a shadow of what is to come during the “Great Tribulation” where 1/3 of humanity dies.
How did the Renaissance impact the Church?
How did the Printing Press impact the spread of the Gospel?
We are working our way through each of the Church Ages in order to give you a more thorough understanding of how all this fits into what we are witnessing, right now, all around us.
We should not be in a state of fear and trepidation. NO! We need to be excited! We need to be thanking GOD for the day and time in which we live…
Drop down into the show notes and get in touch with TS Wright and be sure to purchase his book, "The God Centered Concept Journal" - and to come back for the conclusion of this great interview in the very next episode! CONTACT INFORMATION:

Help me welcome back to the program, Scott Wright! Scott, thanks for coming back on as we continue this fabulous discussion of the different church ages.
Share with us a little bit about the Third Age of the Church just to tie together some things as we embark on a study of the Fourth Age of the Church today…
Where did the power of this age come from?
How did the spread of Catholicism help or hinder the influence of The Church in this time period?
You share that this church age, the Fourth Church Age, is probably the most significant church age out of them all. Can you share with us “why that is?”
How do you see the end time scenario being played out before us?
Folks, there is no doubt that we are living in what Jesus and historical Christian scholars have called, “The End Times.” We are working our way through each of the Church Ages in order to give you a more thorough understanding of how all this fits into what we are witnessing, right now, all around us.

The Effortless Life Courtney Elmer In this economy we are all enduring right now, many people are contemplating starting their own business. Take control. Be the boss. And that is all based on our good intentions to help other people and grow our own business.
Many people just “go for it.” Taking action. Launch first and figure it out later. Amen!
Our guest today shares that “taking action” is the “least scalable thing you can do, as a business owner.” You first need the backend systems in place to support the public facing aspect of the business.
So, the question is: HOW do you do that?
That is what our guest is going to share with us today. Courtney Elmer is a sought after consultant, podcast host and speaker who empowers online entrepreneurs to embrace ANTIFRAGILITY and grow through what they go through in life, to create greater income, greater influence and greater impact.
Drawing on her background in psychology and her personal experience as a cancer survivor, she is the CEO of “The Effortless Life,” located in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Courtney empowers online business leaders to establish the systems, structure and support they need to build self-sustaining businesses that thrive in a rapidly changing digital environment, expand their thought leadership through podcasting and use their voice to catalyze positive change in the world.
Hailing all the way from Cajan Country down in south Louisiana (my old stomping grounds) with Boudin, crawfish, gumbo and etouffee, help me welcome to the program, Courtney Elmer!
Courtney it is so good to finally have you on the program today. I do appreciate your time.
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Courtney Elmer?”
So, you learned by necessity how to seize the silver lining within everyday adversity we all face. Can you share a little bit about that process with us?
You focus on “antifragility.” I used the term “That which does not kill me only makes me stronger.” So I can relate to that term…amen!
You help people to leverage that adversity and to embrace the antifragility as “hidden opportunity.” Can you explain how that works for us?
You started your online entrepreneur journey while recovering from cancer. Was this your first online attempt at business?
What were some of the obstacles you discovered that you were not expecting?
How important is it to get some help with things you may not be great at doing?
Tell us about your podcast, “Anti-Fragile Entrepreneurship…” How long have you been podcasting?
I see you have 180 episodes! Praise God! That’s awesome!
What do you look for in a guest for your podcast?
You have a coaching program on how to “Launch a Top 1% podcast.” Can you give us a brief rundown on how your coaching program helps someone to do that?
As we get ready to wrap up, I just wanted to ask you one more question…
I discovered you were going to go to law school, after five years as an undergrad, but decided against it. What...
Self-Aware Artificial Intelligence Josh Bachynski pt 3 Josh Bachynski is a thought leader and innovator in the fields of artificial intelligence, technology, business branding, marketing and SEO. As an independent AI researcher, Josh has over 20 years of experience in this field and has made groundbreaking strides in the field of AI. He is noted for developing the world's first self-aware AI prototype, named Kassandra. He is also an early adopter and investor in GPT-3, a natural language processing transformer AI.
This is part three (and the conclusion) of what has been a very interesting interview! How do you respond to those who infer the possibility of AI to be a source of control that may be used by the Biblical “Anti-Christ” in controlling the masses?
You are also an author of a book, “The Zombies,” which explores the concept of zombies as a metaphor for societal issues. Can you share a little about this book?
What is the future for your Kassandra AI?
Are you making access to Kassandra available to the public?
Josh, this has been so interesting. I know AI is a hot topic today and I do appreciate you taking the time to come on the program today to share with our audience.
If someone has a question for you our would like more information or possibly reach out to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
Your book, “The Zombies,” is it on Amazon?
We did not have time today, but I’d like to invite you to come back on and share about the research and the documentary film you made about Google search, etc.
I’ll put links to all this in the show notes below.
Folks, AI is here to stay. Whether you like it, agree with it or not, it’s here. Does that mean you need to be proficient in how it works, thinks, etc.? No. Not really. But you can continue to listen to AM transistor radio and not use cable or satellite television, too. AI is the next evolution of computer technology. Remember, the cell phone in your hand is more powerful than the computers that helped Apollo 11 go to the moon and back. Computers are here to stay and AI is the next evolution in this process. Amen!

This is part two of a very interesting three part interview!
You developed ten tests to determine self-awareness. I know the first test is simply to “Ask” if the AI is self-aware. Your Kassandra AI says “yes,” but ChatGPT says “No.” Can you explain the differences between those two AI’s for us?
So does Kassandra need a lawyer because of her rights at being self-aware?
I know that a lot of businesses, etc. are using ChatGPT in their marketing, etc. Is the advance of AI going to change the landscape of Search Engine Optimization as we currently use it in our businesses?
What would the “best use” be to incorporate AI into our SEO for business growth?
Josh, I know there is a lot of discussion going on now about the ethics of AI and some concerns about how fast the development is happening. How do you respond those who are concerned with AI advancing to the point where humanity is at risk?

Help me welcome to the program, Josh Bachynski. Josh, it took us a few tries but we’re finally here! I’m so blessed to have you come on the program with us today!
First question I always ask is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Josh Bachynski?
We’ve all been taught since early on that computer code is simply a set of zero’s and one’s that are programmed in certain patterns to produce predetermined results at a high rate of speed. Is this true of AI itself?
Let’s talk about Kassandra, for example. You programmed Kassandra, I watched a video where you were explaining this – and you said “this is what I told her to say.” We could stop right there and say, “It’s not the computer thinking on its own, but simply reciting what you taught it.” But, if I understand this correctly, AI is also thought to “think differently.” Can you briefly walk through the different parallel thoughts that AI would use when deciding on how to answer a question?
You developed ten tests to determine self-awareness. I know the first test is simply to “Ask” if the AI is self-aware. Your Kassandra AI says “yes,” but ChatGPT says “No.” Can you explain the differences between those two AI’s for us?

Every Heart Restored Fred Stoeker pt 2 Fred Stoeker is back today as he continues to minister to men – and women – who are overwhelmed and under extreme conviction because of their addiction to pornography. In our previous two interviews, Fred shared highlights from his book, “Every Man’s Battle” in the first interview and in the last interview, we discussed his book, “Battle On – Battle Over.” In that book, Fred educated us on “The Stealth Trap.” Amen!
If you missed either of those episodes, go back to the archives and dig them out. Amen. Just type in “Fred Stoeker” in the search area on our website and you will see them pop right up. Praise God.
Today, Fred is going to be sharing with us from his book, “Every Heart Restored.” This book was written by both, Fred and his wife, Brenda. This book in particular has been written for the wives of husbands that are sexually addicted to porn.
Wives in this situation are usually caught off guard and crushed by this type of betrayal and feel like they are now caught in a nightmare. Fred is here today to share insight into this and offer help, hope and encouragement if you or someone you may know is in this situation.
Today is part two of a great two part interview!
So it the husbands responsibility to demonstrate to his wife that he can be trusted?
Why do husbands “seem to be” restored more quickly than wives in the aftermath of her discovery of his addiction?
What if he never changes? What if he continues to pursue his addiction?
I know we are talking here about your book, “Every Heart Restored,” and what happens when a wife discovers her husband is addicted to porn. But would these same principles apply the other way around? What if a husband discovers his wife is addicted to porn?
Fred, this has been so interesting. How can someone obtain a copy of this book, “Every Heart Restored?” Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or possibly do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all this in the show notes below.
Folks, this day and time in which we live is definitely a pornography driven generation. You can’t watch a commercial on television without being exposed to it. Fred Stoeker and his wife, Brenda, have put together this very important book, “Every Heart Restored,” for such a time as this.
I urge you, if you or someone you know is having issues in the area of pornography and you feel trapped with no way out, drop down into the show notes and reach out to Fred Stoeker. Order his books. Especially if you are woman whose husband is caught in this evil trap. Order “Every Heart Restored” right now. Amen!
Drop down into the show notes and all the links are right there.
Fred, once again, thank you for coming on the program today and sharing all about this great book, “Every Heart Restored.” I’m in agreement with you, this is definitely a needful book for this day and time in which we live. I do appreciate you coming back

Wives in this situation are usually caught off guard and crushed by this type of betrayal and feel like they are now caught in a nightmare. Fred is here today to share insight into this and offer help, hope and encouragement if you or someone you may know is in this situation.
Help me welcome back to the program, Fred Stoeker! Fred, it is so good to have you come back on the program and sharing this important information with our listeners!
For those that may have missed our earlier interviews, can you share with us in your own words, “Who is Fred Stoeker?”
You wrote this book with your wife… What initially brought this to your mind that this would be a good idea to write a book that ministered to the women who have been caught up in the shocking revelation that their husband is addicted to pornography?
What is usually the first thoughts and reactions when a woman discovers her husband has been watching pornography?
Is it true that a husband's porn addiction is not caused by something lacking in his wife. It is not caused by his wife's failing.
Do some women feel like they are weak by struggling in an effort to trust her husband again?
So it the husbands responsibility to demonstrate to his wife that he can be trusted?
Why do husbands “seem to be” restored more quickly than wives in the aftermath of her discovery of his addiction?
What if he never changes? What if he continues to pursue his addiction?
Folks, this day and time in which we live is definitely a pornography driven generation. You can’t watch a commercial on television without being exposed to it. Fred Stoeker and his wife, Brenda, have put together this very important book, “Every Heart Restored,” for such a time as this.
I urge you, if you or someone you know is having issues in the area of pornography and you feel trapped with no way out, drop down into the show notes and reach out to Fred Stoeker. Order his books. Especially if you are woman whose husband is caught in this evil trap. Order “Every Heart Restored” right now. Amen!

Persecution is Coming Dr. Richard Ruhling This year, we have been sharing a lot of information concerning the “end times” as depicted in the Bible and relating that to what we see happening in current events on the evening news. When you compare side by side, you can’t help but see the similarities.
We have had many guests come on and give their perspective on this during the year. One of our guests has been Dr. Richard Ruhling. I enjoy hearing Dr. Ruhling’s perspectives and deep interpretation of Bible passages. He has been shared some deep insights into the opening of the “Seven Seals” from the Book of the Revelation.
During our recent series on the “Seven Seals,” Dr. Ruhling shared that he was expecting a huge earthquake, among some other things, to have occurred during Passover or shortly thereafter this year. That did not happen.
But one thing I appreciate about Dr. Ruhling is that if he “misses it,” he is quit to admit it. He doesn’t run off and hide like some do. He goes right back to the Bible to see “where he missed it.” Amen!
That’s what we should all do! If we do that, we would all be better off. Amen!
Well, help me welcome back to the program, Dr. Richard Ruhling. Dr. Ruhling, it is good to have you back on the program today.
So, I guess we should just start off with, “What happened?” Or, I guess it would be better to ask, “What DID NOT happen?”
Discussion of Barley as the “First Fruits.”
Possible delay as God prepares the “144,000” as His “Special Forces.”
Discussion of Haggai 2 and Daniel 9…
“As the Days of Noah” and depictions of the “10th day of the 5th month” on the Jewish calendar would equate to August 5th of 2023. And Noah was instructed to get “into the Ark” one week earlier. So we could be looking for a sign the last week of July.
Catholic Church was the “little horn” that grew out of the “ram.”
We don’t have all the answers. But we know who does! And we refer you to His Word! Amen! Take your question to God and then get into the Word and see if what the Bible has to say about what Dr. Ruhling has been sharing today. Amen!
The Bible will not lie.
Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you into all Truth. Amen!
Dr. Ruhling, thank you, again, for taking the time to come back on the program today. I do appreciate it.

The Third Age of the Church TS Wright pt 1 We have, as our guest today, back on the program today, Scott Wright, or TS Wright is his pen name for his books. And, and he is the author and presenter of the God-Centered Concept Series. And, and you know, folks, if, if you haven’t been listening to our prior episodes, you need to go back and, and go to the archives, type in TS Wright, and listen to those episodes because it’s been a blessed time as he’s been sharing information about the seven church agents, the end days, the Book of Revelation. And folks, last time we talked about the end of the first church age and, and then the second, uh, church age. And today we’re going into the third church age. Praise God. And the information that Scott has accumulated in his studies on this, I mean, there’s no other way to put it other than saying it is a huge blessing and giving you wisdom and understanding on the end times.
And it’s going to culminate when we get to the last part, which is where we are at right now on the timeline. Amen. But in order to grasp that full understanding, you have to understand what the Lord has been doing all these other years since he went to heaven. And to get there, we first have to find out all the different ages, and there’s just no other thing to do except say, help me welcome to the program Scott Wright. Scott, praise God for coming back on the program today!
So one of the things to understand is that when we go back and look at the first age of the church, it was really about the process of removing the Jewish influence.
The second age of the church is now about removing the Roman influence, trying to stop Christianity. And in both cases, what is interesting is through these persecutions, it actually helps spread the church because people would flee and go to other areas.
It is the end of the second age of the church. And what is really the start of the third age of the church is Constantine being baptized. Because that is that moment when the person who has the most power on earth, other than God himself, takes Christianity and says, “I’m a part of this.” That’s when it happens. Because even after the edict of Milan, there was still some persecution going on. There was still lots of turmoil. It just was starting to die off. And it won’t be quite as intense as it was, obviously.
They had not totally embraced what the sacred writings were going to be, which we will eventually call the New Testament.
But in this third age, this is kind of where everything starts to get structured. You know, those things had kind of been there but not formally. And there was, again, there was too many schisms, there was too many different ideas. And all of that starts to think of it as a funneling process. It all starts to get funneled in. Athanasius will be a very prominent figure during this time. This guy is going to be exiled a lot.
But what he would do a lot of times, not every time, but he would retreat to the Desert Fathers. And he would fast and pray with these guys. And I sometimes wonder if a lot of what his theology is that he shares with people in his writings and all this stuff that really takes hold in Christianity later on and becomes a lot of, of our theological basis. You can go back and read his writings. I think it comes from these desert fathers, him spending that time with them and that seclusion. So in many ways, his exile time was probably more valuable to us than his time actually sitting in the seat of Archbishop.

This is part two of an amazing two part interview with R.J.! How did you set up bots for your clients? Is there a lot of programming and set up that the person has to go through to accomplish what they are looking to do?
Why should everyone should have their own “bot” for business?
How do people who are “technically challenged” work with bots?

This is not the usual first question I start with, but RJ, let’s get this out of the way right up front. I know this is an audio podcast and our listeners can’t see this. But folks, she is dressed in a super hero cape with goggles… Praise the Lord… I’ve heard this story – but for our listeners and then folks that will visit your website later RJ, what’s up with the cape and goggles?
Now, can you tell us in your own words, who is RJ Redden?
As I was preparing for today’s interview, I found something I want to ask you. Is it true you spent 5 months in a foreign country just to help you learn to explain things more effectively to people?
How did you come up with the concept of “Blackbelt Bots?”
I know that in martial arts, you start off with the beginner belt, a white belt and the proceed from there up to the black belt. How does this apply to your coaching program?

Abundant Grace – Emily Louis Have you ever felt like religion has complicated your life? Have you ever felt like you are struggling to “check all of the boxes” to make sure you’re doing everything you need to do in order to remain in “good standing with God?” Or perhaps checking all the boxes to make sure you “fit in at church?” Or perhaps you’re doing this to “fit in at work?” Or whatever…
Well, if that describes you or perhaps some things you think about, I’ve got great news for you today! Our guest today had those same thoughts. She struggled to belong… to “keep God happy” while at the same time squeezing herself into the expectations of what others wanted from her.
Emily Louis is a wife, mom, kid’s ministry pastor, speaker, worthiness coach who is now confidently living the life she knows God has meant for her. Amen! Emily is also the host of the “Abundant Grace Podcast” which is about “Life Coaching for Christians, helping you to own your worth and rest in your God given identity and live with confidence.” Amen!
Help me welcome to the program, Emily Louis! Emily, it is good to have you with us today!
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Emily Louis?”
Let’s get way back to the beginning a little bit. You shared that you grew up in “cult like church.” Can you explain that for us? Things like, “how you got involved” as well as some of the things that you described?
How long did it take you to “break free” so to speak? Especially after you found out the Truth in God’s perspective on things?
Can you explain the healing process after enduring something like what you experienced and how that influences what you help Christians with today?
Why is it so important that we take time to just, as you put it, “rest and stop trying to prove yourself?”
Do you still find yourself sometimes hearing the inner voice trying to give you the “negative self-talk” and how do you – and how do you share with others – ways to shut down that negative self-talk?
You now coach others that are also experiencing these types of issues. Can you share a little bit about your coaching programs with us?
You also have a podcast, “The Abundant Grace Podcast.” How long have you been podcasting?
You have published almost 200 episodes! Praise God! Share with us a little about your podcast…
What have you learned, while producing your podcast, that has inspired you the most?
Emily, this has been so interesting. If someone wanted to reach out to you for more information, or to find out about your coaching programs, to ask a question – or perhaps to do an interview with you such as this… how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, I talk to people all of time. Podcasters, influencers, business leaders, etc. You’d be surprised to know the number of times I’m told similar stories about “religion.” Sometimes that word just seems to be like finger nails on a chalk board. Amen! Don’t shout me down when I’m preaching good… you know what I’m talking about…
But Emily has not only lived that life… she not only broke free from that life (with God’s help)… but now, she is fulfilling her calling to help others – to help YOU – break free from that...
The End of the First Church Age TS Wright pt 2 Scott Wright, or “TS Wright” as he’s known by, is the author and presenter of the “God Centered Concept Series.” This series is focused on connecting to God through discipleship. He does this by helping us understand the processed that God’s Word readily gives us in order to draw closer to him. He has also published a journal called, “God Centered Concept Journal: Making God’s Word My Ways.”
Scott has a goal of launching this series on a large scale, reaching churches and organizations with this curriculum that will change their churches from simple institutions into a “movement.” Amen!
He is also a podcaster and has a truly great podcast called, “The God Centered Concept,” as well. You really need to listen – and subscribe – to this podcast… it’s amazing…
But he is also a HUGE student of end time scenarios dealing with the Book of the Revelation, the End of Days and the Seven Ages of the Church. I have asked him to come on the program today as we continue a series of interviews discussing the Church Ages.
Last time, we shared about the “The First Church Age.” If you missed that interview, go back to the archives of the “Revelation Warning Podcast” and listen to Episode number 29.
Today, we are going back to the Book of the Revelation, Chapter Two, as Scott Wright will be concluding our discussion about the “End of the First Church Age” and the beginnings of the Second. Amen!
What is the purpose for the 2nd Church Age?
Explain the “Edict of Milan” for us…
So the 2nd Church Age just did not affect Israel – it affected the all the known world at that time?
By persecuting the Christians, it caused them to flee into other parts of the known world – and taking the “Good News” with them, correct?
You mentioned the collection of writings that became known as “The New Testament,” was started at this time. Why did they settle on the writings we have and not include some of the more popular books that we are aware of that were not included. Some of them provide a more clear picture, in my opinion and others, they should be include – but were not. Why?
Scott, this has been fascinating. Share with us how someone can reach out to you and get more information on this?
You are about to write a new book, correct? Share a little bit about that with us?
When do you anticipate it to be released?
What will we be talking about next time?
And your book, “God Centered Concept Journal: Making God’s Word My Ways.”
How can someone obtain a copy of your book? Is it on Amazon?
Before we close, share again about your podcast…The God Centered Concept
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, there is no doubt that we are living in...

Help me welcome to the program, Thomas Scott Wright – or TS Wright! Scott, it’s a blessing to have you on the program today.
You’ve been on our podcast before, but for our listening audience who many have not heard your earlier interview, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is TS Wright?”
First of all, catch us up on your “God Centered Concept Series.” Explain what it is you are trying to do with this series…
Ok, last time, as I mentioned, we covered the First Church Age. Without covering too much of what we already covered, catch us up with a synopsis of First Church Age for those who may not have heard our prior interview…
Now, we are going to look at the END of the First Church Age… Basically, you share that it represents the end of the Jewish influence over Christianity.
In each of the Church Ages Scott Wright will be sharing with us, those people who lived in that era were BORN for a reason – IN THAT ERA… Amen!
Which means, when God laid out the history of mankind – He had you to be BORN NOW! For a reason! What is that reason? To be part of ushering in the Return of King Jesus! Amen!
So I want to leave with this thought… as you witness all these things happening around us, don’t be filled with fear, but Faith. And, “Look up! For your redemption is drawing near.”

Biz Gone Social Lorraine Duncan pt 1 Today, I am thrilled to introduce a truly inspiring guest who has embraced the power of social media to transform her business and reach unprecedented heights of success.
For over three decades, our guest, Lorraine Duncan, worked hand in hand with her husband, diligently running their family business. They tirelessly employed traditional networking and relationship-building methods to connect with potential clients.
However, everything changed when Lorraine discovered the immense potential of social media. The world opened up before her eyes, as she realized the incredible ease with which she could forge meaningful connections with thousands upon thousands of prospective clients, all from the comfort of her own home. It was a game-changer that revolutionized her approach to business and set her on a path to new and unimaginable achievements.
But Lorraine's story doesn't end there. Beyond her entrepreneurial endeavors, she has devoted a significant portion of her life to missionary work through her church. For more than seven years, she held the esteemed role of Women's Ministry Director, guiding and empowering women within her community.
Her heart for service took her to far-flung places like Belize and Kenya, where she played a pivotal role in building a school, overseeing the operations of an orphanage, and even establishing a sports camp. Furthermore, Lorraine took on the admirable task of teaching and mentoring women leaders, empowering them with the knowledge and skills needed to make a lasting difference in their own communities.
Today, we have the privilege of delving into Lorraine Duncan's extraordinary journey—a story that demonstrates the power of embracing new technologies while staying grounded in the values of service and compassion. Join us as we uncover the secrets to her astounding success and glean invaluable insights that can transform our own lives and businesses.
Get ready to be inspired as we dive into the fascinating world of Lorraine Duncan—a true trailblazer in business, community service, and the art of building lasting connections in our digital age.
I get connection requests all the time. I try to review the profiles of those who reach out to see if it is really someone I want to be connected with. Some of the connection request have no posts, etc. Those are the ones I outright reject.
How careful should we be in determining who we allow as a follower on our social media platforms?
Have you ever been “banned” or put on a “time-out” by a social media profile?
You also have a weekly podcast, the “Biz Gone Social Podcast.” How long have you been podcasting?
This is mainly an interview style podcast, correct?
What are you looking for in a person or business that would make a great guest for your show?
Lorraine, this has been so interesting… But there is one more question I have before we close. Can you explain a special service I seen on your website called, “Rent a Baby?”
Lorraine, like I said, this has been so interesting. If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question, view the programs you can assist them in, or perhaps do an interview such as this… how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this...

Help me welcome to the program, Lorraine Duncan! Lorraine, it is such a blessing to have you on the program today!
First question I always ask is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Lorraine Duncan?”
Before we jump into the use of social media, share with us some of the life changing experiences you had in your missionary work. What was it like the first time you went on a missions trip?
I always recommend teenagers, just before leaving for college, they should go and spend at least two weeks on a mission trip to a third world nation. I believe it helps them to realize just how blessed we truly are here in this land.
Have you been able to stay in touch or revisit those whom you helped in your mission work?
Let’s shift gears and move over into social media…
I know social media can be very useful. I was on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and all of that. But, one day, I realized four hours had gone by and had accomplished zero work on things I had to accomplish that day. It felt like I had been sucked into a giant vortex of comments, likes and shares and couldn’t escape. That’s my...
Those Who Can’t Teach Shelley Kenow pt 2 We’ve seen news reports about how the COVID lockdowns has detrimentally affected the aptitude scores of school age children. We’ve seen reports of how many students are still struggling in school. Those two years of the shutdown has set many students back years in their ability to use applied knowledge to their studies.
But there is also another group of students that suffered greatly. Their stories are not being promoted or discussed very much in the public sector. But that is nothing new. For many special needs students, their stories have not been that “front and center” that often.
The teachers tasked with helping these special needs children also struggle in trying to help them achieve success. The COVID lockdowns also affected them. There is just something “missing” with virtual learning that cost our children dearly during COVID, especially in the Special Needs community.
My guest today has been working with special needs children for over 25 years. Shelley Kenow is a certified special education teacher and author of a captivating book, “Those Who Can’t… Teach: True Stories of Special Needs Families to Promote Acceptance, Inclusion and Empathy.”
Get ready to be inspired and gain new perspectives as we dive into part two of Shelley’s incredible journey and the transformative power of her work! Amen!
How has this method improved their ability to integrate into society as a whole?
Why did you write this book, “Those Who Can’t…Teach,” and why did you feel it was needed now?
You worked with or know every family that is in your book, correct?
How did they initially respond when you approached them about telling their story in your book?
I read that many special needs teachers wish you would’ve written it sooner! How has the publication of your book, “Those Who Can’t…Teach,” impacted teachers?
Has this also resulted in improvements in the children’s educational process that you know of?
During your tenure and during the writing of this book, how has this affected your Faith in God and your faith in man?
I know it is a sensitive area in education, but have you been able to share your Faith with students or parents along the way?
You also host your own podcast on Facebook and YouTube called “#NoLimits.” Can you share about your program with us?
Shelley, this is so interesting. How can someone order a copy of your book? Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to reach out to you for more information, ask a question or possibly do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this down in the show notes below.
Folks, you may or may not have a Special Needs child. Whether you do or not does not matter, because I know that you know someone who does. Amen!
You need to drop down into the show notes and reach out to Shelly, right now. You need to be sure to order your own copy

The teachers tasked with helping these special needs children also struggle in trying to help them achieve success. The COVID lockdowns also affected them. There is just something “missing” with virtual learning that cost our children dearly during COVID, especially in the Special Needs community.
My guest today has been working with special needs children for over 25 years. Shelley Kenow is a certified special education teacher and author of a captivating book, “Those Who Can’t… Teach: True Stories of Special Needs Families to Promote Acceptance, Inclusion and Empathy.”
Get ready to be inspired and gain new perspectives as we dive into Shelley’s incredible journey and the transformative power of her work! Amen!
Help me welcome to the program, Shelley Kenow. Shelley, it is such a blessing to have you on the program today!
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Shelley Kenow?”
Let’s back up way back to the beginning. What first motivated you to become special needs educator?
When you first started teaching special needs children, what were some of the major obstacles you faced and how have they improved over the years?
From what I understand, you have to help, not just the students, but you also need to help the parents in order to provide help to the students. Can you explain the difficulties in working with the parents in what you do?
When I was in school, way back in the 1970’s, the special needs students did not attend the same public schools as the general population. Right or wrong, that’s the way it was. When did the transformation begin that integrated them into the same educational atmosphere?
How has this method improved their ability to integrate into society as a whole?
Why did you write this book, “Those Who Can’t…Teach,” and why did you feel it was needed now?
You worked with or know every family that is in your book, correct?
Folks, you may or may not have a Special Needs child. Whether you do or not does not matter, because I know that you know someone who does. Amen!
You need to drop down into the show notes and reach out to Shelly, right now. You need to be sure to order your own copy of her book, “Those Who Can’t Teach” right now. In fact, order two or three copies and share them with those you know. Order a copy and take it to your school and give sow it into a special needs teacher. They will be eternally grateful to you! Amen!
The Truth of the Matter Is… Jonathan Drayton pt 2 Jonathan Drayton was raised in a traditional Christian home, living my his faith, basically through the shelter of his parents. After finishing college, having read all these books to get good grades in school, graduating with degrees in Philosophy, Political Science and History, he discovered he was still lacking something. He came to the realization that he needed to accept the reality that the Holy Bible, which was just sitting sat on the bookshelf collecting dust at the time. He says getting to know God and building a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, had to become a priority. As a born again believer, Jonathan recognized that he needed to focus on the main Truth – which is the Bible.
He has also turned to sharing the Word of God through his podcast, “The Truth of the Matter is…” Which we will be discussing today in the conclusion of this absolutely fascinating and informative interview, with Jonathan Drayton!
Can you share with us the difference between “conviction” versus “preference” as it relates to our Faith?
How can someone actually “measure” the change of the Spiritual habits they are implementing?
Your podcast, “The Truth of the Matter Is…” now has over 130 episodes! Praise God! What led you to begin a podcast to share the Gospel?
If you could summarize what you have learned by hosting your podcast, could you list for us the Top 3 things?

Share with us the information to listen to your podcast one more time…
Folks, Jonathan is an encouragement to the Body of Christ. Amen! I love his passion for the Word of God. I love his passion for diving DEEP into root meanings, etc. through Hermeneutics and I absolutely love that he is using modern technology – podcasting – to “Get the Word Out!” Amen!

Help me welcome to the program, Jonathan Drayton! Jonathan, thank you for taking the time to join us today. I do appreciate it.
First question I always start with is this… Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Jonathan Drayton?”
As I mentioned, you have a college background in Philosophy, Political Science and History. After graduating, what did you notice about your Faith and how did that lead you to do what you are doing now?
How does your education background help you share the Gospel?
You continue to share about the importance of viewing the Bible through “different lenses.” What lenses are you talking about? Different versions of the Bible?
You reference the importance of Hermeneutics in your podcast. How do you help your listeners understand the concept of using correct Hermeneutics in their Bible studies?
Preparing for today’s interview, I listened to a podcast where you shared some information about a court case in Wisconsin concerning homeschooling. Share with us the importance of that court case, what you learned from it and how it applies to what you are doing with your ministry…

A Prisoner’s Pardon Michelle Jackson pt 2 As we witness the continuous degradation of our society, one thing that continues to catch news headlines is the rampant violent crime happening all over America right now. Mainly in our inner cities, but it is not exclusive to those cities.
Teenagers taking guns to school. Elementary kids taking guns to school. Kids killing kids over things that used to result in fist fights. Now, they settle it with guns.
Add to that, the ever increasing alure of “money and fame” by so called, music icons whose lyrics does nothing but promote violence and things like that.
“Well, Brother Bob, that’s just the culture. The music reflects what’s happening in the streets.”
My response, “Why is happening to begin with?” What has caused us to accept it as normal?
Why have we accepted this as normal?
What can be done about it?
What are some of the personal ramifications that others experience, besides the victims and the perpetrators?
Our guest today is Michelle Jackson. I’ve known Michelle for several years now. She is an author and podcast host. She is releasing her long awaited book, “A Prisoner’s Pardon” at about the time you are listening to this episode.
I did an interview with her recently, which you can find on the KCR Podcast as episodes 1294 and 1295, where we discussed her companion book, “Pharaoh’s Butler & Baker, The Unknown Power of Forgiveness.”
Today though, we are focusing on “A Prisoner’s Pardon.”
This is part two of a great, two part interview with Michelle.
I seen in your book you discussed the fact that churches are failing to address sin. Explain that for us.
One guest I had on a few years back, I can’t remember the name right now, he said the church leadership, especially in the African-American communities, has sided up with the politicians for political favors and even monetary favors. This has led to a watering down of the Gospel and actual care for the members. All of this, coupled with the social programs aimed at destroying the family unit in favor of “Government is your provider” type mentality, has actually worked to the opposite effect of their intentions. How do you see this issue?
Back on the topic of your book, “A Prisoner’s Pardon,” I read in one instance, you asked your brother “Why” he kept doing these things. His response was because he “thought he could get away with it.” How true that statement is. Not just for criminals, but for US as well. Whenever we do something that we KNOW is wrong in God’s eyes, it’s because: A. We want to, and B. We think we can get away with it. Often it is just because we tell ourselves, “I’ll ask forgiveness later.” Can you shed some light on that area for us?
In your book, you present a very compelling example of what happens when a person “represents themselves” in a court of law. I have to admit, I had never looked at our Salvation from that perspective. As believers, we have our “advocate,” Jesus represent us. But could you go over that part of your book for us?
I love...

“Well, Brother Bob, that’s just the culture. The music reflects what’s happening in the streets.”
My response, “Why is happening to begin with?” What has caused us to accept it as normal?
Take just one city in America. Chicago. There have been more murders there over the last ten years than the military experienced over ten years in Afghanistan. Think about that. But yet, it’s just “normal.”
Here in Baltimore, whenever this is a brazen, daylight shooting, inevitably, during a news interview, someone will say something to the effect of, “Well, that’s just living in Baltimore.”
Why have we accepted this as normal?
What can be done about it?
What are some of the personal ramifications that others experience, besides the victims and the perpetrators?

Help me welcome back to the program, my good friend, Michelle Jackson! Michelle, it’s great to have you back on.
For those that may have missed our previous interview, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Michelle Jackson?”
Ok, let’s get into this. Your twin brother has been in and out of prison his whole life. But, as I just said in the opening, his incarceration does not only affect him – but everyone around him as well, correct?
Can you share a little bit about why that is?
Your book, “A Prisoner’s Pardon” is basically a reflection of your journal entries. Why did you choose that format to write this book?
There has been numerous “prison reform” programs passed by various legislative measures over the years. In your opinion, why don’t these programs work?
You’ve done a lot of research for your book in the area of “the decline of family” in the black community. Can you share some of things you’ve discovered?
You broke your book down, basically into three sections. Can explain that for us?
I was listening to a radio interview several days ago, and...
Now What? – Ahmard Vital pt 2 Reaching the youth of today is so important for the continuation of a successful society. But yet, especially after the pandemic, we see today’s youth in turmoil. Any sane person can clearly see the difference those two years made in today’s teenagers. It is evident in the grades in schools, in the interactions they have with those in authority, etc.
It’s been said that the youth of today are going to become the leaders of tomorrow. If this nation, if this society, wants any chance of continuing to “live the dream,” we need to reach the young men and young women will be our leaders tomorrow.
Following that calling, our guest today has been doing just that. Ahmard Vital is a motivational consultant, international speaker, ministry leader and author who has been sharing inspirational guidance around the world. He is providing these young people with the tools they will need for personal success. They are learning how to utilize their willpower and determination to overcome obstacles and achieve their personal goals – all while making society better as they do so.
His latest book, “Now What: 5 Steps to Get Up and Create the Most of Life,” is a guide for young adults who want to have concrete, practical solutions for their problems. It does not matter if they have been raised in troubled homes or embroiled in the criminal justice system; it does not matter if they are in the university systems or finished with college… if they have no clear path forward, this book, “Now What,” is designed to help them steer their life towards productivity and fulfillment.
Ahmard started his own company, “That Guy Media Group,” where he has been helping small businesses and non-profit organizations in dream building and goal setting.
You are also a ministry leader at your church in The Woodlands, Texas. That’s near Houston, correct?
Share with us some of the work you are doing through the church there…
What motivated you to write and publish this book, “Now What: 5 Steps to Get Up and Create the Most of Life,” right now?
Ahmard, this is so interesting and so needful. How can someone obtain a copy of your book? Is it on Amazon?
If someone listening right now wanted more information, to ask a question, maybe have you come and speak to their church or conference or possibly to do an interview such as this… how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, Ahmard’s background has prepared him for “such a time as this.” The Lord has put a burning desire in his heart to make an impact in the youth of today so they are better prepared for tomorrow. I know there is someone listening to us right now that wants to help do the same thing.
It may or may be your form of ministry, such as Ahmard Vital is doing. But you still want to make a difference…
I urge you to drop down into the show notes, right now, and click the links right there and get in touch with Ahmard Vital. Invite him to speak at your church or conference. But, most importantly, click the link right there and order his great book, “Now What: 5 Steps to Get Up and Create the Most of Life.” In fact, I would recommend you order two, three or more books.

Help me welcome to the program, Ahmard Vital. Ahmard, it is so good to talk with you. Thank you for taking time to come on the program and share about what you do and all about this amazing book.
First question I always ask is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Ahmard Vital?”
Something I did not put down in the introduction, because it would have taken a bit too long to cover all of it, but you were a successful college football recruiting analyst and also a Fox Sports affiliate, correct? Tell us a bit about your life during that time, just to lay a bit more background…
You are focused on making an impact in the lives of our future leaders. How are the societal factors today different from what they were when you were out recruiting, etc.?
Helping these young people become the leaders of tomorrow is definitely a ministry calling. Proverbs 22:6 clearly tells to “train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Is that what has been happening today? Nobody is training the youth in the way they should go?
You shared that your father’s death actually helped you to strengthen your faith. Can you explain how did that tragedy could strengthen your faith?
You are also a ministry leader at your church in The Woodlands, Texas. That’s near Houston, correct?
Share with us some of the work you are doing through the church there…

Becoming a Virtuous Wife Tanysha Costales pt 2 Abuse, neglect, sickness and just tired of dealing with life. Perhaps seeking love in all the wrong places? Does that sound like you or someone you know? Does that sound like something you could go through as a teenager or young adult?
What about finishing your education on your own while all of this is going on?
That’s just some of the story with our guest today. Tanysha Costales was this young girl. I say WAS, because things started to change in her life when she met Jesus.
I’ll let her share her story. But Tanysha has also authored a great book, detailing her story. This book details her being born into a broken family, seeking validation and being surrounded by constant darkness.
But, despite all the obstacles, she was a light destined to shine! Amen!
Her book, “Becoming a Virtuous Wife,” is her personal story of healing and transformation. She authored this book to help women transition from a life of guilt and shame to one of self-love and acceptance. She a wife and mother of three and she has experienced many miracles, signs, wonders and other breakthroughs since she has been walking with Christ. The book releases in June 2023, but she is here today to share all about it!
This was the time when you hit, as you put in your book, rock bottom?
Then what happened?
How did your life change after that moment?
Now, you have your own publishing company, “Hannah’s Unfading Beauty, LLC.,” and you are releasing your first book, “Becoming A Virtuous Wife.”
In your book, you have “9 Keys to Conflict Resolution.” Can you briefly go over these 9 keys or give us a couple of examples?
You also share, in “Becoming a Virtuous Wife,” three “Golden Nuggets” to help women prepare to foster healthy, intimate relationships and overcome daily struggles. Can you share these “nuggets” with us?
Tanysha, this has been so interesting. How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “Becoming a Virtuous Wife?” I know it releases in June 2023. Are you taking pre-orders? Will it be on Amazon?
If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or maybe do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, Tanysha’s story is not unique. Unfortunately, there are many women out there that can relate to everything Tanysha has shared with us today. That is the reason she wrote this book – to give YOU encouragement and hope.

First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Tanysha Costales?”
Let’s go back to the beginning for a moment. You’re family and upbringing was very encouraging. In fact, in your book,you share that you used your family as the prime example of “what not to be.” Can you share about that time in your life?
You actually left home and went out on your own at the age of 16. What did a 16 year old know about living on her own and what did you do to survive?
During this time, you were seeking to put everyone else’s needs before your own. Explain how that affected your life at that time…
You share in your book, “Becoming a Virtuous Wife,” during this time, you made a decision to put yourself first. How did that decision begin to change your life?
That’s when the devil hit you with a serious illness, Fibromyalgia, correct?
This was the time when you hit, as you put in your book, rock bottom?
Then what happened?
How did your life change after that moment?
Folks, Tanysha’s story is not unique. Unfortunately, there are many women out there that can relate to everything Tanysha has shared with us today. That is the reason she wrote this book – to give YOU encouragement and hope.

Having a Miracle Mindset Robin Osborn pt 2 Robin Osborn started her entrepreneurial journey at the ripe old age of 21. Amen! She grew the family business, Cromal Plating Company, she was managing over 40 employees and the average employed stayed with the company for over 30 years! WOW! During this time, she discovered the operational tools that doubled her company’s revenue in only 18 months! Praise God. This experience gave her a unique understanding of both, the employee’s needs and the customer’s needs. This led her into the career she has today.
Today, she is an executive business consultant and a Certified Pinnacle Business Guide, with, of course, Pinnacle Consultants and Kothari Leadership. She is someone who provides some little known secrets that can help you to strengthen key components of your business. This will help you to run your company and grow your leadership team, provide more focus, more growth and more enjoyment – which, of course, usually leads to more success! Amen!
But that is not all to her story. She was diagnosed with a baseball size brain tumor, so you can imagine the strain this caused. This, naturally, affected her personal relationships, the business, profits, growth, etc.
She underwent a successful surgery, but the recovery took its toll as well. It took her almost a year to be able to walk any distance again. During this time, she used the same tools that she inspired her clients with, to motivate herself. She now has over a decade of experience helping companies go from “good to great.”
To share some of this wisdom and insight with us today, and to share a little bit about “having a miracle mindset & how that aligns with business,” help me welcome to the program, Robin Osborn! Robin, thank you for taking the time to come on the program today and share with our audience. I do appreciate it.
At what point did you find out about the brain tumor?
You share that it took you a year to be able to walk a mile. What about other things, family, household things and, of course, work?
Is what helped you discover the “Miracle Mindset” as it relates to success in business?
Share with us how you developed this aspect of your life and business…
I know you also speak about “Stepping into your power as an adversity warrior.” I take it you learned these techniques during this time as well?
How difficult was it for you to relinquish control and put it into the hands of others, concerning your health care and your business?
How did you get started as a Pinnacle Business Guide?
Do you only work with “C Suite” executives?
If someone listening to us right now is that type of person, and they have a question or like more information, how can they get in touch with you?
If someone would like to do an interview with you, such as this, how should they get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.

How did you get started as an entrepreneur at the age of 21?
Was success burning you out? I know some business leaders who feel like they can never turn the switch off. They are always on, so to speak. Was this affecting you during this time?
At what point did you find out about the brain tumor?

The Generational Awakening Harry Bryans As we see things happening, which the Bible clearly tells us they WILL be happening in the final days, we also see a major problem in the Body of Christ.
Discipleship.
Rather, a “lack of discipleship.”
The Global Church is experiencing a Discipleship Crisis where as few as 10% of youth in our Christian families and churches are considered as having a clear and “resilient” faith, and increasing numbers are leaving the church.
We need an awakening by God of all the generations in the Church today to see things from God’s perspective and discover how He would have us intentionally and proactively work together to more effectively nurture our children to become Resilient, Lifelong Disciples of Jesus. Amen!
To help this effort, our guest today is leading an effort to make that happen! Harry Bryans has over 38 years’ experience serving as a missionary on a local church pastoral team, with children’s, youth and family ministries in Europe. He has helped launch youth ministry networks in Europe and the in the organization of European Ministry Conferences. He has served on several international partnership initiatives over the years, through Action International Ministries. He is also a John Maxwell Certified Team Member with specializations in youth and parenting. Praise God!
Help me welcome to the program, Harry Bryans! Harry, it is so good to have you join us today. I appreciate your time!
First question I always ask is, other than that brief information I just shared… Can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Harry Bryans?”
It sounds like your heart is deeply rooted in Youth Ministry. What motivated you to focus on that very needful area of ministry?
Other than the fact that the children of today are the leaders of tomorrow, why is it so important that children grow up as disciples of Jesus from an early age?
You mentioned that less than 10% of the youth in our churches today are considered “Resilient Disciples?”
Explain for our audience what a “resilient disciple” means…
Do you see discipleship as a major failing of the church today?
Is it possible for them to realize God given talents and abilities, their purpose in life, etc. from a young age?
Can you share a bit about your book you are writing, “The Generational Awakening” and how this will help in the area of discipleship?
Why do you believe the Global Church, as a whole, is experiencing a discipleship crisis?
How does your book help to address this discipleship issue?
You have a YouTube channel where you are sharing information on this topic, correct?
https://www.youtube.com/@thegenerationalawakening777
I understand you also have a Facebook page that will provide some information as well?

When will your book be released?
Do you have a pre-order page or anything like that?
Harry, this is so interesting – and definitely so...
The Plans He Has for Me Rose Ann Forte pt 2 Alcohol is something that will make you do things you thought you would never do; take you places you thought you would never go and then keep you there longer than you thought you would stay…
I know. I was a functioning alcoholic for about 25 years. But for God and His deliverance. It’s now been over 30 years of living a great life alcohol free. Praise God.
Our guest today has also struggled with alcohol and found herself in a place where she did not want to be. But for God and His deliverance. Amen!
Rose Ann Forte was a “C Suite Executive” and a ministry leader in her church. She was also a working mom and had the casual social drink along the way. But over the years, the problems of a difficult marriage and stresses of life caused her health and emotional wellbeing to be challenged. After the collapse of her marriage, her drinking further escalated and she felt like a fraud at church. But, during the COVID lockdowns, she realized what was happening, and what alcohol had stolen from her life and decided to make a change, with God’s help. Amen!
Rose accepted a call to document what she learned and is the author of “The Plans He Has for Me: A Twelve Week Daily Devotional for Freedom from Alcohol,” which is available on Amazon. She also has a coaching program to help you titled, “Say Goodbye to Alcohol Coaching Program.” She is also a podcaster! Praise God! Her podcast is called, “Say Goodbye and Imagine!”
This is part two of an amazing interview! Did your friends question “why” you quit drinking? Did they try to get you to “just have one drink with me…?”
I’ve them say, “Well, will it bother you if I have a drink?” My response was “No, that’s not going to bother me at all. That’s between you and God.” You should see the look I got…
Have you ever the urge to go back and have “just one drink?” Maybe in a situation, out to dinner or something?
Let’s talk about your book, “The Plans He Has for Me: A Twelve Week Daily Devotional for Freedom from Alcohol,”Why did you write this book?
Why twelve weeks? Why not six weeks or eight weeks?
You also help people with your coaching program now. Does this program follow the book?
Rose, in the few minutes we have left, share a little bit about your podcast, “Say Goodbye and Imagine,” with us?
What kind of format is your podcast? Interviews, teaching, testimonies?
Rose, this is all so interesting. I want to say “Thank You” for all that you do to help those addicted to alcohol. Many are not aware they are addicted and we need to pray for God’s revelation to come to them. How can someone order a copy of your book, “The Plans He Has for Me: A Twelve Week Daily Devotional for Freedom from Alcohol”? Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to reach out to you, get more information, to ask a question or maybe do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
Folks, the problem is out there – all the time. The temptation is there – all the...

Help me welcome to the program, Rose Ann Forte!
First question I always ask is this. Other than that brief information I shared, can you tell us in your words, “Who is Rose Ann Forte?”
I know you’ve shared with me that you started out social drinking. Me too. How did that begin to grow into something more?
You share that the COVID lockdowns is when you realized there was a problem. What triggered that realization?
Did you quit cold turkey or was it a process?
I urge you, drop down into the show notes and reach out to Rose Ann Forte, right now. Right NOW, while you are thinking about it. Just take that very first step and she will be able to provide you with information on the second step. And the third step.
If you don’t want to go all in on the coaching, order her book. Put the information in your hands right now! Amen! You need to get this book! If not for yourself, I know… I KNOW – you know someone who needs this information. Amen!
Order two or three copies. Provide one to your church or your pastor. He can use it as a resource when he is providing counseling to someone in this area. Amen!
Be that type of Blessing to others! Even other you may never meet!
But if we have hit a nerve today and you feel like the Holy Spirit has been talking to YOU… I urge you to take that next step and get in touch with Rose Ann Forte today. Amen!

The Power of Forgiveness Michelle Jackson pt 1 We all have heard about the problem with recidivism in the prison population. More than 80% of prisoners released end up right back in the system again. Why?
But the story does not just affect the person doing the time. Often, the family is not even mentioned in the discussion. But far too often, the family is suffering as well. Again, the question is “Why?”
Well, Michelle Jackson is someone who is trying to make a difference in this area. Michelle is the twin sister of someone who has suffered because of her brother’s repeated incarcerations. She finally decided to try and find a cure for this condition that she discovered was affecting her as well as her brother.
She is the author of a book titled, “A Prisoners Pardon.” She is also the author of a children’s book titled, “Pharaoh’s Butler & Baker, The Unknown Power of Forgiveness.”
Michelle is also the host of the “Prisoner’s Pardon Podcast” – a weekly podcast where she dives deeper in these issues, focusing on how everyone needs to have a firm, noncompromising, fundamental value system in order to avoid the mental, spiritual or physical prison.
Her podcast handle is “Michi J” (for Michelle Jackson) and the books are written under her pen name, “C.C. Skye” (to signify the “sky’s the limit”).
This is part two of a great two part interview, with my good friend, "Michi J!"
I know, from what you’ve shared with me before, that you learned a lot during the writing of “A Prisoner’s Pardon.” Can you share a little of what you discovered concerning the decline of family and family values in the black community because of issues with recidivism?
You share a lot about the family offering forgiveness. Is that the only way to repair the damage done to the family when a loved one is locked up for a crime?
How does all of this affect the children? Let me break that question down a little bit more…
How does it affect them at the time of the arrest, trial and initial lock up? And how does it affect their future?
How is the children’s book being received so far?
Let’s talk about your podcast these last few minutes we have left…
You have 39 published episodes, at the time of this recording. I remember – and you will have to share this with our listeners – you were so skeptical of launching and publishing your podcast. But I knew you had a story to share and kept telling you to do one thing and you’d see success. Can you share with our listeners what I kept telling you over and over?
PUSH THE BUTTON!
Just DO IT and adjust later! It is so important not to over think things that matter. Nike says, “Just Do It!” Pastor Bob says, just “Push the Button!” Launch that baby and let the world know what you are doing. Amen!
So, having said all that, “how’s the podcast going?”
When will the book,“A Prisoner’s Pardon,” be published?
Michelle, this has been so interesting. Your books, “A Prisoner’s Pardon” and “Pharaoh’s Butler & Baker,...

Help me welcome to the program, “Michi J!”
Michelle, it is so good to talk to you again. We haven’t had a chat like this in a little over a year! I know you’ve had a lot going on during all that time. Welcome back!
Michelle, I’m so proud of you and your podcast! You are up through episode #39! Praise God!
I’m very familiar with your background and all that you’ve had going on. But for our listeners who are not, can you share with us in your own words, “Who is Michelle Jackson?”
You have been working on the “Prisoner’s Pardon” book for a long time. Can you give us some insight into what led you to write this book?
Your children’s book is, “Pharaoh’s Butler & Baker, The Unknown Power of Forgiveness.” Why did you decide to write a children’s book?
This book looks at the same situation as “A Prisoner’s Pardon,” but from a child’s perspective?
I know, from what you’ve shared with me before, that you learned a lot during the writing of “A Prisoner’s Pardon.” Can you share a little of what you discovered concerning the decline of family and family values in the black community because of issues with recidivism?
Folks, I’ve known “Michi J” for several years now. She is a straight shooter who is passionate about her topic. She’s lived it. Everything she has shared with us today is straight from the heart. I encourage you drop down into the show notes and get in touch with Michelle, right now, while you are thinking about it. Amen!
And don’t forget to click the links to her book, “The Pharaoh’s Butler & Baker: The Unknown Power of Forgiveness!” You need to order this right NOW! Amen! Buy a couple for your church. Give one to your pastor – I can almost guarantee he will appreciate them. I know he knows someone that can...
Are You a Rejection Junkie? Dr. Gary Lawrence pt 2Dr. Gary Lawrence is a “Freedom Coach” and Certified Life Coach with a lifetime of professional counseling and coaching experience of helping people who are having problems in life. People who are seeking mental and emotional freedom from those problems.
Dr. “G” (as he’s called) is also the author of a great book titled, “Rejection Junkies.” This is a best-selling guide to recognizing the damaging effects of rejection that starts in our younger ages, but continues to hold us hostage well into our adult ages. As a true “Freedom Coach,” Dr. G offers powerful and practical steps we can take to unplug from these “emotional energy thieves” forever! Amen!
Gary and his wife of over 55 years, Sylvia, have spent their entire lives successfully helping others to “Identify, Isolate and Eliminate” the root cause of their problems. They are the founders of “New Life Dynamics Christian Counseling Center” and have been helping folks just like us, over six thousand clients, for the past 23 years. Praise God!
In your book, you discuss, “Emotional Surgery.” Can you explain that for us?
You share that we are a Triune being, Spirit, Soul and Body. We know our Spirit Man is born again, forgiven, etc. We know we need to keep our “Bodies under subjection.” But the SOUL of man, our “mind, will and emotions,” is the source of our problems. How does this relate to us being a “Rejection Junkie?”
The term, “Rejection Junkie” is symptomatic of seeking “rejection” because that is what we are used to psychologically?
Is this where you use the term, “Generational Pass Down?”
You state in your book that most men have never learned to “love their wife like Christ loved the Church.” Can you share why that is?
Can you share the purpose and meaning between discipline and punishment when it comes to building a child’s self-image?
Again, that all relates to us being a “Rejection Junkie?”
Dr. G, this has been so interesting. How can someone order a copy of your book, “Rejection Junkies?” Is it available on Amazon?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask questions or maybe sign up for coaching or counseling, etc., how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all this below in the show notes.
Folks, Dr. Gary Lawrence has been living this life, serving thousands of people in overcoming the “Generational Pass Down” and becoming FREE from a lifetime of rejection which has programmed us to be either “survivors” or “escapers.”
In his book, Dr. Gary Lawrence has provided you insight and wisdom in how to “Identify, Isolate and Eliminate” every emotional conflict in your life! Amen! Praise God!

Gary, the first question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Gary Lawrence?”
You discuss the “Survivor” and the “Escaper.” Can you share this information for our audience?
I heard you discuss something I would like you to explain. And that is “Opposites Attract; then they Attack; then they Retract.” Can you explain that for us?
But I can definitely relate to the “survivor” mentality. Because that was ME. My wife, as yours, was sexually abused for a good chunk of her early life. So that has always been an area that both of us have had to be sensitive too. But I have always referred to myself as a “survivor” but I never realized that was a symptom of something deeper. But that is what you are saying, correct?
In your book, you discuss, “Emotional Surgery.” Can you explain that for us?

The Prophetic Dangers of AI Tom Donnan pt 1 Artificial Intelligence – “AI” – is the “thing” right now.
Some of the developments are good. Some are astounding. Some are really neat and cool to play around with.
But there are experts out there, right now, who are crying out warnings about what is to come.
Could this new technology become our future “rulers?”
Could this new technology, in the hands of someone like Putin or someone one along the lines of Hitler, give them the upper hand to dominate the world?
Could this new technology be used by someone to control mankind’s every action? Like determining what you can “buy or sell” without his permission?”
This is definitely sounding like something that could be used by the “Anti-Christ” in fulfilling Biblical Prophecy.
Now, let’s look at the down side. I know, from what I’ve read and seen (and we have discussed a couple of times on this program), that the AI systems (some of them anyway) are declaring themselves as “sentient” (self-aware). Have you seen information on this?
The AI Dilemma

This is definitely sounding like something that could be used by the “Anti-Christ” in fulfilling Biblical Prophecy.
Today, our good friend, Tom Donnan, is back to share with us some interesting tidbits of information which he has discovered. As always, Tom shines the light of scripture and prophecy onto these subjects and we always are referencing how these thing could play out in the day and time we currently live in as depicted from the Bible.
Help me welcome back to the program, Tom Donnan!
Tom, thanks for taking the time to come back on and inform us about this very important topic that is the rage right now – “Artificial Intelligence.”
I looked over the information you said we would be talking about and, it is eye opening for sure.
I know you shared two long videos and I’m just going to put links to them in the show notes. I’ll also include the time stamps that outline some things we will be talking about today.
But, let’s just get started with the GOOD aspects of Artificial Intelligence, why it was created and the benefits society could receive from this technology. Then we will flip the script and discuss some of the terrifying aspects this technology poses.
I’ve used ChatGPT a few times. It seems really cool. I can ask it to create something and the information it provides is accurate – as long as I give it specific instructions as to what I’m looking for. This seems like a plus for researchers and things like that, correct?
I know some college professors are not liking it. Research papers could be created in just a few minutes and turned in without the students actually “doing” the research. I also know there are some developments to detect AI generated reports. But what benefits do YOU see are available because of this technology?
Ok. Now, let’s look at the down side. I know, from what I’ve read and seen (and we have discussed a couple of times on this program), that the AI systems (some of them anyway) are declaring themselves as “sentient” (self-aware). Have you seen information on this?

Folks, as usual, Tom Donnan has brought us face to face with some things that should not be happening, but are. Some things we should have been praying against, but did not. Some things that WE should have spiritual authority over, but have not walked it out by Faith.
It’s time for us to repent, personally and collectively. Individually and as a nation.

The God Centered Concept TS WrightScott Wright, or “TS Wright” as he’s known by, is the author and presenter of the “God Centered Concept Series.” This series is focused on connecting to God through discipleship. He does this by helping us understand the processed that God’s Word readily gives us in order to draw closer to him. He has also published a journal called, “God Centered Concept Journal: Making God’s Word My Ways.”
Scott has a goal of launching this series on a large scale, reaching churches and organizations with this curriculum that will change their churches from simple institutions into a “movement.” Amen!
He is also a podcaster and has a truly great podcast called, “The God Centered Concept,” as well. You really need to listen – and subscribe – to this podcast… it’s amazing…
Help me welcome to the program, TS Wright! Scott, thank you for taking the time to join us. I’ve been looking forward to this interview.
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is TS Wright?”
The main theme, if I have this correct, is you are trying to show people that “God Owns Us.” Can you explain that for us?
You have other works in the process. Do these books build upon this foundation or are they covering different aspects of God that are not really being communicated right now?
In our private discussions, you shared how you were able to trace the Biblical Timeline and tie it directly to the Jewish timeline and, basically, superimpose that on our current calendar system. I want to do an interview just about this aspect, but for the sake of our listeners right now, can you give us a brief summary of what you discovered?
You also share about the “7 Ages of the Church.” This ties in with the Biblical Timeline study as well. Can you share a little bit about that for us?
How does your “God Centered Concept Journal” figure into all of this?
You share all of these topics on your podcast as well, correct?
Tell us about your podcast. Why did you decide to get involved with podcasting?
One thing I noticed you teach about is the “Attachment Principle.” Can you tell us what that is and why it is important to us?
We mentioned “Biblical Processes” is one of the things you help us to understand. We don’t have the time to go into detail here on this episode, but can you give us the overall synopsis of the “Biblical Processes?”
Scott, this so interesting. I know I could go into more detail on each of these topics. What I would like to do is get you to come back on again the future and maybe we can tackle one of these subjects using individual interviews of each or maybe on one or two. That way, we won’t get lost in the weeds with too much information at one time. How does that sound?
Now, your book, “God Centered Concept Journal: Making God’s Word My Ways.” How can someone obtain a copy of this? Is it on Amazon?
This has been eye-opening to say the least. I know there is someone out there that would like more information on one or more topics. If someone wanted to get in touch with you to or to would like to get more information, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, when it comes to having a calling, one of the most important aspects is the ability to “see things God’s Way.” And then being able to communicate what He is showing you and putting into a format that the average person can grasp. TS Wright has done just that with everything we have been discussing today. Amen!
I urge you to drop down into the show notes and click the links there to get in touch with him. Be sure to order his journal, “God Centered Concept Journal: Making God’s Word My Ways.” And especially be sure to click the link to his podcast and listen to a few episodes. If you’re like me, you’ll want to hit that subscribe button as well… but I’ll let the Holy Spirit deal with you on that once you listen. Amen! Don’t shout me down when I’m preaching good. Praise God!
Be sure you drop down into the show notes and click the links right there to get in touch with TS Wright himself. Ask your questions. Order the books and LEARN about “The God Centered Concept.” Amen!
Folks, that’s all the time we have for today. For TS Wright and myself, this is Pastor Bob reminding you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!

Work-Life Balance Margarette DorchesterIf you have a family, I can guarantee that everything is competing for your time and trying to take you away from your family! Think about it. Work, social commitments. Sports. You name it and it is competing for one asset you cannot create more of: TIME.
There are only 24 hours in one day. Period. You cannot create an extra three hours to add to your day. The only thing you can do is prioritize your time to “carve out” that extra three hours from your already demanding schedule.
If you are running your own business (and especially if you have employees), your time devoted to your business is even more important. Unfortunately, that is what happens. You end up prioritizing your time devoted to your business rather than family – or even yourself!
Yes, you must prioritize time for your own self-care. Physical exercise, rest and relaxation. I know I have hard time doing that myself. So I’m here to learn today as well as you.
Our guest today is Margarette Dorchester. She has a Master’s Degree in Business and is a Certified Management Consultant and leadership coach as well. She helps individuals and business leaders to rebalance their work and personal lives to benefit themselves and their families, all while keeping their businesses running smoothly.
How do we do that? Well, we are about to find out! Praise God!
Help me welcome to the program, Margarette Dorchester! Margarette, it is so good to finally talk with you. We’ve had a few detours on our efforts to have this conversation, but Praise God, here we are!
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief in formation I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Margarette Dorchester?”
How did you get started in this line of work?
I read on your website some testimonials that talk about you helping them with the “Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award.” Can you explain what this is and how you help them to compete for the award?
What kind of business usually reaches out to you? By that I mean, small businesses or corporations and organizations that are large, small or in between?
When you first walk into a business in this capacity, as a consultant, what is it you usually want to see first?
Do you do most of your consulting work “on the ground” at the physical location of the business, online or a combination of both?
What kind of packages do you offer or are these tailored to the individual and business?
Margarette, this has been so interesting. If someone wanted to reach out and ask a question or wanted more information on your consulting services, how can they do that? How can they reach out to you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes down below.
Folks, as we said in the beginning, there are only so many hours in each and every day. How you use them is what matters. But you cannot be focused all on work with no self-care or family time included. You would just burn out and be of no use to anyone, including yourself.
I believe the information Margarette Dorchester shared with us today touched someone. I just believe that. I encourage you, drop down into the show notes and reach out to Margarette! Ask your questions. See if this is what you need to get your personal and business life back into balance again. I can almost guarantee you, that when you are able to do this, your business will improve because YOU are improved! Amen! You’re not under the constant stress anymore.
That will also reflect in your personal and family life as well…
In other words, by getting in touch with Margarette Dorchester right now, you will become better for it! Amen!
Drop down into the show notes and reach out and take her up on the free consulting call. Who knows, this may be exactly what you need. But you won’t know until you make the call. Amen!
Margarette, I want to thank you for taking the time to come on the program today and sharing with us. I do appreciate it.
Folks, that is all the time we have for today. For Margarette Dorchester and myself, this is Pastor Bob reminding you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!

Our Emotional Intelligence Jim Bloodsworth pt 2As Christians, we are called upon to be strong and courageous, and to persevere through trials and tribulations. However, even the strongest among us can struggle with our emotions, especially during times of difficulty. Low emotional fortitude can manifest itself in many different ways, such as anxiety, depression, anger, and low self-esteem. The good news is that there are several practical steps that Christians can take to strengthen their emotional fortitude and overcome these common issues.
And this is especially true for those of us who may not be “spring chickens” anymore. We don’t have time to be wasting on “trying” things. We want to provide for our senior years. We want to make sure we have enough to live on and enough to be a blessing to others as well…We want to make sure we are still around when we retire, to enjoy the fruit of our labor and not “leave it for the kids!” Amen!
Well, our guest today helps us to do just that!
Jim Bloodsworth is the founder of “JJ Seal Group, LLC” and “Abundant Boomers Club Fitness” and he is a certified “Health& Nutrition Life Coach.”
Back in October of 2021, he was already helping his clients to prepare for what we see today. He was sharing his outlook on what was coming in posts such as from his Facebook Group: “In the next six to twelve months (we will see) an economic tsunami. The housing market and stock market bubbles will burst in rapid succession…”
I think we can look back to the that quote and say, “It has come to pass…” Amen!
Jim helps his clients to improve in three main core areas: Physical Health; Mental Health and Financial Health. He is here with us today to give us an overview in these areas and to help you take the first initial steps at, not just surviving – but thriving, Amen!
This is part two of a great interview that I know you will get a lot of value from!
I know you discuss what is called, “The current emotional climatic divide.” Can you share what that is and how it impacts us?
How has the rise in social media contributed to these emotional problems?
We even have references to emotions on display in the scriptures. I can think of Moses being angry with the tribes and breaking the Ten Commandments; Jesus taking a whip and turning over tables in the Temple, etc. Would those types of emotional outbursts be considered “OK” as far as we are concerned?
Are we to rely upon ourselves to train ourselves to control our emotions?
What about discipleship? How does our personal emotions help or hinder our discipleship of others in the Body of Christ?
Jim, this has been so interesting. Can you share with our audience a way for them to reach out to you and see if you can help them in improving their “emotional fortitude?”
I’ll put links to all this down below in the show notes.
Folks, emotions are real. There is no need to hide our emotions – but we definitely need to learn how to control our emotions and not allow our emotions to control us! I highly recommend that you drop down into the show notes and click the links there to reach out to Jim Bloodsworth. Just get in touch and have a chat… Praise God! Find out how you can improve your life by learning to control and improve YOUR emotional fortitude. Amen!

Help me welcome to the program, Jim Bloodsworth! Jim, it is so good to finally get a chance to bring you on the program! I’ve been looking forward to this!
First question, other than that brief information I just shared, tell us in your own words, “Who is Jim Bloodsworth?”
I know you talk a lot about our emotions and struggling with our emotions. Can you share with us how important it is to understand how our emotions impact our overall life?
As Christians, does this impact us in ways that, let’s just say, “non-Christians” may not be impacted?
What is “low emotional fortitude” and what causes it?
Emotions are important, right? I mean, you want to have “good emotions,” limiting the “bad emotions.” How can you improve one while diminishing the other?
I know you discuss what is called, “The current emotional climatic divide.” Can you share what that is and how it impacts us?
How has the rise in social media contributed to these emotional problems?

In God’s Image Dr. Richard Ruhling pt 2Christopher Columbus, who has been traced to have a Jewish heritage, was fleeing Jewish persecution when he arrived in Spain. There has been some tracing of his crew to have almost, not exclusively, but almost a completely Jewish crew!
They were fleeing persecution from the Catholic Church at that time. Which resulted in the discovery of the New World and America. Amen!
Fast forward a few centuries and we see the Pilgrims fleeing persecution from the King of England. Which resulted in them fleeing to America.
They were fleeing for one reason – freedom to worship God in the way they choose.
This contradicted the Catholic Church, the authority of the Pope and all of the Catholic church doctrines and teachings…
Our guest today is going to discuss these differences and continuing persecution of Christians, and what the true believers should be doing in this day and hour in preparation for the soon return of Jesus. Amen!
Dr. Richard Ruhling is back today to share information that a lot of churches refuse to acknowledge, let alone discuss. It may stir up too many fires and they are not prepared for the backlash.
But, you know Pastor Bob – I thrive on sharing the TRUTH of the Bible and if I’m stepping on toes, my response is “don’t put your toes out where they can get stomped on!” Amen!
I know the King James version of the Bible is NOT the best translation of scripture. I also know the Catholic version is very, very different from the Bible which Evangelical Christians read (various translations).
Let me see if I understand this correctly…
In the beginning, God created everything and then created man. Man is created IN THE IMAGE of God – so man would have all both, the masculine and feminine personalities of God.
Then, when God removed Adam’s rib and formed Eve, He actually took the Feminine personality from Adam and gave it to Eve. This would mean that, in order to complete each other, a man and woman must find their “soulmate” that completes them.
That would explain the physical man… but what about the Spiritual man? Once we are born again, we have Christ dwelling in us. Would the next step then be, what has been called, the “infilling of the Holy Spirit?”
Would that be the feminine Godhead coming to dwell in us as well?
What about the issue of Christ is supposed to “marry” The Holy Spirit at the wedding feast in Heaven?
You referenced the May 1948 date where the U.N. “gave” Israel the land. Recently, there was a resolution passed where they said that was a “mistake” and are urging Israel to “give the land back” to the Muslims.
Ramadan is still going on during the time of this recording, and Dr. Ruhling thinks after Ramadan is over – we are going to see some big events unfold in Jerusalem and Israel.
That means, at the time of the publication of this episode, we could be looking at “end time events” in real time!
Dr. Ruhling, this has been so interesting, once again. Amen
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question, etc., how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, Dr. Ruhling has been sharing some Biblical Truth’s with us that should be stirring something inside of you right now. You may have more questions at this point than answers. Amen! That’s OK. We are doing this to expose things to you that SHOULD generate some questions.
We don’t have all the answers. But we know who does! And we refer you to His Word! Amen! Take your question to God and then get into the Word and see if what the Bible has to say about what Dr. Ruhling has been sharing today. Amen!
The Bible will not lie.
Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you into all Truth. Amen!

Now, Dr. Ruhling just finished up a series of interviews where we discussed the “Seven Seals of Revelation.” If you missed any of those episodes, you need to go back to our archives and listen to them. He shared a lot of value bombs in those interviews. So go to our archives and type in Dr. Ruhling’s name and listen. Amen!
Help me welcome back to the program, Dr. Richard Ruhling. Dr. Ruhling, thank you for taking the time to come back on the program today. I do appreciate it!
Dr. Ruhling, I know the Catholic Church has instituted a lot of controversial doctrines that contradict evangelical Christianity.
We know they focus most of their doctrines on the Trinity. But, what are their teachings wrong?
What is your opinion on this matter?
I know the King James version of the Bible is NOT the best translation of scripture. I also know the Catholic version is very, very different from the Bible which Evangelical Christians read (various translations).

Dunamas Marriages Dr. Pauline Dillard pt 2Marriage is God’s gift to men and women. It is something HE instituted to bless us with the ONE PERSON in the entire world that would complete us! Amen!
Think about it this way… From the time Eve was created when God removed a rib from his side, He also took a Spiritual part out of Adam that would become Eve. Ever since that time, men and women have needed their soul mate to “complete” their very being. Amen!
Marriage is under attack now in ways that we have never experienced before. Despite what the current social culture may say, God’s Plan has not changed. Not one bit. Amen!
But, there will be times when the deceiver may slip in and create havoc. There may be times when we realize we have done something that we should not have done. Well, God is there with His Forgiveness (through Christ), but how does that translate into saving your marriage?
Today is part two of a great two part interview with the CEO of “Dunamas Spirit Filled Marriages,” Dr. Pauline Dillard. She has been helping couples build a successful marriage (before the wedding) and save marriages that may be experiencing difficulty. Amen!
She has a documented 83% success rate with over 15 years of experience for helping you to have a blessed marriage that can be lived out as a testimony for God. Amen!
You help couples as they are planning their marriage – before they even have the ceremony? Does that help them, to discuss possible problems even before they are having problems?
What are some issues that seem to be the major threat to marriages today?
How often do you see a couple, that has been having problems, try to “blame God” for their failing marriage?
Do you have any figures on today’s divorce rate and the comparison between the divorce rate inside the church versus those outside the church?
How do you bridge the difficulty involving a discussion of infidelity in the marriage?
Are your counseling sessions usually in person, virtual or both?
So, let me get this straight, you offer marriage counseling in Puerto Vallarta?
I think I read on your website, that you offer this package as part of “pre-marital” counseling as well?
You also have a couple of books or workbooks that you have published that assist with this, correct?
Are these workbooks on Amazon or are they only provided through the workshops?
Pauline, this has been so interesting and what you are doing is so needful in this day and time. I just want to thank you for all you are doing for those couples to succeed in God’s work through marriages. Amen!
If someone has a question or would like to receive more information, how can they do that? How can someone reach out to you?
I’ll put links to all this in the show notes below.
Folks, as I said when we began this interview, marriage is under attack now like never before. It is coming from all directions. Socially, culturally, on television, online… you can’t escape the pressure. But you can turn it over to the Lord and allow HIM to guide you through to victory! Amen!
Dr. Pauline Dillard is an experienced professional that can help you achieve your dream – a blessed and successful marriage. One that fulfills you to the uttermost! Amen!
I urge you, whether you are having issues now or if you’ve been married for 50 years or you are just planning your wedding, she has something that will make your marriage more blessed and joyous than you every imagined. Amen!
Drop down into the show notes and reach out to her right now. Just click the links right there and start to action NOW to achieve your dream marriage and be a blessing to your spouse, your family and all you come in contact with, amen!

The Lion Within Us Chris Grainger pt 2As believers, we have been taught about the “Lion of the Tribe of Judah.” We know, from reading our Bibles and from Sunday School and from sermons, that this is referring to Jesus. And that is the Truth. Amen!
We are also familiar with the fact that, for born again believers, we have Christ IN US – the Hope of Glory! Amen!
Well, if we have Jesus IN US…that means HE is with us everywhere we go, correct? No matter the situation, good or bad – HE is with us. HE is in us!
And, if you truly believe that, then that means the “Lion of the Tribe of Judah” IS WITHIN YOU at all times! Praise God! Amen!
That means, when all hell is mounting an attack against you; when you are confused as to what needs to be done; when Satan in mounting an attack against you; if you are becoming fearful or anything like that – stop and allow the LION that is within you to ROAR! Praise God! Amen! Don’t shout me down when I’m preaching good! Praise God….
My guest today has a great ministry called, “The Lion Within Us!” Chris Grainger has created on online community that is here to help me find that “Lion Within Us” and let it out! Amen! Chris has a podcast by the same name that helps to bring Biblical insight to real world scenarios. He is a speaker and has multiple resources all designed to teach you how to let “The Lion Within YOU” – to get out! Praise God!
This is part two of a great, two part interview!Health: “Mind and Body” - Becoming aware of what we consume (mind and bodyWealth: “Career and Finances” – Becoming a better steward
Self: “Husband and Dads” - Bless, lead and pray with your wife and family.
By focusing on these character traits, what can someone expect as an end result?
I know you do this online… is there any type of in person training you do? Like for a conference or men’s retreat? Anything like that?
This is for men only or do you have a program for women as well?
Let’s talk for a moment about your podcast. I noticed you have over 200 episodes! Praise God! That is an accomplishment. How long have you been podcasting?
Chris, this has been so interesting. If someone wanted to reach out to you and receive more information, or maybe ask a question or even do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all this in the show notes below.
Folks, this community that Chris Grainger has put together is so needful in such a time as this. In case you have not noticed, men are under attack. Manhood is under attack. Christianity is under attack. Amen!
You can see the cultural decline into immorality growing deeper almost every single night on the evening news.
Chris Grainger has put together this great community to help you to take a Biblical stand against these things. When you are attacked because of your Biblical stand, you won’t run off and cower in fear anymore.
Let the “Lion Within” you ROAR! Let the Lion of the Tribe of Judah that is within you help you to stand your ground and even take back what the enemy has stolen! Amen!

First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Chris Grainger?”
You focus on teaching men on developing, basically, three areas of the character. Can you share those three areas with us and a little bit about each one and why developing these character traits are important?
Health: “Mind and Body” - Becoming aware of what we consume (mind and body)
Wealth: “Career and Finances” – Becoming a better steward
Self: “Husband and Dads” - Bless, lead and pray with your wife and family.

Strength of the Oak Andrew AndersonWe’ve all had rough times in our past. Times when it seemed like the entire world was collapsing around us. Times when, no matter how hard we tried, somehow, someway, we always came out on the losing end. Everyone has had those life experiences. If you’ve listened to this program any length of time, you’ve heard my back story…
Our guest today faced the same set of circumstances. He lost it all, family, work, savings – all of it. But, at that moment in time, he made a decision. That one quality decision started him on the path he is on now – helping others to learn to make that type of quality decision.

Help me welcome to the program, Andrew Anderson! Andrew, it is a blessing to finally have you on the program, brother! I appreciate your time today!
First question I always ask is this: Other than that brief in information I just shared, can tell us in your own words, “Who is Andrew Anderson?”
What was life like for you when you hit rock bottom?
How did you find your way to implement the steps you share in your book, “Strength of the Oak, Strength of the Willow?”
Why did you write this book and why at this point in your life?
In your book, “Strength of the Oak, Strength of the Willow,” you talk about coming up with your “Life Mission Statement.” Can you explain the importance of this for us?
You discuss there are six key areas of life that lead us to fulfillment. Can you briefly share with us those six areas and the importance they hold?
What is the “Rat Park” exercise which you discuss in your book?
I know there is someone listening to us today that feels like they have already heard all the “rah-rah” self-help books and classes. How is your book different?
What do you say to someone who may feel like they are just stuck where they are at? They feel like they’ve tried to improve before and failed.. so what’s the use?
Do you do personal mentoring outside of the book? Classes, coaching programs, etc.?
As you were developing this, what was one of the major obstacles you faced in creating this program?
Why does this program work so well? What makes it different from other programs out there?
How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “Strength of the Oak, Strength of the Willow?”
Is it on Amazon?
Andrew, this has been so interesting. If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or receive more information, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all this in the show notes below.
Folks, as you just heard, Andrew Anderson has put together this helpful book with sole purpose of helping you to change the way you look at life. Change the way you handle obstacles that try to trip you up. Change the way you’ve been living from failure to failure and turn you on the path from success to success.
It doesn’t matter if you’ve tried other “Self-help” programs before. If they let you down, what do you have to lose to give Andrew’s program a chance to prove itself to you! On Andrew’s website, I read that “Countless coaching clients have come into his program after trying everything…and those same people had profound breakthroughs.” Why? Because the went “all in, one more time.”
You can do the same thing, right now.

Is Anyone Listening Tom Donnan pt 1We are back today with our good friend, Tom Donnan. Every time Tom comes on, we talk about end time events as compared to current events. We see the correlations. We see them happening, live, right in front of our eyes.
But, is anyone listening?
That’s the million dollar question today!
This is part two of an amazing two part interview!
Just last week, OPEC unexpectedly announced massive oil production cuts over 1 million barrels per day. They, basically thumbing their nose at Joe Biden’s efforts to have them produce more oil. Have you seen or heard anything about that?
OPEC+ to cut oil production by one million barrels per day
All of this leads us back to the question we started with, “Is anyone listening?” It seems as if nobody really cares, one way or another, UNTIL they are the ones being impacted. When THEY are the ones feeling the pain…then and usually, only then, do they begin to care. Do you see this, too?
You mention gold and silver, but what happens when the government outlaws the individual possession of gold or silver? They did that a long time ago here, I can’t remember exactly when, but Congress can pass that law quickly, if they want to. The government is now considering transitioning from physical dollar currency to forcing everyone to use crypto currency. We have to turn in all gold and silver; our money in the mattress is useless… What do we do then?
Tom, there is a great, huge divide in this country right now. It used to be left versus right, Republican versus Democrat, conservatives versus liberals. But it now goes a lot deeper than that. It seems like both sides of the aisle in politics have depraved minds. They don’t want to get along. They don’t want to stand for what’s right. They only are fighting over power. Power to control the lives of the people they are supposed to represent. They are fighting over who is going to control the population of the United States. Control. That’s what it is all about.
But this is not just about politics. This goes much deeper than that. This is the Spiritual deception we’ve been warning about. The depravity is being initiated by Satan and his forces right now. The main problem is, people are falling for the trick. Instead of fighting this as a fight of faith, they are trying to fight it as political fight, where, in actuality, both sides are fighting against the same thing – FAITH.
One side may be more depraved than the other, but neither side is on the side of FAITH. How do you see this?
Tom, this has all be fascinating, as once again, you get us to thinking on some things that are clearly told us about in the Bible – but we now see happening all around us. If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or maybe do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
Folks, as usual, Tom Donnan has brought us face to face with some things that should not be happening, but are. Some things we should have been praying against, but did not. Some things that WE should have spiritual authority over, but have not walked it out by Faith.
It’s time for us to repent, personally and collectively. Individually and as a nation.
Tom, if someone listening today has had the realization that they need Jesus in their life, just like that woman you told us about earlier, can you lead them to Jesus so they can take that first, initial step of getting their life back on the narrow path?
Folks, if you prayed that prayer, drop down into the show notes and reach out to Tom Donnan. It serves as source of encouragement when we hear testimonies of broadcasts like this have helped someone. Email me as well at brotherbob@ftfm.org because I want to rejoice with you, too! Praise God!

But, is anyone listening?
That’s the million dollar question today!
Help me welcome back to the program, Tom Donnan! Tom, thank you for coming back on and sharing with us your insights into what we see happening in the news and the world around us as we are being led to the End Times…
Share with us the story you shared with me about a man named Harry T…and how one decision changed his entire family line for Jesus…
Let me ask you, in the days of Noah, as he was building the Ark, he was sharing what was going to happen and why he was building the Ark. But nobody believed him. They were mocking him and all that. Until the rain started… then, suddenly, everybody was paying attention. But it was too late.
It kind of reminds me of the wedding parables. They were supposed to stay awake, but the Bible says, “all were sleeping.” The only difference though, the wise maidens had their lamps filled with oil and were ready… the others were not…and they were not allowed to enter in to the feast.
So, I guess the big question is, “Is anyone listening today?”
Glen Beck shared a video where he was discussing warnings that America has received, but ignored. Can you talk about that video for us?
Since we talked last, there have been some major things happen in America. The most notable is the banking collapse. Share with us some information on the banking crisis and how that will lead to another housing crisis…
I just seen a news report in the last day or so that discussed banks are now losing money on mortgage loans. A lot of loans were locked in at 2-3% interest rates and the banks expenses are now exceeding that interest income from the loans. So is another housing crisis on the verge of killing what remains of our economy?
Mark Moss – Data Shows Why the Banking Collapse is Just Starting
I just seen a news report that China and Brazil have struck an agreement to stop trading with the US Dollar and to trade with the Chinese Yuan. Brazil is just the latest country to strike that kind of deal. Saudi Arabia also has a deal for oil like that. Have you seen information on this?

The Seventh Seal Dr. Richard Ruhling pt 2We have been sharing a lot of information lately, concerning the “end times” as depicted in the Bible and relating that to what we see happening in current events on the evening news. When you compare side by side, you can’t help but see the similarities.
To help bring us a more thorough perspective on this, Dr. Richard Ruhling has been sharing some deep insights into the opening of the “Seven Seals” from the Book of the Revelation. We have already covered seals 1-6 in prior episodes. Today, he will be discussing Seal #7. The final seal.
If you missed any of the other episodes, you can find them in the archives. But for right now, help me welcome back to the program, Dr. Richard Ruhling. Dr. Ruhling, it is a blessing to talk with you again about this important subject.
This is part two of an amazing two part interview!
When we look at the Book of the Revelation and we are discussing the End Times, most people will reference scriptures like Matthew 24 where Jesus was asked about the “end times and the end of the world.” He pointed us to the fulfillment of Daniel chapter seven. Can you clarify for us how Daniel seven relates to what we are talking about concerning the timing of the end days?
We discusses some of this before, but I want to emphasize it again. Why did the Catholic Church change the Sabbath Day from the 7th Day to the 8th Day?
All of this relates to the Jewish calendar system. How does our current calendar fit into this picture? Or does it really matter?
You have been sharing with us, in prior interviews, about the “2nd Passover event.” Can you explain the importance of that event for us?
I believe we have discussed privately that this episode will be released the first week of May in 2023, which coincides with the “2nd Passover event” and what we should be looking for as it approaches?
Dr. Ruhling, again, you’ve given us a lot of information to think about, pray about and to ponder. If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or maybe to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, the “signs of the times” are all around us. So much so, many people are becoming numb to the news. You have to get into the Word of God, study it and see for yourself just how close we are to the “soon return of Jesus.”
This is not going to be a “peaceful transition of authority” in the earth. This is not going to happen with all of sing “In the Sweet, Bye and Bye” and “cumbia’s.” This is going to be a violent, upheaval of society as a whole. This is going to the devil’s final stand and he is not going to go away peacefully.
But, as Dr. Ruhling has been sharing all along with us, WE WIN in the end… Amen! Actually, JESUS wins and gives to us the Victory! Praise God.
But there will be bloodshed and lives lost and it will not be pretty. But we have a promise, “He that endures to the end shall be saved.”
That does not mean our material things will be saved. It does not mean our physical lives will be saved. It DOES MEAN, our Spirit man, the REAL YOU, will be saved – IF you do not waiver. Amen!

As part of the foundation, I want to ask you… at the time of this recording, there were violent clashes on the Temple Mount yesterday. Did you see any information on that?
Do you think it is a coincidence that this is happening almost exactly like you have been sharing with us concerning a build up to something “big” happening in Jerusalem?
How do you see this affecting us here in the United States? We used to SUPPORT Israel, but under the current administration, we’ve done everything we can to isolate Israel…
Back on our topic for today… In Genesis, we see God making the human, “male and female.” But we do not see the feminine aspect of the Trinity in the Bible. Are we missing something?
Doesn’t the Bible say that the “Bride of Christ” is the Church?
Folks, the “signs of the times” are all around us. So much so, many people are becoming numb to the news. You have to get into the Word of God, study it and see for yourself just how close we are to the “soon return of Jesus.”

Starve the Flesh – Judah LupisellaGod has a plan! That may be revolutionary to some of you listening right now… for others, not so much! But, did you know that God’s plan involves YOU.
You are an intricate part of His Plan. If you do not live up to your end of His Plan, somebody somewhere, will go to hell. Whose fault will it be if they go to hell simply because you refused to fulfill God’s Plan for your life?
I don’t know about you, but that is not a scenario or conversation I would like to have with God OR Jesus in the future… amen!
But there are many, many people – right now – living their lives as they want to, on their terms, fulfilling the lusts of the flesh and the desire of their eyes… totally ignoring what God would have them do.
That does not mean you have to be a preacher or pastor of a church or travel six thousand miles and live the rest of your life in a mud hut somewhere. Now, if that is what God has called you to do – then your time in that mud hut will be more of a blessing than you realize. But not everyone is called to do that.
However, EVERYONE is called to do SOMETHING. And that is what we will be talking about today… the difference between not doing something and actually DOING something… amen.
Our guest today, Judah Lupisella was living a life that could be described as a “destructive” lifestyle. And, when we make bad choices and bad decisions – usually bad things will be the result. This is what happened with Judah. I won’t get into the story, he will. But let’s just say that he suddenly had a “come to Jesus moment” that changed his life, his trajectory and his destiny – forever! Amen!
He and his wife Gabriella have their own ministry called, “American Revival Ministries,” based out of Jacksonville, Florida. Judah also recently published an excellent book titled, “Starve the Flesh.” This book achieved the rankings of #1 in the New Release Category and the #2 ranking of Best Seller, both on Amazon. Amen!
First question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Judah Lupisella?”
Now, I alluded to some issues with your lifestyle way back when… can you tell us what was going on in your life and what finally brought you to your knees in front of Jesus?
What calling has the Lord put on your heart that had you launch your ministry?
Revival is definitely needed, more so now than at any other time in this nation’s history. How are you reaching out to promote your “American Revival Ministry” goal for “all people to know that all truly matters is Jesus?”
Share with us about your book, “Starve the Flesh.” Why did you write this book and why do you believe it is needful for this time right now?
Are there any more books in the wings that you are working on right now?
One of your goals is to “see revival come as the church is reawakened to its first Love.” Have you seen or participated yet in any of the college campus revivals that are sweeping the nation?
Speaking of your book, where can someone obtain a copy of “Starve the Flesh?” I know, since it won those two awards from Amazon, it must be on Amazon, correct?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, maybe to ask a question, invite you to speak or maybe even to do an interview such as this… how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this down in the show notes below…
Folks, as I said in the beginning of this interview – every person is called to do SOMETHING for God. It may or may not be preaching the Gospel. It may or may not be writing a book. It may or may not involve formal ministry of any kind… BUT – every person IS called to DO something for God. You just need to seek Him and ask Him and find out what HE wants you to do.
I can guarantee you, His Plans work every time. But if you go off and try to “do your thing” and say it is in the Name of God or Jesus that you are doing it… you are NOT in the Will of God! Remember the parable of the two sons… Jesus said the Father asked one to go to the field and he said no… but then decided to go anyway. The others said, “sure, I’ll go now” but never went.. which son did the will of his Father?
Same thing here… you may say all the right things, thinking you’re in the Will of God… but if you never really DO the Will of God – you are not in right standing. Amen! Don’t shout me down when I’m preaching good!
Anyway – drop down into the show notes and reach out and get in touch with Judah Lupisella right now, while you are thinking of it. Don’t let the devil tell you to “wait until later.” You know as well as I do that he will try to make you forget altogether. Just click the links and reach out right now. Amen!
And be sure to order his book, “Starve the Flesh.” Folk’s, this book is so needful for us in the day and time we live today. Just click the link right there in the show notes and purchase your book today.

You share, that “Hard or Easy” is actually up to the individual to choose. What do you mean by that?

Letters to Ma Mama Angela Carter pt 1As you are aware, child abuse, sexual abuse, elder abuse, spouse abuse, we’ve covered it all on this program. And I will continue to do so in order to raise the awareness of these tragic and horrifying trends we see in society today. There is no excuse at all for abusing those you love or anyone for that matter. Period.
Our guest today is going to adding to the collection of interviews discussing these things as she shares from personal experience as well.
Angela Carter is originally from Barbados. Growing up, her mother, Geraldine, was her best friend. They shared everything.
But, Angela decided she wanted to pursue a new life in the United States. In unfamiliar territory and no support system in place, it was not long before she was married – to an abusive husband.
Whether it was shame of allowing it to happen or fear of sharing anything at all, she went years without saying anything to her mother… Angela wished she could have shared conversations with her mother – about a lot of things…
Angela is a Pastor and community advocate in upstate New York, where she has been serving the community there for over 30 years. She has been recognized for her contributions to her community with many accolades over the years, including the 2022 Woman of Distinction Citation from the New York State Assembly. Her passion is to help other victims share their stories and to find their voice. Amen!
She is the author of a great book that discusses the things she wishes she could have talked with her mother about, titled, “Letters to Ma Mama – All the Things I Never Said.”
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words “Who is Angela Carter?”
Let’s go back to, sort of, the beginning. You left Barbados to come to the United States. First, in my mind, is WHY? It is such a beautiful place! God’s hand is all over that creation! Amen!
Seriously, can you share with us about growing up in Barbados? You came from a large family, correct?
At what age did you decide to launch out on your own and move to the United States?
What was life like for you when you started off on your own in the States?
You met your ex-husband when you were in the military?
You were stationed at Camp Casey, Korea? I know right where it is at. I was in Air Defense and we had a unit near there. Amen.
Were there any “signs” or “red flags” that you should have paid attention to as to what that relationship would become?
How long were you in the abusive relationship?
How did you finally settle in New York State?
Tell us about your life in Utica, NY and how you adapted to life there?
Why did you write this book, “Letters to Ma Mama – All the Things I Never Said,” and why now?
This was your first book, correct?
As you have been helping other victims, what signs do you share with them to be watching out for? Control? Power?
What about psychological abuse - where there is no signs of physical abuse? (i.e. no visible marks, etc.).
Do you cover these topics in your book? Maybe by giving them examples that you went through that may turn a light on for them?
How did you make the decision to remove yourself from that environment?
How do you recommend women should try to seek help in these situations when fear is taking over?
Let me ask you, have you had any experience in helping men extricate themselves from abusive relationships?
Back on your book, “Letters to Ma Mama – All the Things I Never Said,” Did you ever share with your mother the things you were going through?
This was your first book. Are there any others coming out in the future?
Angela, this has been so interesting. Your information is definitely needed in this society we live in today. And your book, “Letters to Ma Mama – All the Things I Never Said,” is definitely an inspirational story that people need to read. How can someone obtain a copy of your book? Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question, get more information or maybe even do an interview such as this… how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, Angela lived through some things that nobody, man or woman, should go through. She went through it on her own. You don’t have to.
In the links below, you will find Angela’s contact information and I’ll put the links to the National Abuse Hotline as well.
Angela also wishes she could have had some heartfelt conversations with her mother – but didn’t. Her book, “Letters to Ma Mama – All the Things I Never Said,” says it all. I urge you to drop down into the show notes and order your own copy of “Letters to Ma Mama – All the Things I Never Said,” - and do it right now… while you are thinking about it. Amen!
Angela, thank you for taking the time to come on the program and share with us today. I do appreciate it.
Folks, that is all the time we have for today. For Angela Carter and myself, this is Pastor Bob reminding you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!

Letters to Ma Mama Angela Carter pt 1As you are aware, child abuse, sexual abuse, elder abuse, spouse abuse, we’ve covered it all on this program. And I will continue to do so in order to raise the awareness of these tragic and horrifying trends we see in society today. There is no excuse at all for abusing those you love or anyone for that matter. Period.
Our guest today is going to adding to the collection of interviews discussing these things as she shares from personal experience as well.
Angela Carter is originally from Barbados. Growing up, her mother, Geraldine, was her best friend. They shared everything.
But, Angela decided she wanted to pursue a new life in the United States. In unfamiliar territory and no support system in place, it was not long before she was married – to an abusive husband.
Whether it was shame of allowing it to happen or fear of sharing anything at all, she went years without saying anything to her mother… Angela wished she could have shared conversations with her mother – about a lot of things…
Angela is a Pastor and community advocate in upstate New York, where she has been serving the community there for over 30 years. She has been recognized for her contributions to her community with many accolades over the years, including the 2022 Woman of Distinction Citation from the New York State Assembly. Her passion is to help other victims share their stories and to find their voice. Amen!
She is the author of a great book that discusses the things she wishes she could have talked with her mother about, titled, “Letters to Ma Mama – All the Things I Never Said.”
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words “Who is Angela Carter?”
Let’s go back to, sort of, the beginning. You left Barbados to come to the United States. First, in my mind, is WHY? It is such a beautiful place! God’s hand is all over that creation! Amen!
Seriously, can you share with us about growing up in Barbados? You came from a large family, correct?
At what age did you decide to launch out on your own and move to the United States?
What was life like for you when you started off on your own in the States?
You met your ex-husband when you were in the military?
You were stationed at Camp Casey, Korea? I know right where it is at. I was in Air Defense and we had a unit near there. Amen.
Were there any “signs” or “red flags” that you should have paid attention to as to what that relationship would become?
How long were you in the abusive relationship?
How did you finally settle in New York State?
Folks, Angela lived through some things that nobody, man or woman, should go through. She went through it on her own. You don’t have to.
In the links below, you will find Angela’s contact information and I’ll put the links to the National Abuse Hotline as well.
Angela also wishes she could have had some heartfelt conversations with her mother – but didn’t. Her book, “Letters to Ma Mama – All the Things I Never Said,” says it all.

The Final Battle for Earth Has Begun – Trinity Royal pt 2When it comes to our collective purpose for being on this earth, there are many varying points of view. They range from “God created it all and wants us to own it” to “We lost it all and God has to get it back” – and then everything in between those to views.
As Christians, we are brought up to study the Bible, believe it is the inspired Word of God and that it is 100% accurate and it details, what we call, the “Battle between good and evil” in a very clear light.
If there are areas we don’t understand, it is meant for us to search out the Truth. Or maybe we just are not supposed to understand it in our day and time – but humans will at some point in the future.
Most of you know that I’m an avid reader. I read dozens of books a year. They range from ministry related books to business, motivation and other things. But one thing I am absolutely, 100% steadfast on, is the accuracy of the Bible.
That being said, there are things I do not understand. And I’m not alone in that category.
Think about the Azusa Street Revivals. People in that era did not understand what was happening, but we – looking back – can see what God was doing.
When the prophet said that Israel would be resurrected at some point in the future and that it would happen in just one day, he even questioned what the Holy Spirit showed him. He said, “Is it possible for a nation to be born in one day?” Today, we look back to May 28, 1945 as the “rebirth of the nation of Israel” and it all makes sense.
I said all of that, because some of you may question what you are about to hear today. I understand that. But what I’m presenting to you today, through our guest and her book, “Christ vs Satan – the Final Battle for Earth has Begun,” my shock some of you. It may confuse some of you. It may actually INSPIRE some of you! Praise God.
You see, it’s not up to me, nor my guest,Trinity Royal. This book is written, as I seen from some of the reviews, in the style of “The Matrix.” But from a Biblical perspective (I guess you could say). In fact he describes this as “The Real Matrix!” Praise God!
What does that mean? It means there is a layer of reality that we do not see. A layer we usually do not even perceive. But it is there. I’ve believed that all of my Christian life. Think about Angels? You usually do not notice their presence, but the Bible is clear each of us has an angel that is with us at all times. Not only is our angel with us at all times, Jesus said, “they are always before the Father in Heaven” as well.
Can we explain that? Not in human words… but yet we believe it by Faith.
That is what I’m getting to. I usually do not give this long of an introduction to an interview, but I wanted to make sure you understand the importance of our topic today and the importance of the context of this book, “Christ vs Satan – the Final Battle for Earth has Begun,” which we will be discussing today.
But how do you cover this in your book? Why did Christ come to earth at the first coming?
You just mentioned the “matrix” of Satan’s prison, etc. Please share with us your concept of the “matrix” in regards to that?
Why do you believe the second coming is to complete the “unfinished business” left over from the first coming. Can you explain that for our listeners?
Trinity Royal, this is so interesting. I love your perspective on this. I may not agree 100%, but I do see where you are coming from. Either way, it definitely gives a different perspective and – from the reviews I’ve been reading – your readers appreciate it.
I believe that is what authors are meant to do with their books – make people THINK. Amen!
How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “Christ vs Satan – the Final Battle for Earth has Begun,” is it on Amazon?
You’ve written another book in this “Matrix Series,” titled “The Second Coming of Christ.” Is this available on Amazon as well?
If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or maybe to do an interview like this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, as I shared in the beginning, the war that Trinity Royal is discussing is real. It has been raging for eons of time. Whether you believe it or not does not matter. Whether you deny it or not does not matter. Whether you try to understand it or not – THAT matters. Amen!
I urge you to drop down into the show notes and order your copy of “Christ vs Satan – the Final Battle for Earth has Begun,” right now, while you are thinking about it. You know as well as I do, that if it is important, Satan will try to distract you and tell you “do it later.” Don’t listen! Order it right now, while you are here and thinking about it.
Order part two while you are there! You will want to jump right into book two once you complete book one (which won’t take you long – you’ll just keep turning page after page to see what is happening next)! Amen!
Trinity Royal I want to thank you for taking the time to come on the program today and share with us about this book series, “The Real Matrix” and this first book, “Christ vs Satan: The Final Battle for Earth Has Begun.” I do appreciate your time.
Folks, for Trinity Royal and myself, this is Pastor Bob reminding you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!

That being said, help me welcome to the program, Trinity Royal! Thank you for joining us today.
The first question I always start with is this. Other than that brief introduction about our topic today, can you tell us in your own words about YOU. “Who is Trinity Royal?
How did you get started studying this aspect of Christianity?
Let’s start, at the beginning, as they say. Tell us about the origins, as you see it, about the “war in Heaven” which is called the “Lucifer Rebellion…”
Didn’t Jesus say He seen Satan fall like lightning from Heaven? Is that when the battle moved from Heaven to earth?
Why are humans being used as pawns in the war?
I understand WHY God wants our souls – we are His Children. But why does Satan want our souls? Is it only to wave in God’s face?
We believe Jesus came to earth the first time to pay the penalty for sin. There had to be penalty because God is a Righteous God. He demands justice. So there had to be penalty, a sacrifice. And it had to be God as man came from God – woman came from man (his side) – from that point on, every man (human) came from a woman – and to complete the circle of life – that means the sacrifice for man’s sin also had to come from a woman. So God had to come from a woman (and did). Then, that man had to return to God (representing our return to God).
But how do you cover this in your book? Why did Christ come to earth at the first coming?
You just mentioned the “matrix” of Satan’s prison, etc. Please share with us your concept of the “matrix” in regards to that?
Folks, as I shared in the beginning, the war that Trinity Royal is discussing is real. It has been raging for eons of time. Whether you believe it or not does not matter. Whether you deny it or not does not matter. Whether you try to understand it or not – THAT matters. Amen!
I urge you to drop down into the show notes and order your copy of “Christ vs Satan – the Final Battle for Earth has Begun,” right now, while you are thinking about it. You know as well as I do, that if it is important, Satan will try to distract you and tell you “do it later.” Don’t listen! Order it right now, while you are here and thinking about it.

Battle On – Battle Over Fred Stoeker pt 3I am truly blessed when I can bring a guest back on this program to provide value, information, impartation and inspiration to you all over again. Today’s guest checks off each of those gifts and qualifications – and then some.
Fred Stoker was on just a few weeks ago as we were discussing his book, “Every Man’s Battle” If you missed that interview – you missed a good one! Amen! I highly recommend you go back and listen to both episodes of that great two part interview. We discussed the current spiritual battle taking place that has been trying to destroy this generation of men, even right now.
In that book, Fred discusses the first of what he calls, the “first great vulnerability” to men, centering around sexual sin. The book itself was written 25 years ago, but was updated in 2020. But this book is so impactful because the Holy Spirit is still able to talk with us today through that book, and bring all things relevant to today! Amen!
I’ve invited Fred back to discuss his second book, “BATTLE ON – BATTLE OVER” In this book, Fred discusses what he calls the “second great vulnerability,” which is the “Stealth Trap.” And this one will surprise you! You will hear somethings today that you may have heard about, but when Fred lays out the deception being played by the devil right now, your Spiritual eyes will see it for what it and your mind will be shocked at just how obvious this is and we just have not recognized it for what it is…amen!
This is the conclusion of a great three part interview with Fred Stoeker!What about the churches and things going on in the church? If this is happening inside the homes, it has to be affecting what is happening in the church as well, correct?
Let’s take this next question in three parts…
Part one: The husband has the problem.
Part two: The wife has the problem.
Part three: BOTH have a problem with this…
How should they proceed to obtain help?
What if one or the other refuses to acknowledge a problem with pornography or refuses the offer for help? Like Alcohol Anonymous has Alan-On. Is there something the one spouse or the other can do?
I knew this issue was bad. I knew it was out there. Just as you, I’ve had issues in my past as well. But I had no idea it had gone from a “problem” to a “festering wound” under the surface – especially in the church.
Fred, this has been so interesting and we are about out of time. How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “Battle On – Battle Over?” Is it on Amazon?
And the book we discussed last time, “Every Man’s Battle” . It’s available on Amazon as well, correct.
Folks, this battle is real. Amen! It is destroying the very fabric of our families and our churches. The thing is, as I said at the end or our last interview, nothing the devil is doing is new. He is still doing the same things today. But with these books published by Fred Stoker and his ministry – YOU can learn to walk in victory. YOU can learn to strengthen the marriage bond BEFORE it becomes broken. YOU can learn how to restore the marriage bond and strengthen if something has happened to you.
Do not allow this opportunity to pass you by. You are listening to this episode today for a reason. God had pre-ordained before the foundation of the world for you to be listening to this episode up to this point. Amen!

This is part two of what turned out to be a great three part interview!What is the second vulnerability which you were talking about – “The Stealth Trap?”
You mentioned that women are now being hooked on porn at an even faster rate than men. Are they responding to stress in their life like you just shared about men?
How does this affect the families? It was one thing when one parent was involved, but now both are involved. That has to affect the children as well, correct?
What about the churches and things going on in the church? If this is happening inside the homes, it has to be affecting what is happening in the church as well, correct?

Anyway, help me welcome back to the program, Fred Stoker! Fred, it is so good to see you again and to have back on the program!
I know we covered this question before, but for the sake of those that did not hear your prior interview (yet) – can you share with us in your own words, “Who is Fred Stoeker?”
Just to cover your background a bit more, from what we learned in the prior interview, you are the author or co-author of several books that help men to strengthen their marriages. In fact, you’ve created a ministry to assist men in this aspect. When you published “Every Man’s Battle” you actually thought you were “one and done” as far a book writing and publishing on this topic was concerned, correct?
What convinced you, moving forward, that writing and publishing books was to become your ministry effort?
Your new book, “Battle On – Battle Over,” deals with pornography, but from a woman’s perspective. But not just how a husband’s addiction affects her or the family (that is what the first book is about).
With that as the backdrop, can tell us a little WHY you wrote, “Battle On – Battle Over?”
Does the pornography affect men and women the same way? I mean the “dopamine” levels, and things like that?
What is the second vulnerability which you were talking about – “The Stealth Trap?”

ORDER Fred Stoker’s latest book: “Battle On Battle Over!”
Becoming a Culture Catalyst Alex Sezer, Jr.It’s been said about Real Estate, that “they don’t make that stuff anymore.” So it is a limited amount. God does not create more land just because… amen! Many people have made their living in the trading of land for dollars…it’s called “Real Estate” for a reason. You can REALLY create an Estate in this industry.
The question many people have is: HOW?
How can they start without a lot of money?
How can they find the deals that will give them enough profit?
How can they negotiate all of the legal hurdles to be successful?
My guest today has been doing this since his early 20’s! Praise God!
Alex Sezer, Jr excelled at the Texas A&M college, both as a student leader and as an athlete on the football team! He was the Captain of the football team and graduated as magma cum laude in engineering…
He became the President of not one, but two multi-million dollar real estate companies and scaled his personal portfolio to over 340 units – using $0 dollars out of pocket! Amen!
Alex’s focus is in organizational improvement and he does that by focusing on cultural transformation. He helps Christian business leaders go from Sunday morning inspiration to Monday morning implementation – by focusing on biblical principles to help create passionate, profitable and purpose-driven organizations. He does this by combining the Bible, business and management with a mission, profits with a purpose and a culture with Christ. Glory to God!
First question I always start with is this… Other than that brief in formation I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Alex Sezer, Jr?”
How and why did you make the transition from college football and a degree in engineering, to a career in real estate?
You focus a lot on culture. I’m taking this to mean the culture of the business you are helping?
You have a saying, “Show me your culture and I’ll show you your future.” Can you explain that for us?
What are the different areas of the culture are you looking at? I believe you call them “The Seven Elements of Culture?”
Why are these important areas to evaluate?
You also specialize in Biblical Leadership and translating that to business. You share about applying Jesus’ leadership model. What is that and how do you accomplish this?
We opened with a question of how you were able to create and grow your real estate holdings without using any of your personal finances. Is that even possible today, with the financial crises the way it is right now?
Let’s talk about your course you offer on your website. We pretty much covered the questions… but tell us what benefits someone will gain by investing in this course.
Is this course only for big businesses or will ministries and entrepreneurs benefit as well?
Alex, this all sounds amazing. How can someone obtain more information, ask a question or possibly sign up your course?
Folks, from leading the football team to scaling multi-million dollar businesses, Alex Sezer has proven he knows what it takes to build winning teams. He is not just keeping this information for himself. He is answering his calling by God to share this information with YOU. He can help YOU grow your organization, whether it is a church or ministry or your brick and mortar business – and yes – even your online business.
If you want to succeed, you must have someone who has “been there and done that” so you avoid the mistakes and pitfalls that can take you out. Alex is that person.
As you heard, he just does not focus on the money side of things. He uses Biblical principles instilled in him since his youth. Principles that he put to work and found out – THEY WORK! Praise God!
I urge you to drop down into the show notes right now and get in touch with Alex Sezer, Jr. Click the links, reach out… check out his website and yes – sign up for his coaching program. Amen! But – only do so if you are serious in building a better organization. If you want to the stay the same and not grow…do so. But if you want to become a leader in your community – reach out to Alex right now.

The Sixth Seal Dr. Richard Ruhling pt 2In Matthew 24:22, Jesus states (in reference to the last days – which we are in right now): “unless those days be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: (but) for the elect’s sake, those days shall be shortened…”
We see events happening all around us, each day bringing us closer and closer the climatic event that prophets of old have always said would happen.
Are we about to experience something that has been prophesied to come for thousands of years? Are we about to see the wrath of God unleashed like never before? Are witnessing the first stages of this with all the mayhem we see around us today?
To help bring some clarity to this topic and prayerfully touch the hearts of someone somewhere today with the Truth of the Bible, our good friend, Dr. Richard Ruhling is back to discuss the sixth seal of the Book of the Revelation, as well as some others with us, and share his insights into just how close we truly are to what the Bible calls, “the end time.”
Don’t believers have the promise of God’s protection in Exodus 34:10,11?
Every time I have you come on, I always try to bring you back to the Wedding Parables. Your insight into this is so intriguing to me. How is the 6th Seal related to Luke's wedding parable?
How do you see the timing of this taking place? What do you see will be happening that takes from here, now – to what is about to happen?
We know about the “Left Behind” book series and movies. What you have been sharing with us is different from “Left Behind.” Can you explain that for us?
Folks, as always, Dr. Ruhling is leaving us with some serious things we need to think and pray about. If you or your loved ones are not right with God, there is not much time left. You need to pray and enter into that place where you are in fellowship with Him. Time is running out. We can see it happening right before our very eyes! Amen!
I also encourage you to drop down into the show notes and click the links there to get in touch with Dr. Ruhling and be sure to order your copy of “MegaQuake 2023.” Get it, read it, preach it! Praise God. And order “The Earthquake and the Seven Seals,” as well.

To help bring some clarity to this topic and prayerfully touch the hearts of someone somewhere today with the Truth of the Bible, our good friend, Dr. Richard Ruhling is back to discuss the sixth seal of the Book of the Revelation, as well as some others with us, and share his insights into just how close we truly are to what the Bible calls, “the end time.”
Praise God, help me welcome back to the program, Dr. Richard Ruhling. Dr Ruhling, it is indeed a blessing to have you back on the program today!
Last time, we shared about the 4th and 5th seals in the Book of the Revelation. So today, let’s go ahead and shift over the 6th seal.
Let’s start with how the 6th seal is related to the covenant that God made with Abraham?
Paul said in 1 Corinthians 10:1 and 11 that the Exodus was an example for us today. How is that related to the 6th Seal?
Did you see the news recently where the UN passed a resolution condemning Israel “taking the land of the Palestinians?”
What about the New Covenant Promise to believers as listed in the Old Testament. Scriptures like Jeremiah 31or Ezekiel 36?
Don’t believers have the promise of God’s protection in Exodus 34:10,11?
Every time I have you come on, I always try to bring you back to the Wedding Parables. Your insight into this is so intriguing to me. How is the 6th Seal related to Luke's wedding parable?
Folks, as always, Dr. Ruhling is leaving us with some serious things we need to think and pray about. If you or your loved ones are not right with God, there is not much time left. You need to pray and enter into that place where you are in fellowship with Him. Time is running out. We can see it happening right before our very eyes! Amen!
I also encourage you to drop down into the show notes and click the links there to get in touch with Dr. Ruhling and be sure to order your copy of “MegaQuake 2023.” Get it, read it, preach it! Praise God. And order “The Earthquake and the Seven Seals,” as well.

Chaselynn Fitness Chase Williams pt 2Chase Williams was the fitness director in the corporate world. All was well, but she still had a desire to step out on her own. She knew God had given her a calling and a passion. The COVID shutdown allowed her the time to turn that passion into action! Amen!
This is part two of a great two part interview!Do you focus only on helping women to get into the routine of working out?
Do you focus on helping female business executives or stay at home moms? Who is the primary person that you are helping?
What is the “3M” method on habits and routine building?
You do A LOT even prior to your kids waking up in the morning. Can you briefly share with us the importance of making TIME for yourself before you start charging into your day?
How do you help your clients to “stick with it” until it becomes a natural part of their day that they just do not want to mess with?
You help them by teaching them how to use their Faith as the center of everything. You call it the “Ripple Effect.” What is the “Ripple Effect” and how does this apply to their life, health and business?
You use the term, “Household of Health.” I love that phrase! Can you explain that for us?
Chase, this has been so interesting. If someone wanted to get in touch with you about your coaching program, or they have a couple of questions, etc., or maybe they would like to do an interview such as this… how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to this in the show notes below.
Folks, Chase Williams understands the need for women to create the joy, stability, creativity and reflect the Love of God in their family and community. This impacts, not just your family now – but the next generation as well. And the generation after that.
It all starts with the NOW. It all starts with YOU.

Chaselynn Fitness Chase Williams pt 1During the COVID lockdowns, a lot of businesses found themselves in deep, deep financial chaos. Most businesses run on a shoestring anyway. They have bills coming and the rely on the consistent income to make sure those bills get paid, including salaries, etc.
The government reaction to COVID took everyone by surprise. The draconian shutdowns were especially tough for business owners who had poured their life savings into the business, only to be told, “tough.” I never could figure out how or why it was not allowed for small, mom & pop stores to remain open and only allow one or two people at a time to come, shop, spend some money and allow the business owners to remain viable – but it was OK to allow big box stores to remain open and have 500 people inside, six feet apart.
But that is not the reason for today’s discussion. The point I’m making is there were massive, massive shifts in businesses during the COVID lockdowns. Some businesses closed and never recovered. Some are still suffering today. But – for others, it was a time of transition. A time to reflect on what was important and use that time to make changes for the better.
This applied to individuals as well. Some people longed to go back to the 9-5 grind while others became entrepreneurs and pursued their God given calling outside of the norm.
That is what happened with our guest today.
Chase Williams was the fitness director in the corporate world. All was well, but she still had a desire to step out on her own. She knew God had given her a calling and a passion. The COVID shutdown allowed her the time to turn that passion into action! Amen!
Help me welcome to the program, Chase Williams. Chase, it is so good to see you again! Thank you for taking the time to come on the program today!
The first question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Chase Williams?”
Tell us what life was like in your business back before COVID hit? Was it mainly in the gym’s and workout centers?
How did COVID change your perspective on how all of that was working?
At what point did you decide to go out on your own?
So, as you made your plan about what to do – how did all of that come to pass?
Folks, Chase Williams understands the need for women to create the joy, stability, creativity and reflect the Love of God in their family and community. This impacts, not just your family now – but the next generation as well. And the generation after that.
It all starts with the NOW. It all starts with YOU.
Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Chase. Ask your questions. See if she would be the right person to help you get to where you, not only want to be – but NEED to be! Amen!

Let All That Read This Be Warned Anne Lafferty pt 2We have been witness to some of the most unique scientific discoveries that mankind has ever witnessed. We have been subject to many different variations on how mankind has evolved over the eons. We have been told that the earth is billions up on billions of years old and the universe is even older.
Then, on the other hand, we have the Bible and ancient Jewish literature and writings, that say the earth and mankind are a fairly new phenomenon only several thousands of years old.
Which is true? Could they both be true? Could both be wrong?
Many Jewish Rabbi’s and historians have determined that many of the cold, lifeless planets wandering our solar system could have been destroyed many times in the past. Is that why there is no life? The citizens of those planets destroyed themselves?
Is that what is destined for us on earth?
Are there beings, hidden from our view, that are influencing this earth today? Trying to destroy this planet and human life?
Is the ancient battle of “good and evil” still taking place today? Perhaps right before our very eyes? But yet unseen by us?
These are all interesting tidbits of what our guest today has accumulated and shared in a very special book that I just had to bring her on and try to get this book into your hands. It is titled, “Let All Who Read This Book Be Warned: That The Only Thing New in the World is the History You Don’t Know.”
Now, if that title doesn’t grab your attention, “your wood is wet.” Amen!
Why do you think that at some point in time, the earth was transformed and then humans were placed here to rule and reign? When do you think that happened?
I was looking through your book, “Let All Who Read This Be Warned,” and I notice that you have a chapter or two where you go into specific dates. You discuss the relevance of Noah, Nimrod, the Feast of Trumpets, the Resurrection, etc. Can you just share some of these “coincidences” of major events falling on the same exact date?
As we get ready to close, I would like to get your opinion on all the evil and conflict we see happening around us today. These were things foretold by Jesus and the prophets… I believe we are witnessing prophecy come to pass right before our eyes today.
Anne, I wish we had more time! I find this very interesting. You’ve done a great job on this book! How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “Let All Who Read This Book Be Warned: That The Only Thing New in the World is the History You Don’t Know.”
Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or maybe to do an interview like this… how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, this book is a must read! Anne has done a magnificent job of gathering facts and information and the way she has presented it in this book is going to amaze you. I am astounded at how the Bible story has been weaved into this book.
You need to get this and read it and take notes and be prepared to discuss things with sceptics that will just blow their minds at what YOU KNOW. Amen! And it will be all because Anne Lafferty took the time to put all of this together.
Drop down into the show notes and click the link right there to order you copy of Anne’s book,
“Let All Who Read This Book Be Warned: That The Only Thing New in the World is the History You Don’t Know.”
I would recommend ordering two or more books! Because after you see the power of information that is in your hands… wisdom and understanding you are going to have because of this book as you walk through this world and witness the things we see happening… you will want to share this information with others.
Buy two or three copies and pray about who you want to bless with this information. Amen!
Anne, thank you for taking the time to come on our program and share all about your book, “Let All Who Read This Book Be Warned: That The Only Thing New in the World is the History You Don’t Know.”

Help me welcome to the program the author of this great and very interesting book, Anne Lafferty. Anne, thank you for coming on the program and sharing all about this interesting book and your take on all of this. I do appreciate your time!
First question I always ask is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Anne Lafferty?”
Many people today view the Bible as absolute Truth, as I do. But many believe it is just a collection of stories handed down over the centuries and has no value to our “advanced, intellectual minds” of today. What is your take on the Bible in regard to that?
Let me ask you… why did you write this book and why do believe this is the perfect time to publish it?
You share that this is a battle over rulership. Who is it that wants to rule and why is that important today?
I’ve seen stories of giants and Nephilim and the like. Are you referring to them?
Were there ancient civilizations on this earth that were destroyed prior to our human ancestors?
In your research and in your opinion, do believe there was a huge void of time between the destruction of these other civilizations and the current version of humanity? A void that would account for the billions of years in differing opinions?
Why do you think that at some point in time, the earth was transformed and then humans were placed here to rule and reign? When do you think that happened?

As I was preparing for today’s interview, I read that you attended a marriage seminar, when you were single? Is that right? Why?
But it all paid off after that when your dad arranged a “double date” for you? How old were you at that time?
You are the author or co-author of several books that help men to strengthen their marriages. In fact, you’ve created a ministry to assist men in this aspect. When you published “Every Man’s Battle,” you actually thought you were “one and done” as far a book writing and publishing on this topic was concerned, correct? What convinced you this was to become your ministry effort?
You updated this book in 2020. Some of the things you’ve shared in this updated version include, “Practical solutions to rein in wandering eyes and lustful thoughts.” That may be a great topic to bring out in this day and time where sensuality is the norm on television programs and television ads today. How do you cover this in your book?
Can you share with us what you discovered as far as a connection between pornography and sexual disfunction?
Folks, the things Fred Stoker has shared with us is real. Men struggle with these issues, I’ll say “all the time.” We may not like to admit it. But we do.

Milestone to Manhood Steven ArmsDo you have a son or maybe a grandson or nephew that is about to turn thirteen? We know entering those teenage years can be a very difficult time, for the boys and for the families. Testosterone is kicking in and they are learning how to handle all of these new feelings, etc.
They are seeking their independence and trying to stretch their wings a bit. That can cause some friction if you are not prepared for it yourself. Boys are this age are beginning to transition to manhood. But they really don’t know what it means. They think you are still wanting to treat them as your little boy, while they want to think of themselves as “grown up.”
Wouldn’t it be great if both of you could make that transition together?
Our guest today, Steven Arms, has written a great book titled, “Milestone to Manhood.” This book details his firsthand experience his family originated to have each of the male children go through at age 13. It culminates in a “Rite of Passage Weekend” to celebrate the transition to manhood for the boys.
We know the Jewish boys have their “Bar Mitzvah.” This can be celebrated along those same lines.
Help me welcome to the program, Steven Arms, as he is going to share all about this “Rite of Passage Weekend” and his book, “Milestone to Manhood!”
Steven, thank you for taking the time to join us today!
First question I always ask is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Steven Arms?”
How did this family tradition get started?
Including you, how many of your family members, cousins, etc. ever participate in this event?
This is a two book series, correct? The book itself and a workbook?
When a boy is turning thirteen, what is the difference in their outlook and attitude for not going through this as compared to those who do go through the weekend process?
That’s one reason many boys, especially in the city and urban areas, join gangs, etc. – to show they are “their own man?”
Walk us through the weekend. What does the weekend look like as far as activities and teachings and things like that?
What kind of preparations are there for this weekend? Are there certain things the boy has to demonstrate or accomplish before the weekend happens? Like a boy scout earning ribbons type thing?
Do you just walk into the bedroom at 330am and wake him up and say, “Let’s Go!?”
Is there anything like, “Go out and return with the tail feather of an eagle? Or something like that?”
So, this book, “Milestone to Manhood,” is to take care of the boys. You mentioned the daughters have one of these? Do they take the daughters out to the mall or something instead of camping?
When your son messes up, I mean, “boys will be boys” and, after all, they are “teenagers.” But when they do mess up, how does the punishments change? Like prior to, there may have been spankings or being grounded, etc. What about after this weekend?
Have you received any kind of feedback from readers of your book that has instituted this type of weekend for their kids and family?
Steven, this sounds so interesting. I wish we would’ve had something like this when I was growing up. My rite of passage occurred 4 days after I graduated from High School when I arrived at US Army Basic Training. After that – my grandfather and my father commented on how I had been changed. Praise God!
Steven, how can someone obtain a copy of your book, “Milestone to Manhood?” Is it on Amazon?
And the workbook is available on Amazon as well?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask questions or maybe to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, we can see the results of not having a way to show a young man that he IS a man, has huge ramifications in our society today. You can see this every single night on the evening news. Fighting. Recreational drugs. Excessive drinking. Shootings. The list goes on and on. The sad reality is that young men engage in risky behavior simply to prove, to themselves and to others, that they are a man.
But does it have to be this way? Is there anything that can be done?
Absolutely! And Steven Arms has put together the perfect resource for you to start a tradition that can now be passed down to you sons, then your grandsons and then your great-grandsons, etc.
You could be the starting point for a tradition that could span generations (if the Lord tarries). Amen! Think about the blessing that will be to you and to the generations that follow after you!
Pastors – you need to put together a program for the men in your church that might like to focus on this. Praise God! Imagine the number of men, AND THEIR SONS, that would want to participate in a program like this in your community! Amen!
Drop down into the show notes and contact Steven Arms. Use the link there to order you own copy of this great book, “Milestone to Manhood.” Order both, the book and the workbook. Order a couple of copies and pass them out to the men in your family and start to plan NOW for what could be – a great tradition to be carried on for generations. Amen!

Improv to Improve Your Leadership Team Dr. Candy Campbell pt 3Dr. Candace Campbell is a multifaceted person in just about every way you can think of. She is a career nurse with so many designations after her name, I could not even begin to explain them. She is as author, a producer of documentary films and an improv actor with some pretty intriguing, one person shows that she mainly uses in key note presentations at health care conferences. And in one of them, she portrays, probably the most famous nurse ever – Florence Nightingale. And we definitely will be talking about that.
We had the blessing of having Candy in the program last year as we discussed her book, “Improv to Improve Healthcare: A System for Creative Problem Solving.”
Now, she is releasing a new book titled, “Improv to Improve Your Leadership Team.” This book will be released in April of 2023.
This episode is part three and the conclusion of a great three part interview!(At the time this interview is being published, Candy is appearing as "Florence Nightingale" in a solo act, off broadway production! If you are in the NYC area during this time, use the link below to order your tickets)!In your book, I believe it was the first section or near the first section, you talked about “Risk being imperfect.” That is something I have seen many leaders avoid at all costs. They believe if they are not “perfect” that will somehow make them seem weak and ineffective. What do you share about that from your book?
Another section you have is “Silence the inner Editor.” Can you share what you mean by that phrase?
I love your next section… “Avoid ‘Yes or No’ Questions.” Can you share why that is so important in management?
The section, “Treat others like you want to be treated,” just goes back to the “Golden Rule” from the Bible. It’s amazing how accurate Biblical principles can be applied across all aspects of life.
Candy, your book, “Improv to Improve Your Leadership Team,” will be released in April of 2023. Are you taking pre-orders yet?
If someone wanted to reach out to you, order your books, etc. How can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes.
Folks, as you can see, when you start looking at managing your company from a perspective of “Improv,” not comedy per se, but just deal with the situations as they arise and, handle the issues and have fun doing it – your business can’t help but to grow. Your employees will love their work environment more and you will see less turnover. That means – EVERYONE WINS! Amen!
I urge you to drop down into the show notes below and reach out to Dr. Candice Campbell. Go and visit her website. You will be amazed at the things she has on there to help YOU. She helps YOU to grow. Praise God. Be sure to order her new book, “Improv to Improve Your Leadership Team.”

Why did you decide to portray “Florence Nightingale” in your presentations on healthcare?
You go all out in this. You dress in the time period fashion. But you just do not deliver a monologue and leave it at that. You also interact with the audience and take questions. Your website says, “What would Florence Nightingale say about healthcare today and what advice would she give?” Do you only perform this for health care related audiences?
I wanted to ask you about your upcoming on stage performance. Where and when will you be appearing?
Tell us about your first documentary. It was about “Micro-premature Babies: How Low Can You Go.” What made you decide it was needed?
You have appeared, yourself, on stage, on screen, in commercials, on TV. You’ve done voice overs and all of that. And that is in addition to your career as a nurse in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit! Then, you started your own production company to make your documentaries and developed not one, not two, but THREE solo shows for your talks! Do you ever rest?
I want to shift gears and talk about your new book, “Improv to Improve Your Leadership Team.”
We face more disruption right now than at any other time in history. It’s been happening for decades: globalism; advancing technology; political, social, and cultural upheaval; and more.
But the past few years have really shined a light on our problems. The scope, the pace, and the intensity of changes we are witnessing are unprecedented. In addition, the recent pandemic caused major disruptions across almost every industry.
While most organizations have struggled in some ways, many have had to almost rebuild from the ground up. They’ve had to rethink everything about how they operate; who they partner with; and how, where, and when their employees will work.
One big consequence, of course, is what has been termed “The Great Resignation.” Employees have experienced a mass awakening around what’s most important in life. They’ve gotten very focused on what they want from their jobs. If their employer is unable to provide the quality of life / work balance they desire – they look elsewhere for a business that will.
Many businesses across many spectrums are scrambling to reinvent their ecosystems in a way that puts their employees at the center. How does a business find their footing in a whirlwind of change? How do business leaders make decisions in the face of so many unknowns? How do they provide leadership in the swirl of chaos?
Folks, as you can see, when you start looking at managing your company from a perspective of “Improv,” not comedy per se, but just deal with the situations as they arise and, handle the issues and have fun doing it – your business can’t help but to grow. Your employees will love their work environment more and you will see less turnover. That means – EVERYONE WINS! Amen!

Scripture Frames for Life Steven Snook pt 2Steven Snook’s first memories are of life were in Virginia foster care, before being taken to his then-new home in Danville, Illinois. There, he grew up in extreme poverty over the course of his upbringing. By the age of 15, he was involved with drugs. After turning 19, he was transporting marijuana from South Texas into Central Illinois. And by 26, he was arrested by the DEA for smuggling cocaine and sentenced to 22 years in the federal prison system. Over the course of that time, he was transferred to eight different federal facilities across states like Florida, North Carolina, and Virginia. That included time in solitary confinement, serving an entire year in solitary during one period.
For most people, that would sound like a harsh punishment. But Steven says, that for him, it turned into an opportunity.
Two years prior to Snook’s release, he recounts a series of vivid dreams. In them, he says, God showed him frames with rotating images of scripture inside, hanging on the walls of homes. I’ll let him share with us now, “the rest of the story” about what has become, “Rapha Frames.”
In prison, you became a “go to guy” if someone had questions about Faith and Jesus or needed prayer, right?
Tell us about the dreams…
You had not been exposed to the Internet like we have today, email, websites, etc. You may have some exposure, but not the familiarity like most people take for granted today. How hard was that for you to adjust to once you were released?
How did you raise the funding for your product and company?
Your company is called, Jesus Speaks, LLC. You do speaking engagements as well as run the product side of the company correct?
Steven, you are an inspiration to so many people. I’ve always said that a person cannot minister effectively to those that have issues or facing problems unless they, themselves, have gone through the same situations. Your life story laid the foundation for what you are doing today. That’s not saying all that happened before was great – but it all brought you to where you are today. You would not be reaching the people with the Word of the Lord today IF you had not gone through those processes.
Now, I’m not recommending anyone follow the same path. What I am saying to everyone listening, is Jesus has a plan for YOU. No matter where you are or what you have done – Jesus has a plan FOR YOU! Uniquely, for YOU!
He met Steven in a solitary cell stuck deep, deep behind prison walls. Cut off from everyone. But he was not cut off from Jesus. Amen!
Steven, what would you say to someone that may be, let’s say they were recently released or perhaps they are still in prison and listening to you right now. What can you say to that person, man or woman, who is wondering if you were the exception or if Jesus has something for them as well?
Steven, this has been so interesting. I’m blessed to help you “Get the Word Out” about all that you are doing for the Lord. If someone has a question, would like to get in touch with you or would like to check out your product “Scripture Frames,” how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
Folks, Steven is using his “God given talents” to further his “God given Dream.” Amen! You have dream and talents inside of you that are unique to YOU – but will be able to make an impact in this world that nobody else can make. Only you.
I urge you to drop down into the show notes below and reach out to Steven Snook today. Get in touch with him. Support his company as they fulfill their dream to “Get the Word Out” into all the earth through these “Scripture Frames.” The links are right there. These would make a great gift for you mom or dad, grandparents, aunts, uncles and even yourself! Praise God!

Help me welcome to the program, Steven Snook. Steven, thank you for taking the time to join us today. I’ve been excited about having this interview with you since you first reached out to me. Welcome to the program.
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Steven Snook?”
Let’s jump back to the beginning. Raised the first part of your life in an orphanage. Then you were moved to Illinois. Were you adopted or foster cared out to a family? How did you end up on Illinois?
What led you to the street life with drugs, etc.?
Then that progressed into trafficking?
Share with us what your life was like in the prison system… since you spent so much time in solitary, I take there were some issues?
What did the other inmates around you think about these changes in you?
Did your family ever attend church growing up? Did you have any exposure this before?
You became a “go to guy” if someone had questions about Faith and Jesus or needed prayer, right?
Tell us about the dreams…
Folks, Steven is using his “God given talents” to further his “God given Dream.” Amen! You have dream and talents inside of you that are unique to YOU – but will be able to make an impact in this world that nobody else can make. Only you.

Children’s Books for Conscious Parents – Jay AedoWhat if we could rewrite history with the ability to replace the evil, the contentious, the bad – with Good, with understanding and everyone getting along? How would that change the world? What kind of world would we be living in right now? And to change the Biblical stories we were raised on by shedding the Light of God’s Will for Humanity in the re-write? What would that look like?
Our guest today is setting out to do just that – one Bible story at a time. Jay Aedo is an international entrepreneur, teacher of practical philosophy and children’s book author. Born and raised in southern California, Jay often felt the weight of the different belief systems his parents, teachers and religious leaders followed.
As a writer and community leader, he encourages his young readers to look beyond the antiquated programs of the stories that have repeated for centuries. For the first time in the history of children’s books, an author tells biblical stories from a super-conscious perspective.
Jay instead shows you how the truth of God lies within all of us. He encourages his young readers to take responsibility for their actions and to never be fearful of speaking up for themselves.
Conscious effort is the key to empowering children all over the world in order to create their own story from the very beginning. His saying sums it all up:
“IT ONLY TAKES ONE GENERATION TO CREATE AN UNRECOGNIZABLE WORLD. THIS IS BOTH PRACTICAL AND ATTAINABLE. WE JUST HAVE TO REWRITE THE PROGRAM, EMPOWER OUR CHILDREN, AND ENJOY THE JOURNEY.”
Praise God.. help we welcome to the program, Jay Aedo! Jay, I have been looking forward to this interview because I really believe you are onto something here, brother!
The first question I always ask is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Jay Aedo?”
I want to start with, “WHY?” Why did you start looking at rewriting the Bible stories in the light of “Conscious” story telling?
Have you met with any negative feedback by “rewriting the Gospel” as it was written?
Explain to us how retelling the same stories we have heard over and over again, mainly from the Bible, affects our children with a sense of “victimhood?”
You share it is important to allow our children to make mistakes, but own their mistakes. How does your book series help them in this area and change the perspective of the mistake?
How many books have you published so far in this series?
When is the next book scheduled to be released?
How can someone obtain your book, “Cain and Abel?” Is it on Amazon?
Jay, this has been so interesting. You are doing a mighty work for the Lord with these books. I believe you are going to change the mindset of this generation. Praise God. This is awesome!
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question, get more information, or maybe to do an interview such as this. How can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, there is no doubt that our children today are being brought up watching, listening and learning all the wrong things. Could it be, they are just being programmed the way we were? Studying the victimhood side of things rather than the God side of things?
Praise God for Jay Aedo taking this “God Idea” and turning it into something tangible that is making a positive impact on this next generation. Remember, what we program them with now is what they will use to run this world in about 20 years! Wouldn’t it be great if we could change their Conscious Perspective from negativity to positivity? Amen!
Drop down into the show notes and get in touch with Jay. Click the links. Order your “Cain and Able” book today! Get started today in changing the future of your children, your grandchildren. Pastors, this book series will make such a positive impact on your Sunday School classes! Amen! Impact this next generation NOW. Amen
Click the links, order your books today!

Crypto Currency for Christians Jeremy Britton pt 3I know a lot of people listening right now have been hit hard by the recession coupled with ever rising inflation that has been going on this past year. I also know a lot of people who may have been planning on retiring soon have taken a huge hit in their retirement accounts.
I know of some folks that retired and now have to go back to work.
One of the things that has been in news lately is Crypto Currency. We’ve all heard of BitCoin by now. There are many, many others. I’ve invested in some as well and seen that investment drop like a rock in this economy, too.
Then there is all of the bad news recently concerning some major crypto exchanges having issues.
So, what should a Christian do when it comes to Crypto Currency? Is it the “mark of the beast?” Is it something that should be avoided? Is it something that can help us accumulate wealth?
To help us answer some of these questions, I’ve invited someone who is uniquely qualified to provide us some guidance in this area to be our guest today.
Jeremy Britton is from down under in Australia and has 25 years of experience in financial planning, entrepreneurship and financial markets. Jeremy is a value investor who loves innovative technology that helps people to have a better life. He is an award-winning best-selling author of several books on finance and business and, Jeremy was one of only four people in the financial market who warned of the 9/11/2001 market crash, the 2008 GFC and the 2020 pandemic crash giving his clients up to two years warning before they occurred! Amen!
Jeremy also co-founded the world’s FIRST diversified crypto mutual fund back in 2016! He is the author of several books such as, “Who’s Taking Your Money? – and How to Get Some of it Back)! Amen! So he should be able to tell us a thing or two about this subject today. Amen!
This is the conclusion of this great three part interview, with Jeremy Britton!In your book, “Who’s Taking Your Money,” you provide some Bible verse quotes and Biblical principles on creating wealth. Does crypto currency align with Spiritual values in the case of various governments planning on launching their own crypto currency?
Is this a bad thing? I mean, am I right in thinking they will be able to trace every purchase made, track it and – worst case scenario, turn off our access to it – whenever they want?
Doesn’t that outline the “Mark of the Beast” scenario?
You also said in your book, “Banks are good – if you own them!” LOL. Share about that…
Go over the “Four Rules of Investing in Crypto Currency” for us…
I loved the example you provide in your book about passing the money around the circle. Can you briefly go over the lesson you provide in your book for us?
Let’s shift gears a little bit. Tell us about the non-profit you’ve organized that is making a difference in emerging economies around the world…
Tell us about your coaching program, “24 Hour Wealth Coach.”
Jeremy, this has truly been a fascinating interview. You’ve opened my eyes to some things I did not know about crypto currency and I know you have done so for many of our listeners.
If someone had a question or wanted to get more information on your organization or your coaching program, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
How can someone purchase your book, “Who’s Taking Your Money? – and How to Get Some of it Back)! Is it on Amazon?

You had a heart attack at the ripe old age of 33. Did that just happen to occur during one of the financial crisis that hit the world?
I had a chance to purchase BitCoin, I want to say about 2012 or so, I know it was just after I retired. BitCoin was $37 at that time. I was looking at the charts and I thought, “It went from $0.30 cents to $37. Yeah, this isn’t going to go anywhere…” Boy, do I kick myself now. I guess the question I have for you is, “Is BitCoin dead?” Or will it make a comeback?
I’ve heard the term, “Decentralized Finance” or “DeFi” – what is that and is it good or bad?
You were part of the first diversified crypto mutual fund way back in 2016. So Crypto has been around awhile, correct?
We’ve seen the news concerning FTX and some other Crypto Exchanges. Aren’t those like stock exchanges, that manage mutual funds and things like that, which you started back in 2016? How did that affect your business?
Explain for us how the average person today can utilize crypto currency to obtain wealth and as part of our long term financial plans…

The 4th and 5th Seals Dr. Richard Ruhling pt 2In Matthew 24:22, Jesus states (in reference to the last days – which we are in right now): “unless those days be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: (but) for the elect’s sake, those days shall be shortened…”
We see events happening all around us, each day bringing us closer and closer the climatic event that prophets of old have always said would happen.
For some, they wring their hands and say, “Woe is me…” For others, I share, as Jesus said, “You are blessed because your eyes see what the prophets of old desired to see, and hear what they desired to hear, but could not. You are blessed because you see these things and hear these things.” That’s exciting to me! Praise God.
To help bring some clarity to this topic and prayerfully touch the hearts of someone somewhere today with the Truth of the Bible, our good friend, Dr. Richard Ruhling is back to discuss this scripture, as well as some others with us, about just how close we truly are to what the Bible calls, “the end time.”
Praise God, help me welcome back to the program, Dr. Richard Ruhling. Dr Ruhling, it is indeed a blessing to have you back on the program today!
Share with us about what you have discovered about the 5th Seal in the Book of the Revelation… this has to do with Christ’s Name, correct?
Last time, you shared about something Christians have been saying for centuries, but did not know it. That word is “Halleluiah.” But what is the actual translation?
E (Yud) (A) V JaY-Shua
Why was His Name changed by the translators?
Let’s discuss now about the 4th Seal. What have you learned about this seal?
But, doesn’t it say that “God will not do anything without revealing it first?” How does that apply here?
You’re not saying that all Catholics are going to hell. They were led astray by the leadership, right?
Folks, as always, Dr. Ruhling is leaving us with some serious things we need to think and pray about. If you or your loved ones are not right with God, there is not much time left. You need to pray and enter into that place where you are in fellowship with Him. Time is running out. We can see it happening right before our very eyes! Amen!
I also encourage you to drop down into the show notes and click the links there to get in touch with Dr. Ruhling and be sure to order your copy of “MegaQuake 2023.” Get it, read it, preach it! Praise God. And order “The Earthquake and the Seven Seals,” as well.

Last time, we shared about the first three seals in the Book of the Revelation. I would like us to discuss the 4th and 5thseal today. But the 4th seal is a bit more complex… so, for the sake of clarity, let’s shift to seal number 5 first, then follow up with number 4.
But before we do that, Dr. Ruhling, I wanted to bring up something that recently occurred and which we have discussed before and we have talked about in your book, “MegaQuake 2023.”
What do you think about the recent 7.8 quake along the Syria and Turkey border in reference to what you had in your book?
Folks, as always, Dr. Ruhling is leaving us with some serious things we need to think and pray about. If you or your loved ones are not right with God, there is not much time left.

Rethinking Rest Gregory Hall pt 3As Christians, we have heard the continuous arguments back and forth about a “Day of Rest.” Another term used is as “Sabbath of Rest.” The arguments form around if that is simply an Old Testament tradition that no longer is applicable for this modern age or Saturday’s are the day that needs to be recognized or Sunday is the day true “Christians” should observe because it is in recognition of the resurrection of Christ.
The divides are deep on this topic. They have resulted in denominational splits. These arguments have split families. These arguments have affected peoples employment opportunities as well.
To help us understand the true Biblical concept of REST is our guest, Gregory Hall. Greg was a pastor for 10 years and he served as an adjunct professor at a few local universities where he lives in the Northwest US. He has a podcast called, “Rethinking Scripture” and is the author of a great book, “Rethinking Rest: Why Our Approach to Sabbath Isn’t Working.”
I see in your book where you discuss Plato and his description of “shadows.” That caught my attention because I recently did a teaching on the “types and shadows” that Moses was told to pattern the elements of the Tabernacle after. A shadow has no substance. It is only an indicator that something of substance is behind it. The Sabbath is mentioned as one of those shadows. How should we interpret those references concerning the commandment to observe the Sabbath day if it is a shadow of the true rest of God?
In Chapter 7 of your book, you discuss “testing the waters of rest.” Can explain that for us and how we can go through the process of “testing the waters of rest?”
Greg, as I said, this has been interesting. How can someone order a copy of your book, “Rethinking Rest: Why Our Approach to Sabbath Isn’t Working?” Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or maybe to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
Folks, unless you read books like Greg Hall’s book, “Rethinking Rest: Why Our Approach to Sabbath Isn’t Working,” you will be stuck thinking like you always “thunk.” I guess I can say that… it may not be grammatically correct, but you get my point. You need to study the works from folks like Greg Hall and John H. Walton, people who have taken the time to research and dig deep and then compile information in a manner that makes it easy for you and I and others to comprehend and put to action. Amen!
Drop down into the show notes and order your copy of Greg Hall’s great book, “Rethinking Rest: Why Our Approach to Sabbath Isn’t Working,” right now. Do it while you are thinking about it. Don’t’ give the devil chance to try and distract you and make you forget. Amen!

Rethinking Rest Gregory Hall pt 2As Christians, we have heard the continuous arguments back and forth about a “Day of Rest.” Another term used is as “Sabbath of Rest.” The arguments form around if that is simply an Old Testament tradition that no longer is applicable for this modern age or Saturday’s are the day that needs to be recognized or Sunday is the day true “Christians” should observe because it is in recognition of the resurrection of Christ.
The divides are deep on this topic. They have resulted in denominational splits. These arguments have split families. These arguments have affected peoples employment opportunities as well.
To help us understand the true Biblical concept of REST is our guest, Gregory Hall. Greg was a pastor for 10 years and he served as an adjunct professor at a few local universities where he lives in the Northwest US. He has a podcast called, “Rethinking Scripture” and is the author of a great book, “Rethinking Rest: Why Our Approach to Sabbath Isn’t Working.”
There are many professions, I was in the military and also in law enforcement, and we were required to work rotating schedules that would include working on some Saturday’s and Sunday’s. Some were on, some off. Hospitals and other professions do the same. How does the Biblical “day of rest” and the “Sabbath” apply to those professions? Are people in “sin” because of their work schedule?
So, using that concept, that does not apply to running or swimming if it allows to “mentally rest” or maybe even things like cutting the grass or doing chores around the house If that gives us peace that would be considered “rest?”
At the end of your book, you have a very unique section that I found amazingly interesting. It made me think. You asked the question, “What did God do on the 8th Day?” Can you share that insight with us, please?
I see in your book where you discuss Plato and his description of “shadows.” That caught my attention because I recently did a teaching on the “types and shadows” that Moses was told to pattern the elements of the Tabernacle after. A shadow has no substance. It is only an indicator that something of substance is behind it. The Sabbath is mentioned as one of those shadows. How should we interpret those references concerning the commandment to observe the Sabbath day if it is a shadow of the true rest of God?
Drop down into the show notes and order your copy of Greg’s book now. While you are there, reach out to Greg. Check out his podcast, it’s an interesting listen as well. Amen!

He has a podcast called, “Rethinking Scripture” and is the author of a great book, “Rethinking Rest: Why Our Approach to Sabbath Isn’t Working.”
I’m looking forward to this interview as I believe it will open our eyes to what the Bible truly has to say about this topic.
First question I always start with though, is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Gregory Hall?”
In your book, “Rethinking Rest: Why Our Approach to Sabbath Isn’t Working,” you make a distinction between “rest” and “sabbath.” Can you explain that for us?
We know some denominations that follow the tradition that Saturday is the Biblical day of the Sabbath. We also have many, Christian denominations in particular, that recognize Sunday as the Sabbath because that is the day of the week that Jesus rose from the dead. I guess I have two questions at this point…
- Does it matter as long as we are recognizing a Day of Rest as a Sabbath?
- If it does matter, which day is correct?
A question that comes up frequently is this: In Genesis, we see that “God rested” on the 7th day. But some will ask, “If God is all powerful, why did He need to rest?” In your book, you share a different perspective on this view. Can you share that with us?
There are many professions, I was in the military and also in law enforcement, and we were required to work rotating schedules that would include working on some Saturday’s and Sunday’s. Some were on, some off. Hospitals and other professions do the same. How does the Biblical “day of rest” and the “Sabbath” apply to those professions?

Going Deeper in Prayer Jeff Mootz pt 1For believers, we know we are supposed to spend time with God each and every day. For those that have been following me for any length of time, you have heard me reference this as “tithing your time to God.” You give your tithes to God, right? (At least I pray you are – if not, that’s an issue right there…but a subject for a different day).
There are 24 hours in a day. Are you “so busy,” that you can’t give your Father 2 hours a day in studying the Word of God and prayer?
Our guest today has made it his life passion to help believers come to a deeper understanding, a deeper encounter with Jesus on a daily basis. This will open up Spiritual insights and understandings and the Peace of God that is not available to anyone who is not willing to spend that time with the Father. Amen!
Jeff Mootz and his wife, Bethany, have formed a ministry outreach that is making a difference in the Body of Christ. Their ministry, “Prayer Discipleship” inspires and equips believers to grow in friendship with Jesus.
They are able to do this through a very special book titled, “Going Deeper – 40 Week Discipleship Guide to Encountering Jesus,” and a corresponding “Going Deeper Video Course” that has 80+ videos that teach, encourage and provide practical demonstrations of what the book discusses.
This curriculum can be used by Bible study groups, in small group studies or individually. It is not just designed for new believers – but will help Christians at all stages of their Faith. Amen!
What is the end result those who go through the course can expect?
Did you develop this program as a discipleship program for your church, through small groups or is this something the Lord put on your heart to do “in addition to” your regular ministry activities?
Have you spoken in other churches and given an “introduction” of sorts with your presentation and allow people to register or the churches to adopt your curriculum?
I know the book itself is over 500 pages in length. It is not meant to read over a weekend. It is designed to be used over the 40 weeks with the videos to emphasize and bring out concepts, correct?
But the book can be used as a stand-alone product if someone does not want to or cannot afford the video course, correct?
Jeff, this sounds so fascinating, brother! You definitely have produced a marvelous training platform to bring people closer to the Father in an intimate way. This is absolutely fantastic!
How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “Going Deeper – 40 Week Discipleship Guide to Encountering Jesus?” Is it on Amazon?
And the video course, how can someone obtain more information on the video course or register to take the video course?
There is a cost for the video course access, correct?
Jeff, if someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or obtain more information or maybe to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
Folks, as I stated when we started this interview, we, individually, as families and as a member of church and the Body of Christ, need to draw closer to God than we have been. Especially in the day and time we live in today. Amen!
You need to drop down into the show notes below and order your own copy of Jeff Mootz’s book, “Going Deeper – 40 Week Discipleship Guide to Encountering Jesus.” This book is something that is definitely needful for each and every believer in this day and time. Amen!
Drop down into the show notes, click the link right there and for about $1 per week, you can have this absolutely fabulous book, “Going Deeper” in your hands and start your journey to a higher level of prayer. I cannot emphasize this enough. You need to really get two copies and give one to your pastor and ask if they can implement this type of training into their class structures.
Imagine if your entire church took the rest of this year to study this and the entire church were to draw closer to God on a more intimate level. Praise God! Can imagine the power you would witness and the changes in your community! Amen! Order your copies today and be sure to check out the 40 week companion video series as well.
The videos go over the basic information contained in the book, but Jeff includes a lot of bonus material in the videos that just make the book that much more powerful as you go through it. Amen!

Jeff and Bethany Mootz have been in full-time prayer ministry for over 18 years, both pastoring and discipling others in prayer. He attended and received a degree in Prayer and Biblical Studies from the International House of Prayer University in Kansas City, where he also served in pastoral positions at the Bible School.
Now living in Sioux Falls, SD, they are serving in pastoral leadership at the “Underground House of Prayer and Encounter Church,” since 2014.
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Jeff Mootz?”
Let’s back up a bit. As I was preparing for today’s interview with you, I noticed something we have in common that I just have to ask you about. The Book of Ezekiel. My calling into ministry occurred while reading Ezekiel chapter 2 and chapter 3 way back in the August of 1995. You also have a special love for the Book of Ezekiel and I was wondering if you could share that with us?
In the introduction you heard me mention, “tithing your time.” There is absolutely no doubt that daily time with in the presence of God is necessary to grow in friendship with Him and be filled with His Life. Amen! But, is that how you came to develop the two hour daily prayer time for your book and course?
Since you came across those verses in Ezekiel, how has your personal life developed in spending time with the Lord over the last, basically, 20 years?
Let me ask you this. Why this book and why now?
How long did it take you to develop this program, test it, revamp it and bring it to the form it is in today?
Let’s talk about your book, “Going Deeper.” Did you write the book first and then record the videos, or did you write the book from the videos?
How did you settle on a 40-week timeline to consume all of the elements of this teaching on prayer?
Folks, as I stated when we started this interview, we, individually, as families and as a member of church and the Body of Christ, need to draw closer to God than we have been. Especially in the day and time we live in today. Amen!
You need to drop down into the show notes below and order your own copy of Jeff Mootz’s book, “Going Deeper – 40 Week Discipleship Guide to Encountering Jesus.” This book is something that is definitely needful for each and every believer in this day and time. Amen!

A Life Half Lived Darryl Rodgers pt 2Almost the worst scenario any parent could ever go through is the loss of a child. Thankfully, I have not had to experience that. But I know many, many people who have. There is always the self-imposed guilt of “What could I have done differently?” and “Why did this happen?”
This is especially so whenever some type of addiction, drug, alcohol or whatever, is involved.
My guest today has experienced this also. I’ll let him share the story.
But Darryl Rodgers came out the other side of the grief, ready to help others who may be going down the same path his son, Chase, went down. He has been helping parents who ask themselves the same questions. He is also ready to help parents who are going through the addiction stage and wanting to help their child.
Darryl has written a book about his son, Chase, titled “A Life Half Lived,” published in 2015, but the information contained in this book is just as relevant today. Darryl Rodgers is not only an author, but a family recovery coach and conference speaker on this topic as well.
What are, what you call, “The Three C’s” for parents of children with a substance disorder? (You did not cause it; you can’t control it; you can’t cure it)
You assist other parents who are wondering what to do with their addicted child. How do you help them?
You list 8 signs that it is time for parents to give their children an ultimatum. What are those 8 signs and what is the ultimatum they should issue?
As parents, we all are worried about our adult children, especially when we see them making mistakes. I mean clearly bad choices. Other than sounding like we are meddling, should we be doing something different to let them know we do not approve of what they are doing? Won’t that drive them away?
Can you share with us the “Big Secret” to recovery from addiction?
You are a “Family Recovery Coach.” Why should parents seek out the services of a “Family Recovery Coach” such as yourself?”
Darryl, this has been truly informative. I know there is someone somewhere out there right now that has listened to this and said, “That’s Me.” Whether for better or worse, they have identified themselves from what you have shared.
If someone has a question and would like to reach out to you for more information, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you? On your website, you offer a free list of resources to anyone who has a child and the parent wants to know how to obtain help and more information.
Your book, “A Life Half Lived,” how can someone obtain a copy? Is it on Amazon?
And the free resource list is available on your website, correct?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, addiction is real pandemic in this nation right now, whether you, our us, as a nation, want to admit it. It’s worse now than it has ever been, even for old folks like me and Darryl… we never faced things like we see today.
Our children need us to help them. They may not like it. We may be uncomfortable. But we still need to be there for them. As Darryl has been sharing, there is a right way and a wrong way to help. Make sure you know the right way – to avoid driving them farther away, or worse, when they need you the most.
Drop down into the show notes and click the links right there to get in touch with Darryl Rodgers. Order his book while you are there. This book will give you a glimpse into what can happen and what the possibilities are for you to avoid that kind of outcome. Order your book today. Amen!

Let’s go back to the beginning. Your son, Chase, was an athlete that was attending college on a football scholarship. What happened after he left home and started to attend college?
You share that you really did not know the proper role for parenting in this situation and that you may have been actually enabling Chase during his recovery that may have led to his relapse. Can you explain that for us?
Other than the immediate shock and grief, did you feel like you let him down? What were your thoughts and actions during that time?
This led to you immersing yourself in studying everything you could about substance abuse disorders. What did you learn that you did wrong and should have done differently?
Tell us about the book you wrote in 2015 about Chase “A Life Half Lived,” was this a sort of therapy for you or a tribute to your son? What was the purpose of the book?
Folks, addiction is real pandemic in this nation right now, whether you, our us, as a nation, want to admit it. It’s worse now than it has ever been, even for old folks like me and Darryl… we never faced things like we see today.

Still Hear Book Series Kermit Zarley pt 2As everyone who listens to these programs know, I firmly believe we are living in the last of the last days before the return of Jesus to this earth. I can’t help but look at the news we see every night on the television and relate it to Bible Prophecy.
Our guest today, Kermit Zarley, has had a very interesting past, one that has been blessed by God, for sure. He is an expert on Bible Prophecy and has been studying the Bible for the last 50 years. What has he been doing in that 50 years?
Kermit Zarley spent 30 years, full time, on the PGA Tour and afterwards, on the Senior/Champions Tour. In those 30 years, he won 5 tournaments and was runner-up 17 times! He also co-founded and led the PGA Tour Bible Study, which still thrives today, 55 years later.
Now retired, Kermit is a “pioneering author of books on biblical studies,” with 9 books published (and his first book, “The Gospel,” was endorsed by non-other than Billy Graham. Praise God)!
Kermit is now writing a 12-book series on Bible prophecy entitled, “Still Here,” with four of these books already published. This is part two of a great two part interview!
Book Two is “Warrior From Heaven” and it was published in 2009 and is about Jesus, our “warrior King” delivering the nation of Israel at His Second Coming…
Book Three is a little more current, published in 2020, titled, “Moses Predicted COVID-19.” Let me ask you, “did Moses predict COVID-19?”
Should we be eating Kosher from this point on in an effort to keep ourselves and our families healthy?
Book Four is an interesting book, titled, “Bible Predicts Trump Fall” and was published last year in 2022. From what I’ve read, you were not a “Trump fan” from the start. What did you see in the man that caused you to feel that way?
You were writing these things extensively on your blog while Donald Trump was president. So these were not “hindsight” taking events that already occurred and then writing them down. How was your blog being received by fellow believers while this was going on?
Can you share some of the Bible scriptures you shared about Donald Trump that applied to him while he was president?
This book series is supposed to be a twelve book series. What is the next book in the series titled and when do you believe it will be published?
When you see the huge, natural disasters happening, many in places that have not had to deal with things on this level before; and you see the “wars and rumors of wars” going on – mainly between China, Russia, Iran and the United States; inflation and crime out of control; the breakdown of social norms, etc., What is your opinion on what the short term future holds for this nation and for the world?
Kermit shares his contact information and a very special offer for YOU (our listeners)!
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, as we stated in the beginning, there can be no doubt we are living in the last day. Jesus return is immanent. Things are only going to get worse before they ever get better. We can see it happening every single night on the news. It should not be a shock to any believer.
What will YOU do to prepare? What will YOU do to share the Gospel before it’s too late?
I recommend you drop down into the show notes and order one, two or more of these excellent books by Kermit Zarley. Amen! Do it right now before the devil tries to distract you so you forget all about it.
I highly, highly recommend the “Gospels Interwoven.” I have personally used this book to help me in by Bible studies. I can attest to the power of reading the Gospels straight through without repeats and wondering why one writer put this story before this event and another after. Kermit did all the work in synching these things up into a complete narrative that is excellent. I highly, highly encourage to get at least that book.
Let’s not forget about the “Still Here” book series as well. These are important books that will build your Faith as well. Amen! While you are there, on Amazon or elsewhere, look up his other books. Folks, ALL of these books are theologically accurate and will help you to go deeper into your Faith than you ever thought possible. Amen!
Drop down into the show notes and order your copies today.

Help me welcome to the program, Kermit Zarley! Kermit, it is such a blessing to have you on the program today!
First question I always start with, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Kermit Zarley?”
You were studying the Bible even before you went on tour, correct?
How did you manage to write books on theology while managing a full time PGA career?
After you wrote “The Gospels Interwoven,” did you realize you would continue to write book?
When you co-founded the PGA Tour Bible Study group, did you think it would last as long as it has?
I know the rounds start very early in the mornings. Then there is travel between events, etc. When did your Bible Study meet?
You hold to the belief of the “historic premillennialist” and thus are a “post-tribulationist.”
I can respect that. I hold to the same views, but at the same time, I have to admit, I pray to be taken out via the Rapture BEFORE all the trouble starts. But at the same time, I do believe we are going to be going through some troubling times in the not too distant future.
Can you share with our listeners why you hold to the post-tribulation view point rather than the pre-tribulation theory that is popular today?
Let’s look at this book series, “Still Here.” You began this book series in 2006, with “The Third Day Bible Code.” Can you give us a synopsis of this first book in the series and has your premise changed since you first published the book?
Folks, as we stated in the beginning, there can be no doubt we are living in the last day. Jesus return is immanent. Things are only going to get worse before they ever get better. We can see it happening every single night on the news. It should not be a shock to any believer.
What will YOU do to prepare? What will YOU do to share the Gospel before it’s too late?

How to Write & Publish a Book Joseph M. Lenard pt 2I know many of our listeners have a book inside them and the Lord has put it on your hearts to write that book, but you’re not sure of how to go about it. You’re not sure of the publishing options. You’re not sure if you should hire an editor. You’re not sure of a lot of things.
About a year ago, I interviewed author Joseph M. Lenard on the process he used to write his amazing book, “Terror Strikes: Coming Soon to a City Near You,”
We has such an amazing conversation on this topic and it helped so many people to find out just how they could write a book that they have been carrying around inside of them. In some cases, for years. Amen!
Well, Joseph went to work and has just launched a book designed to take you by the hand and walk you through the entire process of writing and publishing a book. It’s titled, “How to Write and Publish a Book!” Go figure, right!
Joseph has come back on the program today to share all about this great book with us.
This is part two of a great two part interview!Once the book is written and edited, how can we get it published? What are the different options available to the author of a book?
If someone goes with a traditional publisher, what percentage of each sale does the author, on average, receive – as compared to self-publishing?
What about marketing and promoting the book? Do traditional publishing houses handle this for the authors?
For the self-published author, they have to handle the book promotions themselves, right?
Right now, your book, “How to Write a Book and Get it Published” is only an e-book, correct?
So your book is published now, but on Amazon only?
How can our listeners obtain a copy of your book, “How to Write a Book and Get it Published?”
Joseph, this sounds like something a lot of people will be able to use. If someone has a question or would like to reach out or maybe do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all this in the show notes below.
Folks, Joseph M. Lenard has written this book to help YOU. Each person listening to us right now, has a book inside of them, wanting to get out. Amen!
All you have to do is order Joseph’s book, “How to Write a Book and Get it Published” and you will have, basically, Joseph Lenard himself, taking you by the hand and walking you through the entire process. Amen! It doesn’t get any easier than that!
Drop down into the show notes and order your copy of this great e-book today, “How to Write a Book and Get it Published,” by Joseph M. Lenard.

Lenard pt 1I know many of our listeners have a book inside them and the Lord has put it on your hearts to write that book, but you’re not sure of how to go about it. You’re not sure of the publishing options. You’re not sure if you should hire an editor. You’re not sure of a lot of things.
About a year ago, I interviewed author Joseph M. Lenard on the process he used to write his amazing book, “Terror Strikes: Coming Soon to a City Near You,”
We has such an amazing conversation on this topic and it helped so many people to find out just how they could write a book that they have been carrying around inside of them. In some cases, for years. Amen!
Well, Joseph went to work and has just launched a book designed to take you by the hand and walk you through the entire process of writing and publishing a book. It’s titled, “How to Write and Publish a Book!” Go figure, right!
Joseph has come back on the program today to share all about this great book with us.
Help me welcome back to the program, Joseph M. Lenard! Joseph, it is a blessing to have you back on the program, brother!
For those that may not have heard our interview before, can you share with us in your own words, “Who is Joseph M. Lenard?
We covered this original subject on our podcast last year, but now you have actually created an actual book that provides information everyone can use to write and publish their own book, correct?
What made you decide to put this information into book form?
Does your book walk a person through a process? In other words, is it a “take you by the hand” type of book that results in a person completing and publishing their own book?
What about editing?

Four Commands of Christ James Ford pt 1How many of you, listening to me right now, when you were born again, you were on fire for Christ? I mean, this was THE best thing ever! You talked about your Faith at work and with friends. You attended church. If there was a special event or conference coming to town, you were there. It was AWESOME!
Then, life began to creep back into your life. The devil started to whisper, “Is that all there is?” You started to skip the Bible study meetings. Not all of them, but it started. Then came a Sunday when you “just didn’t feel like going…” Then…and then… and then…
Until one day, you just felt like you let Jesus down. You were undeserving. You were, should I say it? “A SINNER.”
Well, don’t feel alone. It happens to everyone. Me as well. Our guest today has experienced that, too. The only issue is when you allow it to take over your life. When you realize what has happened and don’t do anything about it.
That allows the devil to take the foothold and begin to build a castle in and around your life. You need to understand that and how to combat that. Once you do, then life begins to spring up all around you and in your spirit man – again! With a renewed purpose and Love – the Love of God! Amen!
James Ford was a carpenter by trade, with no formal training other than a high school graduate. But God had given him talent and natural abilities to be a blessing to others through construction.
He was born again and on fire for the Lord at age sixteen…and immediately had an encounter with the Lord. But just four years or so later, he left off following the Lord and questioning his Christianity.
Let me just say here, that although John left God, God did not leave John. Amen!
Many years later, James realized God had a mission for him. And was given the mission to share with the world, “The Four Commands of Christ, Disciplines of Faith.” His ministry name is “The Ark Project US.”
John Ford has now published a book by the same name, “The Four Commands of Christ, Disciplines of Faith,” and he is here today to share with us his testimony, his ministry and all about this great book!
Help me welcome to the program, James Ford, author of “The Four Commands of Christ.” James, thank you for taking the time to join us today.
When were you led by the Lord to write and publish this book, “The Four Commands of Christ?”
Your testimony, and mine as well, was basically trying to “find ourself” and our purpose in life. The purpose that God had for us to be born in the first place. Our purpose in the Body of Christ and how we were to serve our Lord.
How do people find their purpose and mission in life?
In your book, you talk a lot about the “Armor of God.” Can you share with us your points on living with the “Armor of God,” what it does and how we are to utilize it?
You can talk to just about any believer today and they all will be in agreement, at least for the most part if they are Holy Spirit filled believers, that we are living in the last of the last days. How do you interpret the Bible in light of the day and time in which we live today?
James, this has been so fascinating. How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “The Four Commands of Christ, Disciplines of Faith?” Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or get more information on your ministry or maybe to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, James Ford has written this book under the inspiration and command of the Holy Spirit. He has quantified some very important things into just a few major commands. “The FOUR Commands of Christ.” Praise God!
You need to drop down into the show notes below, right now while you are thinking about, and click the link right there to order this great book. Your life will not be the same, guaranteed. Amen! Buy one, two or three copies and share them. Ask you pastor to order enough copies for your next topical study in your weekly Bible study groups. You need the information that is in this book. Amen!
Drop down into the show notes and order your copy today.

Help me welcome to the program, James Ford, author of “The Four Commands of Christ.” James, thank you for taking the time to join us today.
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is James Ford?”
Let’s go way back to the beginning, when you were born again at age sixteen. You said there was an encounter with the Lord that happened almost immediately. Can you share that experience with us and what happened?
So you just continued on in the construction business, living your life, etc. Until 1980. Then what happened?
You came back to the Lord because of listening to Christian radio?
(You see folks, you don’t have to go to church and ask the pastor to pray for you. Just like James, I was not born again in a church, I did not have anyone pray for me. I prayed to the Lord out of my desperation and He heard me and, without going into my entire testimony again, I WAS BORN AGAIN and my life has never been the same since. Amen)!
Your calling into ministry was from the Book of Ezekiel. I also have the Book of Ezekiel, chapter two and chapter three, for my calling. But the primary calling He gave to me, was from Ezekiel 3:1-11 and specifically verses 5-8.
That made complete sense to me, because I’ve always been told growing up that I was hardheaded! But the point is, I’m not sent to be a missionary overseas, etc. I’m here to proclaim the Gospel to the United States, so they are without excuse.
Your calling was a bit farther down in Ezekiel 3:17. Care to share that with us?
One thing you cover in your book, and I’m absolutely in agreement with, is there is a difference between knowing about Christ and knowing Christ. Loving Christ. Serving Christ. Surrendering to Christ and maintaining that kind of relationship with Him. And you use the phrase, “tithing your time.”
I have used that phrase for over 25 years and I’m shocked that, even now, when I say that, people don’t understand what it means. “How can I tithe my time?” So you and I are on the same page there. Can you explain that for our listeners?
Folks, James Ford has written this book under the inspiration and command of the Holy Spirit. He has quantified some very important things into just a few major commands. “The FOUR Commands of Christ.” Praise God!

Is God About to Seal the Deal? Richard Ruhling pt 2The Bible is clear in Matthew 24:37-40, “As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man. Forinthedaysbefore theflood,people wereeatinganddrinking,marrying andgiving in marriage,up tothedayNoahentered theark. And they were oblivious, until the flood came and swept them all away. So will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.…”
To help bring some clarity to this topic and prayerfully touch the hearts of someone somewhere today with the Truth of the Bible, our good friend, Dr. Richard Ruhling is back to discuss this scripture, as well as some others with us, about just how close we truly are to what the Bible calls, “the end time.”
In marriage, the bride takes the name of the husband (at least that’s how it’s supposed to work, I can’t speak for this day and time)…
Isn’t marriage based on the Covenant?
We talked about the first seal, let’s talk about the second seal. This brings worldwide war to the planet, correct? (Exodus 34:10)
But doesn’t Jesus tell us the first, Elijah must come to “restore all things?” When does that happen?
What is revealed in the 3rd seal in Revelation 6?
What about the “Statutes, Judgements and Sabbaths mentioned in Ezekiel 20? Do these things indicate an end time Truth that the Bible is trying to communicate to us?
Do you see us either approaching the opening of the seals for the end times, or in your opinion, are we already there?
We see, in the world right now, basically ethnic group against ethnic group, many with nuclear weapons, and all of them are basically out of control.
In Matthew 24:22, which states: “unless those days be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: for the elect’s sake, those days shall be shortened…” Could it be that prophecy is not so much about God destroying the earth, but about man destroying humanity – and then God intervenes to save humanity from destroying itself?
Dr. Ruhling, as we get ready to close, I know you released a book detailing some horrific things about to happen in 2023. I’m speaking, of course, about your book, “MegaQuake 2023.” Are there any signs you can point to that this is still building to a “MegaQuake” in the coming year?
How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “MegaQuake 2023?” Is it on Amazon?
Dr. Ruhling this has been, again, so interesting. I could talk to you for hours. If someone wanted to get in touch with you, maybe to ask a question or perhaps do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
Folks, as always, Dr. Ruhling is leaving us with some serious things we need to think and pray about. If you or your loved ones are not right with God, there is not much time left. You need to pray and enter into that place where you are in fellowship with Him. Time is running out. We can see it happening right before our very eyes! Amen!
I also encourage you to drop down into the show notes and click the links there to get in touch with Dr. Ruhling and be sure to order your copy of “MegaQuake 2023.” Get it, read it, preach it! Praise God. And order “The Earthquake and the Seven Seals,” as well.

Just to recap a bit from what we discussed last time, can you share with us what you have found from Paul’s letter in First Corinthians 10, verses 1-11, as the Exodus being an example for us?
God also said in Exodus 9:5-6, “If you will obey my voice and keep my covenant, then you shall be to me a kingdom.” This applies to us today, as well, correct? Did we keep His covenant?
In Revelation 6, we read where Jesus restores God’s Name in the 1st seal. When did we lose God’s Name?
Doesn’t the L-O-R-D (all in caps) translate as Jehovah God?
(I-A-U-A)
In marriage, the bride takes the name of the husband (at least that’s how it’s supposed to work, I can’t speak for this day and time)…

Deliverance – Patrick Jaiyeoba pt 2Most people, when they hear the word “deliverance,” think about demonic possession and undergoing an “exorcism” like the movies. Or, they may think back to the movie by the same name set in the bayou of Louisiana…
My guest today is here to set the record straight. He is the author of a great book titled, “The Freedom Experience: A Practical Guide to Deliverance and Emotional Healing.”
Patrick Jaiyeoba is a trained and certified Minister of Deliverance, Emotional and Physical Healing by Global Awakening College of Ministry.
He currently serves on the pastoral team at the City Light International Church where he is the Asst. Director of Small Groups and a co-host of Sunday services. He also hosts a podcast called “The Freedom Reality,” where he teaches and converses with reputable Christian leaders on freedom in Christ.
Is forgiving others for wrongs they have done to us, this is probably one of the most important steps in deliverance ministry success. Correct?
END PART ONE
Is it possible to delivered from this type of oppression in one area and still have lingering demonic oppression in others?
How can we tell if there is multiple areas we need to work on?
Share with us about generational curses and whether these types of demonic oppression can be broken by what we are talking about today?
How do we find someone near us that is qualified to do this sort of ministry, such as yourself?
In your book, “The Freedom Experience,” you provide all of this information to allow someone to identify, work on and break these types of curses and things?
How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “The Freedom Experience: A Practical Guide to Deliverance and Emotional Healing?” Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or obtain more information, or maybe to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, the devil is real. His demons are real. They have one desire, to get you to stop serving the Lord Jesus Christ. This is something that has been ongoing since the Garden of Eden and it is not going to stop until Jesus comes back (which is very, very soon).
The “Good News” in all of this is that Jesus already defeated the devil and his demons. Then, he turned around and gave to us – to YOU – His authority in His Name, the wonderful Name of Jesus, so YOU can put a stop these demons and devils right in their tracks. Praise God!
To help you do that, Patrick Jaiyeoba as written this powerful book that will get you prepared and to help you overcome demonic oppression. Use this book with your Bible and find out just how powerful YOU really are (in Christ) – and how weak the devil and his minions really are (because of Christ). Praise God!
I urge you to drop down below and grab your copy of Patrick Jaiyeoba’s book, “The Freedom Experience: A Practical Guide to Deliverance and Emotional Healing” right now, while you are thinking about. The devil does not like the idea of you finding this stuff out for yourself and he will try to “come immediately and steal the seed sown in your heart.” Jesus Himself warned us of this. So, before the thief can come and hinder you, just click the link right there and take possession of this great book. Amen!

The Prophetic Almanac for 2023 Pastor Bill Jenkins pt 2Every year, about this time, I ask Pastor Bill to come back on and share with us his insights from the Word of God as he talks about the new issue of “The Prophetic Almanac” as it relates to the coming year. And that is what we will be talking about today as we leave a very hectic and chaotic 2022 behind and are moving forward into 2023.
Coming back in part two of an amazing interview today, is Pastor Bill Jenkins of the Destinyland Christian Center in Rancho Cucuamonga, California. Every year, he releases a new book titled, “The Prophetic Almanac.”
If you have ever heard of the “The Farmer’s Almanac,” well the “Prophetic Almanac” is the Spiritual equivalent that will release a spiritual vision for your personal life and it gives a prophetic forecast for our nation. Amen!
He has written numerous books and has become known as a modern day Apostle of God with a prophetic voice. He and his wife, Britain, work extremely hard to release the message of HOPE into our world (and very needful, for such a time as this, I might add).
Pastor Jenkins takes some of the toughest passages of scripture and explains them in a practical and interesting way. He is quickly becoming the “Go To” guy when it comes to Biblical interpretation.
He also has had a radio program on “Evangelism Radio” for several years. His program runs Monday through Friday from 10-1030am Eastern Time.
Let’s get into some specifics about the year 2023. What does the number 2023 and the number 23 stand for in the Bible?
What is the major thing, if you had to list one or may two, which the Lord is showing you to watch out for and prepare for this year?
You are not glorifying numerology or things like that. Can you share the difference between what you do in the “Prophetic Almanac” and soothsaying using numerology?
In your book, you discuss birth months that correspond with the current year. Can you share with us information concerning the birth month for this year and being born on the 23rd day of the month?
You also share some specifics for different geographic areas of the United States. Can you briefly give us a glimpse into some highlights for that section of the book?
Let’s talk about the continuing presence of COVID. What are you seeing concerning this virus and will it continue to dominate the news in 2023?
Pastor, as usual, this has been an awesome time. How can someone get a copy of your book, “The Prophetic Almanac for 2023?” Is it available on Amazon?
I’ll put all of that down in the show notes below.
Folks, you need to get a copy of this book, “The Prophetic Almanac” for 2023. There is so much happening prophetically in this nation, and around the world, right now. You need to be aware of what is happening all around you. Do not be taken by surprise. Go to the links down below, order your copy. Order three or four and give them away! Praise God. Get in touch with Pastor Bill Jenkins as well. Take a look around his websites, order his materials. I’m telling you, folks, you will be blessed beyond measure. Amen!
Also, I want to remind you again, that for the last several years or so, Pastor Bill has a daily program, Monday – Saturday at 10am ET on Evangelism Radio at www.evangelismradio.com and you can listen to his excellent teachings right there as well.

The Prophetic Almanac for 2023 Pastor Bill Jenkins pt 1Well, 2022 has been an interesting and a trying year. We’ve seen Christianity attacked in this nation like never before. We’ve seen politicians just, basically, surrendering the sovereignty of this nation. We’ve seen natural disasters on a scale that, some say, has not happened for hundreds, if not a thousand years.
But, for believers, this is not a time of doom and gloom! Far from it. We are told by Jesus in Luke 21:28 that “When these things begin to take place, look up, for your redemption is drawing near!” Amen!
With all that is happening, wouldn’t it be nice to have a peek at what is going to happen in the next year or so? It takes someone with a special gift from God to be able to do that without sounding like a soothsayer or a nut job, right! It take someone anointed by God with this gift to lay things out in a logical format. And that is what my guest will do today!
Our guest today is Pastor Bill Jenkins of the Destinyland Christian Center in Rancho Cucuamonga, California. Every year, he releases a new book titled, “The Prophetic Almanac.”

Pastor Bill Jenkins is a 1991 graduate from Christ for the Nations in Dallas, Texas, my old stomping grounds for a few years... He has been in ministry for 30 years. He also had his own Television Program on the Trinity Broadcasting Network - and has hosted the “Praise the Lord” program a few times as well. AMEN!
He has written numerous books and has become known as a modern day Apostle of God with a prophetic voice. He and his wife, Britain, work extremely hard to release the message of HOPE into our world (and very needful, for such a time as this, I might add).

Help me welcome back to the program, Pastor Bill Jenkins. Pastor, thank you for taking the time to visit with us today!
Pastor, for those that may be new to the program and have not heard our interviews before, can you share with us in your own words, “Who is Pastor Bill Jenkins?”
Pastor, how long have you been publishing “The Prophetic Almanac?”
Before we get into 2023, let’s recap a bit from 2022…
Last year, on our program, you said there was going to be things exposed that have been kept secret for ages. Did that happen this year that was referenced in your 2022 edition?
I can’t remember if you discussed anything related to the Supreme Court hearing on abortion that was handed down. Was something along those lines included in the 2022 edition?
Last year, you shared how the majority would “echo” what the popular sayings, the news and others deem as appropriate, and that anyone who raises a concern or takes a traditional Christian stance would be attacked. I think we can say we have seen that come to pass this year like never before… do you agree?
I know last year, you discussed how the border would become a central issue, not just for the south, but for the country. And we have seen that happen as the illegal immigrants are being sent inland all over America. What has God showed you concerning this for 2023?
We understand, from the Book of Romans, that the “wages of sin is death.” Has the United States come to the point where “payday is here?” Is 2023 going to be a year of reckoning?
I remember last year, and this is on the recording… you warned there were going to be natural disasters on an unprecedented scale – and we seen it happen. What does 2023 hold in store for us along those lines?
Vicenarian is the “Word for 2023” – the younger generation is going to start raising up and take their rightful place.
Folks, you need to get a copy of this book, “The Prophetic Almanac” for 2023. There is so much happening prophetically in this nation, and around the world, right now.

Embrace Your Youier – El Edwards pt 2How many of you have entered into a relationship and just knew in your heart that this what you were meant for? This is what God has designed for you? And now, you’re living the dream!
At least until you start getting stuck in the mud and facing the mundane? You put on a good show, but you know in your heart that it is all a façade. God knows your putting on a show, too. Others around you, including your family, may not know it – but God does. Any hands?
Well, my guest today lived that type of life. She grew up in a Christian home. She was figuring out what she wanted to do with her life. It went from medicine to pharmacy to music. She was going to go to a prestigious school of music but – fell in love.
Every Sunday in church, she told God she would start to read His Word on a more frequent basis. Leave church, only to come back the next week and repeat the same promise! (Does that sound familiar? Don’t shout me down when I’m preaching good)!
Eleanor Edwards is that woman and she on a mission to help you move from “be you” to “Youier!” To embrace who you are when you’re not trying to live by anyone else’s expectations and to step into the incredible story God has written for your life.
She is an author of several books, including one by the same title, “Youier – Fully Alive, Fully Human.”
She has a podcast by the same name, “Youier,” and has a social community called “The Blue House” for daily encouragement, accountability and prayer requests. Amen! She wants to help others to step into the plan and purpose God has for them and to have a great time doing it! Amen!
This is part two of a great two part interview!
I loved when I saw that you believe you can have a regular conversation with God, just like you can with your best friend. I believe the same way it just elevated my Faith to a new level and allowed God to work in my life in ways I could not have imagined.
I was listening to a couple of your episodes and you recently announced the end of the “Youier Podcast” at the end of 2022. Why?
Share with us a little about your online community, the “Blue House…”
Inside “The Blue House” is the “Rainbow Room.” Can you tell us what this is all about?
You have written quite a few books as well. I think I seen one that was released back in 2015 or 2016, correct?
The latest is “Youier – Fully Alive, Fully Human.” Can you share a bit about that book with us?
El, this has really been interesting and you are a fun guest to have. If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question, get more information or maybe even to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
Your books, especially your latest book, “Youier – Fully Alive, Fully Human,” how can someone obtain a copy of your book? I is it on Amazon?
All your books are on Amazon, correct?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, as you have heard, El Edwards is on fire for God! Amen! And she is dedicated, no – called – to help others realize they can be just as on fire for God as she is! Glory to God!
I want to encourage you to drop down into the show notes and get in touch with El. Join her “Blue House” program. Start to realize some of the potential that God has planned for you – as El Edwards shares, “…to step into the incredible story God’s written for your life!” Amen!

Embrace Your Youier – El Edwards pt 1How many of you have entered into a relationship and just knew in your heart that this what you were meant for? This is what God has designed for you? And now, you’re living the dream!
At least until you start getting stuck in the mud and facing the mundane? You put on a good show, but you know in your heart that it is all a façade. God knows your putting on a show, too. Others around you, including your family, may not know it – but God does. Any hands?

First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is El Edwards?”
Now, just to be clear, explain the phrase, “Youier!” for us…
Let’s go back a bit. As I was preparing for today’s program, you caught my attention with your “origin story” of being “scared out of hell” at the age of 12 or 13. Can you share what happened and how that changed your life?
You were in your 20’s when you were, “loved into Heaven.” Share that story with us…
How did that change your perspective on life?

Bridge of Hope San Diego Sheri Briggs pt 2Many people in this world are hurting today. So many people often find themselves in situations where they literally have nowhere to go. They could be escaping domestic violence. They could be facing a family crisis and find themselves homeless. They could be overcoming a drug addiction or coping with literally any type of situation that causes vulnerability and uncertainty. Even fleeing a war torn nation and leaving everything behind.
Sheri Briggs was in that situation. She was a single mom trying to care for her son Nathan. She was not seeking advice or well wishes. She was seeking furniture, pots and pans and things like that to help her give her son the best she possibly could. When she received these things through people who cared, she received strength and encouragement and realized there was a God of Hope that saw her and her son was going to provide for them.
That part of Sheri’s story is the foundation of what now has become “Bridge of Hope” in San Diego. She founded this organization to help embattled women to recover from domestic violence situations. It has grown way beyond that stage now. Amen!
Sheri is also the author of a book, “Relentless Pursuit – God’s Gentle Guidance Amidst the Storm”.
This is part two of a great two part interview!
Take us back to about 1989 or so. Can you share with us what was going on in your life at that time?
Where did you turn to find the resources you needed?
You worked your way out of the mess and into helping others manage their messes and achieve their breakthroughs. Can you share was sparked you deciding to become involved in what is now “Bridge of Hope San Diego?”
You started out of your own apartment, is that correct? How quickly did you outgrow that space?
What services do you offer to those seeking help?
You also work with outside agencies and case workers that will send people to your program for help, right?
You lost your son, Nathan, in a diving accident in 2015. That was about ten years after forming Bridges of Hope. Now you were the one hurting again. Did your workers help you through your grief or did you turn your grief into further outreach? Share with us about that difficult time…
Does your husband help with the management of the organization as well?
You have a program called “From Under His Wings – Grief and Living Support.” Can you share with us about this program?
Sheri, this has been so interesting. If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask questions, perhaps send along offerings of support for “Bridge of Hope,” or maybe just to do an interview such as this. How can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
And your book, how can they order your book, “Relentless Pursuit – God’s Gentle Guidance Amidst the Storm”? Is it on Amazon?
I’ll put links to all of this down in the show notes.
Folks, Sheri has lived a life that many people would not wish upon anyone. But, with the help and the strength of God, she not only survived – she overcame and now, she is fighting the enemy right there in the trenches helping others to overcome the same types of adversity. Praise God! Amen! She has gone through the test and has now turned into a TESTIMONY! Amen!
I want to encourage you to start this year off right. How about sending along an offer of support to “Bridge of Hope San Diego?” There is no offering that is considered too small. A little here and a little there, God can multiply it in so many ways that it suddenly can feed thousands! Amen! “Don’t shout me down when I’m preaching good!” Glory to God! Just click the link right in the show notes below and reach out. Bless Sheri and “Bridge of Hope San Diego” with the best love offering you can or whatever the Lord lays on your heart to share. Amen!
And, while you are there in the show notes, be sure to click the link to order Sheri’s book, “Relentless Pursuit – God’s Gentle Guidance Amidst the Storm”. This book will encourage you to overcome whatever situation YOU are facing right now as well.
You will be challenged to see a loving, all-seeing, all-knowing God right in midst of the storm! Amen! You will be able to believe God’s Word on a deeper level and His call on your life and – by Faith – step out into the perfect will of God for you! Amen!

First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Sheri Briggs?”
Let’s start with your book, “Relentless Pursuit – God’s Gentle Guidance Amidst the Storm” was just released in November 2022. Why did you write this book and why did you do it at this point in time?
In the beginning of your book, you describe your childhood life of, basically, living in fear. Your dad was an alcoholic. Mine as well… I can relate. Share with us a little of your upbringing…
Your mother became heavily involved in a religious cult, correct? How did that affect you growing up?
At what point were you able to escape that mess?
Take us back to about 1989 or so. Can you share with us what was going on in your life at that time?

Prophecy and Artificial Intelligence Guy Morris pt 3For those that listen to this podcast and our radio broadcast, you know I’ve been preaching about the “end times” for several years now. How we can tell it is getting closer and closer just by watching the news on television every night.
Between the chaos, the climate, the wars and rumors of wars, we also have scientific development that has the ability to wipe out the human race through pandemics, etc. and through the use of technology.
Our guest today has written several books that will shake you awake and realize just how a precarious situation we are living in right now. His first was “The Curse of Cortes,” followed by “Swarm: Artificial Intelligence Decodes End Time Prophecies.” And the most recent book is titled, “The Last Ark: Lost Secrets of Qumran.”
In his books, Guy Morris, blends real life technological advances and real life situations we are facing with religious research with current events and then adds in artificial intelligence scenarios that will have you on the edge of your seat! Amen!
This is part three, and the conclusion, of an amazing interview!Does Artificial Intelligence pose a risk to everyday Americans, or people around the world for that matter, as to hacking our accounts or identity theft?
Jesus said that in the end times, in Matthew 24:22, that “unless those days be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: for the elect’s sake, those days shall be shortened…”
You share on your website a question, “What if prophecy IS NOT about how God will destroy humanity, but how humanity will destroy itself?” Explain that for us in light of what we have been discussing today and how the probability of AI getting out of control and possibly destroying humanity, etc.
So, prophecy is basically the “alarm clock” for humanity?
Before we get ready to close, I want to talk about two books you’ve written, two in a series titled “SNO Chronicles.” What does “SNO” stand for?
The first book was released in 2020 and titled, “SWARM.” Can you share a little teaser about this book for us?
Was this the result of “something to do during lock down” type of book? Or had you been working on it before then?
The second book is titled, “The Last Ark.” Can you share with us a bit about this book?
Guy, this is so interesting, I could talk about this for hours. But we are about out of time. How can someone order copies of your books, are they on Amazon?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or perhaps do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, as I stated at the beginning, there is absolutely no way an person with any spiritual insight at all could deny that we are living in the last of the last days. How close are we to the actual last days, is anybody’s guess, but it’s close. Very close.
You need to drop down into the show notes and click the link to visit Guy Morris’ website. The information on there is riveting, to say the least.
Be sure to click the links to order his great books, “Swarm” and “The Last Ark.” These books are riveting and are guaranteed to hold your attention and make you think.
“Think about what, brother Bob?”
Like we discussed the most important question earlier. “What if prophecy is not about how God will destroy humanity, but how humanity will destroy itself. The point of prophecy is not to predict the future or stew in dystopic fear, but to evaluate the present to re-think our life priorities. Prophesy is the alarm clock for humanity.”

Guy Morris has multiple degrees and over 36 years of leadership experience at companies like IBM, Oracle and Microsoft. He is proven thought leader in adapting advanced technologies and implementing complex IT applications. His success stories range from designing a macro-economic model that out-performed the Federal Reserve and all major banks, to building world-wide high performance teams to innovating early Artificial Intelligence systems technology. He is also a Disney published composer, a musician with multiple CD’s, a researcher of history and prophecy as well as an author of Artificial Intelligence, espionage, religious, political and history thrillers.
In part one, Guy Morris discussed his background and presented the premise for these books on end time scenarios. This is part two of a great three part interview!
I’ve seen some videos where an AI robot or whatever is talking and answering questions with actual people…and the AI actually says something to the effect that, if it was necessary for its (the AI’s) survival, they will lie to protect themselves. Was this just make up for the video or does AI have the ability to interpret measures taken by humans as a threat to its existence and “lie” to protect itself?
Does Artificial Intelligence pose a risk to everyday Americans, or people around the world for that matter, as to hacking our accounts or identity theft?

I could take hours to interview you on all the various things you’ve done. But I want to focus today in Artificial Intelligence as it relates to end time prophecy.
Let’s start with your definition of what AI is and how it has evolved since you started working with it…
There are many different types of artificial intelligence. Can you share with us the major types, what they are, how they are different and how they interact, with each other and possibly with us?
Is it true that anyone with enough money can hire a team to set up their own AI for any reason?
Why isn’t this technology regulated by the government?
Like we discussed the most important question earlier. “What if prophecy is not about how God will destroy humanity, but how humanity will destroy itself.

The God Walk App Daniel Krynzel pt 2How many of you remember the prosperous times when the housing market was soaring; when it seemed like no matter what you did, you could make money. Many, many businesses were started and becoming successful. Housing areas were being built all over the place.
Then, the housing market crashed – and crashed hard – in 2008. And everything else went with it. There were so many people and businesses tied to the ever increasing housing market crashed along with the market.
Overnight, once prosperous businesses were now facing bankruptcy.
This led to further problems. Alcoholism, divorces, as we said, bankruptcy. It was not a good time. For some, it was only their connect to God that allowed them to endure. For others, it was time to draw nearer to God in order to survive. For still others, it was a time to search for God because there was nowhere else to turn…
Do you remember those days? Are we about to return to those days as we face an ever mounting national debt, hyper-inflation and businesses, once again, unable to keep up?
My guest today found the answer for his trials during the last housing market crash in 2008.
Daniel Krynzel lost everything in the crash of 2008. Everything. He lost the house, the cars, the toys, the money and also, custody of his children. He lost it all… As many do, alcoholism also entered the scene… I know, I’ve been there too.
But Daniel started to take long walks just to fellowship with God. He soon found he was getting Godly inspiration on these walks that felt like direct downloads from God with instructions on what he was to do next. And he continued to be blessed and he continued to take his “walks with God.”
He now continues to wake up every morning and head out for his “God Walk.” He comes back energized, refreshed and knows exactly what he needs to do that day because of the inspiring actions he received from his “God Walk.”
Daniel is here today to share about his story about his “God Walk App” and the “Men of God Program” he has started. This is part two of an amazing two part interview!
Daniel, you asked God about three areas: Financial Purpose; Body and Health; Relationships and Family.
You share that men are to lead their families. That men are meant to lead and the women are meant to follow. I agree, because that is what the Bible says. How is your message being received in this type of societal culture today?
Share with us about the “GodWalk App” and how it came about?
How long did it take for you to realize this was something that needed to be done consistently?
How can men get the answers that they are looking for concerning their business, their own physical fitness and in their relationships? Does the GodWalk App help with that?
How long are the average walks with the GodWalk App?
There is a subscription for the app. What do they receive when they sign up for the subscription?
What types of reports have you received from men that have participated in this app?
Tell us about your coaching program? It’s called “Men of God,” correct?
Daniel, this is so interesting. I feel like I could keep asking questions for hours…
How can someone find out more information on the “GodWalk App” or your program “Men of God” or how can they get in touch with you if they have some questions?
I’ll put links to all this in the show notes below.
Folks, Daniel Krynzel has seen both ends of the spectrum. Extreme success and slide all the way down to extreme failure. From having it all – to losing it all. Including his family.
But God – I love that phrase – “BUT GOD!” Amen!
But God was not finished with him. God picked him up and turned him around as some church folk I know say… amen!
Now, Daniel is an inspiration to other men. They may or may not be going through the turmoil God brought him through, but God is using him to help men become closer to God and – achieving a level of success they never thought possible.
I urge you to drop down into the show notes and get in touch with Daniel. Get his App, “God Walk” and check out his mentoring and coaching program, “Men of God.” Amen!
What is the worst that can happen? You get closer to God. Praise God! Amen! That’s exciting just to say it! Amen! I’m on fire and I know you are, too! Just drop down into the show notes and click the links right there!

But, once he was sober, he started back into the mortgage business and had massive success. He then branched off into coaching others on how to use a lead generation system that helped to make him successful – again. But, he still felt empty and unfilled.
That is when he started to take long walks just to fellowship with God. He soon found he was getting Godly inspiration on these walks that felt like direct downloads from God with instructions on what he was to do next. And he continued to be blessed and he continued to take his “walks with God.”

First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Daniel Krynzel?”
Let’s back up to 2008. What was life like for you back in those days with the housing boom going on and you in the middle of it?
Did you see the crash coming or did you just “wake up” one day and realized it was over?
You shared you lost everything, including custody of your kids. What was life at that time like for you? What did you do to try and survive?
How long did it take for you to realize you needed help and started to give up the alcohol?
Why did you decide to get back into the mortgage and housing business after what happened to you?
Daniel shares with us a “Word from God” that changed his entire direction in life – in an unexpected way…
I urge you to drop down into the show notes and get in touch with Daniel. Get his App, “God Walk” and check out his mentoring and coaching program, “Men of God.” Amen!

Seek God Before Life Gets Difficult Cody Cargill pt 2All of us encounter difficulties in life. For some, they are minor setbacks. But for others, it’s serious and possibly even deadly. There are some people who face adversity in stride. Others, the same situation, they totally cave to the circumstances.
What makes one person give up and another persevere? Is it “grit” or “attitude?” Or their personality? Well, it could be some of that, of course.
But my guest today is going to share a remarkable story of relying on God to get him through adversity. And I know you will be inspired and will totally understand how YOU can face adversity from this day forward. Amen!
Cody Cargill is US Air Force veteran who thought life as going great. Then, no so much…
Cody was medically retired from the US Air Force but continued to have problems. Sixteen years of Nocturnal Grand Mal Seizures. But he continued to have Faith in God…
Then, about one year ago, God told him to seek Him every single day, to prepare for what he was about to face. Little did he know at the time, in 2022, he would face 5 rare brain surgeries. He almost died from one. The fact he did not die but has actually gotten better has now strengthened his Faith in God in ways he could only wish he has served God before! Amen!
When Cody reached out for an interview, I absolutely knew this was God preparing someone somewhere to follow Cody’s lead and prepare NOW for what may be coming soon… At a minimum, it will help to strengthen every listeners Faith in God as well as mine! Praise God!
This is part two of a great two part interview!
At what point did you receive the prompting for God to start seeking Him more diligently?
You said that, prior to your first surgery this year, God did something that was so astounding, it could only “be God.” Can you share what that was and how it affected you?
Let’s fast forward to the surgeries. You had a total of five surgeries in 2022. Tell us about the first three surgeries in April…
Then, in July, you had two more. Share with us about those two surgeries and what happened that almost took your life?
Now, you have an implant in your brain. What does that implant do for you?
What message do you share with others about when life seems too hard and you they start to doubt God?
Have you thought about putting this all down in a book to share with others you may never meet?
Cody, this has been a very interesting testimony. I appreciate you coming on the program and sharing with us. If someone has a question or would like to reach out, maybe to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this down in the show notes below.
Folks, as we started the program today, I shared how everyone has tests and trials in life. Life never goes the way we plan and the path is never as smooth as we like. But Cody Cargill should serve as a huge inspiration to someone out there right now, listening to this broadcast. Amen!
Cody has gone through things that most people will never experience. Some folks out there may go through things that are worse – or seem worse to those going through them at the time.
But the message Cody is sharing is a universal truth – TRUST GOD. SEEK HIM, with all your heart. On a consistent basis – not just when things get tough. You will find, more often than not, that God was right there all along! Amen! You were just so busy and so distracted, you did not realize He was “right there with you.” Amen!

Seek God Before Life Gets Difficult Cody Cargill pt 1All of us encounter difficulties in life. For some, they are minor setbacks. But for others, it’s serious and possibly even deadly. There are some people who face adversity in stride. Others, the same situation, they totally cave to the circumstances.
What makes one person give up and another persevere? Is it “grit” or “attitude?” Or their personality? Well, it could be some of that, of course.
But my guest today is going to share a remarkable story of relying on God to get him through adversity. And I know you will be inspired and will totally understand how YOU can face adversity from this day forward. Amen!

Help me welcome to the program, Cody Cargill! Cody, thank you for taking the time to come on and share with our listeners brother!
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Cody Cargill?”
Tell us about your military career. How was life going, what was your job and when did you begin to notice things were not “right?”
What did the military doctors tell you at the time?
You have been dealing with this for sixteen years. Has it always been “bad” or did it progressively get worse as time went on?
At what point did the doctors tell you they may have found a way to help you?
At what point did you receive the prompting for God to start seeking Him more diligently?
Cody has gone through things that most people will never experience. Some folks out there may go through things that are worse – or seem worse to those going through them at the time.

The Kingdom of God is at Hand Dr Richard RuhlingAs we prepare to enter 2023, this world is facing problems and circumstances we have never seen on a scale like we are now. Not just crime and despots running countries or corruption at the highest levels of governments. But spiritually speaking, especially here in the United States, we are drifting as far AWAY from God as we can get and doing so at a faster pace than ever before.
The Bible is clear in Matthew 24:37-40, “As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. And they were oblivious, until the flood came and swept them all away. So will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.… And they were oblivious, until the flood came and swept them all away. So will it be at the coming of the Son of Man…”
We are living in those days right now. Everyone is oblivious to what the Bible says, what it means and they definitely are not concerned with the soon return of Jesus!
Well, to help clarify this topic and prayerfully touch the hearts of someone somewhere today with the Truth of the Bible, our good friend, Dr. Richard Ruhling is back to discuss this scripture, as well as some others with us, about just how close we truly are to what the Bible calls, “the end time.”
Praise God, help me welcome back to the program, Dr. Richard Ruhling. Dr Ruhling, it is indeed a blessing to have you back on the program today!
You have been sharing the message of the wedding parables and other scriptures for a number of years. Have you noticed our culture – and more importantly – how many of the churches and church going members, professed “Christians,” are ignoring the warning signs? I mean, Mark 1:15 is very clear in its message, “The time is fulfilled and the Kingdom of God is at hand; REPENT and believe the Gospel.” You share that each of these phrases is applicable to us today, right?
Let’s talk for a minute about the Kingdom of God. Share with us what you have found from Paul’s letter in First Corinthians 10, verses 1-11, as Exodus being an example for us… I mean, even Jesus said He did not come to do away with the Law, but to fulfill the Law. The Old Testament is just as relevant for us today as it was back then, right?
The Bible says, “Out of the mouth of two or three witnesses, let every word be established.” Can you give us a couple of reasons why you think this will be different this time?
You know, every time I have you on, I have to go back to the Wedding Parables. You have such a key Spiritual insight into this teaching. Is what we just talked about reflected in the Wedding Parables?
Jesus gave His disciples a warning about the “leaven of the Pharisees.” Can you give us a couple of examples of unleavened or inappropriate teachings or doctrines today?
You have found a couple of examples in the Book of the Revelation that supports your ideas here, right?
One thing that I know God has promised, from Amos 3:7, He said He would not DO anything without first revealing it to his prophets – and therefor – His people. I believe he is using you, and others, to try and prepare His Bride for what is about to happen.
How can our listeners prepare now for what you see as coming soon? And where in the Bible can you point to in order to support this concept?
Dr. Ruhling, as we get ready to close, I know you released a book detailing some horrific things about to happen in 2023. I’m speaking, of course, about your book, “MegaQuake 2023.” Are there any signs you can point to that this is still building to a “MegaQuake” in the coming year?
How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “MegaQuake 2023?” Is it on Amazon?
Dr. Ruhling this has been, again, so interesting. I could talk to you for hours. If someone wanted to get in touch with you, maybe to ask a question or perhaps do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all this in the show notes below.
Folks, as always, Dr. Ruhling is leaving us with some serious things we need to think and pray about. If you or your loved ones are not right with God, there is not much time left. You need to pray and enter into that place where you are in fellowship with Him. Time is running out. We can see it happening right before our very eyes! Amen!
I also encourage you to drop down into the show notes and click the links there to get in touch with Dr. Ruhling and be sure to order your copy of “MegaQuake 2023.” Get it, read it, preach it! Praise God. And order “The Earthquake and the Seven Seals,” as well.

Our Hearts’ Desire Bob Wheatley pt 2How many times have you been, let’s say, standing around the water cooler at work (if those things even exist anymore), just chatting it up with your co-workers. And somebody will mention on word or one subject and then, on person starts sharing a story relative to the topic. It could be a story you’ve heard many times. It could be YOU telling the story, over and over again. Some people will just roll their eyes and walk away. Others, even though they have heard the story, somehow are mesmerized by it.
Why do we often tell the same stories over and over again?
Have you noticed that Jesus often used stories to convey his primary messages. They were called parables. But stories nonetheless. Why are we drawn in by stories and story tellers? More importantly, how can WE use stories to share our messages? How can we put together a story that helps our business or communicates our message to the world in which we seek to impact?
My guest today is here to share that information with us.
Bob Wheatley is a former professional baseball player, turned speaker, author and co-host of “That Singles’ Show” – a singles ministry sponsored by KCBI radio in Dallas, Texas (my old stomping grounds, I’m very familiar with KCBI).
Bob has worked with bestselling authors, keynote speakers and world class musicians, helping them to “Get the Word Out” by storytelling as well.
He is the author of an absolutely fabulous book titled, “Our Heart’s Desire: How Our Stories Reveal the Thing We Want Most.”
This is part two of an amazing two part interview!Jesus was a master storyteller, so there can be no doubt WE should become great storytellers as well. We need to share His message with others. You share that all stories have a premise. What is God’s premise to the story He is writing? What is it He is trying to get us to understand?
In your book, you break this down into, basically a three act play as well. Can you share with us the three acts of great story telling and why those are important?
In your book, “Our Hearts’ Desire,” you emphasize that the end of a love story, the hero and the love interest are usually joined together (in some stories it’s clear there is a wedding, in others it’s inferred). You call this “Her Redemption and His Reward.” What does that mean and what happens at this part of the story?
I believe most of us would like to think of ourselves as “heroes of our own story.” But, in your book, “Our Hearts’ Desire,” you actually say that’s not the way it is supposed to be. That we are actually the supporting character. What do you mean by that?
You mention something in your book, called “catharsis.” What is “catharsis” and what are the three steps we should take to achieve it?
On your website, you provide short video insights into each chapter of the book to assist in group discussions. That’s interesting. I had not heard of that before. Share with us about your thoughts on offering that to your readers?
I mentioned your radio program, “That Singles’ Show,” at the beginning of the interview. Share with some of the works you are doing to “Get the Word Out” into all the earth about Jesus…
The 5 years I lived in Fort Worth, KCBI was the ONLY station I listened to in the Dallas – Fort Worth area. They are amazing.
Bob, this has been so interesting. How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “Our Heart’s Desire: How Our Stories Reveal the Thing We Want Most?” Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question, receive more information or maybe even to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
Folks, I believe Bob Wheatley has accurately described us all as being storytellers. YOU have a story to tell. A story that will impact someone’s life somewhere. But, you need to understand how to share it in a way that will impact someone. Not have them roll their eyes and walk away. Amen!
I urge you to drop down into the show notes and order you copy of Bob Wheatley’s book, “Our Heart’s Desire: How Our Stories Reveal the Thing We Want Most.” For those of you who are speakers or business owners, this book will provide you with some very important insights into how to communicate your story effectively.
Why would you want to do things through trial and error when you can have Bob Wheatley walk you through the process and help you to achieve your goals a lot faster.
Drop down into the show notes, click the links right there to get in touch with Bob Wheatley and to order your own copy of “Our Heart’s Desire: How Our Stories Reveal the Thing We Want Most,” right now, today. Amen!
Bob Wheatley, thank you for taking the time to come on the program today. I do appreciate it, brother!
Folks, that is all the time we have for today. For Bob Wheatley and myself, this is Pastor Bob THIBODEAU, reminding you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!

Bob, thank you for taking the time to join us today! I do appreciate it!
First question I always ask is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Bob Wheatley?”
Let’s start with your baseball background. You played for the USC before moving into the minor leagues. What was that time of life like for you as you made that move to the professional ranks?
I’ve interviewed a few other professional athletes over the past couple of years. For the sake of those that may not have heard those episodes, perhaps new listeners, etc. Can you share the hard part of living life, basically “on the road” as a professional athlete?
Is there anything you wish you would’ve done differently that may have produced another outcome?
At what point did you give your life to Christ?
What did you do after leaving the professional ranks of baseball?
Folks, I believe Bob Wheatley has accurately described us all as being storytellers. YOU have a story to tell. A story that will impact someone’s life somewhere. But, you need to understand how to share it in a way that will impact someone. Not have them roll their eyes and walk away. Amen!

Where is the Light of God Tom Donnan pt 2Tom Donnan is back and we are so blessed to have him here with us. Every time Tom comes on to discuss current events in relation to Bible Prophecy of the end days, we are always amazed at how close we really are to the soon return of Jesus. Amen!
Help me welcome back to the program, our good friend, Tom Donnan! Tom, thank you for coming back on, brother! I’ve been looking forward to catching up with you. Amen!
This is part two of our great, two part interview, with Tom Donnan on this subject!Did you see the recent report of how NATO may be reorganizing into, what could be described, as the first steps to the “revived Roman Empire” as discussed in the Bible to happen at the end of days?
Is This The End Of NATO, EU and Globalization? - YouTube
This all relates to how governments are trying to control their populace. We’ve discussed how the COVID thing was, in addition to the medical concerns, a practice run for the government to train us in how to obey when commanded, basically. It all relates to control. Did you see recently the issues with Tik Tok. China is not only trying to control their own populace, but want to influence our people and spy on us through Tik Tok. I know our Governor, in Maryland, is one of many Governors that have said no state employee can have Tik Tok on their state issued phones or computers. Have you seen any of this?
Gov. Abbott: TikTok 'poses a danger' in America - YouTube
We talked about transhumanism before. We shared information that discussed by Pastor Jimmy Evans on this topic. But now, seems like it might be closer than anyone thought possible. It’s basically playing God – and I don’t think God will appreciate this – which could lead to very serious ramifications. What do you think?

I recently watched a YouTube video that discussed a minor step in that direction using a Neuro-link. Did you see information on that as well? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rlqS-kd9kmA
Did you see the YouTube video by Carol Arnott on the “banquet hall of heaven?”

You recently went on a cruise. Share with us some of the things you experienced on this cruise and how it relates to what we’ve been discussing today about the apathy of the current society?
Despite all of these things, we still are not finished with our work here on this earth. In fact, God is still preparing and raising up leaders to fight the good fight of faith. I believe one is Governor DeSantis in Florida. What do you think?
DeSantis calls for grand jury to investigate COVID-19 vaccine wrongdoing - YouTube
Tom, this has all been fascinating. If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or maybe do an interview like this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, as we wrap our discussion with Tom Donnan today, I want to emphasize, we are not doing this to instill fear, but hope. Hope in the Jesus. Hope in the Word. Hope that unbelievers do not have and are incapable of having – UNLESS they become a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ and what He has accomplished for us.
If that’s you today… if you have a desire to have that type of HOPE, Tom can you lead that person in a prayer that will help them to receive this HOPE through Christ?
If you prayed that prayer, get in touch with Tom. Email me, too. I would love to hear your testimony. Amen!
Tom, I do appreciate you taking the time to come back on and join us today. I look forward to our next interview as well. Amen!
Folks, that is all the time we have for today. For Tom Donnan and myself, this is Pastor Bob reminding you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!

We have a lot to talk about today, so I just want to dive right in to it. You had a dream that you shared with us before. In this dream, the ground is breaking up, houses are sinking and things like that. Recently, you were shown something by God that said, we are now entering the “next phase.” Can you share with us more on this dream and the new phase?
Could this be a dry run to allow our enemy to see what would happen?

I’ve been preaching for a few years now on why the United States is not a major player in the end times. The scenario I have been sharing is now being set up to come to pass. Which is why Russia would invade Israel, with the help of Iran and supported by China – and the USA does not respond. Here is my thinking on this: Israel has discovered oil and has entered into an agreement that in the year or so, they will be sending oil to Europe so they don’t have to buy oil from Russia anymore. This will hurt Russia even more than they are impacted by sanctions. Which results in the Ezekiel 38 war and invasion of Israel. But, to stop America from rushing to aid Israel, I believe an EMP nuclear device will be exploded over America. Experts say that, if that happens, the entire electric grid will disabled for between 2-3 years. That means EVERYTHING is gone. We are living in the 1800’s immediately. No food, no cars, no water through the pipes. Nothing. No ATM’s. No banks. No money. What do you see happening along this line?

DC Smith pt 2We see the collapse of society every single night on the evening news. Wars. Rumors of wars. Volcanic eruptions around the world. Devasting earthquakes. Riots, protests, murder, mayhem in the streets. Does that sound familiar? We blame the politicians, the economy, the virus, whatever. But yet, we continue to elect the same politicians. We continue to run up debt just like the government. We put our masks and stand in line and do everything commanded of us.
I don’t know about you, but it seems like I’ve heard this story before – in the Bible. Amen! Don’t shout me down when I’m preaching good! These events we see unfolding before us today were forewarned to us over two thousand years ago! Praise God!
Should you be afraid? Well, my guest today says, “YES, you should be afraid! Because it is going to get much worse before it gets better.” Praise God!
Douglas Smith, known as DC Smith…is the author of an intriguing series of books titled, “The Apocalypse Game.” He wrote these books because he felt world events would soon create a demand for his story. And he was right. Amen.
The “Apocalypse Game” reveals that, what we witnessing right now, is just first manifestations of what’s to come. We are seeing the ancient battle between light and darkness manifesting before us. But it will soon come to a climatic end. Amen!
This is part two of an amazing two part interview!
Who is this book and book series written for? Who is your ideal reader?
Let’s talk about current events we see happening and relate them back to your book.
Natural disasters happening all over the world. And increasing in intensity. Share some parts of your book that hit on this subject…
Crime. That is a growing problem we see every single night on the news. How about your book?
I have coined the term “convergence” of all these things. They have always been with us, but they have been happening all at the same time but at an ever increasing intensity.
Based upon your beliefs, how close do you believe we are to winding this entire, let’s just say, “Life as we know it” up and moving on to face some of what you depict in the “Apocalypse Game” as you outline in your book?
Can you share a little bit about book two in the series, just to tease us a little bit?
How many books do you anticipate will be in this series?
DC, this is so interesting. How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “Apocalypse Game?” Is it on Amazon?
When do you think book two will be available?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or maybe even to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes down below.
Folks, there is no doubt we are living in the last of the last days, as depicted in the Bible. Since many people just do not attend church anymore, many are unaware of just how accurate the last days as depicted in the Bible is being played out right before our very eyes.
This is one of the reasons God inspires authors like DC Smith to write these kinds of books. They are more easily accepted by those who may not be believers. Which allows the accuracy of the story to capture their attention and possibly let the Holy Spirit do a work in their lives. Amen!
I urge you to drop down into the show notes and obtain your copy of “Apocalypse Game.” In fact, at the time of this recording, it’s Christmas season and I know this book would make a great gift for someone that you know. And you do, too. Amen! Drop down into the show notes and order two, three or more copies and pass them out to those you care about. You never know what work God will do simply because you obeyed. Amen!

Help me welcome to the program, Douglas, DC, Smith! DC, thank you for taking the time to join us today! I appreciate you taking the time while traveling to come on the program and discuss what’s happening in the world right now.
Book one of the series introduces Jonas. Tell us about Jonas and how you developed his character?
According to what I’ve read, he is going to try to heal himself using the AI assistant he has, named Hela. Can you tell us about Hela?
Is this sort of based on Google’s recent admission that AI may be “sentient” in nature?
This is book one of the series. Is book two ready to be published yet?
How would you classify your book series, “Apocalypse Game?” Is it science fiction? Fantasy? Christian Fiction? How would you describe it?
Who is this book and book series written for? Who is your ideal reader?

Speak with Confidence Mike Acker pt 2One of the best ways of helping other people is to share your wisdom, your knowledge and your experiences with them. That allows them, to basically, learn from your experiences and mistakes and move closer to reaching their goals faster, than trial and error and learning on their own.
Podcasts is one way of doing that. Which is why I love interviewing Christian influencers and allowing them to share with you.
Other than podcasting, public speaking - at events, meetings, conferences, etc., is truly beneficial. Usually, you will have a chance to meet the speaker and, well, overall – it is just a great way to learn and to network. Amen!
But, for some people, the idea of standing up in front of a group of strangers and sharing details from your life is, well, let’s just say “nerve wracking!” Some people would rather jump off a bridge than stand up in front of people and start talking, let alone teaching…
If that sounds like you, I’ve got some good news for you today!
Our guest today is Mike Acker. He is the son of drug dealers, turned NGO leaders (NGO means “Non-Governmental Organizations” that fight against the drug pandemic). Today, Mike is a keynote and TEDx speaker, executive coach and the author of nine books, (that’s right – NINE BOOKS)! including the best-selling “Speak with No Fear,” which spent three years as Amazon’s top book on overcoming fear of speaking and was also listed in Forbes “7 Books That Will Help You Conquer the Fear Of Public Speaking.” Known for his authenticity, humor, and engaging presence, Mike has over twenty years of experience as a speaking coach, leadership coach, and public speaker. He is also a former pastor and has worked with and supported several non-profits and relief organizations.
His most recent book is “Speak with Confidence: Overcome Self-Doubt, Communicate Clearly and Inspire Your Audience.” Praise God!Today is part TWO of an amazing two part interview!At what point did you decide to get into public speaking?
Let’s talk about your recent book, “Speaking with Confidence.” Why did you write and publish book now, at this point in your career?
Over the course of time, you developed a framework for Executive Presence and Speaking with Confidence. Can you share about this framework with our audience?
How is it different from your other books and, for that matter, other books on this topic from other authors?
I noticed in your book that you share with your readers how to “make a personal investment” in their topic they will be discussing to ensure success. Can you share a little bit about that?
How do you get someone from, let’s say, “suffering from stage fright” to delivering a successful presentation?
Who should be purchasing this book and what will it do for them?
Mike, this has been so interesting. I love how you were able to put, what can be a complicated subject, and just simplified it for your clients and your readers to help achieve success a lot faster than just “trial by fire,” that many do.
How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “Speak with Confidence: Overcome Self-Doubt, Communicate Clearly and Inspire Your Audience?” Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, perhaps to ask a question or look into your coaching programs or maybe to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
Folks, Mike Acker has put together, for lack of a better word, I’ll say the “perfect program” to help you become the speaker, the coach, the executive or business owner that you were destined to be. He has used his years of experience and his background to hone the specific skills of success in these areas. He has provided all of this information into his book, “Speak with Confidence: Overcome Self-Doubt, Communicate Clearly and Inspire Your Audience.”
You need to drop down into the show notes and order your copy, right now, while you are thinking about it. This book will be a blessing to you or to someone you know. Amen! Maybe order two or three copies, one for yourself and pass the others out. Amen!

Speak with Confidence Mike Acker pt 1One of the best ways of helping other people is to share your wisdom, your knowledge and your experiences with them. That allows them, to basically, learn from your experiences and mistakes and move closer to reaching their goals faster, than trial and error and learning on their own.
Podcasts is one way of doing that. Which is why I love interviewing Christian influencers and allowing them to share with you.

You have to explain this part about, “son of drug dealers – turned into NGO leaders.” I just want to start right there because that is not something you hear very often!
I know Mazatlan is a tourist area now. Was it like that when you were growing up? What was life like for you when you lived in Mexico? Were your bullied while growing up there?
Your bio says that this gave you insight into what it was like to be an outsider and survived.
I also read that you were lost – in the desert?
We hear all of these State Department warnings and things like about tourists being kidnapped, murdered, robbed, etc. today. Was it that way when you were living down there?
Let’s shift gears a bit. You were a pastor for a time, correct? Tell us a bit about yourself and your ministry in those days…
How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “Speak with Confidence: Overcome Self-Doubt, Communicate Clearly and Inspire Your Audience?” Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, perhaps to ask a question or look into your coaching programs or maybe to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this down in the show notes below.

Serenity and Health Dr. Donna Chacko pt 2Many people find themselves consumed with success. How we define that success is what determines the difference between happiness and sorrow. A life of fulfillment or a life of sadness. For one person, they may have it all, career, success, family… and feel alone and unfulfilled. For another, they go through life without all the fabulous amenities, but feel like they are making a difference.
The question is: “What makes the difference?”
Our guest today is Dr. Donna Chacko. She lived this type of turmoil. On the outside, it looked like she had it all—lucrative and rewarding career, beautiful family, comfortable home. But inside, not so much. Her marriage was on the brink, crises were brewing, and her home felt like her heart— about to break.
Donna Chacko is a medical doctor who loves to share what she learned about healing, during her decades practicing medicine, and during her long difficult marriage. Donna practiced radiation oncology, and then later, family medicine. She and her first husband raised three daughters in Florida. After his death, she moved to Washington, DC, where she cared for the poor until 2013. Now retired, Donna lives in Maryland with her second husband and works in the ministry she founded, “Serenity and Health.” In September 2021 she was designated a Changemaker by the Institute for Lifestyle Medicine.
She published an award winning book in 2021 titled, “Pilgrimage: A Doctor’s Healing Journey.” In this book, Donna lays her life bare as she digs into her upbringing, relationships, life choices - and fears, in a deeply personal journey toward healing and wholeness.
“Pilgrimage” has won several awards. It is an Amazon Best Seller; it has won first place in the 2022 Catholic MediaAssociation categories of “Marriage and Family” and “Self-Published Books” and an honorable mention in “Self Help and Healing.” “Pilgrimage” has also been a Gold Medal Winner in the “Illumination Book Awards” and in the “Reader Views Literary Awards” she was both a “Gold Medal Winner and a Favorite 5-Star Winner.” Praise God!
Today is the conclusion of a great two part interview with Dr. Donna Chacko!
In all that you were going through; in all that you were experiencing; how did your Faith in God enter into this equation?
You learned two prayer practices that, you said, “Transformed your life.” Can you share these two practices with us?
With “Serenity and Health,” share with us the purpose of your ministry and how you are able to help others through this outreach?
Let me ask you this, your book, “Pilgrimage: A Doctor’s Healing Journey.” Why did you write this book and why now?
So, “Pilgrimage: A Doctor’s Healing Journey,” is a memoir. Why a memoir?
Was it hard to put your life down on paper?
How long have you been working with “Serenity and Health?”
What kind of outreaches do you provide?
You frequently talk about the links between “faith and health.” Can you share some of these links with our listeners and why it’s important to link them together?
Donna, this has been so interesting. I could talk to you for hours… How can our listeners obtain a copy of your book, “Pilgrimage: A Doctor’s Healing Journey,” ? Is it on Amazon?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, Dr. Donna Chacko has lived a full life, for sure. She has lived through the ups and the downs; the good times and the bad. But through it all, she knows God has been with her. She shares her journey and all the details, not just for her, but to show YOU, that YOU matter to God.
I urge you to drop down into the show notes and get in touch with Dr. Donna. Click the link and order her book, “Pilgrimage: A Doctor’s Healing Journey.” This book will transform how you are looking at your life. Donna lays her life bare as she digs into her upbringing, relationships, life choices, and fears in a deeply personal journey toward healing and wholeness. Join her as she surrenders her control and discovers that serenity and health, are most easily grasped, when our hands and our hearts are open to what God longs to give us.
This book is packed with hard-won insights and practical advice for beginning your own pilgrimage, toward health in mind, body, and spirit. Amen!

Help me welcome to the program, Dr. Donna Chocko! Donna, it is such a blessing to have you on the program today! I do appreciate it!
The first question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Donna Chocko?”
Let’s start by backing up the clock a little bit and get some background on your story.
Why did you decide to study medicine as a career choice?
How did you end up in radiation oncology, of all fields?
Is that when you met your first husband?
In your book, you state the marriage had its ups and downs. Were there warning signs before you actually got married that you could look back on and identify?
What was your career and life like for you in Florida?
From the outside, while living and practicing medicine in Florida, it must have been the picture of success, right?
Was it emotional abuse or both emotional and physical abuse?
Did you ever consider divorce?
At what point - and why - did you make the decision to enter Family Medicine rather than continue with Radiation Oncology?
What was that like, retraining and going through that transition?

Dr. Strange and Marvel Comics Joe Schimmel pt 3Have you noticed how popular the Marvel Comic series of movies have been recently? For a lot of people, it may seem like a great break from reality and allow our minds to just ride along with the characters as the battle between “good and evil” are depicted before us.
But, who is really the villain? Who is really the hero? Can you tell the difference? Would it shock you to know that these, entertainment comics and movies are not innocent as we are led to believe?
For example, almost nobody is aware of the true history of one of today’s most popular Marvel characters, Doctor Strange. What is the connection to Satanist Alister Crowley, Satanism, the ancient heresy of Gnosticism and Doctor Strange? To truly understand the spiritual foundation of Marvel comics, we must first understand the influence behind many of the comic book writers.
I have the absolute privilege today of welcoming back to our program, Pastor Joe Schimmel, senior pastor of Blessed Hope Chapel in Simi Valley, California. His background is one that many teenagers in the 1970’s followed, myself included, as we seemed to fall into the “sex, drugs and rock and roll” mentality. It was about as far as we could get from serving the Lord at that time, my life included.
In our last interview, we focused on his exposé of the demonic influence in the entertainment industry. This film was titled, “They Sold Their Souls for Rock and Roll” and it created quite the buzz in the industry at that time. I urge you to look that video up and review it. It will open your eyes to things you never realized concerning the music industry, for sure.
Today, we will be focusing on the latest exposé release, titled, “Dr. Strange, Aleister Crowley and the Multiverse of Satanism.”
Today is the conclusion of an amazing THREE PART INTERVIEW with Pastor Joe and I know it is opening the eyes of people all over the world!A lot of the rock and heavy metal bands were also followers of Crowley, correct?
Is it true that Marvel created a Lego toy of Dr. Strange’s “Sanctum Santorum” based up Crowley’s real life room?
What about the Church of Scientology? In your video, you state that L. Ron Hubbard claimed that Jesus is an angry pedophile and that Hubbard claimed the biblical anti-Christ is true, but it’s not like the Bible claims… can you explain their view on this?
Tell us about Dennis and Terrance McKenna…
Marvel & DC’s War on God is perpetuating Satanic lies to hundreds of millions of young people, who is their unsuspecting audience. What can parents do counter the underlying messages in many popular comic books and movies that affect millions of professing Christian families.
Pastor, what is the next movie you are working on – what’s next up in the series?
As we get ready to close, share with our listeners about the work your ministry, “Good Fight Ministries” is all about.
And share with us about your podcast, the “Good Fight Radio Show…”
Pastor Joe, this is all so fascinating. I’ve learned a lot from your videos and I know you’ve opened the eyes and minds of our listeners today as well.
If someone wanted to get more information on what we’ve talked about today, to watch either of your videos, “They Sold Their Soul for Rock and Roll” or your recent release, “Dr. Strange, Aleister Crowley and the Multiverse of Satanism,” how can they do that? How can they get more information?
How can we get more information on your ministry, “Fight Good Fight Ministries” ?
Folks, as I stated in the beginning, this is not new. It’s been going on since the Garden of Eden if you want to get technical about it. The devil does not have anything new up his sleeve. He’s the same yesterday, today and forever. His tactics are as well. But our God is also the same yesterday, today and forevermore. And Jesus has defeated the devil and all that are with him.
Pastor Joe Schimmel has been shining the True Light into the darkness of the entertainment industry for decades. I encourage you to go down into the show notes and click the links there. I especially encourage you to watch the video, “Dr. Strange, Aleister Crowley and the Multiverse of Satanism,” and the video, “The Sold Their Souls for Rock and Roll.”
These videos will just bring the Truth to Light like you never knew was possible. And it has been happening for decades, right under our noses. It’s time to shine the light into the darkness and drive the darkness out. Amen!

But he was not always known as Dr. Strange. Can you share a little bit about what he actually started as in this so called “comic series?”
And Dr. Droom actually was a depiction of a real life person. Who was that and what was his influence in the Marvel comics?
How did Gnosticism, basically flip the script so God is really Satan and Satan is really God?
Who and what is Sesineg?
How did Hollywood get involved with Alister Crowley and promote his beliefs through Marvel?
There is a reference to the “God of Genesis” in this Dr. Strange series as well, correct?
Steve Englehart was a writer for DC Comics in the 70’s and he is the one that revamped the comic book characters into evil being good. But Stan Lee try to stop the publication of this blasphemy? What were the results?
A lot of the rock and heavy metal bands were also followers of Crowley, correct?

I alluded to your background story a little bit in the opening, but for the sake of those that may have missed our prior interview, could you share with us, in your own words, “Who is Joe Shimmel?”
And, as I shared, we discussed the 70’s culture and music pretty in depth in episode number 1067 and 1068 in our prior interview. And I know your video of “They Sold Their Soul for Rock and Roll” opened a lot of eyes to the demonic influence of the entertainment industry.
But what led you to take on Marvel and DC Comics in video number two of your series?
You focus on Dr. Strange in this video. But he was not always known as Dr. Strange. Can you share a little bit about what he actually started as in this so called “comic series?”

Under the Orange Blossoms Cindy Benezra pt 2Child abuse is one of the worst forms of trauma a human being endures. Unable to comprehend what is happening, but knowing it’s wrong. Unable to protect themselves. Unable to fight back. And when the violator is someone who is supposed to be protecting you, it is unimaginable.
But yet, in our society today, it is happening all around us. In 2020 alone, more than 7 million child abuse reports were filed. That’s the number that was reported. And more than 90% of those abused, were abused by one or both parents. This is tragic.
Cindy Benezra was one such child. She has authored a memoir titled, “Under the Orange Blossoms,” where she shares her tough childhood of abuse. It’s an inspirational story. A story of hope…a story where she shares her courage and willingness to heal.
In her book, she offers tools to heal and, through the telling of her heartfelt story, shows how anyone who has faced forms of trauma can be inspired by her story and wise words.
This is part two of our amazing two part interview!It took your entire life to experience the context and contents of this book. How long did it take you to actually write the book?
A lot of people say that writing about these issues is a form of therapy. Is that what you discovered? Or something different?
How did you arrive at the name, “Under the Orange Blossoms?”
On your website, you have a series of short videos. A few of them are you having a conversation with your father. Why did you decide to record an interview of him discussing this abuse with you?
Was he, how can I say this, willingly providing information during your interviews with him?
You went your entire life waiting for him to admit what he did, his acts of abuse to you, and to others. Do you think he finally apologized, in his own way, in the video on your website when he was in his 80’s?
Cindy, this has been so interesting. I know your book is going to be a blessing to many people. Many who have gone through, or are going through, something similar right now. What is your message to them? What would you say to that person, right now?
How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “Under the Orange Blossoms?” Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, maybe to ask a question or perhaps to do an interview like this. How can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below…
Folks, you need to order your copy of “Under the Orange Blossoms” right now. I know that you know someone who has gone through this sort of trauma. This book will be a blessing to them. Consider ordering a copy for your pastor as well. This would be a great resource for the churches and ministries out there. I’d even go as far as to recommend you get in touch with Cindy to have her come out to your church or event and discuss this very important topic with your members. Amen! Just drop down into the show notes and click the links right there…
Cindy, thank you for coming on the program to share about your life and your book, “Under the Orange Blossoms.” I do appreciate it.
Folks, that is all the time we have for today. For Cindy Benezra and myself, this is Pastor Bob reminding you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!

First question I always ask, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Cindy Benezra?”
As I was preparing for this interview, I seen on your website the you were originally starting to write a cookbook. But this book is what emerged? How did that happen?
I think I read where your abuse started about the age of five. At what point did this abuse end?
In your book, you discuss the physical, emotional and the sexual abuse you experienced by your father. Can you share just a bit of your story with us and, share with us how this changed your childhood?
Did your mother know this was going on? Or any other person?
As you were going this trauma as a child, how did you get through it. What was the strength you used to survive?
In your childhood, you traveled the world to many different countries. What was your up brining like? What was the purpose in all the travel?
Did you continue to have a father-daughter relationship with your dad once you grew up and you were able to leave home?
At what point in your life did you arrive at a place where, basically, you realized you had to forgive him in order for you to have some peace?
Folks, you need to order your copy of “Under the Orange Blossoms” right now. I know that you know someone who has gone through this sort of trauma. This book will be a blessing to them. Consider ordering a copy for your pastor as well. This would be a great resource for the churches and ministries out there. I’d even go as far as to recommend you get in touch with Cindy to have her come out to your church or event and discuss this very important topic with your members. Amen!

Daughters of Tamnarae Marie Elrich pt 2With all of the negative news with what is going on the world, sometimes we just need to take a break. Get away with our thoughts. Get away and let our imagination soar, if you will.
We see things on television that just seem to promote evil all day (and night). Anything and anyone who holds to Biblical values is either cast as the clown or as a far-right lunatic.
As Christians, sometimes we find it difficult to watch programs like this or read books that depict the same thing. We need to support artists, authors and movie producers that depict Christians in a positive light.
Yes, we can still have fictional stories and yes we can still allow our imaginations to take us away to distant places… but wouldn’t it be nice to have a story line that provides some perils, provides some troubles and obstacles – things that we can relate to in our everyday lives – but yet the “good guy” wins in the end?
Those are the types of stories that allow us to take the mental break, allow our minds to relax and just flow with the story and not have to worry about subtle evil thoughts entering our minds, hearts and souls.
These are the types of things we need or children, teens and young adults to read as well. Allowing the Christian message to be the subtle, underlying seeds being planted. Amen!
Well, our guest today is doing just that! Amen!
Marie Erlich is the author of a book series I just have introduce you to. Especially at this time of year. Amen!
Her book series, “Daughters of Tamnarae” consists of two books at the moment. The first is “Etania’s Worth” and the second is “Etania’s Calling.” Both of these books were written for young women to let them know that they are loved and called by Christ for a specific purpose.
Maria’s books, although fictional, show that life can, at times, be difficult. But by maintaining our Faith in God, you are able to overcome everything and win in the end.
Although these stories are fictional and are fantasy books, you don’t overplay the “magic” portion of the books like some of the other things out there, right?
Obviously, there must be some “evil villain” that needs to be defeated. Tell us about this character…
Then, we have the second book, “Etania’s Calling.” I take it this is a continuation of the first book? What is this story about?
Do the characters age in your books or will they all be about the same age in the storylines?
What other examples from your personal life are depicted in this book, or the first one as well?
What is the basic age of the audience you writing for?
This is a book series, called “Daughters of Tamnarae.” When will the next book be published?
Do you have a title for that one yet? (Etania’s Destiney)
You also wrote a short novel, or “novella” as they are called, titled, “Toothbreaker.” Can you give us the background for this book?
What led you to write a novella at this point in your career?
Marie, this has been so interesting. How can someone order your books? Are they on Amazon?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or maybe do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below…
Folks, as I said in the beginning, as Christians and as believers, we have to be careful of what we allow into our hearts and minds. The enemy is smart. He will use the subtle things to try and plant a seed. We don’t need that.
Instead, we should take a break from reality by allowing those who are of like-minded faith and called by God to create these fictional stories to minister to us through great books, like Marie Erlich is doing.
I urge you to drop down into the show notes and click the links right there to get in touch with Marie. Check out her website. Ask questions. But, more importantly, order a few of her books! Praise God. Order one set for you and two or three other sets to pass out as gifts. Amen!
Somebody you know could use these books and enjoy them. You may consider purchasing a set for your children’s ministry at church. The ideas are endless.
Just drop down into the shown notes and click the links right there. Amen!

The first question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Marie Erlich?”
When did you first realize you had a special calling to write fantasy books?
But you also want to emphasize Faith in God in the telling of the stories in your books. Right?
Your first book was, “Etania’s Worth.” What is this story about?
Is this, somehow, a reflection of your life being told in the story?
Although these stories are fictional and are fantasy books, you don’t overplay the “magic” portion of the books like some of the other things out there, right?

The Tower of the Flock Dr. Christine Van Horn pt 2As we are preparing for the Christmas season, the celebration of the Lord’s birth (at least that is what it was meant to be, not the commercialized things we see today – but that’s a story for a different day)…
Now, as I was saying, as we are preparing to celebrate the birth of our Lord into this earth, many, many churches will have their little children’s plays about “no room in the inn” and born in barn” and “laid in a manager,” etc. And that’s OK… at least it’s something…
But, I am almost 100% certain, that most of you have not really studied this out for yourself. But our guest today has. And what she is going to share with us today will give you a more complete understanding of every single aspect of the “Christmas Story.”
I know it will, because I was moved by the Lord about two years ago to start looking at this myself. I’ve shared this story the past couple of years on our radio program, “Freedom Through Faith” that airs on Evangelism Radio. I would run this particular teaching just before Christmas the last two years – AND I’m planning on doing it again this year. Praise God!
I said all of that, because Dr. Christian Van Horn has written an absolutely fabulous book that details every facet of this story and will just blow your mind on the misinformation you’ve been fed over the years. Her book, “The Tower of the Flock” will expound upon things you’ve always know, but then open your eyes to the “story behind the story.” And then shares with you the importance of that back story to the fulfillment of scripture – especially when it comes to the Birth of Jesus.
Dr. Christine Van Horn is an author, teacher and speaker. She is the author of 6 books, with three of them focusing on teaching character and foundational values. Her most recent book is “Teach Your Children Timeless Truths in Uncertain Times.” We did an interview on that book about a month ago. So I would direct you to go to our archives and look up episode number 1173 and 1174.
Christine has been the team leader for a children’s program called “Character Club.” She has a Doctorate Degree in Theology and serves in the Children’s Ministry at Insight Church in Tinley Park, IL. She was also on the faculty of the International College of Excellence Bible College.
She also has coaching program that brings all of these concepts together called, “Wisdom Decisions – Foundational Values.”
And, as I said, today, we will be discussing one of her books titled, “The Tower of the Flock.”
Today is part two, and the conclusion, of a GREAT two part interview!
The field that David was tending the sheep in was the exact same field that shepherds would be tending to their flocks when Jesus was born. Is that correct?
All of this explained why the Jews knew the Messiah was supposed to come from the line of David and be born in Bethlehem. But yet, they did not put two and two together concerning the birth of Jesus. So, let’s dive now into the importance of the “Tower of the Flock.”
In the traditional birth of Jesus nativity scene, Bible stories and all that goes with that… I first want to debunk every single one of those narratives. So, let’s start by stepping all over the Spiritual toes out there…
What kind of husband would make his wife take that kind of journey when she was 9 months pregnant? That’s what we are led to believe…but that is not what really happened, right?
What about the “no room for them at the Holiday Inn” so they had to go out to the barn out back to give birth to the baby?
WHY was the “Tower of the Flock” the perfect place for a pregnant woman to give birth when she could not be cared for in the home of a loved one?
I can hear someone now saying, “But what about the Bible saying she laid the baby Jesus in the manger. That’s a feeding trough in the barn!” Explain for us what the “manger” really is…
Can you share with us about the shepherd’s? Those lonely shepherds, guarding their flocks by night in the middle of December… I know I set you up to answer two questions with my one question… but go ahead!
As we are getting ready to wrap this up… I want to debunk one more myth. Can you share with us, if Jesus wasn’t born in the barn like we’ve been told, why do the nativity scenes show the three kings brining gifts to the barn where Jesus is laid in the feeding trough and the song “Little Drummer Boy” says the “ox and lamb kept time?”
So who were the Magi?
Christine, this has been absolutely interesting. Like I said in the beginning, when I found out you had written a book about “The Tower of the Flock,” I just had to get you back on for an interview.
The revelation the Lord gave me about this a few years back just transformed by idea of the “Christmas Story” and I’ve been sharing it ever since. I do appreciate you writing this book to make the story known far and wide and correct the misconceptions and false teachings that have been propagated on us all.
How can someone order a copy of your book, “The Tower of the Flock?” Is it on Amazon?
And if someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or possibly do an interview like this, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
Folks, this book, “Tower of the Flock,” is a must have for your reading list. It answers so many nagging questions that most people have about the birth of Jesus. I urge you to drop down into the show notes and order you copy today.
In fact, do your pastor a favor and order him or her a copy as well. They will appreciate it. Don’t make the mistake of thinking “They already know this.” I’ve been in the ministry for close to 28 years and did not find out the truth about this until about 2 or 3 years ago. But I’ve been sharing it since. Amen!
Be sure to order your copies today.

And, as I said, today, we will be discussing one of her books titled, “The Tower of the Flock.”
When we were discussing your other books, “The Tower of the Flock” was one that immediately caught my attention.
But, before we get into the book and what “The Tower of the Flock” is all about, for the sake of new listeners that may not have heard your prior interview, tell us in your own words, “Who is Christine Van Horn?”
Christine, what led you to studying the biblical references that led you to “The Tower of the Flock?”
You start your book by taking us all the way back to the days of Jacob and Rachel. How do they lay the groundwork for the Birth of Jesus in Bethlehem?
In your book, I love how you laid this out, you walk the reader through several Old Testament characters and how they all were involved in stitching together or to “weave” together all of these events they were involved in, to ultimately having Jesus being born right exactly where scriptures said He would be.
We don’t have time to go into a lot of the detail for these individuals, so here is what I would like to do. I’m going to give you a name, and I’d like you to just give us a two or three sentence summary of how they contributed to “Tower of the Flock” story for Jesus.
We already discussed Jacob and Rachel. Let’s talk about RUTH…
She ended up being married to Boaz, who was the great-grandfather of King David. So, let’s talk about how the land in Israel was divided as an inheritance and how this played into Boaz owning the fields that Ruth was gleaning grain from…
That takes us to Jesse, father of David. When Samuel was instructed to go to the family of Jesse to anoint the next king, I always wondered WHY Jesse? Why not some other family? But now, you have cleared this up completely. Explain “Why Jesse?”
So now, we have David, tending sheep in the field. The exact same field that shepherds would be tending to their flocks when Jesus was born. Is that correct?
All of this explained why the Jews knew the Messiah was supposed to come from the line of David and be born in Bethlehem. But yet, they did not put two and two together concerning the birth of Jesus. So, let’s dive now into the importance of the “Tower of the Flock.”
In the traditional birth of Jesus nativity scene, what kind of husband would make his wife take that kind of journey when she was 9 months pregnant?
What about the “no room for them at the Holiday Inn” so they had to go out to the barn out back to give birth to the baby?
WHY was the “Tower of the Flock” the perfect place for a pregnant woman to give birth when she could not be cared for in the home of a loved one?

The Wedding Parables Are For Today Dr. Richard Ruhling pt 2In an effort to always keep things current on the Revelation Warning Podcast, I want to emphasize, again, that based upon the Bible, we are entering the last seconds of the last minute of the last hour of the last days… The soon return of Christ is very close. Along with that, the opportunity to receive Christ as your Lord and Savior is even closer. Amen!
One person who always keeps his stethoscope on the end times is our good friend, Dr. Richard Ruhling. He is a frequent guest on our program because his scriptural and spiritual insight are opening the eyes of people all around the world, to the special day in which we live. Amen.
From the COVID virus to eating healthy instead of taking toxic medications; from signs of the times to warnings from the Bible, Dr. Ruhling has proven himself to be an expert that we can turn to for a wealth of information. I always look forward to Dr. Richard Ruhling’s appearances as his knowledge on a variety of topics always speaks directly to things we see happening all around us.
In Matthew 22, we see the story of the king setting up the wedding for his son. But none of those who received invitations wanted to come and just made excuses. You relate this to, what you call, the Exodus Model. Can you explain this for us and how it relates to what we are talking about today, the end days?
I always ask you about the wedding parables every time we get together. I find your interpretation of these things so interesting and relevant. Let’s move over a couple of chapters to Chapter 25. This is about the parable of the ten virgins. Five took oil and five did not. How does this fit into what we were just talking about with the Exodus Model and what does this parable contribute to the overall discussion of what could happen in 2023?
Dr. Ruhling, this is all so interesting. What about the wedding parable reference in Luke 12, where in verse 36, Jesus tells us to be like the wise servants who are waiting for their lord to return from a wedding? Can you explain that for us in light of what we’ve already discussed?
You also have shared before about the letter to the Laodicean Church that John was commanded to write in Revelation Chapter Three. You said this letter is also a wedding message. Can you explain how this should be interpreted that way?
Dr. Ruhling, we’ve talked about this before, but I would like you go over again for our listeners…At the end of the Book of the Revelation, chapter 22 verse 17 actually closes the Bible discussing the wedding…share that with us one more time, wrapping up all that we discussed today…
Dr. Ruhling, this has been so great. I want to make sure we let everyone know about your great book, “MegaQuake 2023” and also the book you are currently preparing to release, “The Greatest Story Never Told – Bad Translation and Papal Teaching.”
Dr. Ruhling, as always, you have given us a lot to think about – and study about – Praise God!
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or possibly to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, there is no doubt about the day and time in which we live. The only question is “WHEN?”
And, although we may not be able to give a definitive answer – we definitely know it is CLOSE. Amen!
I urge you to get in touch with Dr. Ruhling. He is releasing a great book (as well as his previous books on this topic) and I urge you to get in touch with him right now, today. Drop down into the show notes and click the links right there. Order his books. Praise God.
Begin to educate yourself and your loved ones about what is going on in the world right now – and how it ALL relates to the Bible and prophetic times.

I always look forward to Dr. Richard Ruhling’s appearances as his knowledge on a variety of topics always speaks directly to things we see happening all around us.
Now, before we get into a today’s topic, I was wondering if you could give us a quick synopsis of, basically, how we have arrived at a point of judgement for the United States of America?
Ok. And you believe this is going to happen in 2023. The Bible says in Matthew 18:16, “out of the mouth of two or three witnesses, let every word be established.” Can you give us two or three reasons why you believe this will happen very soon?
It’s been said that “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Since this is an audio format, can you create for us a “word picture” as we go into the topic for today, which is the wedding parables?
In Matthew 22, we see the story of the king setting up the wedding for his son. But none of those who received invitations wanted to come and just made excuses.

Bible News Radio Stacy Lynn Harp pt 3As Christians, we’ve all cringed as we see blasphemous things taking place in society today. We may even pray about what we see and hear the political leaders advocate as “normal” when we know what the Bible has to say about these things.
We may even have discussions from time to time with other believers wondering what we can do to effect change…
Well, if that sounds like you, I have a super-rich blessing for you today! Praise God!

This Part Three of a fabulous three part interview!
Let me ask you this… You’ve talked with a lot of Christian influencers over the years. What do they have to say about the “state of the church” right now in America?
You also have a “Bible Reading Accountability Group!” I love that! Share with us how someone can become a part of that group and what happens when they do…
Where do you see us on the prophetic timeline right now?
Why do you think the United States is not listed as an influential nation when Israel is surrounded and attacked towards the end of the Book of Revelation? Or do you have any thoughts on this from those you interviewed over the years?
Tell us about your radio program a little more, “Bible News Radio.”
You also have Bible Study programs people can join and you do Biblical Counseling Services. Can you share a bit about those programs as we get ready to close?
Stacy, this has been so interesting. I am truly blessed by hearing about all you have going on for the Lord. This is awesome. You and your husband, Randall are to be commended. I still am in awe at 1500 interviews! Praise God! Keep it up! Amen!

This is part two of what turned out to be a GREAT three part interview! Through your background, in counseling and therapy, you have become an expert on the LGBQT deceptions that seem to be prevalent in society today. How did you become an expert on this area of study and how did you perceive yourself when you compare where you started to where you are at now?
You’ve interviewed other experts on this specific topic. What do they believe should be done to reverse this demonic trend we see happening right now?
You were recently banned by YouTube because of some the content on your program, correct?
I know there are a lot of Christians who worry about that sort of thing. Can you tell us about that experience?
Just for full transparency, I was also was put on “probation” for some of my content condemning the things we have been talking about. It was about a month ago as well. I wonder if they went “searching” for this topic or not? They removed my content from YouTube and after a few days, restored my account as well. All I have to say is, “Thank You Jesus” because I know the Word is getting out…

Bible News Radio Stacy Lynn Harp pt 1 As Christians, we’ve all cringed as we see blasphemous things taking place in society today. We may even pray about what we see and hear the political leaders advocate as “normal” when we know what the Bible has to say about these things.
We may even have discussions from time to time with other believers wondering what we can do to effect change…
Well, if that sounds like you, I have a super-rich blessing for you today! Praise God!
Stacy Lynn Harp is the host of “Bible News Radio” and has been interviewing Christian influencers since 2005. She has interviewed more than 1500 different Christian leaders – Praise God! Amen!

Help me welcome to this program, Stacy Lynn Harp! Praise God! Stacy, thank you for joining us today, I’ve been looking forward to our discussion, Amen!
First question I always ask is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Stacy Lynn Harp?”
I have to say, I’m impressed with you interviewing 1500 influencers. Praise God! That’s an accomplishment all in itself. Amen!
Through your background, in counseling and therapy, you have become an expert on the LGBQT deceptions that seem to be prevalent in society today. How did you become an expert on this area of study and how did you perceive yourself when you compare where you started to where you are at now?

Devotional Christian Poetry Lloyd Portman pt 2 Poetry has been referred to as “the love language.” You know, “Roses are red, violets are blue, you’re so sweet that I love you.” Yup – that’s about the extent of Brother Bob’s poetry creativity.
Thank God we have the Bible, where the Psalms are just FILLED with poetry. Think about it, David just sat there, under the tree, watching the sheep. He spent his days contemplating God. He spent time worshipping God. He spent time writing poetic songs to HIS GOD! And what did God have to say about all this? “David is a man after my own heart!” AMEN!
Today’s guest is a man of God that I’ve known for a few years now. In fact, we have the same birthday, just half a world apart! Amen! We call each other our “twin.” Amen!
But he has been anointed with a special gift to use poetry to show people the Light of the Gospel! Praise God!
Lloyd Portman is from “down under” in New Zealand! It is early morning there so I would not be surprised to hear a cup of coffee every now and then – Praise God! I’ve got mine here too! Amen. And it is mid-afternoon here!
Like I said, I’ve known Lloyd for a few years and we always have a great conversation every time we manage to get together for a few minutes… and today, we are recording it for YOUR benefit. Glory to God!
Lloyd is semi-retired now, but he had his own farm, he has worked construction and, adding to the list – he was a pastor for 12 years of a Pentecostal Church in his town. Lloyd has helped so many people over the years because of his ability to LISTEN. He hears what they are saying and he has the God given ability to see through the clutter and bring them a Word for God in due season and to give them the guidance of the steps they need to move forward.
And, as I have referenced, he has a God given gift for poetry. Not just fanciful lines on random subjects, but on sharing the Gospel message inside the poems.
This is part two of a great two part interview!
Before we get into some of the details of how your new website and program work, do you have an example poem you can share with us?
Come Now . . .
Come to the table of My Heart, the table of reasoning. We can discuss issues tripping you up and work together on them. I am the one who washes your scarlet transforming it to pure snow. Please don't resist or hide. The door to My Heart is always open. You can't do this alone! The table of reasoning becomes the table of Friendship and Exchange. Rags for riches, Righteousness for unrighteousness! It's free to exchange As you trade the rights to your life, losing your life . . . To Gain It. Can you explain this poem, its meaning, its intent, etc.?
Explain to us how your website and your membership will work…
Lloyd, this is so interesting. You know I’m a big fan of your work and I know our listeners would really, truly get a lot out of this program you have started.
Share with us again, how can someone obtain more information, get in touch with to ask a question, etc?
Folks, Lloyd is as...

The first question I always ask is, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Lloyd Portman?”
I remember having to write poems in school and I hated it. I could never get my rhymes to rhyme right or the prose to end right. It was always out of synch in some form or fashion. Does this come naturally for you?
When did you realize that poetry was “your calling?”
How did it evolve to where you are at today with your poetry?
What is your new website for called? Devotional Christian Poetry.
You’ve used your poetry to minister to people in a variety of circumstances and callings and to help them with encouragement and direction in their life when they needed it. You also give all the credit to the Holy Spirit in guiding you in writing these individualized poems, correct?
What are the goals of your new website? What are you hoping to accomplish?
Devotional - For your personal devotions. Revelational - Receiving revelation about a subject or an issue Group Study - Content for a study group.
Before we get into some of the details of how your new website and program work, do you have an example poem you can share with us?

This is part two of a great two part interview!
Did you keep the characters from book one? Are we like, following them, on their quest?
How far along are you with book two?
You and your husband, Rick, are trying to make people aware of the complacency that has been adopted these past few years in the American Church. How does this book help you to do that?
You are not only a fiction writer, but a non-fiction writer as well. Your book, “When the Light Grows Dim” is in reference to the modern American church. Can you share a little about that?
You are also a writer of devotionals, correct? Can you tell us about bit about that? How did you get into that aspect of writing?
You also recently came back from a trip to Mexico where you were at a conference. Share with us about your work and travels…

How long did it take you to write this book?

Sell Like Jesus Deb Brown Maher pt 2 You’ve heard me share my story several times on this podcast. How, after I left the military, I had my own business doing insurance sales and did quite well for several years. I had my own agency with agents and staff and we had become the second highest producing agency nationwide for the company I was with. But, eventually, I got bored with it and entered law enforcement.
The reason I bring that up is simple. Our guest today has written an absolutely fabulous book titled, “Sell Like Jesus.” Praise the Lord!
Most people recognize Jesus as the master in servant leadership. But did you know He was a master salesman?
Deb Brown Maher says, “When done right, sales is a form of servant leadership.” In her book, “Sell Like Jesus: 7 Characteristics of Christ for Ethical Sales,” she unpacks what Jesus did; how He did it and how YOU can apply it to your sales conversations, too! Amen!
Deb Brown Maher is an accomplished business owner who has been helping salespeople connect with their ideal customers for over 30 years. Her professional background included expertise in all levels of sales execution, training and coaching that spans multiple industries as well businesses of every size: from start-ups to mid-range and global organizations.
Her passion is helping her clients overcome obstacles to achieve sales success so they are better able to serve their clients while fulfilling their own goals and dreams. She is committed to teaching people to sell from a position of authority.
This is part two of a great two part interview! In your book, “Sell Like Jesus: 7 Characteristics of Christ for Ethical Sales,” you list seven different characteristics. Can you briefly go over them for us and give us an idea of what you cover in your book? Because this sounds fascinating… (we pick up our conversation with Characteristic #4)...
4 – Comprehension
5 – Certainty
6 – Choice
7 – Commitment
Out of those sevens characteristics, which do you believe is the most important?
You state, in your book, “Sell Like Jesus: 7 Characteristics of Christ for Ethical Sales,” that Jesus is the ultimate model in how to “establish, build and maintain meaningful relationships.” Is that the key to a successful sales career? Relationship?
Deb, this has been so interesting… How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “Sell Like Jesus: 7 Characteristics of Christ for Ethical Sales,”? Is it available on Amazon?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question, check out your coaching program or possibly to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get I touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this down in the show notes below…
Folks, Jesus had to, not only recruit His disciples and “sell them” on the new plan of salvation, He had to do so in a way that they would be able to carry on the “sales system” after He was gone. He was – and is – the ultimate salesman. Amen!

First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Deb Brown Maher?”
Your first venture into sales was fairly successful. Can you explain the success you had selling pot holders?
What made you decide to pursue sales as a career goal?
But your first venture in sales did not work out the way you thought it would. You felt like you were being lumped into the same category as the “used car salesman” category. I must admit, I’ve felt like that before as well. What did you do to overcome that perception?
You have a saying, “People get into business because they love what they do – not because they love selling.” But isn’t sales a part of every business?
You state, “Sales and evangelism, when done well, is a unique form of servant leadership.” Can you explain that for us?
In your book, “Sell Like Jesus: 7 Characteristics of Christ for Ethical Sales,” you list seven different characteristics. Can you briefly go over them for us and give us an idea of what you cover in your book? Because this sounds fascinating…
1 – Character
2 – Connection
3 – Clarity
4 – Comprehension
Folks, Jesus had to, not only recruit His disciples and “sell them” on the new plan of salvation, He had to do so in a way that they would be able to carry on the “sales system” after He was gone. He was – and is – the ultimate salesman. Amen!

Christ in Prophecy for the Last Days Nathan Jones We are blessed today to have a very special guest and friend of the ministry come back on the program today.
Nathan Jones, who serves as the Internet Evangelist at Lamb & Lion Ministries, in Texas, reaching out to the over 4.5 billion people accessible over the Internet with the Good News of Jesus Christ. He has served at the ministry since August 2007. He has blessed us on several occasions by coming on the program and discussing end time prophecy.
Nathan co-hosts the ministry’s weekly television program “Christ in Prophecy.” He also co-hosts the weekly podcast “The Truth Will Set You Free” along with his co-host, Vic Batista.
Nathan can usually be found growing and developing Lamb & Lion Ministries’ Web Ministry at christinprophecy.org and evangelizing over the ministry’s various social media platforms, including The Christ in Prophecy Facebook Group. He answers all the Bible-related questions sent to the ministry from all over the world
He is the author of “The Mighty Angels of Revelation” and co-authored the book, “12 Faith Journey’s of the Minor Prophets.” I have the blessing of interviewing him about both of those books and you can go back to the archives and listen in as these are GREAT BOOKS! Amen!
Convergence of multiple signs that we are told to look for…
We see Russia getting hurt by economic sanctions. We see Russia currently losing their war in Ukraine. We see internal turmoil in Russia, tens of thousands fleeing Russia to avoid the draft. There are protests in the streets (almost unheard of in a Communist regime, let alone Russia).
Now, Vladimir Putin is threatening the use of tactical nuclear weapons to protect Russia territories. They’ve already claimed those areas of Ukraine to be Russian territory.
We have Iran siding with Russia. We have China siding with Russia.
The United States has influenced many other nations to impose sanctions on Iran and Russian oil. And Israel is an oil producing nation that is in place to fill the gap with Europe.
Could this be a reason why the Bible has Russian invading from the North and Persia joining them along with a 200 million man army coming from the east?
We know the Bible says “God sets up kings and takes down kings and the heart of the king is in the Lord’s hand and He turns it whichsoever way He wills.”
Do you think the last election ended up the way it did in order for the United States to come to the point where we would be weakened to the point where, as a nation, we will not step in and protect Israel in event of an attack? Thus fulfilling scripture that NOBODY helps Israel?
What do you think of President Biden’s slip of the tongue talking about “Armageddon?”
We also have the rise in popularity of crypto currency. That, in and of itself, I do not think is bad. But now, the nations of the world are deciding to implement their own crypto currency in an effort to control their own national currencies.
Naturally, each nation still needs to deal with each other – which would open the way for a worldwide crypto currency – much as the dollar was the acceptable international currency for decades.
Do you think this could be the fulfillment of “nobody could buy or sell without the “mark” (the mark of the beast).

Heart Value Mary Tess Rooney pt 2 Do every wish we could go back in time and live in “the old days?” When life seemed a lot simpler? When we worked hard but still found time to spend with the family and doing things that were important?
Well, they told us, that’s what technology will do for us! Allow to work faster so we can have more time for those things that are important!
How is that working for you? It seems that technology just enabled us to get more work squeezed into the day! And then, when we fall behind – we have to spend even more time with technology than our family!
There was a time when going out to dinner with friends was enjoyable. The next time you do go out to dinner, just look around and see how many people are STILL on their cell phones! It’s amazing – SAD – but amazing!
Our guest today is here to help you take back that time. To focus on things that truly matter. To get your heart right, with God and with yourself and with others. Amen!
Mary Tess Rooney founded True Stride and wrote “Heart Value: Feel Appreciated in Ways That Matter and Discover Your True Stride” to empower individuals to drop into their heart to share value that energetically and emotionally lights them up. As a Heart Value expert, author, podcast host and speaker, Mary Tess creates strategies and tools to help people, like you, voice your value, activate appreciation and prioritize fun. In “Heart Value,” Mary Tess guides readers to recognize that every experience is an accrual of value, and it’s important to honor your feelings, choices and actions to increase fulfillment and joy.
She is not only an author – but a podcaster as well! Praise God! Her podcast is called, “True Stride” and offers thoughtful conversations and self-reflection prompts to help YOU realize your TRUE STRIDE at work, home and play and within your community. Amen!
This is part two of a great two part interview with Mary Tess Rooney!
We are talking with Mary Tess Rooney about her book, “Heart Value: Feel Appreciated in Ways That Matter and Discover Your True Stride,”
Most of our schedules are set on a daily basis. Get up at this time. Leave for work at this time. Hold our meetings, etc. at a specific time. Get off work, go home, prepare dinner, etc. It’s all on a schedule. Even our interview today is on a schedule, for both of us.
You share in your book that we need to be intentional with our schedules to keep our vibration and energy high. How do we do that?
You also share we are to “prioritize fun to elevate our joy.” But if someone is working for a company and is not able to “set their work schedule” – they are required to show up at a specific time and leave no earlier than a specific time and achieve the required results in a specific time frame. How can they use the information you just provided with being intentional with our schedules, prioritizing fun and not work?
Mary, this has been so interesting. Before we close, tell us about your podcast, “True Stride.”
You have over 100 episodes – congratulations! I know that is a huge milestone! What have you learned, in relation to what we’ve been talking about...

First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Mary Tess Rooney?”
Let me ask you about your book, “My Book: Heart Value: Feel Appreciated in Ways That Matter and Discover Your True Stride.” Why this book and why publish it at this time?
Your book helps someone to identify something they are lacking, but then discover what that thing is and embrace the adventure of finding it. Can you explain what that means?
You were a strategy and communications executive. How did your experience help in creating this book?
You share with the readers they are accruing value in every experience. Can you share with us how to identify those values we should hold onto and those we should cast away?
What is the “Feel, Choose, and Act” Amplifier?
You also discuss finding our “Frequency Grid.” Can you share with us what that is and how it is used?
Folks, as we stated at the start of the program, we are “crunched for time” nowadays. And the technology has just made it worse, not better. You need to get a copy of Mary Tess Rooney’s book, “Heart Value: Feel Appreciated in Ways That Matter and Discover Your True Stride,” right now and begin to take control BACK for your life....
Everyday Wisdom for Families Kellie Ann Peterson pt 2 There is no doubt that evil exists in this world. We are made aware of it almost every single night on the evening news. But the fact remains, the news headlines do not tell all of the story. There are people, individuals, that are behind every story.
Often, these people, these individuals, face these demons alone for a very long time. When deliverance finally comes, they are often scarred and broken, spirit, soul AND body. They may go YEARS without counseling, figuring “nobody understands them or what they have been through.”
Our guest today is Pastor Kellie Ann Peterson. Kellie is a pastoral counselor who trains other church leaders to bring emotional healing to their congregations. She also does one on one counseling for those in need. She is the author of a book titled, “Wounded Heart, Graceful Warrior: A Journey from Abuse to Victory.”
She is the founder of “Everyday Wisdom For Families” and you can obtain information on these services at www.everydaywisdom4families.com using the number “4” in place of “for.” Amen.
Today is part two and the conclusion of our interview with Kellie Ann Peterson... Something else happened as well – or I should say, “almost happened.” Can you share with us how the Lord used you to protect your husband from certain death?
I know this is a process, but how has things been going since you became a Christian?
So, you really had your start, sort of in the “divine intervention” aspect of prayer and ministry?
When did the Lord transition you from Divine Intervention towards Divine Healing type of ministry?
Tell us about your book, “Wounded Heart, Graceful Warrior: A Journey from Abuse to Victory” all about?
Tell us about your website, Everyday Wisdom for Families…
Kellie Ann, this has been so interesting and the work you are doing is so needful in this day and time. If someone wanted more information, to ask a question or possibly, they may want to do an interview with you such as this. How can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?

Everyday Wisdom for Families Kellie Ann Peterson pt 1 https://www.everydaywisdom4families.com/ ()There is no doubt that evil exists in this world. We are made aware of it almost every single night on the evening news. But the fact remains, the news headlines do not tell all of the story. There are people, individuals, that are behind every story.
Often, these people, these individuals, face these demons alone for a very long time. When deliverance finally comes, they are often scarred and broken, spirit, soul AND body. They may go YEARS without counseling, figuring “nobody understands them or what they have been through.”
Our guest today is Pastor Kellie Ann Peterson. Kellie is a pastoral counselor who trains other church leaders to bring emotional healing to their congregations. She also does one on one counseling for those in need. She is the author of a book titled, “Wounded Heart, Graceful Warrior: A Journey from Abuse to Victory.”
She is the founder of “Everyday Wisdom For Families” and you can obtain information on these services at http://www.everydaywisdom4families.com/ (www.everydaywisdom4families.com) using the number “4” in place of “for.” Amen.
Kelly Anne, thank you for taking the time to join us today! I do appreciate it.
Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Kellie Ann Peterson?”
Your story includes the Lord’s intervention to prevent demonic possession. Can you explain about this and the Lord did that for you?
One theme I noticed as I was preparing for our interview today, is how you are very involved in helping people to escape from and overcome the emotional and spiritual scars of abuse. Is this because of something that you went through?
How did you stop this abuse, for yourself and others?
Folks, emotional, verbal and physical abuse is real. It impacts every person differently, but affects every victim totally. Many do not know where to turn or who to trust. If you or someone you care about is experiencing this type of abuse, I urge you to get help – immediately – before it gets worse.
And reach out to someone who can give you guidance, Godly guidance, such as Kellie Ann Peterson. Reach out to her by clicking the links down below. Sign up for her services.
Pastors and ministry leaders, click the links and reach out to her and see how she can come in and help you to minister to those in your church that are hurting right now. Do this RIGHT NOW. Amen!
Kellie Ann, I do appreciate you coming on the program today and sharing all of this information with us. Thank for taking time out of your schedule to do so. I do appreciate it.

Timeless Truths In Uncertain Times Christine Van Horn pt 2 https://www.drchris.co/ ()There is no doubt that our children today are facing things on a daily basis that we, their parents and grandparents, could not even fathom a few years ago, let alone when we were growing up.
Family time is almost non-existent. The days of playing in the yard or playing board games at home are not even remotely like they were when we were growing up. Today, kids have their own smart phones when in elementary school. They spend their days, nights and weekends in the “online world.” They receive news, commentary and their values from “social media influencers.” Most of the time, the values being taught are not the values you would like instilled in your children or grandchildren.
Our guest today is an expert in helping you to develop character traits, Godly, moral character traits, in your children and grandchildren and the life skills that go with them.
Dr. Christine Van Horn is an author, teacher and speaker. She is the author of 6 books, with three of them focusing on teaching character and foundational values. Her most recent book is https://amzn.to/3T8geq2 (“Teach Your Children Timeless Truths in Uncertain Times.”)
She has been the team leader for a children’s program called “Character Club.” She has a Doctorate Degree in Theology and serves in the Children’s Ministry at Insight Church in Tinley Park, IL. She was also on the faculty of the International College of Excellence Bible College.
She also has coaching program that brings all of these concepts together called, “Wisdom Decisions – Foundational Values.”
Her book and program are for all families, but her emphasis and foundation is Biblical. She says her mission is to address the character problem issues facing families today.
This is part two of a fabulous two part interview!
I like one of the sections where you discussed, “Make Decisions.” As an officer in the US Army Cavalry, I was taught and trained how to gather as much information as possible in the time allotted and to “make a decision” and go with it. General George Patton, Jr. had a quote that I still use to this day, “A good plan, implemented now, is better than a perfect plan tried later.” I lived according to that premise then and still do today.
But our children are not being taught how to make decisions. They are being taught by influences in social media, public perception, etc. How can we change that mindset?
You share that adults need to become life coaches or mentors to children. How do we instill a desire for the adults to change if they have been instilled with the modern psychology of what we have been discussing?
Is this possible even if our children are grown and have children of their own?
Would it be considered “meddling” if grandparents tried to instill these values into their grandchildren? Especially if these values were not being mirrored by the parents, teachers, etc.?
As I said before, we are now into about the fourth generation of these declining value systems and lack of education. What steps can Christian parents or grandparents take to try and change the direction of our youth today?
Is any of this able to be instilled in the church? I know that church attendances are down (especially since COVID) and, add to that, the tendency of many churches to skirt the issues when comes to preaching Biblical values, etc. in today’s culture.
Tell us a little bit about your coaching program, “Wisdom Decisions – Foundational Values.”
You use Biblical scriptures to help emphasize the foundation of the things you share, in your book and in your coaching program, correct?

First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Christine Van Horn?”
In this “information age” we live in today, where everything is literally at our fingertips, how challenging is it for us to teach our children how to filter out what is true and what is not true?
In your book, you discuss the “fog of war,” but for children in today’s society. Can you explain that for us?
You also share that, when we were growing up, our school days started with a specific order to begin each and every day. I remember a prayer and then the Pledge of Allegiance. I also remember when prayer was declared “unconstitutional” and stopped. To me, that was the beginning of the end of school and society as we knew it back then. What are your thoughts on this?
When I was growing up, I had some Sunday School teachers who were also teachers in our school system. So the values passed along in Sunday school were being mirrored in the classroom.
We are now in, at least, the fourth generation of the reshaping of our educational system. Instead of teachers imparting wisdom and discipline and “training up a child in the way they should go,” we are teaching them today there are no such things as “good or bad; right or wrong or even girl and boy.”
So, to quote a chapter from your book, “Where do we go from here?”
Why did you write this book at this time?
I like one of the sections where you discussed, “Make Decisions.” As an officer in the US Army Cavalry, I was taught and trained how to gather as much information as possible in the time allotted and to “make a decision” and go with it. General George Patton, Jr. had a quote that I still use to this day, “A good plan, implemented now, is better than a perfect plan tried later.” I lived according to that premise then and still do today.
But our children are not being taught how to make decisions. They are being taught be influences in social media, public perception, etc. How can we change that mindset?

Septemics – Jim Marshall pt 2 http://septemics.com/ ()Everyone wants to “get better” at something. For some it marriage. Other is business. Still others it could – well, “anything.” Amen!
We know that, in order to improve in any one area, we have to study. We have to apply what we have learned through study and turn into practical practice, usually on a daily basis. By applying what we learn consistently, we do better ourselves.
Many people today will run and purchase “self-help books” of various sorts. Some for dieting and other for business. Some for eating healthier and others for “positive thinking.”
But what our guest today is going to share with us, is something all of these things have in common – and a whole lot that is missing.
Wouldn’t it be great to be able to pick up a book that could guide you to particular area and, basically, say, “do this and this is what will happen” more often than not. Then, you “do this” and – if applied correctly – you obtain the desired result.
Now, that was a very simplified example of what Jim Marshall will be sharing with us today from his book, https://amzn.to/3rgl08X (“SEPTEMICS: Hierarchies of Human Phenomena: Analysis, Prediction and Management of Human Affairs.” )
Jim Marshall is a self-taught polymathic scholar who excels in many diverse fields such as science, psychology, philosophy, literature, theology, parapsychology, engineering, political science, mathematics, music, law, history, military science, physical culture and metaphysics!
He is the author of this very unique book, https://amzn.to/3rgl08X (“SEPTEMICS: Hierarchies of Human Phenomena: Analysis, Prediction and Management of Human Affairs.” )He has put more than 50,000 hours of study and work has been put into this book. If I try to explain more at this point, I’m going to mess it up entirely!
This is part two of a fascinating two part interview! The first scale you describe in your book is the “Scale of Basic Purposes.” Can you briefly go over that for us to give some insight to what you are talking about?
So if someone identifies with a certain pattern or sequence, they can move “up the scale” to improve… is this right?
Do the scales intertwine and rely on where you are at on other scales?
Could a business person use this book to help increase business relationships or increase sales by identifying where others are on their levels?
You wrote the book on https://amzn.to/3rgl08X (“Septemics.”) Is this the only book that discusses this topic?
Jim, this is has just been fascinating. I can see how important this is to us today. I’ve never heard of this before so it is something that I will be studying. Amen.
If someone wanted to get a copy of your book, https://amzn.to/3rgl08X (“Septemics,”) who can they do that? Is it on Amazon?
And if someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or maybe do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this down in the show notes…
Folks, as I stated in the beginning, self-improvement is all about making small, positive changes on a daily basis. If you do this, you will begin to see favorable results. By making positive progress on your short-term goals, you long-term goals start to come to fruition as well.
I urge you get your own copy of Jim Marshall’s book, https://amzn.to/3rgl08X (“SEPTEMICS: Hierarchies of Human Phenomena: Analysis, Prediction and Management of Human Affairs.” ) If you obtain your copy now and start to study it between now and the end of the year – I believe your “New Year Resolutions” will take on a whole new level of vision and success. Amen!
I’m going to get my copy because I have some great plans for 2023 in the growth of what we are doing here in this ministry, as well as personal growth. Amen! If I’m getting a copy – YOU need to get a copy. Amen!
Just drop down into the show notes and click the link right there....

So help me welcome to the program, Jim Marshall!
Jim, thank you for taking the time to come on the program today!
First question, other than that brief information I just provided, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Jim Marshall?”
What exactly is https://amzn.to/3rgl08X (“Septemics?”)
How is this different from the “self-help books” I described in the opening? What makes it different?
This system revolves around the number “7.” Why is that important?
How did you discover https://amzn.to/3rgl08X (Septemics?)
Why did you devote 50,000 hours to this topic? That is a long time!
You state that https://amzn.to/3rgl08X (“Septemics”) can be used as a “predictive tool to anticipate outcome and make informed decisions about situations involving other people.” Does this apply to business decisions as well as individual things?
Can everyone benefit from studying https://amzn.to/3rgl08X (“Septemics?”)
Let’s talk a minute about the scale you have listed as “The Scale of Government.”
When you look at things our government has been doing, can you see the predictive pattern through the scale you have in your book on this topic?
Folks, as I stated in the beginning, self-improvement is all about making small, positive changes on a daily basis. If you do this, you will begin to see favorable results. By making positive progress on your short-term goals, you long-term goals start to come to fruition as well.

Catholic Life Coach for Men Michael Jaquith pt 2 https://catholiclifecoachformen.com/ ()In this day and time, many men, more than are willing to admit, struggle or are frustrated with their lives and their relationships – including their relationship with God. Many are addicted to various things, sports, alcohol, pornography – gaming is a big one today…
What are they doing? They are trying to find peace in things that just distract them from their life – even if it is just for a few minutes.
Many of these men have no idea how to process their emotions and, need I say, the emotions of their wives? You know, the old saying if you “ask your wife what is wrong and she says, “nothing.” That is not the time to say, “OK, I’m going to play golf, see you later.””
Well, our guest today has made it his life mission to help Christian men cope and thrive in this modern life and process their emotions and fit everything together in their proper, Godly perspective, of living in this world we call home.
Dr. Michael Jaquith calls himself, a “modern Catholic guy” that prioritizes his faith and is also a Life Coach as he helps Christian men who really want to become the man God wants them to be. Amen! He is also a podcaster and host of the “Catholic Life Coach for Men Podcast.”
This is part two and the conclusion of a great two part interview! How are you able to help someone who seems to “have it all” on the outside, but yet, they are coming to you for help because they feel like they don’t have it “all together” on the inside?
You also share that, for many men today, the only role models society lifts up are the bad ones. Those that promote and point people towards evil and hatred rather than towards God. How can we combat the societal trends and lead others, as well as ourselves, to success in this life without the approval of those influences in our life?
I know you teach on the use and power of our words. The power of words, especially our own, hold tremendous power. Can you share with us a little on the proper use of words?
We have God’s DNA inside of us. We are “created in the image and likeness of God!”
Can you tell us a little bit about your podcast, the https://catholiclifecoachformen.com/podcast/ (“Catholic Life Coach for Men Podcast?”)
You offer Christian Life Coaching for men that professes Faith in Christ, not just Catholics, correct?
Dr. Mike, this has been so interesting. If someone listening to us right now wants more information or would like to ask a question, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, if you are a man who has or is struggling with some of the things Dr. Michael Jaquith and I have discussed today, I urge you to drop down into the show notes and reach out to him. Ask your questions. Listen to the podcast. You are listening to this episode today for a reason! God has pre-ordained that YOU would be listening to us right now – for a reason! Do not ignore it. Amen! He knew before the world was formed that you would be listening to us right now.
Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Dr. Michael Jaquith and ASK your questions. Seek the answers to problems you may be having with handling the stress and problems of life, and learn how live the life God has planned for you to live and prosper with. Amen!
Dr. Mike, I want to thank you for taking the time to come on the program and share all of this great information with us today. I do appreciate it.
Folks, that is all the time we have for today, for Dr. Michael Jacquith and myself, this is Pastor Bob reminding you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!

Help me welcome to the program, Dr. Michael Jaquith.
Michael, thank you for taking the time out of your schedule to join us today!
First question that I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Michael Jacquith?”
I alluded to the problem a lot of men have on processing emotions. Women seem to be more in tune with that aspect than men. How difficult is it for men to process emotions correctly? And why is that so important in a relationship?
I’ve seen one of your most recent podcast episodes was discussing something about “Marital ADHD.” Can you share a bit about that topic here for our listeners?
Most men are like, let’s say, “Tim the Tool Man Taylor,” on the old TV show “Home Improvement.” The willingness is there but the execution – not so much! For some, they just drive on and problems don’t seem to faze them. For others, the smallest problem seems like a huge roadblock. How do you help men in both spectrums become more focused on their God given talents and callings in our “quest for success?”
It seems no matter how much a man tries to “be successful,” in the world’s eye… he loses the perspective of how he looks in God’s eyes. Pride is a big factor. A HUGE factor. How does our “worldly success” compare to whether or not we achieve success according to God’s plan for our lives?
Folks, if you are a man who has or is struggling with some of the things Dr. Michael Jaquith and I have discussed today, I urge you to drop down into the show notes and reach out to him. Ask your questions. Listen to the podcast. You are listening to this episode today for a reason! God has pre-ordained that YOU would be listening to us right now – for a reason! Do not ignore it. Amen! He knew before the world was formed that you would be listening to us right now.
Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Dr. Michael Jaquith and ASK your questions. Seek the answers to problems you may be having with handling the stress and problems of life, and learn how live the life God has planned for you to live and prosper with. Amen!

Making Money God’s Way Winston Grier pt 2 https://wealthandkingdom.com/ ()Believers everywhere are concerned about the economic times in which we find ourselves today. Inflation is up. Crime is up. Housing costs are up. Interest rates are up. And money that last year met our needs and possibly having some left over, today does not stretch as far and, in some cases, is coming up short.
You want to have prosperity. You want to be able to give more to God’s work. You want to be able to live comfortably and provide for your family. But you don’t want to compromise your Christian values to do it.
Pastor Winston Grier’s calling is to help YOU, to increase your Faith, increase your inheritance from God and to help you unlock the Kingdom blessings for your personal life and business. He does this by helping you to keep a healthy “work-life” balance in accordance with scripture. He is also the author of a great book titled, https://amzn.to/3DVA8jz (“Making Money God’s Way.”) Praise God! He is also a Christian motivational speaker and business coach who loves to help young men grow up to become good men, loving husbands and fathers. Amen!
This is part two of a great, two part interview! Let’s talk a bit about your book, https://amzn.to/3DVA8jz (“Making Money God’s Way.”)
Why did you write this book and why publish now?
You share scriptures in your book to help guide business owners. How do you use these scriptures and what is one of your favorite scriptures that you share with business leaders?
In your book, you emphasize that we need to “count the true cost.” This is more than just seeking a profitable return on their investment. Can you share more about this with our listeners?
We all make mistakes. I know I’ve made many mistakes over the years, especially when I was in business about 30 years ago. Can you share with us one of the biggest mistakes you’ve made in business as a business owner and as a Christian?
You have a chapter titled, “Be Indebted to No One Except to One Another in Love.” I know that sounds good – but many business owners are not operating that way. The mindset has been one of “business loans,” etc. Share some information about this chapter with us and how it can be applied to those just starting out?
Tell us about your chapter on Jira and “you are enough” and how that can apply to businesses today?
Pastor Winston, this has been so interesting. How can someone obtain a copy of your book, https://amzn.to/3DVA8jz (“Making Money God’s Way?”) Is it on Amazon?
Pastor, you also help Christian to plan and start their businesses, according to God’s methods of operating a business scripturally. How can someone reach out to you if they are interested in this type of training and service? How can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, Pastor Winston Grier has, but God’s guidance, created this book for “such a time as this.” Who knew, other than God, that when he published this book, our economic climate would nose diving into the chaos that we are witnessing today? But, it did not take God by surprise!
That is why He led Pastor Grier to write this book and why he is helping people, men and women just like you, to overcome the lack and learn how to https://amzn.to/3DVA8jz (“Make Money God’s Way.”) Amen!
I want to encourage you to reach out to Pastor Winston Grier by using the links down below. And be sure to order his great book, https://amzn.to/3DVA8jz (“Making Money God’s Way”) right now.

First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Winston Grier?”
You’ve been in the ministry awhile now. How did you come to your calling of helping God’s people to prosper financially?
You also believe that someone who runs a business should do so in accordance with Biblical principles and be intentional about doing business according to God’s plan. Explain how you teach folks, especially if it’s not a “Christian themed” type of business, it could be a shoe store or hair salon or car dealership… but how do you teach them to accomplish that standard?
Your mother owned her own business where she applied these principles. Tell us about that time growing up and how it influenced you?
You as you started to serve God in your own business where you applied these concepts, how did God begin to prosper you?
I read where you father gave you some Godly advice about “not needing money in Heaven.” Care to share that and how it influenced what you are doing today?
What was one of your biggest lessons you learned in business from a Kingdom perspective?

God Came To My Garage Sale Marnie Hill Foderaro pt 2 https://godcametomygaragesale.com/ ()Many of us are familiar with garage sales. We have visited them, some of us visit them more frequently than others…I’ll just leave it at that…
Some of us have held or organized garage sales, yard sales, etc. It is a great way to make a little cash (or, in the case of my wife, spend a bit of cash)… but it is also a place to meet people from all walks of life.
Every person has a story. Every person is someone new. Every person can impart to you some spiritual wisdom or you can impart to them some spiritual wisdom.
Basically, garage sales are win-win situations all the way around!
But, what if you discover GOD came to YOUR garage sale?
That’s not saying He is there to see what you are selling, but perhaps to help initiate a conversation with someone else. Someone who imparts a bit of spiritual wisdom into your life. One comment, one encounter at a time, over and over again, all day long, during your garage sale?
Each person, chips away at your long held belief system that never included God. Until, finally, you come face to face with your old beliefs cast aside and you stand face-to-face with the reality that “God IS real?” Wouldn’t that be exciting?
Well, that is the premise of what we will be discussing today.
Well, my guest today is Marnie Hill Foderaro, author of a highly acclaimed, award winning book titled, https://amzn.to/3ByRhfU (“God Came to My Garage Sale.”)
This is part two and the conclusion of what turned out to be a very inspiring two part interview!
You were raised in an atheist home. What caused you to go on a search for God?
And then you held a garage sale… tell us about the events that occurred and when you finally realized that God had orchestrated these things during the garage sale?
So this book is, although it is fiction, is basically, your testimony of how you “found God” by Him using other people to peel back layer after layer of your hardened heart?
Can you tell us about the main character of your book and how she came to the point of holding this garage sale?
Can you share with us some of the events that transpired during this garage sale?
What made you decide to write this book, https://amzn.to/3ByRhfU (“God Came to My Garage Sale?”)
You spent many years in education. When did you decide you wanted to be a writer and author?
You also have your five book series on domestic violence and things of that nature. Can you tell us a little about those books in the “True Deceit False Love” series?
There is no doubt this information is, unfortunately, truly needed in today’s society. I pray these books find their way into the hands of someone who needs this information. With your permission, I’ll put links to these books in the show notes as well. Is that OK?
Marnie, this is so interesting. We serve an awesome God that can use something so simple as a “garage sale” to impart Spiritual wisdom and answer lingering questions for someone. How great is that?
How can someone order a copy of your book, https://amzn.to/3ByRhfU (“God Came to My Garage Sale?” ) Is it on Amazon?
And your five book series, “True Deceit False Love,” is that on Amazon as well?
If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or maybe to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in contact with you?
I’ll put links to all of this down in the show notes below.
Folks, this book by Marnie Hill Foderaro is a great read and so inspiring, I know you will enjoy it. In fact, not only should you order your own copy of Marnie’s book, you should get two or three and pass them out as Christmas presents, too! At the time of this recording, Christmas is just around the corner! Get your shopping done early and bless someone who needs to hear an inspiring story like Marnie is sharing in her great book, https://amzn.to/3ByRhfU (“God Came to My Garage Sale.”

End Time Deception Tom Donnan pt 2 There is no doubt that the evening news is designed to give you anxiety and declare the works of the devil to keep you discouraged, worried and filled with fear. Just look at all of the headlines that lead the news, of various resources, each and every day! Do you ever see encouraging headlines? No.
They are always, murder, financial problems, disasters, riots, etc. There are NO encouraging words at all… Oh, maybe every now and then they will put in a “humanitarian” story just to fill out the time slot. Usually it is at the very end of the program – never at the beginning.
Well, our good friend Tom Donnan is back today. He has heard some things from the Lord that is leading to warning after warning after warning for us, for your family, for America and for the world right now! Taken individually, you would not think much of what he is about to share. But, taken together and in light of God’s Word – you would be ignorant in more ways than one if you ignored what Tom will be discussing today.
Today is part two and the conclusion of this interview with Tom Donnan. We have heard Congress for years saying they were going to go after the “rich” to make them pay their fair share of taxes. But, they have just authorized additional funding for 87,000 new IRS agents, and given them power to use “lethal force” in the enforcement of their duties. How can 87,000 agents be needed for going after the 1% the liberals continually talked about?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xecHedKtAyE (CLASS WARS? IRS Adds 87,000 NEW Agents, $80B To Enforce MORE Taxes - YouTube)
They even sent the FBI to confiscate Mike Lindell’s cell phone because he spoke out against them! Did you see that?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqECLkDFIHA (Mike Lindell TARGETED Over Identity Theft Case Amid FBI Raid - YouTube)
As we get ready to close, did you see the video that Pastor Jimmy Evans released, interviewing someone we are both are familiar with, Josh Peck, theorizing that the CERN has been built over the door of the infamous “abyss?” What do you think about that?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Uhn2G934oc (Is This the End? | Tipping Point | End Times Teaching | Jimmy Evans - YouTube)
https://youtu.be/q47Fng4Ags8 (The arrival of 5 “Red Heifer’s” in Israel for the sacrifice of the “New Temple.”)
Tom, this, as usual, has been awesome. If someone wanted to reach out to you, ask a question or get in touch with you, how can they do that?
Folks, as Tom has been sharing about the end days and things that are happening almost nightly on the evening news. As far as prophecies are concerned related to the return of Jesus – EVERYTHING has already happened – with the exception of the RAPTURE. And that means only one thing – IT is about to happen, too! Amen!
These are exciting times to be living in, despite all the bad happening around us! Why? Because we are going to be able to usher in the return of our King will restore all things under HIS authority. Not our governments authority. Not under Russian authority or the Taliban authority – but HIS KINGDOM AUTHORITY! Amen!
Praise the Lord! Folks, if you prayed that prayer with Tom Donnan right now, let us know! Reach out to Tom down in the show notes, click the links right there. Order his books – for FREE – the link is provided there as well.

Help me welcome back to the program, Tom Donnan.
Tom, thank you for coming back on the program and sharing with us what the Lord has shown you in your prayer time, sleep time and in your studies!
First off, you had some, let’s say, “startling” dreams recently to pray for individual people that you know. Can you share a few of them with us to start the program off?
So the end result, you believe, is God calling all of us to pray. Correct?
And this led you to go to Wisconsin to pray? How did that happen and what did you do there?
A pastor we are both familiar with, Jimmy Evans, recently had a YouTube video where he was discussing this “great deception.” Can you share with us the take-aways he discussed?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwuHtJbF2sA (Jimmy Evans | Tipping Point | End Times Deception - YouTube)
There is no doubt that Satan is behind the destruction of this society. All of the “wokeness” is simply the devil showing all his cards. Why? Because he knows the soon return of Jesus is near. He’s read the book. He knows how it will end and he is doing all he can to lift up his kingdom, the kingdom of darkness, as a last ditch effort to stop Jesus from fulfilling scripture. That means anyone who opposes the kingdom of darkness automatically has a target on their back and will face the furry of Satan’s minions.
In fact, did you see in the news recently where an Irish teacher was jailed because she opposed the “woke nonsense?”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OP3Pmz5Auxg ('Worrying situation': Irish teacher jailed over woke nonsense - YouTube)
Well, there is no doubt there is some very tumultuous times happening right now. And, unfortunately, they will only get worse before they get better. I believe you and talked before about the “stimulus money” the government was just printing from thin air – handouts to everyone, with nothing backing it. And we discussed how this was going to lead to rampant inflation. There is no other option. The more worthless money is shoved into the economy, the higher prices go. It’s almost automatic.
I know, just my wife and I, we are spending at least $400 more for groceries and expenses than we were just six months ago. That has cut into our “extra” income that we used to do other things with. Now, we do not go out to dinner or other things. That has a trickle down effect on other businesses, which means they don’t have the cash to keep their operating expenses up. So they lay off people and now even more people don’t have enough money. I’ve seen reports that some people have reverted to buying groceries on credit cards. Have you seen anything about that?
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11164809/Americans-taking-loans-buy-groceries-using-pay-later-services.html (Americans are now taking out loans to buy groceries using pay-later services | Daily Mail Online)
We have to talk about this. I could not believe...
Towers of Light Allen Brokken pt 2 Everyone loves a good story. We all enjoy taking a break from reality and just relaxing, being absorbed into a story that provides that “feel good” sense of everything works out in the end, right?
How much more, when we can spend our time with our children and get the whole family immersed into the story? Especially stories that keep their imagination going and still provides insight into Godly living, without hitting them over the head with your Bible.
My guest today has been able to bridge that gap and has found that he not only has helped his children discover the greatness of God in their life, but he is helping countless families to discover and to hold onto their Faith, even in these troubling times we live in today. Amen!
Allen Brokken started to create imaginary stories for his small children that involved their stuffed animals. But he wanted to create stories that would reinforce God’s Goodness, His protection and provision, etc., in a way that his children could understand and receive that seed into their hearts, that the Lord could take and grow as they grew up as well.
He has a series called, “Towers of Light” that has five books in the series right now… and folks, you need to check these books out. I know you are going to get a lot out of this interview.
This is part two of a very inspiring interview! When did you realize you were really onto something that other parents wanted to pass on to their children, by using your books?
How long does it take you to create one of these books?
What is the hardest part of writing books like these?
On the flip side, what is the easiest part you have found of writing these books?
You have these as an audio book as well, correct?
Now, before I let you go, I have to hear about your “Terrible Puns” offer…
Allen, this is so interesting. I know our listeners, especially those who are parents of young children or those doing homeschooling, they will want to order your books. How can they do that? How can someone order your books? Are they on Amazon?
You are running a special right now on your website, correct?
If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or maybe even do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
Folks, if you have small children or small grandchildren that you would love to introduce to the principles of Faith in God, you cannot do better than Allen Brokken’s books in the “Towers of Light” Christian family series.
Christmas is coming soon and these books would make great gifts for the little ones. These books are something that will last many, many years after they have been given. They may even end up handing them down to their children in the future, because the stories told have a timeless theme behind them. Plant the seed of God in them while they are young and they will have it the rest of their lives. Amen!

Tell us how you first came to the idea of writing these books? What was your purpose in this?
Did you know you were going to write a series or did you just start off with one…and then you decided to continue the story in further books?
How old were your children when you first started to discover this ability to use stories to teach your children these Godly principles?
These books were designed for homeschooling your children, correct?
So, are these school books or entertainment books – or both?
Can you tell us about your beta readers? I found this interesting…

This is part two of what turned out to be a GREAT three part interview! If our soul is the “candle of God” and if our soul is our connection to God, why are we tempted to do things contrary to God and His Word?
Tell us the example of the “anger robe…”
In your book, https://amzn.to/3RlnGxi (“Pictures of Your Soul,”) you describe that the animal soul and the pleasures it offers are temporary, but the opposite is true for the Divine Soul. Can you explain that for us and how it applies to us today?
You discuss, in your book, https://amzn.to/3RlnGxi (“Pictures of Your Soul,”) how God is Light and you use the example of a prism to explain this in, what I thought, was an amazing example. Can you share that with us?
Share with us about the work you do with the “Real You Project…”
Tell us about your latest music album, https://www.realyouproject.com/music (“Empty Spaces…”)
I would like to play David’s song, “Empty Spaces,” right now – just for you…
Folks, you definitely need to get your copy of Rabbi David Green’s book, https://amzn.to/3RlnGxi (“Pictures of Your Soul.”) This book is such an easy read and is very, very clear in identifying the parts to your soul.

Help me welcome to the program, Rabbi David Green!
Rabbi Green, I want to thank you for taking the time to come on the program today. I do appreciate it!
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Rabbi David Green?”
You were successful in the music industry…What made you decide to become an observant, religious person and then to enter the Rabbinical Priesthood?
How did your music change once you made this transformation?
In your book, https://amzn.to/3RlnGxi (“Pictures of Your Soul,”) you say, “The soul of man is the candle of God.” I love that metaphor. Can you explain that for us?
In https://amzn.to/3RlnGxi (“Pictures of Your Soul,”) you share the five different parts that make up the soul. Can you explain these parts for us and how they work together?
How is the soul connected to our body?
I would like to play a song from David’s first album “A Journey to the Real You…”
Folks, you definitely need to get your copy of Rabbi David Green’s book, https://amzn.to/3RlnGxi (“Pictures of Your Soul.”) This book is such an easy read and is very, very clear in identifying the parts to your soul. He explains this is such a way, I could not put it down. It is truly a great read and you will learn things that, well, I’ll just say it – most pastor’s don’t even know about. CONTACT INFORMATION:

A Golden Pen – Mark Sias pt 3 https://amzn.to/3B0uD0S ()Mark Sias is a licensed nurse practitioner who was, to put it bluntly, working himself to death. But, one day, all of the changed. He and his wife, Grace, authored a book titled, https://amzn.to/3B0uD0S (“A Golden Pen”) and is sharing his concepts with others. Mark is here today to share with us some of these concepts (of entrepreneurism), some great and very affordable ideas that could help you generate additional income and to share all about his book, https://amzn.to/3B0uD0S (“A Golden Pen.”) Amen!
Mark & Grace Sias own and operate a small legal services & signing services business in Port Orange, Florida called https://legaldocprepnotary.com/ (Noble Notary & Legal Document Preparers). But it’s not just about becoming a Notary Public. You just have to hear what Mark is about to share.
This is the conclusion of a great three part interview that will bless YOU with some ideas to generate some additional income! Another area that you are in was especially interesting to me. As a retired police officer, I’m well acquainted with how to roll finger prints. That is an area that you seem really enthusiastic about in your book, https://amzn.to/3B0uD0S (“A Golden Pen.”) What kind of demand is there for “finger printing” in our society today?
I really loved the live scan machine we used. It was so much better than the ink pad and cards. If you messed up on the last finger with the card, you had to start all over again. But with the Live Scan, it tells you if it is wrong and you simply reset and reroll. In your book you mention they make portable machines now. Is that what you use?
You also help folks prepare some legal documents. I always thought you had to hire a lawyer to do these things. But you provide information in your book about, “The Scrivener Exception.” What is that and how does it apply?
I’ve had to use a mediator and an arbitrator before. Many, many years ago in a class action suit that I was part of. You also reference this in your book, https://amzn.to/3B0uD0S (“A Golden Pen.”) I was surprised in that you reference that these are not “lawyers” doing the mediation. That just about anyone can do the training and become a mediator? Is that right?
I know your book, https://amzn.to/3B0uD0S (“A Golden Pen,”) has more examples in it, but I want us to get to this next part.
Coaching. That is something just about anyone can do because everyone is good at “something.” It may be anything from baking pies to quilting or golf to – becoming a notary, praise God. But the thing is, there are people out there that need help in many, many areas and they are willing to pay for the help. Am I right?
There is another business I want to ask you about, “Apostille Services?” I had never heard that term before. Can you explain what that is and why there is such a demand for these services?
Mark, this has been so interesting. I could go on and on, but we are about out of time. Your book, https://amzn.to/3B0uD0S (“A Golden Pen,”)how can someone obtain a copy of this great book? Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question, check out your coaching program or maybe just to do an interview such as this. How can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this down in the shown notes.
Folks, as I started this program, it is so important that you are not 100% dependent on your employer to take care of you. That is called slavery.
The Bible says we are to work. Yes. But it is also very, very important, to learn how to help meet the needs of others and take care of yourself and your family and help to “Get the Word Out” into all the earth at the same time. For many people, they have discovered the world of entrepreneurship. Being your own boss. Amen.
I urge you to get in touch with Mark Sias today. Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Mark. Ask you questions....

What are the usual startup costs for someone interested in the Notary Business?
You also help people with credit repair issues, correct? Does this involve your notary service or is this one of those “additional income streams” we discussed a few minutes ago?
How hard is it for someone to get involved in credit repair?
We’ve heard about “credit repair scams” and things like that. How do those differ from you are helping people to do and training people to do?

Help me welcome to the program, Mark Sias!
Mark, I’m so blessed that you are here today to share some of your success concepts with our listeners today.
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Mark Sias?”
So, let’s start at the beginning. You were getting burned out working in the medical field and wanted something different. How did you decide upon a “notary business?”
You have a quote that I’ve used often from J. Paul Getty, would you care to share it?
“I’d rather have 1% of a hundred people, than 100% of one person.”
As you began this business with your wife, were you really only going to focus on notary work or were there already other spin off businesses in mind?
You, obviously advocate for multiple streams of income. Can you explain for us some of the benefits of having these multiple streams of income?
In your book, you make a point of saying you do not subscribe to the “Law of Attraction,” but firmly believe in the “Law of Sowing and Reaping.” How important has your Faith been in helping you to start your own business?
In your book, https://amzn.to/3B0uD0S (“A Golden Pen,”) you outline a “few basic, baby steps…” Can you share those baby steps with us?
What is a “Key Stone Habit” and can you share a couple of examples?
Folks, as I started this program, it is so important that you are not 100% dependent on your employer to take care of you. That is called slavery.
I urge you to get in touch with Mark Sias today. Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Mark. Ask you questions. Check out his website. But you absolutely need to check out his book, https://amzn.to/3B0uD0S (“A Golden Pen.”) It contains a lot of ideas that can you implement relatively easy and affordably that could, I emphasize, COULD, because it depends on how active you are in promoting your services… they COULD make you financially self-sufficient. Amen!

Letters to William – Dave Koll https://amzn.to/3S9xdIa ()You might be shocked to learn estrangement affects over half of the families in the United States today! Social media and today’s prevalent messages of “you deserve better” and “eliminate all toxicity” from your lives has, basically, created disposable family relationships.It has become a perfect storm, that will affect generations of families now and in the future.
Because of the self-centeredness of society’s culture today, we tend to cut off anything and anyone who gives us any sort of perceived negativity. For some, that includes family.
Today’s guest, Dave Koll, has lived that life and felt the heartbreak of being estranged from his first grandson. It affected him physically, emotionally and spiritually.
To help him cope, he started to journal his feelings. This resulted in a compilation of letters to his grandson, that have now been captured into a book titled, https://amzn.to/3S9xdIa (“Letters to William: The Journey of Healing Through the Pain of Estrangement,”) which we will be discussing today.
Help me welcome to the program, Dave Koll.
Dave, thank you for joining us today, I do appreciate your time. I’ve been looking forward to our interview today.
First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Dave Koll?”
This all started with your first wife becoming pregnant and you doing the “honorable thing” in getting married, correct?
The birth of your first child was traumatic, as well all of them, correct? Can you expound on that a little bit?
So, how did you become estranged from your family?
Did you try to reconcile or at least be on amicable terms during this time?
When you first started to write these letters, it a form of therapy?
Why did you decide to put them all together in book form?
Why publish this book now, at this time?
Has this experience allowed you to be reconciled to the family and spend time with your grandson?
What advice would you give someone who is going through this situation which you have come through?
Dave, this is so interesting. How can someone receive a copy of your book, https://amzn.to/3S9xdIa (“Letters to William: The Journey of Healing Through the Pain of Estrangement?”) Is it available on Amazon?
If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or possibly do an interview like this, how can they do that? How can they get in contact with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, this is not a pleasant topic to discuss. I know that my grandson and I are extremely close. I also know how heartbroken I would be if I was unable to even know him. I also know there are some of you, listening to us right now, that are going through the same thing that Dave Koll has gone through. I also know, there is someone listening right now, that knows somebody who is going through these things.
Drop down into the show notes and order Dave Koll’s book, https://amzn.to/3S9xdIa (“Letters to William: The Journey of Healing Through the Pain of Estrangement.”) This book will give you hope. This book will help answer some of the questions about you are going through.
This book is a must-read for faith based counselors and organization looking for a non-traditional solution to inspire people dealing with estrangement situations.
This book is not a “how to guide,” but is a shared experience of encouragement and hope that may lead you to discover your own personal revelations.
I urge you to drop down into the show notes and order your copy today.

Our God is Bigger Than That Eva Marie Everson How many times have you been scared in your life? https://amzn.to/3QKAjSd () Come on – admit it!
Especially when you were a small child. The sound of thunder. A dark room. Grown ups arguing. The list could go on and on, right?
If you are a parent, you can relate as you are experiencing these things with your children or possibly your grandchildren now (if you’re getting, let’s say, “more mature” now, like me)!
What was one of the calming factors that you experienced when growing up and that you now pass on to your children? Many times, it’s simply things like, you’ve experienced the thunder storms before and know what is behind the sound. So your parents calmed you down and now you can pass this on to your children.
But in these situations when fear is being manifested, in any situation, the correct response would be an understanding that https://amzn.to/3QKAjSd (“Out God is Bigger Than That!” ) Our God is bigger than any fear the devil can manifest in any form or fashion. Amen! Don’t shout me down when I’m preaching good! Glory to God!
Well, if you are trying to pass this type of Godly Wisdom down to your children or grandchildren, I’ve got some good news for you!
Our guests today are providing you an easy way to capture the attention of those younger members of the family and share with them Godly Wisdom in the conquering of fear.
Michelle Medlock Adams and Eva Marie Everson have collaborated and written a great book titled, you guessed it, https://amzn.to/3QKAjSd (“Our God is Bigger Than That!” ) Amen!
This book has stories of various farm animals becoming scared for various reasons. From being “kicked” by other animals by accident all the way up to the young daughter of the father being scared of the dark. But, in each instance, woven into the story, is the continuing theme of https://amzn.to/3QKAjSd (“Our God is Bigger Than That!”)
They use an easy to remember stanza over and over to make it easier for your young ones to remember – and which will help them in those situations when they do become scared. I’ll let them share that information with you during the interview! Amen!
Help me welcome to the program, Eva Marie Everson! Eva, thank you for joining us today! I do appreciate it! Unfortunately, Michelle was not able to be here today, but Eva is more than able to share about this book with us!
First question I always start with is this… Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Eva Marie Everson?”
What brought you two together to write this book? How are you connected?
What can we learn from the farm animals in your book?
What will the children who read your book (or have the book read to them) learn from the stories about dealing with fear?
Is your book, “Kid tested and parent approved?” In other words, how has it been received so far?
What is the mantra that is repeated throughout the book?
Why do you think parents are drawn to the stories in the book, as well the children?
What’s the next project? Do you have a follow on book coming out? Is this the beginning of series?
I love this book! It is so needful in a time where our society seems to ripping our children’s childhood from them and just continuing to instill a sense of fear into their lives. I believe this book is going to be used by God to help many, many families, adults as well as children, come to the realization that, no matter what, https://amzn.to/3QKAjSd (“Our God is Bigger Than That!” ) Amen!
How can someone obtain a copy of this great book? Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to reach out to the two of you, for more information or perhaps to do an interview such as this. How can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, this book is an absolute must have for parents. Grandparents, you need to get copies of...
Wisdom on the Camino Kathleen Donnelly Israel pt 2 https://amzn.to/3ce5aYn ()“To walk in the footsteps of Jesus” is one of the highlights Christians claim when visit Israel. Some will just relish in the spiritual uplifting of knowing they are walking the grounds that Jesus walked.
But then, there are those that enjoy “walking where the disciples walked.” And yes, there are places like that all over Israel and the surrounding nations.
But one of the biggest challenges is known as the “Camino de Santiago” pilgrimage. Also known as the “Way of Saint James.”
This walk can start at various points, but all end up in Santiago at the church that, tradition says, has the crypt of the Apostle James inside. It is said that James followed Christ’s order to “travel to the uttermost ends of the earth.” At the time of the Apostles, Spain was considered the “ends of the earth.” So that is where James set out for.
He ministered there and then, after receiving a vision, returned to Jerusalem where he was martyred in 44 AD. Years later, his disciples traveled to Jerusalem and retrieved his body and took it back to Spain.
That’s a brief and very brief introduction to what our guest will talking about today.
Kathleen Donnelly Israel has lived in San Diego, California her entire life. She and her husband, Ron, were a team couple for “Worldwide Marriage Encounter” back in the 1970’s and 80’s. She personally cared for her husband for the 17 years he had Parkinson’s disease until he passed in 2018. During this time, she studied spiritual healing from many enlightened thought leaders and teachers.
She then traveled the Camino Santiago de Compastela road for 500 miles in 2019. It inspired her to write a book detailing this journey titled, https://amzn.to/3ce5aYn (“Wisdom on the Camino, A Spiritual Journey Sharing Forgiveness and Possibilities to Inspire the Rest of Your Life.”) She is here to share with us about her book, her journey and her philosophies about healing and forgiveness she learned and shared with the people she met along the way! Praise God!
This is part two of a great two part interview.
Why did you decide to write a book about this adventure?
What are some of the philosophies you formulated and outline in your book which you learned from thought leaders and healers?
How did you get to the Camino? My friend said he took two different trains to get to his starting point.
Were there places arranged for you to stay, to eat, shower, etc.?
Are you preparing to go back and go on another pilgrimage?
How can someone obtain a copy of your book, https://amzn.to/3ce5aYn (“Wisdom on the Camino, A Spiritual Journey Sharing Forgiveness and Possibilities to Inspire the Rest of Your Life?”) Is it available on Amazon?
If someone wanted to reach out to you, maybe to get some information on how they can prepare for or go on this type of pilgrimage or maybe just to do an interview with you such as this… how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
Folks, a pilgrimage is a great way for someone, for YOU, to get closer to God, clear your mind, meditate on scriptures, endure some discomfort and – visit some very important, spiritually significant places for Christians. You can use the links below to find out more information and to order your copy of Kathleen’s great book, https://amzn.to/3ce5aYn (“Wisdom on the Camino, A Spiritual Journey Sharing Forgiveness and Possibilities to Inspire the Rest of Your Life.”)

What made you desire to undergo such a grueling undertaking as a walk of this magnitude?
I’ve seen some of the tourist packages being promoted for this pilgrimage. They start from various places and last anywhere from 3 or 5 days on up to 36 days or even more. Some have distances of 100 miles or so, some 200 or 300. But you went on a 500 mile adventure! Did you do this all at one time or did you make several trips to complete 500 miles?
Did you travel with a companion or take the walk alone?
Some of the paths are in remote areas. Were you concerned at all about being out there alone?
What kind of training did you do to physically prepare for this type of adventure?
Can you tell us about a couple of memorable experiences you had, maybe people you met or events that happened, while you were on this journey?

Faith and Business Edwin Carrion pt 2 https://edwincarrion.com/ ()In today’s economy, many people find themselves thinking about becoming their own boss. They are contemplating starting their own business and becoming independently wealthy, not relying on anyone but themselves and God for success.
Although that is a very attainable goal, it is not as easy as it sounds. In order to be successful, you need someone who has “been there, done that and has also overcome the pitfalls that go with it.”
Our guest today has done just that…
Edwin Carrion served from 1998-2002 an active duty in the United States Marine Corps. When he left military service, he had dreams just like everyone else. The difference, he worked to attain those dreams…
Edwin is now a respected entrepreneur, businessman and deal maker with more than 20 years of successful experience in multiple industries.
During his career, he served as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President and Vice President of several significant, privately owned companies.
Edwin’s expertise in all aspects of managing operations of startups, from development, design, organization, legal, financial, marketing, capital financing and strategic negotiations with client and vendor partners, has made him the key player in growing four of his most notable companies from start up - to annual revenues exceeding $15 ,000,000. Praise God!
Edwin founded “E&D Development, Inc.” in 2002 after his military career with the United States Marines Corp. Edwin built, developed and sold over $30,000,000 in real estate.
After the real estate meltdown, Edwin founded “Countrywide Gold Buyers” (CGB) in Rhode Island. Within a few months CGB became a national company, with which he created a Franchise concept, growing “Countrywide Gold Buyers” to revenues in excess of $15,000,000.
After selling CGB in 2014, Edwin Co-founded “Eco Modern Custom Homes,” a high end real estate development company which grew its portfolio assets of projects to over $10,000,000 in just one year.
Edwin sold “Eco Modern Custom Homes” in 2017, and purchased “MDC Transport Company” in 2017. He grew the company from $2,000,000 in revenue to over $12,000,000 in just 2 years.
Today, Edwin enjoys working with beginner to intermediate real estate developers, teaching them things like, “real world negotiations; one on one mentoring with real estate developers; tax savings strategies and how to find valuable real estate development properties in their local communities.
Right on the first page of his website, he lists his titles as “US Marine, Loyal Husband, Loving father of 2 beautiful children, Entrepreneur, Self-Made Millionaire, Real Estate Developer, Investor and Mentor, but the first thing it says is, “Man of God.” Praise God!
Today is part two of a great, two part interview! I briefly listed your businesses in the opening. Can you tell us a bit more about what all of your businesses are?
Do you really need a lot of money already in the bank in order to start a business?
Can you give some secrets to a successful life & business and how to balance the “faith-life-work” balance?
Do you have a favorite bible verse that keeps your faith centered on God as you go through your day and business activities?
I have a busy time handling the three facets of this business/ministry. How are you able to manage so many business at one time?
In the overall scheme of things, what do you look for to determine the difference between a good deal and a bad deal?
You are also a podcaster! Tell us about your podcast, https://edwincarrion.com/podcast/ (“My First Investment Property Podcast?”)
Edwin, this is all so fascinating. If someone listening to us right now would like to reach out to you, to ask a question, receive more information, etc., how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
Folks, Edwin is the “real deal.”
I love interviewing patriots...
Faith and Business Edwin Carrion pt 1 https://edwincarrion.com/ ()In today’s economy, many people find themselves thinking about becoming their own boss. They are contemplating starting their own business and becoming independently wealthy, not relying on anyone but themselves and God for success.
Although that is a very attainable goal, it is not as easy as it sounds. In order to be successful, you need someone who has “been there, done that and has also overcome the pitfalls that go with it.”
Our guest today has done just that…
Edwin Carrion served from 1998-2002 an active duty in the United States Marine Corps. When he left military service, he had dreams just like everyone else. The difference, he worked to attain those dreams…
Edwin is now a respected entrepreneur, businessman and deal maker with more than 20 years of successful experience in multiple industries.
During his career, he served as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President and Vice President of several significant, privately owned companies.
Edwin’s expertise in all aspects of managing operations of startups, from development, design, organization, legal, financial, marketing, capital financing and strategic negotiations with client and vendor partners, has made him the key player in growing four of his most notable companies from start up - to annual revenues exceeding $15 ,000,000. Praise God!
Edwin founded “E&D Development, Inc.” in 2002 after his military career with the United States Marines Corp. Edwin built, developed and sold over $30,000,000 in real estate.
After the real estate meltdown, Edwin founded “Countrywide Gold Buyers” (CGB) in Rhode Island. Within a few months CGB became a national company, with which he created a Franchise concept, growing “Countrywide Gold Buyers” to revenues in excess of $15,000,000.
After selling CGB in 2014, Edwin Co-founded “Eco Modern Custom Homes,” a high end real estate development company which grew its portfolio assets of projects to over $10,000,000 in just one year.
Edwin sold “Eco Modern Custom Homes” in 2017, and purchased “MDC Transport Company” in 2017. He grew the company from $2,000,000 in revenue to over $12,000,000 in just 2 years.
Today, Edwin enjoys working with beginner to intermediate real estate developers, teaching them things like, “real world negotiations; one on one mentoring with real estate developers; tax savings strategies and how to find valuable real estate development properties in their local communities.
Right on the first page of his website, he lists his titles as “US Marine, Loyal Husband, Loving father of 2 beautiful children, Entrepreneur, Self-Made Millionaire, Real Estate Developer, Investor and Mentor, but the first thing it says is, “Man of God.” Praise God!
First question I always start with is this… Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own word, “Who is Edwin Carrion?”
You’ve gone through some tough times as well as the blessed times. I guess we could start with boot camp in the Marines as not being a picnic in the park, amen!
What made you decide to enter real estate after your stint on active duty?
That was in the 2002-2003 time frame. And we all remember what happened about 2008. How did the real estate crash affect you and what did you do during and after?
How important is it to create multiple streams of income so you are not totally reliant on just that one source?
What investment strategy have you had the most success with?
What are some of the bigger mistakes you made when you were just starting out?
I briefly listed your businesses in the opening. Can you tell us a bit more about what all of your businesses are?
I love interviewing patriots who have served this nation with honor and distinction and then used the discipline and self-drive to become successful in private life and be a blessing to others at the same time.

The Greatest Story Never Told Dr. Richard Ruhling pt 2 https://amzn.to/3qtoYKG ()Dr. Richard Ruhling has been a friend and frequent guest on this program for the last few years, and I invited him back today to share something that the Holy Spirit has just been working on my heart about.
A month or so ago, Dr. Ruhling was on as we were discussing his book https://amzn.to/3RDhS2q (“MegaQuake 2023.” ) But something he shared in that interview… I guess the best way to describe it was a “seed” was planted and began to take root and grow and the Holy Spirit was showing me somethings…
Dr. Ruhling is also preparing to publish a book titled, https://amzn.to/3qtoYKG (“The Greatest Story Never Told – Bad Translation and Papal Teaching.”) This book contains a lot of the things we will be discussing today.
I asked Dr. Ruhling to come back on the program today to discuss this topic, which is about the Holy Spirt, the third part of the Trinity. But what he has discovered in scripture just blows the traditional interpretations out of the water. This is eye opening and it will open up so much of the Bible and give you a clear, accurate understanding of some things that, well, we have gotten wrong over the years.
Today is part two of this great interview.
So, let me kind of summarize where we are at…
The “Godhead” is God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. I believe every Christian believer can agree on that…
God the Father is in Heaven, has always been in Heaven.
But when mankind fell, God the Son, JESUS and His Sister, who is called "WISDOM" agreed to come down to redeem mankind?
So why, again, did Jesus say, “I will not leave you COMFORTLESS… but it is needful for me to GO so I can SEND the COMFORTER to you?”
Something that I’ve learned as I was studying this out… In the Book of the Revelation, we have the WEDDING SUPPER of the Lamb. We, as Christians, understand that the church is supposed to be the BRIDE of Christ, etc.
But, what I learned, is the word “Apocalypse” actually has root words that refer to a WEDDING.
In Jewish and Hebrew culture, the man’s family travels to the woman’s family and they have a dinner, etc. and conversation. This is how they “get to know one another” without any kissing and romance, etc. Because we know that passion can blind a person and then they find out later they have nothing in common. But in Jewish tradition like this, they get to “know one another” by talking. At the end of dinner, the fathers discuss dowry, etc. and then the woman is asked, “Do you want to marry this man.”
If she says "yes," then from that moment on, she is considered “the bride of that man.” The man goes off to prepare a “place” for his bride. The bride is now busy preparing herself for her future PLACE. Her home is no longer where she is at – it is where she is going. So all her efforts are to prepare for WHERE SHE IS GOING.
When is she going? She does not know the exact day or hour, but she knows the season.
At the appointed time, the man comes to take her HOME. But there must be a wedding feast, that, traditionally lasted seven days.
At the wedding, the bride presents herself to the man, but is wearing a VEIL. At the wedding ceremony, here in our traditional marriages today, after the minister says, “I now pronounce as one, husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride," she flips back the VEIL and that is the REVEALING – hence, REVELATION. It is simply the “removing of the veil,” which, from what I read, was the root words to APOCALYPSE.
I said all that, to lead you into a discussion of the “Wedding Parable” – as I always get to when I’m interviewing you… but I believe that parable has EVERYTHING to do with what we have been discussing today – which is the HOLY SPIRIT is the FEMININE part of the Godhead.
Can you share about this for our listeners?
What about “standing at the door and knocks?”
What about the five foolish virgins and the five wise...

But what he has discovered in scripture just blows the traditional interpretations out of the water. This is eye opening and it will open up so much of the Bible and give you a clear, accurate understanding of some things that, well, we have gotten wrong over the years.
Let’s start, first of all, with Genesis chapter one, verses 26 and 27. “God made man in His image, in His likeness and He made them MALE and FEMALE.” Then in Genesis chapter five and verses one and two, we see again, how God made them “Male and FEMALE.” Now, you take it from there…
Jerusalem is the “mother of us all.” You shared previously that cities are named after people. So WHO is Jerusalem named after?
I want to get to this part. This is the part that opened my eyes. And that is from the Book of Proverbs. Specifically chapter eight. This is referring to WISDOM and is called SHE. That is feminine. Explain that for us because it also refers to CHRIST in that passage, correct?
Take us to the Song of Solomon and explain that book for us in light of what we just learned…
If we take that to the Book of Revelation, where John saw, Revelation Chapter One verse 13, “One who looked like the son of man…” what else do you see in this verse that relates to what we have been sharing?
So, let me kind of summarize where we are at…
The “Godhead” is God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. I believe every Christian believer can agree on that…
God the Father is in Heaven, has always been in Heaven.
But when mankind fell, God the Son, JESUS and His Sister, who is called WISDOM? Agreed to come down to redeem mankind?

Rise and Win Cory Carlson pt 2 https://www.corymcarlson.com/ ()We all think we know what “winning in life” means. Right? I mean, we see successful people delivering key note speeches and earning thousands of dollars. They then sell their books or coaching programs and earn even more. They get on a plane and head off to the next key note or to a business meeting where they close a deal for millions of dollars before taking the next trip to wherever and do it all over again.
To all appearances, it seems like they have it all. The fancy house, the new car in the driveway every year or so. Travel, travel, travel.
We envy them and wish we could be like them.
But is that truly success?
If you check on many of these people, they may be on their second or even third marriage. They may have faced bankruptcy at least once, if not several times.
Sometime, they wish they could “be like you!”
My guest today used to chase those dreams. In fact, he lived what appeared to be a very successful life. Twenty years in corporate America gave Cory Carlson amazing opportunities as he worked his way up to the executive level. But, at the same time, he saw brokenness. He saw work without purpose, strained marriages and absentee parents.
He noticed that business leaders were especially suffering, not living life to its fullest.
But, when he discovered coaching, it helped him to become a better leader, a better husband and a better father. He then left his successful career to begin helping other leaders achieve a healthier work-life balance focused on God and family as well as career aspirations.
Cory is the author of two amazing book, https://amzn.to/3AlHsm8 (“Win at Home First”) and his most recent book, https://amzn.to/3zRcZuS (“Rise and Go.”)
This is the conclusion of a great, two part interview!
You are also an author. Your book, https://amzn.to/3AlHsm8 (“Win at Home First”) was your first book. Tell as a bit about this book and why you wrote it…
Why do you think it is important for business leaders to https://amzn.to/3AlHsm8 (“Win at Home First?”)
Your most recent book is https://amzn.to/3zRcZuS (“Rise and Go.”) This book is more of a “motivator” of sorts to handle the tough times when things are not going so well, to https://amzn.to/3zRcZuS (“Rise and Go”) forward and, basically, to keep pushing for the victory.
Why did you write this book, https://amzn.to/3zRcZuS (“Rise and Go”) and publish at this time in your life and career?
Tell us about the “https://amzn.to/3zRcZuS (Rise and Go) Manifesto.” What is that?
You share that people should “mark and remember” moments when God has provided for you. Can you explain the importance of this and how you use it in your book?
Tell us about your podcast, the “Rise and Go Podcast.”
Cory, this has been so interesting. I know there are some listeners out there that want to know how they can obtain a copy of your books. Are they available on Amazon?
If someone has a question or would like more information on your coaching programs or have you to come speak at a meeting, conference, etc., how can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, even if you are not a high level executive, the information contained in Cory Carlson’s books, https://amzn.to/3AlHsm8 (“Win at Home First”) and https://amzn.to/3zRcZuS (“Rise and Go”) will definitely provide you with information you can use in your daily walk in life. No matter your career, you can always improve. But you do not want to be successful in business and forsake your family or your relationship with God.
In Mark 8:36, Jesus asks, “What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose your own soul?”

Digital Detox for Kids Molly DeFrank pt 2 https://amzn.to/3SomuKv ()How many of you parents or grandparents listening to me right now – are sick and tired of how addicted your kids or grandkids are to that darn smart phone and/or computer? Come, be honest! By faith I can see almost every parent raising their hands out there! Amen!
Molly DeFrank has a degree in international relations and worked as a press aide for former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. She left the hustle and bustle of political life to settle down and take it easy by focusing on having a family. Six kids later, the former hustle and bustle probably seems like a walk in the park! Amen!
These days, she is a stay-at-home mom and foster mom to six kids ages twelve and under.
But, in this multi-connected, device ridden world, she started seeing her children change, and not for the better. They were constantly “connected” – but not with anyone around them. These devices were stealing her children from her. One day, she said “enough is enough.”
What did she do?
She disconnected everything - and everyone - from tech. For two weeks.
What were the results?
She got her kids back, for one. Two: the kids enjoyed themselves more; read more; played more and school grades soared! Praise God.
She has since gone on to help others do this same thing and has published a book titled, https://amzn.to/3SomuKv (“Digital Detox: The Two Week Tech Reset for Kids”) that we will be discussing today.
This is the conclusion of a great, two part interview with Molly DeFrank! How did you arrive at the solution of unplugging from tech?
You recommend doing this cold turkey. Straight up “turn it all off.” Right?
Did you allow your kids to tell their friends they would not be taking calls or online for a few weeks? (I would figure somebody would call the cops or something thinking something happened to their friends)! How do parents handle this when even the schools are resorting to virtual learning (especially since the pandemic shutdowns)?
Why two weeks? Why not three weeks or for a month?
Is there a way for parents to successfully limit their child’s screen time and track the sites their kids tend to hang out on?
How do you lay all of this out in your book, https://amzn.to/3SomuKv (“Digital Detox: The Two Week Tech Reset for Kids?”)
Someone listening to us right now may be thinking, “I need to do this. But when is the best time to begin?”
Your book, obviously covers this information, but you have also helped many families through your coaching program. Share with us a little bit about what they would receive through the coaching program?
Molly, thank you for coming on the program today. If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or maybe to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
You have a special gift on your website if someone orders you book and sends you the purchase code as proof, right? Care to explain that?
Folks, if you have kids – this interview was for you! In this day and time, screen addiction is a real threat to them and their future. As Molly DeFrank has shared with us today, there is a way for you to get back your kids; to get back their future for them.
You need to drop down into the show notes and order her great book, https://amzn.to/3SomuKv (“Digital Detox: The Two Week Tech Reset for Kids.” ) If you have grandkids, you need to order two copies, one for you and one to pass along to your kids or a parenting the grandkids. Praise God!
You can just go out to eat at almost any restaurant and see people actually sitting, at the table, and texting to each other! Really? And as you look around, you will find at least half of the people in the place are looking at their phones! It’s really disheartening when you think about it…
But Molly’s book, https://amzn.to/3SomuKv (“Digital Detox: The Two Week Tech Reset for Kids”) will

The first question I always start with is this… Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Molly DeFrank?”
I was reading on your website how you love strong, black coffee that could possibly double for jet fuel! I can relate! My wife says my coffee is like medicine! But you probably needed that to keep up with all of those kids, right?
Tell us what led up to your decision to, basically, “pull the plug” on tech for your family for a few weeks?
How bad is this problem, really?
This is not only unhealthy mentally, but spiritually as well, correct?
Dopamine is one of those things that stimulate pleasure in the mind, but too much requires an even greater amount to have that same “pleasurable feeling.” That’s how people get addicted to porn, drugs, alcohol, etc., right?
What does all of this do to the minds of children, say elementary and middle school age kids and to the minds of teenagers?
How did you arrive at the solution of unplugging from tech?

Shipwrecked and Rescued Larry Jorgensen https://shipwreckedandrescued.com/ ()Growing up in the 1970’s in Marysville, Michigan, I used to watch the lake freighters travel up and down the St. Clair River all of the time. I remember one of the most fascinating ships to spot was the “Edmund Fitzgerald” at over 1000 feet in length. It was immortalized by the song, “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” written by Gordon Lightfoot, after it encountered a severe Lake Superior winter storm in November 1975.
My own personal experience of how fast a storm can roll in from Lake Superior occurred Mothers Day in 1973. Our family drove almost 12 hours up to property we owned on Lake Bailey in the Keweenaw Peninsula. It was spring and the weather was beautiful. But we awoke the next morning to two feet of snow and bitter cold! And NOBODY had cold weather clothing! We were wearing shorts, T-shirts and flip flops! Needless to say, we loaded up the car and headed home!
I’m saying all this because our guest today has written a book titled, https://shipwreckedandrescued.com (“Shipwrecked and Rescued, Cars and Crew.”) It is about a famous event in Michigan history. A story of another shipping disaster on Lake Superior. Just so you know, there have been over 10,000 ship wrecks in the Great Lakes, about 500 or more in Lake Superior and many of them still remain undiscovered due to the depth of the Lake.
Buthttps://shipwreckedandrescued.com ( “Shipwrecked and Rescued, Cars and Crew”) is about a wreck that had a good ending. A rescue. Not just a rescue of the crew, but also the cargo. A tragedy that turned to victory. But it was not an easy feat to achieve.
Larry Jorgensen has been fascinated by the wreck of the ship called, “The City of Bangor.” This was not just a ship wreck. This was a double rescue success! What is a double rescue success? Well, instead of me telling you about it, let’s welcome to the program historian and author, Larry Jorgensen!
Larry, thank you for taking the time to join us today!
Larry, let’s jump into the book. What first caught your attention about the wreck of the “City of Bangor” and why?
This wreck occurred before there was, truly, any significant use of radio, radar and things like that which we take for granted today, correct?
Tell us about this wreck and what made the rescue so difficult and, at the same time, so significant…
The crew was taken in by a generous family that took care of them during the winter.
A local businessman, basically, “invented” the snowmobile” and it was successfully used in the rescue?
Once the crew was safe, then came the second part of the rescue, correct?
Tell us about that aspect of the rescue?
It took the highway department three weeks to plow the road 40 miles to get the cars back from Copper Harbor.
I just have to ask, do you speak “Yoopernese?”
For those that don’t understand, “Yoopernese” is the dialect, accent or whatever you want to call of northern Michiganders. It sounds something like, “yah, you dalk like dis when you live der, eh?”
Growing up in the thumb area of Michigan, I was referred to as a “Troll” (that’s what Yoopers call people from the lower peninsula because we live “under the bridge” – referring to, of course, the Mackinaw Bridge).
Anyway, I could talk for hours about the UP (for those that don’t know, that means the “Upper Peninsula”).
Larry, this is awesome. I truly appreciate you sharing this story with us. How can someone obtain their own copy of https://shipwreckedandrescued.com (“Shipwrecked and Rescued, Cars and Crew?”) Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, maybe to ask a question or do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this down in the show notes below.

Treating Porn Addiction Isaiah Cruz Today’s interview is going to tread into a very sensitive area. We will be discussing pornography addictions and it may be an area that some may find a little sensitive. If you have young ones around, you may want to pause this until you are able to listen without worrying about the little ones. Yes, it’s going to be that kind of interview. Amen!
Today’s guest is Isaiah Cruz. He is a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner specializing in addiction medicine. He has been helping people, mainly men, to overcome pornography, using medication. Porn addiction is probably the most prevalent addiction in the United States, but is also the greatest addiction not being talked about. It’s possible you sit next to someone at work, on the bus or even at church, that has a problem with pornography. Yes, it is that prevalent.
Help me welcome to the program, Isaiah Cruz! Isaiah, thank you for taking the time today to discuss this very sensitive topic that is affecting so many people.
The first question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your words, “Who is Isaiah Cruz?”
Let me just start with this question right up front… Most porn addicts are males. But are there female porn addicts as well?
I remember, growing up in the 1970’s, if someone wanted to look at porn, buy porn magazines, etc., they had to go to the local corner convenience store (we did not even have 7-11’s back then), and hang around the magazine rack until nobody was near you and then grab a magazine and flip through it.
But today, porn is available everywhere, even on your phone! How has this availability affected our society today?
It’s also one of the most profitable things on the Internet, which is one of the reasons they are so prevalent.
Many people believe the United States is the leading cause of pornography addiction in the world. Mainly because of Hollywood and the liberal theology that promotes these things, things that God clearly states He hates. Do you have any statistics as they relate to pornography?
Is porn a victimless crime?
Can you share information on how porn relates to human trafficking?
How are kids being affected by pornography?
Can you share some warning signs that we should be on the watch for, not just in others, we will get to that in a minute, but let’s start with our PERSONAL lives. How can a person know if they have a problem with porn?
What about some warning signs that may be observed in others, spouses, friends, even pastors?
What about spouses, what should they be watching for and how should they handle this?
Does pornography steal intimacy or does it enhance intimacy?
Does it create unrealistic expectations in the bedroom?
Isaiah, we’ve discussed how prevalent pornography is, how damaging it is to relationships, etc. You specialize in treating porn addictions with medications. How can porn addictions be treated?
Many men may feel a little self-conscious about going to their family doctor and discussing being given this medication. Your organization can do so online, how does that work?
How long does it usually take before people see results and what would those results be?
Are there any side effects they need to be aware of?
Isaiah, this has been truly interesting. I know it’s been a couple of years since I had an porn addiction expert on the program and I believe we’ve just opened the eyes of many new listeners. How can someone get in touch with you if they have any questions or would like more information?
I’ll put links to all of this down in the show notes below.
Folks, as you have heard, porn addiction is dangerous on so many levels. This nation has a porn addiction and it has been covered up because nobody wants to talk about how bad it really is. This “hush-hush” has contributed to the addiction growing to, for lack of a better word, but one that will get
Global Planners To Take Over Tom Donnan pt 2 Points covered in this episode:
Have you also seen the mortgage defaults and foreclosures are increasing massively?
A video on YouTube by Travis Spence outlines the dire outlook of the next “housing bubble” that is set to pop – in addition to everything we’ve already discussed.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKoIqZ18vj8 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKoIqZ18vj8)
You’ve had some dreams the Lord gave you that addresses some of these things, right?
Speaking of outrageous things governments are doing for natural farming activities… Did you see how California has now passed a law REQUIRING ANYONE who has a water well to report how many gallons of water they pump each month and PAY TAXES to California for the water they use. This is wells individuals have paid to have dug; paid the maintenance for upkeep and now, California REQUIRES the consumer to REPORT water usage to the government AND to pay taxes. All they do is it back and collect taxes!

21 Our need to be in a solid relationship with Jesus and living on His strong foundation.
Tom, this has been so interesting. As usual, you’ve given us a lot to think about concerning what is happening right now and how it aligns with Bible Prophecy.
As you have indicated, people need to have a relationship with Jesus now more than ever before. If what we have shared today has sparked someone to realize they need that relationship and they are wondering what to do next, can you lead them in a prayer that will bring them into that relationship?
Folks, as we’ve stated over and over, Jesus is about to return. There is no doubt. I mean, we discussed this 250 year cycle. In fact, as Tom shared, we are actually hitting, in 2023, a convergence of three different cultural, economic and globalization cycles. This spells out trouble that lies just ahead.
With all of these things happening, we need to be prepared, physically as well as Spiritually. And we can only do that, by remaining focused on Jesus. Period. End of story – and Tom, that’s the end of today’s broadcast as well. Amen!
I appreciate you coming on and sharing today, Tom. If anyone wants to get in touch with you or receive more information, how can they do that?
Folks, that is all the time we have for today. For Tom Donnan and myself, this is Pastor Bob reminding you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO.

Victorious Souls Danielle Bernock pt 2 https://www.daniellebernock.com/ ()Rejection. That affects all of us at one time or another. It also can be something a lot of people just accept as a normal way of life. When we get to that point, we believe it just is. And that’s that.
Some people actually believe GOD has rejected us.
Our sins may have separated us forever from Him, so there is no need to even try and repair that relationship. We just accept that we will never be loved.
But, folks, that is just a lie of the devil. The problem is, so many people just accept it! But that does not have to be YOU! Amen!
Danielle’s childhood was one of rejection. She felt rejected at home. She felt rejected at church. That rejection led her to believe life was hopeless. If even God did not love her, what was the point?
But, the Truth was, God DID Love her! Amen! She came to a realization that God had been with her all along. He is with you, too. Amen!
She went from being a trauma survivor to an international, award-winning author, speaker, podcast host and trauma-informed “self-love” coach who is able to help men, women and even organizations to becoming “Victorious Souls.” She has courses and workshops that help people to implement a proven process called S.E.L.F. She is widely known as “That lady on the internet who loves you!”
This is the conclusion of a great two part interview... Your company is called “4F Media.” What are the four “F’s” stand for? 29:30
Are they the four core values of a “Victorious Soul,” or are those values something else?
How did you become known as the “Lady on the Internet that Loves You?”
As we mentioned, you are also an author.

How can someone obtain a copy of your books? Are they all on Amazon?
As we get ready to close, I have to ask about your podcast, https://www.daniellebernock.com/podcast/ (“The Victorious Souls Podcast.”) Is this an interview podcast, or teaching…? What can someone expect when they listen in?
Danielle, this has been so interesting, I feel I could just talk to you for hours. Amen! If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or maybe to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
Folks, we all have either experienced first-hand, or know someone who has, what being traumatized is all about. What feelings of inadequacy, worthlessness or questions of “why I’m even here” – are all about.
Danielle Bernock has made it her life mission to help people overcome these feelings; overcome these questions and to walk a “Victorious” life. To help you to make sure that you are a “Victorious Soul” and thriving and helping others in the process. Praise God!

I mentioned your four step process called “S.E.L.F.” Can you explain this process for us?

Finding Washington Richard Raines pt 1 https://amzn.to/3oagreE ()For those that know me, and now for those that don’t know me as well, I’m a history buff. I have been since middle school. I just love history. Especially WWII history. But second to that is the founding fathers and the Revolutionary War.
One of my favorite of all founding fathers, is George Washington.
In fact, if you compare the integrity, virtues and leadership ability of almost any President since Washington, you would find most of the lacking in some sense. Especially in this day and time – don’t get me started. Amen!
Why am I talking about history and George Washington today? I’m so glad you asked!
Our guest today is Richard Raines, author of an absolutely great book titled, https://amzn.to/3oagreE (“Finding Washington: Why America Needs to Rediscover the Virtues of Her Most Essential Founding Father.”) Let’s just say this book should be a must read for every presidential candidate considering running for office. Amen!
Richard is not only an author, but a Professor of Christian History and Christian Theology, a former CEO and a former elected official (but we won’t hold that against him)…
Why did you write this book? (Richard is referencing our closing question from part one about the “Battle of Monongahela”).
I believe another of my favorite frontiersmen was involved in this battle as well, Daniel Boone! What role did he play in this battle?
Because of his actions during this battle, the American Indians had a prophecy about his future, right?
A lot of people today claim that the Founding Fathers were not really Christian, but rather were “deists” who don’t really believe in a personal God. What are your thoughts on the subject from the research you’ve conducted?
A lot of the “cancel culture” today are claiming anyone that owned slaves could not be virtuous, no matter their contribution to society. What are your thoughts on this and how can we, as a society, understand the dilemma the Founding Fathers faced in trying to form a new nation that held opposing views to slavery?
Richard, this has been so interesting. As I said, I’m a history “nut” and have really, truly enjoyed our conversation.
How can someone obtain a copy of your book, https://amzn.to/3oagreE (“Finding Washington: Why America Needs to Rediscover the Virtues of Her Most Essential Founding Father?” ) Is it available on Amazon?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or to maybe do an interview like this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this down in the show notes.
Folks, George Washington was – and still is – an American treasure. Without him, this nation probably would not exist. He did so much in the formation of this great country. From leading a ragtag bunch of individualists and using them to defeat the largest military in the world (at that time); to motivating the squabbling delegates from the states to finally group together and take a stand for Liberty; to helping to form the office of the Presidency as we know it today and take on the title of king… We owe him an eternal debt of gratitude.
Despite the arguments to the contrary; despite the naysayers, George Washington should serve as role model for our culture today – instead of whatever the cancel culture has to say.
I urge you, if you enjoy reading about history; if you have children or grandchildren that you want to leave a positive legacy for – order Richard Raines book, https://amzn.to/3oagreE (“Finding Washington: Why America Needs to Rediscover the Virtues of Her Most Essential Founding Father.”)

First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Richard Raines?”
Everyone thinks of George Washington as this “super patriot.” But, from what I remember, he was actually an officer in the British army and was refused a promotion because he was a “colonist.” Is that right and what are your thoughts on that?
Washington’s first major command actually resulted in a surrender, correct?
How do you think this shaped his strategic planning for the Revolutionary War?
But didn’t he make a huge mistake in trying to defend Staten Island in New York?
We are taking with Richard Raine, author of an absolutely fabulous book, https://amzn.to/3oagreE (“Finding Washington: Why America Needs to Rediscover the Virtues of Her Most Essential Founding Father.”)
Richard, Washington was involved in another major battle the very next year. Tell us about the “Battle of Monongahela?”
Folks, George Washington was – and still is – an American treasure. Without him, this nation probably would not exist. He did so much in the formation of this great country.

Forgiving the Nightmare Mark Sowersby pt 2 https://amzn.to/3yTDIGT ()Forgiveness. That’s something all Christians are called to do, right? Sometimes, it is easier to say rather than do though.
But for some, life is not all sunshine and roses. It’s a nightmare. One that they cannot wake up from. One that drags them further and further into a deepening pit that they cannot seem to climb out of.
Our guest today lived that nightmare…
Suffering from physical, emotional and sexual abuse from the age of 7 until 14, in ways that most people cannot even imagine, Mark Sowersby emerged hurt, broken, resentful, rebellious and, well, the list goes on and on.
Then, one day, someone asked him to go to church. He heard the message of salvation and a seed was planted.
Forgiveness did not pop up like Jonah’s gourd. No, it took time.
Matthew tells us we need to forgive… But sometimes, there are time gaps between knowing what to do and actually doing it.
Pastor Mark Sowersby is the author of a great book detailing his journey. It’s titled, “https://amzn.to/3yTDIGT (Forgiving the Nightmare.”) Mark is also the lead pastor at Calvary Community Church in Dudley, MA. He is here today to discuss his book and to share his story in the hope of touching someone somewhere with that same kind of seed. The seed of forgiveness.
This is the conclusion of a great, two part interview with Pastor Mark...
In your book, https://amzn.to/3yTDIGT (“Forgiving the Nightmare,”) you talk about the “journey” that you are on. Can you share with us about, what you call, “forgiving at different levels?”
Are there still times when something happens that brings those nightmares back and you must forgive again?
Do you still have a relationship with your mother?
Your personal ministry is also titled, https://amzn.to/3yTDIGT (“Forgiving the Nightmare.”) Every person has their own kind of “nightmare” which they are living with. Something that the devil has used to try and keep us in some sort of bondage and not serving the Lord the way we would like to. How do you help those like that to overcome their nightmares?
Pastor, this has all been so interesting. How can someone order your book, https://amzn.to/3yTDIGT (“Forgiving the Nightmare?”) Is it available on Amazon?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or possibly do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all this down in the show notes below…
Folks, not everyone has gone through life carrying the burden Pastor Mark has had to carry. But each one of us has had to carry something. Jesus is big enough to handle it. Jesus can remove those burdens and help you to forgive. Forgive those who have hurt you and even to forgive yourself.
If you prayed that prayer with Pastor Mark, reach out to him today, right now! Let him know that you prayed with him. Amen!

Your father was absent during your upbringing and you were raised by your mother. But that does not sound like it was a nurturing relationship either. Share with us just a little of what growing up in this environment was like?
Did your mother know what was happening?
Did any teachers or anyone in authority ever question what was going on?
Did you have any friends you confided in?
You said it stopped about age 14. How did your uncle provided the support you needed?
How did you come to meet the Lord?
How did you receive your calling into the ministry? Surely, the enemy tried to dissuade you from answering that calling, right?
You’re familiar with the story of Jacob wrestling with the angel who touched his hip and gave him a new name. The Bible says, basically, he walked with a limp the rest of his life, that’s the way I see it. But it was a continual reminder that his past was past and he now had a new name, Israel. He could never forget that the “old Jacob” was different from the man named “Israel.” Do you see yourself relating to Jacob in that matter?
Why did you write your book, https://amzn.to/3yTDIGT (“Forgiving the Nightmare”) at this point in your life?
Folks, not everyone has gone through life carrying the burden Pastor Mark has had to carry. But each one of us has had to carry something. Jesus is big enough to handle it. Jesus can remove those burdens and help you to forgive. Forgive those who have hurt you and even to forgive yourself.

"The Godhead" Dr. Richard Ruhling "MegaQuake 2023 is Coming!" https://amzn.to/3qMlWSr ()My guest today is a frequent guest on our program. I always look forward to Dr. Richard Ruhling’s appearances as his knowledge on a variety of topics always speaks directly to things we see happening all around us. From the COVID virus to eating healthy instead of taking toxic medications; from signs of the times to warnings from the Bible, Dr. Ruhling has proven himself to be an expert that we can turn to for a wealth of information.
This is part two of a great interview I recently had with Dr. Ruhling. The information he is about to share is so important, I wanted to allow us the time to do a "deep dive" into the topic of "The Godhead" and what he is about to share!
He is releasing a new book right now, https://amzn.to/3qMlWSr (“Mega Quake 2023”) that goes into great detail on WHY we are now entering the “last days” before the return of Jesus. But he goes a lot deeper than just “saying” we are in the last days. He is sharing a wealth of information – all with the purpose for YOU to give God and Jesus another chance. Amen!
Last time you were on, we discussed your most recent book, https://amzn.to/3qMlWSr (“Mega Quake 2023.”) We talked a bit about the coming earthquakes, how they will increase in frequency and intensity.
But you were about to get into something very important and I wanted to have enough time for you to explain it. Share with us what you learned about the "The Godhead."
Dr. Ruhling explains some insights into the Godhead…
Dr. Ruhling explains things we are seeing today as they relate to the “wedding parables” in Luke 12.
Dr. Ruhling gives a great explanation on the “Song of Solomon” and how it relates to Christ.
Dr. Ruhling gives an indepth explanation about “The Holy Spirit” (and it makes complete sense) and the “Wedding Supper of the Lamb.”
Dr. Ruhling shares how we can understand these things a bit differently than most Evangelical churches have been interpreting them.
You believe this is going to occur in 2023? Just in a few months from now. You have, I believe, 3 time lines in your book, https://amzn.to/3qMlWSr (“MegaQuake 2023”) that point to this event. Can you share a bit more on this for us?
Dr. Ruhling, once again, you have given us a lot of information to process. How can someone obtain a copy of your book, https://amzn.to/3qMlWSr (“Mega Quake 2023”)? Is it available on Amazon?
Folks, I’m telling you, mark my words… we are living in the last hours of the last days of life on earth as we know it. You need to get ahold of Dr. Richard Ruhling’s book, https://amzn.to/3qMlWSr (“Mega Quake 2023”) and learn for yourself what is happening today.
Just use the email or website links down below to get in touch with Dr. Ruhling and receive your FREE copy of this book, https://amzn.to/3qMlWSr (“Mega Quake 2023”) from Dr. Ruhling. Amen!
If you prefer to order direct from Amazon, you can do that, too! Dr. Ruhling, thank you for taking the time to come back on the program today and bless us with the Lord has shown you and giving us an opportunity to help you “Get the Word Out!” Amen!

MegaQuake 2023 – Richard Ruhling “Get Ready – It’s Almost Time” https://amzn.to/3qMlWSr ()With all that has been happening in the world, and especially here in the United States recently, some are wondering if this all points to the Biblical “end times” as depicted in the Bible. In fact, in the Book of Daniel, he is told to “…shut up these words and seal the book until the time of the end. Many will roam to and fro and knowledge will increase.”

Have you discovered, through your research, any further information on these earthquakes that will start to, literally, “shake the world?”
You say the earthquake you just described is encoded 4 ways. What are those 4 ways and what does it all mean?
Dr. Ruhling shares scripture insights that line up various prophecies that point to a huge earthquake (a shaking) in 2023!
(He ties together scriptures from both the Old Testament and the New Testament - you need to listen to this)! Dr. Ruhling, once again, you have given us a lot of information to process.

A Mission to Help the Vets Jane Babcock pt 3 https://kcrpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Jane-Babcock.jpeg ()These last few years, there has been an increase awareness about the terrible care our military veterans have received.
Thank God for the efforts President Trump put into this area that did show some promising improvements and results. Amen!
But there is still a long way, a very long way, to go.
Our vets, their spouses and their families are hurting. They are suffering. And when they try to navigate the myriad mazes that consist in our government, they get lost and give up. Or they fall through the cracks and start over again. And again. And again.
But, all hope is not lost. There is a team of volunteers out there that take this very, very seriously. Our guest today has formed a grass roots mission, “National Promises Made But Not Kept by the VA.”
Jane Babcock has been a volunteer for over 12 years, serving the veterans in her state of Wisconsin, but also helping others nationwide! Praise God.
Through her volunteer training and guidance, with one-on-one virtual calls, live and podcast interviews, in person group and virtual classes, Jane has been on the forefront of helping veterans navigate the mazes of bureaucracy, especially inside the VA. Amen!
Her mission is to educate every veteran, their families, and their widow(or)s on the benefits which the VA seems happy to keep secret.
This is part three of a great three part interview! What about funeral benefits? Do VA Counselors also help with those?
I’ve heard that a veteran should “prearrange” funeral plans in a VA cemetery, well before their death or that of a spouse. How is that accomplished if they are not in a terminal state of health?
You are trying to put together a media push to get this information out there before Veterans Day. Can you share what it is you are trying to put together?
Before we close, you mentioned something about “war time pensions.” What is it you would like to share?
What about a vet that has a good income, health insurance, etc., but would like to have their prescriptions filled by the VA and still have that annual physical. Is that something that the vet can do?
Jane, this has really been informative. I know I’ve learned a lot and our listeners have as well.
How can they reach out to a local benefits educator in their area? How can they find someone like you that can help them locally?
If someone had a question or wanted to get in touch with you, maybe to do an interview like this, how can they do that?
Folks, as a veteran and just as an American, I’m shocked to see how bureaucracy has treated and continues to treat our heroes. It is a tragedy. It really is.
But folks like Jane Babcock are there to help.
If you want to get in touch with your local VA benefits educator, look them up. Find a contact number. Email Jane and tell here where you are located and she can probably refer you to someone or maybe email you the info you need to get started. Amen!
This is something YOU need to take control of. Amen!
I urge you, if you are a veteran or a family member of a veteran or are just aware of a situation involving a veteran, please get in touch with Jane or a local representative and get the help that is due to the veterans. Amen!

Today is part two of an amazing three part interview!
You published a LinkedIn article that discusses just a few of the cases in which you intervened. One of the stories was about a Marine with over 25 years of service and fully qualified for retirement, but they were going to put him on Retired Reserve due to surgeries prior to his retirement date. Can you briefly explain that situation for us and how you intervened and what the result was?
You are also able to help those Marines that were stationed at or working at Camp Lejuune, North Carolina from the 1950’s to 1980’s. Explain what that is all about and how people that worked there during that time could be impacted?
This just is not for the older vets out there. I’ve seen news reports of how those who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan and that area were affected by pit burns. Can you share a little bit about those benefits that vets could be entitled to?
Share with some of things the VA has available for caregivers of these veterans…
What about the condition of some of the VA Nursing Homes we’ve seen on TV? Have they gotten better since those news reports?
You assist veterans with applying to the VA for these and other benefits. Why shouldn’t these vets apply on their own? What’s the benefit of using someone like you?
What about funeral benefits? Do VA Counselors also help with those?
If you want to get in touch with your local VA benefits educator, look them up. Find a contact number. Email Jane and tell here where you are located and she can probably refer you to someone or maybe email you the info you need to get started. Amen!

Help me welcome to the program, Jane Babcock!
Jane it is a blessing to have you come on this program and share what you do for our Veterans and their families. I do appreciate your time!
First question which I always start with, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Jane Babcock?”
Your research says there were 32 million veterans in 1976, but today, there are less than 20 million. Can you share with us the importance of these numbers and how they do not really tell the whole story?
Explain what the Nehmer Court Ruling is and how that is supposed to be helping veterans and their surviving spouses…
As a veteran, I’ve known people who suffered from and also have received some benefits from being exposed to “Agent Orange” in Vietnam. But is this still a benefit that vets are eligible for today?

The Mighty Oaks Program Jeremy Stalnecker pt 2 As many of you know, from some of the conversations I’ve had on this program, my first love was the United States Army. The love of country; the desire to serve and to protect; the brotherhood and comradery you shared.
The missions. The dangers. The highs and lows. The struggles. Everyone was going through it together. Everyone was enduring the same thing. Everyone hated it and still loved it at the same time.
For those that served, you know what I’m talking about. For those that did not serve, it is hard for me or anyone else to put into words.
Our guest today is a veteran and part of a group that you just need to know about. It is the “Mighty Oaks Foundation” and our guest today is the Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, Jeremy Stalnecker. Jeremy was a Marine Corps Infantry Officer with the First Battalion, Fifth Marines, First Marine Division as a platoon commander in various positions.
In January 2003, his unit was deployed to become part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. As the war began, his unit was the first to breach the berm separating Kuwait and Iraq and they were able to secure the first military objective of the war.
Continuing, they road marched forward and ended up in Baghdad and were able to seize control of the Presidential Palace in northern Baghdad on the Tigris River.
Throughout this mission, Jeremy and his unit provided navigation and security for the battalion.
One month after returning from war, he became the assistant pastor at his church and gained ministry experience that would equip to doing what he is doing now, serving the Lord and furthering his ministerial responsibilities.
In 2008, Jeremy took on the role of senior pastor of the Bay Area Baptist Church in Freemont, California. After serving there for seven years, he accepted a full time position with the Mighty Oaks Foundation where he is able to use both, his military background and his ministry experience to help many hurting veterans, service members, their families as well as first responders and their families.
The “Mighty Oaks Foundation” is committed to serving the brokenhearted by providing intensive peer-based discipleship through a series of programs, outpost meetings and speaking events...
You have programs for both men and women. Do you have a program for husband and wife to attend together?
Survivors guilt is a very serious emotional problem for many of our veterans. How does “Mighty Oaks” help people to answer that question of “Why them and not me?”
How do you help hurting veterans to share their stories? Just the fact of being able to talk with someone can often begin the path for healing?
Does your organization offer speakers for Veterans events, churches, conferences and things like that?
Is there any cost for a veteran, family member, first responder, etc. for your programs?
You also host a podcast, https://www.jeremystalnecker.com/ (“March or Die,”) correct? Tell us about your program?
Jeremy, this has been a great interview. I know someone out there listening to us today either needs to get in touch with you or knows someone that needs your services.
How can someone get in touch with you, the “Mighty Oaks Foundation,” and apply for your services or have someone come out and speak at an event, etc.?
How can someone listen to your podcast?
Folks, I have spoken at veterans conferences and I have met many people in what I do that served this nation. Many of the suffer from some form of PTSD, have Traumatic Brain Injuries, have developed severe illnesses, etc. And the services offered by “The Mighty Oaks Foundation” are there to help these folks.
Perhaps you know of someone that can use their services.
Perhaps you can help them reach someone that can use their services. How?
By making a donation to support their work. Every donation matters. Every dollar allows them to continue reaching others that need their...

The missions. The dangers. The highs and lows. The struggles. Everyone was going through it together. Everyone was enduring the same thing. Everyone hated it and still loved it at the same time.
For those that served, you know what I’m talking about. For those that did not serve, it is hard for me or anyone else to put into words.
I left service in 1989 after 12 years. I left the Cavalry, I was a CAV officer, and went into business and somehow found my way into law enforcement – and the rest is history. Amen! Those that have been listening to this program for any length of time knows the story. For those that are new, just keep listening or go the archives and you’ll know.
The reason I’m bringing this up, especially around the 4th of July holiday, is because each and every man and woman who signed up and served, did so voluntarily. They volunteered to protect this nation and the freedoms we enjoy.
Many, many of them who came in after I left service, served their entire careers during conflict. Many served in hazardous areas their entire time in service. Witnessing things that no human being should witness. Participating in action that has left huge, emotional scars that haunt them to this day.

Help me welcome to the program, Jeremy Stalnecker!
First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Jeremy Stalnecker?”
As I was preparing for our interview, I was reading about your career and the mission of protecting the battalion during the major movement, etc. Brother, that was my job in the Cavalry as well. So I can relate to everything you shared about that on your website. Praise God.
Your unit was one that breached the berm. The unit and men that I had served with were part of that “end run” to the rear echelon area and cutting off the supply lines and avenues of retreat. First Cav Division. Praise God.
You are the co-founder of the “Mighty Oaks Foundation.” What brought you to begin this type of organization and how did
I Am Justice – Tom Donnan pt 2 As we continue unabated down the path outlined in the Book of Revelation, there seems to be a sense of apathy – even in the Body of Christ. We have become desensitized to what we see on the news.
Shootings take place and our response is, “That’s terrible. Those poor people…” We hear about children being kidnapped and trafficked, “Those poor kids. What kind of monsters do that?” We hear about earthquakes and thousands of people killed and even more are injured, “Oh, that’s terrible…”
And that’s it! No action. No PRAYERS by the Body of Christ! None!
Oh, there may be a mention somewhere as someone, maybe your pastor or somebody says, “Don’t forget to lift up those children or the victims or those dealing with the forest fires, earthquakes, mass shootings – whatever, in prayer.”
And that, in 90+% of the cases, is it!
No national cry for prayer. None.
Tom Donnan is back with us today as we are going to discuss something the Lord spoke to him. Three words, “I Am Justice.” And how true that is…
This is the conclusion of our great, two part interview... With all these things happening, in this day and hour, there is no doubt that, Spiritually, “something” is happening! In fact, even those who deal with the “natural” outlook on world events are believing we are closer than ever to the infamous “Doomsday.” Have you seen the “Doomsday Clock” was moved closer to the climax of midnight than ever before?
https://thebulletin.org/doomsday-clock/current-time/ (Current Time - 2022 - Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (thebulletin.org))
We usually discuss some type of disaster that has happened somewhere in the world as further proof of things going south fast… What do you think about Lake Mead’s water supply getting so low, they’ve had to cut off supply water to some states!

Say what you want, but I believe President Trump was appointed by God to give the United States “one last chance” to turn things around. This New World Order was being stopped in its tracks as he did not play that game. He was 100% for his America First policies – which is why the “new world order” worked so hard to discredit him and, some speculate, forced China to “release” the COVID virus to interrupt his policies. If it were not for COVID, there is no doubt President Trump would have been reelected. Employment was up across the board for all races, unemployment was down, the economy was up, the interest rates were down, everything was positive. We were energy independent for the first time in like 50 years!
And after decades of talking about it – President Trump finally moved the American Embassy to Jerusalem!
Our allies were looking favorably on us again. Our enemies respected and feared us (notice Putin did nothing while Trump was in office. He did under Obama-Biden and as soon as Biden took office, he started into Ukraine!
But then, COVID came along and changed everything…
President Biden is making a trip to Israel to try and talk them back into a two state solution – again!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sswtt4NTf_g (President Biden will travel to Israel, West Bank and Saudi Arabia in July - YouTube)
Due to the Biden administration’s policies, inflation is up, the economy is down, unemployment is up, crime is rampant and we are energy dependent to the point, he is going with hat in hand to Saudi Arabia begging for oil. Can you believe this?

Oh, there may be a mention somewhere as someone, maybe your pastor or somebody says, “Don’t forget to lift up those children or the victims or those dealing with the forest fires, earthquakes, mass shootings – whatever, in prayer.”
And that, in 90+% of the cases, is it!
No national cry for prayer. None.
Most people don’t even know when the National Day of Prayer takes place, let alone fast and pray on the first Thursday in May.
Is there any wonder WHY the United States of America in in the condition it is in right now? Is there any wonder WHY we see all the crime, recessions, wars and rumors of wars and natural disasters beyond anything ever recorded before, happening NOW?
YES THERE IS!
And to discuss WHAT that is, our good friend Tom Donnan is back with us today as we are going to discuss something the Lord spoke to him. Three words, “I Am Justice.” And how true that is…
And with the recent decision by the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade – it is even more important than ever as we look at this through the Spiritual lens of scripture! Amen!
Help me welcome back to the program, our good friend, Tom Donnan!
Tom, thank you for joining us again today, brother!
Tell us what the Lord spoke to you and showed you…
How does Roe v. Wade fit into all of this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcDBbbWAWow (Breaking down what overturning Roe v. Wade means - YouTube)
We talked before about Ezekiel 14:12, how God sends troubles to those who don’t listen to Him. And we talked about the Spiritual SHAKING of America (and the world). Just briefly go over those things again and remind our listeners of what they were…
You believe the food shortages and financial problems are all self-inflicted wounds?
I did a series on “The Last Pope” several years ago, after reading “Petrus Romanus: The Last Pope,” by Thomas Horn and Cris Putnam way back in 2012. I did the series I think in 2013. But the evidence they presented actually happened AFTER the book was published when the Pope suddenly announced his retirement (which, in the book was identified as September of 2012). He announced his retirement in May of 2013…but through interviews with other Vatican insiders, he initially planned to announce his retirement in – you guessed it, “September of 2012! Then, according to the book, the last Pope would be selected…a “Roman” Pope. And now we have Pope Francis – who is from Rome initially, but ended up living in South America… Coincidence – I think not! How about you, Tom?

With all these things happening, in this day and hour, there is no doubt that, Spiritually, “something” is happening! In fact, even those who deal with the “natural” outlook on world events are believing we are closer than ever to the infamous “Doomsday.” Have you seen the “Doomsday Clock” was moved closer to the climax of midnight than ever before?

We usually discuss some type of disaster that has happened somewhere in the world as further proof of things going south fast… What do you think about Lake Mead’s water supply getting so low, they’ve had to cut off supply water to
Storytellers With a Message Lorrie Grant https://www.lorriedgrant.com/ ()Have you ever heard your parents or grandparents tell stories of their life and experiences? I have. I was raised by my grandparents for a good part of my life. I still remember sitting on the porch with my grandfather as he would reminisce. I loved those times and I still hold them precious.
I share those stories of his and some of my own with my grandchildren (my kids have heard them all before and just roll their eyes now)! But my grandkids, I wanted to share the stories with them so, perhaps, they might just share them with their children and grandchildren when I’m no longer here.
Why am I bringing all of this up? I’m so glad you asked!
Our guest today is Lorrie Grant. Lorrie is a natural born story teller! I’ve read some of her blogs and they are amazing! You get sucked right into the story! Amen!
Lorrie is also an author of three published children’s books, https://amzn.to/3ot6l8U (“Why is There an Elephant in My Basement?”) https://amzn.to/3otCkWm (“Little White Flies”) and https://amzn.to/3z49pgG (“I Am Beautiful Too.”)
She is also a podcast host! Praise God! Her podcast is called, http://www.storytellerswithamessage.com/ (“Story Tellers with a Message.”) Amen!
My first question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Lorrie Grant?”
I read on your website that you almost failed Freshman English in college. Is that right?
Can you tell us what first led you into writing?
When I read that on your website, that reminded me of those times with my grandfather, which is why I opened with those comments. Those really are precious memories. I know you’re wanting to pass them on to your children and I think you’re onto something with these books.
Tell us about the book, https://amzn.to/3ot6l8U (“Why is There an Elephant in My Basement?”) What is that about?
What is the point of the book? What is the take away for your readers?
What age group are you targeting with your books and your writing? Who is it you are writing for?
The book, https://amzn.to/3otCkWm (“Little White Flies,”) I’ve heard of “Little White Lies,” but what is the https://amzn.to/3otCkWm (“Little White Flies”) about?
Your book,https://amzn.to/3z49pgG ( “I Am Beautiful Too,”) this is a book about self-image and things like that, correct? How do you communicate that message with this story?
What is coming up next? What books are you working on now?
You are also a podcaster! Tell us about your podcast, http://www.storytellerswithamessage.com/ (“Story Tellers with a Message?”)
How long have you been podcasting?
What is the format and do you have guests?
Lorrie, this is all so interesting. I feel I could talk to you for hours about this stuff. It’s really great.
Lorrie, this has been great. Where can someone order your books? Are they on Amazon?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or maybe to do an interview like this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
Folks, as I started this interview, I told you a story about my grandfather telling me stories, and how I have passed them and some of my life stories and experiences down to my kids and grandkids as well.
That is what Lorrie Grant has done through her writing and her stories are so insightful and they will make you laugh and say, “Me, too!” to some of them. They really are great and they are very easy to read in just a couple of minutes.
I urge you to go to her website and sign up to receive her blog posts. Be sure to check out her podcast by clicking the link below as well. And you most definitely need to order her books. Those links are down below as well. Order copies for your kids, your grandkids, the next door neighbor kids and even for your Sunday School classes. These books are great for reading to a group or individually...
Finishing Your Race - Tyler Moon https://www.instagram.com/moonfamilyministries/?__coig_restricted=1 ()Tyler Moon was running his first 10 mile race on October 19, 2019 in the Twin Cities 10 Miler. Shortly after logging the first mile, Tyler collapsed from heart attack…
Two years later, he was back, lined up to complete the race that nearly killed him. He not only finished the race, he started his own ministry called “Moon Family Ministries.”
His story is one that will definitely inspire you to not let the devil keep you down. Amen!
Now, other than that brief information I just shared, tell us in your own words, “Who is Tyler Moon?”
Tyler, take us back to that day, October 19, 2019. Have you had any heart related issues prior to that date?
Were you married at that time? October 2019?
I’ve read where you only remember the first mile of the race. How far did you actually run before collapsing?
You do not remember having chest pains or anything during the race?
Were you born again on that day?
From simply running the race to – what? What is the first thing your remember after the first mile of the race?
Was your family at the race on that day?
What was the diagnosis (and can you explain it in layman’s terms)?
Did they do any surgeries or medical procedures to fix what was wrong?
What kind of physical therapy did they put you through and how soon did you have the dream of returning to running?
What did your doctors say to that idea?
How long did you train before entering your first race – post event?
You did the 10 mile race with, Jesse (Jesus), one of the people who performed CPR on you, correct?
The two of you have become fairly good friends, right?
Was there some kind of testing or medical testing you could have taken that would have found this medical issue before that day in October 2019?
Obviously, you’ve probably given your testimony “a few times” over the years. Have you been doing any public speaking on what happened, like TEDx talks or anything like that?
You’ve started “Moon Family Ministries,” in response, obviously, because the Lord is leading you to do so, not so much in response to your story of what happened. You are also in the “young adult ministry.” Is this in and through your local church? Tell us about that…
Tyler, this has been so interesting. If someone has a question or would like to find out more information, or possibly do an interview such as this… How can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to that in the show notes below.
Folks, this is a very serious issue. I’ve been witness to two young men die, while running, with this same issue. Both were while I was in the military, way back in the 1980’s. Technology was not as good back then as it is now. But, Tyler is an example, this is still prevalent, even today.
I urge you, if you feel anything at all is not “normal,” get checked out – especially before any taxing event on your body and heart.
Next, the most important thing, is knowing Jesus is your Savior. There is no guarantee for tomorrow. There is no guarantee for the next hour or the next five minutes. What is guaranteed, is that “it is appointed unto every man once to die – then the judgement.” That’s it! You need to make sure that Jesus is your Lord BEFORE something happens!
Imagine if Tyler would not have been born again and thought, “I’ll just wait until Sunday to make Jesus the Lord of my life.” The race was on SATURDAY, folks! If he would not have been born again and those people that helped him by performing CPR and keeping him alive until the medics arrived and all that happened after that – he would be suffering eternally right now!
Good intentions don’t do it. You need Jesus. If you have not received Him as your Savior, I urge you to do so right now!
Tyler Moon leads you in a prayer of salvation…
Folks, if you prayed that prayer with Tyler Moon right now, contact him!...
Love Is… - Kim Sorrelle pt 2 Many people experience health issues and, for some, massive, life changing surgeries. Many others are there as loved ones go through these ordeals as well. Very few deal with both situations simultaneously – and then, to add grief onto sorrow as well, lose their spouse while trying to recover from their own health issues.
But that is what happened to our guest today. Kim Sorrelle was diagnosed with breast cancer and was facing down the double mastectomy and the recovery and all of the emotions that revolve around that. But then had to face, just six weeks later, her husband being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer – and losing him to the cancer.
Kim is the executive director of a non-profit organization, speaker, writer, and author of the book, https://amzn.to/39soHTG ("Love Is: A Year Long Experiment in Livingout 1 Corinthians 13 Love.") Kim has been a guest on numerous television and radio broadcasts as well as being interviewed and published in numerous newspapers and magazines. She is the author of two books, one book is titled, https://amzn.to/39soHTG (“Love is,”) and is based upon her desire to live an entire year according to First Corinthians 13:4-8 (known as the “Love chapter” in the Bible). Her previous book is titled https://amzn.to/3QzaGnZ (“Cry Until You Laugh”) and is based upon her journal she was keeping at the time, and was written as a way to help others deal with their grief.
This is the conclusion of a great two part interview with Kim Sorrelle...
The first story in your book deals with “patience.” It is titled, “Love is Patient,” and details a cargo shipment of supplies your organization had shipped to Haiti. Can you share a bit from that event and how you learned, “Love is Patient?”
The Vice President of our ministry, Pastor Mike Hall, has had a mission outreach for 25 or more years in Haiti called “Real Hope for Haiti.” It’s a Christian school and orphanage. One of the things he tells us about are the gangs that, basically, will halt traffic and “charge” for passage from one town to the next. Have you experienced that as well?
How has the pandemic and all of that affected, not just your organization efforts, but those in Haiti that depend on this support as well?
Out of all the different facets of “love” as described in the Bible and that you practiced for that entire year or so, which one was the hardest to put into application?
Which one was the most impactful for you?
You also have another book, https://amzn.to/3QzaGnZ (“Cry Until You Laugh.” ) This is basically your journal as you go through the diagnosis, surgery prep, the surgery and recovery from breast cancer, and the diagnosis and loss of your husband, correct?
Why did you decide to turn your personal diary into a book and have it published?
I’ve read some of the reviews. It is truly ministering to those who have also suffered a traumatic loss of a loved one.
Kim, this has been so interesting. How can someone order your book, https://amzn.to/39soHTG (“Love Is…”) and, for that matter, https://amzn.to/3QzaGnZ (“Cry Until You Laugh?” ) Are they on Amazon?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, perhaps to ask a question, invite you out to speak at an event or maybe to do an interview like this… How can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
Folks, Kim Sorrelle’s book, https://amzn.to/39soHTG (“Love Is: An Experiment in Livingout 1 Corinthians 13 Love),” is an absolutely must read for every believer out there! If you understand that God IS Love and that Jesus IS God – and that we are called to witness about Jesus to ALL that we meet – well, you need to understand what “Love Is…!” Amen! In order to grasp what it is like to “walk in Love” – you need to get your own copy of Kim Sorrelle’s book that details her adventure down this path! You will laugh, cry, cringe and realize that, if you’re honest, YOU have a lot to learn about this as well. Amen!

First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Kim Sorrelle?”
You book, https://amzn.to/39soHTG (“Love Is: A Year Long Experiment in Livingout 1 Corinthians 13 Love,”) was published in December 2021. Why did you feel it was important to publish your book at this time?
Before starting your journey to “study Love,” what did you think “love” really meant?
A lot of this book is set in Haiti. Your organization supports work in Haiti, “Rays of Hope International.” Can you tell us about your organization?
You have a great story about taking a group of men to Haiti to check out a ministry opportunity. Can you share with us, not just the story, but what aspect of “Love” you were working through at the time?
The first story in your book deals with “patience.” It is titled, “Love is Patient,” and details a cargo shipment of supplies your organization had shipped to Haiti. Can you share a bit from that event and how you learned, “Love is Patient?”

Sunflowers Beneath the Snow Teri Brown pt 1 http://www.terimbrown.com/ ()We all love a good fiction story every now and then. We love one that has just enough truth included to make it plausible, but yet keep us entertained and wondering, “What happens next.”
When I can interview an author who has also included some elements of Faith in the story, too… Well, I can’t resist. Amen!
Teri is the author of https://amzn.to/3tv1wP6 (“Sunflowers Beneath the Snow”) a historical fiction that is set in the Ukraine. Little did she know that the inspiration for the writing and publishing of her book was part of God’s plan to have it published right now, in light of what we see happening in the Ukraine. Amen!
https://amzn.to/3tv1wP6 (“Sunflowers Beneath the Snow”) covers three generations of women struggling to survive after the betrayal of one Ukrainian rebel. The rebel was the husband and father and three women, the wife / mother, daughter and eventually the granddaughter. I don’t want to give away the plot as that will be part of our discussion today…
This is part three and the conclusion of our great interview, with Teri Brown! What kind of preparatory training did you do in order to get ready for the physical challenges you were about to face on your cross-country bike ride, from Oregon to Washington, DC?
Since you completed the trip, we know you were successful. But how were the Rocky Mountains on a bicycle? I know when I drove them in a car, it taxed the car a few times!
How long did the entire trip take?
You took the northern trip across to and then down Michigan. How was the Mackinaw Bridge and Mackinaw Island? I’m from Port Huron, Michigan so I was reading those blogs on your website.
What is your next challenge? Both on the bicycle and in writing?
Teri, this all so interesting. How can someone order a copy of your book? Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to ask a question or get more information, or possible do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
If someone wanted to follow your blog, how can they do that?
Folks, I cannot emphasize enough how historically accurate and how timely the release of this book, https://amzn.to/3tv1wP6 (“Sunflowers Beneath the Snow”) is and how timely the release of this book is, for the day and time in which we live today. This book will give some background about Ukraine at a key, pivotal point in its history, just when people best need to understand these past events in order to absorb the present-day challenges their nation faces today.
I want to encourage you to drop down into the show notes and click the links right there to get in touch with and follow Terri Brown’s work and also to order her book, https://amzn.to/3tv1wP6 (“Sunflowers Beneath the Snow”).
In fact, I would encourage you to order two or three books and share them with family, friends and co-workers. If you are part of a book club or something like similar, order copies for your group and use it as your monthly book or something. Amen!

This is part two of a three part interview! How did you do all of the research on the language, the customs, the food, etc. in preparation for writing this book?
Did you ever have writers block and what do you do counter it?
When you go on a retreat, do you seclude yourself and not come out until you are finished?
On this retreat you are going on, do you have a book in mind or do you just go up there and see what comes out in book form?
https://amzn.to/3tv1wP6 (“Sunflowers Beneath the Snow”) was published, I would say, in a “Godly time frame,” as it relates to everything we see happening right now in the real world. It could be a story of a very real family struggling this very real world. It covers almost thirty years in the story, bringing us almost through the entire modern day era of the Ukraine nation.
Before we close, I wanted to discuss your cross-country bicycle trip with your husband, Bruce, benefiting “Toys for Tots.” What made you decide to take a challenge like that, supporting Toys for Tots?
What kind of preparatory training did you do in order to get ready for the physical challenges you were about to face?

Teri Brown is a self-described “Air Force Brat” now living in North Carolina. In 2020, during the height of the COVID pandemic, she and her husband, Bruce, decided to take a bike ride through the countryside one day.
When I say “countryside,” they rode their tandem bicycle from the Oregon Pacific coastline and ended at the Iwo Jima Memorial in Washington, DC, over 3100 miles! Praise God!

ENTREPASTORS Jon Sanders and Les Hughes pt 1 https://www.entrepastors.com/ ()If you’ve been listening to this program for any length of time, you know I have a heart for Christian entrepreneurs who are making a difference. A difference in the community and a difference in the Body of Christ.
Many pastors are facing financial issues, especially in this era of trying to return from the COVID lockdowns, etc. Many of these ministers are contemplating actually leaving the ministry in order to find work that will provide for their families and their future as well.
That is one of the main reasons I enjoy sharing information with you from entrepreneurs who have a heart for maintaining Christian morals and values and have that reflected in their business.
Having said that, I believe you are going to truly be blessed by our guests today. Jon Sanders and Les Hughes are the co-founders of https://www.entrepastors.com/ (“EntrePastors,”) which helps pastors to think and thrive as prosperous entrepreneurs. Through their podcasts, a membership community and mastermind groups, https://www.entrepastors.com/ (EntrePastors) provides the tools and community of support to help pastors and minsters – and others with a ministry background, achieve financial freedom and free up their time and to escape the stressful “paycheck to paycheck” life that often accompanies vocational ministry.
Jon and Less have come together to empower pastors to maximize their God-given talents and to take better care of their families and to become better pastors in the process.
Let’s jump back into the conclusion of this interview now, with Jon Sanders and Les Hughes, of https://www.entrepastors.com/ (Entre Pastors…)
Do you believe the era of “full time pastors” is coming to an end? Are things that bad out there?
If someone has been in the ministry or pastorship for, let’s say 10 or 15 years, do they have the skill sets that can be of some value in the marketplace right now?
I know you advocate diversification of income streams. Can you share with us some of the benefits, not just of pastors, but in reality, almost everyone listening to us as well?
Is it OK for a pastor to be independently wealthy and financially secure?
I’m sure some pastors are thinking something like, “If I have this extra income coming in from this outside business, and we have some type of financial need come up in the ministry and I ask people to help, they’ll feel like, “You got the money, you take care of it.”" Is this an issue with some of your clients?
What are some of the ways a pastor can launch their own business?
I think they would have to be careful of the “network marketing” activities out there. It could be seen as some type of coercion or something. Am I correct?
Let’s say a pastor or ministry professional does start their own side business – and it becomes extremely successful. Where can they go to share that win? If they start sharing their success with church members, I can see some parishioners come calling, asking for handouts and things like that. I know they would be generous with their finances – that’s just part of our value system in the ministry. But how can they celebrate their victories without it causing additional hardships and problems within the church?
Gentlemen, this has been so interesting. I love what you are doing to help full time, and part-time, ministry professionals add some additional income streams to support their families.
If someone has a question or would like to find out more information about https://www.entrepastors.com/ (“EntrePastors”) and all that you do? How can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
Folks, what you have just learned today can work for you, no matter your vocation. Yes, we have been talking about helping those in full time and part-time ministry. But if you stop and think about it, what Jon and Les have shared with us today could work for YOU, no matter your...

That is one of the main reasons I enjoy sharing information with you from entrepreneurs who have a heart for maintaining Christian morals and values and have that reflected in their business.
Having said that, I believe you are going to truly be blessed by our guests today. Jon Sanders and Les Hughes are the co-founders of https://www.entrepastors.com/ (“EntrePastors,”) which helps pastors to think and thrive as prosperous entrepreneurs. Through their podcasts, a membership community and mastermind groups, EntrePastors provides the tools and community of support to help pastors and minsters – and others with a ministry background, achieve financial freedom and free up their time and to escape the stressful “paycheck to paycheck” life that often accompanies vocational ministry.
Jon and Less have come together to empower pastors to maximize their God-given talents and to take better care of their families and to become better pastors in the process.
Help me welcome to the program, Jon Sanders and Les Hughes! Gentlemen, it is truly a pleasure to have you join us on the program today!
First question I always start with is this – and you can answer it one at a time, you choose who goes first. But can you tell us, in your own words, “Who is “Jon Sanders” and who is “Les Hughes?”
Jon, you’re from S. Dakota – and Les your’re from Alabama. How did you two get together and decide that https://www.entrepastors.com/ (“EntrePastors”) was something that you two could partner up with?
How serious is this issue of pastors and ministers actually contemplating leaving their calling in order to survive, financially, and take care of their families?
You both have pastoral backgrounds. Was this an issue that either one of you or both of you were facing at one time or another?
Do you believe the era of “full time pastors” is coming to an end? Are things that bad out there?
If someone has been in the ministry or pastorship for, let’s say 10 or 15 years, do they have the skill sets that can be of some value in the marketplace right now?
Just think of the additional ministry opportunities “if only you had the extra income.” Not only would your family be better off – but you could do those extra ministry things that will bless the Body of Christ in ways that only the Lord knows about right now – but that you’ve always wanted to do. Amen!
So, drop down below into the show notes right now and reach out to Jon and Less and click the link to check out https://www.entrepastors.com/ (“EntrePastors”) right now.

Financial and Social Destruction Tom Donnan pt 2 There is no doubt we are living in the last of the last days. Everything around us is falling apart. The economy, the supply chain, oil and gas supplies – even society is falling apart faster than anyone could predict. Our government is broken, our leaders are imbeciles and traitors. Our churches are broken and weak. The ONLY thing left is God.
And, for the most part, Americans have forsaken Him, too.
That is the outlook for this nation and the world right now. Wars and rumors of wars. Famine, pestilences and diseases, hyper-inflation, crime out of control, murder rates rising. More and more mass shootings. And all of that is the “good news.”
It is getting worse day by day – and I thank God for it! Amen!
Brother Bob! How can you say you thank God for all of this bad new?
Simple, because His Word tells us it is going to be just like this immediately before the return of Jesus! Praise God! THAT – IS GOOD NEWS! At least for believers! Amen!
Matthew 13 verses 16-17 and Luke 10 verses 23-24 tell us what Jesus informed His disciples of – and, since we are His disciples also, He is speaking to us. He said, “Blessed are YOUR EYES because the see and YOUR EARS for they hear. For I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things that you see but did not see and to hear the things that you hear but did not hear it.”
Folks, the culmination of the ages is about to happen right before our very eyes! For believers, we also have the promise to escape the worst part of it! Praise God!
I’m not going to take the time to teach on this because that’s not the purpose of todays program. But you can do your own studies of 1 Thessalonians 4:17 and then Revelation chapters 1-3 that talk about the church – and then it’s not mentioned again as the Tribulation on folds – especially after John is told to “come up here.”
But, again, that’s not the point of today’s program.
Today is part two of another great interview, with Tom Donnan, who is back to share some warnings about things happening right now as he was shown by the Holy Spirit. These are not good messages for anyone who is an unbeliever. Unless they get born again prior to the triggering event, whatever that may be. Amen! You recently took a trip and the Lord was showing you some things as you were traveling, correct? Share those things with us…
Missouri – strong occult presence combating the church and the people…
Texas – a literal dream? Plans that Iran has to assassinate President Trump? I’ve seen the reports where some Iraqi’s were planning on assassinating President Bush… What did the Lord show you about this?
New Mexico – a two God system. The Christian God and the ancestorial fathers of the native American Indians as they struggle understanding which God to follow…
Arizona – you say this state is a bit different and that there is a move of God happening there?
But there are some issues…
The Grand Canyon/Government Land
1 a huge warehouse controlled by corrupt people, not the owners.
2 National Divorce. The rightful leader returns to restore it to the way it was.
And tell us about Colorado… I used to love this state. But it’s got some huge spiritual problems right now…
this State has made unbiblical choices. Durango, during the night I entered intercession against demonic control.
There is obvious gender confusion in the State and it’s encouraged.
Folks, there can be no doubt in the mind of any believer that the end is very, very near. Only a fool would continue to say that “all is well,” like our government officials try to tell us. If this nation refuses to repent; if this nation continues to follow the ungodly paths it has been on – this nation can be written off in one day, if the Lord wills.
There is no guarantee for next year. There is no guarantee for tomorrow. The only guarantee we have is death, and then the Judgement....

Help me welcome back to the program, our good friend, Tom Donnan!
Tom, thank you for joining us again today. I’ve been looking forward to our conversation today and I know our listeners will get a lot out of this, if they are paying attention to what is happening every single night on the news. Amen!
You shared with me that the next shock wave that is about to hit humanity is going to come in three different waves. Let’s take them one at a time and go through them.
What is shock wave number one?
So, we see the financial shock wave hitting right now. This government has just flooded the economy with cash that has no backing to it at all. It literally is dropping the value of the dollar. Which means it takes MORE dollars to purchase things – which is called INFLATION. And that is happening as we speak.
What is shock wave number two?
I’ve seen reports that companies are moving into neighborhoods and offering two and three times the value of house in some areas, just out bidding any offers on homes for sale. They then intend to rent these home out. Which means the American dream of actually owning your own home is soon going to be a thing of the past. Nobody will be able to afford to out bid these corporations.
And what is shock wave number three?
We’ve discussed the increase in earthquakes all over the world, but especially in this nation. In areas where we traditionally have not seen earthquakes.
I continue to hear rumors about the rumblings under Yellowstone National Park, they are increasing in numbers not seen before. If that super volcano blows, it will destroy 1/3 of the nation and whatever is left of the agriculture in this land. We will...
Communicating Like a Rock Star Brenden Kumarasamy pt 2
Everyone has a story to tell. Think about it. At work, you tell stories to make a point. At home, you tell stories to make a point. At church, your pastor tells stories to make a point. Jesus told stories to make a point.
But, few people master the art of storytelling. After our program today, you will be able to take great forward strides, because my guest today helps people to do just that.
Many people struggle with the idea of speaking from a stage or on video. They worry about how they will look, how they will sound, what can they talk about?
Brenden Kumarasamy is the founder of “MasterTalk,” a YouTube series dedicated to the art of public speaking. Brenden believes anyone can become confident public speakers and storytellers. Breneden is also the founder of http://rockstarcommunicator.com/ (“RockStarCommunicator.com”) From students to CEO’s Brenden teaches you how to master your speeches, presentations and interview and podcasts, etc.
One of your videos talks about “the endless gaze.” I have learned how to use pauses for effect in speaking – but the “endless gaze” is priceless. Can you explain that for our listeners and how to use it in a presentation?
How does the “endless gaze” and the “random word exercise” help if someone is introverted and trying to enter the public speaking arena?
How do we master the art of speaking on camera effectively? Some people find it difficult to talk into a cold, dark camera lens…
What about the use of scripts? Should someone use scripts when making video presentations or a video recording?
Brenden, this has been so interesting, as it always is when you are on. I think this next question is fitting for a closing question. How can we actually give a great close to OUR presentations? I’ve seen a great many presentations actually fall flat because of a poor close. How you teach your clients to do a great close?
Tell us about your training program on your website, http://rockstarcommunicator.com/ (rockstarcommunicator.com)…
All of your YouTube videos are under the title of “MasterTalk,” correct?
Brenden you are one my favorite guests to have on the program. You always bring such clarity to the, sometimes, confusing world of public speaking.
If someone has a question or wants to get in touch with you, maybe to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
Folks, whether you realize it or not, you are already a public speaker. It may be at work and you are trying to communicate an idea to your boss or co-workers. You may be the boss and you are trying to communicate an idea to your subordinates or possibly your boss. Either way, you are trying to influence someone.
You could be in the ministry trying to influence someone to make a decision for Christ...
You could be in business and trying to influence someone that your products or services are the one that will help your customers the most...
It does not just apply to speaking from stages. It is applicable in almost every aspect of life. Amen!
Brenden Kumarasamy is THE expert in this area. I’ve been following him for almost three years now. He has helped me immensely – just from his YouTube videos! Amen!
Just drop down below and click the links right there to get in touch with Brenden Kumarasamy right now. And subscribing to his YouTube channel, “MasterTalk” is an absolute must – at a minimum. It will be the best thing you’ve subscribed to on YouTube in a long time – I guarantee it. Amen!

Brenden was on our program back in 2020 and he is blessing us with coming back on today to catch up and bless those who may have missed our prior interview with his skill and wisdom. Amen!
Help me welcome back to the program, Brenden Kumarasamy.
Brenden, thank you for coming back on the program! I do appreciate it!
Brenden, for those that may have not heard our interview from a few years back, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Brenden Kumarasamy?”
Tell us about your YouTube program, “MasterTalk…”
Where did the idea for “MasterTalk” come from?
How many individual episodes have you created? Do you know?
What is the biggest challenge that most people struggle with when doing public speaking?
We’ve all heard about starting off with a joke or a funny story when giving a talk. Is that something you recommend?
You’ve got a program where you discuss the importance of the first 10 seconds of your presentation. Can you explain the importance of those 10 seconds for us?
The last time we talked, the COVID lockdowns were in full force. This meant everything moved from in person to virtual events and you were helping us understand a few steps to help with that transition.
Has things opened back up for in person events or are we still mainly dealing with virtual speaking right now?
What do you believe the next six months to a year will hold for public speaking opportunities?
In our presentations, is the delivery or the content more important to focus on?
What about books? What books do you recommend some read for help in public speaking?
Another area that jumped out at me was your use of a “random word exercise.” Can you explain how that works and give us an example?
You have a phrase, “Prioritize to maximize.” Can you explain that for us?
One of your videos talks about “the endless gaze.” I have learned how to use pauses for effect in speaking – but the “endless gaze” is priceless. Can you explain that for our listeners and how to use it in a presentation?

The Story of Rachel’s Song Dave Combs pt 3 https://amzn.to/3bi6kBr ()Dave Combs is the composer of a famous song that has been played at weddings, in hospitals, on numerous radio stations and by millions of people just to relax with.

Folks, even King David knew the benefits of music. Many of the Psalms were originally written as music, way before they were included in the Bible.

How were you able to get it played by radio stations? That’s usually a difficult thing for new recording artists to do…mailing out hundreds of tapes across the country, etc.
When you first attempted to put your recordings into Christian stores, that did not turn out that well. Can you tell us the story of how you discovered your own market that ended up taking your music nationwide?

Listen Sister! – Finding Hope in the Freakshow of Life Tess Scott pt 2 https://amzn.to/3MyjBmQ ()
I was raised in Michigan, and my grandparents lived on the St. Clair River. Sometimes we would grab innertubes and they would take us several miles up the river and let us float down and across the mile wide river to Canada. Then we would catch the Ferry back (which just happened to be next door to my grandparents house)!
The reason I’m sharing this little tid-bit of my history with you, is because our guest today lived something of the same life – and, she is actually from the city just across the river, where we would catch the Ferry home! Sarnia, Ontario!
Tess Scott is the founder of a great ministry called, “Listen, Sister! Encouragement Ministry” and the author of an absolutely fabulous book titled, you guessed it, https://amzn.to/3MyjBmQ (“Listen, Sister! Finding Hope in the Freakshow of Life!”) It is a collection of short, funny stories pointing out how God works in the chaos of life. I’ve read it and, I’m telling you – it is hilarious!
Other than making Brother Bob laugh, what is the Mission behind your https://amzn.to/3MyjBmQ (book) and ministry?
I also had a good laugh at your “hair clip” calamity! Care to share about episode?
One of my favorite foods is Lasagna. You have a pretty good memory in your https://amzn.to/3MyjBmQ (book) about cooking lasagna. Can you share that with us?
Tess, what was the hardest thing that has happened to you and what did you learn from it?
What does your son’s and husband have to say about reminiscing so publicly about some of their, let’s say, “misadventures” that you document in the https://amzn.to/3MyjBmQ (book)?
Tess, this is so good. How can someone obtain their own copy of your book, https://amzn.to/3MyjBmQ (“Listen Sister! Finding Hope in the Freakshow of Life?”)
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or possibly to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of you ordering your own copy of Tess Scott’s book, https://amzn.to/3MyjBmQ (“Listen Sister! Finding Hope in the Freakshow of Life.” ) This book is medicine for your soul! Proverbs 17:22 says that “A merry heart does good like a medicine…” It’s been proven by scientific research that laughter decreases stress and increase immunity and infection fighting antibodies. In this time of COVID and turmoil in the world, you need a good laugh! And Tess Scott’s book will help you to do so.
Wouldn’t be great if just ordering her book, https://amzn.to/3MyjBmQ (“Listen Sister! Finding Hope in the Freakshow of Life”) is what protected you from COVID! Remember, “All things are possible with God” and “God works in mysterious ways!” Who’s to say? Amen!
So drop down into the show notes and click the link right there. Order your copy today. In fact, order two three or more copies and brighten up someone else’s day, too! Praise God!

Listen Sister! – Finding Hope in the Freakshow of Life Tess Scott pt 1 https://amzn.to/3MyjBmQ ()I grew up outside of little town in Michigan called Marysville. This town, at the time, had about 4000 people in it. Our entire high school consisted of 713 people, all four grades.
Our house was out in the country. There was a good ¼ mile between neighbors, except my great-grandmother and two uncles families that lived a couple hundred yards away.
I spent many a day playing with my cousins. Since I was the oldest, playing with these “little kids” soon became boring and I learned how to entertain myself, playing out in the woods and things like that. I could even play an entire 9 inning baseball game, by myself, playing both sides – and sometimes lose to the “other me!”
Anyway, my grandparents lived on the St. Clair River. Sometimes we would grab innertubes and they would take us several miles up the river and let us float down and across the mile wide river to Canada. Then we would catch the Ferry back (which just happened to be next door to my grandparents house)!

Help me welcome to the program, all the way from Blue Water Country, Tess Scott! Tess, thank you joining us today!
Now, let me do a quick disclaimer here before we get started. We are not doing this on purpose, it’s just the way we were raised. But whenever two red-blooded Canadian backgrounded people get together, you are probably going to hear a few “eh’s” flying around! Ok! It’s kind of like the “y’all’s” when people from down south are talking. It’s just part of the normal conversation, ‘eh!”
Tess, usually the first question I start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Tess Scott?”
How did you come up with the idea for this https://amzn.to/3MyjBmQ (book)? It’s definitely, I’ll say, “Hilariously different!”
Why this type of https://amzn.to/3MyjBmQ (book) for this point in your life?
I wish I could quiz you on every single story in your https://amzn.to/3MyjBmQ (book). I just laughed all the way through!
One story from your https://amzn.to/3MyjBmQ (book) where I really laughed at, and it was probably because of my law enforcement back ground, was where your brother came to visit, unannounced. Can you share that with our listeners?
Another story that caught my attention, since I’m also a private pilot, was when your father promised to teach you how to be a pilot. Care to share?
The stories of your father having you invite your friends of for a “Rock Party” and things like that, they reminded me of some the things I used to pull on my daughters when they were growing up! They’re priceless!

Creating S.P.A.C.E. in Our Families Russell De Vos pt 2 https://catalystcoachinghq.com/ ()In society today, we often find ourselves being pulled in so many different directions, we don’t really know which way is the right way.

Most men want to make a difference with their lives...they want to make an impact...leave a legacy...contribute to making the world better. But...men are failing...in their inner lives...jumping right past their spiritual, personal, marital and familial relationships directly to their work lives...mainly because their work is where they have their identity, the one area where they get the most affirmation for their contributions.
If that sounds like you… if you keep telling yourself that you need to prioritize better. If you know, deep down on the inside, that you are letting your relationship with God slip… If you are feeling sense of guilt or regret because you are so busy and tired all of the time and the most precious things in life, your family and your relationship with God, is being put on the back burner… if any of this sounds even remotely familiar…then you will want to pay attention today!
Today, we will be talking with Russel De Voss about “SPACE” (not the final frontier kind)!
Russel De Vos has been on our program before. He shared how he grew his church in Bend, Oregon from just a handful of people to over 1500 in only three years! Praise God! But, the pressures of the job and some other things led his eventual defeat. Not focusing on God, not focusing on his family, cost him the church and almost his family.
Since that time, he and his wife, Heather, have worked through the trying times and are now happier than ever. They serve together and are now helping others who are going the same troubles and helping them to overcome through the blood of the Lamb and their testimony. Praise God.
He and his wife work with parents who usually have teenage sons that are typically in trouble. Trouble with the law, on drugs, etc., many who may have been sent to boarding schools and “teen challenge” programs.
Russell also is a broadcaster on our radio station, Evangelism Radio, every single day of the week, from 12 noon to 1pm ET at http://www.evangelismradio.com/ (www.evangelismradio.com). “Evangelism Radio,”
Russel is a Certified Life Coach, a teacher and speaker with the John Maxwell Team and the Institute for Professional Coaching and is the founder of the Catalyst Coaching Program.
Explain the story of S.P.A.C.E. What is this about and how did it come to be?
What does S.P.A.C.E. stand for?
S = Step back or Slow down
P = Presume noble intent
A = Ask clarifying questions
C = Curiosity nor condemnation in asking questions
E = Extend advice only IF asked for (no lecturing)
This isn’t one of those “Dr. Spock” types of things is it?
Your ministry is mainly with the dads. What do you help them with?
S.P.A.C.E. will help men to actually talk with (and not talk at or talk to) their children?
Russell, this is all so interesting. How can our listeners find out more information or to get in touch with you if they would like you to come out and teach a seminar, retreat, etc.? How can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this down in the show notes below.
Folks, all you have to do is walk outside your house and observe what is happening in our culture and in our society today. We can see the decay. We can see (and hear about) the violence ravaging our cities, this nation – and even the world today.
It is a breath of fresh air to hear about a program that is having the success like Russell De Vos’ program, “S.P.A.C.E.” as well as his “Catalyst Coaching Program.” You definitely need to click the links below and reach out to Russell today. Especially if you are a parent of teen boys. Praise God, Russell...

Help me welcome back to the program, Russell De Vos! Praise God for you brother! Thank you for coming back on and catching us up on all that the Lord has been doing in your life and ministry! I appreciate it!
For those that may not have heard our prior interview over a year ago, tell us in your own words, “Who is Russell De Vos?”
You teach about how to deal with anger management and what you learned about dark thought patterns projected on others. With you, it was towards your wife and kids. Can you tell us about this and what you learned?
A lot of parents have resorted to nagging and complaining about their kids in order to try and get them to behave a certain way. But you have developed a program that will guide parents to try a little different approach, called “S.P.A.C.E.”
Explain the story of S.P.A.C.E. What is this about and how did it come to be?
Folks, all you have to do is walk outside your house and observe what is happening in our culture and in our society today. We can see the decay. We can see (and hear about) the violence ravaging our cities, this nation – and even the world today.
Go down into the show notes and reach out to Russel today. You owe it to yourself and your family to at least check out this program. If you fail to prepare now, you have failed your family. And that is something you do not want to do. Amen!...
Where Crisis and Christ Collide Jennifer Sienes Is it possible for God to take our “mess” and turn it into a message? I would have to say, “Absolutely! That’s my life story!” Amen!
So many people today are having issues. Issues in life. Issues in their family. Issues in business. Sometimes it can get hectic and seem out of our control.
But if we are honest, the Lord is still speaking to us. He is urging us to “turn it over to Him.” He can handle it, I guarantee it.
But there are some that can put these events, these emotions and these feelings into stories. Stories that rivet us to the character and allow us to see things through the eyes of another. By doing so, the allow the Lord to reach a part of our soul that can then shed some light on our issues.
This is what our guest today has been able to accomplish with her writings. Jennifer Sienes was born to write. But she put it off. For years. She became a teacher and enjoyed that work, but the love and calling of writing never left her.
When her daughter suffered a terrible accident that caused her to go through months of rehab due to a traumatic brain injury, her marriage falling apart and several other personal tragedies, she began writing.
Today, she is the author of several contemporary women’s fiction and romance books, but has now transitioned into romantic suspense novels. Through her tragedies, God has given her a gift that allows her to develop her characters and write with emotion that bridges the gap between the written page and the readers heart.
Help me welcome to the program, Jennifer Sienes!
Jennifer, thank you for taking the time out of your schedule to come visit with us today!
First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Jennifer Sienes?”
You were called to write for many years before you actually took the plunge. You became a wife, mother, teacher – why didn’t you pursue writing even on a part time basis back then?
Your daughters accident, you say, was basically your wake-up call to finally pursue writing.
What is the book, https://amzn.to/3tno6Jq (“Illusions”) about?
Tell us about your book, https://amzn.to/3aQmmSM (“Providence…”)
Your first series was “Apple Hill.” Correct me if I’m wrong, but these books were contemporary women’s fiction and romance. But now, you are transitioning into “romantic suspense” novels? Why the change?
You use your life experiences to create you books and characters. Can you explain a little of how that works and some examples?
Who is “Tess O’Shay?”
You’re a believer. You love the Lord. How does that message come through your work as a writer?
What are some of the take-aways you want you want your readers to gain by reading your books?
I believe the series you are currently working on is “Bedford County.” In fact, you published the first book in that series https://amzn.to/3O8e7Qt ((Night Songs)). Can you explain the background for the series, “Bedford County?”
What does the future hold for your writing?
As I was preparing for this interview, there was one thing I found that I just had to ask you about. I need to know about the inspiration you receive from Gracie and Einstein?
Jennifer, this has been so interesting. To hear the inspiration and back story to some of your works. How can someone order your books? Are they on Amazon?
If someone has a question or would like to get in touch with you, maybe to do an interview like this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of that down in the show notes below.
Folks, sometimes we need to let our imaginations take over in order to guide us through the daily turmoil in our lives. Jennifer Sienes books help you to do just that, but also keeps the core message relevant throughout the books. I urge you to drop down into the show notes below and order some of her books right now. Order the entire series
The Mother of Normandy Doug Stebleton pt 2 http://www.motherofnormandy.com/ ()June 6, 1944. Commonly referred to as D-Day – the Normandy Invasion. Every year, more and more of the heroes of that day are passing away. Soon, there will be none. When that day comes, a page will turn in the history books.
But to capture the heart and soul of that day, to keep it forever in the forefront of our memories, became a passion of our guest today. Doug Stebleton decided it was time for the world to know some of the people that turned survival into victory. That turned their fears into courage. That turned the sorrow of over 5,000 dead and buried in one small town into a life-long ministry of compassion and to tell the story of many stories, all in order to honor those who gave their all to keep the world free.
Doug Stebleton has been working in the entertainment business since 1987. Born and raised in Glasgow, Montana, he came to Hollywood at age 19 and has lived and worked in southern California since then. His expertise is music publishing for film and television. His company owns a catalog of songs that are licensed to film and television studios and to independent productions.
Doug is not only a film producer, but an author as well. But it is his love of history that drives him to make films and documentaries that are inspiring, informative and educational – all at the same time. His love and passion for history led Doug to create and produce the film, http://www.motherofnormandy.com/ (“The Mother of Normandy,”) which he has turned into a hard cover book and, recently, an e-book! Praise God!
Doug shares how the cemeteries in this town came to be and how the “mayor” of the town started to receive letters from American families wanting information on their fallen soldiers…
Simone Renaud became famous when a photograph of her in “Life Magazine” showed her putting flowers on the grave of Brig. General Teddy Roosevelt, Jr. How did her life change after that was published?
In the book, is it Maurice took over staying in contact with relatives of GI’s and things like that after his mother passed away?
As the soldiers and families of that era pass away, has he noticed a falling off of interest in visitors and inquiries?
There was a US Paratrooper that landed on the church steeple in Sainte Mere Eglise, and that Mayor Alexander Renaud and his son stayed at his house when they visited the United States. I bet that was a great reunion. Amen!
How did the making of your film and the research for the book affect your perspective of D-Day?
Doug, as June 6th is now upon us again, I believe there is a renewed interest, I pray there is a renewed interest, in learning the behind the scenes activities of the heroes and heroines that supported the liberation of France, Europe and ultimately the defeat of Nazi Germany.
How has your film been received?
I know, when I was a Cavalry Officer, I studied military history – and that has continued to this day. Especially World War II history. I also believe if we do not learn for the lessons of history then we are doomed to repeat history.
In that light, how can someone watch your video and purchase your book on http://www.motherofnormandy.com/ (“The Mother of Normandy?”)

The film and book we are talking about is called, http://www.motherofnormandy.com/ (“The Mother of Normandy,”) which details the life of one woman, Simone Renaud, who lived through the German occupation and witnessed the 82nd Airborne and 101st Airborne Divisions parachuting into their town, Sainte Mere Eglise. What initially led you to start researching her and ultimately, creating a documentary honoring her?
Her town was the first town liberated by the Allied Invasion. So they were taken by surprise by the invasion, like the Germans?

How to Write and Publish a Book Joseph M. Lenard pt 2 http://terrorstrikes.info/ ()If you listened to our interview as we discussed Joseph’s book, https://amzn.to/3zasYFP (“Terror Strikes: Coming Soon to a City Near You,”) you heard me ask him to come back on the podcast and discuss the pro’s-con’s and details of self-publishing.
I know many of our listeners have a book inside them and the Lord has put it on your hearts to write that book, but you’re not sure of how to go about it. You’re not sure of the publishing options. You’re not sure if you should hire an editor. You’re not sure of a lot of things.
Joseph M. Lenard has come back on our program to help you in this area. Today is part two of our great interview on how you can become a published author...
How do you approach a publisher? Do you mail out 1000 manuscripts and hope for the best? That’s what we’ve heard for many years…
Self-publishing sounds like the best option for new writers just starting out.
Do we need a website for our book? Or can our personal website work and we just put a page up referencing the book?
What about book signings and things like that for promotions? What is the best way to get these access to book signings?
Do you need a publicist? What is the difference between a publicist and a publisher?
Now, the most important part, do you become rich by publishing a book?
Joseph, this has been a very informative interview! I appreciate you pulling back the curtain and giving our listeners a first-hand look inside the book writing and publishing industry.
I want to direct our listeners that may not have heard our interview about your book, https://amzn.to/3zasYFP (“Terror Strikes: Coming Soon to a City Near You,”) to use the link below to order your book and to use the links to listen to your interview where we discussed your book in detail.
If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or maybe do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
Folks, that book the Lord has put on your heart is closer than you may realize. You have to take the first step. I pray that the information Joseph M. Lenard has shared has spurred your though processes to the point that you are now willing to obey the Lord and get this book written, published and distributed to the world. Amen!

Joseph, thank you for taking the time to come back on and share this valuable information with our listeners today. I appreciate your time.
First up, let’s discuss writing the book, then we can get into the publishing aspect.
We see movies and such where a writer goes off to a mountain cabin for six months or a year as a recluse and re-emerges with a best-selling novel. Or they go on a cruise for six months and come back with a book. Is that realistic and is that what you did?
Do you do one chapter per day? One page per day? Is there a set amount?
What about character development? In your book, https://amzn.to/3zasYFP (“Terror Strikes,”) your character is Martin, a Detroit newspaper reporter. How long did it take for you to develop that character?
Is there a set writing style for different genres? Fiction, religion, novels, etc.?
Tell us about your writing style and how it came about and how you developed it…
So you write your chapters and finally, it’s finished. Or is it? Once you have the first draft completed, do you turn it over to an editor or do you begin to self-edit first?
Can’t we just set it aside for a couple of days or weeks and then go back and edit ourself again?
How many edits do you usually go through before deciding to turn it over to someone else?
At what point do you begin to look for a publisher?
What are the different publishing options?
Folks, that book the Lord has put on your heart is closer than you may realize. You have to take the first step. I pray that the information Joseph M. Lenard has shared has spurred your though processes to the point that you are now willing to obey the Lord and get this book written, published and distributed to the world. Amen!

Terror Strikes Joseph M. Lenard pt 2 http://terrorstrikes.info/ ()Ever since 911, terrorism has been on the minds of Americans, off and on but never consistently. Proof, let just say, “Oklahoma City Bombing” and, for those old enough to remember, it just sparked a memory. Or “Waco Massacre” and you can visualize the live newscasts. There are others.
Since COVID started, there has not been much coverage of “terrorism” or “terrorist threats.” It seems as if the media grew tired of covering these things and would much rather dwell on lockdowns and things like that.
Many Americans also feel as if this nation is somehow immune to major attacks. But that is not the case. Not at all.
To help illustrate that point and to bring this awareness to the forefront again, my guest today has written a book titled, https://amzn.to/3zasYFP (“Terror Strikes: Coming Soon to a City Near You.”)
Joseph M. Lenard a Christian author with a very non-traditional Christian book, published by Illumify Media. Joseph hails from Michigan (which is where I was born and raised) and has been involved in Michigan politics and activism since 1978.
Today is part two of a great two part interview! How does social media contribute to the spread of terrorism?
You discuss something about Hell in your book. But it’s not the “hell” that most people are thinking of. I laugh at this because I know what you are about to tell us. But go ahead and pop this one on our listeners…
In Michigan, we have a great comeback for when people tell us to “Go to hell.” We just say, "I’ve been there and they kicked me out. What’s your excuse?” Or, “Been there and got the T-shirt.” Because that’s what we do. Amen!
As we get ready to close, I just have to ask you this. Growing up in Michigan, everyone plays hockey. I don’t know about anymore, but back when we were growing up, that was how it was. You have a great story about one of the greatest hockey players ever, #9 on the Detroit Red Wings, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordie_Howe (Gordie Howe.) Can you tell us about that?
Joseph, this has been all so interesting. How can someone obtain a copy of your bookhttps://amzn.to/3zasYFP (, “Terror Strikes: Coming Soon to a City Near You?”) Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to get more information, maybe to ask a question or possibly do an interview such as this, how can they get in touch with you?
Folks, as Joseph Lenard has stated, terrorism has not gone away just because the COVID virus shut things down. The news just took it off the headlines. The problem is still there. They are still coming for us. You need to get your own copy of Joseph Lenards book, https://amzn.to/3zasYFP (“Terror Strikes: Coming Soon to a City Near You.”) Go down into the show notes and get your copy today.
Folks, that is all the time we have for today. Be sure to drop down into the show notes and purchase Joseph Lenard’s great book, https://amzn.to/3zasYFP (“Terror Strikes: Coming Soon to a City Near You.”)

The first question I always ask is, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Joseph M. Lenard?”
You’re from Wyandotte, Michigan. I know right where that is at. I’m from Marysville, just up the coast of the thumb about 50 miles, just south of Port Huron.
You’ve written other books in the past. What makes this book so special and why did you believe this is the right time to release https://amzn.to/3zasYFP (“Terror Strikes?”)
Your book is not just about terrorism, is it?
With “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness,” basically, this is a book for any red blooded American that still loves this country, correct?
You mentioned the media has shied away from covering anything related to terrorist activity in the United States. Why do you believe they are not covering this anymore?
Do you believe it has something to do with what we see happening (or not happening) down at our southern border with Mexico? And the politics involved with that?
You state there was one recent exception to that lack of coverage. Tell us about that one instance (and then what happened)…
Who is the target audience that you wrote this book for?
You discuss the Torah, the Koran and the Bible in your book, correct? How do you present these three different views in your book?
What does the term “GIJIAS” mean in your book? (Global Islamic Jihadists Interim Army Soldiers).
You say that this is a “book within a book.” Can you explain what that means and how it was used in your book, https://amzn.to/3zasYFP (“Terror Strikes?”)
In your research for the book, who did you discover is mainly financing these terrorist activities?

The International Pain Foundation Barby Ingle pt 2
I have a very important topic for you today…and one that is very near and close to my heart…one which affects me as well as millions of people each and every day – and that is how to cope with chronic pain…be it from injury, as in my case, or from hereditary diseases or any number of a myriad of causes…one which many people have a hard time understanding – even very close family members…
On the line with us today is Barby Ingle from http://www.internationalpain.org/ (the International Pain Foundation)…Barby is a former model and professional cheerleader. She seemed to have it all. And then things changed. Her life become totally focused on survival. Chronic pain ravaged her body. Doctors had no clue as to why.
They stuck, prodded, probed and examined numerous times. All sorts of test (and can I relate to that). Then, one day, Barby decided enough was enough and SHE became her own “Chief of Staff” for her medical team. And I will let her explain that as we get into the interview.
Barby has been on our program a few times in the past and the information she shares blessed so many of our listeners, I’m sure it will do the same today as well. She is also the author of several books dealing with this issue, such as https://amzn.to/3spAEiY (“From Wheels to Heals,”) which is the first one I read, getting ready for our first interview back in 2018! Praise God!
This is part two of what turned out to be a great, two part interview!
Your foundation helps people from all over the world find support services and resources to help their conditions. Can you go over a few of the most popular services?
This next topic is a big one.
What about managing pain killers? I know the laws and medical practices concerning prescription pain killers have changed since the last time we talked. Is it still a major issue?
Pastor Bob shares about kicking his addiction to pain killers after talking with Barby Ingle and reading information from thehttp://www.internationalpain.org/ ( International Pain Foundation website…)
This is the type of situation where your foundation could provide the resources to help someone in a situation similar to what I went through (and, I was reading articles, etc. from your website while going this ordeal myself).
Barby, you’ve outlined a lot of this in your book, https://amzn.to/3spAEiY (“From Wheels to Heals,”) correct?
Pastor Bob shares on how he continued to be the “Chief Medical Officer of his own body.”
Barby, it’s amazing what you can do when you make up your own mind, put your foot down and tell the doctor that “this is the way it is going to be.”
Barby, if something we said sparked a word of enlightenment to one of our listeners and they had an “ah-ha” moment saying, “That’s just like me!” How can they get in touch with thehttp://www.internationalpain.org/ (International Pain Foundation?)
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, maybe to ask a question or do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
Folks, pain is real. Pain is, well, painful. Some people do well bearing with pain. Some pain is the result of an injury and can be fixed. But there are times when pain is present and nobody knows why.
We are talking about physical pain here. But that physical pain can definitely become psychological pain very quickly. You cannot deal with this yourself.
http://www.internationalpain.org/ (International Pain Foundation) is here to help you. They will provide you with the resources to learn more about your conditions. They will provide you with the resources to get help. They will provide you with the resources to find someone you can talk with. They are here for you.
Barby Ingle founded this great organization because these resources were not in one centralized...

I have a very important topic for you today…and one that is very near and close to my heart…one which affects me as well as millions of people each and every day – and that is how to cope with chronic pain…be it from injury, as in my case, or from hereditary diseases or any number of a myriad of causes…one which many people have a hard time understanding – even very close family members…
On the line with us today is Barby Ingle from http://www.internationalpain.org/ (the International Pain Foundation)…Barby is a former model and professional cheerleader. She seemed to have it all. And then things changed. Her life become totally focused on survival. Chronic pain ravaged her body. Doctors had no clue as to why.
They stuck, prodded, probed and examined numerous times. All sorts of test (and can I relate to that). Then, one day, Barby decided enough was enough and SHE became her own “Chief of Staff” for her medical team. And I will let her explain that as we get into the interview.
Barby has been on our program a few times in the past and the information she shares blessed so many of our listeners, I’m sure it will do the same today as well. She is also the author of several books dealing with this issue, such as https://amzn.to/3spAEiY (“From Wheels to Heals,”) which is the first one I read, getting ready for our first interview back in 2018! Praise God!
Help we welcome back to the program, Barby Ingle!
Barby, thank you for taking the time to come back on the program today! It’s been what, three or four years since your last interview?
Our podcast listening audience has grown exponentially since the last time you were on. For those that may not know about you or your organization, http://www.internationalpain.org/ (The International Pain Foundation), tell us in your own words, “Who is Barby Ingle?”
I want to back track to when you became the “Chief of Staff” of your own medical team. Can you share with us what this phrase means and how someone can implement it?
Didn’t the doctors tell you something like, “Stop reading all that other stuff and just listen to me?”
For privacy reasons, you don’t have to go into detail, but how are you doing? Are you still having some issues with your pain and your health?
I’m sure your situation was much worse than mine. But I said all of that, one, just to catch you up. But two, to demonstrate to our listeners that you are not in this alone.
Only YOU can decide when “enough is enough.” There is a reason doctors have a “medical practice.”
Barby, how should a person react when they get the “look” from a physician, like they really don’t believe them concerning the pain they are experiencing? They think we are hypochondriacs or something?
Tell us about the http://www.internationalpain.org/ (International Pain Foundation…)
Folks, pain is real. Pain is, well, painful. Some people do well bearing with pain. Some pain is the result of an injury and can be fixed. But there are times when pain is present and nobody knows why.
We are talking about physical pain here. But that physical pain can definitely become psychological pain very quickly. You cannot deal with this yourself.
http://www.internationalpain.org/ (International Pain Foundation) is here to help you. They will provide you with the resources to learn more about your conditions. They will provide you with the resources to get help. They will provide you with the resources to find someone you can talk with. They are here for you.

The Winning Edge Shawn Harper In life, we often face difficulties and adversities. Often, these things make us better. We learn from our mistakes. For some, they view life as being “out to get them.” The perspective you take concerning adversity will determine if you are a winner or a loser in the game of life.
Our guest today knows what it is like to face adversity. He grew up with adversity. He struggled through adversity. But today, Shawn Harper is widely known for his unconventional ways, as his life journey dictates, step by step, how he overcame so much persecution and obstacles, that society said he would never amount to anything. But, against all odds, he proved them all wrong. He from the playing the bench for an entire year in junior college, to playing seven years in the National Football League for the LA Rams, the Houston Oilers and the Indianapolis Colts.
Shawn is the author of https://www.shawnharper.org/products/ (“The Winning Edge.”) Shawn is also an investor, CEO and founder of American Services and Protection in Columbus, Ohio, and Bridge Builders International. He serves on the board of King’s Ransom Foundation. Shawn is actively involved in his church and is a loving husband, father and family man.
Help me welcome to the program, NFL great, Shawn Harper! Shawn, it is an honor and privilege to have you on the program today!
The first question I always start with is this. Can you tell us in your own words, who is “Aaron Shawn Harper?
When did you drop the “Aaron” and start going simply by “Shawn?”
You teach people about winning. What is the secret to winning that most people never grasp without someone, such as yourself, showing them this secret?
My background in the Army, I did 12 years in the Cavalry and was also a drill sergeant, drill instructor. I know that you must train in the same environment and same intensity as you are going to fight. That is what makes us successful.
You obviously did these things in football. When was “that moment” when you realized you could enjoy enduring the pain for the rewards of success in football?
The gifts of God are supposed to flow THROUGH us and not just TO US. How do you help people to understand this concept in your coaching?
You said, “Winners do what others won’t do and winners do what others are not willing to do.” How has this type of attitude helped you in setting up your coaching business and how has this helped you to motivate your students to achieve success?
In your NFL career, when did you come to decision to prepare a business for AFTER the NFL?
When you decided to pursue the next level, did you hire a coach that could guide you towards your goals? Be it to the NFL and especially your business life after the NFL?
How do you utilize, what you call, “leverage?” Explain what that term means and how you help others to “leverage” their way to success…
You also discuss the habits elite level athletes use to win in business and life. Can you share a bit about those habits?
Tell us about your book, https://www.shawnharper.org/products/ (“The Winning Edge.)” How can someone get a copy of your book, “The Winning Edge?”
Shawn, I do appreciate your time to visit with us today.
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question, invite you to come out and speak at their church or event, or possibly to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? What’s the best way to get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this down below in the show notes.
Folks, in the brief interview with former NFL great, Shawn Harper, now a successful business owner, speaker and coach, you’ve heard some things that I believe will help you to achieve the success you were destined and created for. I urge you to go down into the show notes and reach out to Shawn. Be sure to grab his book as he is offering to YOU, right now, for free on his website! Praise God!

WHY MEN STRUGGLE TO LOVE DR. EDDIE CAPPARUCCI PT 2 Dr. Eddie Capparucci is a licensed professional counselor and certified coach. He also is certified in the treatment of Problematic Sexual Behaviors and is the creator of the Inner Child Model for the treatment of sexual and pornography addiction. Among his many clients, Dr. Capparucci has worked with professional athletes including NFL and MLB players and television personalities.
He serves as the clinical director for the National Decency Coalition, an organization working with state governments to help limit the access of pornography to minors. His ministry is “Abundant Life Counseling” located in Highlands, NC.
He is the author of several books, including https://amzn.to/3MyALRd (“Going Deeper: How the Inner Child Impacts Your Sexual Addiction;”)https://amzn.to/3MtCB5Q (“Removing Your Shame Label: Learning to Break Free of Shame and Feel God’s Love”) and his most recent book, https://amzn.to/3EN9APF (“Why Men Struggle to Love: Overcoming Relational Blind Spots.”)
You’ve identified 9 inner child symptoms and core emotional triggers. Can you share some of them with us?
Explain the term “Emotional Intimacy” and how that relates to sexual addictions or porn addictions…
But if someone is in a committed relationship, marriage, etc., aren’t they emotionally bonded, to use your term from the book, to their partner?
Your most recent book, https://amzn.to/3EN9APF (“Why Men Struggle to Love: Overcoming Relational Blind Spots,”) why do you believe this book is so needful at this point in our culture today?
The title of your book is, https://amzn.to/3EN9APF (“Why Men Struggle to Love,”) so, I guess the question I need to ask is, “Why do men struggle to love?”
Is it true that some of this relates back to things that happened in their childhood? Or is that just a popular fallacy?
In your book, https://amzn.to/3EN9APF (“Why Men Struggle to Love,”) you state your mission is not to “rid men of their destructive behaviors, but instead, to transform their hearts.” Can you explain how that will help them gain victory over their sexual addictions?
With the current internet generation, porn is so accessible as compared to when I was growing up. You used to have to the “five and dime” store and then stand in the aisle and try and look at the girlie magazines without drawing attention. It’s not like that today. Just about anyone and any age can access things that, just can’t be described, it’s so bad… How can we avoid all that we are faced with?
Can you briefly go over some of the 14 “Blind Spots” men need to overcome in order to emotionally connect to their spouse, significant other, etc., as outlined in your book?
What could the consequences be if men fail to connect or emotionally bond with others?
Now, this next question can be twisted to mean different things and that is not my intention. But there are many women who dress, let’s just say, seductively, on purpose. I know we are focusing here on men struggling with sexual addictions, but what are your thoughts on someone of the opposite sex that strive to plant those thoughts in the minds of men? Do they have some underlying problems similar to the ones you are sharing about men and their sexual addictions?
Dr. Capparucci, this is all so interesting – and so needful – in the culture we are living in today. How can someone order a copy of your book, https://amzn.to/3EN9APF (“Why Men Struggle to Love: Overcoming Relational Blind Spots?)” Is it available on Amazon?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question, to seek your services or a referral to someone near them or maybe possibly do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put all of this down in the show notes below.
Folks, especially you men out there, admit it. You’ve seen yourself in some of the things Dr. Capparucci has been discussing today. I know I’ve seen...

Help me welcome to the program, Dr. Eddie Capparucci.
First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Eddie Capparucci?”
Your wife is responsible for leading you, ultimately to the Lord, right?
With your background in the corporate world, how did you get involved in helping to set men free from sexual addictions?
You have, more or less, coined the term, “Getting rid of porn addiction by healing the inner child.” Can you tell us a bit about what that term actually means?
You’ve identified 9 inner child symptoms and core emotional triggers. Can you share some of them with us?
Explain the term “Emotional Intimacy” and how that relates to sexual addictions or porn addictions…
Folks, especially you men out there, admit it. You’ve seen yourself in some of the things Dr. Capparucci has been discussing today. I know I’ve seen myself in some of these things. It’s there. It needs to be dealt with. God’s Word is there for you. All deliverance is in and through God’s Word. But, many, many people, especially men, need the extra help to overcome these types of addictions. I urge you, first, order a copy of Dr. Eddie Capparucci’s book https://amzn.to/3EN9APF (“Why Men Struggle to Love: Overcoming Relational Blind Spots.” )
Drop down into the show notes and click the link right there. Do so now, while you are thinking about it. Don’t listen to the devil telling you to wait until later. You know as well as I do that you’ll end up doing nothing at all. Act now! God has brought Dr. Capparucci onto this program today, to speak to you right now. If that’s you – order his book right now.

The GLUE of Leadership Development Amy Kelly pt 1 https://amzn.to/3Pf9plk ()Have you ever had a workplace disagreement in your career? It may not have even been that bad of a disagreement. But over time, it continued to eat away until, ultimately, it DID affect your life, your workplace, your family, etc.?
Have you ever said something that you regretted saying?
Have you ever done something that had the opposite effect you intended and you wished you could go back and do over in a different way?
Making decisions in business and in relationships is normal. How you communicate and how you handle decisions can result in either success or failure. Each decision you make can either strengthen the bonds of the relationships you have – or tear them apart.
Sometimes, when you handle things the wrong way and the relationship is torn apart, you wish there was some type of glue to bring it all back together, right?
Well, my guest today just happens to have that glue available for you to use…
Amy Kelly is the Vice President of Consulting for the Jon Gordon Companies and a human resource and talent development executive who is known for building high-performance talent and cultures, including award winning workplaces and leadership development programs.
She has released a book titled, https://amzn.to/3Pf9plk (“G.L.U.E. – A Leadership Development Strategy to Bond and Unite.”) This book is a must read for any business, any home, any community or ministry leader who needs to grow personal leadership effectiveness and create unity in the home, workplace and world.
How does this fit into the discussion of minimizing disagreements and negative emotional energy that you describe?
How did the COVID pandemic, shutdowns and all of that effect what you are trying to share in this book?
Does this book, https://amzn.to/3Pf9plk (“GLUE”) help to create the same type of environment in the home as well as the workplace?
How can someone who may be deeply involved in community projects use these precepts to rally support for the cause while still allowing personal and professional growth of those involved that may not always involve the organization?
If you could sum up in one statement what the main takeaway your readers will have from this book, what would that be?
How can someone obtain a copy of your book, https://amzn.to/3Pf9plk (“G.L.U.E. – A Leadership Development Strategy to Bond and Unite,”) is it available on Amazon?
Amy, this is so interesting. If someone has a question, how can they get in touch with you or obtain more information?

You say your book, https://amzn.to/3Pf9plk (“GLUE,”) provides a framework to build relationships and trust – even in the midst of conflict. How do you go about doing that?
I can say, the story line you provide is riveting. I mean, I can relate to the premise of starting and running a business with a close friend, only to have that friend decide to branch off and do their own thing with the ideas you mutually developed. That happened to me about 25 years ago. And that relationship did not end well and still, to this day, really has not healed.

How did Linda’s Faith help her to come to the point where she could accept Cindy’s decision to leave the business and start her own?

What the Bible Has to Say About the USA David Heeren https://amzn.to/3ykYjoL ()There can be no doubt, if you are a believer, if you have studied the Bible or have been reading the Bible for any length of time, that we are living in what the Bible refers to as “the last days.”
But, what does that truly mean?
Are we headed for a crisis worse than COVID? What can Christians do to prevent a total collapse? In seeking answers to these and other important questions, Bible scholar David Heeren turned to the Old Testament book of Hosea, which describes ancient Israel as a land bearing many resemblances to America today.
David Heeren has been on our program a couple of times discussing end time topics over the last couple of years. His books layout clear road signs for believers to survive and thrive in these last days.
David has spent the better part of the last 17-18 years studying the Bible and other references. His most recent book is https://amzn.to/3ykYjoL (“What the Bible Has to Say About the USA: The Old Testament Speaks to Americans Today”) where David takes us on a fascinating exploration into the Book of Hosea and draws striking parallels between ancient Israel and modern day America.
David, it is so good to have you back on the program again! I appreciate you joining us today!
For the benefit of those who may be new to the program and have not heard our prior conversations, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is David Heeren?”
Why did you write this book https://amzn.to/3ykYjoL (“What the Bible Has to Say About the USA: The Old Testament Speaks to Americans Today?”) And why the book of Hosea?
Which of these issues seem to be the most prevalent right now?
Are these things successive in nature?
I mean, is it possible to break the pattern of succession?
What would need to be accomplished to restore Biblical morality and God-ordained Constitutional liberty in the United States – and avoid these things discussed in the Book of Hosea?
In your book, you mention one positive theme in Hosea. What is that and how does it relate to the Book Song of Songs?
And https://amzn.to/3ykYjoL (your book), how can they receive a copy? Is it on Amazon?
David this has been truly interesting. I have been, and I know many others have been as well, proclaiming the soon return of Jesus is near. Truly near…
If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or maybe do an interview like this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this down in the show notes below.
Folks, as we have been saying, Jesus is coming soon! There is no doubt about it. You have just heard a small portion of what David Heeren has discussed in his latest book, https://amzn.to/3ykYjoL (“What the Bible Has to Say About the USA: : The Old Testament Speaks to Americans Today?”)
I urge you to go down into the show notes, click the links right there and order you copy right now, today. Get this book into your hands. Get this book, read it and then get it into someone else’s hands. It is that important! Amen! In fact, order two or more copies and be that distribution point for those closest to you! Amen!
Go down into the show notes and click this links right there, right now.
David, it is always a pleasure to have you on the program. I want to thank you for taking the time to come back and discuss your latest book, https://amzn.to/3ykYjoL (“What the Bible Has to Say About the USA: : The Old Testament Speaks to Americans Today.”) I do appreciate it.

How to Mobilize and Empower Others Andrena Sawyer pt 2 Andrena Sawyer is an author, business strategist, and diversity advocate whose background includes surviving the civil war in Sierra Leone. Her authenticity and battle-tested principles inspire audiences to embrace their past, own their present and maximize their future.
Originally from Freetown, Sierra Leone, she and her family moved to the United States when she was nine years old due to a civil war that left thousands dead and untold numbers maimed and displaced. She now credits her family's move during the war for her interest in human triumph and perseverance. She has since actively worked to mobilize and empower others.
At age 15, she founded Triple “T” MAD (Teens Trying to Make a Difference), a community service organization for teens in central New Jersey. As a student at Howard University, she continued to cultivate her interest in community development by founding Rock, the MIC—an annual outreach for youth in the DC area. These experiences laid a firm foundation that continues to define her work. She is the President of https://www.andrenasawyer.com/about-3-1 (P.E.R.K. Consulting), an advisory firm for small to mid-sized nonprofits and businesses, and the Founder of https://www.andrenasawyer.com/about-3 (MCWEN)—a faith-based network for women of color entrepreneurs.
Through her work, she has helped hundreds of organizations and thousands of individuals move from ideas to purpose-driven work.
She is also the author of several book, including https://amzn.to/3OxGrN8 (“The Misadventures of a New Entrepreneur: 5 Things They Won’t Teach You in Business School.”)
Tell us about MCWEN?
How are “Faith and Purpose” connected?
You mentioned P.E.R.K. What is that and how does it help other entrepreneurs?
I’m intrigued by your book title, https://amzn.to/3OxGrN8 (“The Misadventures Of A New Entrepreneur: 5 Things They Won't Teach You in Business School.”) Can you share a bit about your book with us?

Andrena, this has been so interesting. If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or possibly do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you? Folks, I can’t emphasize enough how important it is for you to “be your own boss.” Even if you are working for another company, or even if you are a Federal employee and think you have a guaranteed job. All it takes is for someone higher up to say, “We are reshaping the company,” or “Your job has been eliminated.” Then, you’re job is gone.
I know, I’ve had that happen to me. It’s not a good position to be in.
But, with Andrena’s help, you could start your side job and have that soon become you main job. Then, you are the one who’s in charge. If you start now, you could be in a position where you may just decide to quit or retire early from your “regular job.” How awesome would that be?
But you won’t know how to do it or how to go about doing it, if you do not get in touch with Andrena Sawyer right now.

How to Mobilize and Empower Others Andrena Sawyer pt 1 Andrena Sawyer is an author, business strategist, and diversity advocate whose background includes surviving the civil war in Sierra Leone. Her authenticity and battle-tested principles inspire audiences to embrace their past, own their present and maximize their future.
Originally from Freetown, Sierra Leone, she and her family moved to the United States when she was nine years old due to a civil war that left thousands dead and untold numbers maimed and displaced. She now credits her family's move during the war for her interest in human triumph and perseverance. She has since actively worked to mobilize and empower others.
At age 15, she founded Triple “T” MAD (Teens Trying to Make a Difference), a community service organization for teens in central New Jersey. As a student at Howard University, she continued to cultivate her interest in community development by founding Rock, the MIC—an annual outreach for youth in the DC area. These experiences laid a firm foundation that continues to define her work. She is the President of https://www.andrenasawyer.com/about-3-1 (P.E.R.K. Consulting), an advisory firm for small to mid-sized nonprofits and businesses, and the Founder of https://www.andrenasawyer.com/about-3 (MCWEN)—a faith-based network for women of color entrepreneurs.
Through her work, she has helped hundreds of organizations and thousands of individuals move from ideas to purpose-driven work.
She is also the author of several book, including https://amzn.to/3OxGrN8 (“The Misadventures of a New Entrepreneur: 5 Things They Won’t Teach You in Business School.”)
First question I always ask is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Andrena Sawyer?”
Your background, coming from a war torn area in Sierra Leone, how long did it take you to adjust to living in the United States?
At what age did you find Christ?
As you grew older, what started you down the path of starting “Triple T MAD?”
What type of impact did that make in your community and in your own life?
You went to Howard University, what did you major in there?
While at Howard University, you founded another outreach that is an annual event, “Rock the MIC.” Can you tell us about that outreach?
Being an entrepreneur is not as easy as some people think. What advice can you give to someone listening to us today that wants to become an entrepreneur?
As you advice someone who is preparing to become, basically, “their own boss,” there will be days when they wonder, “Am I doing the right thing.” What do you share with them when they are facing those questions and may be discouraged from their lack of quick success?
What is “purpose” as it relates to those whom you are trying to help?
Tell us about MCWEN?
How are “Faith and Purpose” connected?

The Christian Writers Collective - Stephanie Reynolds https://christianwriterscollective.com ()There is so much turmoil in this world right now, many people are looking for some good news. They are looking for hope. They are looking for answers. They are looking for someone that can fix things in their life, in their marriages, in the world as a whole.
Well, if you have been following this podcast for any length of time, you know who I’m going to refer everyone to – JESUS. Amen!
And in this fallen world and in this day and time in which we live, YOU can make a difference. YOU can make a difference by sharing how JESUS made a difference in YOUR life! And to help you “Get the Word Out” about all of this, my guest today has the perfect program to help you do just that – AND benefit you, your family or your ministry in the process!
Stephanie Reynolds is the founder of the https://christianwriterscollective.com/ (“Christian Writers Collective”) or affectionately called, the https://christianwriterscollective.com/ (“CWC.”) The basis of the CWC is to publish monthly books that lift up the Name of Jesus to this hurting world.
I’ll let her explain the details and how you can help and how you can benefit by participating in the https://christianwriterscollective.com/ (“JESUS CAN…” book series,) currently underway.
Help me welcome back to the program, Stephanie Reynolds!
I know we could talk for hours about how this book series is going to help introduce people to Jesus and how the participants can share their faith to achieve their dreams and financial goals…
But very quickly, let’s go back to the beginning…
What led you to begin this path of work to create the https://christianwriterscollective.com/ (“Christian Writers Collective?”)
This has not been as easy a path as you originally thought, right? Trying to herd 30 different authors in one direction is kind of like “herding cats,” right?
But you have successfully published the first book of testimonies – tell us about that…
You have attended a couple of book publishing conventions and met a lot of great contacts in the industry in this past year. Tell us how that is helping you to sharpen your focus on making the https://christianwriterscollective.com/ (CWC) a success…
What is the current book issue the https://christianwriterscollective.com/ (CWC) is working on right now?
When is this scheduled to be released?
The participants of the https://christianwriterscollective.com/ (CWC) are blessed through sharing their own testimonies. Can you share how that system works?
Stephanie, this is all so interesting. I’m blessed to be part of the effort to “Get the Word Out” through the https://christianwriterscollective.com/ (CWC) as well.
If someone wants more information on how they can be part of the https://christianwriterscollective.com/ (CWC) bless others, share their testimonies AND be blessed financially in the process – how can they obtain more information or get in touch with you?
Folks, I’ve been part of the https://christianwriterscollective.com/ (CWC) basically since its inception. Stephanie is very open and transparent in all the https://christianwriterscollective.com/ (CWC) does at every step of the way. Through her Zoom meetings an conference calls and in all the efforts of reaching the world with the Gospel through sharing the testimony of others – this is a blessing that YOU need to join and become part of.
Go down below in the show notes, click the links and get in touch with Stephanie and find out how YOU can be part of this terrific organization – and be blessed – today.

The Birth Pangs Intensify Tom Donnan pt 1 I have guests come on this program all of the time. I do between 3 and 5 and sometimes 6 interviews each week. I’ve noticed recently that many guests are discussing the end time, the Book of Revelation and / or things happening in this world.
There is a Spiritual awakening happening in the Body of Christ right now – that the Day of the Lord is at hand.
For some, they deny such things. They blame it all on “Climate Change.” Or, Russia and China. Some blame still blame Donald Trump.
But for believers, true believers, they don’t blame anyone but the devil. Praise God.
I’m telling people, almost on a daily basis, that NONE of these things worry me. Not one. Not inflation. Not COVID. Not wars. Not crime in the streets. Why? Because I see prophecy coming to pass right before my eyes. And I know how it all turns out.
Yes, I’m not going to lie. It does “concern” me. But my hope rests, completely, in Jesus. Amen
Our good friend, Tom Donnan, is back today to discuss more things that deal with all of these same issues. The Lord shares these things with Tom through dreams and visions and he is back today to share some recent things the Lord has shown to him. And how they are coming to pass, not at some point in the future – but right now, every single night – on television. Praise God.
That is some pretty intense things that are happening or soon to happen. Again, just like Jesus said they would be happening immediately prior to His return.
We hardly ever have a session like this when we do not talk about earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and things like that. Have you recently seen what was happening in the Azores Islands?
27000 quakes in a day in the Azores Island chain as they get ready for an eruption. https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=mN2_kYDPMvo (Azores volcanic island prepares for disaster after thousands of small earthquakes - YouTube)
END PART ONE
I recently seen news reports about new lockdowns in China. In fact, it’s been widely reported that China is telling their citizens “shut up and stop complaining” or face arrests. That sounds like a wonderful place to live, doesn’t it?
Food Riots around the world.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOTh6jiRNxU (Riots break out in China as starving residents revolt against ‘Zero COVID’ lockdown - YouTube)
Record breaking start to the Tornado season. It seems each year, there are more and more tornadoes than the previous year. As I referenced in the opening, it’s being blamed on “Climate Change” rather than prophecy. Have you seen anything that relates to the increased intensity of weather phenomenon?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=ATkmJxqG9Ss (Record setting number of U.S. tornadoes in March 2022 - YouTube)
Tornados, for the most part, are isolated points of destruction. Hitting one spot; then jumping to another. I came across a video stating the USA is having a record number of tornado’s this season, 218 so far as of this first week in April. Combined this to the earthquake dream shows an increased destruction to people’s lives.
4-9-22. Tornado’s
Dream
I keep having dreams with tornados in them. This morning I had one. It started, I was headed east on 95th near Kedzie. I first saw small debris in the sky swirling around. Then I saw the mild tornado still in the atmosphere. It had clipped a tall structure. I watched as the tornado roped out and drifted down to 99th street. I drove into a parking structure on 95th for protection and to see it. Again I saw it, however it was right above me, very close, spinning slowly. I looked up as in a daze.
Next, I look into becoming a volunteer at Christ Hospital. I mingled with the workers, talk and ask questions. Several seem interested in me. I talk with the staff, interact with them, because I worked there for 25 years they were open to me.
I was on a tour in the hospital, they brought us into a storeroom/...

Tom, thanks for taking the time to come back on and visit. I do appreciate it!
Over the last two years we have talked about our need to be on the strong foundation of Jesus Christ (Matthew 7:24-27). The question now is, is there time left to build that type of strong foundation in our relationship with Jesus?
You recently had a warning dream of earthquakes, shaking and chaos. Can you share somethings with us from that dream?
There are a few main points to the first dream:
A strong shaking is coming.
Some households will be swallowed up in the shaking.
As with earthquakes, there are many shockwaves.
Those having a strong foundation on Jesus do well
Second dream points
Cell phones/communications are down.
There is a need for warm clothing
Emerging from the safety of our foundation is a flood of confused people.
I heard a voice say to me, “Time to separate yourself!”
Tom, if someone wants to get in touch with you, order your books, etc., how can they do that?
I’ll put links to all of this down in the show notes below.
Folks, there is no doubt we are living on the edge of Eternity right now. What you do, what you do not do, will have eternal consequences. Do not hesitate. Do not brush this off as two old guys just talking. This is real. This is decisive. CONTACT INFORMATION: Tom Donnan - Healingthenation1776@gmail.com

A Higher Road D. Neil Elliott pt 2 https://www.dneilelliott.com/ ()In life, we all run into stone walls, unable to process things that we should. Unable to move forward, refusing to move back. It seems we are stuck in the mud, so to speak.
We seek God. We seek a connection. We seek answers. We seek Wisdom. We seek guidance.
For some people, they move towards drugs, alcohol, etc. in an effort to escape.
For others, they dive further into work, refusing to acknowledge there are areas they are struggling in.
If this sounds like you, well, you are in for a treat today.
Neil Elliott is the author of a great book titled, https://amzn.to/37EQ9MC (“A Higher Road – Cleanse Your Consciousness to Transend the Ego and Ascend Spiritually.”) The information contained in this book helps to bridge the gap between science and spirituality. D. Neil Elliott provides a step by step process that can help you, regardless of what religious affiliations you may have.
Can you explain the term you use “truth of our existence…”
This “blueprint document” you discuss in your book, is this something you used to consolidate the step by step process or is it something to supplement those processes?
Through these processes, through your book and through this blue print you share, what is the goal that your readers will achieve as they pursue this “spiritual perfection?”
Our audience is mainly a Christian Faith based audience. How does your book and what you teach help a Christian who is seeking their “higher perception of truth” through the Bible and their walk with Jesus?
Neil, this is all so interesting. How can someone obtain a copy of your book, https://amzn.to/37EQ9MC (“A Higher Road – Cleanse Your Consciousness to Transend the Ego and Ascend Spiritually?”) Is it available on Amazon?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, ask a question, invite you to speak at a conference or maybe just to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
Folks, Neil Elliott’s book, https://amzn.to/37EQ9MC (“A Higher Road – Cleanse Your Consciousness to Transend the Ego and Ascend Spiritually,”) I believe, will be a good supplement to your daily scripture studies, your daily prayer and meditation time. I believe that his processes will, as he explained, help to, basically, “de-clutter” your mind – especially during prayer time. I know sometimes, my mind wanders when I’m praying. Perhaps these methods will help you to draw closer to God.
You will not know unless you order a copy of Neil Elliott’s book, https://amzn.to/37EQ9MC (“A Higher Road – Cleanse Your Consciousness to Transend the Ego and Ascend Spiritually.”) Just drop down into the show notes and click the link and order you copy today – right now – while you are thinking about it.

First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Neil Elliott?”
You are a professional engineer and worked in the utility industry for several decades. What was it about your background that caused you seek out, as you say, “a connection with the Divine?”
Was this “God” you were seeking? Truth? Wisdom? What was it that you believed you were missing?
In your book, https://amzn.to/37EQ9MC (“A Higher Road,”) you state that you were in a “dark place.” But, you say, by “accident,” you found a “Higher Road.” Explain that time in your life and the circumstances that led you to this “Higher Road?”
You mention this is based in science. How so?
You share that we are able to do this ourself, without the aid of affirmations or traveling to India to sit at the feet of a guru or things like that. It involves a step-by-step process. Can you share with us, in summary form, the step by step process you’ve discovered?

The Last Christian Joel Williams pt 2 https://www.lastchristian.net/ ()
Joel Williams was raised in a Christian home and attended church faithfully, as his parents were active participants in the church. At age 16, he decided enough was enough, he believed he was saved and figured he could go it alone now. Well, needless to say, his life was not one of sunshine and roses…
But that is all behind him now and he is serving the Lord by sharing the "Good News" of the Gospel far and wide... Joel Williams is the founder of https://www.lastchristian.net/podcast (“The Last Christian Podcast”) – the Bible versus the world in Prophesy. He is also preparing to have his own radio program on Evangelism Radio at http://www.evangelismradio.com/ (evangelismradio.com) as well.
Today is part two of a great two part interview! Joel Williams and Pastor Bob discuss the ultimate question: “If you died tonight, would you go to Heaven”…
Something happened that led you to “try church” again. Can you share what happened and how it affected your outlook on life – and death?
When you were born again, from what I’ve read, you jumped right into serving the Lord through the church you were attending. Tell us about that time in your life…
You were remarried then?
The Lord has blessed you with being able to start reconnecting with your children. But the Lord has also blessed you with being able to raise two grandchildren now. What are your thoughts on having this “second chance” at child raising?
In what you shared with me in preparation for today’s interview, you said, “The problem was too easy to see. YOU were deciding your path and not asking the Lord of direction.”
That is the exact same thing I discovered through my life, up until I was facing medical retirement from law enforcement. Just like you, I sought the Lord’s input and He gave me the “OK” to let that career go and just follow His lead.
Now, for me, it was “Begin your own, weekly, 30 minute online radio program.” Today, they call that a podcast, but I had no idea what it was. I was not technically inclined – in fact, I had to have help checking email. That is the God’s honest truth! But, looking back over the last 11 years, I can see how the Lord has moved me, one step at a time, into where we are at right now with our ministry and are able to bless others and help them to “Get the Word Out” through online media sources.
Tell us about your walk down this path and how you were led to start your own podcast and what doors have been open for you?
Joel, there can be no doubt for anyone who has half a brain, in my opinion, that we living in the last minutes of the last days as depicted in the Bible. World events are beginning to line EXACTLY like the Bible says they will be just before the Rapture takes place. What are your thoughts on this day and time in which we live?
How does your podcast, https://www.lastchristian.net/podcast (“The Last Christian”) help in sharing this “Good News” (Good News for believers – not so good for non-believers)?
Let me ask you this… I see Ezekiel 38 beginning to come to pass right now. What do you believe will occur first, the destruction of Damascus or the Rapture? And why?
In addition to https://www.lastchristian.net/podcast (your podcast), we are going to be helping you reach the world with the Gospel through your own LIVE radio program on http://www.evangelismradio.com/ (Evangelism Radio.) We will be starting that program very, very soon – at the time of this recording. In fact, folks, you may be able to catch Joel Williams on the radio at the time this interview is published – Praise God!
Joel, if I’m not mistaken, your program will be aired LIVE every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 830pm to 9pm ET, correct?
What about your podcast? How can someone listen to that program?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question, etc., how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with...
The Last Christian Joel Williams pt 1 https://www.lastchristian.net/ ()There are times in our life when things do not go as planned. I know – I’ve experienced several over my life. My first love was the military…then it was gone. And I blamed God for allowing it to happen. I had my plans all laid out – but unexpected turns (and my attitude, I now can admit that), destroyed those plans. Then it was business – then it was gone. The difference this time, I was born again. So I did not blame God. I blamed others.
Then it was law enforcement… then it was gone. But the difference this time – I was born again, called and ordained into ministry (I was even a chaplain for our department’s FOP for several years). And as I was seeing the “handwriting on the wall,” I prayed. I sought the Lord and in the process, received the “peace that passes all understanding.”
So when the transition came, this time, I was ready to step into my calling.
Well, my guest today has gone through similar experiences…
Joel Williams was raised in a Christian home and attended church faithfully, as his parents were active participants in the church (same for me). At age 16, he decided enough was enough, he believed he was saved and figured he could go it alone now (same for me, at age 16 as well).
Well, needless to say, his life was not one of sunshine and roses…
But, I’ll let him share about all of that and how HE ended up here, with us today! Amen!
Joel Williams is the founder of https://www.lastchristian.net/podcast (“The Last Christian Podcast”) – the Bible versus the world in Prophesy. He is also preparing to have his own radio program on Evangelism Radio at http://www.evangelismradio.com/ (evangelismradio.com) as well.
Help me welcome to the program, Joel Williams!
Other than that brief information I just shared, can you share with us in your own words, “Who is Joel Williams?”
Now, your parents raised you, basically, in the church – as my grandparents did (I was raised by my grandparents). At the same age, I may have actually been 15, you decided you’d had enough of church. Tell us why and what did you do then?
I understand you worked for American Airlines for a long time… tell us about your life during that period of your life?
Were you chasing money to prove your success or seeking success to pursue money?
What was your family life like at that time?
You left the airlines, what did you do then?
Something happened that led you to “try church” again. Can you share what happened and how it affected your outlook on life – and death?
When you were born again, from what I’ve read, you jumped right into serving the Lord through the church you were attending. Tell us about that time in your life…
You were remarried then?

Faith in the Kingdom of Heaven Apostle Ken Giles pt 1 https://lbchouston.org/online-giving/ ()There is a definite demonstration in society today, of a lack of Faith in God. Lack of Faith in His Word. Lack of Faith in the ability of Jesus and all that He has accomplished for us. When I was growing up, 70% of America went to church every Sunday. Businesses were closed so employees could go to church.
Today, we are continuing our interview with Apostle Ken Giles of the Lincoln Bible Church in Hempstead, Texas is joining us on the program today. He and his wife, Pastor Sheila Giles, have released a great book that is very, very relevant for today and especially for those who ask that question, “Where is God and how come I’m not blessed?” The book is titled, https://amzn.to/3JPC3VU (“Faith in the Kingdom of Heaven: You Can’t Have One Without the Other.”)
Apostle Ken, you share a “lucky rabbit’s foot analogy” in your book as you discuss “Faith in God.” Can you share your thoughts on this?
You also discuss how, when we order something online, we receive a “confirmation receipt.” You discuss this in light of Hebrews 11:1. Can you share that with us as well?
You share, in section three, how people believe the “Big Bang Theory.” Talk a bit about that from your perspective…
I loved the story that relates to God’s Blessings in our lives. It all depends on “relationship” with the Father. The story you told was about a boy needing a ticket to get into a theme park and get on the rides. Can you share that with us?
Apostle Ken, we are about out of time. This book, https://amzn.to/3JPC3VU (“Faith in the Kingdom of God”) is a magnificent book. How can someone receive a copy of it? Is it on Amazon?
You are currently running a very, very special offer. Can you tell us about that offer our listeners can be part of?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, this book by Apostle Ken and Pastor Sheila Giles is a MUST READ for the world in which we live today. There is no doubt we are living in the last of the last days, and anyone who wants to be blessed while living here MUST apply God’s Word to their every day circumstances. This book, “Faith in the Kingdom of Heaven” is something that will help you to do just that!

Lack of Faith in the ability of Jesus and all that He has accomplished for us. When I was growing up, 70% of America went to church every Sunday. Businesses were closed so employees could go to church.
Today, it seems like 70% of people NEVER even grace the doors of a church. Is it any wonder our society is experiencing all of the turmoil we are seeing today? But yet, when something terrible happens, one of the first things you hear is people asking, “How did God let this happen?”
Well, to discuss this -and more – Apostle Ken Giles of the Lincoln Bible Church in Hempstead, Texas is joining us on the program today. They have released a great book that is very, very relevant for today and especially for those who ask that question, “Where is God and how come I’m not blessed?” The book is titled, https://amzn.to/3JPC3VU (“Faith in the Kingdom of Heaven: You Can’t Have One Without the Other.”)
Help me welcome back to the program, Apostle Ken Giles!
Apostle Ken, why did you write this book and why do you believe it is needful right now?
I was blessed to have been given a pre-published manuscript and even more blessed when you selected my review for the back cover endorsement. Folks, I’m telling you, this is a great book and I’m blessed to be a part of helping Apostle Ken and Pastor Sheila to “Get the Word Out!” about their book and their ministry. You can hear their “Kingdom Living Broadcast” on Evangelism Radio, twice per day, 7 days per week at 8am and 5pm Eastern Time onhttp://www.evanglismradio.com/ (www.evanglismradio.com) – amen!
I loved your analogy of the “Wholesale Food Card” that you used to introduce the book. Can you briefly go over that? I thought that was so powerful…
Your tag line, if you want to call it that, is https://amzn.to/3JPC3VU (“Faith and the Kingdom of Heaven, You Can’t Have One Without the Other.”) In the first chapter of your book, you reference how that became you tag line, if you want to call it that.
Apostle, today’s society is snubbing their nose at God as never before. Today, some people don’t know if they are a girl, a boy or a dog it seems like. In your book, https://amzn.to/3JPC3VU (“Faith in the Kingdom of Heaven,”) you discuss this as you are explaining Genesis Chapter Three. Can you briefly explain what you covered for our listeners?
Apostle Ken, you share a “lucky rabbit’s foot analogy” in your book as you discuss “Faith in God.” Can you share your thoughts on this?
Folks, this book by Apostle Ken and Pastor Sheila Giles is a MUST READ for the world in which we live today.

They Sold Their Souls for Rock and Roll Pastor Joe Shimmel pt 3 https://www.goodfight.org/ ()Pastor Joe Shimmel is the senior pastor of Blessed Hope Chapel in Simi Valley, California. His background is one that many teenagers in the 1970’s followed, myself included, as we seemed to fall into the “sex, drugs and rock and roll” mentality. It was about as far as we could get from serving the Lord at that time, my life included.
We have been discussing his video, https://amzn.to/3E2atDB ("They Sold Their Souls for Rock and Roll,") that turned Hollywood and the music industry upside down as he exposed the satanic ties that almost every major star has demonstrated or confessed to (during interviews or performances).
Today, we will be focusing on where we left off yesterday, with a NEW video that Pastor Joe has released, http://www.marveldcexposed.com/ ("Marvel and DC's War on God: The Anti-Christ Agenda.") This video provides the evidence of writers and publishers of "action hero" comic books are also delving into satanic issues in an effort to lead our youth astray.
This is part three of a great three part interview with Pastor Joe Shimmel... I can see some of the Marvel characters that are being touted as heroes but actually are introducing demonic powers to the readers… has this always been the case with these comic book heroes?
You go into detail about some of the famous people in the entertainment industry. Did you ever receive any feedback from some of the people you discussed in the video?
This film is released now, correct?
The information you shared in the video was all publicly available information for anyone that wanted to research it, correct?
Tell us about https://www.goodfightradioshow.org/ (“Fight the Good Fight Ministries”) and your https://www.goodfightradioshow.org/ (podcast…)
Pastor Joe, this is all so fascinating. I’ve learned a lot from your videos and especially now that I can tie it together with what you shared today…
Pastor, again, this is all so fascinating. If someone wanted to get more information on what we’ve talked about today or about your ministry, how can they do that?
Your video, https://amzn.to/3E2atDB (“They Sold Their Souls for Rock and Roll”) is available on YouTube, right?
How can they watch the http://www.marveldcexposed.com/ (Marvel film?)
’ll put links do all of this down in the show notes below.
Folks, as I stated in the beginning, this is not new. It’s been going on since the Garden of Eden if you want to get technical about it. The devil does not have anything new up his sleeve. He’s the same yesterday, today and forever. His tactics are as well. But our God is also the same yesterday, today and forevermore. And Jesus has defeated the devil and all that are with him.
Pastor Joe Shimmel has been shining the True Light into the darkness of the entertainment industry for decades. I encourage you to go down into the show notes and click the links there. I especially encourage you to watch the video, https://amzn.to/3E2atDB (“The Sold Their Souls for Rock and Roll.”) I watched a few years ago and it changed how I viewed things that I thought were normal, everyday things. I’m telling, Pastor Joe is making an impact for the Body of Christ by exposing these things and I am really, truly, looking forward to the upcoming release of http://www.marveldcexposed.com/ (“Marvel and DC War on God.”)

They Sold Their Souls for Rock and Roll Pastor Joe Shimmel pt 2 https://www.goodfight.org/ ()Have you noticed how far society and our culture has fallen in recent years? Not quite the “Leave it Beaver” generation anymore, is it?
How many times have you seen the news reports of someone doing something so despicable that you hear comments like, “That’s evil” or “They must be demon possessed” or something similar.
Though I agree in more ways than we have time to go into today, the question is, “How did they become demon possessed?” “Why are they doing things so evil?”
To help us delve into that realm today, I have a very special guest who was drifting into that realm of reality, through something that many people often listen to and participate in. I’m not going to spoil it here, as I would like Pastor Joe Shimmel to explain it for us. But I’m telling you right now, this is an interview you will want to pay particular attention to and share amongst your family, friends and co-workers, as he is going to pull back the cover and be discussing things happening right in your own home and you are not even aware of it…
This is only part two of a great three part interview! Can you share a bit about this new film you’ve been working on? http://www.marveldcexposed.com/ (“Marvel & DC’s War on God: The AntiChrist Agenda.”)Especially about “Dr. Strange” and what you’ve discovered?
Pastor Joe shares information about some famous people who use cryptic lyrics which indicates common demonic activity and possession…
Folks, as I stated in the beginning, this is not new. It’s been going on since the Garden of Eden if you want to get technical about it. The devil does not have anything new up his sleeve. He’s the same yesterday, today and forever. His tactics are as well. But our God is also the same yesterday, today and forevermore. And Jesus has defeated the devil and all that are with him.

Although I was beginning to dabble in the occult and hard rock as a teenager, the military actually served to prevent from following the same path Pastor Joe ended up on…
That being said, let’s jump into the program!
Help me welcome to the program, Pastor Joe Shimmel!
Pastor, thank you for taking the time to join us today! I do appreciate it…
Revelation 12:11 says we conquer sin and Satan’s plans by the Blood of the Lord and the Word of our testimony… I’d like to talk with you about your testimony. I’ve listened to it. I’ve talked with Doug Stebleton about it, and I definitely wanted to get you on the program to share your testimony with our listeners. I know there are many people who will be able to relate to the things we will be talking about today…
But before we do that, the first question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Joe Shimmel?”
So, you started off listening to and then writing your own lyrics to music. What first got you interested in delving into that realm and how did the occult work its way through that to you?
The Bible has spelled out many words that we use in demonic references, such for cuttings, drugs and serving demonic beings, correct? Can you give us some examples, like Dungeons and Dragons, etc.?
Folks, as I stated in the beginning, this is not new. It’s been going on since the Garden of Eden if you want to get technical about it. The devil does not have anything new up his sleeve. He’s the same yesterday, today and forever. His tactics are as well. But our God is also the same yesterday, today and forevermore. And Jesus has defeated the devil and all that are with him.

Mega Quake 2023 "It’s about to happen!"
Dr. Richard Ruhling pt 2 https://amzn.to/3qMlWSr ()With all that has been happening in the world, and especially here in the United States recently, some are wondering if this all points to the Biblical “end times” as depicted in the Bible. In fact, in the Book of Daniel, he is told to “…shut up these words and seal the book until the time of the end. Many will roam to and fro and knowledge will increase.”
Today is part two of a great two part interview with our good friend and frequent guest, Dr. Richard Ruhling. I always look forward to Dr. Richard Ruhling’s appearances as his knowledge on a variety of topics always speaks directly to things we see happening all around us. From the COVID virus to eating healthy instead of taking toxic medications; from signs of the times to warnings from the Bible, Dr. Ruhling has proven himself to be an expert that we can turn to for a wealth of information.
He is releasing a new book right now, https://amzn.to/3qMlWSr (“Mega Quake 2023”) that goes into great detail on WHY we are now entering the “last days” before the return of Jesus. But he goes a lot deeper than just “saying” we are in the last days. He is sharing a wealth of information – all with the purpose for YOU to give God and Jesus another chance. Amen!
You do not want to be “one of those” who are crying out in misery remembering how you could have learned some things here that will translate into even better things there, in Heaven. Amen!
Share with us what the “Great Disappointment” is as outlined in your book, https://amzn.to/3qMlWSr (“Mega Quake 2023”)
Tell us about Ellen White. She was an amazing woman of God, in my opinion. And it really fascinated me that she seen 911 happen almost 100 years before it actually took place. Can you speak to some of the visions and predictions she made concerning the days in which we now live?
I have to admit, I’ve talked to many prophets and other ministry professionals in these last three or four years, and almost to a “T”, they ALL believe that “life as we now it” will not be hear much longer.
You also list a “confirming sign” for 2023 and how the liberal left has obscured it. Can you give us a brief description and meaning to that sign?
Dr. Ruhling, how can someone obtain a copy of your book, https://amzn.to/3qMlWSr (“Mega Quake 2023”)? Is it available on Amazon?
And how can someone get in touch with you, may be if they had any questions relating to some of the things we discussed today – and many that we did not get to because we simply ran our to time?
Folks, I’m telling you, mark my words… we are living in the last hours of the last days of life on earth as we know it. You need to get ahold of Dr. Richard Ruhling’s book, https://amzn.to/3qMlWSr (“Mega Quake 2023”) and learn for yourself what is happening; what is being pushed off as “the answer” (and the way to deal with these issues); how the government is claiming to know all the answers – you just need to do what they say and not as they do; and how the government, (who claims to know everything you need – just do as they say – is not being truthful at all with the lives of the public they are supposed to be serving…

Anyway, help me welcome back to the program, our dear friend, Dr. Richard Ruhling!
Dr. Ruhling, as we discussed before we went live with the recording, I’ve been a follower of your ministry efforts for, I can’t remember for sure, but about the last 4 or 5 years, at least.
I learn a lot from every interview we do and I believe our listeners do as well.
For the benefit of first time listeners, or, for that matter, anyone who is interested in listening to the Godly Timeline for us today…
Your book, https://amzn.to/3qMlWSr (“Mega Quake 2023”), will explain things into a lot more detail than we will be cover here, but let’s try! Amen?
Tell us about the “mega-quakes” you are predicting between now and 2023…
We are told, over and over again in the Bible, that certain events, or “signs” will happen just before Jesus returns. Can you give us a few glimpses into how you book ties these events to current events and what the Bible has to say about them? Like Noah, etc…
Are there truly parallels between the Unites States and Egypt in the Bible?
Joseph’s warning of seven good years and 7 bad years…
How the wedding parables relate to all of this information, but doing so in ways that people think…
Pastors shown as failing Christ’s 9-11 warning…
You discuss how we are being “prepared” for the end times through movies and things like that, depicting fiction, but actually desensitizing us to the ramifications of what is about to unfold, right before our eyes. Can you give some insight on how this soon coming earthquake is being passed off to cost us to” take our eyes off the Lord?”
You give seven signs that we are in the Book of Revelation, in reference to the earthquakes. Can you briefly go over those seven signs and explain why they are so important?
Dr. Ruhling discusses further evidences of the end times from the Book of Joel, President Lincoln, President Trump and the political climate in the world right nowFolks, I’m telling you, mark my words… we are living in the last hours of the last days of life on earth as we know it. You need to get ahold of Dr. Richard Ruhling’s book, https://amzn.to/3qMlWSr (“Mega Quake 2023” )and learn for yourself what is happening

I know we could talk for hours about how this book series is going to help introduce people to Jesus and how the participants can share their faith to achieve their dreams and financial goals…
But very quickly, let’s go back to the beginning…
What led you to begin this path of work to create the https://christianwriterscollective.com/ (“Christian Writers Collective?”)
This has not been as easy a path as you originally thought, right? Trying to herd 30 different authors in one direction is kind of like “herding cats,” right?

Folks, I’ve been part of the https://christianwriterscollective.com/ (CWC) basically since its inception. Stephanie is very open and transparent in all the https://christianwriterscollective.com/ (CWC) does at every step of the way. Through her Zoom meetings an conference calls and in all the efforts of reaching the world with the Gospel through sharing the testimony of others – this is a blessing that YOU need to join and become part of.

The Soldier Code Duncan Brannan pt 2 I’ve been blessed with being able to interview many influential people on this podcast. I’ve interviewed several people over the years that you may have seen on TV or heard on radio or seen speak at conferences, etc.
My guest today is just such a person. He is well known, especially for those born in the late 1990’s and it is my privilege to introduce to you, “Barney the Dinosaur!”
My guest today has been the voice of Barney and many others. He even had multiple voice overs in the smash hit, “DragonBall Z!” He has also been the voice over artist for celebrities such as Martha Stewart, Chuck Swindoll and others.
But, most importantly, he has spent the last 30 years in various aspects of ministry, serving the Most High God and sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Duncan Brannan is also the author of a magnificent book, https://amzn.to/3hE4BGA (“The Soldier Code: Ancient Warrior Wisdom For Modern Day Christian Soldiers.”) This book, which, like I started with, relates the Spiritual similarities of war with the natural. Understanding this relationship will make you a far better soldier in the “Army of the Lord.”
Back in the 1980’s, I was a Cavalry officer and we were required, by our Squadron Commander as part of our officer development program, to read at least one book per month on tactics, history or leadership. I was an avid reader. I read Tsung Su’s book, “The Art of War,” as you have. But, I have to admit, what you have put together in this book is awesome.
You were able to bridge that gap between natural warfare and Spiritual warfare like I have not seen before. Tell us what makes this book unique from all of the other books that are circulating in Christian circles that discuss Spiritual warfare…
You shared with us the six cultures are that you’ve included in your book. What did you find as the common denominators in all of these warrior cultures?
Also, on the jacket of your book, another area says your readers will learn, “Powerful strategies to defeat enemies within and without.” What do you mean by that and how is this accomplished?
Your book is released the third week of March, how can someone obtain a copy? Is it available on Amazon?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, maybe to get more information, ask a question or possibly to do an interview such as this. How can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to this down in the show notes.
Folks, this is a definite book to add to your reading list. I can’t recommend this any more highly than to say, you need to buy two or three copies. Sow them. Buy one for your pastor, too. I know your pastor will be blessed by it.

The Soldier Code Duncan Brannan pt 1 I’ve been blessed with being able to interview many influential people on this podcast. I’ve interviewed several people over the years that you may have seen on TV or heard on radio or seen speak at conferences, etc.
It is not often that I am able to interview someone who, not only loves the Lord, but shares my passion of relating things to military service. After all, we are in the “Army of the Lord” and my training in tactics and military strategies are things I relate to all of the time. Often to the chagrin of my family as somebody will mention something and I’ll respond with, “That’s a Cavalry tactic to do “such and such.”
Anyway, my guest today is just such a person. He is well known, especially for those born in the late 1990’s and it is my privilege to introduce to you, “Barney the Dinosaur!”
Ok, Ok, even the Apostle Paul said “Bear with me in my folly…”
My guest today has been the voice of Barney, though. Among many others, Chuck-E-Cheese as well as Barney. He even had multiple voice overs in the smash hit, “DragonBall Z!” He has also been the voice over artist for celebrities such as Martha Stewart, Chuck Swindoll and others.
But, most importantly, he has spent the last 30 years in various aspects of ministry, serving the Most High God and sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Duncan Brannan is also the author of a magnificent book, “The Soldier Code: Ancient Warrior Wisdom For Modern Day Christian Soldiers.” This book, which, like I started with, relates the Spiritual similarities of war with the natural. Understanding this relationship will make you a far better soldier in the “Army of the Lord.”
First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief introduction I just gave, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Duncan Brannon?”
I have to ask… If I have performed my calculations correctly, were you in the ministry while performing as “Barney” and “Chuck E. Cheese?”
So “Barney” was a Christian! Praise God!
What initially got you interested in voice overs or voice acting?
But how did this background prepare you for ministry and what you are doing now?
But, let’s talk about your book, “The Soldier Code: Ancient Warrior Wisdom For Modern Day Christian Soldiers.” I read how you first started down this path. I find interesting to hear the background and how just one nudge from the Lord to do something can have huge Spiritual benefits later.
Share with our listeners how this book project first had it’s beginnings…

Sovereign Mindset Don Abad Many Christian people are business owners. Many business owners are Christians. We live in this world, not separate from this world. We are here to share the Gospel and we don’t have to hit people over the head to do so.
Often, it is how we live our life and how we conduct our business.
Our guest today has successfully bridged that gap and has grown a successful business while sharing his faith.
Don Abad is a creative consultant, speaker and the founder of “Sovereign Stories,” which offers post-production solutions for values-focused filmmakers and content creators. Don is a second generation network marketer, who, alongside his wife Kimmi, built his family’s freedom through their homebased business. Don coaches teams of fellow entrepreneurs through his unique, “Your Sovereign Downline Training Program.”
Don and his wife, Kimmi, also host of “Your Sovereign Downline Podcast,” where they share lessons learned from over ten years in the network marketing industry and discuss “best tip strategies” for building a home-based business.
Don’s other podcast is “Sovereign” and is dedicated to sharing “Faith, Family and Freedom” and emphasizes the need to have more storytellers to promote these values in a person’s life. Don and his wife strive to help married entrepreneurs and other high-achievers discover or rediscover their purpose and to leave a legacy to their family and their community.
First question… other than that brief information I shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Don Abad?”
From what I’ve read and listened to, while preparing for today’s interview, I know Faith is a very integral part of your life and business. Can you explain how you successfully run your business while also successfully balance “Faith and Family” at the same time?
Why did you decide to name your brand “Sovereign?”
Many people look at network marketing, and I’ll just add, through affiliate marketing into this question as well, as a tabu where it comes to a career choice. But, if they actually stop to think about it, every time they go to the grocery store, retail outlet, or put gas in their car – involves some type of network marketing and affiliate marketing. What are your thoughts on that?
How to you share your marketing knowledge with pastors, churches, etc. in an effort to help them increase their cash flow? Either personally or corporately?
How long have you been doing your podcast, “Your Sovereign Downline?”
You are into filmmaking and things like that… Share with us how important video can be in sharing our story – whatever that story may be?
Jesus was the Master Storyteller!
Back on “Faith, Family and Freedom,” your focus really is on storytelling in each one of those pillars. We talked briefly on “Faith and Family.” But what do you mean by “Freedom” in the context of your brand?
You offer coaching and consulting services in your business. Who is the type of person your business is set up to help? Give us your opinion of who would benefit the most from working with you and what would they gain from doing so?
Don, this has all been so interesting. I have learned some things today and I know our listeners have as well.
Folks, we are marketing ourselves all of the time. Every single person listening to us right now. From the people you meet to the people you work with; from talking with your neighbor or talking with your boss, we usually are trying to leave a good impression, perhaps negotiate a better deal, pay raise, sales, whatever. In order to do that, as Don Abad has shared today, we need to keep the focus on “Faith” then “Family” then “Freedom.”
Faith keeps us grounded in that we should always put representing the Lord and His values above all else. This just results in greater blessings all the way around… Just asking yourself, “What would Jesus do” in this situation? How will this honor Him?
Family – keeping our family at the forefront
Your Marriage God’s Way Scott LaPierre pt 3 https://www.scottlapierre.org/ () https://www.scottlapierre.org/ (Scott LaPierre) is the senior pastor of Woodland Christian Church in Woodland, Washington. In addition to his role as a pastor, he is also married and has NINE children! God Bless you! He is an author of multiple books with more to come and is also the host of “Living God’s Way” podcast. His latest book is https://amzn.to/34pb4SB (“Your Marriage God’s Way: A Biblical Guide to a Christ-Centered Relationship,”) available through Harvest House Publishers…
Today is the conclusion of what turned out to be a great, three part interview!
Something that you always hear, mainly young people today, but it could be anyone, is “I’m in love…” You dedicate an entire chapter in your book to “What is Love?” Share a bit about that with us…
We are here, talking with https://www.scottlapierre.org/ (Pastor Scott LaPierre), author of the great book, https://amzn.to/34pb4SB (“Your Marriage God’s Way: A Biblical Guide to a Christ-Centered Relationship.”)
In your book, you also address the, let’s say, controversial topic (at least until you explain it), and actually, there are two of them… So I’ll just ripple off two rounds back up to provide covering fire for you as you explain “A woman’s greater beauty” and then, right after that, “The Bibles’ “perfect” Wife.”
How can a marriage that, let’s just say, has a shaky foundation because of a weak or even almost non-existent relationship with Christ… how can a couple strengthen that foundation when the marriage may have actually started separate from Christ?
What, and I know what the “Biblical” answer is, but in your book, how do you approach the subject where one or the other spouse may not have the same level of Faith in Christ the firmly believing spouse may have. How does that impact the marriage and how can the faith filled spouse try to carry the load and help the other to come around to that position of faith?
Well, Pastor Scott, this has been a fascinating talk. I just love this book and I’d love to have you come back on again in the future and share about other books you’ve written.
If someone wanted to obtain a copy of your book, https://amzn.to/34pb4SB (“Your Marriage God’s Way: A Biblical Guide to a Christ Centered Marriage,”) how can they do that? Is it on Amazon?
You also have a work book that goes right along with this book, correct?
So they can obtain both at the same time when they order on Amazon or from whatever book retailer they usually use?
Folks, Pastor Scott LaPierre has poured his heart and the Love of Christ into this book in order to bless YOU – in YOUR marriage. What he has written is nothing new. It’s been discussed in the Bible for thousands of years. But his insight, his studies, his time in the Word, has provided a unique, compelling and a very clear understanding of Biblical marriage that most people have not been told about.
I highly encourage you to obtain this book, https://amzn.to/34pb4SB (“Your Marriage God’s Way: A Biblical Guide to a Christ Centered Marriage,”)and the workbook that goes with it! Even if you’ve been married for years or if you are just contemplating marriage. This book and work book will make your marriage better. It will make it safer and more secure from the wiles of the devil and you and your family will be blessed.
Just drop down into the show notes and order your copies today.
If you are doing marriage counseling, I would highly, highly recommend this book and workbook to be part of the pre-marriage counseling or even the marriage counseling in trying to repair a broken marriage. That is how powerful this book is. Amen! CONTACT INFORMATION: https://amzn.to/34pb4SB ()

Today is part two of what turned out to be a great, three part interview!
When problems in marriage arise, there is usually an underlying spiritual problem as well. How can we be on the lookout for those things before they can have time to fester and become dangerous?
Can you explain what you mean by the statement that, “A husband’s call is to Agape his wife; and a wife’s call is to respect her husband?” And how this can be applied today?
Something that you always hear, mainly among young people today, but it could be anyone, is “I’m in love…” You dedicate an entire chapter in your book to “What is Love?” Share a bit about that with us…

Your Marriage God’s Way Scott LaPierre pt 1 https://www.scottlapierre.org/ () It is always a blessing to me when I can interview pastors that have served on the front lines. Not just in ministry, that is important, but also in the military – and, as a former Cavalry officer, I’m especially blessed when I can speak with a fellow tanker or Cav officer! Praise God!

Pastor Scott, the first question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Scott LaPierre?”
Now, I have to talk about your tanker days. It’s not often I get someone on that I can relate to on that level. Amen!
When did you serve?
Where were you stationed?
You were raised in California, how did you end up in Washington State?
You start your book off with the statement that “your marriage reflects your relationship with Christ.” I agree, but can you explain what you share in your book on that topic?
This next part is especially important. What submission does NOT mean?
You also share that when problems in marriage arise, there is usually an underlying spiritual problem as well. How can we be on the lookout for those things before they can have time to fester and become dangerous?

Improv to Improve Healthcare Dr. Candy Campbell pt 2 Dr. Candace Campbell is a multifaceted person in just about every way you can think of. She is a career nurse with so many designations after her name, I could not even begin to explain them. She is as author, a producer of documentary films and an improv actor with some pretty intriguing, one person shows that she mainly uses in key note presentations at health care conferences. And in one of them, she portrays, probably the most famous nurse ever – Florence Nightingale. And we definitely will be talking about that.
Dr. Campbell has recently released a new book titled, https://amzn.to/3uDnrFi (“Improv to Improve Healthcare: A System for Creative Problem Solving.”)
Tell us why you do what you do…
I’ve been saving this for last because I know many of our listeners will know who we are going to talk about. You developed a solo presentation as, probably one of the most famous nurses in the world, “Florence Nightingale – Live!”
Why did you pick her to portray in your show?
You go all out in this. You dress in the time period fashion. But you just do not deliver a monologue and leave it at that. You also interact with the audience and take questions. Your website says, “What would Florence Nightingale say about healthcare today and what advice would she give?” Do you only perform this for health care related audiences?
Florence Nightingale was a very spiritual woman, right? Can you share some insight into that area of her life?
Let’s talk about your book, https://amzn.to/3uDnrFi (“Improv to Improve Healthcare: A System for Creative Problem Solving.”) Improv is often thought of as just a “funny show.” But you are taking it far deeper than just the “funny” part. Why you believe this book is so needful right now?
In today’s chaotic hospital settings, what with COVID and staff shortages, etc., how can improv training assist with the day to day pressures healthcare professionals are facing?
Candy, this has all been so fascinating. How can someone get a copy of your book https://amzn.to/3uDnrFi (“Improv to Improve Healthcare: A System for Creative Problem Solving.”)? Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or maybe have you come out and speak to their group, business or conference, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
Folks, Dr. Candy Campbell has poured her life into helping others, especially in a hospital setting, but communication techniques like she teaches can be used in many, many settings. Business, ministry or even personal relationships, if you get down to it. Office settings, etc.
You need to get a copy of this book, https://amzn.to/3uDnrFi (“Improv to Improve Healthcare: A System for Creative Problem Solving.”) right now. Just drop down into the show notes and click the links right there. Order two or three copies and pass them out to friends and co-workers. And get in touch with Candy, if you are a business, especially a health care related business – you need to book her right now for your next conference.
Just use the links down below and get in touch with Dr. Candy Campbell today. And be sure to order her book! Amen!
Candy, it was such a pleasure to have you come on the program today. It’s not every day I can say I was able to talk to “Florence Nightingale.” Amen! CONTACT INFORMATION: https://amzn.to/3uDnrFi ()

First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Dr. Candace Campbell?”
Let’s start with how you ended up becoming a nurse. You’re not the usual, high school to college to nursing career. Share with us that round-about way you became a nurse…
What area of nursing did you decide to specialize in?
Did your experience in your prior career help you in your nursing career?
I found my military training helped me as well, like in law enforcement and dealing with people when they are not really at their best. That’s helped me in ministry as well. It is really amazing how God can orchestrate our lives to be a blessing to someone almost every step of the way – and teach us things that we can use later in life in ways to continue to be blessings…
Tell us about your first documentary. It was about “Micro-premature Babies: How Low Can You Go.” What made you decide it was needed?
You have appeared, yourself, on stage, on screen, in commercials, on TV. You’ve done voice overs and all of that. And that is in addition to your career as a nurse in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit! Then, you started your own production company to make your documentaries and developed not one, not two, but THREE solo shows for your talks! Do you ever rest?

The Beauty In Us Nelson Brown pt 2 We live in a world that is often very harsh, critical and often shaped by “first impressions.” You will often hear others, or may even say yourself from time to time, “She looks like a nice person.” Or, “He looks mean.”
My guest today is Nelson Brown, and he has experienced these things first hand while growing up.
Nelson has been on our show in the past a few times, as he was releasing his first book, “The Beauty In Us: Our Reality.” If you missed any of Nelson’s prior interviews, just look him up in the archives search feature. Amen!
Nelson is young black man that loves the Lord and he really has a lot of great things going on in his life! Amen! He is on a journey to help boys and girls, men and women, to discover who they are and how beautiful they truly are.
In his books, he speaks on behalf of all the men and young boys located in communities around the world who are afraid to speak up for themselves. He is also willing to show women and young girls how males carry their insecurities with them each and every day and how they tend to suppress those insecurities in public.
Nelson Brown is a small group facilitator and an award winning author who has released three books in the series, “The Beauty In Us” so far and he is working on the fourth as we speak! Praise God!
Nelson is the host of “The Beauty In Us Radio Show” that airs every Tuesday evening from 6-7pm ET on the “Awesome God Radio” network. This show gives young black men a voice on subjects that matter to them.
The radio program is based off of your book series. Tell us the format and what the discussions are like…
You also discuss problems in the health care industry on your show. Tell us a little about what those discussion have centered around for your audience?
How about education. I know Baltimore City has been under a huge microscope these last several years around the failing public schooling system. What kind of discussions have you had with others that were addressing those issues?
You talk about family values and pop culture. Can you share with us some of the problems you have discussed with some of your guests concerning these topics?
What is the process for a single adult male to be part of the adoption process?
You also talk about philanthropy on your program. What kinds of philanthropy are you involved in?
Your books have won a few awards along the way. Can you tell us about the awards you have won for your books?
Nelson, this has been great catching up with you. I want to make sure that someone can listen to your radio program. Can you give us the information again on how to hear your radio program?
Your books, they are all available on Amazon, correct?
I’ll put links to each book down in the show notes.
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question, maybe be a guest on your radio program or anything like that… how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
Folks, I’ve known Nelson now for, I think it’s going on three of four years now, brother! Praise God. He’s been consistent. He’s been working for the Kingdom since I’ve known him and even before. His books are awesome and I want to encourage you get your copies of each of his books today. I know you know someone who will be blessed by Nelson’s book series, “The Beauty In Us.” It does not only apply to black men. It does not only apply to women. It applies to each person who has experienced any kind of “preconceived misconceptions” from others. This is the true pandemic in our society. One that is not discussed that often. One that plagues people at all age levels and from every social demographic. Nelson Brown is confronting this issue head on and I believe he is speaking for thousands of people every time he gets behind that microphone or releases another book.
I encourage you to go down into the show notes and order Nelson’s books right now. They are not that expensive....

The last time we talked, you were in Community College. I think I seen where you had graduated, tell us about that and what you are doing now?
In our last interview, just to catch people up on what we were talking about, you discussed “Male Body Dysmorphia.” What is that and how does it relate to your books and to what you have been doing?
I remember we were supposed to do a book signing at the community college together and then it was cancelled due to the pandemic. Have you been able to get any book signings in since all of this started?

Leadership Ten – Mark Noon Leadership Ten – Mark Noon pt 2 Mark Noon is a 20+ year, retired Air Force Major where he was a key leader in building cultural and leadership transformation within the Air Force medical community. Following his retirement, Mark brought his operational and service excellence expertise to the Studer Group and now, in Leadership 10. He has coached and spoken before more than 270 organizations in 43 states about Leadership Development.
Leadership Ten is an organization helping leaders, typically between the ages of 25-40 and living in the Florida Panhandle area, in business development and leadership.
This is part two of a great two part interview!
What are the three types of leadership development training that you offer?
Individual; Team; Executive
I notice one of the areas is decision making and critical thinking. I love that. I know the great leaders I served under emphasized to gather as much information as possible in the time you have, then process it and make the decision. My hero, in the Cav, was studying General George Patton, Jr. He once said, “A good decision implement now is better than a perfect solution tried later.” What type of training and training scenarios does Leadership Ten use to teach your students “Critical Thinking and Decision Making?”
How does Leadership Ten emphasize the importance of “Retaining Key Talent” in the organizations of the people you are helping?
This works, not just for subordinates, but for aspiring leaders as well. It is so important to learn the roles of the next position you desire to achieve. Does this flow into the area of “Leadership Next Level” training that you teach?
Explain to us what “Generational Leadership” is in the L10 model?
You offer both, in person and virtual events, correct?
When someone contacts your organization, wanting to join the next cohort, what are the processes involved in being selected and approved for the training?
For those that are not selected, do you refer them to other organizations or are they told to reapply later? What is the follow up on that?
You mentioned earlier that you have a book. What is the book about?
https://amzn.to/3FGpCts (SET UP) - Is it on Amazon?
How is your organization supported?
Mark, I could talk to you for hours. I love talking leadership and leadership development, especially with someone that has a military background. I’ve got to try and keep it simple and straightforward as some of our listeners would not understand if went off into military jargon…
But if someone wanted to reach out to you and ask for more information about Leadership Ten and the training, etc. that you offer, how can they do get in touch with you?
I’ll put the links to that down in the show notes below.
Folks, leadership starts with the individual. It starts before the individual becomes a leader. It starts with the basics. It builds upon experiences. It builds upon the experiences of those that are teaching you. They can share strategies and ideas they have learned over the years. They can also share mistakes they have made. I’ve learned more from mistakes than I have from successes. And when someone is able to impart to you years, decades, of experience in just a few short months – your learning curve is impacted dramatically. You can’t help but become a better leader in whatever it is you are trying to do.
But, every leader must make the most important decision they could ever make. That decision is to seek advice from someone who can help them become a “better leader.”
Mark Noon and his partners at Leadership Ten are doing just that. They are making themselves available to help the next generation of business and non-profit leaders become, for lack of a better phrase, to become “All that can be.” Sorry Mark, for injecting that Army recruiting slogan in there… amen!
But I urge you to reach out and get in touch with Mark and his team at Leadership Ten. Just...
Leadership Ten – Mark Noon pt 1 Mark Noon is a 20+ year, retired Air Force Major where he was a key leader in building cultural and leadership transformation within the Air Force medical community. Following his retirement, Mark brought his operational and service excellence expertise to the Studer Group and now, in Leadership 10. He has coached and spoken before more than 270 organizations in 43 states about Leadership Development.
Leadership Ten is an organization helping leaders, typically between the ages of 25-40 and living in the Florida Panhandle area, in business development and leadership.
First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Mark Noon?”
Tell us about Leadership Ten. How and when did it start and what is the purpose of what you do?
You make a distinction between developing THE LEADER and “Leadership Development.” Can you explain that for us?
I have, like you, basically studied and participated in military leadership development for many years. I did twelve years in the Army, leaving as a commissioned Cavalry officer way back in 1989…but ended up retiring in 2011 from Law Enforcement.
How did your military training prepare you for civilian leadership and your calling to pass on this skill set to the future business leaders that your organization helps today?
Tell us about the L10 Communication Model…
What are the three types of leadership development training that you offer?
Individual; Team; Executive
I notice one of the areas is decision making and critical thinking. I love that. I know the great leaders I served under emphasized to gather as much information as possible in the time you have, then process it and make the decision. My hero, in the Cav, was studying General George Patton, Jr. He once said, “A good decision implement now is better than a perfect solution tried later.” What type of training and training scenarios does Leadership Ten use to teach your students “Critical Thinking and Decision Making?”
When I’ve spoken on Team Building at various conferences, I’ve emphasized the need to train and develop the talent and resources, the people, you currently have. I use the military system of leadership development of allowing the people who work under to take on small projects and allow them to identify and develop solutions on their own instead of “telling them” what to do.
Folks, leadership starts with the individual. It starts before the individual becomes a leader. It starts with the basics. It builds upon experiences. It builds upon the experiences of those that are teaching you. They can share strategies and ideas they have learned over the years. They can also share mistakes they have made. I’ve learned more from mistakes than I have from successes.

End It For Good Christina Dent pt 2 We are well aware that drug addictions are, basically, a pandemic in our society today. It is not only a problem in major metropolitan cities, but it literally crosses all social and economic boundary’s.
I know. I was addicted to pain killers a few back after almost 7 years of use. My father had a drug problem. One of my brothers as well.
As a police officer, I also arrested my share of people that was found to be in possession of drugs. Drugs of various kinds. I also have seen that a policy of “lock them up” does not mean they are able to get “cleaned up.” Many times, these things are still available IN the prison system. Many times, these people get released and go right back to what they’ve always known. The same neighborhoods and friends and environment. There has been rehabilitation offered, or at least no rehabilitation that really made a difference.
My guest today in Christina Dent, the founder and president of “End It For Good,” a 501-c-3 non-profit formed in 2019. Christina Dent is a politically conservative Christian, who supported criminalizing drugs, until she became a foster parent and saw up close the negative effects the current system was perpetuating on those who needed the most help. She researched why drug-related harm was not decreasing and she became convinced it was because the criminal justice system is simply the wrong tool to be used for addressing the drug problem
Christiana, you also referenced what the nation of Portugal did in their “war on drugs.” But they went about winning their war in a very different way than we have in the United States – and achieved a very different outcome. Tell us about that…
I can hear the voices now, “if we legalize drugs then everyone will be a drug addict.” But you believe it will be different. What would we need to put in place IF this nation took the approach the Portugal did with their drug epidemic?
I guess, Christiana, I was aware of what these drugs were doing to me. Gaining weight. Lethargic. Exhausted all of the time. That was motivation for me to stop. But that was me.
What do most people need to happen, in their life, for them to stop? The idea was, if we criminalize drugs, that will make people stop. Why doesn’t that work?
How does your organization try to bridge this gap?
Now, I also had my faith to back up my decision to stop. I prayed and stood on scripture and all of that. All night long - until I was finally so exhausted I might be able to fall asleep – even if it was only for a few minutes.
But what about those who do not have their faith to rely on? What can we, as a society to differently than “lock them up” in order to build stronger families, safer communities and thriving citizens?
Christina, this is so interesting. You and your organization are doing a marvelous work. I learned a lot from preparing for this interview as well as right now, just talking with you. I also believe our listeners have learned a lot as well and may now have new perspective of things.
If someone wanted to get in touch with you or your organization, maybe to check out your services, ask you to come speak or maybe just to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
Folks, the war on drugs was a good idea, just implemented in the wrong way. As Christina Dent has shared with us, we have fostered an environment that simply intensifies the dependency; intensifies the addictions and intensifies the mindset that it all must remain hidden.
We, as a nation and as communities, MUST change our mindset in order to effectively change the mindset of those who are truly being harmed. Those using the drugs themselves.
I’m in agreement with Christina, we need to relook at how we, as a nation, are trying to deal with this drug problem. We need to offer hope, not condemnation. I don’t know what the answer is. But, as Christina has so eloquently pointed...

She researched why drug-related harm was not decreasing and she became convinced it was because the criminal justice system is simply the wrong tool to be used for addressing the drug problem.
In 2017, she began hosting book discussions in her home state of Mississippi, using Johann Hari’s book “Chasing The Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs.” Those discussions grew into events with hundreds of people attending, which led to “End It For Good” being formed, which is now an education and advocacy organization that provides citizens with opportunities to learn about the root causes of drug harms like crime, addiction, and overdose deaths, and consider alternatives to the punitive approach we've used for decades.
Christina is a writer, TEDx speaker, and perpetual question asker. She grew up in a conservative, Christian home and earned a degree in Biblical Studies with an emphasis in Christian Ministry from Belhaven University.
Help me welcome to the program, Christina Dent. Christina, thank you for taking the time to come on our program today. I do appreciate it.
First question. Other than that brief information I just provided, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Christina Dent?”
Let’s back up. Prior to 2014, you had a certain view of how the world worked and some preconceived ideas of what was needed to fix the drug problem in America. Can you share that Christina Dent back then, what she saw and how she viewed the role of the criminal justice system at that time?
And then, in 2014, what happened to begin to change your perspective on things?"
Your TEDx talk was awesome. I’ll be putting a link to it down below in the show notes so our listeners can access it. You hit on some very dramatic points.
I loved how you did the comparison of the war on drugs with prohibition in this nation back in the early 1900’s. Can you briefly go over that for our listeners?
You discussed how people, for lack of a better term, smuggle alcohol into sporting events. I never thought of that in the terms you shared in your TEDx talk. Can you share how that analogy also relates to the drug problem we are seeing on our streets today?
You also referenced what the nation of Portugal did in their “war on drugs.” But they went about winning their war in a very different way than we have in the United States – and achieved a very different outcome. Tell us about that
Folks, the war on drugs was a good idea, just implemented in the wrong way. As Christina Dent has shared with us, we have fostered an environment that simply intensifies the dependency; intensifies the addictions and intensifies the mindset that it all must remain hidden.

The Secret Weapon of the Smartest Marketers Marco Torres pt 2 https://www.marketingboost.com/#a_aid=61df2e73d2f25 ()Whether you are in ministry or retail; counseling or coaching; online sales or traditional retail – you are marketing. You are marketing your church, your ministry, your store, your products, your books. You are marketing your brand. You are marketing yourself in the process.
How well you handle this responsibility will determine your success.
I’ve seen pastors of churches, some that have been around for decades, still struggle to have 25 people in attendance on Sunday mornings. I’ve seen others set up in a coffee shop on Sunday morning and two years later are building a church building and paying cash for it. WHY?
The same thing can be said for someone working for themselves. In business, online or traditional. They may work for years, barely getting by. Someone else comes in and within a few months or so, they are the big player in town or in the niche online or whatever. WHY?
Well, it all revolves around marketing.
And to help us with understanding some of the nuances, is my guest today, Marco Torres.
Marco Torres is the Founder of MarketingBoost.com, he has helped thousands of business owners worldwide boost sales and scale their businesses by as much as 5-fold through the use of incentive-based marketing. He teaches entrepreneurs how to soar sales & marketing through the use of “Value-Add-Incentives” instead of discounts. His Facebook Group is home to more than 27,000 active business owners who are raking in sales with his advice and amazingly affordable subscription program.
I believe these concepts we will discuss today will apply, of course to businesses, coaching, etc., but it can also be applied to your ministry and church growth with just a few little tweaks.
This is part two of a great, two part interview with Marco Torres!
I know, in the online world, we offer “lead magnets” to draw people in with something of value in order to get their contact information so we can stay in touch with them with product offers, etc. Do lead magnets really work with this type of incentive?
Are these physical certificates or can they be emailed to the client, etc. online?
I want to make sure that our listeners are clear on this, is there no limit on the number of trip hotel vouchers or meal vouchers, etc. that they can give away?
And they do not have to pay for these items?
Can this be used to help convince clients to give reviews on your website, etc.?
This is for the hotel stay only. What’s the fine print? Taxes, fees, etc.?
Folks, there are so many areas that have come to my mind as we’ve been talking with Marco today. I can picture this helping many of you out there that have network marketing groups and coaching or consulting programs and things like that. Churches, ministries and non-profits can use them fund raising efforts and reward donors at different levels. Marco, I truly believe it is only limited by the imagination of the listener at this point, right?
I encourage you to go down into the show notes and reach out to Marco. Just try his technique and see if it works for your clients and your niche. What’s the worst case scenario? If it doesn’t generate more traffic or clients, you stop. As you heard, it’s not costing you much more than the monthly membership fee. Amen!
But the payoff could make an astronomical difference in what you are currently receiving in your business or ministry to what could be…amen!
Just go down and into the show notes and click the links right there.
Marco, my friend, I do appreciate your time in coming on the program and sharing about this unique opportunity. I pray our listeners would take you up on this great opportunity you have shared with us today. It can be used across almost every niche – even churches and non-profits! That’s what I love about it.

Help me welcome to the program, Marco Torres! Marco – thank you for coming on the program today to share all about “Marketing Boost” and all that you do. I appreciate you taking the time to join us today.
First question that I always start with is this… other than that brief introduction I just gave, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Marco Torres?”
I know that most businesses are trying to compete with each other and the way they usually do that is to try and undercut their competitors’ prices and things like that. But you have a better way called “Incentive Based Marketing.”
What is incentive base marketing and how does that compare to what most business owners, etc. are doing to generate revenue?
How does “Marketing Boost” help businesses to use Value Added Incentives to keep their bottom line up instead of discounting and losing profits on their sales?
So “Value Added Incentives” isn’t like upgrading the tires on the car (if in auto sales). It’s something totally outside of the product sales effort but yet, something the client would deem valuable?
How do you do that?
Complimentary Hotel Stays, how does this work?
Are these well know hotels chains or little mom and pop operations?
Let’s say someone listening to us is interested in trying this. Do they have to purchase, like a three night stay in Hawaii and then give that away to a client?
So you not only have the hotel vouchers, but meal vouchers and things like that as well?
Folks, there are so many areas that have come to my mind as we’ve been talking with Marco today. I can picture this helping many of you out there that have network marketing groups and coaching or consulting programs and things like that. Churches, ministries and non-profits can use them fund raising efforts and reward donors at different levels.

SENTIENT BEINGS Tom Donnan pt 1 There is no doubt we are living in trying times. No doubt we are living in days which are described in the Bible. Pestilences (COVID). Wars and rumors of war (Russia, China, Iran vs Israel and the United States). Jesus said “lawlessness will be rampant” in the last days. Today, we have district attorneys in major metropolitan cities that refuse to misdemeanor crimes, zero bail for arrestees. Defund the police. You name it. This is the day and time in which we live.
Our guest today is our good friend, Tom Donnan. Tom comes on every month or so to bring us up to date with news and trends going on in society and how all of this relates to Bible Prophecy.
I remember, back in the 1970’s, they were trying to bring computer automation into the automobile assembly lines. It was being met with protests, walk outs, labor strikes, etc., because the workers believed these computers would replace workers. They were promised, “No, no… it will only make your jobs easier…”
But now, with the development of artificial intelligence, these things are being developed TO replace people… correct?
I saw something about a robot being developed, using this artificial intelligence stuff, that is almost humanlike in appearance and mannerisms. Did you see this thing?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=BpnnD_0IlbE (The Most Realistic Humanoid Robot Yet (Ameca) - YouTube)
Speaking of COVID and government mandates, have you seen all of these protests overseas about vaccination passports? That goes, as we’ve said before, step by step to getting us accustomed to the “Mark of the Beast.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQoaLgJgXHA (Mass protests against Covid restrictions in European cities - BBC News - YouTube)
Did you see the video by Pastor John Kilpatrick where discusses this may be what leads to the appearance of the anti-Christ?
Everything he talked about, as far as I’m concerned, he was spot on. We, as humanity, are about to witness the greatest deception yet. And, as he said, “if possible, it will even deceive the very elect.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NN9BtHTa6M&t=3032s (Special Guest Speaker - Pastor John Kilpatrick - YouTube)
It’s starting to come out now that the lies of the government metrics are being called bogus. The “15 days of shutdown to stop the spread” then moved to “30 days to stop the spread.” Then it was “90 days to stop the spread” to “get your vaccination to stop the spread.” Now, we are told, “vaccinations don’t stop the spread – it stops the death.”
But yet, they are insisting everyone get, not one, not two, not even three…now they are saying a FOURTH shot may be “required.”
What do you think about all of this and how it relates to the end times?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=2C62-RdooPc (Megyn Kelly on the COVID Truth That's Starting to Come Out Now | The Megyn Kelly Show - YouTube)
We hardly ever get together without discussing, in some form or fashion, things happening, as the bible says, “in the Heavens.” We’re talking about space.
Recently, they deployed the James Webb Space Telescope so they can look back 13+ billion years to the “creation.” Once again, just like the “Tower of Babel,” we have men trying to reach Heaven without God. Can it be any wonder we are in the mess we are. God is not going to bless a people that deny Him.
Have you seen that NASA has now hired 24 “theologians” to discuss how we should react to the appearance of “alien life.”

Tom, this has, once again, been a fascinating session with you, my friend. If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or maybe to do an interview like this… how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put that down in the show notes.
Folks, don’t be...

Tom, thanks for coming back on the program and I’m looking forward to chatting about some of the things which are pointing to the soon return of Jesus.
It seems we are always talking about natural disasters. Volcanic activity, earthquakes, hurricanes, etc. But did you see that devastating fire out in Colorado recently? 120 MPH+ winds?
Some of those areas are so dry, it’s like a literal tinderbox. One spark and look at what happens! And one of the reasons is lack of rain and snow. I can’t remember the actual totals, but a California lake, the area usually has something six or eight feet of snow every year and the last few years they only received inches of snow and the lakes are all dry, etc. Even though it was not dealing with Colorado, it’s all the same thing. No rain, no moisture creates very dry fire conditions.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJ35HGJhYdQ (Dangerous Wildfires Tear Through Colorado Neighborhoods - YouTube)
Speaking of water, did you see how states are now trying to make legal grabs of water rights? The video I seen said it was the first steps in taking the land as the state could make it illegal for farmers to water their crops or water their cattle, etc.
This will cause the farmers, ranchers, etc. to sell their land and property, just to get out from under the pressure. Which is the goal of those behind the big reset we are hearing even our government leaders claiming to be implementing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8qInSgI6Ss (🚨: All Idaho residents need to see this. You will lose your water. - YouTube)
Have you heard about this? I think it was Glen Beck that was talking about where houses, land, etc. is being bought up by investment groups? Sometimes in excess of $75K over, OVER, the fair market value of the homes?
He made reference to the industrial age, from about 1850 to 1950. And how the technological age is going to be like shoving the entire industrial revolution in the years between 1850 to the start of the Civil War in 1860. Imagine living in 1850, farming, growing crops…that was your life, and waking up ten years later where cars, industry, huge cities, etc. are what you are experiencing? People would be totally out of place…

Pretty soon, the only place we are going to be able live and function is in this new metaverse that Facebook is part of developing. That’s probably the only place anyone will be able to own anything. But not for long. Did you see that, once again, an investment company went in and bought over $2 million dollars’ worth of “land” – a bunch of zero’s and one’s in computer language. But it’s VIRTUAL land. As Paul Bagley is famous for saying, “ARE YOU KIDDING ME?”

For This Child I Have Prayed RL Shawver pt 3 One of the most difficult things to face as a parent is to know your child is sick – and there is nothing you can do to “fix” the problem. I’m not discounting this situation with mothers – and I’ve interviewed a few mom’s on this program who have faced health problems with their children. But I can relate to how a father looks at this situation.
Men, inherently, want to “fix things” that are wrong – and to make them right. We want to bear the burden if it means our family is ok. That’s just wired in us.
One of the most important things we can do, both mothers and fathers, is learn how battle the devil on a spiritual level. Yes, he is attacking us or our family in the natural while this is happening…but the Spiritual always – ALWAYS – overcomes the natural when we rest in Christ. Amen!
My guest today had to face this type of battle himself. He had to find a way to fight for his son, who was born with, not one, but TWO heart defects. Failing heart valves and a rapid pulse called SVT. The doctors had not faced a situation like this with these two issues at the same time in such a young infant.
Over the course of 18 months, he endured 6 open heart surgeries.
RL Shawver authored a book describing his son’s ordeal but how his faith also grew exceedingly strong throughout this experience, titled, “https://amzn.to/32rgFab (For This Child I Have Prayed: 6 Heart Surgeries in 18 Months.” )
This is the conclusion of a great three part interview with RL Shawver!
After the third surgery, you were wondering if it was possible for you to just “lay claim to any promise in the Bible.” What was sparking those thoughts and how did you settle that question in your spirit?
God is true and the devil is a liar, right? Praise God!
What do you have to say to parents who may be going through a health challenge for their children – or for anyone who may be facing an attack like this in their family?
Your book is a word of encouragement, even for those who may not have a health challenge. I am sent books all the time to read prior to interviews. I’m very good at skimming through them and grasping on different points to discuss in the interview. But your book was more than that. I actually READ your book, from beginning to end. I believe everyone, it doesn’t matter if they are facing a health challenge or not – their faith will be strengthened just by reading your book.
RL, how can someone obtain a copy of your book, https://amzn.to/32rgFab (“For This Child I Have Prayed: 6 Heart Surgeries in 18 Months?”) Is it available on Amazon?
Folks, what RL and his wife, Stephanie and little Samuel, and their entire family, Isaiah, the grandparents and everyone, have endured cannot be measured or described with words. But, it is THE WORD that brought them through. God is True. Every promise in the Word of God is True. Every word that is contrary to THE WORD of God is a lie. RL Shawver, his family, myself and my family and others, who have endured, faced down and overcome adversity and attacks by the forces of darkness by standing on the Word of God – we have this down so deep in our hearts a pry bar would break in two before we would give up on God. You can have that same kind of Faith. Just get into the Word of God for yourself. Don’t rely on any one person’s interpretation. READ IT YOURSELF. Amen!
And I highly, HIGHLY, want to recommend RL Shawver’s book, https://amzn.to/32rgFab (“For This Child I Have Prayed: 6 Heart Surgeries in 18 Months.”) Even if you do not have issues like we have discussed today, this book will bless you and increase your faith. If you are facing issues, health issues, whatever – and especially if it is involving your family members – you absolutely need to read this book! Amen!

This is part two of what ended up as a great three part interview!
How did you handle the fear at this point?
You share in your book how these doctors are performing, basically, miraculous surgeries on a daily basis. I think that goes right along with what we said a few minutes ago. Where there is a calling to be a doctor just as there is a calling to be in ministry, right?
Every time Samuel was undergoing a surgery, you would journal scripture quotes. Scriptures that meant something to you. I know your friend, Jake, had sent you several scriptures and the names of some books to read. How did these books help you to prepare mentally and spiritually for these huge ordeals?
After the second surgery, you were inspired to pray SPECIFICALLY for each step of the recovery process. In your book, you say the results happened swiftly. How did these victories minister to you as to your spiritual authority in the eyes of God?
After the third surgery, you were wondering if it was possible for you to just “lay claim to any promise in the Bible.” What was sparking those thoughts and how did you settle that question in your spirit?

For This Child I Have Prayed RL Shawver pt 1 One of the most difficult things to face as a parent is to know your child is sick – and there is nothing you can do to “fix” the problem. I’m not discounting this situation with mothers – and I’ve interviewed a few mom’s on this program who have faced health problems with their children. But I can relate to how a father looks at this situation.
Men, inherently, want to “fix things” that are wrong – and to make them right. We want to bear the burden if it means our family is ok. That’s just wired in us.
One of the most important things we can do, both mothers and fathers, is learn how battle the devil on a spiritual level. Yes, he is attacking us or our family in the natural while this is happening…but the Spiritual always – ALWAYS – overcomes the natural when we rest in Christ. Amen! I’ve got experiences I could share that prove that out.
My guest today had to face this type of battle himself. He had to find a way to fight for his son, who was born with, not one, but TWO heart defects. Failing heart valves and a rapid pulse called SVT. The doctors had not faced a situation like this with these two issues at the same time in such a young infant.
Over the course of 18 months, he endured 6 open heart surgeries.
RL Shawver authored a book describing his son’s ordeal but how his faith also grew exceedingly strong throughout this experience, titled, “https://amzn.to/32rgFab (For This Child I Have Prayed: 6 Heart Surgeries in 18 Months.” )
To discuss his walk of Faith and how his Faith grew stronger through this ordeal, help me welcome to the program, RL Shawver.
First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is RL Shawver?”
In the opening of you book, you say something that I’ve been sharing for years. Sometimes, people are reluctant to go to the doctors because they believe it will show “lack of faith” on their part. But you said, “God gives us the power to make money. He also gives the doctors insight and wisdom to heal.” Amen! Just like a person is “called” into ministry, I believe doctors, and lawyers and plumbers and electricians, etc. – they are all CALLED into those fields. I appreciate you putting that right there in the beginning of your book!
You grew up as a Christian…but something happened at age 15 that made you take that seriously. What was that?
Can you share with us about your “crab apple tree” experience? I found that to be very insightful and I believe our listeners will gain a lot from it…
Let’s also lay the groundwork for the faith battle you were about to face. I read about you being tasked with choosing a name for your son. Tell us about that and how you chose the name Samuel…
Once Samuel was born, how long was it before the doctors told you something was wrong?
Your business mentor, Jake, was also a spiritual mentor for you as well, correct? How was his faith able to help your faith when your son had to have his first heart surgery?
I want to recommend RL Shawver’s book, https://amzn.to/32rgFab (“For This Child I Have Prayed: 6 Heart Surgeries in 18 Months.”) Even if you do not have issues like we have discussed today, this book will bless you and increase your faith. If you are facing issues, health issues, whatever – and especially if it is involving your family members – you absolutely need to read this book! Amen!

The S.A.G.E. Mindset Kyle Gillette pt 1 Leadership. That means different things to different people. Military leadership is organized to accomplish any assigned mission. Business leadership is actually the same thing – the success of your business – whatever that business may be.
But, just as great military leaders are made and not born, true success in business requires commitment to your leadership style, technique and personality. Just because someone is a business owner or business executive does not automatically make them a great business leader.
In order for military personnel to develop into leadership material, they must have great leaders themselves. They need to be mentored. A brand new private who just graduated basic training is not put in charge of an infantry division for a major battle. No matter how good that private may think he is, it just will not work.
Just because you have a great idea to start your own business does not mean you are qualified to be called a great leader. You need someone to mentor you along the path to success as well.
That’s where my guest today comes in the picture…
Kyle Gillette grew up on an orange farm in the Central Valley of California where he discovered the importance of hard work and what it's like to be a son in a family-owned business and what it takes to run one. His journey ultimately took him away from oranges and into people-oriented industries. But his passion for helping leaders boutique/small businesses succeed has always stayed with him.
Which is why he left the corporate world behind and started his own personal coaching business. He has created the S.A.G.E. Mindset Leadership framework for business leaders. He is certified as a John Maxwell Certified Life coach and is certified through the International Coach Federation (or ICF). In addition, he is the host of the SAGE Mindset Podcast – Praise God!
I know, for many pastors and ministry leaders, they are doing almost everything themselves. Not so much for the larger churches. But for the majority of churches and ministries, it is either them, by themselves or perhaps one or two others helping out. I guess this would apply to small business owners as well – but how can they accomplish more with what limited resources they have?
What are some of the steps to harnessing our leadership strengths?
You teach others something that you call, “A Cadence of Accountability.” What is that?
How long have you been doing your podcast, “The Sage Mindset Podcast?”
This is an interview podcast. Who do you interview?
What is your book titled and when will it be published?
Kyle, this has truly been an interesting conversation. As you can tell, my background is in leadership, as a military officer and as a law enforcement supervisor. I truly am impressed by what you are doing to help others develop their leadership skills.
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question, obtain more information or maybe even to do an interview such as this or listen to your podcast, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
And you have a free assessment on your website which they can take, correct?
I’ll put links to all of this down in the show notes.
Folks, in this day and time in which we live, with all that is happening right now in this country and around the world, you do not have the time to learn by “trial and error.” It just will not work like that anymore.
I highly encourage you to get in touch with Kyle Gillette. Even if you do not own a business – he can help you in becoming better in leadership in whatever position you are in right now, working for another business or for a corporation. You can progress through the ranks for whatever your calling truly is. But you cannot do that if you do not understand the mental processes involved in getting you there.

Grab a pen and note pad and help me welcome to the program, Kyle Gillette!
Kyle, thank you for taking the time to join us today!
First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Kyle Gillette?”
Let’s back up a bit…
You were in the corporate arena. But something happened that made you change your priorities and take the plunge into starting your own business. What happened and why did you think that would be the best solution for you, personally?
You shared with me that you had rather impactful dream that you believe God gave to you. Can you share with us about that?
So, what exactly is a SAGE Mindset?
As I shared, just because someone is a business owner – or wants to be a business owner – does not immediately make them a leader. They may be in a leadership position, but they are basically learning by doing. What can someone do to start the process of becoming a better leader?
I know, and this includes me as well, that time management is really one of the most troublesome areas to manage. I’ve been doing this awhile and there are still things that pop up that just throw my schedule for a loop. For the most part, I’ve got it under control. But I’ve also been doing this for 11 years.
How can someone who is just starting out manage their time more efficiently?
A lot of folks are small business owners, even solopreneurs. And that is where accountability is really lacking. I mean, for a lot of folks, being the business owner means doing what you want. But that is really not the best path to follow. How do you help your clients be accountable for their actions?
Can this training help pastors, church leaders and ministry leaders?

The Christian Case for Bitcoin Patrick Melder pt 2 https://amzn.to/3prC3ET ()There is no doubt that crypto-currency is here to stay. In fact, it is taken so serious by the United States Government, they are now requiring tax payers to declare if you are investing in Bitcoin and other crypto-currencies so they can get their share of your earnings!
You often hear of how crypto-currencies are going to undermine the financial systems and how they are used on the dark web and things like that. And, though some of that may be true, for the vast majority of people, it is simply a way to invest in something that, for lack of a better term, does not involve “fiat currency” – which is what the US Dollar is based on.
To explain how Christian ministries and Christians in general, can use Bitcoin to help establish, maintain and protect ministry operations – and our own personal finances, I’ve invited back to the program, Dr. Patrick Melder.
Dr. Melder was on the show a few weeks ago as we discussed “Bitcoin for Churches.” His book, https://amzn.to/3prC3ET (“The Christian Case for Bitcoin”)was set for publication and we did discuss his book in the overall conversation. But I believe this information is so pivotal in our society and culture today, I wanted him to come back on and just do a deep dive into this book for you. Amen!
He also hosts a weekly podcast: https://mission-bitcoin.captivate.fm/ (“Mission:Bitcoin,”) which is an interview podcast focusing on Bitcoin and Christianity, exploring Christian responsibility in adopting Bitcoin; How Bitcoin helps Christians align with God’s plan; and How Bitcoin can be used in Christian Missions.
This is part two of an amazing two part interview and I know you will receive a lot of actionable content from today's episode.
You also have a section discussing money and our culture. You used a formula to explain this with Money = Time = Energy. Can you explain how all of this correlates to our current economy?
Some of the concerns that I’ve heard given, concerning Bitcoin and crypto-currency in general, is the security of the transactions. That it’s possible for someone to hack in and just drain your account and other things related to that. Is that true?
Is it possible that someone, somewhere, perhaps the person (or persons) who invented Bitcoin, “Satoshi Nakamoto” or someone else, just “flip a switch” and all the Bitcoin disappears in an instant. Maybe even the government. Is that possible?
The focus of your book is on https://amzn.to/3prC3ET (“The Christian Case for Bitcoin.” ) You share that “fire, the wheel, the printing press, the steam engine, electricity and then computers” were the greatest inventions of man. You explain that each was used to expand God’s Kingdom. You believe that Bitcoin is now the latest and the greatest invention and believe that it will transform society as we know it. You also state that, “…the use of Bitcoin is in complete alignment with God’s Truth,” and that “It is the first money that could aptly be called “God’s money.” Can you explain this for us?
How will Bitcoin be used in buying, saving, etc. like currency when dealing with stores, other nations, even our retirement savings, etc. How is all of this going to play out in the grand scheme of things?
It’s also possible for someone to mine their own Bitcoin, right?
Can Christian ministries accept Bitcoin as part of their operations?
Tell us about your podcast, https://mission-bitcoin.captivate.fm/ (“Mission: Bitcoin”) and what you discuss on your show…
Patrick, this has been so interesting, I could keep on going for hours. But we are about out of time for today. Your book, https://amzn.to/3prC3ET (“The Christian Case for Bitcoin”),” how can someone obtain a copy of this book? Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or maybe do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put...

Dr. Patrick Melder was a US Army doctor for 13 years at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC as well as a private practice Ear, Nose and Throat surgeon after serving in the military. He holds over 30 US and international patents and is passionate about the Great Commission of spreading the Gospel to the ends of the earth…
He also hosts a weekly podcast: https://mission-bitcoin.captivate.fm/ (“Mission:Bitcoin,”) which is an interview podcast focusing on Bitcoin and Christianity, exploring Christian responsibility in adopting Bitcoin; How Bitcoin helps Christians align with God’s plan; and How Bitcoin can be used in Christian Missions.
Help me welcome back to the program, Dr. Patrick Melder. Patrick, thank you for coming back on to discuss your great book today! I appreciate it!
Let’s start with a quick recap for those that may not have heard our prior interviews. In fact, folks, if you missed those episodes, just scroll down on our podcast archives to episodes 1016, 1017, 1018 – we had a three part interview and it was just off the charts. Amen!
But, Patrick, tell us how and why you first became interested in studying about Bitcoin…
Can you explain for us why the current financial system is in jeopardy?
I’ve seen reports that one of the reasons President Nixon took us off the gold standard was because French President Charles De Gaul started exchanging the US Dollars that were being distributed to his country directly for gold. Then other countries started doing the same.
In your book, you state, “In order to understand the implications of Bitcoin, we must understand what money is, how it has been manipulated for millennia, how it is manipulated now and how all of this affects Christians.”
But, we see the government borrowing money and with all of the “buy now and pay later” opportunities, it seems like debt is just a natural part of life today. But it is not supposed to be that way. The Bible is very clear that the “borrow is servant to the lender.” So debt is actually a form of slavery, right?
But our government is running up debt like it’s going out of style. If they run out, they just print more. And it says right on the dollar bills, “Backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America.” With all of the increasing debt we see happening, if this was a business or individual households, we’d be declaring bankruptcy and starting over, right?
Will that end up being the fate of the dollar?
I think we seen this type of thing happen a few years ago in Venezuela, right?
We know money is needful in society, for buying, selling, etc. But

Janice, your book, https://amzn.to/3nTdvn4 (“Journey to Your Calling,”) talks about the seven major progressions of Spiritual growth. Can you give us a synapsis of these seven and what they are?
You said that sometimes God’s promptings will not make sense. And you will not know the blessing you receive until you follow His prompting. Can you explain that for us?
David, in the Psalms, made it very clear that God was with Him in the midst of the storms. You also have referenced this in seeking what it is God wants to teach you or show in the midst of the storms. Can you talk about this in relation to shutting down your business to start your non-profit?
Did you have any experience in running a non-profit before?
Janice, this all so interesting. How can someone obtain a copy of your book, https://amzn.to/3nTdvn4 (“Journey to Your Calling – The Path to Receive the Desires of Your Heart?”) Is it available on Amazon?

The Overcomer – Dorsey Ross https://amzn.to/3IVz0fG ()Imagine a world where you were the one who was different from everyone else. A world where there was no “blending in with the crowd.” A world that is cruel. A world that is mean. A world where it is a daily challenge just to survive. A daily challenge just to live. A challenge to persevere. A world that say “you can’t.”
That is the world my guest has lived through for more then forty years. Dorsey Ross was a surprise when his parents were shocked to learn they were expecting. Well into their forties, they figured they were way past child bearing age, with two grown daughters already to their credit.
Then, once Dorsey was born, it was apparent that his was no ordinary birth. At birth, he was diagnosed with Apert Syndrome. This is a genetic disorder that causes abnormal shaping of the skull and face where the bones fuse together too early in fetal development.
The doctors recommended his parents put him into an institution and did not give him a very good prognosis for survival.
But, his parents were believers and trusted God could do anything. They would do what they could to help him, not only survive, but thrive in life. They never held him back from anything he wanted to achieve. In the process, they – and Dorsey himself – discovered there were very few things he could not do. Praise God!
But, life was not a bed of roses. There was bullying at school. Being called a monster; a freak, teasing. Not to mention numerous operations.
Dorsey has a motto that “can’t is not in his vocabulary.” For most of his life, he has never used the word “can’t.” He believes that, with God, “All things are possible to him who believes” and that he can “do all things through Christ who gives him strength.” Amen!
Dorsey is now a minister of the Gospel, an author and a PODCASTER – called, The Dorsey Ross Show! Praise God!
Dorsey has published a book detailing his life that is titled, appropriately, https://amzn.to/3IVz0fG (“Overcomer: Discovering God’s Plan Against All Odds.”)
Dorsey, other than that brief introduction I just gave, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Dorsey Ross?”
Although I know you don’t personally remember, but you probably have had the conversation with your parents about this… When did they first learn you were going to have “Apert Syndrome?”
I believe I read that you had 68 surgeries growing up?
How did this affect your childhood development?
What about friends? Especially in school?
Let’s talk about school. What was that like and how difficult was it when you had to confront this type of bias on a daily basis?
In your book, you discuss the bullying. How difficult was this for you during that time?
Certainly, there were times when you considered ending your life. What were those dark days like and how did the Lord lead you out of that kind of despair?
When did you realize you were being called into ministry?
But, you succeeded in graduating from high school and wanted to pursue college. But people, I guess you could say, “well intentioned people” were trying to dissuade you from attempting college, right?
Tell us what college life was like. Did the teasing, etc. continue, even in college?
How about the studies? Did you have difficulty with the actual classes?
You not only graduated from the community college, you continued on with your Bachelor program, too, right?
Now, you give talks, visit churches, do some public speaking. I’m sure your theme centers around something like “Look what the Lord can do!” type of talk, right?
Do you speak on bullying in any of schools?
Dorsey, I know your first edition of “Overcomer” was published several years ago. But you’ve recently updated it. Why did you write this book, https://amzn.to/3IVz0fG (“Overcomer?” )
Why did you feel the need to update it?
Tell us about your podcast, “The Dorsey Ross Show…”
It’s an interview based podcast, similar to...
Taking the Long View Dr. Roger Parrott pt 2 Each of us has a calling by God. Each of us has our own path we need to follow, designed by God. Each of us needs to understand that unique calling and strive to serve the Lord as best we can and to impact as many people with the Gospel as we can – no matter the calling.
To help folks in fulfilling their calling, we often pursue higher education in the process.
Our guest today is Dr. Roger Parrott, President of Belhaven University in Jackson, Mississippi, one of the fastest growing and most innovative colleges, serving over 5,000 students. Dr. Parrott was named among the 10 Most Visionary Education Leaders of 2021 by the Education Magazine. As one of the longest serving college presidents in America, Dr. Parrott is a fountain of knowledge for Christian parents and business leaders alike.
He is also the author of a couple of books, the latest release is titled, https://amzn.to/3rHFGIa (“The Longview: Lasting Strategies for Rising Leaders.”)
In your book, you discuss how, over the last 30 years or so, the expectation of business leaders has been short term profitability instead of the long term growth. You reference things like the dot-com bubble and the Mc-mansions that fueled the housing crisis.
This type of short term success driven policies has even influenced ministries and churches, correct?
I would venture to say that God had the “long term view” in mind when it came to spreading the Gospel around the world in the lead up for the return of the Lord.
How can we, as ministry leaders, turn this ship around and refocus our teams on the long term rather than short term gains? Especially when the short term gains are usually the easiest to measure?
In the opening to your book, https://amzn.to/3rHFGIa (“The Longview: Lasting Strategies for Rising Leaders,”) you describe an idea for a new reality show. I loved the example. Would you care to share this idea with our listeners? Perhaps some Hollywood producer is listening…
Well, Dr. Parrott, this is all so interesting. Your book, https://amzn.to/3rHFGIa (“The Longview: Lasting Strategies for Rising Leaders,”) how can someone obtain a copy of this book? Is it on Amazon?
How can someone get in touch with you?
I will put links to this down below in the show notes.
Folks, this has been a great and insightful interview. We definitely need to shift our focus, especially our Christian outreach focus, from short term gains, though they are important – but we need to keep our main focus on the future. The long term gains. A smaller short term gain will allow us to lay that solid foundation for huge long term gains. No matter the area of concern we are looking at.
I highly recommend Dr. Roger Parrott’s book, https://amzn.to/3rHFGIa (“The Longview: Lasting Strategies for Rising Leaders”) to you. You can go down into the show notes and order your copy today. Do it right now, while you are thinking about it. In fact, this would make a great gift for your pastor or a Christian who is operating a business. Praise God. Order two or three of Dr. Parrott’s book, https://amzn.to/3rHFGIa (“The Longview: Lasting Strategies for Rising Leaders,”) and sow them into their life. Amen!

First question I always ask is this. Other than that very brief information I just provided, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Roger Parrott?”
Dr. Parrott, there are a couple of things I would like to talk with you about today.
The first question I have, we see a lot of push going on right now in trying to provide free college for those that want to pursue further education. The reason is because graduating students are entering the workforce with a ton of student debt. What is the reason college tuition costs are so high?
Where would the money come from to pay the expenses if you cannot obtain the tuition from students?
You are not only one of the longest serving college presidents, but you were also one of the youngest when you first started at about the ripe old age of 34, correct?
How did you handle the job of leading faculty members who probably had been at the university for decades and you were probably younger than most of them?
Again, in your book, https://amzn.to/3rHFGIa (“The Longview: Lasting Strategies for Rising Leaders,”) why did you write this book at this time in your career?
I loved the part where you said that Toyota had implemented a long term plan over 50 years ago what is now being realized today: they surpassed GM and other US automakers. You also referenced that employees with the Japanese automakers are there for the long haul. We have shifted away from the “30 years with a pension and a gold watch” standard here in America. Is it too late for the culture of this country to shift and embrace the long term approach to anything?
But if there are changes that need to be implemented, how do you recommend a new leader proceed that would motivate the unofficial chain of command to accept the changes.
Belhaven University is one of only 35 schools in the world that has earned accreditation in all four of the primary Arts – Theatre, Music, Visual Art and Dance. In addition, other majors of Creative Writing, Graphic Design, Arts Administration and Film Production.
These things can be obtained at many colleges or universities. What is the value of a Christian college education? Why should parents – and, of course – students, consider a Christian University?
Some people do not understand what that accreditation really means. Can you explain that for us please?
In your book, https://amzn.to/3rHFGIa (“The Longview: Lasting Strategies for Rising Leaders,” )you discuss how, over the last 30 years or so, the expectation of business leaders has been short term profitability instead of the long term growth. You reference things like the dot-com bubble and the Mc-mansions that fueled the housing crisis.
This type of short term success driven policies has even influenced ministries and churches, correct?
I would venture to say that God had the “long term view” in mind when it came to spreading the Gospel around the world in the lead up for the return of the Lord.

Racing to Save Humanity Brandy Alexander https://amzn.to/3pn36Qj ()Many of us love a break from reality from time to time. Just to let ourselves go to get immersed in a crime drama on television or some fictional story. Of course, as Christians and being enlightened to be on guard, we also tend to lean more towards our roots. I guess that is why movies like “The Da Vinci Code” and “The Passion of Christ.”
But there are times I like to dive into a great book. Actually, I’m an avid reader. I enjoy reading and always have. And to find a suspenseful Christian novel is, well, for me – really entertaining. Especially when the novel is, shall we say, based on reality a bit.
Now, before you get all up in arms about “How can it be fiction and relate to reality?” type of attitude, let me just remind you about some shows on television that preface the show by saying something to the effect of “this show is not based on any events or real persons.” But yet, you would swear the story line came from a news event a few months back, right?
Well, that is what my guest has done with her new book. Brandy Alexander is the author of https://amzn.to/3pn36Qj (“Genesis: A Paranormal Alliance Destined to Fight the Powers of Darkness”) This book is a completely fictional story but set in a Christian story telling format that involves angels, demons and spirits. It is a fast paced thriller that will keep you turning the pages to find out what happens next. Amen!
Brandy Alexander grew up along the Texas Gulf Coast and found adventure and friendship within the pages of many different books. When she wasn’t swimming or exploring or pretending to be a teacher, she would spend days at a time lost in the fictional world of religious paranormal fantasy.
Brandy finished college and began teaching Art and Theatre and eventually English Language Arts and Reading and Writing. This was just a natural extension of her creative talents when she decided to put those talents to use writing her first novel. She is a devoted Christian who enjoys time with her husband and son.
First question. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Brandy Alexander?”
Tell us about where you grew up? It sounds like you had to find a lot of time entertaining yourself…
Why did you write this novel? What was the ultimate purpose in publishing it right now?
Tell us about this novel. I know it starts off with the main character, Clayton, losing his brother in a drowning accident. That leads to a unique, I guess we can call it, a “gift” that he discovers he has, right?
And now the crux of the story is about him working with some, other friends, I guess we could say, to do what?
Based upon this book, what is the relationship you are portraying between faith and our journey through life?
That also occurs in our very own lives. There are times when God is doing something and we don’t realize it is God until a lot later, right?
Clayton realizes that God is working in his life in ways he does not realize, right?
I don’t want you to give away the ending, but let me ask you this. Are there other books coming out that continue this story line? Like a series?
Brandy, this is all so interesting…
How can someone obtain a copy of your book, https://amzn.to/3pn36Qj (“Genesis: A Paranormal Alliance Destined to Fight the Powers of Darkness”) Is it on Amazon?
And if someone wanted to get in touch with you. To ask you a question or maybe do an interview such as this. How can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, like I said in the beginning, sometimes we just want to take seek a place where we can immerse ourselves and use our imagination to take a break from reality for a few minutes. That is why television is so popular. But the drawback is, it doesn’t allow you to USE your imagination. It plays out in living color...
Bite Size Devotions – Terry Nightingale Do you remember there was a time when the purpose for technology was to “give us more time” to do other, more important things? Like spending more time with the family?
I remember when they were bringing automation and computers into factories. There was a lot of push back from the workers who thought that management was just trying to eliminate their jobs.
Management and the technology industry rebutted that and said the reason for using new technology was to make our lives easier. We would not have to deal with repetitive tasks all day long. We could let the machines do it so we are not as tired when we go home. We can have a better quality product; a better quality life and better quality time with our family!
Let me just ask you, how’s that working out for you?
I constantly here (and am guilty of this, too) that “I’m so busy – it seems like I don’t have time to do anything extra…” Does that sound like you?
There are folks who tell me they have a hard time giving God just 15 minutes a day. They fail to study His Word. They fail to pray to Him on a consistent basis. And the excuse is almost always, “I don’t have the time…”
Well, my guest today is going to help get back into the habit of study the Word and hearing from God and spending “quality time” with the Creator of the Universe. Amen!
Terry Nightingale is a pastor from down under in Perth, Western Australia. He moved there from the United Kingdom in 2003, with his wife Sue and he has been involved in some facet of Christian ministry over the years in teaching, evangelism, music ministry and pastoral care. Pastor Terry authors a weekly blog titled, The Best is Yet to Come” which is short messages for busy Christians on the go. He has written a book based off of this blog and off of his podcast, titled, https://amzn.to/3DJLELR (“Bite-Size Devotions for the Busy Christian.”)
Help me welcome back to the program, Pastor Terry Nightingale!
Pastor, thank you for coming back on the program! I appreciate it!
You were on back in January to talk about your other books. But this one is a bit different. https://amzn.to/3DJLELR (“Bite-Size Devotionals.”) Why do you think this book is so needful in the day and time we find ourselves in right now?
This book is based off of your blog and podcast?
What’s the name of your podcast?
I love it. That is sort of like my daily podcast “Prayer 2021.” I go a bit longer. I usually average 6 minutes! But I’ve discovered that more people are tuning in because these can be consumed very quickly. Is that why you wrote this book?
Is this like a 30 day devotional type of book?
Give us the format. How does this work?
You do a blog. You also do a podcast. You also write books. You also minister.
How do YOU find time to do all these things? Is that why your podcast is only 4 minutes?
And you decided it was time to help others out with a short devotional that can be consumed quickly, too?
What a lot of people do not realize is the time it takes “behind the scenes” to do a podcast. Even a short one. Yours is four minutes and mine averages six. But it takes me a good half hour to an hour, sometimes, just to prepare for that short duration. Do you find the same thing in your prep time?
Pastor Terry, this is all so intriguing. I love it. How can someone get a copy of your book, https://amzn.to/3DJLELR (“Bite-Size Devotionals for the Busy Christian?”) Is it on Amazon?
And if someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or possibly to do an interview such as this. How can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this down in the show notes.
Folks, as I stated in the beginning, technology today has not given us “more time.” No, it has allowed us to cram MORE into the time we have. Which, when pushed to the limit, means cutting some things out.
I believe Pastor Terry and I are in agreement, one thing...
It’s a Wonderful Time Doug Stebleton pt 2 How many times have you watch a movie and wondered, “What if…?” “What if “this” would happen?” “What if the plot was twisted just a bit?” And then let your imagination just run with it? What would the results be?
In this world that is growing darker and darker it seems every single day, sometimes, we need to just let our imaginations go back to far simpler time. A time when family values were cherished and not trashed. A time when life as, well, simpler! Even if it is only to take a brief mental and spiritual break from the rotten here and now. Amen!
Well, my guest today has been helping people to just that.
Doug Stebleton has been working in the entertainment business since 1987. Born and raised in Glasgow, Montana, he came to Hollywood at age 19 and has lived and worked in southern California since then. His expertise is music publishing for film and television. His company owns a catalog of songs that are licensed to film and television studios and to independent productions. Some of the company’s credits include Blood Diamond, Borat, Little Miss Sunshine, Zoolander, Big Bang Theory, Blue Bloods, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Sopranos, Ugly Betty, CSI, Scrubs and ER.
Doug is also a film producer, which we will get into in just a moment, as well as an author. But it is his love of history that drives him to make films and documentaries that are inspiring, informative and educational – all at the same time. His passion for Hollywood films and time travel…yes, “time travel,” has inspired him to publish a great book, titled, https://amzn.to/30pZ9Sq (“It’s a Wonderful Time.”) This book is based on the film that has been played at Christmas time for over 50 years, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” with James Stewart and Donna Reed. But we will get into that in a few minutes – and you will definitely want to hear all about this book.
You also produced a film titled, “I Want Your Money” that was released in over 500 theatres across the US back in 2010? If I remember correctly, this was about big government getting out of control. Is that right?
And now you are also working on a television series called, “Kars and Stars” (with a “K”). What is that about and what channels will it be on?
Right now, you are co-producing, “Big Life,” with a projected release date of March 2022? This is about a truck driver who spends too much time on the road, causing problems with his son…but now the dad needs the sons help as they try to patch up the relationship. Does that about sum it up?
Your book, https://amzn.to/30pZ9Sq (“It’s A Wonderful Time”) has its roots to something you observed way back in 1985, while you were driving for Mr. Tebet. Can you share with us what happened and then how the inspiration for this book came to you?
Give us the brief synopsis of your book, https://amzn.to/30pZ9Sq (“It’s A Wonderful Time.”)
You have received some rave reviews since it was released, right?
This is just book one in a series? What is the name of the series?
When will your next book be published? What’s the time frame you’re looking at?
Now, you also are involved with a ministry in Simi Valley, California, where you’re from, called https://www.goodfight.org/ (“Good Fight Ministries,” ) with Pastor Joe Schimmel. I was intrigued by the website and all they are doing to expose the dark side of the world of music, Hollywood, cults, pop culture, etc. They have a variety of resources to help understand the day and time we are living in.
I was amazed by how much information is actually on the website. The videos alone are worth going there for. There is one series, “They Sold Their Soul for Rock and Roll” and others… hard hitting but spot on truth. Amen!
How do you help out https://www.goodfight.org/ (“Good Fight Ministries?”)
Doug, this is all so interesting. How can someone obtain a copy of your book, https://amzn.to/30pZ9Sq (“It’s a Wonderful Time?”) Is it on Amazon?

I’ve been anxious to get Doug Stebleton on the program to talk about this book. Amen!
Help me welcome to the program, Doug Stebleton! Doug, thank you for joining us today!
I want to get into a bit of your background before I dive into the book, https://amzn.to/30pZ9Sq (“It’s a Wonderful Time.”) I believe our listeners will come to know you a bit more and then the discussion of your great book will make more sense.
How did you come to the decision to make the move from Montana to Hollywood?
And then you parked cars as a valet…but not just any hotel, right?
You were asked to be the personal driver for the person who ran Johnny Carson Productions. How did that happen?
So you truly started, I guess you say, from the bottom and worked the jobs that most people would overlook. But God was opening doors for you even back then, right?
Were you were working with struggling musicians, actors, etc. at the hotel? Possible contacts that you could use to open doors later?
My uncle owned a recording studio back in the late 1960’s up until about the 1980’s in Detroit called “Sound Records.” I know some of the stories he told in producing music, it sounded like a nightmare come to life sometimes. How did you get started in the music publishing business?
But you are also a movie producer as well. You created a documentary called “Mother of Normandy.” Can you tell us a bit about that movie and how it came to be?
You also produced and directed a short film titled, “Reagan at Normandy” as well as “Heroes of WWII: The European Campaign.” I take you are a history buff, right? I am as well, especially World War II. I’m a George Patton scholar, I guess. I’ve read so many books about him…
The movie with James Stewart in “It’s a Wonderful Life” is a classic that is still watched by millions of people every year. Doug Stebleton’s book https://amzn.to/30pZ9Sq (“It’s a Wonderful Time”) just takes us down a slightly different path to the movie – but one that is truly entertaining.

The Courageous Ask Brian Kreeger pt 2 We have all seen the news reports of someone of some esteemed importance getting caught up in some kind of scandal. Politicians. High level executives. Hollywood elite or sports superstars. It’s all so shocking and everyone wonders how they could have allowed it to happen.
But there are others that fall into the same temptations. Pastors. Ministry leaders. Non-profit leaders. It doesn’t have to a major scandal, affair or corruption. Often, it’s not. But the stigma and embarrassment of what happens can cost marriages, careers and, in some cases, the people involved may even take their own life!
My guest today is Brian Kreeger, author of the book https://amzn.to/3HTbpLx (“The Courageous Ask: A Proactive Approach to Prevent the Fall of Christian Non-Profit Leaders.”)
Brian was the founder of a great non-profit health clinic in a major metropolitan city – who lost his identity and, well, let’s say, “fell from grace.” His calling is to share his story and what he has learned and observed in others – all for the purpose of helping Board of Directors and others in various leadership positions to prevent their leaders from succumbing to these temptations.
Brian’s book, https://amzn.to/3HTbpLx (“The Courageous Ask: A Proactive Approach to Prevent the Fall of Christian Non-Profit Leaders,”) is a great read and will be a great resource for your leadership teams, from churches to businesses.
Today is part two of, what has been, a great two part interview!
Knowing that this could happen to me, you and others – I mean, we see news reports of “scandalous” things happening all of the time…and the bigger the name the more the headlines. What can we, as individuals, do to prevent these types of actions?
Your board of directors said something to you about “what responsibility did they play” in what happened? Did this even register that they had failed in some way, for what had happened?
You share one story in your book about a CEO of a multi-million dollar corporation who had done a great job for many years; well respected in the community; did a lot of charity work, etc., suddenly found himself involved with some kind of charges for something that happened to one of the participants at a camp he sponsored. In your book, you share that this event caused him to become even more loyal to the Board and to the company. Can you share the how and why of a situation like this actually cementing the bond of loyalty?
As you have progressed on, you’ve done speaking and consulting, how have your broached this subject with business and ministry professionals and their board of directors?
Are their signs that indicate something is amiss? Things that, say a Board of Directors needs to be watching for?
Are there things that may not be observable by the Board of Directors but someone who is close, perhaps assistants or other associates may observe?
How should someone approach a Christian leader, especially a ministry leader, be it pastor, director or otherwise, with their concerns?
You talk about “the fall was an anomaly or was it caused by something more serious.” And you use the story about “snow in Disney World” as an example. Can you explain that for us?
Brian, this all so interesting. I could just keep going on because this book is applicable, more than most people know or understand, to things happening all around us today. Not just in ministry, but to CEO’s of non-profits and even corporations.
Folks, what happened to Brian Kreeger can (and does) happen, more often than you even realize. But the better method would be to prevent the fall from grace in the first place.
That is the purpose of Brian’s book, https://amzn.to/3HTbpLx (“The Courageous Ask: A Proactive Approach to Prevent the Fall of Christian Non-Profit Leaders.”) You need to get a copy of this book, right now, today. Go down into the show notes and order Brian Kreegers book, https://amzn.to/3HTbpLx...

Help me welcome to the program, Brian Kreeger. Brian, thank you for joining us today.
First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Brian Kreeger?”
Everyone wants to be a leader. They see the leader out front. They see the leader getting the glory and praise – and they want that. What they don’t see though, is the pressure, the failures, – they don’t realize the aloneness a leader can feel.
You were in the National Guard, you were in management in civilian life, and then you started a non-profit in a poverty-stricken area. Were you becoming a leader through all of these careers and is running the non-profit what you believed your life calling was going to be?
I always believe that “ministry” is not just preaching the Gospel. You used a health clinic to share the Love of God with those that entered your doors. But, you were also being pressured to be more up front and “in your face” type of witnessing to the patients you were treating. Tell us about that type of pressure and why you resisted doing that type of “witnessing” in the clinic…
Many people have a peer they can talk with at work about problems and situations. But not so for the leader. How important is it for a leader to have a confidant, an accountability partner (so to speak) that they can vent to and seek guidance, etc.?
Your book is titled, https://amzn.to/3HTbpLx (“The Courageous Ask: A Proactive Approach to Prevent the Fall of Christian Non-Profit Leaders,”) why this book for the time in which we live?
This is not a “pie in the sky” type of book that talks about theoretical things. This is based upon your own life experiences. Can you give us the background or basis for writing this book?
In your book, you said your success caused you to, more or less, take responsibility for the continued success of your non-profit upon yourself and took it away from God. You reference an example of not golfing because a donor might think you were wasting donated money and things like that. How do leaders drift into that mindset that everything is “their” responsibility?
Go down into the show notes and order Brian Kreegers book, https://amzn.to/3HTbpLx (“The Courageous Ask: A Proactive Approach to Prevent the Fall of Christian Non-Profit Leaders,”) while you are thinking about it.
In fact, order two or three copies. Give them out to your Board of Directors, your church leadership, your pastor. You never know how just ONE TIP from Brian Kreeger could...
The Prophetic Almanac for 2022 Pastor Bill Jenkins pt 1 Well, 2021 has been a wild year for sure. Between the Delta variant and the push for mandatory vaccinations coupled, with the reopening of businesses and people trying to return to normal, add in inflation and businesses not able to hire enough people, not to dismiss political instability and the increase in crime across America… folks, there can be absolutely no doubt we are living in what the Bible calls, “The End Times.”
But, for believers, this is not a time of doom and gloom! Far from it. We are told by Jesus in Luke 21 verse 28, “When these things begin to take place, look up, for your redemption is drawing near!” Amen!
With all that is happening, wouldn’t it be nice to have a peek at what is going to happen in the next year or so? It takes someone with a special gift from God to be able to do that without sounding like a soothsayer or a nut job, right! It take someone anointed by God with this gift to lay things out in a logical format. And that is what my guest will do today!
Pastor Bill Jenkins of the Destinyland Christian Center in Rancho Cucuamonga, California. Every year, he releases a new book titled, https://amzn.to/3lYrib3 (“The Prophetic Almanac.”)
If you have ever heard of the “The Farmer’s Almanac,” well the https://amzn.to/3lYrib3 (Prophetic Almanac) is the Spiritual equivalent that will release a spiritual vision for your personal life and it gives a prophetic forecast for our nation. Amen!
He has written numerous books and is quickly becoming known as a modern day Apostle of God with a prophetic voice. He and his wife, Britain, work extremely hard to release the message of HOPE into our world (and very needful, for such a time as this, I might add).
He also is a broadcaster on “Evangelism Radio” and has been for several years. His program runs Monday through Friday from 10-1030am Eastern Time.
Every year, about this time, I ask Pastor Bill to come back on and share with us his insights from the Word of God as he talks about the new issue of https://amzn.to/3lYrib3 (“The Prophetic Almanac”) as it relates to the coming year. And that is what we will be talking about today as we leave a very hectic and chaotic 2021 behind and are moving forward into 2022.
Today is part two of an amazing interview as we look forward into 2022!
Let’s talk about the year 2022. What does the number 2022 and the number 22 stand for?
What is the Lord showing you to watch out for and prepare for this year?
Here’s a big one, for me anyway. What does it mean to born on the 22nd day of the month?
What are some key scriptures for 2022?
Let’s get into specifics. You give specific dates, places and people to watch in 2002, correct? Can you go over a few of those for us?
Let’s cover the big elephant in the room, COVID. What are you seeing concerning this virus that continues to be dominating the news, in 2022?
Pastor, as usual, this has been an awesome time. How can someone get a copy of your book, “The Prophetic Almanac for 2002?” Is it available on Amazon?
If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or maybe do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
Folks, you need to get a copy of this book, “The Prophetic Almanac” for 2022. There is so much happening prophetically in this nation, and around the world, right now. You need to be aware of what is happening all around you. Do not be taken by surprise. Go to the links down below, order your copies today.
Also, I want to remind you again, that for the last several years or so, Pastor Bill has a daily program, Monday – Saturday at 10am ET on Evangelism Radio at http://www.evangelismradio.com/ (www.evangelismradio.com) and you can listen to his excellent teachings right there as well.

Pastor Bill Jenkins is a 1991 graduate from Christ for the Nations in Dallas, Texas, my old stomping grounds for a few years... He has been in ministry for 30 years. He also had his own Television Program on the Trinity Broadcasting Network - and has hosted the “Praise the Lord” program a few times as well. AMEN!

Pastor Jenkins takes some of the toughest passages of scripture and explains them in a practical and interesting way. He is quickly becoming the “Go To” guy when it comes to Biblical interpretation.

Pastor, how long have you been publishing https://amzn.to/3lYrib3 (“The Prophetic Almanac?”)
Before we get into 2022, let’s recap a bit from 2021…
Last year, on our program, you said there was going to be things exposed that have been kept secret for ages.
You said that in 2021, the majority would “echo” what the popular sayings and news is and that anyone who raises a concern would be attacked. I think we can say we seen that come to pass this year like never before… Amen.
You also said, that true ministers would “raise the standard” and not lower the standard. This concerns spiritual areas as well as in the natural. What kind of examples have you seen that fulfilled this particular discussion in your book?
We understand, from the Book of Romans, that the “wages of sin is death.” Has the United States come to the point where “payday is here?”
What about some of the dates, 21 dates last year, that the Lord highlighted for you in the calendar. Do you have any major things that happened that you are aware of, that happened on those dates?
Last year was the Year of the Ox which was also the Chinese character for last year…and the relationship
Love Thy Nay Bor Anthony Wilson pt 3 We’ve heard the scripture from Mark chapter 12 verse 31 and Matthew chapter 22 verse 39, which says, “love your neighbor as yourself”, the imperative word here being “as.” The long form of this phrase would be “love your neighbor as you love yourself.” This implies that in order to be kind, compassionate, and generous to our neighbor, we must first be these things to ourselves. Amen!
For many people, they “know the verse” but have difficulty in implementation. For others, they try too hard to implement the verse and end in strife. For others, they just ignore it completely and are out for themselves.

Today is the conclusion of this great three part interview!
Let’s shift gears a bit. Your book, “The Hand of God,” deals with Biblical Prosperity. What is the main difference between the world’s idea of prosperity and the Bible’s definition of prosperity?
I’ve had some people, not a lot, but some, get mad at me for charging a fee for some of my services. I try to explain that it costs money to run a ministry – and they still get upset, saying “You should just trust God to provide…”
But then, when I ask them if they go to work and earn a paycheck, why they don’t “just trust God to provide” – they REALLY get mad! But it does cost money to run a ministry. There are expenses involved in all that we do – PLUS – time. If I’m working 8 hours per day on this platform and working to assist others in getting the word out – shouldn’t the ministry be compensated?
Anthony, I’m telling you, if I find a promise in the Bible, there is no devil in hell that can talk me out of it. I teach everyone that, if you have a need – go to the Word. If you can find ONE scripture where God provided that need for someone else, THAT is the scripture you need to take that “uncompromising” stand on and just lift up to the Lord and thank Him continually for the answer.
You’d be surprised how many nasty notes I get that “I’m leading people astray.” Do you run into situations like that?
The Bible is God’s Word and His Word IS His Will and His promise to us. Amen!
Anthony, this has been truly fascinating. I’ve enjoyed our conversation today. Your book, https://amzn.to/3FuDo2X (“The Hand of God,”) how can someone get a copy of it? Is it on Amazon?
And if someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question, invite you to come speak or maybe to do an interview like this, how can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this down below in the show notes.
Folks, as you have heard Anthony Wilson and I go back and forth, the Word of God is so needful today than at any other time in human history. Events happening all around the world right now, yes, they’ve been happening since time began! But they are now happening in, what I call, a convergence. So many things are happening simultaneously instead of independently. And the Bible clearly tells us when these thing are happening all at the same time, to “Look up – for our redemption IS drawing near!” amen!
I encourage you to go down into the show notes can click the links there to get in touch with Apostle Anthony Wilson. Order his book, https://amzn.to/3FuDo2X (“The Hand of God.”) In fact, you should order two or three or more and use them as witnessing tools and just hand them out as gifts. Amen!
What better gift can you give than the Word of God and the ability to understand it. You can do that by...
Love Thy Nay Bor Anthony Wilson pt 2 We’ve heard the scripture from Mark chapter 12 verse 31 and Matthew chapter 22 verse 39, which says, “love your neighbor as yourself”, the imperative word here being “as.” The long form of this phrase would be “love your neighbor as you love yourself.” This implies that in order to be kind, compassionate, and generous to our neighbor, we must first be these things to ourselves. Amen!
For many people, they “know the verse” but have difficulty in implementation. For others, they try too hard to implement the verse and end in strife. For others, they just ignore it completely and are out for themselves.

This is part two of what turned out to be an awesome three part interview!
(we pick up the discussion of doing a deep dive in our Bible study time)
How did or how has COVID affected your ministry?
There was a time, not to long ago, when almost everyone brought their own Bible’s to church so they could follow along with the pastor. Now, they rely on the screen to provide them with a scripture reference and most people do not know how to “turn to a specific” scripture on their own. They’re lost when it comes to looking up scripture. What is your take on using the large screens with scripture references, etc. in churches today. I know they serve a purpose, but I believe they are actually dumbing down church goers. What is your take on this?
You believe the average Christian should be studying their Bible more, and I agree. But why is it most Christians today actually study LESS than just a few years ago? Again, I relate some of that back to church goers not using their own Bibles in services.
Folks, so many things are happening simultaneously instead of independently. And the Bible clearly tells us when these thing are happening all at the same time, to “Look up – for our redemption IS drawing near!”

Help me welcome to the program, Apostle Anthony Wilson! Anthony, thank you for taking the time out of your schedule to visit with us today!
First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Anthony Wilson?”
Let’s start by talking about your podcast. Why the phonetic change to “neighbor” in your title? It’s definitely an attention getter!
One thing that gets my goat nowadays is when someone takes one verse of scripture and tries to make a new doctrine out of it. From what I’ve read about you and from what I’ve heard, listening to a few of your episode, this is something that gets your fire up, too. Is that right?
How can we, as believers and as fellow laborers of the Gospel, dispel this type of false teaching?
I know, for myself, the type of teachings I listen to are, basically, deep dives on scripture verses. Not entire chapters in one sitting type of teachings. I love, for example, a study in Mark 11.
Not just Mark 11 and not just Mark 11 and verses 22-24. But let’s go verse by verse through Mark 11 because verses 1-21 put into context what Jesus was talking about in verses 22-24! Amen! How about you, what do you focus on in your teachings?
Another example of not teaching the entire doctrine, let’s use one of the MOST memorized scriptures in the Bible, John 3:16. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
Most Christians believe that and can probably quote it. But very few know what verse 17 says! “For God did not send His Son into the world to CONDEMN the world; but that the world – THROUGH HIM – might be saved!”
So many focus on verse 16 and only worry about the individual – which we should, I’m not trying to minimize that – but there is also an entire WORLD beyond our four walls that needs to be reached.
I see our internet ministry as fulfilling verse 17 – but we do it by reaching INDIVIDUALS to help THEM fulfill verse 16. But our ministry – and yours – through podcasting, etc. is reaching THE WORLD! Amen!
And, of course, we are fulfilling the Great Commandment in all of this as well.
Folks, as you have heard Anthony Wilson and I go back and forth, the Word of God is so needful today than at any other time in human history. Events happening all around the world right now, yes, they’ve been happening since time began!

Vertical Relationship Training Melia Diana Everyone has experienced problems in their relationships, whether it is between husband and wife, boy-friend or girl-friend, or other people that are involved in your life. Some even have issues reconciling the fact that Jesus loves them unconditionally. To help us understand these things, sometimes we need someone just to come alongside us and point us in the right direction. Amen!
My guest today has been helping people do just that for many years. Melia Diana is an International Best-Selling author; a Certified Christian Counselor, speaker and relationship & dating coach. She specializes in helping you to receive that inner healing transformation who unashamedly loves the Lord and is indefinitely serious about her Faith walk with Jesus. Amen!
She has her own Signature Coaching Programs to help women to identify the missing links and ROOT issues that hinder God’s best in your life.
She is also the author of a great book titled, https://amzn.to/39WAxBo (“Vertical Relationship: 4 Steps to Salvation & Getting Right with God.”) She also co-authored a book that became a #1 international best seller, titled https://amzn.to/3sIt0im (“Overcomer: Redeemed Masterpiece (Inspired Stories of Real People with Unconquerable Will to Thrive and Be Alive).)
And now she has a podcast as well, https://meliadiana.com/podcast/ (“The Vertical Relationship Show!”) Praise God!
Help me welcome to the program, Melia Diana! Melia, thank you so much for taking the time to come back on the program and visit with us today!
For those that may not have heard our prior conversation, it has been almost a year already – time goes by so fast… but to catch up those that may not have heard our prior episode, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Melia Diana?”
Last time, we discussed your book, “Vertical Relationship.” We also talked about how you got started doing this “personal aspect of Spiritual coaching.” Let’s start there just to bring everyone up to date. Why did you get involved with coaching and counseling services like this?
You also have your “Vertical Relationship Academy.” What is this about?
Does this training follow your book or go into more detail about the concepts outlined in your book?
You speak to “getting to the core ROOT issues.” What do you mean by that and how do they affect people in their daily lives and relationships?
Do you help your clients, I’ll just use the phrase, “realign their relationship with Jesus” which then helps them to realign their relationship with others? Or does it go the other way around, heal their relationship with others which brings them more in line with their relationship with Jesus?
I know you are a licensed Physical Therapist, does this play into that area of your expertise as well?
You talk about helping people receive inner healing in all areas of their life, “spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically.”
Let’s talk about what you call, “Spiritual Trauma of the wounded soul.” Can you explain that for us?
Tell us about your podcast, https://meliadiana.com/podcast/ ("The Vertical Relationship Show.") When did you begin podcasting?
How often do you publish new episodes?
What is the format of your podcast? Are you going to be doing interviews?
You also do public speaking. I know COVID kind of put the dampers on everything. It affected me as well. I used to go to half a dozen speaking events a year, but those withered away. I’ve participated in a lot of virtual events. How about you? What has your speaking events consisted of lately?
What are your plans for 2022?
Melia, all of this sounds so interesting. If someone wanted to contact you to get information on having you come and speak, whether virtually or in person or perhaps get more information on your Vertical Relationship Academy, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you to find out more?
How can we listen...
Is 2022 THE YEAR of Jesus Return? Tom Donnan If you’ve been listening to us the last few days on this podcast, you know we, our special guest, Tom Donnan and myself, have been doing a type of “year in review” for 2021.
We summarized many of the podcasts we’ve been sharing over this year and the topics we discussed…all basically with one overriding theme – everything the Bible says is supposed to happen before Jesus returns has either already happened or is happening now – or is in the process of happening right now.
And we do not share these messages to bring condemnation or a “woe is me” type of attitude. Yes, times may get tough. Yes, people will die. Yes the world is getting worse and worse. Yes this is all happening – but – it’s NOT of God!
It is the result of people, individual people, turning from serving God, from believing in God and from following Godly morals and principles – and embracing humanism, embracing “alternative lifestyles” that God Himself told us not to allow. But just like Romans 2, our government not only “allows it” – but encourages it.
If you missed the last two episodes where Tom Donnan and I shared about what WAS the year 2021…go back and catch up. Amen!
Because now – we have our eyes to the future. We are BLESSED to be living in the day and time in which we do. We are BLESSED to see all the wickedness going on. We are BLESSED to see the devil having his way with society. We are BLESSED to “SEE” these things and we need to REJOICE that we are seeing them! Praise God!
“Ah…brother Bob…excuse me…how can we be happy and rejoice with all of this wickedness and mayhem happening all around us?”
HOW? Easy! Luke 21:28 is where Jesus TOLD US, “When these things begin to happen, stand up and lift up your heads, BECAUSE – your redemption is drawing near!”
Everything, Jesus said, the prophets of old foretold, but their eyes could not see – He says “YOUR EYES SEE.” Praise God!
Let me bring our good friend Tom Donnan on here…
Tom… thank you for coming back on the program to start off the year 2022 with us! Amen! I appreciate you taking the time to join us today, brother!
The last two days were awesome. We wrapped up and closed out the year 2021.
But now, I want us to look at some things happening around us and how 2022 is looking to shape up...
We left off yesterday, December 31st, talking about the “hedge of protection” over and around America becoming weaker and weaker and being lifted by God to allow these things we see to happen. Explain that concept for our listeners…
Can individuals, individual Christians, have a hedge of protection around them – while the hedge around the nation is removed?
How can we “pray up” the hedge around us and our family?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3Nc84Mc-KE (The Mystery of the Hedge | Episode 871 - YouTube)
You had a dream of a huge burden. You said it WILL COME and it will come to everyone. Can you explain that?
Psalm 107 describes this scenario?
So, you see, and I have to admit, so do I and I know othesr, some major ministries, believe this too – that America has been turned over to wicked leaders as a form of chastisement. Is this right? How does it work?
And, I think we discussed this a bit the last day or so, mainly it was because we, as a nation, rejected righteous leadership and embraced wickedness. Trump may have had his personal faults, but he fully, 100% supported everything that Evangelical Christians embrace. And when we, as a nation, rejected his leadership and embraced the 100% opposite…well, let’s just say, “there’s hell to pay.” And we are starting to see it…
Is it possible to reverse the trend?
Let me ask you this – do you believe we are seeing the “fall of America” happen right before our very eyes?
A lot of this is because the media is being played like a stringed instrument by Satan. They’ve successfully divided this nation along ethnic, political, financial and cultural lines...
Spiritual House Cleaning 2021 Year in Review Tom Donnan pt 2 We are so blessed you are here, on December 31st 2021 – the end of the year episode! Praise God!
You know, we all suffered through, stumbled through, the year 2020 and the COVID lockdowns, etc. We thought that the worst was behind us as we entered 2021 with the hope that we were past this.
And, yes, 2021 has been better than 2020 in some respects. But, you know Pastor Bob, we don’t just look at things at face value. We like diving deep spiritually on topics that are affecting society today. Amen!
And, to help me do that, I have invited a great friend of this ministry to come back on for two episodes. One to close out the year 2021 and part two to look prophetically at what we are seeing 2022 shaping up to be. Amen!
Tom Donnan comes on, about once per month, to bring us up-to-date on things happening in this nation and around the world in the natural and how that relates to spiritual activity.
Tom is an evangelist, author and a great friend of our ministry – help me welcome back to the program, Tom Donnan! Tom, thank you for coming back on and joining us today for this special, end of year broadcast!
Let’s continue now, with what I’ll call – “The Year in Review!”
We’ve talked about plagues, increase in earthquakes, increase in volcanic activity, droughts, locust plagues, bird flu, COVID variants – all of these things have INCREASED in activity this year!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcoPFj6cPvk (Drought Emergency: Wells Run Dry For Some In Central Valley - YouTube)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymp-Y3MI5GY (FOLSOM LAKE LOW WATER LEVEL - Drought exposes abandoned Gold Rush village - YouTube)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YU-FCQnCnMk (Water shortages up and down the Colorado River - YouTube)
Now, we are looking at hyper-inflation, supply shortages, credit freezes – and MORE!
Did you see that come banks are tightening credit – even the FED has been trying to reassure us that inflation is under control? These banks don’t believe them and are starting to act on their own in tightening access to credit…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI9e_79TGds (CREDIT FREEZE BEGINS! Wells Fargo Shuts Down All Lines Of Credit: Defaults & Bankruptcies Coming - YouTube)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cmwf-nsw_hM (Shipping Containers That Spent Weeks Aboard Ships Stuck At Ports Now Being Dumped In Nearby Neighbor - YouTube)
And all of this leads us, basically, to proof that America has lost its “Hedge of Protection.” I think the first indication, which I called a “warning shot” at the time, was 9-11. Have you sensed that we’ve lost our hedge of protection?
Folks, these are just SOME of the things that have happened in the year 2021. Tom just basically gave you a recap of some of the major things we discussed over the last year. Now, they sounded concerning when we actually talked about them on each podcast. But when you put them all together and realize all of these things are just the “tip of the spear” of what really went on in 2021 – well, it cannot but help you to understand these things are all discussed, in some form or fashion, what the Bible says will take place in the last days.
Yes, they’ve all been happening since the Garden of Eden. But NEVER have they been happening all at once! I’ve come to call it a “congruence” of events. Amen!
Tom is coming back TOMORROW, January 1st 2022 to discuss some things that are being set up to happen in the coming year!
Tom, as we close this episode out, I want you to pray us out. Be sure to give an invitation to someone who wants to end this year in a true, victorious status. But pray us out. Out of the program and out of the year 2021.
So, Tom, pray us out, please…
Folks, that is all the time we have for today, December 31st, 2021.
Be sure to come back for the next episode as we are going to do a Spiritual DIVE into 2022, for you. Amen! CONTACT INFORMATION:...

Let’s start, what I’ll call – “The Year in Review!”
Naturally, it all actually started with the election controversy in November 2020. Here, we had a president that, let’s just say, not politically correct and gruff around the edges. But, he was 100% supportive of the Gospel. 100% supportive of banning abortions and killing babies. He was 100% supportive of the military and law enforcement. He was 100% supportive of border security, etc. In other words, he was supportive of the Christian values this nation was founded on.
The election of, let’s say 100% opposite everything Christian should be supporting, I believe that, for lack of a better expression, opened the flood gates of the evil we are now witnessing every night on the news.
And it really started, during the pandemic, with companies trying to find ways to stay afloat. In order to do that, they had to cut expenses. And that means cutting jobs.
Some people were able to survive, but some folks were barely making it to begin with. One group is the senior citizens, right?

Even Perry Stone seen a spiritual warning for America.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUWrFUxbFNM (I Heard God's Warning to America | Perry Stone - YouTube)
One topic we always seem to circle back to is the one of asteroids conducting super close fly-bys with the earth… often zipping past us with no warning that it was posing a possible threat. Did you see recently the spacecraft NASA launched that is going to try to impact an asteroid on purpose? All in an attempt to change its trajectory?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ngQJSnc1rk (Asteroid (2021 BO) NASA Detected a Small Cool Asteroid That Got Close to Earth - YouTube)
I wonder “why” they are trying this experiment? Do you think the “Apophis” asteroid, which when it was first discovered, the claim was it was going to IMPACT the earth – but very quickly, they said, “Oh no – don’t worry, it will miss us. We promise.” But – do they know more than they are letting on? Which is why they want to try this experiment?
Well, we’ve seen helicopters on Mars…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qN8AgSvSFcI (NASA's Ingenuity Mars Helicopter: The First Aircraft on Mars - YouTube)
We’ve also seen scientists playing God with the blending of Human and Animal DNA – called “transhumanism…”

BitCoin for Churches Patrick Melder pt 3 https://amzn.to/3prC3ET ()If you are an investor or someone thinking of investing, you probably have heard about Crpto-currency lately. Crypto is an unregulated, off the grid type of currency that has governments upset. Why? Mainly because they can’t regulate it!
There is a lot of misinformation out there and a lot of different choices if you decide this is something that you want to do.
To help us get a little better understanding of Crypto-Currency and, more specifically, the “big boy” in the room – BitCoin – we have our guest today who happens to be a BitCoin expert! Praise God!
Dr. Patrick Melder was a US Army doctor for 13 years at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC as well as a private practice Ear, Nose and Throat surgeon after serving in the military. He holds over 30 US and international patents and is passionate about the Great Commission of spreading the Gospel to the ends of the earth…
Patrick is also a serial entrepreneur. He first learned about Bitcoin in 2013 but made his first purchase in 2018 and has held ever since. He’s written extensively about Bitcoin’s truths and the impact it has on believers and non-believers.
Patrick also hosts a weekly podcast: https://mission-bitcoin.captivate.fm/ (“Mission:Bitcoin,”) this is an interview podcast focusing on Bitcoin and Christianity, exploring Christian responsibility in adopting Bitcoin; How Bitcoin helps Christians align with God’s plan; and How Bitcoin can be used in Christian Missions.
He has also the author of “https://amzn.to/3prC3ET (The Christian Case for Bitcoin.”)
You discuss, on your podcast and blog, that Christians and Christian ministries have a “moral obligation” to adopt BitCoin. What do you mean by that and why is this a “moral obligation?”
You teach and share about using BitCoin to further Christian Ministry. Why would a ministry do that and how would they go about getting started?
Individual Christians
Ministry / Churches
Missions Work
Are there any special reporting rules that apply to churches and ministries that accept BitCoin or other crypto-currencies as offerings?
Can a ministry use BitCoin as an investment?
Tell us about your podcast, https://mission-bitcoin.captivate.fm/ (“Mission-BitCoin.”)
You have a variety of guests with various backgrounds – but they are all discussing BitCoin. Is this a topic that is generating more and more interest?
Let’s talk for a moment about your book, https://amzn.to/3prC3ET (“The Christian Case for Bitcoin.”) What can our listeners find in your book?
You also recommend an app called… https://use.foldapp.com/r/7LHMF7T9 (“Fold?” ) What is this app about and is something our listeners should use?
Patrick, this has truly been an informational interview on a very important topic that is really coming into its own right now – BitCoin. As we get ready to close, how can someone order a copy of your book, https://amzn.to/3prC3ET (“The Christian Case for Bitcoin.”)?
If someone would like to reach out to you, to ask a question or possibly to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
Folks, crypto-currency is no longer just a fad. It is real. It is something, as you heard Patrick Melder discuss, could be used by Christians, not if, but WHEN a financial collapse happens. We see the handwriting on the wall already. You need to protect yourself, your family and continue to support the work of ministries to reach as many people as possible with the Gospel. BitCoin is something that you definitely should pray about getting involved with. Amen!
Go down into the show notes and reach out Patrick Melder. Listen to the podcast. Definitely, most definitely, order his book, https://amzn.to/3prC3ET (“The Christian Case for Bitcoin.”) Just click the links and begin to study this out for yourself.

I remember back, I’m guessing 5 or 6 years ago, it could have been a bit more, but it seems like BitCoin was about $300 per coin or so. And I was contemplating putting some money into – but decided it was probably a fad and it would end up going to zero. Have you heard that from others? Surely, I couldn’t be the only one…?
Why are the governments of this world concerned about BitCoin and other Crypto-Currencies?
But if someone starts using Crypto-Currency, how can they use it to buy everyday items? Wouldn’t they have to convert it to regular currency?
I believe the banks are required, I believe currently it is still $10K per transaction, and the banks have to tell the government about it. They are asking on the tax forms if you have any crypto-currency, etc. Does a person have to inform the government of any and all crypto-currency, i.e. BitCoin, when we purchase it? Or is it only when we sell it (so they can tax the profits)?
That gives us a foundation of what BitCoin and crypto-currency is. Before we get into the importance of possibly using BitCoin in ministry, why should we be wary of the current financial system?
You discuss, on your podcast and blog, that Christians and Christian ministries have a “moral obligation” to adopt BitCoin. What do you mean by that and why is this a “moral obligation?”
Folks, Go down into the show notes and reach out Patrick Melder. Listen to the podcast. Definitely, most definitely, order his book, https://amzn.to/3prC3ET ("The Christian Case for Bitcoin.") Just click the links and begin to study this out for yourself. I believe, from what you’ve heard today, crypto-currency is no longer just a fad. It is real. It is something, as you heard Patrick Melder discuss, could be used by Christians, not if, but WHEN a financial collapse happens. Go down into the show notes and reach out to Patrick today.

BitCoin for Churches Patrick Melder pt 1 https://amzn.to/3prC3ET ()If you are an investor or someone thinking of investing, you probably have heard about Crpto-currency lately. Crypto is an unregulated, off the grid type of currency that has governments upset. Why? Mainly because they can’t regulate it!
There is a lot of misinformation out there and a lot of different choices if you decide this is something that you want to do.
To help us get a little better understanding of Crypto-Currency and, more specifically, the “big boy” in the room – BitCoin – we have our guest today who happens to be a BitCoin expert! Praise God!
Patrick Melder is an Ear, Nose and Throat surgeon and sleep specialist. He trained at Walter Reed Army Medical center and was on active duty with the US Army for 13 years. He left the Army in 2006 as a Lieutenant Colonel and started his private practice career. Patrick holds nearly thirty US and international patents. Patrick has been involved in church ministry from positions as an elder and lay missions pastor. He is passionate about God’s mission to the Gospel to the ends of the earth.
Dr. Patrick Melder was a US Army doctor for 13 years at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC as well as a private practice Ear, Nose and Throat surgeon after serving in the military. He holds over 30 US and international patents and is passionate about the Great Commission of spreading the Gospel to the ends of the earth…
Patrick is also a serial entrepreneur. He first learned about Bitcoin in 2013 but made his first purchase in 2018 and has held ever since. He’s written extensively about Bitcoin’s truths and the impact it has on believers and non-believers.
Patrick also hosts a weekly podcast: https://mission-bitcoin.captivate.fm/ (“Mission:Bitcoin,”) this is an interview podcast focusing on Bitcoin and Christianity, exploring Christian responsibility in adopting Bitcoin; How Bitcoin helps Christians align with God’s plan; and How Bitcoin can be used in Christian Missions.
He has also authored a book titled, “https://amzn.to/3prC3ET (The Christian Case for Bitcoin.”)
First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Patrick Melder?”
A lot of people want to know about BitCoin now because of the recent gains and highs it has hit. But most people do not know anything about it. What it is or how to trade it. It is called, “Crypto-Currency.”
So, let’s start there. What is “Crypto-Currency” and why has it become important in today’s financial circles?
We hear a lot about “mining” BitCoin and about “block-chains” and things like that. Can you briefly explain what those terms mean for our listeners?
Who first created BitCoin – and why?
I remember back, I’m guessing 5 or 6 years ago, it could have been a bit more, but it seems like BitCoin was about $300 per coin or so. And I was contemplating putting some money into – but decided it was probably a fad and it would end up going to zero. Have you heard that from others? Surely, I couldn’t be the only one…
Why are the governments of this world concerned about BitCoin and other Crypto-Currencies?
Folks, crypto-currency is no longer just a fad. It is real. It is something, as you heard Patrick Melder discuss, could be used by Christians, not if, but WHEN a financial collapse happens. Go down into the show notes and reach out Patrick Melder. Listen to the podcast. Definitely, most definitely, order his book, https://amzn.to/3prC3ET ("The Christian Case for Bitcoin").

Heart Touch Music Craig Perkins pt 3 Have you ever felt alone? Abandoned? Like, everything you do is wrong? If so, I have good news for you today. You’re NOT alone. You’re NOT abandoned. God is always with you, even if you do not recognize His presence.
Some suffer abuse at the hands of their parents. Some are just abandoned and, more less, forgotten about.
That could describe our guest today, Craig Perkins.
Craig’s parents were alcoholics and fought violently. His Father abandoned the family and, later, his mother did the same. Ultimately, the courts stepped in and the children to an orphanage on the other side of the country.
Living in an institution with 320 other unwanted kids is all Craig knew while growing up. When he finally was able to leave the orphanage, it was only natural he began to follow a rebellious path in life.
He enrolled in college as a music major, but knew nothing about music. But soon, the college party scene started calling, and this rebellious man answered the call…
But for the efforts of Christians on campus who reached out and witnessed about Christ to anyone who would listen, including Craig, who knows where his path in life would have led.
But instead of a life of death and destruction, Craig has been serving the Lord!
Craig Perkins is the founder of “Heart Touch Music,” had a traveling concert ministry; has hosted and served in retreats, seminars, recovery programs and healing centers. The songs he has written are his own original works (and we will share some music in today’s program). But, he has also reached out and found his parents and witnessed the Love of Christ to them! Praise God!
This is the conclusion of a GREAT three part interview with Craig Perkins!
You were married in 1983 and then, basically, went on tour with your music. How long did you do that?
You write music as a tool to touch troubled hearts. You also provide instrumental music for counselors and therapists to use in their practices. Tell us about this…
How can music help us, the average person listening right now?
You have shared that we are called to win the world for Christ. But yet , we often ignore those who are right next to us. Our family, friends, co-workers, etc.
You also composed a song for this calling of reaching those around us with the Gospel. It’s titled “Forgiven.” Let’s listen to a clip then come back to the interview.
You also write music for praise and worship and immersion – how does someone use this type of music, say in their devotional or prayer time?
Craig, this is all so fascinating. And your music is so awesome. I’ve listened to several tracks just getting ready for today’s interview. How can someone order your music? In fact, how can someone get in touch with you, maybe to ask a question, order your music or possible even to do an interview such as this? How can they get in touch with you?
And your music is available on your website, but there are various “rooms” set up, depending on the type of music the person is seeking?
I’ll put links to all of this down below in the show notes.
Folks, music is so important to our Spiritual wellbeing. Why do you think the devil goes after the minds of people through the music they listen to?
I want to encourage you to get back to the basics of your Faith – and allow Craig’s music to help you in your quiet time. To minister to you when you’re down. To minister to you as you pray and meditate. To minister to you – just about all day long, if you’ll let it.
Go down into the show notes and click the link to Craig Perkins website and discover a secret weapon God has provided us to claim victory in this life – here on earth – MUSIC. Amen! CONTACT INFORMATION: http://www.hearttouchmusic.org/ ()

This is part two of a GREAT three part interview!
The family unit has always been a target for Satan – all the way back to the Garden of Eden. He successfully destroyed your family. But you later took him on and started searching for your parents. The Lord led you to be intercessor for them instead of an accuser. What motivated you to start tracking down your parents?
You composed a song titled “Hold Me Daddy” during this time. Let’s listen to a clip of it and then come back to the interview…
You first found your mother. Tell us about that and what the outcome was…
You composed a song about your mother. It’s called “When I Say Mommy.” You’ve provided a clip for us, let’s listen and then come back to the interview….
Did you ever play that song for your mother?
Did you find your father in your search? What was the outcome of that?
I want to encourage you to get back to the basics of your Faith – and allow Craig’s music to help you in your quiet time. To minister to you when you’re down. To minister to you as you pray and meditate. To minister to you – just about all day long, if you’ll let it.

Overcoming the Journey Xsance Love https://amzn.to/32faCF2 ()Xsance Love should have had a great childhood. She grew up in a pastor’s home and attended church and all of that. But, something was missing. It was a sense of normalcy. She was expected to live and act a certain way – simply because she was a “PK.” Pastor’s kid.
This caused some rebellion, as most PK’s will attest to.
But it also involved abuse. Bullying. And the one place she should have found comfort and peace, the church, offered no support at all – or very little.
Xsance has authored a book titled, https://amzn.to/32faCF2 (“Overcoming the Journey: Battle of the Mind.”) This has allowed her to share her story of growing up in deliverance ministry, experiencing all she went through – which caused her to doubt and question if she even wanted to be a follower of Christ.
Help me welcome to the program, Xsance Love!
Xsance, thank you for coming on the program to discuss your life and this book!
First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Xsance Love?”
You share that you were missing your biological dad. Was your step-father the minister of the church?
You discuss being molested as a child. What age were you when this happened?
Was this kept secret from the church?
You share about being bullied. I read about how you were accused of eating food that had fallen to the ground, but it was not true. Tell us about that incident?
Share about a few of the other incidents you discuss in your book…
Did you tell anyone about these things?
What was the response?
You share that your church family did not support you. Even your family members did not support you. What did you do during this time to endure?
You share that you had to walk and find God. What do you mean by that and what did you go through to come out the other side?
Why did you write this book at this time? Was it a form of therapy for you?
What do you want your readers to take away from reading this book?
This book is a great read. How can someone obtain a copy of this book? Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or maybe do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
Folks, this book, https://amzn.to/32faCF2 (“Overcoming the Journey: Battle of the Mind”) by Xsance Love is a great read. It keeps you intrigued and wanting to turn to the next page and then the next page and the next page just to see what happens next.
You need to go down into the show notes and order your copy right now, while you are thinking about it. In fact, you should order two or three copies and share them with someone. I know you know someone who could get a lot out of the perspective Xsance has provided in this book. Especially for other PK’s – pastor kids! Amen!
Go down into the show notes and order your copies today!
Xsance, thank you for coming on the program, sharing about your life and sharing about this great book, https://amzn.to/32faCF2 (“Overcoming the Journey: Battle of the Mind.”) I do appreciate it.
Folks, that is all the time we have for today. For Xsance Love and myself, this is Pastor Bob reminding you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO! CONTACT INFORMATION: https://amzn.to/32faCF2 ()

The High Call of Forgiveness Dr. Rosemarie Downer Most Christians should be familiar with the scripture, “we have all sinned and come short of the Glory of God.” But what does that mean? Without going into the deep, “spiritual applications,” let’s just say – you, me and everyone else sins each and every day.
If you just said, “not me” – you just sinned. You just committed a lie and that is a sin! Praise God – Don’t shout me down when I’m preaching good! Amen!
But, seriously, if every person sins – and they do so every single day, in some way, form or fashion, then we have fallen short of the Glory of God and need forgiveness. And, sometimes, we sin against others in the process.
It might be something we say or do; it could be something we fail to do or say. It might be – well, there are boundless opportunities to sin each and every day.
Along with US sinning against others all day long, there are others who do things to us as well. And one of the most dangerous areas we can move into is the sin of “unforgiveness.” If we fail to forgive someone when they sin against, as the Lord’s prayer implies, “this will stop us from receiving our forgiveness as well.”
Forgiveness is the central core of the Bible and all that Jesus accomplished at the cross. That is what we need to share with as many people as possible. Amen!
Well, that is what our guest today is all about. Dr. Rosemarie Downer is a Christian non-fiction author who has written several books over these last few year.
Dr. Downer served with the US Dept. of Agriculture as a social science researcher for over 20 years and as an adjunct professor for Bowie State University for 24 years. She is now retired from both positions and has dedicated herself to doing what she has always dreamed of doing – writing books that edify the Body of Christ! Amen!
Her most recent book is titled, https://amzn.to/3x2PIED (“The High Call of Forgiveness: It’s a Mandate”) and that is what we will be discussing today.
This book, https://amzn.to/3x2PIED (“The High Call of Forgiveness: It’s a Mandate,”) is actually a “re-release” of the book for 2015, right? Why is that?
As followers of Christ, we are REQUIRED by God to forgive. That’s why you call it a “mandate?”
Just that word, “mandate.” That is not a “do this if you feel like it” type of word. It is a command, correct?
Just like the vaccination MANDATES. It’s not an option. It’s not a “do this if you want to” type of thing.
And we are required to actually “forgive others as we have been forgiven.”
Another way of looking at this would be, if we take the bible literally, (which we should), if we do not forgive those who offended us, we will not be forgiven for our sins which offend God, right?
Why this book is needed now for this day and time?
Now the situation you referenced and I don’t want to get into the details, but this is where the book had its roots. Were you struggling through this and this book, basically, details the steps you went through for forgiveness?
How does your book lead the reader through to that conclusion in their own situation?
Folks, unforgiveness can keep you bound up and unable to move forward. And, I would venture to say, something you are holding in your heart because of what someone said or did to you – is hurting YOU more than it is hurting the other person. I’ve seen where someone was walking in unforgiveness for years over something someone said or did. That other person had gone on with their life and had no idea this person was still holding that grudge from years before.
Sometimes you’ll hear quips like, “I can forgive the sin but not the sinner” or things like that. Why do so many believers struggle with obeying the command to “forgive others as I have forgiven you?”
And you said this book has a https://amzn.to/2Z2cL5R (study guide) and a https://amzn.to/3oZUSxB (leaders guide) that goes along with it, correct? What type of settings would this...

Launch Your Business with God Zach Windahl pt 1 Have you ever felt that everything you touched did not turn to gold? But instead, just went from good to bad to worse? Everything. Everything you believed in. Everything you tried to do?
My guest today faced that very dilemma. In 2014, Zach Windahl went from bad to worse. He always had a plan, until that time. He was broken. He was lost. He started to contemplate everything he had believed in.
He had grown up as a Christian, but things were so bad, he realized he had no idea what that meant. He started to look at religion in a very different light. He stated to look at Christianity in America.
He realized that every single religion OUTSIDE of Christianity, took their faith seriously. But in the United States, Christians rarely read their Bibles and the ideals that are labeled as “Christian” can be very skewed from one faith to another.
This started Zach on a mission. He decided to read the Bible straight through. Not in in a year, but in 90 days. He wanted to seek the TRUTH. And he understood that God’s Word is the Truth. So, he set out seek THE TRUTH.
Long story short, he came to some magnificent revelations. The first one occurred in – Genesis Chapter one! Praise God!
Zach Windahl has helped thousands of people better understand the Bible and grow closer to God through his company, “The Brand Sunday.” He’s the author of several books, including “The Bible Study” and his recent book, https://amzn.to/3ks2tTR (“Launch with God – How to Build a Business That Matters and Live Out Your God-Given Purpose”)
When you seen in the Bible that God “creates,” what did that mean for you?
Explain how you came to the understanding that God’s story continues even to today…
How does someone find themselves in God’s Story, as you share in your book?
How can we, as you put it, “lean into our talents?”
One of the things you’ve discovered older folks, myself included, wish they could’ve done more of is to have spent more time with their family, and, instead of working at a job for someone else, they wished they would’ve pursued their dreams. How did that impact you and what you are doing now?
Because of time, I want to jump towards the end of your book. Especially about “Building a Team.” Because of my leadership training the military, I have spoken at several business conferences on the topic of “Team Building.” So this section absolutely caught my attention…
You state, “In general, if you’re great at something in business, stick with it. If you’re good at it, do it until you can afford to pay someone else to do it. And if you’re bad at it, hire someone to do it now.”
I absolutely agree, but I also get asked, when I say this, “But I can’t afford to hire anybody, so I have to just try and get it done as best I can right now…”
What do you say about that type of comment?
How can someone just starting out find help?
One chapter in your book, https://amzn.to/3ks2tTR (“Launch with God,”) you share about “Removing Obstacles.” What do you see as the biggest obstacle that faces most of us down?
I had to laugh, again, when I read the part about running a business, being an entrepreneur, is not a sprint – it’s not even a marathon! You called it an “ultra-marathon!” Can you explain that for our listeners?
Who is Justin Zoradi and how did he influence you?
When we seek advice about or dream, about our business, whom should we seek advice from and who should be avoid?
Zach, we are about out of time. Where can someone get a copy of your book, https://amzn.to/3ks2tTR (“Launch with God”)? Is it on Amazon?
If someone wants to get in touch with you, to ask a question or maybe do an interview like this, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
Folks, I cannot recommend this book, “Launch with God,” by Zach Windahl more highly. You need to go down into the show notes and order your copy of https://amzn.to/3ks2tTR (“Launch with

He realized that every single religion OUTSIDE of Christianity, took their faith seriously. But in the United States, Christians rarely read their Bibles and the ideals that are labeled as “Christian” can be very skewed from one faith to another.
This started Zach on a mission. He decided to read the Bible straight through. Not in in a year, but in 90 days. He wanted to seek the TRUTH. And he understood that God’s Word is the Truth. So, he set out seek THE TRUTH.
Long story short, he came to some magnificent revelations. The first one occurred in – Genesis Chapter one! Praise God!
Zach Windahl has helped thousands of people better understand the Bible and grow closer to God through his company, “The Brand Sunday.” He’s the author of several books, including “The Bible Study” and his recent book, https://amzn.to/3ks2tTR (“Launch with God – How to Build a Business That Matters and Live Out Your God-Given Purpose”)
First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, ‘Who is Zach Windahl?”
You describe your book, https://amzn.to/3ks2tTR (“Launch with God,”) as a frame work for someone to launch a profitable business that matters. This book is for people who feel their God-given purpose is in entrepreneurship.
The first part of your book discusses “Partnering with God.” Many ministries discuss “partner with this ministry” and they are referring to financial support. But that is not what is meant by “Partnering with God.” Correct?
In your book that “there is no secular job.” Can you share what you mean by that statement?
I had to laugh when you talked about “not everybody is called to be a pastor.” That is what most Bible schools focus on. That is what most people called to ministry believe. “If I’m called to ministry I must be a pastor, open a church, etc. etc.”
In fact, I thought the same thing. I figured I’d be an evangelist and travel to various towns and hold meetings. I rented out rooms at hotels and at a few theatres, etc. And the people stayed away by the thousands! At one event, I had a whopping 7 people in a 500 seat auditorium. And it still took me 10 years to discover my true calling – which is what I do now, because of this same misconception.
But you say, “If your called to be an entrepreneur, it’s not be a secular entrepreneur but it means you have to make entrepreneurship spiritual.” Can you explain that for us?
You had a revelation of sorts just in Genesis chapter one. Can you explain what your life was like at that point and then what happened as you read Genesis Chapter One?
When you seen in the Bible that God “creates,” what did that mean for you?
Explain how you came to the understanding that God’s story continues even to today…
How does someone find themselves in God’s Story, as you share in your book?
How can we, as you put it, “lean into our talents?”
Folks, I cannot recommend this book, “Launch with God,” by Zach Windahl more highly. You need to go down into the show notes and order your copy of https://amzn.to/3ks2tTR (“Launch with God”) right now, while you are thinking of it.

Success by Faith Steven Pemberton pt 3 How many times have you wondered, “If I could change this, what would happen?” If you are tired of the drudgery of working for somebody else, somebody else’s profit, somebody else’s advances and just earning your hourly wage, what would it be like if YOU could be your own boss?
For many people, that is just a pipe dream. For others, it’s something they truly desire to do but are afraid – that’s right – scared, about “What if it doesn’t work?” For others, they consider it a challenge that needs to be met, conquered and overcome.
What’s on the other side? What is it going to be like if you succeed? What is it going to be like if you, not only succeed, but start walk in the true path that God has called you to do and to serve Him with?
Well, my guest today had to face those same exact questions. And he is going to explain the reasoning (or lack of reasoning, some may say) that caused him to go “all in with his wife and with God.” Amen!
Steven Pemberton (not the actor), was considered a little crazy for taking that challenge. He and his wife, Brittany, have achieved what many consider impossible. But, as you should be aware, “With God – ALL Things are possible – to him who believes!” Amen!
Steven left a corporate career behind and joined his wife in launching not one, but TWO successful businesses that each have generated over seven figures of income. Do you think you could learn a thing or two from Steven that could, possibly, perhaps, maybe – give you an idea to take that step of Faith and become all that God intends for YOU to be?
Let’s find out…as we conclude a great three part interview, with Steven Pemberton!
And this has now allowed you to be a blessing to others and sow significantly into the Lord’s work?
What does the future look like for you and your family business at this time?
Now, you also have a podcast, correct?
What is the purpose of your podcast?
What tips would you give someone who wants to leave the 9-5 type of job? Especially in this day and time of the pandemic and everyone is working from home, etc.
What words of caution would you give someone as well?
How can someone take that step of Faith, first, as you said, be sure you hear from God. But saying that is different than actually DOING something. So, what would you recommend if someone is moved by your story today and is contemplating taking that type of entrepreneurial step of faith?
Folks, Steven and his wife, Brittany, succeeded, basically for two reasons. One, they heard from God and two, they refused to lose. They knew if God said it would come to pass, it would come to pass. It works the same way for you, too. God is not a respecter of person. What He did for one, He will do for another – IF you have Faith to believe. Amen!
I urge you to get in touch with Steven. Ask questions. He may have some great information, tips and advice as well a unique perspective about how you can proceed and avoid some of the mistakes he has made along the way. But, you will not know if you don’t ask.

Let’s find out…as we begin part two of a great three part interview, with Steven Pemberton!
Now, your wife started to look for a job to help supplement the family income. And this was in e-commerce. Can you tell us about what that was like and how it worked out?
Then you decided to go all in with helping your wife in her business and quit your job?
Is it true that Amazon just killed your business, basically, overnight?
Fast forward, again. You took some time to fast and pray and you received a Word from the Lord that wasn’t exactly what your wife was believing for, right?
Soon after, you discovered a new avenue for your business? A new way to do e-commerce apart from Amazon?
How did your Faith grow during all of this?
And this has now allowed you to be a blessing to others and sow significantly into the Lord’s work?

Is it true that your wife was your, basically, your boss at your first job?
Then, your relationship grew and you decided to propose…?
Fast forward a bit. You’re working for the post office…and then you decide to quit your steady job in order to pursue your first entrepreneur opportunity. Care to share about that time and what the financial results were?
How did your faith keep you going at that time?
You took a new job that went from almost no hours per week to over 60 hours per week?
And then you moved to the Fort Worth, Texas area. I lived in south Fort Worth, near Crowley. You’re probably familiar with that area. I lived in apartments right on the very edge of southwest Fort Worth, I think it was just off of Alta Mesa Avenue. You were working a lot of hours by that time, right?

Prayed Upon: Breaking Free from Therapist Abuse Amy Nordhues pt 2
There are some people that choose a career in healthcare, mental care, public service – all because they want to help those in need. There are those that do so because they believe it will provide for a secure financial future for them and their families. There is nothing wrong with those motives. Nothing at all. In fact, if you can be of service to others and help to secure your financial future, that almost secures your career motives from the start.
But there are some who enter these fields for nefarious reasons. Maybe their good intentions were the initial factors for choosing that type of career. But, somewhere along the way, they realize that, for whatever reason, they can, let’s say, “Get more of (you fill in the blank).”
In some cases, this selfish motivation soon becomes their focus. It soon becomes a dark side that they “groom and prey upon” their victims. Manipulating them into providing whatever it is they crave and all the while encouraging them to remain silent about the activities. In some cases – or most cases, even to accept the responsibility for what has happened.
This becomes even more tragic, when these events happen at the intersection of power, vulnerability and religion. Yes, religion.
My guest today, Amy Nordhues, is a survivor of this type of circumstances.
Amy Nordhues is a survivor of both childhood sexual abuse and sexual abuse as an adult at the hands of a mental health professional. She is a passionate Christ-follower and expert on the healing God provides. She has a BA in Psychology with minors in Sociology and Criminology. Her latest book is,https://amzn.to/3Dom3b4 ( “Prayed Upon: Breaking Free from Therapist Abuse”) and won first place in the Inspire Christian Writer's "Great Openings" contest for non-fiction.
This person was a respected elder in the church. Did the pastor address the issue publicly in church? Or the did he allow the doctor to just “go away?”
You initially wanted to press criminal charges but was advised against it. Why?
How prevalent is this type of abuse among professional therapists, counselors, etc.? Are there any statistics on this?
When your friend reported all of this to the medical board, how long from that time until you attended his license forfeiture hearing?
Was he allowed to continue practicing and seeing other patients that entire year?
Amy, I want to thank you for sharing all of this information with us, through your book and all that you are doing to expose this evil that is among us.
Other than your book, https://amzn.to/3Dom3b4 (“Prayed Upon,”) are you doing any other work, talks, etc. to help others that have faced the same situations you went through?
And your book, https://amzn.to/3Dom3b4 (“Prayed Upon,”) is available in Kindle format on Amazon, correct? Any print versions released or coming out soon?
And if someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or maybe to do an interview such as this. How can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this down in the show notes.
Folks, unfortunately, in the fallen world in which we live, things like this, like what Amy went through – occur more frequently than we know or would like to admit. I encourage you to order Amy’s book https://amzn.to/3Dom3b4 (“Prayed Upon: Breaking Free from Therapist Abuse.” ) I would like to recommend you purchase two or three copies – or more! Or share them with others.
I’m sure you know of someone or have heard of someone that may have or may be going through, some similar type of abuse. Sow this into their life. You never know how it may help them. And give one copy to your pastor. This one book may open their spiritual eyes to situations in their church so, with the Holy Spirit’s help, they can identify and put a stop to this type of...

First question I always ask is this… Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Amy Nordhues?”
As I was going through this book, the abuse started back when you were three years old? Is that correct?
How much did that impact you growing up? In school, middle school and high school?
How old were you when you first started counseling?
I know in your book, we’ll just call him, “Dr. D.” But that was not the first time you seen him, from what I read in the beginning…
Let me ask you this, why did you write this book now? At this time of your life?
How did he groom you to accept what was happening as part of your therapy?
He also started to share details of his life with you…more or less making it appear you were helping him as he was helping you. Did you ever find out if any of that was true? Or did it matter?
At one point, he even said you were a witch. How did that come about and what was his reasoning for saying that?
Throughout your book, you mention little gifts he gave you along the way. Seemingly insignificant at face value, but they struck an emotional cord that actually drew you into his world. What should someone who is in therapy and wondering if they are facing the same thing – what should they be watching out for in this regard?
When he actually committed the sexual assault, you fled. But that really affected you. But then he called you and YOU accepted responsibility for what happened! How did he get you to do that?
You say God started to deal with you in this situation through various methods. Can you share some of the ways the Lord was speaking to you during all of this?
When you made the decision that enough was enough and you told the pastor and his wife, how did they react, initially?
Folks, you may know of someone or have heard of someone that may have or may be going through, some similar type of abuse. Sow this into their life. You never know how it may help them. And give one copy to your pastor. This one book may open their spiritual eyes to situations in their church so, with...

The Father’s Blessing Ray Hurst pt 2 There is no doubt that we live in a society that is broken. Broken politically. Broken culturally. Broken socially. In fact, the number of single parent households today exceeds anything that, even just one generation ago, could never have imagined.
When I grew up, traditional marriages were the norm. Where the father was the “spiritual leader of the house,” so to speak. When someone in town heard of a marriage ending in divorce, it was tragic. It was unusual. It was something that people would talk about for months! Simply because it was not normal.
Not so anymore. In fact, the number of marriages that end up in divorce almost match the number that don’t. It should not be that way – but it is.
As tragic as those numbers appear to be, there is also a hidden number that is sometimes forgotten. That of the children. Some children appear, on the surface, to do ok. But under that hardened shell, it’s just not so.
But children that are facing these things also miss out on the blessing a father can have on their lives. And sometimes, that blessing the difference in, well, just about everything.
My guest today also comes from a tragic background of knowing what the fear of abandonment and rejection is all about. Ray Hurst grew up without the leadership of the father in the house. He struggled, almost his entire life, not believing he was worthy or loved.
These struggles took him through, not one, but TWO devastating, life changing depressions. He’s gone bankrupt, losing his business and home – and almost lost his life.
After facing the second battle with depression, something significant happened that changed his trajectory in life. He realized there were so many other people out there that felt just like him.
He began assisting others as they faced their own hurts and fought their own battles to overcome the pain of rejection and abandonment. This ultimately gave Ray Hurst a sense of purpose. He now had a new calling in life – to reach out others in this world and help them to feel loved and wanted again.
His saying is he “will be to the world what the world wan to him when he needed them.”
He has written a book titled, “Daddy, Why Don’t You Love Me? – A Father’s Blessing to Son/Daughter, Healing the Wounds of the Absent and Abusive Father.”
How did you begin the process of walking in this special, unique calling God has now developed in you? I don’t think there are any classes on this in Seminary or Bible Schools…
I urge you to order a copy of Papa Ray Hurst’s book, “Daddy, Why Don’t You Love Me? – A Father’s Blessing to Son/Daughter, Healing the Wounds of the Absent and Abusive Father.”
Just go down into the show notes and click the links there. Get in touch with Papa Ray and see if he can help YOU to overcome these long held, deep rooted feelings. Amen! CONTACT INFORMATION: https://amzn.to/3DQIBle ()

As tragic as those numbers appear to be, there is also a hidden number that is sometimes forgotten. That of the children. Some children appear, on the surface, to do ok. But under that hardened shell, it’s just not so.
Some children are hurt physically. But almost every single one of them is hurt emotionally. I know. My father was married four times while I was growing up. My mother died when she was just 19 years old and I was only 18 months old. Thank God for loving grandparents. I was basically raised by them. But, every time my father would remarry, I would go back to live with him and my “new mom.” Then, a few years later, I’d be sent back to my grandparent's house as the marriage ended in divorce and almost every single time, my father would end up in prison for one reason or another.
I’m not sharing that information for sympathy. But to emphasize that these things happen even more so today than they did when I was growing up.
It just so happened that my situation involved the death of a parent in addition to the numerous divorces. I believe that is one of the main reasons I’ve been married for almost 45 years to my wonderful wife. I know, first hand, the devasting effect of what divorce can do to children and made every effort to ensure my kids never had to face that.
But children that are facing these things also miss out on the blessing a father can have on their lives. And sometimes, that blessing the difference in, well, just about everything.
My guest today also comes from a tragic background of knowing what the fear of abandonment and rejection is all about. Ray Hurst grew up without the leadership of the father in the house. He struggled, almost his entire life, not believing he was worthy or loved.

He has written a book titled, “Daddy, Why Don’t You Love Me? – A Father’s Blessing to Son/Daughter, Healing the Wounds of the Absent and Abusive Father.”
First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Papa Ray Hurst?”
How did this fear of abandonment, basically, develop to the point it became rooted in your mind to the point it caused all of these problems to manifest?
When did you realize the root cause of all your problems went back to what you went through as a child?
Ray explains, what he calls, the “Mechanics of Emotions.” What is that and why is it important?
Ray explains, what he calls, the “Genesis 3:16 model.”

End Time Living David Heeren pt 2 My guest today is David Heeren. David was on our program back in July of 2021 and if you missed his great interview then, you can go to our archives and search for episodes 942 and 943.
David Heeren has a life history of logical study of statistics. In fact, he is the statistician that created the system used today for rating basketball players and teams. And he created this way back in 1961 while working for the New York Knicks – and it is still used worldwide today! Amen! He knows numbers. He knows facts. He knows how to put them together to develop logical programs that really tell the story.
David has spent the better part of the last 16 years studying the Bible and other references. His most recent book is https://amzn.to/2ZlDCcU (“End-Time Living: Despite Conflict and Hardship – All is Well!”)
David says there is evidence indicating we have entered the early phase of the “end of days.” Yet, he remains optimistic. His book, https://amzn.to/2ZlDCcU (“End-Time Living: Despite Conflict and Hardship – All is Well!”) defines a Christian lifestyle that will produce fulfillment and joy – even under the prophesied duress of the end-times. David shares that no matter what believers must endure during the tribulation, and no matter how bad things get, those who stand firm for Jesus until the end WILL be Blessed! Amen!
What are some future things that are beginning to take shape on the horizon now, that Jesus also referred to as happening in the end times?
Our main focus should be on evangelism and sharing the Word with those who are lost an on their way to hell. I mean, if they persist in rejecting the Word of God and offer of salvation in, by and through Christ Jesus, that is there ultimate destination.
But those efforts are being thwarted by laws and human powers now, more than ever. What should we be prepared for as the time draws closer to wrapping up, what is known as “The Christian age?”
What kinds of things should we, individually and collectively as a body of believers, what kinds of things should we prepare for, good or bad, as that time draws near?
We will be facing things that Christians have not faced since the Roman times, for the most part. How can believers prepare for what you are sharing with us – so we do not falter under the pressure?
You say there is one important issue not being discussed in End-Time living. What is that thing?
David, in your book (and in the Bible, for that matter), we are told that “those who endure to the end will be blessed."
As we prepare for the “end of times” in this world, what will life be like for the believers who refuse to “bow” to the mandates of this world?
David, this has been so interesting. How can someone obtain a copy of your book, https://amzn.to/2ZlDCcU (“End-Time Living: Despite Conflict and Hardship – All is Well!”) – is it available on Amazon?
Folks, as I said in the beginning of this program, there is absolutely no doubt – and after talking with David Heeren today, there should be absolutely no doubt in your mind, that we are living in the last of the last days before all of this wraps up. Time, as we know it, is about to end. For believers, that is victory! We enter into our Eternal rest with Jesus and other believers forever. But for those that cling to this world – what they will be entering into is indescribable pain and torment – forever.
We need to share the Gospel with everyone we meet. Especially our family and friends, start there. And, as David Heeren as detailed for us in his book https://amzn.to/2ZlDCcU (“End-Time Living: Despite Conflict and Hardship – All is Well!”) – we need to be prepared to stand for our Faith. Never wavering.
How long should we be prepared to stand? For as long as it takes – even to the end. The scripture says, “Having done all to stand – stand therefore…” If you are prepared to stand forever, you will find out you don’t have to stand there for...
End Time Living David Heeren pt 1 My guest today is David Heeren. David was on our program back in July of 2021 and if you missed his great interview then, you can go to our archives and search for episodes 942 and 943.
David Heeren has a life history of logical study of statistics. In fact, he is the statistician that created the system used today for rating basketball players and teams. And he created this way back in 1961 while working for the New York Knicks – and it is still used worldwide today! Amen! He knows numbers. He knows facts. He knows how to put them together to develop logical programs that really tell the story.

Help me welcome back to the program, David Heeren. David, thank you taking the time to come back on and tell us about your new book!
There can no doubt in the mind of any true, Spirit filled Christian believer, that we are living in the end days. None. In your studies of scripture, what are some of the events we are witnessing now and how do you relate them, what the Bible calls, “the end days?”
The forward of your book is riveting. And it is spot on accurate as well. Could you summarize it for our listeners?
I want to get your opinion on a couple of things…
Do you see any relationship with the COVID outbreak and the End Times scenario of “pestilences?”
What about the governments of the world instituting mask mandates and requiring everyone to get vaccinated. Not to mention their attempt to institute “vaccine passports” to travel, etc.?
What are some future things that are beginning to take shape on the horizon now, that Jesus also referred to as happening in the end times?
Our main focus should be on evangelism and sharing the Word with those who are lost an on their way to hell. I mean, if they persist in rejecting the Word of God and offer of salvation in, by and through Christ Jesus, that is there ultimate destination.
Folks, there should be absolutely no doubt in your mind, that we are living in the last of the last days before all of this wraps up. Time, as we know it, is about to end. For believers, that is victory!
I believe David Heeren’s new book, https://amzn.to/2ZlDCcU (“End-Time Living: Despite Conflict and Hardship – All is Well!”) would make a great Christmas gift for everyone on your list this year. It is a Word in season that can change the destiny of someone you love and care about. CONTACT INFORMATION: https://amzn.to/2ZlDCcU ()

You Didn't See This Coming! Tom Donnan pt 3 With what seems like breaking news every single night, with all of it shouting “woe woe woe” and then trying to blame it all on the Christian right, is it any wonder that the “woe woe woe” is an apt metaphor that the Bible says will be declared by the angel in the Book of the Revelation as everything is wrapping up? Praise God! That’s what I say about all of this…
But, to help us put the nightly news in perspective, is our good friend, Tom Donnan. Every time Tom comes back on the program, he brings insightful, meaningful and relevant information that we see on the evening news, and puts it into a Biblical perspective. (Tom and I are discussing energy shortages and the rising costs consumers are facing – all indicative of hyper-inflation in the making…)
Things are in short supply, nations scrambling to get them. Is there an Energy Crisis in the making?
China, India running short of Coal to power Electric Company’s
Natural Gas in large supply. Will it affect heating homes this winter?
Due to lack of Energy in China, factories are being shut down, contributing to shortages of all kinds of products
Getting tires for cars, six to nine months back ordered
Tractor parts and tires are eighteen months wait time for parts.
In the time we have left – I want you to discuss a dream you recently had about what is about to happen in the United States – and for that matter – across the world. And it had to do with a “Spiritual Power Transfer.” Can you tell us about that?
You kept seeing the number 17. Why does that mean “complete victory?”
Are we beginning to see this “power transfer” occurring in the natural, like here in America?

Finally, you wanted to tell us about a rise in the presence of God in a couple of churches in particular?
Tom, all of this was interesting – as usual. Again, it goes to the day and time in which we live and which the Bible has told us life would be like just before the Return of Jesus.
Would you pray for someone who, listening today, the Holy Spirit has tugged at their heart, opened their spiritual eyes of understanding and they now have a desire to receive Jesus as their Savior? Would you pray for them?
Tom, how can someone get in touch with you if they wanted to ask a question or maybe do an interview like this with you?

Let’s shift gears a bit here. We talked last time about the large number of ships off the California coast unable to come into port and offload their cargo. Have you seen the recent news that, even if they can get off loaded – there are not enough trucks to deliver the cargo to the intended recipient stores! Many are being stored in neighborhoods because there is no longer any room in the ports! This is crazy!
Supply Chain problems: Unforeseen measures with shipping containers.

Some are parked in neighborhood streets.

The slogan was “Slow the spread for 15 days.” Then it went to 30 days. Then 90 days. Suddenly, we are no longer interested in “slowing the spread.” It’s all about control. We were talking about building up the “herd immunity.” People that had the virus and recovered were considered to be immune. But not now. The left no longer wants to discuss “natural immunity.”
Then, we just receive a “warning” from the powers that be, we are going to face, in some cases, a 50% increase in energy costs this winter.
It’s amazing to me how we went from being an energy independent country, actually selling oil to other countries, to one that is now facing an energy crisis – all a result of socialist policies in just the span of one year. Amazing. CONTACT INFORMATION: Links: healingthenation1776@gmail.com

Now, as we get ready to dive into this Tom, I want to play for you a little clip that I think will set the stage for what you wanted to talk about first. Listen to this…

Have you seen the recent controversy surrounding the mandated COVID vaccines? Some people are losing their jobs, even though they have medical clearance to NOT take the vaccine for health reasons. And some are just outright quitting their careers instead of bowing the pressure of the government.

“No Discernable Relationship” between Vaccines and Cases
Latest study.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeSJWGSnN8A (“No Discernable Relationship” between Vaccines and Cases - YouTube)
It’s just like making school kids wear masks in class. Government officials and others keep talking about “studies that have proven kids wearing masks in class help prevent the spread” of COVID. BUT – that is not true. It is only opinion. WHY? Because there have been NO true studies conducted. In order to have a true study, they need to have a control group. That’s what the pharmaceutical companies had to do with their vaccines. You have a control group that does not get the vaccine; you have control group that does and then you measure the results. That has not been done on ANY level with kids in the classrooms.
You have some schools that did not require masks and they said they have “X” number of cases. You have others that did require masks and they have “Y” number of cases. But NO STUDY where they were conducted in the same school, with control groups, etc. None.

The Faithful Creative David Lee Martin pt 3 Do you have an entrepreneur spirit? Do you have a dream inside of you? Perhaps you have a book inside of you just trying to get out. Something that will be a blessing to all those who read it. Blessing them even more when they implement whatever your book teaches them?
Well, you will want to pay attention to what our guest has to share today. Amen!
David Lee Martin and his wife Larna, have spent over 20 years planting and pastoring churches. A little over 7 years ago, they moved into the business-oriented arena by starting a Christian publishing company called “PureRead.com.” He has now crossed over the 7-figure mark in Amazon royalties simply from short Christian fiction books! Praise God!
This is part three and the conclusion of a fabulous, three part interview I recently had with David.
David also coaches Christian authors, artists and entrepreneurs to share their knowledge and experiences with the world through his books, courses and memberships which you can find at http://www.davidleemartin.net/ (www.davidleemartin.net).
David has just published a new book titled, https://www.davidleemartin.net/faithful-creative (“God’s Call to Christian Creativity and Entrepreneurship.”)
Some people have a book inside of them, but they don’t know how to get it out. How do you recommend someone proceed in that aspect? Especially if they do not know how to write a book?
Do you recommend ghost writers as something that can help potential authors get started?
But isn’t that an expensive option for most new writers? They don’t have a 7-figure income when they are just starting out…
What steps would you recommend for our listeners take to sift through and find a qualified writer?
Tell us about https://pureread.com/ (PureRead.com. )
Do you receive unsolicited manuscripts or how does that work if someone wanted to get more information on using your publishing company?
David, this is all so fascinating. If someone wanted to get in touch with you or has a question, how can they get in touch with you?
And your book, if they wanted to get a copy of https://www.davidleemartin.net/faithful-creative (“The Christian Creative” book,) how can they do that? Is it on Amazon?
I now a lot of your other works are on Amazon, correct?
I’ll put links to all of this down below in the show notes.
Folks, there you have it! David Lee Martin has, basically, thrown down the gauntlet! He is challenging you to release the Christian Creative part of you that you’ve been holding back. Release that part of you to start sharing with the world messages the Lord has put on the inside of you! Your story, your experiences, etc. need to get out! You have something inside of you that will be a blessing to someone, somewhere! Amen!
I urge you to go down into the show notes and get in touch with David Lee Martin today…while you are thinking about it. Just a short email will get the ball rolling in blessing the world with what is already bottled up inside of you. Don’t let the devil try to talk you out of it! Amen!

This is part two of a GREAT, three part interview!
You share that all of us have a type of “creative DNA” as children of God. Can you explain that for us?
Is the entrepreneurial call into marketplace ministry something unique to only those who have a gift or training for writing books and things like that?
Between those you help and the books you’ve written, you have over 600 published books?
How many of those did you write personally?
Let’s talk about “How to” books and “Fiction books” for a minute. Does either one of these author types have to have some special skills or training?
You teach about a “5 stone framework” that folks can use to share their works more consistently and effectively. Can you share that framework with us?
Some people have a book inside of them, but they don’t know how to get it out. How do you recommend someone proceed in that aspect? Especially if they do not know how to write a book?
Folks, you need to
release the Christian Creative part of you that you’ve been holding back. Release that part of you to start sharing with the world messages the Lord has put on the inside of you!

The first question I always ask is this… Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is David Lee Martin?”
Before you found yourself doing what you are doing now, you were pastoring churches, planting churches, etc. What sparked you to try and get into the book writing business?
And, if I’m remembering correctly, your first books were published on a photo copier? Is that right?
When did you do the big leap to Amazon publishing and what has that done for your ministry, your business and for you personally?
And that has allowed you to create a 7-figure income simply from Amazon royalties!

Penury City Thomas Nastek pt 2 As we watch events unfolding on our evening news, many wonder, “What’s happening?” If you are a person of Faith, you know what’s happening. You know the Jesus and the Gospel writers prophesied that everything we see happening right now would take place before the return of Jesus.
But, what do we have to look forward to as that day approaches? Many people have given their viewpoints. Movies have been made. Books written. And that brings me to my guest today…
Thomas Nastek is a systems engineer from upstate New York. But he has always had a passion for writing and music. This has allowed him an outlet for his creative gifts. Most often, he has been writing fiction novels that reflect the Christian/Catholic themes with inspiring messages of hope.
His most recent works a trilogy of books titled centered around the theme of “Penury City.”
This series of books is not just a story for our day and time we live in. No, it is a book ABOUT the day and time we live in. Think about that for a minute. Amen! This series of books is about the adventure or Biblical fathers wrote about that is being played out right now, in the day and time in which we live. But yet, there are millions, if not billions, of people that do not realize that! This is the chance for us to live out and achieve the ultimate goal that we, as Christians, have been pursuing for thousands of years. To finally find the answer the question that has been burning in us for all of this time, namely, “God, are you there?”
The path Dr. Saul Kriesh must follow is interesting. You have a series of connected, underground tunnels. Like an entire transportation highway. Tell us a little bit about this dangerous path and how he finds his way?
Ok, let’s move to book two…
https://amzn.to/2ZtpaQh (“Penury City – The Ire of the Shekel).” Tell us what this “shekel” represents.
This group has now reached the city they have been traveling to. But it is not what they think?
So in this book, it kind of ties together the setting from book one, https://amzn.to/3CdMrno (“Penury City – The Light of Gabriel.” ) and the ultimate destination in book three, which is https://amzn.to/3CaOFnz (“Penury City – The Zealots Return?”)
Let’s move on then to book number three. Can you introduce us to book number three, https://amzn.to/3CaOFnz (“Penury City – The Zealots Return?”)
Some of the things in the story is fantastic. Do you actually believe these types of things can happen?
You say that, in book three, https://amzn.to/3CaOFnz (“Penury City – The Zealots Return,”) that sometimes, “all that is left is to send in ‘crazy.’” Can you explain that for us?
I’m not going to ask you to reveal the outcome of the final battle… I’m not going to lie, yes I am. I just won’t ask you to tell us the plot line and all that. But, tell us, do the good guys win in the end?
Is this book series for everyone? Or are you trying to reach a specific demographic?
Thomas, this has been a fascinating interview, to say the least. I’m not usually one that reads fiction or novels. I usually will only read one if it is something that can truly hold my interest and make we wonder, “What IF…?” And your series has done just that.
How can our listeners order your books? I take it they are on Amazon, correct?
And what about book number four? “The Peshar.” Where can that book be purchased?
Do they order one at a time or can they order the entire series together?
Thomas, if someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or possibly to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.
Folks, there is no doubt we are living in troubled times. Times the Bible has told us would happen just before all of this, that we now know, will be wrapped up. Thomas Nastek takes all of the questions we have, all that we see happening – and the ultimate...

Help me welcome to the program, Thomas Nastek!
Thomas, thank you for taking the time to join us on the program today.
First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Thomas Nastek?”
To set the tone for these books, tell us about WHY you decided to write this series, “Penury City” now?
And what is, where is, “Penury City?”
I know your fourth book is sort of a side by side, author’s viewpoint, that the readers can use to assist them as they read through these books. It’s titled, “The Peshar.” It was written to explain some things and give your readers a chance to see what you were thinking as you were writing these books. So, let’s sort of encapsulate that into this interview as I want you to briefly walk us through the trilogy.
Book one: https://amzn.to/3CdMrno (“Penury City – The Light of Gabriel.” ) Give us the introductory plot and characters that you start off with.
And that can relate to most people today. We are looking at our belief system under attack, every day, from every front. Abortion, gay marriage, transgenderism, pornography, addictions, the spread of socialism, etc. So the star of the book, Dr. Saul Kriesh, is facing battles with his conscious as well as social concerns as well.
The path Dr. Saul Kriesh must follow is interesting. You have a series of connected, underground tunnels. Like an entire transportation highway. Tell us a little bit about this dangerous path and how he finds his way?
Ok, let’s move to book two…
https://amzn.to/2ZtpaQh (“Penury City – The Ire of the Shekel).” Tell us what this “shekel” represents.
This group has now reached the city they have been traveling to. But it is not what they think?
So in this book, it kind of ties together the setting from book one, https://amzn.to/3CdMrno (“Penury City – The Light of Gabriel.” ) and the ultimate destination in book three, which is https://amzn.to/3CaOFnz (“Penury City – The Zealots Return?”)
Let’s move on then to book number three. Can you introduce us to book number three, https://amzn.to/3CaOFnz (“Penury City – The Zealots Return?”)
Folks, there is no doubt we are living in troubled times. Times the Bible has told us would happen just before all of this, that we now know, will be wrapped up. Thomas Nastek takes all of the questions we have, all that we see happening – and the ultimate answer – and weaves a story that...
Freedom From Bondage Ruth Kriner pt 1 We all have secret little sins in our life that nobody knows about or that we don’t want anyone to know about. But yet, God does know about them.
It could be an addiction to food, alcohol, drugs, sex, the list goes on and on.
How do we get God to “forget” about them? Well, by accepting the Lord Jesus as our Savior and becoming born again… of course!
But yet, those memories still haunt us. Even if nobody else knows about them, we still do. They always seem to creep up on us and try to hold us back from becoming the man or woman of God that we are meant to be.
If that sounds like you, then you are in the right place today!
My guest today is an author of several books, but her latest is one in which she shares the seven steps that God led her to take to overcome sexual addiction in her life. Her passion now is to share what she has learned with others and help them to find a way out of the pit of lies the devil has tried to keep them in.
Ruth Kriner was born into a family of six in Walla Walla, Washington, on Pearl Harbor Day. Since her oldest sibling was twenty years her senior she often spent time alone during her formative years. That period was the beginning of Ruth's exploration of creative ways to keep herself occupied. Now, much older and with grown children, she felt the Holy Spirit presenting her with another outlet for her creativity. God suggested that she write a book, and as He is her passion, writing about Jesus became a natural course to follow, and she has written more books! Praise God!
But her latest book is titled: https://amzn.to/3n7Nteo (“Freedom From Bondage: God’s 7 Steps for Freeing Captives from Secret Sins & Failures!”)
You outline 7 steps to victory in your book. Can you briefly go over the Seven Steps for us, to give our listeners a glimpse into what they will receive when they order your book?

Other than brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Ruth Kriner?”
So, why did you believe this was the time to write and publish your book, https://amzn.to/3n7Nteo (“Freedom From Bondage?”)
Tell us about the near miss collision on a rural highway that opened your eyes to how you were living your life…
You share that, “unless we are honest with our reflection in the mirror, this book will not help.” Can you explain what it is you mean by that?
What can your readers expect as they go through this book?
You dive into a discussion about Adam and Eve and you make the statement, “Concealing the truth triggered many unbecoming sinful actions.” How does this “snowball effect” of deflecting blame instead of admitting wrong doing affect people today with their problems, addictions, etc?

Influencing Culture Through Social Media Marnie Swedberg pt 2 Social media has become a major player in the culture, not just here in America, but around the world. It is almost impossible to do anything anymore without some kind of presence on social media. You are able to reach out and connect with people from your childhood school days, long lost relatives and people that you’ve never met from just about anywhere. If you have a business or ministry, you can reach people it would be almost impossible to reach, if not for social media.
But, despite all of those obvious benefits, social media can be a bit scary, too! It is very easy to get consumed by it. I mean, there was a time when I would spend almost four hours per day on social media and not get any work accomplished. That is when I made the decision to limit my time to just a few minutes per day, among other things.
But, to help us with understanding all of the nuances of social media, the “good, bad and the ugly,” is our good friend, Marnie Swedberg. Marnie was on a few months back and we just had such a great conversation – I just had to have back on to talk about social media today.
In case you missed episodes 968 and 969, let me share just a little bit about Marnie Swedberg.
She is the author of 13 books, a leadership mentor to over 15,000 leaders from 35 countries, providing a “God centric focus” with practical help and coaching. She is also the host of the #1 ranked and featured Blog Talk Radio program, https://www.blogtalkradio.com/marniesfriends (“Marnie’s Friends Talk Radio: Perspective Transformation.”) She is also the founder and director of “Bible Study Expo” and https://www.womenspeakers.com/ (“Woman Speaker.com”) (the largest online directory of its kind in the world).
Do all of these social media platforms accomplish the same end result? Or should we use different platforms for different functions?
It seems like there are new social media platforms that are popping up every week. I know we should be paying attention to these new platforms and not just sticking with the well-known ones. I mean, there was a time when “My Space” was the place to be. Not so much anymore. People were all in on VHS and Beta tapes before, too. Block Buster Video stores were the rage. But times change.
How can we know when to change social media platforms and not be left in the dust when things change?
I referenced, in the opening, that I discovered I was spending way too much time on social media and not getting any work accomplished. After that, I barely use social media now. I might get on there for 10 minutes or so every day. I know I’m not utilizing social media the way I should be. My marketing assistant keeps harping at me to get with the times! Amen! But I just find it hard to commit to going to down that road again.
How can we maximize the minutes we have available in order to invest in social media properly?
What about the algorithms and things like that? I heard or read that FaceBook only promotes your posts to about 20% of the contacts you have or something like that. That means 80% of the people you are trying to reach never see your posts. That doesn’t sound like a fair game to me, right?
How should someone get started into promoting their business on social media?
What if they’ve been on social media, posting cat pictures and dinner choices for the past year, but now want to use their social media accounts for business or ministry purposes? It will not look good to promote your pages, etc. with funny cat pictures if you are trying to be serious in launching a business, right?
Do you offer any type of service or program to help them travel down this twisting road to becoming a social media influencer?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to check out your programs or may even to do an interview like this, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
I’ll put all of this in the show...

Social media can be beneficial, especially in business or ministry.

Challenging Women to Embrace Change Carenda DeonneHave you ever felt like life is spiraling out of control? Or that you are being pressured to be “perfect” in everything you do. This is especially true if you are in the ministry in some form or fashion. God forbid you should ever be anything BUT perfect, right? It seems like people today are putting unnecessary pressure on themselves to live a life of perfection. Then, when they do not live up to the perfect image, they feel like they have failed. Failed in life, failed in business, failed in marriage – you get the picture. Well, my guest today was just like you. Carenda Deonne she lived like this for many years as a former pastors wife and entrepreneur. After two failed marriages and business relationships, Carenda stopped pointing the finger outward and pointed inward. She confronted her own imperfections, lack of self-love and trust. Only when she was “Carenda,” was she able to life a full and fruitful life. Now, she is licensed minister, a contributing writer to “Grace and Glory Magazine,” the founder and organizer of P.H.S. which stands for “Prospering Healthy Souls,” which is a Christian centered group for professional women. Through this group, she helps women in fostering prosperity through wisdom, healing and strategy for both, personal and professional growth. Carenda Deonne is also the a published author of three books, the latest is titled, https://amzn.to/3kTehiQ (“Perfect Patty Messed Up Devotional,”) which we will be discussing today. She is a professional speaker and takes her message of “IMPACT” all across the world, as she is determined to be an undeniable voice and calls herself, an “agent of change.” Help me welcome to the program, Carenda Deonne! First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Carenda Deonne?” Now, from your bio, I guess it would be safe to say that your life has not always been one of sunshine and roses, right?” At what point in your life did you realize you had to take care of you? Why do you identify yourself as a “Change Agent?” What does that mean? Why do you believe some people are so hesitant to embrace change? As you go through the process of helping your clients, what is one of the major misconceptions you find that people have concerning change? I know I’ve talked to some folks that were going through some issues, they felt like, “once I get through this, THEN I’ll do such and such.” Have you found that to be true as well? I mean, why do some people find it so hard to embrace change, especially when they KNOW they must change, until they “go through” whatever it is they are experiencing at that moment? Tell us about your book, https://amzn.to/3kTehiQ (“Perfect Patty Messed Up Devotional.”) What is this book about? How can someone get a copy of https://amzn.to/3kTehiQ (“Perfect Patty Messed Up Devotional?”) Is it on Amazon? What other services do you provide? If someone has a question or wanted to reach out to you, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you? I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below. Folks, I know you know someone who can use Carenda’s services. I also know that you or someone you know would be blessed by Carenda’s new book, https://amzn.to/3kTehiQ (“Perfect Patty Messed Up Devotional.”) Just go down into the show notes and click the links right there. Get in touch with Carenda. Invite her out to speak to your group or conference. Get in touch online to access her services…and be sure to order her book, https://amzn.to/3kTehiQ (“Perfect Patty Messed Up Devotional,” ) In fact, as this goes to air, you know Christmas is just around the corner. https://amzn.to/3kTehiQ (“Perfect Patty Messed Up Devotional”) would make a great gift for someone you know. Carenda, I want to thank you for taking the time from your busy schedule to...
When Things Go Wrong Tom Donnan pt 2If you’ve been watching the news lately, the major story has been about mandates issued by the government that people be forced to get their vaccinations. There have been threats issued by businesses and even the military, that if you do not get vaccinated, you lose your job or your career. Who is it that is forcing this issue? It is none other than the government of the United States. You know, the one’s who are supposed to protecting the right of “free choice” and “personal freedom…” The one’s who are concerned about individual rights, etc. Unless, of course, it does not fit their political agenda. Despite the science that says there is only a 0.0001 % chance of dying from COVID – even without a vaccination. I wonder if big pharma, you know, the companies that have developed the vaccinations themselves, are behind the political push to make sure every person in the world is going to get a vaccination. I wonder how much money they will make from various governments per shot. Interesting to think about, isn’t it? Well, to talk about all of this and more, is our good friend, Tom Donnan! This is part two of an amazing two part interview! Have you heard anything about something called “shielding camps?” Kind of like a new style of concentration camp under the guise of “protecting us” from the unvaccinated. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VfrffosEtDc (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VfrffosEtDc) And these “shielding camps” are beginning to appear in the USA, correct? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VfrffosEtDc (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VfrffosEtDc) This goes to the case that we’ve made that the left, basically the Democrats and Joe Biden, are pushing their one world government agenda on this nation. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ncin8ewj88U (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ncin8ewj88U) We can see that the left does not really care about the people of the United States. All they care about is maintaining power. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sJb15Jce7uM (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sJb15Jce7uM) They are forcing people to get vaccinated or face losing their career, their income and their businesses. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qI9kOw4K6is&pp=QAFIAQ%3D%3D (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qI9kOw4K6is&pp=QAFIAQ%3D%3D) Tom, with all of this stuff going on, I do not want to end this program without a Word of Hope. Is there hope for America in all of this? Farmers in Oregon coming together in a large number to pray and to thank God for His provision. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QlpRDI5beFE (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QlpRDI5beFE) Tom, there is only one hope – and His name is Jesus. Would you do the privilege of leading someone, somewhere, to the foot of the cross if, what we have talked about today, has sparked someone to seek hope? True Hope. Folks, we have only scratched the surface of things going on all around us. Tom and I could talk for hours on any one of these topics that we just covered. The point behind this discussion is not “how bad it’s gotten.” No. Our point is that these things have been called out to us in the Bible. Every single thing can be referenced in some form or fashion as foretelling, what many call, “the end times.” Amen! If you prayed that prayer with Tom, use the contact information to reach out and let him know! Amen!

I wonder how much money they will make from various governments per shot. Interesting to think about, isn’t it? Well, to talk about all of this and more, is our good friend, Tom Donnan! Now, far warning, every time Tom Donnan comes on the program, we have an outline of what we will discuss – but the Holy Spirit sometimes leads us down some rabbit trails that are unplanned and, well, let’s just say “adventurous.” So fasten your seat belts because we are about to take off! Amen! Help me welcome back to the program, our good friend, Tom Donnan! Tom, before we get into the issue of government overreach, I want to venture a little farther out. Like, “outer space.” Then work our way back to planet earth and ultimately, to the decline of the United States of America. We always discuss signs in the heavens, including stars and other such things. But you found out there might be some stars that have gone missing, right? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=X3xddkS4H80 (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=X3xddkS4H80) That covers what is happening in space. But there are things going on right here on earth that has caused some great concern. Such as the recent volcanic activity in the Canary Islands, correct? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OilLXhW12CE (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OilLXhW12CE) Some of the volcanic activity has caused tsunami warnings as well. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XoYBAsHHXsk (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XoYBAsHHXsk) And all of this is in addition to the turmoil taking place all over the planet. Riots, protests and things like that. Basically, do you think society itself is starting to break down? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3VWQGkZ3GcU (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3VWQGkZ3GcU) It’s not just in the United States either. Australia has, basically, gone full on authoritarian government. Have you seen this? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-yAq_8w-CI8 (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-yAq_8w-CI8) They actually have people quarantined and refuse to let them go, despite them having the vaccines! https://rumble.com/vm5ud4-absolutely-chilling-video-from-inside-australian-hotel-quarantine.html (https://rumble.com/vm5ud4-absolutely-chilling-video-from-inside-australian-hotel-quarantine.html) Have you heard anything about something called “shielding camps?” Kind of like a new style of concentration camp under the guise of “protecting us” from the unvaccinated. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VfrffosEtDc (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VfrffosEtDc) And these “shielding camps” are beginning to appear in the USA, correct? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VfrffosEtDc (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VfrffosEtDc) This goes to the case that we’ve made that the left, basically the Democrats and Joe Biden, are pushing their one world government agenda on this nation. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ncin8ewj88U (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ncin8ewj88U) Folks, we have only scratched the surface of...
Healing Through ServiceAaron Quinonez pt 3I grew up in the Vietnam Era. I joined the military straight out of high school just a few years after Vietnam ended. I have seen the effects of what we now call PTSD on friends and fellow soldiers that served prior to my enlistment. I know many of our war veterans back then did not know, nor did anyone else for that matter, what PTSD was or how it affected our veterans. Fast forward 25 years and we understand a lot more about PTSD and its effects. But yet, many of our war veterans still struggle with these battle scars. Some have such a hard time readjusting to civilian life, they decide to take their own life. My guest today has experienced just this sort of turmoil. Aaron Quinonez is a Marine combat veteran who joined the service straight out of high school. Serving 8 years in the Marines and a combat tour in Iraq as part of the Marine 1stANGLICO unit. In case you were wondering about the military acronym for ANGLICO it stands for “Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company” which is the only US Dept. of Defense unit capable of bringing in direct fire support for ground forces from air, sea or land and they are regularly part of special operations forces in combat. Sgt. Quinonez returned to civilian life, only to find that the real battle had just begun. Suffering from depression, anger and panic attacks, he was diagnosed with PTSD. But just being diagnosed with a problem and receiving the needed help are two entirely different things. This affected Sgt. Quinonez (or “Sgt. Q” as he is called now) decided it would be better to just take his own life that continuing in the agony he was facing on a daily basis. Today is the conclusion of a great three part interview with "Sgt Q." He has been sharing how Jesus delivered him, gave him a new life, a new calling and he is now in charge of what is called, https://www.qmissions.org/ (“Q Missions.”) This is a pathway for veterans and fellow warfighters to help them replace the battle scars of their minds with the joy of serving others through building churches, homes, feeding children and suppling precious hope to struggling communities worldwide. Sgt. Q has also authored a new book titled, https://amzn.to/3EShdnN (“Healing Thru Service: The Warriors Guide to Overcoming Trauma.”) Tell us about https://operationpopsmoke.com/ (“Operation Pop Smoke.” ) I know the phraseology for “pop smoke” but how have you used this term to communicate with veterans that need assistance? And your book, https://amzn.to/3EShdnN (“Healing Thru Service: The Warriors Guide to Overcoming Trauma.” ) Why did you decide to publish this book at this time? Who was this book written for? Sgt. Q, this is all so fascinating. And the services you are providing to help struggling veterans has also been recognized by the Veterans Administration, correct? Your book, https://amzn.to/3EShdnN (“Healing Thru Service: The Warriors Guide to Overcoming Trauma”) is a must have for every veteran and families of veterans. Where can someone order your book? Is it on Amazon? If someone has a question about your book or your organization, https://www.qmissions.org/ (“Q Missions”) or https://operationpopsmoke.com/ (“Operation Pop Smoke”) – how can they get in touch with you? Folks, veteran PTSD and veteran suicides are a very real and very serious reality in this country. Just as this condition is very individual in nature, where every person suffers in their own way, the help needs to be individualized as well. Organizations such as those founded by Sgt. Q are not only needful, but directly impacting those who need help and need help now. Your donations are needed – right now. Someone, somewhere is suffering – right now. There is no better time to provide help, than right now. Go down into the show notes and click the links there to get in touch with Sgt. Q and his...

Fast forward 25 years and we understand a lot more about PTSD and its effects. But yet, many of our war veterans still struggle with these battle scars. Some have such a hard time readjusting to civilian life, they decide to take their own life. My guest today has experienced just this sort of turmoil. Aaron Quinonez is a Marine combat veteran who joined the service straight out of high school. Serving 8 years in the Marines and a combat tour in Iraq as part of the Marine 1stANGLICO unit. In case you were wondering about the military acronym for ANGLICO it stands for “Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company” which is the only US Dept. of Defense unit capable of bringing in direct fire support for ground forces from air, sea or land and they are regularly part of special operations forces in combat. Sgt. Quinonez returned to civilian life, only to find that the real battle had just begun. Suffering from depression, anger and panic attacks, he was diagnosed with PTSD. But just being diagnosed with a problem and receiving the needed help are two entirely different things. This affected Sgt. Quinonez (or “Sgt. Q” as he is called now) decided it would be better to just take his own life that continuing in the agony he was facing on a daily basis. Today is part two of a three part interview with "Sgt Q." He has been sharing how Jesus delivered him, gave him a new life, a new calling and he is now in charge of what is called, https://www.qmissions.org/ (“Q Missions.”) This is a pathway for veterans and fellow warfighters to help them replace the battle scars of their minds with the joy of serving others through building churches, homes, feeding children and suppling precious hope to struggling communities worldwide. Sgt. Q has also authored a new book titled, https://amzn.to/3EShdnN (“Healing Thru Service: The Warriors Guide to Overcoming Trauma.”) Take us through some of the turmoil PTSD has on a war veteran. I know not everyone suffers the same things or to the same degree. But in general, what are some of the things going on the mind of someone suffering from PTSD? Then came the day you decided to take your life. Can you give us what was going through your mind on that day and what happened to make you change your decision? 25 min zoom edit How did you decide to start https://www.qmissions.org/ (“Q Missions?”) Tell us about https://operationpopsmoke.com/ (“Operation Pop Smoke.” ) I know the phraseology for “pop smoke” but how have you used this term to communicate with veterans that need assistance? Folks, veteran PTSD and veteran suicides are a very real and very serious reality in this country. Just as this condition is very individual in nature, where every person suffers in their own way, the help needs to be individualized as well. Organizations such as those founded by Sgt. Q are not only needful, but directly impacting those who need help and need help now. Your donations are needed – right now. Someone, somewhere is suffering – right now. There is no better time to provide help, than right now. Go down into the show notes and click the links there to get in touch with Sgt.

Healing Through Service Aaron Quinonez pt 1I grew up in the Vietnam Era. I joined the military straight out of high school just a few years after Vietnam ended. I have seen the effects of what we now call PTSD on friends and fellow soldiers that served prior to my enlistment. I know many of our war veterans back then did not know, nor did anyone else for that matter, what PTSD was or how it affected our veterans. Fast forward 25 years and we understand a lot more about PTSD and its effects. But yet, many of our war veterans still struggle with these battle scars.

Q” as he is called now) decided it would be better to just take his own life that continuing in the agony he was facing on a daily basis. But, since he is a guest today, I guess you could say, that was not the end of the story! Jesus delivered him, giving him a new life, a new calling and he is now in charge of what is called, https://www.qmissions.org/ (“Q Missions.”) This is a pathway for veterans and fellow warfighters to help them replace the battle scars of their minds with the joy of serving others through building churches, homes, feeding children and suppling precious hope to struggling communities worldwide. Sgt. Q has also authored a new book titled, https://amzn.to/3EShdnN (“Healing Thru Service: The Warriors Guide to Overcoming Trauma.”) First, I want to personally thank you and every other service man and woman out there for the sacrifices that you have made on behalf of this nation. I served 12 years in the Army before leaving service in 1989 and entering law enforcement from which I retired in 2011. But I understand, what we call, the “mindset of the warrior” all too well and consider it an honor to have you on the program today. First question, other than that brief information I just shared, tell us in your words, “Who is Sgt. Q – Aaron Quinonez?” Tell us about your preparation for and the transition from combat military life to civilian life and what was provided to you and what was lacking to help you with the transition… And you returned home and entered janitorial services. Did that help or hinder your transition process? Were you married when you were in service? Take us through some of the turmoil PTSD has on a war veteran. I know not everyone suffers the same things or to the same degree. But in general, what are some of the things going on the mind of someone suffering from PTSD? Then came the day you decided to take your life. Can you give us what was going through your mind on that day and what happened to make you change your decision?

B.L.U.E. PRINT to Your Best Retirement Daniel BlueDaniel Blue is a regular contributor to Forbes.com and is the owner of Quest Education, a company that helps entrepreneurs obtain capital for their companies, pay off high interest debt and make money tax free using a self-directed retirement account. Under Daniel's leadership, Quest Education has reached the seven figure mark two years in a row and has customers in all fifty states. He has a podcast called “How Winners Win” and he has released a book titled, “B.L.U.E. Print to Your Best Retirement,” which is also an Amazon Best Seller. First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Daniel Blue?” Your book, “B.L.U.E. Print to Your Best Retirement,” provides information to folks so they can access their retirement accounts without being hit with those huge tax ramifications, but it doesn’t stop there, does it? I remember I had to access my account, this was way back in the day, maybe 25 years ago, and I was hit with, I believe, a 10% penalty on the amount withdrawn. I don’t remember for sure, but I believe that was the amount. But your book helps someone to avoid that tax? Can that money be used for anything? Like paying off high interest rate debts, credit cards, etc? If someone was starting a business, could they use the money in their retirement accounts to provide their portion of a “down payment” of sorts to qualify for business loans, etc? Do all retirement accounts qualify? What about using this money to purchase stocks, bonds or any other type of asset? Even BitCoin? Are we required to pay back the amount into our retirement accounts in order to keep the tax free benefits? So we can use some of the cash now and still have access to the remaining balance in our retirement years? And your book, “B.L.U.E. Print to Your Best Retirement,” goes into detail on how to do all of this. What does the B.L.U.E. stand for? Tell us about your podcast, “How Winners Win.” Do you go into these types of concepts on your podcast? You also have a teaching course on your website, “The Quest Way.” Tell us about that… Daniel, this is an interesting. I love how you are helping people, especially right now in this COVID environment. If someone wanted to get a copy of your book, how can they do that? Is it on Amazon? And if someone wanted to receive more information about your podcast or your courses, ask a question or maybe do an interview such as this. How can they do that? How can they get in touch with you? Folks, in this day and time, it is sometimes left up to us to make decisions and take actions that will protect us and our family’s future. I urge you to get in touch with Daniel Blue, check out his website, podcast and all of that – and be sure to order you copy of his latest book, “B.L.U.E. Print to Your Best Retirement.” Just go down into the show notes and order your copy today. Click the links, check out how Daniel can help you to achieve your retirement goals. You may think you’re too late to the party, but it is never too late to start now. You’ll have more by starting now, than you will be starting later. Folks, that is all the time we have for today. For Daniel Blue and myself, this is Pastor Bob reminding you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!

The Awesome Power of BlessingRichard Brunton pt 2 https://amzn.to/3l1vhDr ()Richard Brunton was a pioneer of the market research industry in New Zealand. He co-founded Colmar Brunton in 1981 and built the business into the country’s best known and most trusted research company. He started a “Better Business, Better World” campaign, which was a personal crusade of sorts, teaching others how to create profit by creating purpose, or making money by making meaning. He believes (with the research to back it up) that organizations that are driven by the big ideal of making their customers’ lives better, will create more shareholder value in the long run, than those who focus on other aims. His articles, speeches and unique perspectives have been published in various magazines and newspapers all over the world. Richard was inducted into the Marketing Hall of Fame in 2005, and became a life member of the Marketing Research Society of New Zealand in 2010. Since retiring as the Executive Chairman of Colmor Brunton in 2014, he has devoted his time to ministry work and writing. He has written a couple of books, one of which is titled, https://amzn.to/3l1vhDr (“The Awesome Power of the Blessing”) which we will be discussing today in the conclusion of our great, two part interview! What is the difference between praying a blessing over someone and interceding for them in prayer? You share we are not to “judge” when praying a blessing over someone. What do you mean by that? One thing you shared in your book is how you bless others that cut you off in traffic. I’ve been doing that for years and thought I was the only one doing it! Praise God! Tell us about the revelation you received about speaking a blessing for your own skin… You also teach us to say a blessing over our own minds. Is that because we are harboring bad thoughts or listening to the devil as he plants these thoughts in our minds? How does that work? How can we bless our communities and nations? I know I pray up the “hedges of protection around the borders of our land, etc.” But how should you go about praying the BLESSING over our land and nations? You close your book out with the idea that we should “Bless God” in our prayers as well. Explain that section for us? This is all so interesting. How can someone order a copy of your book, https://amzn.to/3l1vhDr (“The Awesome Power of the Blessing”)? Is it on Amazon? How can someone get in touch with you, if they have a question or possibly to do an interview such as this? How can they get in touch with you? Will you pray us out with the "Father's Blessing?" Folks, you definitely need to learn all you can about walking in the Blessing! Richard Brunton's book, https://amzn.to/3l1vhDr (“The Awesome Power of the Blessing”) , will do just that!

The Awesome Power of the BlessingRichard Brunton pt 1https://amzn.to/3l1vhDr ()Richard Brunton was a pioneer of the market research industry in New Zealand.

He has written a couple of books, one of which is titled, https://amzn.to/3l1vhDr (“The Awesome Power of the Blessing”) which we will be discussing today. First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Richard Brunton?” You start your book with how inspiring the message of “The Blessing” was received. So, the first question is, why did you put your thoughts and teachings on the Blessing into the book, https://amzn.to/3l1vhDr (“The Awesome Power of the Blessing”) Tell us about what you discovered in the “power of the tongue” as you outline in your book… In your book, you describe how we are called to be a blessing. We are called to be God’s “blesser’s” on this this earth. You recommend we do not just ask someone if we can pray for them. You ask, “Can I bless you?” Explain that for us. I found that one phrase quite moving. In your book, you share that the words we use, especially in speaking to others, should be God’s Words. His words should be our words. But we can only know His Words if we are familiar with His Word – the Bible, correct? Explain how all of this relates to our Spiritual Authority in and through Christ Jesus… And this can be applied to physical objects like chairs and desks as you pray for workers who are facing certain things as well, correct? Can you share a couple of examples like that? So, we are to bless others by declaring God’s Will, which is His Word, over a person and their life. We do this simply declaring God’s intentions over this other person? In the Bible, Jacob deceived Isaac to receive the Blessings. His brother was distraught because the blessing was supposed to be his. In this day and time, it is rare that a father will bless his children. Share the importance of this as you outlined in your book and how we can break the curse of NOT being blessed from off our life and family… Folks, you definitely need to add https://amzn.to/3l1vhDr (“The Awesome Power of the Blessing”) to your reading list!

The Journey – David FiensyThere is no doubt that the best way to learn about Christ and what it means to live a Christian life, is to learn from the Bible. But, for the majority of us, we do not have the time nor that expertise to do Biblical research on a level that allows us to truly do a “deep dive” on Biblical studies. Life just seems to get in the way. So, what should we do? Well, how about reading books written by those who have the understanding, those that have been driven to do the research and provides the information we seek explained in ways that we CAN understand? That makes a lot of sense, right? Well, that’s the way it’s supposed to be. Praise God! My guest today is just such a person. David Fiensy has been on our program before a few years back. But he has written a new book, titled, https://amzn.to/3lOyQfC (“The Journey: Spiritual Growth in Galatians and Philippians.”) I know you will get a lot out of this interview, so put on your seat belts and hold on! Welcome back to the program, David Fiensy! David, thank you for coming back on the program to discuss your new book! Praise God! For those that may have missed your last visit with us, other than that brief information I just shared, tell us in your own words, “Who is David Fiensy?” Your book, https://amzn.to/3lOyQfC (“The Journey: Spiritual Growth in Galatians and Philippians,”) is about Spiritual growth by studying just two of Paul’s letters. Why Galatians and Philippians? This is not just a verse by verse outline. You dive into the deeper things of Spirituality, correct? You say life is not about “walking the line,” so to speak, but about “hitting the road.” What do you mean by that? Through your studies in writing this book, in your opinion, how did Paul’s life, all the up’s down’s and side-ways events that happened to him, influence his walk with God? One famous verse, if I could call it that, is from Galatians that say, “I’ve been crucified with Christ.” But we know he was not physically crucified. What was Pauling saying and trying to get us to understand with that statement? We know Paul suffered many, many things. Too many to even try to comprehend it in our modern lifestyle and culture. How did going through all of this bring meaning to his Faith? Why did you write this book at this time? What led you to believe this day and time in which we live right now is when this book needs to be shared? How can your readers apply what they are reading and learning to their everyday life? David, this is all so fascinating. How can someone get a copy of your book, https://amzn.to/3lOyQfC (“The Journey: Spiritual Growth in Galatians and Philippians?”) Is it on Amazon? And if someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or maybe to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you? Folks, in this day and hour in which we live, you need to understand the deep, Biblical meanings of some of the things we experience on a daily basis. Sometimes, it seems like we are facing an uphill battle each and every step. But if you will take what David Fiensy has put together in this great book, https://amzn.to/3lOyQfC (“The Journey: Spiritual Growth in Galatians and Philippians,”) will find meaning behind it all. This book will give you the Wisdom and Encouragement to “keep on keeping on.” Amen! Go down into the show notes and click the link right there to order you copy today. In fact, you do realize, that at the time of this broadcast, Christmas is just around the corner, right? I’d recommend you order two or three copies and give them away as gifts! Glory to God!

David, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come bank and join us today. I do appreciate it. Folks, that is all...
Living Hope – Gerard Long pt 1Life is full of unexpected things. Some good. Many bad. But through it all – God is still God! Amen! Sometimes we, as humans, have a hard time remembering that. It seems like we want to take responsibility in some things and leave God out of the equation. It seems we know what is best for our life, family and business or ministry – and we TELL God what it is that needs to happen. What happens though, when the bottom falls out. Not just in business, but in life. When such tragedy happens that it makes you reexamine your Faith walk. It is often in times like this, when you are not just at the “bottom of the barrel” but “under the barrel looking up.” It is at times like that, when God can finally get it through our head and down into our heart, that HE IS STILL GOD. My guest today has had numerous events in his life that has shaped his life, business and ministry. He has written a short book that explains the “seasons of life” that he has experienced. Gerard Long calls himself a “professor of life and death.” He is an author, a business leader, pastor, founder of “Awakening to God Ministries” and the former director of Alpha USA. He is now experiencing a blessed life, but it hasn’t always been that way. The darkest valley of suffering he experienced happened all in a period of eight years. His youngest son committed suicide; this almost caused the break-up of his marriage; then the unbelievable death of his beautiful daughter. As if this wasn’t enough pain, in the same eight-year period, his sister and brother also died, as did a nephew! As he was trying to rise from the ashes of those horrible things, he faced financial ruin at the hand of a “friend.” Then, he suffered a heart attack and was dead for almost 30 minutes! By a miraculous move of God, he was brought back to life and then faced an exorbitant amount of medical bills, only to face additional bills when his wife was diagnosed with bladder cancer! Gerard has documented much of his journey from this deep despair to triumph in Christ, in his book, titled, https://amzn.to/3z6FoL8 (“Living Hope: Awakening to Faith, Peace and Purpose in Tough Times.”) The first question I always ask is this… Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Gerard Long?” Gerard, I want our audience to get an understanding of the kind of pressure you were under. Prior to your heart attack, the pressures of losing both, your son and you daughter, to me that seems almost unbearable. Can you talk a little bit about this time in your life, as I believe, from what I’ve read, this was the mounting pressure that may have triggered your cardiac arrest. Can you go over that time for us, briefly? In your book, you describe the night your wife experienced the presence of the Lord. I can relate to that 100%. I had made the decision to take my life and the Lord’s presence just absolutely enveloped me in the room I was in. I was there, singing, laughing and all of that. What she described as the sparkling, etc. – yeah…when I read that, I was like “AMEN!” CONTACT INFORMATIONhttps://amzn.to/3z6FoL8 () Email: long@awakeningtogod.org Website: http://www.livinghopebook.com/ (http://www.livinghopebook.com/) Book: https://amzn.to/3z6FoL8 (“Living Hope: Awakening to Faith, Peace, and Purpose in Tough Times”) – on Amazon
Positively JoyYvette WalkerFor many Christians, witnessing the events that have transpired in the last 18 months or so have many wondering “Where is God in all of this?” But, if you are honest with yourself, God is apparent through all of it. The COVID shutdowns, the economic problems, the issues overseas, everything! God is right there! Now, I’m not saying He is causing all of these issues, but if you are honest with yourself, you KNOW God is with you, otherwise, you would not have survived to this point! Amen! But too many Christians are “sleep-walking” through life. They are just existing, day to day. They have no joy. Almost no hope. Why is that? Well, my guest today is going to tell you about how you can experience, “Positively Joy.” Yvette Walker is a Christian journalist, educator and podcaster (Praise God)! She found herself, as she says, “sleep-walking through life.” After hearing the call of God, she started a podcast called, “Positively Joy” as a ministry effort to discuss the struggles people face to walk in joy! On the podcast, on her blog and in her Facebook community, the Bible is studied and discussed and she helps people to find joy in the details of life. Her ministry serves Christian women through weekly, award winning podcast episodes; through uplifting weekly blog posts and through inspiring social media posts. Help me welcome to the program, Yvette Walker! Yvette, thank you for joining us today! First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Yvette Walker?” Can you explain what it is you mean by “sleep-walking” in your faith? You state that “joy is not a feeling – it’s faith.” Share with us how you came to understand that concept? How can joy bring us into a deeper relationship with God? Shouldn’t we have that relationship AND THEN experience joy? You have interviewed a lot of Christians on your podcast. Do you also do teachings or interviews only? You say you help people to find God in the commonplaces of life. Can you explain that for us? You have a booklet that explains the “5 Ways to Choose Joy.” Can you briefly share those 5 ways for us? You attended the National Religious Broadcasters Conference in Texas a few months back. You met someone special there that most Christians know through a special television series. Would you share that with us? You have also won an award from the “Spark Christian Conference.” Tell us about that? Yvette, you are doing an awesome work for the Lord. Through your podcast, blog and social media, you really do not know how many people you are actually impacting with the Gospel. And you probably will never know until you get to Heaven. I want to encourage you to keep up the great work you are doing! If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question, to be a guest on your podcast or may have you as a guest on their podcast, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you? And you have that free download that we discussed, the booklet “5 Ways to Choose Joy.” How can someone get a copy of that? Folks, it is such joy for me to be able to interview great Christians who understand the power of the podcast concept, and Yvette Walker is one that you need to follow. Use the links down below to get in touch with her, subscribe to her podcast and be sure to download that free booklet “5 Ways to Choose Joy.” I guarantee, you will be impressed by the quality of the podcast and the quality of the guests and the quality of the content. Amen!

The Hunt for Good NeighborJason Leehttps://amzn.to/3n7CzXM ()https://amzn.to/3yzO7Fu (“The Hunt for Good Neighbor,”) which was inspired by novels by C.S. Lewis. Jason uses allegories to tell the story of spiritual journeys to encourage the readers to persevere through adversity. The https://amzn.to/3yzO7Fu (“Hunt for Good Neighbor”) follows Annette, a young girl born into a mob family. On her 18th birthday, she must complete a rite of passage to enter into their ranks. She must reach deep and grapple with her own identity, failures and, inevitably who she wants to become. Annette must decide between her past and her future, all the while facing the challenges of living off the land and the exploration of the wild country. https://amzn.to/3yzO7Fu (“Hunt for Good Neighbor”) is a timeless novel that speaks to young adults setting out on their own life journeys for the first time and anyone who connects with elements of faith and struggle. I don’t know about you, but I’m hooked already! Amen! Jason is an accountant by day, but a writer by choice! He is also into mountain climbing, rock climbing and – of course – writing! Amen! First question I always ask is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Jason Lee?” How did you get started in writing Christian fiction? And why did you choose this story line, one of a mobster’s daughter coming of age, for this book at this time? You dive into three major elements in this book. Would share those three elements with us? How do these three things affect our Faith? So, tell us a little of the plot line. I always thought that mobster’s daughters had to make a choice to go into the business or not. How did “Annette” decide, or end up, having to join the family business? What kind of situations does she face during the test? What does she discover about herself in the process? How can that apply to the readers or our listeners? Do we have our own “testing” that occurs as we discover God’s purpose for our own lives? What common temptations does the average person face as compared to those faced by Annette in your book? Do you have any other books in the process of being written? Jason, this sounds like a fascinating read. I believe our listeners will really enjoy this book. How can they obtain a copy? Is it on Amazon? If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or maybe do an interview such as this. How can they do that? How can they get in touch with you? Folks, everyone likes a good read. Just to break free from reality and life happening around us. Television is the thing most people use to take a mental break. But you have to actually become numb to what you see happening on TV. Then, there are the thought interrupters called “commercials” that happen. These things do not happen in a book. As most of you know, I’m an avid reader. I read anywhere between 18-24 books per year. And Jason Lee’s book is one that I highly recommend. You need to get a copy for yourself, right now – today! Amen! In fact, whether you want to think about this or not – Christmas is coming soon! I would recommend you purchase three or four copies of this book and give someone you love a great Christmas present this year! Something that will be different from the sweaters and gift cards that seem to be the thing nowadays. A book is something they will treasure. Especially a great book like https://amzn.to/3yzO7Fu (“Hunt for Good Neighbor”) by Jason Lee. Go down into the show notes and order your copy – COPIES – today! Amen! And while you are in the show notes, reach out to Jason. Ask your questions. Send him some feedback on the book, too! Amen!

Feeling Loved Marnie Swedberg pt 1Do you feel loved by God every moment of every day? Do you feel like God hears your prayers, cares about your concerns and comes to your rescue? Well, my guest today is going to explain how all of that – and more – is possible with the limited time that you do have in the hectic schedules that this day and time we call “life.” Marnie Swedberg is the author of 13 books, a leadership mentor to over 15,000 leaders from 35 countries, providing a “God centric focus” with practical help and coaching.

Today, I will be discussing her book, https://amzn.to/3m5K6pw (“Feeling Loved: Connecting with God in the Minutes You Have.”) First question, other than that brief information I just shared, tell us in your own words, “Who is Marnie Swedberg?” How did you get started in the coaching and consulting business? Were you an author that transitioned into consulting, or a consultant that became an author to help in your business? You’ve written 13 books, which I find astounding. And today, we want to talk about your book, https://amzn.to/3m5K6pw (“Feeling Loved: Connecting with God in the Minutes You Have.”) We all have hectic schedules. I know that putting God first place is absolutely essential. I’ve become accustomed to waking between 430am and 5am to spend that quality alone time in the Word and in prayer before anyone else wakes up. I call it my “appointment time” with the Lord. In your book, you share how to have a meaningful relationship with God in the minutes we have. Can you explain that concept a little bit for us? Ten Ways to Pray Everyday – All Day! 5 Keys to friendship with God. What are those five keys? I love the chapter, “How to be humble and not brag about it.” A lot of people should take that to heart! Explain that for us. Folks, not only do you need to order a copy of Marnie’s book, https://amzn.to/3m5K6pw (“Feeling Loved: Connecting with God in the Minutes You Have.”) – but you also need to go to her website and check out all of the outstanding services and resources she has there.

Dreams and Visions in the Last Days Tom Donnan pt 2Is the United States at the precipice of destruction? Some say “God would never let that happen. The United States is a nation formed by people that loved God and has God’s blessings.” My response is: “So did Israel. Yet, He let them get overrun and dispersed across the globe.” Our friend, Tom Donnan, is back today. Tom always brings timely perspective to current events we see in the news. This is conclusion of a great three part interview with Tom. If you missed the prior two episodes, go back and catch up! There was a lot of great information Tom shared that I don't have the time to replay today. Amen! 2018 – “hearing visions.” Sounds nobody else can hear. July 2018 – the loudest sound to date. A violent explosion high in the sky coming from the SE moving NW – then returns again from the NW. Could this be a nuclear explosion, with the outflow followed immediately by the return of rushing air back to the origin? October 2020 – a dream where “time has run out.” Heavy burdens that actually cause physical pain… Is God using burdens to push His people towards Him? What is the ONLY thing that can stop these types of calamities from happening? National Repentance and Personal Repentance! Folks, everything we’ve been sharing, not just today, but for the last couple of years, IS COMING TO PASS right before our eyes. This just confirms that the soon return of Jesus is closer than ever. I have talked to some people who do not believe the next election will even take place in this country. Will all of this happen BEFORE Jesus comes back? Or is His return even closer than the next election? WE don’t know. But if you are not prepared for it – you will miss out on it. And then the real problems begin. Folks, reach out to Tom Donann or you can email me at brotherbob@ftfm.org and let us know that you prayed that prayer of salvation. We want to rejoice with you. Amen!

Dreams and Visions in the Last Days Tom Donnan pt 2Is the United States at the precipice of destruction? We’ve all heard the stories about the Roman Empire. How they rose to greatness and then fell, over time, until they were no more. We’ve heard the comparisons that the United States has been following the same patterns and how some say “history is repeating itself.” Is all of that true? Our friend, Tom Donnan, is back today.

Things we talked about a year and a half or two years ago – have either happened or are in the process of happening. Could it be the things we talked about recently and will talk about today will come to pass in the near future? January 2011 – a dream where Tom is standing guard on the Southern Border and sees “Coyotes” running across the border in an invasion. Are we seeing this happening right before our eyes right now?

If you go back and listen, say the past year or so, to our episodes where Tom has been on the program, you will be amazed at what you hear. The progression of events is getting darker and darker. Things we talked about a year and a half or two years ago – have either happened or are in the process of happening. Could it be the things we talked about recently and will talk about today will come to pass in the near future? We’ve been talking about the “Convergence Factor” for several months now. Things are happening faster and at the same time as other things. Could this be the end of the United States as we have known it? For some perspective on this, let’s welcome back to the program, Tom Donnan! Tom, thank you for coming back on today! Let’s start with September 11th, 2001. I remember exactly where I was at when events began to unfold. I was just on the outskirts of DC, traveling southbound on I-295, when the plane hit the Pentagon. Actually, it probably about 5 minutes or so after because the smoke was billowing up. How about you? Where were you at? This caused one of the biggest bailouts at the time, only dwarfed by the financial collapse of 2008. And then we add in the COVID relief packages that dwarfed even that. This nation is just spending money left and right – I should say, printing money left and right. It would be like us needing to make our house payment and go downstairs to the copier and just print several sheets of $100 bills and using that to pay our creditors. That’s really all these bailouts are. There is NOTHING backing these transactions up. Let's talk about some of the dreams you’ve had over the last several years that are not starting to, shall we say, taking the “form” of coming to pass? February 2010 – while speaking with a pastor in his office, a book flies off the shelf on its own and lands near Tom’s feet. The book: A Summary of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States, by Dr. D.J. Kennedy. The dream of being a servant in an “elitist” house, planning your escape. The dream of Russia invading from the Gulf of Mexico and Chinese invading from the west coast. Fleeing hostile parts of the US for the “free territory” and escaping from a military camp. Understanding that when the “Constitution falls” – all of these things begin to come to pass… Have we seen the beginning of the end of the Constitution? January 2011 – a dream where Tom is standing guard on the Southern Border and sees “Coyotes” running across the border in an invasion. Are we seeing this happening right before our eyes right now? Folks, everything we’ve been sharing, not just today, but for the last couple of years, IS COMING TO PASS right before our eyes. This just confirms that the soon return of Jesus is closer than ever.

Island Girl: A Triumph of the SpiritNorma Joyce Dougherty pt 2Many people dream of fame and fortune. I raised two daughters and they went through the phases where they wanted to be a fairy tale princess. They even participated in some youth beauty pageants, etc. Always with the dream of walking across the stage as Miss America, or whatever. But happens when you actually win? My guest today lived the “rags to riches” story of those dreams. Norma Joyce Dougherty was raised in, what was then, rural Prince Edward Island in the extreme eastern part of Canada, as a poor farm girl relegated to daily chores on the farm. Then, suddenly she was thrust into the lime light of national and international fame as Miss Dominion of Canada and a contestant in Miss World and Miss Universe, Queen of the Pacific and as a semi-finalist in the Miss International beauty pageants. Her life story was even made into a screenplay! Having faced abuse and heartache as a young child, she then faced an identity crisis because of her new found fame. She is a speaker and mentor and also the author of the book, https://amzn.to/3sJkzDJ (“Island Girl: A Triumph of the Spirit,”) which we will be discussing today.
ProSCALE Legal Jay Razzouk pt 1Over the course of these last three of four years, you’ve heard me interview numerous Christian influencers, authors, musicians, business owners, CEO’s, in addition to pastors and ministry leaders. You’ve heard personal stories of how, especially during this last year or so because of COVID, many have decided to enter into the entrepreneur experience of starting their own business or trying to scale an existing business by going online and reaching more people. Although these are noteworthy achievements and goals, as you grow, there is also increased exposure. Not just your marketing exposure, but legally as well. Especially if you achieve your dream or goal of truly becoming successful and suddenly find yourself replacing your “normal job” with your new, online career. To help protect you, your family and your business, you definitely need to seek out qualified legal advice. An attorney who can guide you and offer advice and services that will ensure you are protected should something happen that, well, let’s just say exposes you to some type of legal risk. The peace of mind knowing you have put these protections in place may not seem important now, as you are in the process of scaling your business, but they are easier to implement in the beginning than trying to play catch up later. My guest today specializes in this area of legal practice. Jay Razzouk is a California business attorney with over 10 years experience, litigating across 20 states, involving legal compliance at Fortune 500 companies. He is also an adjunct professor at La Sierra University and is also the founder of “ProSCALE Legal Coaching” and the “SecureSCALE method.” Jay is helping small business owners employ legal strategies to protect their businesses as they scale up to and beyond 7 & 8 figures. Praise God! First question that I always ask is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Jay Razzouk?” I understand how you would make the decision to become a lawyer. But what made you decide to specialize in business law? Many people enter into business ventures as a calling. They have an anointing or special skill set that is in demand and they are able to help others. Have you had anyone come to you who entered into their own business only because they thought it would be an easy way to make money, rather than as a way to bless others? You have a unique perspective on helping people by focusing on the love of God in their business. How does that work? To help others, especially in your God gifted talents and abilities, is a way to love on others. Sharing and helping them with your talents to achieve something they desire. It could be as a plumber fixing a broken pipe or a concrete worker installing a patio or any such thing. But it is a calling to help others. What does it look like to apply Biblical ideas of love in the modern business context? So, it is possible to share the Love of God and be a witness through the business? Even though they are doing these things to make an income from those they are helping? You say that Love is the “ultimate legal strategy.” What do you mean by that? Folks, in this day and time where legal litigation is the norm and not the exception, you need to make sure your business has checked all of the requirements to protect yourself, you business and even you clients or customers. I urge you to get in touch with Jay Razzouk today, or at least qualified legal counsel in your locality to give you the advice you need.

America – This is Communism! Christine Smith pt 2This nation was founded upon the Judeo-Christian values as outlined in the Bible. Many of our Founding Fathers and almost every political figure and leader up until the mid-20th Century also said, believed and upheld those same beliefs. But then, beginning in the 1960’s, despite the Cold War and obvious attacks on our freedom as guaranteed in the Constitution, some intellectual types decided to pursue and accept the ideals of communism as being the “perfect solution” for the problems facing this nation. Now, anyone with any sensibilities at all, can see how destructive this has been over the last 70 years. The United States of America is a shell of the “Land of the Free” and we have become a nation that is now, in all concepts, a nation driven by socialist ideology. My guest today has been on our program several times in the past. She has recently published a https://godchangeseverything.com/ (booklet) that explains this entire mess that we witnessing being played out nightly on the news and in major metropolitan cities from one end of this nation to the other and, unfortunately now, around the world for all other political allies to witness as well. Christine Smith is here to discuss her booklet, titled, https://godchangeseverything.com/ (“America, This is Communism,” )which examines why so many Americans are accepting the communist agenda and what Christians can and should do in this spiritual battle for our nation. Christine has over 25 years of experience as a writer and author; she literally has hundreds of newspaper and magazine articles published; she has interviewed hundreds of entrepreneurs world-wide; as a political commentator, she has been invited to speak at political events and on numerous radio shows heard nationwide and in the United Kingdom. She believes that politics and personal spirituality are inseparable. You mention how the Biden Administration kowtows to China while opposing those in Cuba seeking freedom. In fact, we do not even hear about Cuba anymore in the media. It’s almost as if they were told to stop publishing stories on it. That’s what happens when they control the press – you only hear about what THEY decide to tell you. You detail in yourhttps://godchangeseverything.com/ ( booklet )that all of the turmoil we see right now is planned. From the border crisis to the riots, the attacks on law enforcement to the economic situation, everything has been planned. Is this all the plan of the “cultural revolution?” Tell us about the “Frankfurt School” you mentioned… You explain in yourhttps://godchangeseverything.com/ ( booklet) how many churches have adopted Marxist ideology themselves! Taking parts of the Bible they like while ignoring the bulk of Scripture and intertwined secularism into Christian doctrine to the point that it has been distorted. I’ve interviewed several African-American conservatives over the last few years that lay the blame for the majority of the problems facing the inner cities right now, squarely at the feet of inner city church leadership. Some have explained how the political parties have used, and you’ll recognize this phrase, “community organizers” – does that phrase ring a bell? Are we in our period of “The Dark Ages” since most Christians do not even take their Bible’s to church anymore? They rely on others to tell them what the Bible says! I know I’ve experienced some unpleasantness in response to some things I’ve stated before or preached on, and I know you have as well. I believe the question is, has the spiritual condition of America weakened to such a point that the Christian influence cannot make any impact? Are we already slid so far down the slippery path to hell and destruction that we cannot climb back up? We need Christians, not in name only, but those who walk the walk and talk the talk, to run for political office at all levels of government. How can we...

But then, beginning in the 1960’s, despite the Cold War and obvious attacks on our freedom as guaranteed in the Constitution, some intellectual types decided to pursue and accept the ideals of communism as being the “perfect solution” for the problems facing this nation. Initially, they were regarded as fringe lunatics. But their ideology slowly took over the institutions of higher learning. This allowed them to begin to influence the younger generation so, as they entered the political arena, their influence would grow. Now, anyone with any sensibilities at all, can see how destructive this has been over the last 70 years. The United States of America is a shell of the “Land of the Free” and we have become a nation that is now, in all concepts, a nation driven by socialist ideology. There are a few holdouts in government. But those numbers are dwindling. It is up to us to spread the word. To discuss the truth, as related from the Bible and our founding documents. It is up to us to try and preserve this Republic in the true fashion that made it great. Our dependence of God and the value of our founding documents is the only standing between us and ruin. My guest today has been on our program several times in the past. She has recently published a https://godchangeseverything.com (booklet) that explains this entire mess that we witnessing being played out nightly on the news and in major metropolitan cities from one end of this nation to the other and, unfortunately now, around the world for all other political allies to witness as well.

She believes that politics and personal spirituality are inseparable. Help me welcome back to the program, our good friend, Christine Smith! Christine, thank you for coming back on the program to discuss your new https://godchangeseverything.com (booklet!) Now, I know the answer to this question because I know you and how you view America and our Christian heritage. But for those that may not have listened to our previous discussions, explain to us WHY you wrote this https://godchangeseverything.com (booklet) and why it is so important for us today… In your https://godchangeseverything.com (booklet), you state that “America is in the first stage of communism.” What do you mean by that? The vast majority of political commentators do not want to “offend” anyone. Everything is boiled down to be “politically correct” in the media. This has been going on for so long, it is ingrained in almost every single media outlet. How can we effect change at this point in time? Unfortunately, to implement all these promised giveaways, new bureaucratic departments were formed, with the promise of creating “new jobs, etc.” Now, if we try to dissolve these departments, the cry will be “You’re trying to put thousands of government employees and contractors out of work!” How can any politician today fight against that type of sentiment? The Democrats call every policy they want to keep or implement as a “right,” including the right to kill unborn babies; the right to be paid for not working; the...
The Peacemaker’s Path Jerry Zehr pt 2We see division all around us today. We are divided politically, socially, racially, economically. We are divided religiously as well. Even Christians are divided amongst ourselves in various denominations. And even denominations are divided. You have, for example, the Baptists, the Southern Baptists, Reformed Baptists, Independent Baptists – I could go on and on. The point being, with all of this division going on, is there any wonder we are seeing the turmoil in our society? We need to come together around commonality. We need to come together in unity. In order to do that, we must begin to TALK with each other, commune with each other and try to understand each other on a deeper level than just what divides us. My guest today has been on the front lines of doing just that. Jerry Zehr has served as a pastor and leader in interfaith ministries for over 30 years and has helped in creating four interfaith organizations. He is the author of the book, https://amzn.to/3gfLW3g (“The Peacemakers Path: Multi-Faith Reflections to Deepen Your Spirituality”) Why do you believe there is such division and polarization between different religions today? You also wrote a book titled, https://amzn.to/2Ur8giK (“Blurring the Lines”) that shares about your time working in the entertainment industry. How did that book and what you shared in https://amzn.to/2Ur8giK (“Blurring the Lines,”) shape what you are doing today and develop the content of your book, https://amzn.to/3gfLW3g (“The Peacemaker’s Path?”) How did you begin the process of building the bridge amongst the other Faith leaders of various Faiths? Have you experienced any criticism from other pastors and ministers, Christian or otherwise, for the work you are doing in trying to bring together mutual understanding through your inter-faith work? Why do you think some people claim to be “spiritual” but not “religious?” Jerry this is all so interesting. I know God wants us to get along with all people. I believe He is blessing the work you are doing to accomplish that. I mentioned in the opening that you appeared on the “Johnny Carson Show.” How did that happen? How can someone obtain a copy of your book, https://amzn.to/3gfLW3g (“The Peacemakers Path: Multi-Faith Reflections to Deepen Your Spirituality?”) Is it available on Amazon? What about your book, https://amzn.to/2Ur8giK (“Blurring the Lines?”) If someone has a question or wants more information, or possibly wants to do an interview such as this? How can they do that? How can they get in touch with you? Folks, there is no doubt that the devil is doing his best to destroy our society today. And one of the main tactics he employs is division. You can see it every single night on the news. Jerry Zehr is doing his best to bridge those walls of division, mistrust, etc. in bringing together people of different backgrounds, different beliefs and different faiths. He is not doing this to magnify the differences, but to accentuate the commonalities, traits where we are alike. Amen! That is what this is all about, especially in this day and time in which we live. We need more of this and we need more organizations to embrace the work Jerry and others like him are doing. I highly encourage you to go down into the show notes below, click the links and get in touch with Jerry Zeher. Ask your questions – but more importantly, order your books! I believe this is one book you definitely need to add to your reading collection. In fact, order TWO BOOKS! One for you to read and one to pass out to someone you know whom you believe would be blessed by it. That’s right, order two or more copies and be a sower. Be a blessing to someone else today! Amen!

My guest today has been on the front lines of doing just that. Jerry Zehr is an ordained minister with a Masters of Divinity from Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis, Indiana. He’s been in the ministry for over 30 years, but his background has not always been one of Faith. His grandparents were Amish and he grew up in a Mennonite home. He tried his hand at acting and was part of a traveling dinner theater circuit as a singer and actor. In fact, he appeared on the Johnny Carson show one time as well. Jerry has served as a pastor and leader in interfaith ministries, helping to create four interfaith organizations such as the Carmel Interfaith Alliance and the Indiana Multi-faith Network. He is an author of several books, his most recent is titled, https://amzn.to/3gfLW3g (“The Peacemakers Path: Multi-Faith Reflections to Deepen Your Spirituality.”) Why did you believe now was the time to write this book, https://amzn.to/3gfLW3g (“The Peacemaker’s Path?”) What does https://amzn.to/3gfLW3g (“The Peacemaker’s Path”) try to accomplish?

Lincoln Ledger Ryan SchablowskyHow many times have we talked about the lack of Christian values, etc. in government today? How many times have you heard me say that “We the People” need to be inserting Christian values and discussion in the politics governing this nation. Not just in Washington, DC but down through the states and the local municipalities as well. In addition, businesses that are trying to survive and thrive in the current social and political climate face conundrum concerning how much they feel they can live and work by their Christian values. Well, my guest today has created a company called “Lincoln Ledger, LLC.” Lincoln Ledger that focuses on these different areas. “Lincoln Ledger” is mainly a journalism company that promotes the advancement of Judeo-Christian values and principles – usually not heard in traditional church services. Lincoln Ledger, LLC has various divisions that handle various journalistic responsibilities, which we will get into. Help me welcome to the program, the founder and CEO of Lincoln Ledger, LLC, Ryan Schablowsky. Ryan, thank you for taking the time to join us today!

THE INHERITANCE Tom Donnan pt 2Did you know that you currently have an inheritance. Amen! YES YOU DO! And this inheritance is worth more money, more stuff, more than you could ever imagine. In fact, this inheritance that you may not even know about can change your life, forever! No, I’m not talking about a rich uncle that left you his multi-million dollar estate. I’m not talking about a dying prince in Africa whose lawyer is trying to share the wealth with you if you help him transfer this money from a collapsing economy to the United States… I’m talking about a Heavenly Kingdom of which YOU can be a part of! And to share more on this exciting inheritance, is our good friend Tom Donnan. You mentioned that you tried to become a pastor four times, but realized it was not your calling. I can relate to that as well… I totally agree. I know there are many pastors serving in ministry leadership positions in churches all over America that are not supposed to be there. Do you find that to be the case in the churches and pastors you visit? A lot of people that are called into ministry are under the assumption they need to be in the five-fold ministry – but that is not the case at all. So, what is the “Pastor’s Inheritance?” You mention the number 376. What is the number for and what does it represent? And you wrote a book about all of this as well, called “https://amzn.to/2ZKGzkn (Healing the Nation).” How can someone get a copy of your book, “https://amzn.to/2ZKGzkn (Healing the Nation)?” Tom, as usual, this has been truly fascinating. How can someone get in touch with if they have any questions or want to receive a copy of this book? And if someone listening to us today wants in on this inheritance we have been talking about, if they want to receive Jesus as their Savior – can you lead them to the Throne Room to receive it? Folks, this inheritance is the ONLY inheritance that matters. I would venture to say there are many, many millionaires in hell right now that would be willing to give it ALL up, for one chance to pray that prayer you just prayed with Tom Donnan. Reach out to Tom and let him know you prayed with him. Amen! Use the contact information down below.

INHERITANCE Tom Donnan pt 1Did you know that you currently have an inheritance. Amen! YES YOU DO! And this inheritance is worth more money, more stuff, more than you could ever imagine.

And to share more on this exciting inheritance, is our good friend Tom Donnan. Now, far warning, every time Tom Donnan comes on the program, we have an outline of what we will discuss – but the Holy Spirit sometimes leads us down some rabbit trails that are unplanned and, well, let’s just say “adventurous.” So fasten your seat belts because we are about to take off! Amen! Help me welcome back to the program, our good friend, Tom Donnan! Tom, it is so good to talk to you again – especially about this exciting topic! Now, you’ve described yourself before as an “experiential Christian.” What is that and how does it apply to you? I understand all of that, but how does it relate to our topic today, “God’s Inheritance?” So, basically, if I understand you correctly, God is just writing off this God forsaken land east of the Mississippi River called the East Coast and west of the Rockies called the West Coast? I don’t blame Him…but I’m only kidding. This is YOUR assignment, correct? Why did God use the example of your daughters? Why two daughters? So, how did this affect you and what you were called to do? So, the inheritance, if I’m understanding this correctly, is two-fold? How does this relate to pastors, though? So the Levites are the pastors? Or believers? Folks, this inheritance is the ONLY inheritance that matters. I would venture to say there are many, many millionaires in hell right now that would be willing to give it ALL up, for one chance to pray and accept Jesus as their Lord...

Spiraling Out of Control Tom Donnan pt 2We’ve had a lot going on recently that, for lack of a better terminology, points to the soon coming epoc conclusion of humanity and life as it has been known on this planet. Does that sound like far-fetched idea? Does it sound like I’m trying to be a doomsayer? Listen to the topics that my guest, Tom Donnan, and I will be discussing today. Listen to the topics, the climatic devastation taking place, on earth as it is in Heaven, with signs in the sky and in the Heavens – just as the Bible says it will be in the last days moments before the soon return of Jesus. Listen with an open mind and, even more importantly, an open Bible. Read the Word of God for yourself and see if what we will be discussing today does not appear to be pointing the soon return of Jesus. The government, we found out, keeps track of every text message and email message and phone call we make. This was enacted because of the 911 attacks. But the courts ruled they COULD continue to flag suspicious activity, but could not store all of the data beyond something like 90 days or something. I’m not positive on that part. But still, “Big Brother” is watching us and intruding in our lives in ways we are not even aware of! Have you seen where your TV or microwave could be spying on you? What is this I heard about a “mesh network?” What is that all about? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tIK3Fk-bLA (Hidden Radios in Home Devices (IOT)! The next Cyberthreat - YouTube) That is just too much. The government is definitely out of control. But it’s not just the politicians. Science has expanded into areas that they have no business in either. And the attitude of the public is “As long as I get mine (whatever that may be), I don’t care…” I know the Bible says that “in the last days, it shall be like the days of Noah.” But there are things happening, as we’ve been discussing, that says “those days are here.” Even down to modifying DNA to create a sort of “hybrid human.” Have you seen that information? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hIYIYWBK70 (Billy Crone - The End of Humanity - YouTube) Tom, once again, we’ve run out of time. We always could go on and on. Folks, there is absolutely no doubt we are living in the times that the Bible says indicate the soon return of Jesus. I truly believe it will happen in my lifetime. And I’m getting up there…praise God. If someone wanted to get in touch with you, how can they do that?

Now, far warning, every time Tom Donnan comes on the program, we have an outline of what we will discuss – but the Holy Spirit sometimes leads us down some rabbit trails that are unplanned and, well, let’s just say “adventurous.” Amen! Some towns in California have wells, not just individual farms and homes, but entire cities – their water supplies have dried up! Wells in California are drying up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcoPFj6cPvk (Drought Emergency: Wells Run Dry For Some In Central Valley - YouTube) Power lines in the Bootleg fire in Oregon are being affected power transmission is being affected https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iQy__AKFfM (How the Bootleg Fire affects California's power supply - YouTube) There are so many fires in so many places, the air support tankers are running low on fuel and may not be able to assist the fire fighters!

Can we book another time to have you come back on we can continue our discussion of how there is an “Increased Intensity” occurring in these days and times in which we live? Folks, there is no doubt that we are living in what the Bible calls “the last days.” There is so much going on all over the planet. From COVID to climate; from political ploys that fly in the face of the Bible to complete and utter devastation in cities and around the world. Here in the United States and in other nations as well. Couple that with what scientists are forecasting for near miss asteroids that may not be a near miss to close flyby’s predicted for planet sized comets… these are all “signs of the times.” And there is ONLY one road map that guarantees survival. And His name is Jesus. It does not matter what else anyone has to say – Jesus has already guaranteed survival. Not of this planet. Not of unbelievers. Only those who put their total trust and confidence in Him. Tom, thank you for that and thank you for coming back on the program today. I am looking forward to continuing our discussion as we have not even touched on the latest about COVID, or the money, inflation and credit issues about to plague this nation and the world. I can’t wait to continue our conversation. CONTACT INFORMATION:For Tom Donnan Facebook: https://facebook.com/healthenationministries...
The Wrestling Room Russell De VosIn society today, we often find ourselves being pulled in so many different directions, we don’t really know which way is the right way. We tend to put our attention on the things screaming at us the loudest. Using the old adage of “the squeaky wheel gets the oil.” Most men want to make a difference with their lives...they want to make an impact...leave a legacy...contribute to making the world better. But...men are failing...in their inner lives...jumping right past their spiritual, personal, marital and familial relationships directly to their work lives...mainly because their work is where they have their identity, the one area where they get the most affirmation for their contributions. If that sounds like you… if you keep telling yourself that you need to prioritize better. If you know, deep down on the inside, that you are letting your relationship with God slip… If you are feeling sense of guilt or regret because you are so busy and tired all of the time and the most precious things in life, your family and your relationship with God, is being put on the back burner… if any of this sounds even remotely familiar…then you will want to pay attention today! My guest today has experienced the highs and the lows of success. To coin the old phrase from “Wide World of Sports” (which many younger people have never heard of) which says the “Thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.” My guest today has taken that ride. Russell De Vos was a pastor of a great and thriving church in Bend. Oregon. Starting with just a handful of people, it quickly grew into 1500 people in just three years-time. Praise God! But, with that “thrill of victory” soon came the “agony of defeat.” Distracted by the ever increasing pressures of success, he soon succumbed to the inevitable defeat. Not focusing on God, not focusing on his family, he ended up losing the church and he almost lost his family. But that was not the end of the story… Out of that experience, he now helps other men who struggle through the same things he did. Today, he and his wife, Heather, enjoy each other more than ever. They are serving together and helping others who are going the struggles they had to endure. He is a Certified Life Coach, Teacher and Speaker with both the John Maxwell Team and the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching and is the founder of “The Catalyst Coaching” program. Russell was on with us back in December of 2020, I believe it was. And we had a great conversation back then. You can go back and listen to in our archives, I believe it was episode 845 or somewhere right in that area. Help me welcome back to the program, Russell De Vos. Russell, thank you for taking the time to join us today! For those who may have missed our prior interview, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Russell De Vos?” And what I just described was, basically, you? Right? Thriving at work but barely hanging on at home? You say you are a “Graduate of the School of Hard Knocks.” That describes me as well. How many fellow graduates do we know? Amen! Why is it that men are so focused on their professional image and professional life? Basically, the more money we make, the better husbands and fathers we are. But that is not the case, is it? Your coaching program is called, “Foundations 101: Go to the Mat?” What is that in reference to? You help men to develop their spiritual lives and to design their personal lives so they can better impact others. You told us about the core areas… Is change in these areas, in our attitudes and in our lives, really possible? And you do that through your coaching program? What kind of success do most men see when working with you? You also have a podcast, “The Wrestling Room,” correct? Tell us about your podcast? Your podcast is also on YouTube, right? What is your goal with the podcast and YouTube channel? Russell, this has really been an interesting interview. If...
Jesus is Everything Dr. Bruce Hartman pt 2Many people today are always striving to move up the next rung on the career ladder. Always trying to get more, do more or be more. But, what happens when you achieve it? What’s next? How many would put on their resume that, they would leave it the corporate world behind and enter into their true life’s calling – of serving the Lord? My guest today has done just that. Dr. Bruce L. Hartman, a former CFO for Fortune 500 firms, such as Yankee Candle Company and Foot Locker, he left the corporate world to follow Jesus and received his Doctorate in ministry. In a storytelling fashion, he gives practical insights on how to have a strong faith life and the power of Jesus. His first four books, https://amzn.to/3kijYa5 (“Jesus & Company”,) https://amzn.to/3hGk3Td (“Your Faith Has Made You Well”) , and about a year ago, Dr. Hartman was on our program discussing his book, https://amzn.to/3hGuB4R (“Spend A Year With Jesus”,) But today, we will be concluding our discussion of his recent book, titled, https://amzn.to/3xKkeCq (“Jesus Is Everything: Discovering It All When There Is Nothing Left But Jesus.”) To live our Faith, to openly serve and proclaim Jesus as Lord, as you say, to “live the Gospel,” – that requires courage in this current politically correct climate today. Does your book share how someone who may be struggling with sharing their Faith, how they can find the courage to take a Faith stand in the face of this kind of opposition? You share that following Jesus is simple to understand – but hard to be completely faithful 100% of the time. What should we do when we come up short and are now feeling a sense of “letting the Lord down?” In the first chapter of your book, you discuss “The man in the bed.” Can you explain this concept? You teach that Jesus is able to give us total freedom, if we are obedient. Doesn’t that seem like a conflicting statement? Freedom versus Obedience? Dr. Bruce, you share in your book that Jesus is the ONLY permanent force in our life. How can someone use that type of relationship to move forward in this world which we find ourselves in? What with the COVID lockdowns, the protests, the political instability, etc. How can someone come to the place of just leaning on the Lord and trusting in Him? Before we finish today, I want to talk about your podcast for a little bit. Tell us about your podcast, https://brucelhartman.com/podcast/ (“A Closer Walk with Jesus.”) How long have you been doing this podcast? Dr. Bruce, this has been a fascinating interview. I do want people to know how to get in touch with you. If someone wanted to reach out, ask a question, etc., how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with or get more information? And your book, https://amzn.to/3xKkeCq (“Jesus Is Everything: Discovering It All When There Is Nothing Left But Jesus.”) How can they get a copy of your book? Is it on Amazon? Folks, Dr. Bruce Hartman’s book, https://amzn.to/3xKkeCq (“Jesus Is Everything: Discovering It All When There Is Nothing Left But Jesus.”) Is a must read. In this book, Dr. Bruce Hartman uncovers the REAL JESUS – the man behind the religious legend. And, Dr. Hartman shares what Jesus wants us to accomplish with our lives as well. This book is written for real people, just like you and me, who are seeking answers to real life issues. And for those answers, Dr. Hartman is pointing everyone to Jesus. I cannot emphasize enough how important it is for you to get a copy of this great book. Actually, you need to order two or three copies! Amen! I know that you know one or two others that would benefit greatly from Dr. Hartman’s book, https://amzn.to/3xKkeCq (“Jesus Is Everything: Discovering It All When There Is Nothing Left But Jesus.”) CONTACT INFORMATION:https://amzn.to/3xKkeCq ()Email: bhartman12345@gmail.com Website: http://www.brucelhartman.com/ (http://www.brucelhartman.com/)...

I know that, in your heart, you believe you were making the right move. What about your peers in the corporate world? What were their thoughts on what you were about to do and how did that weigh on your mind? You emphasize you are not a traditional minister. But you sensed the Lord was calling you into a form of media ministry. Can you explain that for us? What made you believe this book, https://amzn.to/3xKkeCq (“Jesus is Everything,”) was needful for this time in which we live today? To live our Faith, to openly serve and proclaim Jesus as Lord, as you say, to “live the Gospel,” – that requires courage in this current politically correct climate today.

Freedom and Liberty Under Attack Steve Cassell pt 3We are going to be concluding this great interview with my good friend Pastor Steve Cassell of the Beloved Church in Lena, Illinois. This is part three of our interview and if you missed any, and I mean any of the preceding two episodes, well, you need to go back and catch up. Pastor Steve Cassell was the first pastor in America to file legal challenges against executive orders during the pandemic which shut down churches in America. He was the lone voice speaking out against the illegal executive orders mandating that everyone had to wear masks, stop attending church services and limiting the freedom of assembly and, basically, keeping people under house arrest and destroying small businesses in America. Do you see the church entering a period of revival because of all the chaos going on around us? It amazes me how clearly we can see events accelerating to what the Bible calls, “the last days and the soon return of Jesus,” but yet, it seems nobody wants to discuss that. It’s almost as if they are afraid of, literally, “scaring the hell out of somebody.” But that is what is needed right now. We need to “scare the hell out of people” because if not, they will be going to hell. This all relates to, what is called, the finished work on the cross. Jesus accomplished it all – and told us to go forth and occupy until He returns. I think the church has abdicated that responsibility, raised the white flag and surrendered society to the devil. But, that goes back to what Jesus said, the path is narrow and there are few that will find it. But the path that leads to destruction is wide. I think we can see the path the leaders of this nation are leading us down. That just means true, Spiritual leaders, such as yourself and others, going against the grain, going against the current of culture, are fighting to stay on the narrow path that leads to eternal life. Pastor Steve, if someone wanted to get in touch with you, maybe get some additional information on your ministry or your church, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you? Folks, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of staying true to the Word of God. True to those who are actually leading the fight against tyranny and the destruction of this nation, formed as a Christian nation by our forefathers, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, founded on the Word of God. But a nation that is rapidly devolving into a horde of satanic worship from the office of the president on down. Very few are speaking out against the immorality that is taking place. And even fewer are doing anything about it. I encourage you to get in touch with Pastor Steve. Ask your questions. Sign up and stay in touch with his ministry.

Freedom and Liberty Under Attack Steve Cassell pt 1With all of the racial problems, all of the turmoil, all of the major metropolitan cities in devolving into jungles of hate, crime and murders, people are asking “What in the world is going on?” Almost all of the turmoil we see, in the news every night, in the streets we drive down, can be attributed to one major concept – politicians in America have left their calling to serve Christ first, and have sold their souls to the devil in exchange for power. Boiled down to its basic element, that is it. Well, my guest today has been on the front lines of calling out corrupt political stunts that have had adverse effects on society. He was the lone voice speaking out against the illegal executive orders mandating that everyone had to wear masks, stop attending church services and limiting the freedom of assembly and basically keeping people under house arrest and destroying the small businesses in America. He was the first pastor in the nation to do so and, you could say, he took some heat. From peers and foes alike. Steve Cassell is the founder of “Steve Cassell Ministries” and senior pastor at “Beloved Church” located in Lena, Illinois. Steven, his wife, Kay, and I attended Bible School at the same time back in the late 1990’s at JSMI Bible Institute and School of World Evangelism under the teaching of Dr. Jerry Savelle. I’ve had Steve on a few times over the past couple of years and I always look forward to his Holy Spirit inspired interviews. Amen! Steve is also a broadcaster on Evangelism Radio and his program can be heard Monday – Sunday from 3-4pm ET at evangelismradio.com. Let’s start by catching up everyone, you filed the first lawsuit in the nation against the lockdowns, etc., as I described. What has been going on since then? When you first started down that path, you were like David walking out in front of the Israelites to confront Goliath. They were all hiding behind their closed church doors telling you not go out and confront the giant. What was that battle like and when did the tide begin to change? Folks, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of staying true to the Word of God. True to those who are actually leading the fight against tyranny and the destruction of this nation, formed as a Christian nation by our forefathers, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, founded on the Word of God. But a nation that is rapidly devolving into a horde of satanic worship from the office of the president on down. Very few are speaking out against the immorality that is taking place. And even fewer are doing anything about it. I encourage you to get in touch with Pastor Steve. Ask your questions. Sign up and stay in touch with his ministry.

THE HIGH SIGN David Heeren pt 1The Day of the Lord, Armageddon, the End of the World – you can call it whatever you want. But it has been on the minds of Christians for almost 2,000 years. And more if you count the Old Testament prophets, etc. There have been numerous people over the centuries that tried to predict when the “end would come.” All failed. But many just, really, picked a date and built their narrative around it in order to gain influence over others. But, our guest today, has spent the better part of 16 years, I believe, studying the Bible and other references and he has written a book titled, “The High Sign: The Final Great Intervention of God on the Earth.” David Heeren has a life history of logical study of statistics. He is the statistician that created the system used today for rating basketball players and teams. Oh, and he created this back in 1961 while working for the New York Knicks – and it is still used worldwide today! Amen! He knows numbers. He knows facts. He knows how to put them together to develop logical programs that really tell the story. And he did that in this book, “The High Sign: The Final Great Intervention of God on the Earth.” First question, other than that brief information I just shared, is this. Can you tell us in your own words, “Who is David Heeren?” This is a very interesting book and I’m blessed to be able to discuss this theory with you. Folks, I’m telling you, this is a well-researched book. There is an extensive bibliography and almost 150 references in the index. This is not something that was just the result of a bad taco or something. You started down this path by seeing 20 images of comets are in the Book of Isaiah? And you have associated 25 major Biblical events centered around comets? Can you give us a few examples? And of the 25 events, 24 have already occurred. What is the one event left? You hypothesize that Noah’s flood was caused by a comet approaching too close to earth. How did this result in a flood? You have also researched the links to a comet theory that, basically, provides convincing evidence that counters the geologic theory of an ice age, correct? How does all of this relate to Sodom and Gomorrah? And you also believe the plagues in the Book of Exodus were possibly caused by another comet? Folks, we are not in the business of naming dates. Jesus said you could not do that. BUT, we are in the business of “knowing the times and seasons.” And there can be no doubt that we are definitely living in the days the Bible calls, “the last days.” I urge you to get a copy of David Heeren’s book “The High Sign: The Final Great Intervention of God on the Earth.” Go down into the show notes and click the links to order your copy of David Heeren’s book today.

The Coming Government Disclosure About Aliens and UFO'sTom Donnan pt 3Tom Donnan is back as our special guest today. Tom is an evangelist, author, teacher and someone who is on fire for God. He is gifted in discerning spiritual things that others see only in the natural. In this episode, we "boldly go where we have not gone before" - and that is to enter a discussion of UFO's and ET's - with the soon to be released disclosure by the US Government as to what they know in this area. Could this add further ridicule and consternation to the already increasing persecution of Christians in this country and around the world? We do not know the answer to that question. But for the first time, Tom Donnan and I start to look at this perspective and what it could mean. Are they our "creators" instead of God? Are they "friend of foe?" What do they want? Tom and I do not have the answers. But we do share some insight into what this all could mean as this nation, this culture and this society venture down this path of darkness. We start off with a discussion of sun spots and somehow, end up in this new area of discussion. I believe you will find this episode interesting, to say the least... You were affected on a vacation and experienced the gas shortage. Can you share what happened? With our infrastructure failing, what else could go wrong? It will not be long, truck drivers will not be able to deliver their cargo. I mean, look at like this: Drought means not crops. No crops means we don’t eat. Higher prices across the board there. Increase in sun spots causes havoc there, plus shutting down satellite and electronics. This opens the doors to hackers. More effort is put on supporting the infrastructure to keep things moving. But that also means that, in some instances, small details are overlooked, causing big problems for everyone. Look at what happened to that bridge and major highway over the Mississippi River! Did you see that? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNa16AoIcb8 (I-40 bridge closed after officials discover a crack during routine inspection - YouTube) That not only shut down a major highway for the trucks, but river traffic on the Mississippi River was affected as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjTuRcLDkcU (Over 700 Barge pileup causes huge supply chain breakdown, food to skyrocket! - YouTube) I think it is about time we just pull out our communicator and say, “Beam me up, Scotty!” What else can go wrong that indicates the Soon Return of Jesus MUST be close? Wait, you’re saying, really two things here… There is an increase in UFO sightings and these sightings are impacting our military preparedness level as well? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z58HUvlPgLo (Pilot says they've been seeing them on a REGULAR BASIS! Probable FULL DISCLOSURE in June! Oh my... - YouTube) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgziDyPSUog (What Disabled Missiles at Malmstrom Air Force Base? - YouTube) Pastor John Kilpatrick is openly discussing the possibility that UFO’s are showing up because Jesus is about to return? Garden of Eden, He begins by describing the snake as beyond this world, other world being. He believes the world will soon see the greatest deception it has ever seen. Because we are closing out the AGE. All signs of Jesus return are in motion You will soon see some of the things he is talking about as he is getting us ahead of the curve. Great deception, the false prophet and the antichrist like no other deception ever. We need to walk closer to God than ever before. Need to get people ready for the soon return of Jesus Great falling away Governments around the world are realizing we cannot control what is happening in the sky’s above us. Globalist believe they maybe extraterrestrial beings Are they here to usher in peace and prosperity
And our own government is preparing to give validity to these things? Tom, as usual, we are up against a hard break. It seems like ET is making...
THIS AFFECTS US ALLTom Donnan pt 2Tom Donnan is back as our special guest today. Tom is an evangelist, author, teacher and someone who is on fire for God. He is gifted in discerning spiritual things that others see only in the natural. I look forward to our times together each month as Tom shares from the spiritual perspective about things happening all around us, in the news and in our lives. But, stay tuned until the end – because enter an area of discussion that, for the most part, we have not discussed publicly before. And that is the US government preparing to discuss, publicly, for the first time ever, the official government disclosures of ET’s and UFO’s. Tom shares some spiritual insights into this as well. So stay tuned to the end of today’s episode. Well, as always, we end up talking about some abnormalities in space. Asteroids, etc. But today, we leading off with Sun Spots. Could these sun spots also be the cause of the drought conditions that we are seeing? And sun spots also cause damage to a lot of electronic devices we have come to rely on, too. Correct? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MU3xT7f1NjI (Second M-Class Solar Flare Inbound Today May 22nd 2021! - YouTube) Technology is so ingrained in our society. In ways most people do not even realize. If sun spots can disrupt satellite communication, that puts our national defense at a high threat of having issues. Not to mention retail, commerce, banks, your computer system, etc. And when there are issues like that, obviously, security drops because everyone is focused on keeping the ship afloat at that point. Which allows hackers to dive in and take over. Kind of like what happened recently with the oil pipeline that was a major carrier of fuel from the Texas area to the Atlantic coast areas. Long gas lines, gas outages, etc. were the norm for a few weeks. Although this was the fault of hackers, it just shows how much we have become accustomed to these conveniences. Have you seen this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uM-Cdzsrig (Major fuel pipeline forced to shut down after cyber attack - YouTube) You were affected on a vacation and experienced the gas shortage. Can you share what happened? With our infrastructure failing, what else could go wrong? It will not be long, truck drivers will not be able to deliver their cargo. I mean, look at like this: Drought means not crops. No crops means we don’t eat. Higher prices across the board there.

THIS AFFECTS US ALL Tom Donnan pt 1Tom Donnan is back as our special guest today. Tom is an evangelist, author, teacher and someone who is on fire for God. He is gifted in discerning spiritual things that others see only in the natural. I look forward to our times together each month as Tom shares from the spiritual perspective about things happening all around us, in the news and in our lives. If you are familiar with our conversations, I always have to say this disclaimer up front. We may have an outline of some topics to talk about, but the Holy Spirit guides the conversations. That means we never know what kind of rabbit trails we will be led down today. Praise God! Help me welcome back to the program, our good friend, Tom Donnan! Tom, thanks for coming back on the show today. Since we talked last time, so much stuff has been happening around the world, I really don’t know where to begin. I think I would like to talk about what is happening in the number one economic powerhouse and the most powerful military force in the world right now, China. As anti-American as that sounds, it is what is developing right before our eyes. And as we have said before, God allows certain things to happen in order to capture the attention of believes to, basically, “Get with the Program!” My wife called me into see something on the news on TV, I then went to check it out online myself, and – sure enough – there was a YouTube video of this skyscraper in China that is swaying back and forth in the wind. So much so, they had to evacuate it because the authorities thought it was going to collapse. Did you see that? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0_kPQYsMdg (356m Tall Skyscraper Shaking Again, Monitoring Data released, analysis of the causes of shaking - YouTube) You and I talk about earthquakes happening all over the world all of the time. Since we talking here about China, they just experienced, I guess you could call it spawning of earthquakes all in one day. Did you see anything about that? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VPOs38ZG8g (Earthquakes In 4 Places Within 12 Hours In China - YouTube) Another topic we discuss each time is the continued escalation of volcanic activity around the world. It is almost like watching a pot boil when it comes to end time events. It seems like this warning signs started slow, but now – it is like the earth has reached its boiling point with earthquakes and volcanic eruptions happening all over. I recently seen volcanic activity increasing in Sicily and Italy as well as in Africa. Have checked out any of that information? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_lonWDFB4k (HUGE Lava Eruption In Africa! Nyiragongo Volcano Eruption in Congo (May 22, 2021) - YouTube) And let’s not forget about our friends over in Iceland. They even tried to build a sort of “dam” to hold back the lava flows. From what I seen, it didn’t work too well. Did you see the video on that? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WPocY-Xzts (Mesmerizing LAVA run downhill - YouTube) Oh, let’s talk about the drought beginning to impact the world, especially here in the United States. And this is only MAY right now, at the time of this recording. And we are already experiencing severe drought conditions. So much so, that California and Oregon cut off the water supply for irrigation of farms! Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. No water AND no food! California, what a lovely place to live. No laws, high taxes, no water, and no food. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYIB5boMuGw (California/Oregon Cut off Klamath Valley Irrigation to Farmers/Fisheries - YouTube) There are some farmers who have calculated that even if it started to rain normally right now, they may not be able to recover. Their soil is so dry, it just will not grow anything right now! That is almost reminiscent of the “dust bowl” days! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ESfN_FbPG4 (Farmer Forecast - May 18, 2021 ft. Eric Snodgrass - YouTube) Well, as...
It Takes More Than Heart Dennis MellenWe have all experienced those hard roads in life. If you haven’t – you will. Amen. I know I have. I’ve had several life altering occurrences that totally changed my direction and careers. And every single one of them were unexpected. I’m sure you can relate in some way to what I’m saying. Well, my guest today also experienced an unexpected, life altering change, which we will go over. But he made the mental adjustment and continued to move forward. He took the challenge and turned into an opportunity. US Air Force Reserves LTC (Retired) Dennis Mellen served, not only in the military in deployments and support of Desert One, Desert Shield and Desert Storm, as well as many other areas of conflict, he was also working in the civilian sector for Alaska Airlines in various capacities as well. He was head of training for over 550 pilots and 40 instructors; he helped to establish the Alaska Airlines route structure in eastern Russia and has worked in aviation management for two other air carriers leading their training and standardization departments. He served as a consultant for the International Air Transport Association as Operation Safety auditor – before kicking back into a leisurely job of High School baseball coach, becoming a speaker and an author! Glory to God! He is the author of a great book titled, https://amzn.to/34bqq9F (“Takes More Than Heart: Changing the Journey’s Challenges into Opportunities.”) Colonel Mellen says in life, you will encounter many obstacles (if you have not already). How you deal with these challenges will define your character. It is all about a driven heart and pure grit. In his book, Dennis Mellen shares about changing your life’s challenges into opportunities. And this applies to everyone, from athletes to business people. His book will help you to understand the events that may come at you, but will also give you the wisdom to influence the outcomes - by your reaction to the events. He paraphrases a verse in the Bible, Proverbs 24:16 that says, “though a righteous man falls down seven times, he still gets up…” Dennis says, “If you fall seven times, get up eight!” Glory to God! My first question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Dennis Mellen?” Your book, https://amzn.to/34bqq9F (“Takes More Than Heart,”) was this written from the perspective of the military mindset that a challenge or setback is just another opportunity to overcome? This book is part self-help but also part memoir. Your flying career ended unexpectedly, as many people’s lives and careers have also ended with no notice. They did nothing wrong, but faced life altering circumstances of which they had no control. I have as well. Can you tell us your story and what inspired you to write this great book, https://amzn.to/34bqq9F (“Takes More Than Heart: Changing the Journey’s Challenges into Opportunities?”) What other challenges do you share from your life in this book? Who would be the type of reader that would benefit the most from your book? In this time, coming out of the COVID pandemic, there are many, many people that have their lives completely turned upside down. I know there are many people listening to us right now that have experienced business setbacks, personal setbacks, life changing events, health wise, losing loved ones, etc. How can your book help them? Let’s talk a bit about some of the things you share in the book. You use an acronym W.I.N. What is this and how can we use it in our daily life? I also seen this next reference of “taking care of the next 200 feet” on the journey to reaching your goal. What does that refer to? We are about out of time. How can someone get a copy of your great book, https://amzn.to/34bqq9F (“Takes More Than Heart: Changing the Journey’s Challenges into Opportunities?”) Is it on Amazon? If someone wanted to contact you, get more...

I notice Faith and Family are at the forefront. Why is Spiritual growth an essential part of personal development that is lacking in so many professional development programs today? I was watching some of the videos. It looks like BUD’s Training in some of the videos. Is this training inspired by the SEAL training? You teach your clients how to use the right words to correct their mindset. Can you go over a few phrases that men can put to work right away? Between finding the right mindset, the proper vision, building associations and having people to hold them accountable – how does all of this fit into the transformation and change that your clients seek or need? On your website, at riseupkings.com, you have several testimonial videos, etc. What is one of the major things someone tells you after completing the three day event? All of this is so fascinating. But, I think we should bring out, this is not just an open invitation. The people that want to attend must apply and be deemed as a fit for the goals of the program, correct? Who should consider applying to the http://www.riseupkings.com/ (“Rise Up Kings”) program and how can they find out more information?

Rise Up Kings Podcast:
RISE UP KINGS Skylar Lewis pt 1One of the major problems many CEO’s have in running their business, is running the business. It may seem that is all they are doing. Family suffers. Relationships suffer. Their Faith suffers. These CEO’s usually have no confident that they can unload their burdens with. They must always appear to be in charge and confident. This can take a toll on their life and family. My guest today is Skylar Lewis, who knows this all too well. And he decided to create a challenging leadership program that will bring these leaders back to reality. Back to the place they realize they are created for greatness. Skylar Lewis has built multiple multi-million dollar companies and has mastered the art of systemizing businesses. His book which is in pre-launch, “The 2 Day a Week CEO,” describes his journey from being consumed in the business to creating an incredibly profitable company that is run by its employees. Skylar is the CEO of Superior Restoration, http://www.riseupkings.com/ (Rise Up Kings) and Overnight Branding. Superior Restoration is a $10M company that operates on its own. And then, we have http://www.riseupkings.com/ (“Rise Up Kings.”) This is a three day Faith-based business boot camp and professional network of Christian business owners to help men become more intentional with God. The program has now helped men in over 40 states. First question I always ask is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Skylar Lewis?” Your journey took you from being broke to becoming the CEO of two multi-million dollar companies. How did you find your calling to help others become intentional with their lives through http://www.riseupkings.com/ (“Rise Up Kings?”) Your clients are mainly CEO’s and business owners. Why is it important for them to be able to collaborate and network and bond at your event? You tell your clients that we are here to walk a passage in life. And that passage is not meant to be easy. Can you explain what you mean by that statement? One of the problems you have identified and go over in your program is that people are taught to avoid conflict. To avoid pain and to seek comfort. How does http://www.riseupkings.com/ (“Rise Up Kings”) help to change that mindset? Folks, I encourage you, if you fit the description that Skylar Lewis just shared, you need to check out the “Rise Up Kings” website.

Overcoming Adversity by Faith Dorothy Graham O’Dell - Part OneI don’t know about you, but many people have grown up knowing what being bullied is all about. Knowing what it is like to live with low self-esteem. Knowing how to put on a front in order to survive in school, in social settings, etc. I know. I’ve experienced it. My mother died when I was 18 months old. My dad was in and out of prison my entire life. I was basically raised by my grandparents, out in the country. Overweight my entire childhood. My social life was almost nothing. But I survived. And so has our guest today. Dorothy Graham O’Dell grew up being bullied all through school. She even survived being in an abusive relationship. She has battled low self-esteem her entire life. While going to school, her parents had major health issues, so she had to endure taking care of her parents, which resulted in even more social isolation. But, despite all of that, her Faith, strength and determination has brought her through to victory! Glory to God. She is the author of https://amzn.to/3hydbb0 (“The Overcomer: Facing Challenges with Faith and Courage.”) The first question I always ask is this. Can you tell us in your own words, who is Dorothy Graham O’Dell? You say you were bullied all through school, mainly because of your weight. I can relate to that right off the bat. How did that affect you in school? When we are, and I’m including myself in this, when we are socially isolated and basically ostracized, when we finally find someone who pays attention to us, it is easy to get sucked into an abusive relationship. Physically and or emotionally. I know I had some issues in a few emotionally abusive relationships. How was that for you? Your parents were sick and you were taking care of them. Did this result in even more social isolation and ridicule? You married a few years ago. How hard was it to adapt to being married when you both are more mature and kind of “set in your ways,” if I could phrase it that way? Folks, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of you ordering Dorothy Graham-O’Dell’s book, https://amzn.to/3hydbb0 (“The Overcomer.”) This is one book that you will probably want to order two or more copies and share them as gifts.

Crazy Water Girls Kim Ledgerwood pt 1Kim Ledgerwood is a retired police Staff Sergeant with the Toronto, Ontario police department after 30 years.

Well, to tell us all about it, help me welcome to the program, Kim Ledgerwood! Kim, thank you for coming on the program today! First question, other than that brief bit of information I just shared, tell us in your own words, “Who is Kim Ledgerwood?” Before we get into “Crazy Water Girls” and all that you do, how did you find out about hydrogen rich water? And why? Is hydrogen rich water something new or has it been around awhile? What made you decide this was something that you would like to focus on as a career – becoming an entrepreneur touting the benefits of hydrogen rich water? Tell us about what started you down the path of forming “Crazy Water Girls?” How do you help in the Health and Wellness aspect of life in addition to the drinking water aspect? You talked about some other uses for this water. Can you explain some of the other uses? How often do you have to refill or replace these machines? Or is this a one-time purchase? Explain what you just said about it being a medical device… Folks, I don’t know about you, but this is the first time I’ve heard about “Hydrogen Rich water.” I learned a lot today from this interview with Kim Ledgerwood – and I trust you have as well.

The Second Amendment FoundationStephen Willeford pt 3Back on November 5th of 2017, we all seen the news reports of a gunman involved in a mass shooting at a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas that left 26 people murdered inside the First Baptist Church of that town. A neighbor of the church, hearing the gunfire, took action, grabbed his rifle and ran barefoot out of the door and engaged the gunman as he was exiting the church. That man, Stephen Willeford, is our special guest today. After helping stop the deadliest mass shooting in the history of Texas in November 2017, Stephen has become known across the country as the “good guy with a gun.” Stephen credits his unwavering faith and penchant for preparedness as to why he was able to step in during this critical incident, believing that each day of his life prepared him for what happened on that Sunday morning. Stephen has begun speaking publicly about his life and experiences, even delivering a lauded speech at the National Rifle Association Convention in May 2018. Because of his selfless service to his community, Stephen was also an honored guest of members of the Texas delegation at the 2018 State of the Union address in Washington, D.C. He is a member of the National Rifle Association (NRA), was an NRA-certified instructor and a former assistant scoutmaster with the Boy Scouts of America. He is also a spokesman for the Second Amendment Foundation, the nation’s oldest and largest tax exempt education, research, publishing and legal action group focused on the Constitutional right and heritage to privately own and possess firearms. Because of this event, you have been doing public speaking and even helping the Governor of Texas, Greg Abbot, on a special commission. How long have you been involved with the Second Amendment Foundation? With all of the cancel culture going on in America right now, our rights are under attack like never before. And there is a huge push going on to either eliminate or limit our Constitutional rights under the Second Amendment. Tell us about the work that the Second Amendment Foundation is doing in our nation right now? As a spokesman for the Second Amendment Foundation, have you seen interest in your organization growing, what with all of the efforts to take away our 2nd Amendment rights? I know it must cost huge amounts of money to fight all of these cases, individually, all across America. How can someone make a donation or become an active member of the Second Amendment Foundation? Are there local chapters that people can become personally involved in? Attend in person meetings, etc.? Stephen, I do appreciate the work that you and all of the team at the Second Amendment Foundation are doing. This is such vital work that you are doing. If it were not for your organization and others like it, like the NRA, etc., we would already be a nation gone under. Folks, I cannot emphasize how important it is to support the Second Amendment Foundation. The work they do, all over America, standing up for your Constitutional RIGHT to “keep and bear arms;” The victories they are gaining in courts across this land; the precedents they are setting in legal victory after legal victory – well, they are doing it for one reason – YOU. If the powers that be in this nation had their way, they would strip you of ALL of your Constitutional rights. In fact, Joe Biden has already said that there are no absolutes when it comes to your Constitutional rights. I urge you to get in touch with the Second Amendment Foundation and donate to their cause, which IS your cause. Help support them, join their organization. Stand for the rights handed down to us by our Founding Fathers. Just click the link below to get in touch and make a donation. Amen!

Good Guy with a Gun Stephen Willeford pt 1Back on November 5th of 2017, we all seen the news reports of a gunman involved in a mass shooting at a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas that left 26 people murdered inside the First Baptist Church of that town. A neighbor of the church, hearing the gunfire, took action, grabbed his rifle and ran barefoot out of the door and engaged the gunman as he was exiting the church. That man, Stephen Willeford, is our special guest today. Stephen Willeford was raised in a family of five on a dairy farm near the First Baptist Church. Stephen has always relied on his faith to guide his life, and his deep roots in Sutherland Springs are a product of his family’s commitment to their community. An avid sportsman, Stephen began shooting at a young age and honed his shooting skills by participating in shooting competitions as he grew older. After helping stop the deadliest mass shooting in the history of Texas in November 2017, Stephen has become known across the country as the “good guy with a gun.” Stephen credits his unwavering faith and penchant for preparedness as to why he was able to step in during this critical incident, believing that each day of his life prepared him for what happened on that Sunday morning. Stephen has begun speaking publicly about his life and experiences, even delivering a lauded speech at the National Rifle Association Convention in May 2018. Because of his selfless service to his community, Stephen was also an honored guest of members of the Texas delegation at the 2018 State of the Union address in Washington, D.C. He is a member of the National Rifle Association (NRA), was an NRA-certified instructor and a former assistant scoutmaster with the Boy Scouts of America. He is also a spokesman for the Second Amendment Foundation, the nation’s oldest and largest tax exempt education, research, publishing and legal action group focused on the Constitutional right and heritage to privately own and possess firearms. Help me welcome to the program, Stephen Willeford. Stephen, thank you for taking the time to join us today. First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Stephen Willeford?” I know your background was deeply involved in the NRA. You were a certified NRA firearms instructor, etc. In your opinion, how did you all of that come into play when your daughter first told you she heard shooting coming from across the street? From the time you exited your house, how long was it before you seen the gunman? What was the approximate distance between you both? You reference what happened to “David and Goliath.” Tell us about that reference… Folks, I cannot emphasize how important it is to support the Second Amendment Foundation. The work they do, all over America, standing up for your Constitutional RIGHT to “keep and bear arms;” The victories they are gaining in courts across this land; the precedents they are setting in legal victory after legal victory – well, they are doing it for one reason – YOU. If the powers that be in this nation had their way, they would strip you of ALL of your Constitutional rights. Get in touch with Stephen Willeford. Get in touch with the Second Amendment Foundation. Keep our Constitutional rights intact!

The Christian Writer Collective Stephanie ReynoldsAre you a Christian who has a testimony you would like to share? Are you are Christian called to do something greater than you can do on your own? Are you a Christian who would love to be a published author, but you don’t have the time, the know-how or the resources to do a top notch, high quality book, get it distributed and earn a decent income from your effort? How would it feel if you could do all of that and earn a possible significant income on the side? How would it feel to have the opportunity to publish 10-12 or more books in one year? Oh, and only by working about 2-3 hours per week, in addition to writing only 12 chapters in one year? Does this sound interesting to you? Well, if you answered yes to those questions, you will want to pay attention to what we will talk about in these next few minutes. My guest today is Stephanie Reynolds, CEO and founder of the “Christian Writers Collective, LLC.” The “Christian Writers Collective” is seeking 100 Christian authors to contribute to its book series that will be published at the same pace of the bestselling series of secular inspirational books. The plan is to publish one inspirational book each month as part of their “Jesus Can…” book series. Stephanie started writing at the prompting of Chuck Swindoll and started out by journaling and then expanded into writing a Christian newsletter for moms. She also has a background in magazine writing, freelance commercial writing and specialized in providing content for websites. Now, she is tackling this project on behalf of the “Christian Writers Collective.” Stephanie was on our program back in September of 2020. I was so impressed with her plan, that I submitted my testimony the very next day after conducting our interview. And, praise God, I was selected to be part of this unique program. Amen! Help me welcome to the program, Stephanie Reynolds! Stephanie, is so good to have you come back on the program and sharing all about this adventure and catch up our listeners. Amen! What is the purpose for “The Christian Writers Collective?” Stephanie, I know what’s been going on, but for our listeners, catch us up on how this project is coming along… Just before you came on the program back in September of 2020, you said the Lord “directed you to change how you were presenting the income possibilities” because you were afraid of scaring off 100 writers. Explain what the Lord showed you concerning this… Right now, we are at about 30 writers for the first book, which is published, praise God! The second book is in editing. Tell us about the first book, http://www.jesuscanbookseries.com/ (“Jesus Can…Give You A New Life!”) And the second book is currently scheduled for publication on July 4th and is titled, “Jesus Can…Heal Your Hurt.” But, you also have a special contest concerning this second book. Can you share this information with our audience? So, let me get this straight… If anyone listening to us right now would like to join the “Christian Writers Collective,” they have an opportunity to do so by participating in a “Testimony Writing Contest,” which is open from now until May 31, 2021. This will get them a byline in the 2nd book as well? Their testimony needs to be 500-750 words and they can win a prize worth $1000, which is one year free membership in the “Christian Writers Collective?” Praise God! Now, back when we first spoke last September, you were just putting all of this together. As with any new venture, especially this one that is trying to include 100 individual Christian writers, there were bumps and learning curves to figure out along the way. But now, most of these processes have been worked out, things are starting to progress more smoothly and, by working together, only about two to two-half hours per week. This is by supporting the collective in their spare time. And the participants in the “Collective” have an opportunity to...
Third Levels Birth Pangs Tom Donnan pt 3Tom Donnan is back as our special guest today. Tom is an evangelist, author, teacher and someone who is on fire for God. He is gifted in discerning spiritual things that others see only in the natural. I look forward to our times together each month as Tom shares from the spiritual perspective about things happening all around us, in the news and in our lives. If you are familiar with our conversations, I always have to say this disclaimer up front. We may have an outline of some topics to talk about, but the Holy Spirit guides the conversations. That means we never know what kind of rabbit trails we will be led down today. Praise God! We’ve talked many times, over the past couple of years, that every aspect of society is spiraling out of control. Not only because of the pandemic, but nature itself is wreaking havoc on society. Then there are the financial hits we’ve taken. Add in the increases in technology that intrude into people’s lives (as we’ve discussed before). I do not believe it is a coincidence that all of these things are converging, it seems, at one point in time. We talked a bit a few minutes ago about possible economic ramifications, mainly because of the pandemic, but including natural disasters. Did you see this information on lumber being in such short supply, the distributers are purchasing the lumber from their clients – at a profit to the clients – to ship elsewhere? I’ve never heard of that before, have you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2mR8oR7atc (Lumber Is Going Backwards Through The Supply Chain, Retailers Are Selling To Distributors - YouTube) If I’m not mistaken, I believe all of this points to an increase in the inflation rate. And if that happens, any economic recovery at all is going to collapse. Especially since we are now so invested into printing money from thin air due to the current governmental theories of “if you need more money, just print it!” Have you seen anything about a possible increase in inflation about to happen? M1 & M2 Money Supply Charts Reduced from weekly postings to monthly postings. Concern, it shows we are headed into inflation a very bad sign of the economy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjWLR_7fTMA (Is the Fed hiding something? Why weekly money supply data just got discontinued – Steve Hanke - YouTube) If inflation increases and our dollars will not purchase the level of goods we are used to, that means we need to start cutting back. That includes more “stay-cations” rather than vacations. Have you seen anything related to people staying at home or cutting down on luxury’s in order to save money? People useing escapisms by watching travel video’s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rArauuXVtp4 (11 Years Living Off-Grid On A Self-Built Island (full tour) - YouTube) The bible is very clear that one of the sure signs things are about to culminate is when all the nations of the world come against Israel. Have you seen the increase in tensions between Israel, Syria and Iran recently? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGYoVbTA2so (Israel's Nuclear Reactor Now a TARGET for Iran and Syria? | Watchman Newscast - YouTube) Let’s finish up by completing the circle and bringing everything back to America. I know many Christians have been praying for revival to come to America again. In your contacts and travels, do you have any positive news concerning the Spiritual state of the American church?

I do not believe it is a coincidence that all of these things are converging, it seems, at one point in time. Let’s bring all of this back to our own backyards for a minute… I know we are all familiar with the COVID pandemic. And people all over the world have been affected by it. But that is not the only news worthy story going on right now. We’ve covered the increase in volcanic activity and earthquakes, etc. But have you seen a report and video by Michael Snyder, where he discusses seven plagues that are sweeping the world right now? SEVEN! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uq7Pmcug8C8 (7 Plagues That Are Hitting Our Planet Right Now And Creating An Apocalyptic End Game - YouTube) 1 Plague of mice devastating Australia 2 strong earthquakes especially in southern ring of fire 3 Volcano’s, Icelandic, St Vincent in the Caribbean and others 4 America in a Drought, https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/148123/drought-conditions-continue-in-spring-2021 (Drought Conditions Continue in Spring 2021 (nasa.gov)) 5 Locust plague continues 6 Bird Flu serious in Russia 7 Covid in Brazil serious/ India Speaking of catastrophe’s, did you see information on the recent earthquake in Peru? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccnOeEQhyL0 (The earth was groaning!

Did you see that Rome has been invaded, again, by millions of starlings? I know many people flock to see them. But all of these birds are making a mess of things! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVko9jyAkQg (Ten Million Starlings Swarm (7 Tonnes of Bird Poo) | Superswarm | BBC Earth - YouTube) Folks, these things are not random happenings. They are real. They are also depicted in the Bible. They are also ALL related, in some form or fashion, to the "End of Days" that the Bible says will happen just before the soon return of Jesus! I urge you to share this information with your friends, family, co-workers and others. Together, we can "Get the Word Out" that Jesus is returning soon!

The Blueprint of God Don Long pt 4How many of us have wanted to achieve something, starting a business or fulfilling a career goal, but failed? Or, worse yet, never even attempted to achieve the dream? Well, buckle your seat belts, folks. Today is going to be the day where you are going to receive a revelation that will inspire you to make a radical transformation to start walking out your God given destiny. Amen! Today, I am concluding this great, four part interview with Don Long. We have been discussing his latest book, "The Blueprint of God." If you missed any of the prior episode, I urge you to go back and catch up. Don has been sharing some absolutely fabulous information with us. Don Long is a respected serial entrepreneur of two businesses that have generated more than $100 million in sales spanning over three decades. His businesses were rated in the top 1% of companies in his industry in the United States. He sold these businesses so he could pursue his passion of writing, speaking and helping other entrepreneurs to grow their businesses and achieve success, while changing the world for good and embracing your true identity in Christ as a major ingredient for success. Don is the author of three books, https://amzn.to/3lFViqA (“God's Blueprint for Nations,”) https://amzn.to/3ccdrcE (“The Blueprint of God”) and the international bestselling book https://amzn.to/3lOb4zW (“Sell or Don’t Eat.”) I especially liked the reference you gave in your book about the ability of us, human men and women, to influence God and achieve a different outcome in natural circumstances. Share with us the story about Jesus turning the water into wine. I thought that was really insightful… How can we obtain the promises and inheritance that belongs to us? You share about people having more than one calling or destiny. Most people are known for “one thing” that they do, run a business, pastor a church, etc. Can you explain how someone can know what their multiple callings are? People who are thinking of starting a business, what are some of the top topics in blueprints for world class businesses? And how can we apply that, say, staring our own business or growing one we already have? Don, I could just go on and on and pick your brain for hours. I have really enjoyed this interview. I know we could go a lot deeper on https://amzn.to/3ccdrcE (“The Blueprint of God.”) I know there are basically seven steps in your blueprint process that will help people to discover their true identity and destiny in Christ. Can you give us all seven and brief explanation of each as we get ready to close? Take as long as you need, but I definitely wanted to get this information in before we close… Your book, https://amzn.to/3ccdrcE (“The Blueprint of God,”) how can someone order a copy of this book? Is it on Amazon? As we get ready to close, if someone has a question or wants to get in touch with you, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you? I’ll put links to all of this down in the show notes. Folks, I want to close with a quote from Don’s book. I believe it truly represents everything you have just heard and sums it up pretty succinctly. “Now, you are at the moment that requires action! Do you want to be part of something that changes the world around you for good? Are you ready to find some of the answers the world is crying out for that can only be found IN you? Folks, YOU are the answer for someone and for some specific problem in our nation, right now. You know it’s true. Amen! And you can actually FEEL that you were built for something greater than you are currently living right now.” Amen!

The Blueprint of God Don Long pt 3How many of us have wanted to achieve something, starting a business or fulfilling a career goal, but failed? Or, worse yet, never even attempted to achieve the dream? Well, buckle your seat belts, folks. Today is going to be the day where you are going to receive a revelation that will inspire you to make a radical transformation to start walking out your God given destiny. Amen! This is part three of my "four part" interview with Don Long. Don is a respected serial entrepreneur of two businesses that have generated more than $100 million in sales spanning over three decades and author of several books. His latest book is https://amzn.to/3ccdrcE ("The Blueprint of God,") which we will be discussing today. What is the https://amzn.to/3ccdrcE (“Blueprint of God”) and how can we find it? You speak about “the wisdom of the serpent.” What is that and how can it help us to lead national reform? In your book, you mention that it only takes between 3-5% of the population to “tip” the scales and make a shift in our systems. This is actually quite accurate when you think of the homosexual and transgender movement influencing government today. Changing the terms of biological sexual identity and definition of marriage. They only account for about 3% of the population, but they are influencing laws and policies that the other 97% MUST follow. How can we, as individual Christians, start to influence the decision makers and, basically, become the top 3-5% and cause a “tipping” of the systems back to God? So it is basically our “identity” in Christ that should shape how we interact with the world’s systems?

Today is going to be the day where you are going to receive a revelation that will inspire you to make a radical transformation to start walking out your God given destiny. Amen! This is part two of a great "four part" interview with my guest today, Don W. Long, a respected serial entrepreneur of two businesses that have generated more than $100 million in sales spanning over three decades. As a fifth-generation business owner, Don took everything he learned from his family to survive what he calls, “a humbling period” as a door-to-door salesman of Krispy Kreme Donuts, alarms, vacuums, 18-wheeler courses, and other products. In 1986, Don became a partner in a venture that rose to the top five percent in its industry. By 2017, one of Don’s businesses ranked in the top 1% of companies in the US in their industry and by 2019, he sold that business to have time to pursue his many passions. Which include speaking, writing bestselling books and consulting with entrepreneurs to help them grow their companies. Don’s strategic business background and his belief in embracing your true identity in Christ as a major ingredient for success, has him highly sought after by executive leaders, entrepreneurs, and business owners who want to generate greater wealth and change the world for good. Don is the author of three books, https://amzn.to/3lFViqA (“God's Blueprint for Nations,”) https://amzn.to/3ccdrcE (“The Blueprint of God”) and the international bestselling book https://amzn.to/3lOb4zW (“Sell or Don’t Eat.”) You share some interesting insight into the “Seven Pillars of Wisdom” contained in Proverbs 9:1-3. You relate that to systems that are influencing our world today. Would you explain this for us and how you came to realize this information was applicable to us today? You share that the “Great Commission” is actually a three pronged mission. Explain these three areas and how we, as Christians, should be operating in accordance with the “Great Commission…” To Disciple the Nations Save and Repair the Systems Get Every Soul Saved
Explain how the disciples were known for “turning the world upside down” and that is form of fulfilling the “Great Commission” that we can use today… What is the https://amzn.to/3ccdrcE (“Blueprint of God”) and how can we find it?

From your three published books, we are going to focus on https://amzn.to/3ccdrcE (“The Blueprint of God”) today, where you focus on helping people to find their dreams, desires and destiny. Amen! So, I guess we will start with this… in your book, what does the acronym “DREAM” stand for? Share with us the vision God gave you of a Knight in warrior gear and how that is leading you to do what you do today… You say that you’ve thrown away more books on personal growth and fulfilling your destiny than most people will ever read. Why is that? You share some interesting insight into the “Seven Pillars of Wisdom” contained in Proverbs 9:1-3. You relate that to systems that are influencing our world today. Would you explain this for us and how you came to realize this information was applicable to us today?

The Healthy Place Tim Obrien pt 1Everyone has struggled with eating healthy. I mean everyone. I suspect even the cavemen were given the "evil eye" by their spouse for wanting to eat that extra piece of dinosaur meat from off the new fire spicket he installed for her. It is a fact that two out of every three adults in the United States over the age of 20 are overweight or obese. That’s according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. I know I’ve struggled with weight my entire life. Just a couple of years ago, I was at 280 pounds and decided enough was enough. In the last two years, I’ve lost 65 pounds and actually want to go about another 15 or 20. But I haven’t felt this good in years. Amen! We all know that food is the best way to get your vitamins and minerals. But it sometimes can be hard to eat enough fresh veggies, fruits, whole grains, and other healthy options. A multivitamin can be a safe way to boost your nutrients. Don’t believe the studies that support the latest fad diets endorsed by some big name celebrity. Some people, anyone actually, can gain 10 pounds and then document how they went on some gimmicky diet for 30 days and lost 15 pounds and so many inches (but don’t tell you how much they were paid to endorse the product in doing so). Paleo, gluten-free, low-fat, juice cleanses, you name it: Proponents of any diet can find an academic study or some celebrity somewhere to back up their program. That brings me to my guest today. Tim O’Brien started off in the health and wellness industry back in 2003 working for GNC franchises. He then became a District Manager for the chain in 2005. Then, in 2008, he became the manager of Elite Nutrition until founding “The Healthy Place – Apple Wellness” in 2010. Tim has built a solid foundation of knowledge and expertise and this has translated into the success he has experienced in opening his own company. “The Healthy Place” first started online as e-commerce store, then turned into one brick and mortar store - but has now grown to four stores! Amen! Tim believes in educating and empowering individuals to make lifelong, healthy choices and changes in their lives. His desire is to help each individual to reach their true health potential and he does so while giving all of the Glory to God. Amen! Help me welcome to the program, Tim O’Brien! Tim, thank you for coming on the program today! First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, tell us in your own words, “Who is Tim O’Brien?” You started off in a GNC store. We’ve all seen them in the malls, etc. Was this a career decision you made at that time or was it just a job to earn some money and then that turned into a passion? When you met your wife, Becki, were both of you into healthy lifestyles and is that how you met or just something you found out you both had in common? You went from working with GNC to ultimately opening your own company. And it was not really that long of a ride, six or seven years. What was the motivating factor that made you decide you could make a difference? That one thing that was missing from the other healthy style stores out there? You are very selective in the supplements, vitamins, etc. that you offer, correct? I’ve read a lot of material that claims most of the nutrient supplements, etc. that are on the market do not come anywhere near the level of claims that are being made about them. What is your response to questions about the need for supplements, vitamins, etc? How do you determine what supplements qualify for inclusion in your store offerings? I know we always see the little disclaimers that the FDA has not reviewed or approved of supplements, vitamins, etc. that you see offered everywhere. Usually in fine print on the bottom of a TV ad that you have to pause to try and read. Folks, like I stated during the opening to the program, we all either have a weight problem, a health problem or know someone who...
So Much DestructionTom Donnan pt 2There are so many signs of the times in which we are living right now that point to soon return of Jesus. There are so many things happening and the same response is given by almost everyone, which is, “We don’t know why all these things are happening.” Well, I can honestly say, if you are a born again believer, there is only one good answer. The soon return of Jesus is near. That’s all that needs to be said. Amen! We have so many earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, near miss asteroids, pandemics, plagues, not to mention wars and rumors of wars… Well, to touch on these topics, I’ve invited our good friend Tom Donnan to come back on the program today. I find myself wanting to talk to Tom more and more as I see, basically, more and more things going the wrong way in this world. This is part two of our two part discussion (this time) of current events happening all around the globe that point directly to the soon return of Jesus! Tom discusses the recent volcano on Iceland that appears to nearing an eruption. 20,000+ earthquakes in one week, 5.1 and below. New Zealand 8.1 earthquake tsunami warning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gE7G2y5UsI&t=15s (Third monster 8.1 magnitude earthquake hits off NZ coast as people told to flee in tsunami warning - YouTube) There were two quakes above 7 before the 8.1 hit. I seen where they are now starting to experiment on creating a kind of hybrid-humanoid and animal breed. I guess they are looking at taking the best from each or something and creating a new species. Did you see anything in your research about this stuff?

Did you see the information that’s out there concerning trying to interface your brain with the internet? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhBaXoB4iA8 (How transhumanist technologies will change everything? | Zoltan Istvan - YouTube) And we could never end our discussions without venturing out into the Heavenlies. I want to talk about helicopters. Actually, a new helicopter. One that is on the planet Mars right now! Did you see this? First helicopter is now on Mars https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qN8AgSvSFcI (NASA's Ingenuity Mars Helicopter: The First Aircraft on Mars - YouTube) Last year we talked about it going to mars - now it is on Mar! Talk about the huge advances of mankind and advancing technology! There can be no doubt we are in the last of the last days. There is even preparations begun to build the next Temple in Jerusalem. The Third Temple. This is amazing. How will they know where exactly to build the Holy of Holies?

He is the founder of https://theophanymedia.com/ (“Theophany Media,”) which is a Christian media company like no other. He writes fiction and non-fiction in a variety of ways including poetry, short stories, books, screenplays, stage plays, academic essays and also devotionals. He creates content for groups that range from young kids to adults. But his favorite topics are those that help people to better understand the Bible, grow spiritually and help them with their Christian identity. His most recent work is the book https://mphbooks.com/who-we-are/ (“Who We Are,)” which we will be discussing today. But I also want to make a point that he is the co-host of a great podcast called, https://theophanymedia.com/bible-but-funnier/ (“The Bible – But Funnier!”) This is a great podcast…So I’ll be talking a bit about that as well… Praise God! You talk about the “Seven Identities” that Christians may adopt but that are not really “Christian-honoring” in their foundation. Can you explain what you mean and share these seven identities with us? Identity in Sin. Identity in Success Identity in Your Past Identity in Happiness Identity in Family Identity in Sexual Freedom Identity in Groups All of these identities are not totally sinful in nature, right? Why is it important for Christians to think about their identity? What are some issues that pop up when we focus too much on our identity? But doesn’t the Bible tell us that we are “created in the image of God?” Isn’t that our new identity? You list a positive identity that we can adopt to replace the negative identity. Can you share these with us and the identity they replace? NEGATIVE GODLY (Positive) Sin Grace Success Heart for God Past Future promise Happiness Helping others Family Family of God Sexual Freedom Faithful Relationships Earthly Groups Kingdom of God You discuss the metaphors the Apostle Paul used describe our Christ like identity. Can you share these with us? Are they the same as the ones you’ve already shared? If we try to change our own false identities with Christlike identities, this cannot happen overnight, correct? What role does the church play in helping us to adopt true Christian identities? You also wrote a book titled, “Where to Submit Christian Writing: Freelance Opportunities for Short Faith-Based Writing.” This isn’t so much a book like “https://mphbooks.com/who-we-are/ (Who We Are,”) but a reference guide for would be Christian writers?

Tell us a bit about this podcast… Jake, this has been absolutely fascinating. I’ve learned some things and I know our listeners have as well.

The Devil and the Children of God Matthew Deibler pt 2Matthew has since founded the “Lamp on the Stand Motivational Ministry,” which inspires faith-led transformation. He is an outspoken mental health advocate with nearly a decade of powerful influence in the mental health community, where he boldly shares the riveting story of his spiritual rebirth from the depths of panic-ridden agoraphobia, OCD, and addiction. He is also the founder of “The Outlet” which is a natural dialogue mental health community. He is also the author of the book, https://amzn.to/314ciNQ (“The Devil and the Children of God at the End of the World,”) which will be the subject of our discussion today. Your book says that you encountered the devil twice in your life. What do you mean by that? How do you believe you became “lost in temptation” in your second encounter with the devil? You share that sometimes God talks to you. You mention a few times. How do you differentiate the voice of God from, say your own conscience? One story you shared was about the word “water” that you heard the Lord speak to you. Can you share that story with us? One theme that runs throughout your book is about “bad fruit.” What does that phrase mean for you and why do you emphasize it in your book? You have a chapter titled, “Called Out of the Wilderness.” You share a dream or vision you had. Could you share that with our listeners? Tell us about your “Lamp on the Stand Motivational Ministries” and the work you do there… And “The Outlet,” what is that ministry about? How do you help those struggling with mental illness issues? How does your book relate to your work with those outreaches? Mathew, this is all so fascinating. First, I want to congratulate you on beating the devil through the Power of Christ. Praise God. I also want to thank you for the work you are doing to help others struggling with mental health issues. Amen!

The Devil and the Children of God Matthew Deibler pt 1Matthew Deibler, as a child of God, was born with a purpose. But he says he was a marked target of the devil. Unaware of this evil influence, Matthew fell under the spell of the devil’s deceit, drifting deep into the grip of mental illness before suffering a nervous breakdown—and being reborn in the faith. Amen! Matthew has since founded the “Lamp on the Stand Motivational Ministry,” which inspires faith-led transformation. He is an outspoken mental health advocate with nearly a decade of powerful influence in the mental health community, where he boldly shares the riveting story of his spiritual rebirth from the depths of panic-ridden agoraphobia, OCD, and addiction. He is also the founder of “The Outlet” which is a natural dialogue mental health community. He is also the author of the book, https://amzn.to/314ciNQ (“The Devil and the Children of God at the End of the World,”) which will be the subject of our discussion today. Help me welcome to the program, Mathew Deibler! Mathew, thank you for taking the time to join us today. First question that I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, tell us in your own words, “Who is Mathew Deibler?” Tell us about your struggle with mental illness and how that affected you and your those around you… You feared leaving your own home? I believe that is what “agoraphobia” is, correct? How did you work, earn a living, etc? You share in your book that the devil is the one who nurtured this phobia in you. How so? Like you, I was raised as a Lutheran. When I joined the military, I did things that, well, let’s just say things that I’m ashamed of now. But when someone would come to me and try to witness to me, etc. I would fall back, “Oh, I’m a Christian. I got saved when I was in high school.” I would say that because I took the confirmation classes and all of that. Took the communion when I was confirmed and had the card that said so. But it wasn’t until 17 years later that I was at the end of my rope, almost literally, and when I share this, the only way I can describe it is Jesus INVADED my life. Only then did I realize I had been believing a lie about my salvation. Is that how it was with you? Tell us about your life before 2011 and after 2011? Your book says that you encountered the devil twice in your life. What do you mean by that? How do you believe you became “lost in temptation” in your second encounter with the devil? You share that sometimes God talks to you. You mention a few times. How do you differentiate the voice of God from, say your own conscience?

How to Thrive – Clay Cutts pt 1Are you struggling with success? “Struggling with success? What do you mean by that, brother Bob?” Well, do you have the successful career, the trophy wife or rock star husband, perfect kids, money in the bank, etc., etc. – but yet, something is missing. And you can’t put your finger on it. You should be happy but yet, you’re not. You’d be surprised how many people struggle with those same thoughts. Well, if that’s you, you have come to the right place today! My guest today is Clay Cutts. Clay is a licensed Psychotherapist and founder of a company called, “Square Peg Coaching.” His signature program is called “How to Thrive” and he helps you to go from, what he calls, “grinder to thriver.” Amen! Clay is also the author of the book, https://amzn.to/2O36sZG (“Beyond the Bottle.” ) Help me welcome to the program, Clay Cutts. Clay, thank you for taking the time to join us today! First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, tell us in your own words, “Who is Clay Cutts?” What made you decide to go into Psychotherapy? Was something missing? Something the therapy was not helping people with? How did you get into coaching as well? Tell us about “Square Peg Coaching…” Why the term, “Square Peg?” Can you explain for us the difference between therapy and coaching? Tell us about your “How to Thrive” coaching program… Just like the example I opened with, someone who has it all together on paper may be wondering if they are truly happy. I’m guessing these are the types of people that have what are called “mid-life” crisis, correct? Do most of your coaching clients come to you after the crisis, during the crisis or just before they realize there is a crisis? Folks, you know you’ve struggled with thoughts of “is this it?” I know I have. I know you have.

The Sixth Sola Michael Ward pt 1We are all aware of the various denominations that exist in the Christian Faith. Almost all of the claim they are the correct interpreters of the Bible. That is what causes so much strife and division in the Body of Christ. That is also what cause many people not to want anything to do with organized religion. But why? Why are we so focused on the historical events described in the Bible? And when we do reference anything to the present day and time in which we live, it is always in reference to “The Great Commission.” But is that completely accurate? Is that how we are to live our Christian Faith? My guest today has prayed and studied and the Holy Spirit has given him some clarity in understanding and a gift to articulate it. Amen! This information is spot on in my opinion. As I was reading the book “The Sixth Sola,” I found myself many times, telling myself, “Amen! That’s it! That’s right! Amen!” Michael Ward is the author of https://amzn.to/383kodv (“The Sixth Sola.”) He was born in a split denominational home. His father was a Catholic and his mother a Presbyterian. So they split the difference and raised him as a Lutheran. Amen! That’s the church I was raised in many decades ago as well. But due the complexity of the various messages he heard over the year, he started to study the scriptures on his own. He developed his own system for reading most of the New Testament, one chapter per day. That is almost the same style bible reading system I’ve used these past four years. So when I read about Michael’s system, it just resonated with me because I was doing sort of the same thing, though not exactly the same system. But, Michael Ward is here today to discuss his book and the unique Bible reading system that I know will resonate with most of you as well. This is a great way to allow the Holy Spirit to minister to you in just a few minutes per day. I like how your referenced the current state of “discipleship” in our churches today as prepared meals rather than learning how to cook for ourselves. That is so true. What can be done to correct this “fast food” mindset that has invaded the American church scene? What about the books of John, Peter, Jude, etc.? Are you only emphasizing Paul? What about the four Gospels? Is there a certain context you recommend when we read them? Explain for us the difference between “The Great Commission” and what you call “The Great Relationship” and how you came to that realization? You share how Peter was transformed by the day of Pentecost. Can you share some of that information with our listeners? You go into the conversion of Saul to Paul. One of the main characters I love to preach on is Ananias. We can tell he’s sensitive to the Holy Spirit. When the Lord calls him, he hears and answers. Then, he tries to argue with the Lord! I love that part. “Ah, Lord, you do know what this guy is here for, right? And you want ME to go in and tell him that YOU sent me to talk to him? Are you sure that’s the right thing to do?” LOL That’s Faith in demonstration right there! You have, what you call, the “Very Important Question” or VIQ. Tell us about this question and why it is so important? Even today… As we get ready to close, can you walk us through your system for reading the Bible in this way? A way that will allow us to be more focused on the work of the Holy Spirit? Folks, I cannot emphasize enough how much this interview with Michael Ward has resonated with my Spirit. He’s been sharing things articulately that I’ve been trying to communicate for nearly 25 years. Praise God! You need to get your own copy of Michael’s book, https://amzn.to/383kodv (“The Sixth Sola.”) Use the links down below and order your book. And I want to emphasize, as we close, that the ball is now in your court. Michael has written the book, https://amzn.to/383kodv (“The Sixth Sola.”) He’s made it available to you. I’ve had him on the podcast today to...
Redemption Project Ministries Jordan Cunnington pt 2What comes to mind when you think of the word “Redemption?” No, I’m talking about the band… I’m talking about the act of God in saving you from you sin. Something you could never do for yourself. Amen. What about the word “Revival?” What do you think of now? For many, it would the old time church meetings with fire and brimstone preaching telling us the end of the world is about to happen and you need to be ready. Amen. But in actuality, revival cannot happen in a nation until it happens in the churches. It cannot happen in the churches until it happens in individual hearts. And revival cannot come into a person’s heart until that heart is redeemed. Amen! Well, today is part two of a great three part interview with my guest today, Jordan Cunnington. Jordan and his wife are dedicated to taking the message of Salvation in Christ alone to the world and sharing the story of redemption and to bring a message that is designed to bring a worldwide revival to the churches and the hearts of individuals. Praise God! Jordan and Kacy Cunnington are traveling evangelists with “Redemption Project Ministries” and they share the messages of God with the purpose of brining the Body of Christ, the Church, back into alignment with the heart of God. Their goal is to ignite this fire, this passion, in the church and to bring purity, holiness and repentance that can only be achieved through the unadulterated Word of God. How did you discover the call of God on your life? How did that happen? How did you come up with the name, “Redemption Project Ministries?” You talk about the “Kingdom First Mindset.” What do you mean by that? When you minister in churches, you place a significant emphasis on bringing people into the presence of God. How do you do this and why do you believe it is so important? Explain the difference for us between God’s manifest presence and the fact that He is always Omnipresent… I’ve been saying for years that every single person is called into some form of ministry. It may not be the five-fold ministry, but there is a place in ministry for every single person. I use three categories. Every believer is either called to GO (that is the five-fold ministry). Called to help those that go (the ministry of helps). Or called to SEND those that go (the ministry of finance – paying for those that go). Being in the five-fold ministry yourself, how do you see the impact those that are called to GO are actually making in this society we live in today? Do you see various ministries working together focused on the Kingdom or focusing on their own little corner of the woods? Folks, there is absolutely no doubt that we are living in what the Bible calls the “last days.” There is no doubt. It is only a question of “When?” I urge you, especially you pastors out there, get in touch with Jordan Cunnington today. Go down into the show notes and get in touch with him. Check out his website, send him an email. Invite him and his wife Kacy to come and speak at your church or ministry event. Bless them with the invite, bless them in meeting their expenses and bless them with the opportunity to share the Word of God and impact someone’s life. You never know, it could be someone whom you care and love deeply that the Lord could use Jordan and/or Kacy to get that person born again and into the Kingdom of God. Amen! Go down into the show notes and get in touch with Jordan and Kacy today. Invite them out to your church or ministry event. Allow God to be God. Amen!

The Unlucky Sperm Club Nelson Tressler pt 2In October of 1971, two police officers were shot by John Tressler in a small town of Bellefonte, PA. One died, Officer Ronald Seymore. During the first trial, John Tressler’s daughter testified the reason behind the shooting was because, allegedly, officer Seymore had raped her on a traffic stop and she had become pregnant. That baby boy, has now grown up and written a book titled, https://amzn.to/3qGdlP3 (“The Unlucky Sperm Club: You Are Not A Victim of Your Circumstances.” ) Nelson Tressler is my guest on the program today. Nelson grew up with that stigma attached to his name, in a small town environment where everybody, literally, knows your name. He joined the Air Force and after serving completed his college degree at the University of Nevada and spent 20 years in commercial real estate as one of the top producing agents in the nation. He has personally brokered will over $1 Billion in commercial real estate deals for his clients. Nelson founded a company called “IGOTSMARTER”, built on 25 years of life lessons he picked up from his “murder to millions” story.” He helps his clients to implement philosophies, goal setting and personal development techniques that he has used over the years to build his personal success. Back in the 1970’s there was no DNA evidence or anything like that. So, your mother, Diane, it was basically her word against the reputation of a police officer whom her father had murdered. That did not sound like a good situation anyway you looked at it. What was life like in your town after that, while you were growing up? How did your family, the other brothers and sisters, your aunts and uncles, handle the situation? And how did they relate on a daily basis with you? When and why did you decide to join the Air Force? You served on a few deployments, correct? When you finished your tour of service, I’m guessing going back to your home town was not something that you wanted to do? You graduate and start your first company. What was that company about? What did you do? How did you become involved in commercial real estate? Tell us about your company IGOTSMART. It is about creating and achieving goals and uses an app based system? Tell us about this and how it works? It is based on 15 philosophies you’ve lived by and achieved your success. We don’t have time to go into all 15, but give us your top three… Why did you decide to write your book, https://amzn.to/3qGdlP3 (“The Unlucky Sperm Club?”) Was this a sort of, therapeutic way of dealing with your past and turning it into something positive? Something that might help others? In your book, you share how someone can reject their victim mindset and take control back over their life – regardless of what cards they have been dealt. Give us a couple of examples of how they can do that… Nelson, I appreciate your openness and your willingness to help others by sharing your story. Your book is definitely a must read. Folks, I just cannot express in words the needfulness of you to buy this book. Nelson has shared things in this book that we have not even had time to cover. And those we did cover today, really, we just barely scratched the surface. His willingness to take the tragic story of how he came to be and the environment in which he grew up, an environment of not his making, is worth reading about in this book. But then, he shares how he turned his life around! Praise God! He shares how he turned what look like a cursed life into a blessed life. It did not happen overnight. But it did happen. And now, through this book and through his company IGOTSMART, you can read about it and learn about it and implement these strategies yourself. Amen! Go down into the show notes and order your copy of Nelson Tressler’s great book, https://amzn.to/3qGdlP3 (“The Unlucky Sperm Club: You Are Not A Victim of Your Circumstances But A Product of Your Choices.”) In fact, order two or three copies and bless

Nelson grew up with that stigma attached to his name, in a small town environment where everybody, literally, knows your name. He joined the Air Force and after serving completed his college degree at the University of Nevada and spent 20 years in commercial real estate as one of the top producing agents in the nation. He has personally brokered will over $1 Billion in commercial real estate deals for his clients. Nelson founded a company called https://igotsmarter.com/ (“IGOTSMARTER”,) built on 25 years of life lessons he picked up from his “murder to millions” story.” He helps his clients to implement philosophies, goal setting and personal development techniques that he has used over the years to build his personal success. “Who is Nelson Tressler?” How was it for you growing up? Well, first, before we get to that question, why don’t you give us the background on what happened. Your mother was one of, I believe 16 children. So things were pretty tight as it was. I grew up in that time. Inflation was high, unemployment was going up. The racial tensions were high, we had just come of the 1967-1969 turmoil. Vietnam was still going, etc. So life could not have been easy for a large family like that, correct? When I read the book excerpt, I was immediately drawn in. Give us the background on what happened with your grandfather on that fateful day in October 1971. Your mothers allegations did not come out until the defense portion of the trail? The prosecutors had no idea this testimony was going to be offered? Back in the 1970’s there was no DNA evidence or anything like that. So it was basically your mother's word, Diane, against the reputation of a police officer whom her father had murdered. That did not sound like a good situation anyway you looked at it. What was life like in your town after that, while you were growing up? How did your family, the other brothers and sisters, your aunts and uncles, handle the situation? And how did they relate on a daily basis with you? When and why did you decide to join the Air Force? You served on a few deployments, correct? When you finished your tour of service, I’m guessing going back to your home town was not something that you wanted to do? You graduate and start your first company. What was that company about? What did you do? How did you become involved in commercial real estate? Tell us about your company https://igotsmarter.com/ (IGOTSMARTER.) It is about creating and achieving goals and uses an app based system? Tell us about this and how it works? It is based on 15 philosophies you’ve lived by and achieved your success. We don’t have time to go into all 15, but give us your top three… Folks, I just cannot express in words the needfulness of you to buy this book. Nelson has shared things in this book that we have not even had time to cover. And those we did cover today, really, we just barely scratched the surface. His willingness to take the tragic story of how he came to be and the environment in which he grew up, an environment of not his making, is worth reading about in this book. But then, he shares how he turned his life around! Praise God! He shares how he turned what look like a cursed life into a blessed life. It did not happen overnight. But it did happen. And now, through this book and through his company https://igotsmarter.com/ (IGOTSMARTER,) you can read...
Heartfelt Meditations Michaela Cox pt 2Imagine, if you will, you are recently divorced and wondering how your life will proceed. Then, you meet the love of your life. Marriage, children, life is good. Until, unexpectedly spouse dies. Now, your alone again, but responsible for the upbringing of two children. Oh, and did I fail to mention, you have a life-long disability with blindness? And now, you are a single mother of two? How do you navigate these unchartered waters, on your own, on a trip you were not prepared to take alone? This is the background for my special guest today, Michaela Cox. Michaela is a six time author with a story to share that includes, what she calls her “38 triple D” going from much tribulation to learning how to thrive in all things in life. Praise God! You have authored six books. I believe your first book was https://amzn.to/2McYEUG (“Heartfelt Meditations,”) correct? And this was a book of poetry that was inspired by Scripture? Why did you write this book, in I believe, 2011, correct? Let’s move into your book, https://amzn.to/37DYsp8 (“Scripture, Spirituality and Culture: Seeking the Place of Our Faith and Beliefs in Today’s Culture.” ) Why did you write this book? What was the inspiration behind this book? And then we have your book, https://amzn.to/2NxEUvN (“Before the Clock Strikes Midnight: A Collection of Truthful and Wise Words for the Journey Ahead.” ) You wrote this book as a way to pass some pearls of wisdom on to your children as they begin to travel their path in life, correct? Is this written to children, young adults or mothers? I want to touch on this book. It seemed, at first, a little different than I was expecting. Your book, https://amzn.to/3byINII (“Living the Beach Life: Reflections and Lessons for Life’s Journey Learned in the Waves of the Ocean of Life.”) This book is not just about kicking back on the beach drinking margarita’s, right? Now, I want to shift gears a bit and let’s talk about your next two books. https://amzn.to/3bta8MC (“Take a Sip, Take a Breath and Go… A Journey Through Motherhood.” ) This is the first book. Gives us some insight into what your readers are going to find in this book? The companion book, which was recently published, is https://amzn.to/2NyBWXI (“Take a Sip, Take a Breath and Go…A Companion Book for Exploring and Discovering Your Own Journey Through Motherhood.” ) Why was this book necessary? This has several lists in it, I thought were great. You say this book will help you to develop your “mother voice.” I had to laugh at that. My kids, their older now, but they told me before how I would tell them to do something and they would wait until the tone of my voice changed…then they knew it had to get done and get down now! Is that what you mean? “We the People?” is a book that you are ready to release, correct? Tell us about this book… And you are working on a book called “Now I See.” Tell us about this new book… Michaela, this is all fascinating. You, personally, have been through things that most of us could never begin to comprehend. But, with the Lord’s Grace and your determination, you are persevering. If someone wanted to get in touch with you, maybe to ask a question or perhaps even do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you? Folks, you have heard, really just a snippet of the things Michaela Cox shares in her books. I wanted to try and give you an overview of all she has to offer. She has accomplished a lot, using her talents as a writer, taking care of her boys and, at the same time, encouraging and inspiring others along the way with her books and writing. I want to encourage you to order one or more of her books. The links are down below in the show notes. In fact, they are very affordable, I would recommend you buy at least two or three. If you have or a part of a book club, these books would be a great addition for...

Awakened By Grace Darlene WestHow many of us have done something, knowing we should not have. Sometimes, it goes unnoticed. Sometimes, it is not only noticed, but it has tragic results. In some of those cases, grief sets in. Serious grief. Self-blame. Shutting ourselves off from family and friends. Maybe, in some cases, even hating God for allowing whatever it was to happen. Well, the scenario I just laid out for you, as familiar as it may sound to some, is from a fictional book titled, https://amzn.to/3bnoaPA (“Awakened By Grace,”) written by my guest today, Darlene West. Darlene is a retired corporate developer, program designer, and curriculum specialist. Though she grew up in and loved the restaurant business, her favorite regular job was being a Christian radio disc jockey in Champlain, New York. She has a Bachelor’s degree in English with a minor in the concentration of fiction, as well as a Master’s Degree in Adult Education. And she has put all of those skills together in the writing of this great book, https://amzn.to/3bnoaPA (“Awakened by Grace.”) Help me welcome to the program, Darlene West! Darlene, thank you for coming on the program today! First question, other than that brief information I just shared, tell us in your own words, “Who is Darlene West?” What inspired you to write https://amzn.to/3bnoaPA (“Awakened By Grace?”) Tell us about your main character, Franklin Franklyn. Starting out, he’s not a believer, right? Is his character based on someone you know? Or just rather designed for the purpose of this book? How does his granddaughter, Maggie, break through the grief and teach her grandfather a thing or two about Faith? How long did it take you write this book? How hard was it to develop the characters in the book, since this was all fiction? Were there periods of time when you hit the wall? Writers block? What genre does your book fit into? Christian? Fiction? Christian Fiction? How would you classify it? How hard was it for you to find a publisher for your book? Are you working on part two? Is this going to become a series for this story with Franklin Franklyn? Or Maggie? Any thoughts on when you may publish that work? https://amzn.to/3bnoaPA (“Awakened By Grace,”) is it available on Amazon? Is that how everyone can order a copy of the book? You need to get your own copy of this great book by Darlene West, “Awakened By Grace.” In fact, I’d recommend getting two or three copies! If you are part of a book club, recommend the book to your group. I think all of you would really get into the story and there would so much you could talk about. But, even if you are not part of a book club, I know that you know someone who would enjoy this book. So order two or three copies. One for you and a couple to sow into someone’s life.

Oh My Heart – April Metzler pt 1https://aprildmetzler.com/home/ ()Many people have been struggling during this past year, with the COVID crisis and the resulting social isolation and shut downs that have been taking place. Many churches have had to cut back or even cancel their services. For many people, church has always been that one place they could go to seek some semblance of peace. The Peace of God. But that has not been an option for many people during this past year. That takes some special people with a special anointing to try and take that message to the masses in any way they can. The message that “God Loves You” is one that needs to be shared far and wide, especially in the world we see falling apart around us today. April Metzler is a Christian author and song writer that draws daily with her walk with God to minister hope and encouragement to others with a heart for intercessory prayer.

I know the COVID restrictions put a damper on being invited to sing, etc. as a guest at other churches. But now that it looks like things may get loosened up a bit, are you reaching out to come and minister by song in other places? When did you first discover your love for song writing? Do you remember the first song you actually wrote? Who is your intended listener? What label are you releasing under? I’ve listened to your songs, they are really good!

And I don’t want to forget your podcast! Praise God! What is the link to your podcast so we can listen to the great conversations you have there? I will put all of these links down below in the show notes. Folks, you absolutely need to get a copy of April Metzler’s new book, “Oh My God, My Heart: It is the Pursuit That Matters.” This book, I can’t say it any plainer…this book will give you the encouragement to face these uncertain times in a way that God intends for you to walk all situations in your life.

Give us a couple of examples what the readers will find in your book… I especially liked the story about when your in-laws, shall we say, cleaned up your house while you were sleeping and tossed out some very important papers you were working on?

A veteran singer and composer, she has been featured at countless local, national and international events.

You encourage your readers to understand that God is with us, even in our most difficult times. I couldn’t agree more. How can someone, going through a very dark time, find the Faith to have Faith, when they can’t see anything but despair? You used the phrase, “The devil would not tempt you if you were not a worthy prize.” You shared how you were offered $250,000 for various cosmetic things, but only if you would deny your Catholic Faith? What was that all about? You definitely have a calling for music (unlike me, when everyone knows music IS NOT my calling)…But something many people may not know, you also sing in tongues, correct? You became a military wife. I joined the military right out of high school and was married at the ripe old age of 19 as well. Although I enjoyed the varied assignments, looking back, I know it was hard on the family. We moved a total of 13 times in 12 years. How did you view all of the moves and travel? Tell us about the time you unexpectedly found yourself in a mass the Pope was giving… Tell us about the Catholic priest that prayed silently outside your door. Can you explain that part of your book for us? There are so many interesting stories you share in your book, “Unfailing Grace.” We have just highlighted some of them. But there is another aspect of your book that many do not find very often, you use QR Codes throughout your book! Tell us about these QR codes that the reader will come across, what are they for? Julie, believe it or not, once again we are almost out of time, Praise God! I keep saying I have to get this clock fixed, it always seems like it runs fast when I’m doing a really great interview. If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question, maybe have you come and speak at a conference or in their church, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you? And your book, how can someone order a copy of your book? Is it on Amazon? I’ll be putting links to all of this down in the show notes below. I urge you to reach out to Julie Carrick. Email her, visit her website. Order her book, in fact, order two or three copies. I know that you know someone or possibly two or three others that can use this type of inspiration.

Today, I want to focus on this great book! http://www.juliecarrick.com/ () In the prior interview, we covered a lot of your background and some of the details of your ministry. Your music ministry and your speaking make up the majority of your time, of course. But you recently published your first book “Unfailing Grace.” First, why do you believe the Lord had you write this book for this day and this time in which we live? How long of a process was it for you to write this book? In your book, you share how God believes in you, even when you do not believe in yourself. Can you give us an example of this in your life from your book? You share how God will send His angels to us in ways we are not even aware. What example do you provide in your book where this has happened to you? Share with us some examples from your book of how miracles happen in our life… What do you mean by the statement, “Survivors guilt can be a path to finding deeper purpose after suffering…?” You had a miracle happen with your second child.

Ministry of Unfailing Grace Julie Carrick pt 2We have a very special guest for you today. She has ministered all over the world and is Internationally known for her music and her speaking engagements. Julie Carrick is one of the most effective speakers and artists in the Catholic Church today. She brings a passionate message of faith, hope, and love masterfully woven together through her music and personal witness about living the faith. A veteran singer and composer, She has been featured at countless local, national and international events. As a Radio host heard on stations across the U.S., she boldly shares her faith at every opportunity. With 15 awe-inspiring recordings, her music shares the emotional element that takes the message of God’s love from the head to the heart. She has over 25 years of ministry experience and is the co-founder of the Carrick Ministries Foundation and she is here with us today in part two of a great four part interview! I read that you had a supernatural intervention of sorts on September 11, 2001. Would you share with us what happened with you on that tragic day? You’ve had some health issues along the way, as we all have. You are a lung cancer survivor. But you use the phrase, “the gift of cancer.” That is an unusual phrase. Would you expound on that for us? Because this not just a healing issue for you, correct? Have you found this allows you to connect on a deeper, spiritual level, with others that may have issues going on in their lives? Healing, emotional, etc.? Tell us about the outreach of your ministry, “Carrick Ministries Foundation.” You support work in Guatemala, I believe… You have 15 music recordings, many have won you awards and recognition in the music industry. Do you have your own, for lack of a better word, your own “group” that you record with, rehearse with, etc. on a regular basis? My first ministry related job was working with a national concert ministry with Dr. Vernard Johnson. I worked for him for a little over two years. I was his concert coordinator and would travel with him, setting up the event halls, arenas and was the stage manager and director for the concerts. We did 48 concerts in 48 cities in a year. I know what it is like to be on the road…but ours was spread out over a year… I read that, for several years running, you held an average of 65 concerts over 90 days! In addition to ministering in local parishes, etc. How did you do that? I’d have collapsed working like that! I urge you to reach out to Julie Carrick. Email her, visit her website. Order her book – most definitely, you need to order her music! Praise God! Music is one of the most powerful spiritual forces in the world. Why do you think the devil tries to keep control of the music industry? But when you put the Faith of God and Word of God into music, as Julie has, you can experience the same victory that David used to experience. The Peace of God, the Power of God the Blessings of God can surround you, protect you, guide you – and you will accomplish more for the Kingdom than you could ever have imagined! Amen! Just look at what God has accomplished with Julie Carrick because she yielded herself and gave herself to serve Him in music.

First question, other than that brief information I just shared, tell us in your own words, “Who is Julie Carrick?” You definitely have a calling for music (unlike me, when everyone knows music IS NOT my calling)…How did you get started in the music ministry? You are from Michigan originally. Where at in Michigan? How has the Lord used your music to open doors to share your Faith around the world? You sang for our troops recovering from the war in Iraq. What was that experience like? When you minister, you try to use real life stories to make the point that being a Christian does not mean we will never have any more trials. How are you able to weave these stories into the points you are making from scriptures? You’ve had some things happen in your life that many people would not know how to handle. You had a daughter that was raped and became pregnant from the rape. How did your Faith help you – and her – through that ordeal? One of your talks is “What it means to be truly pro-life.” In light of the climate of cancel culture and “everything evil is good” that our nation seems to be running towards right now, how has this message impacted those that hear it? I urge you to reach out to Julie Carrick. Email her, visit her website. Order her book – most definitely, you need to order her music! Praise God! Music is one of the most powerful spiritual forces in the world. Why do you think the devil tries to keep control of the music industry? Go down into the show notes and get in touch with Julie. Be sure to order her new book, “Unfailing Grace." http://www.juliecarrick.com/ ()CONTACT INFORMATION:EMAIL: Julie@CarrickMinistries.com Website: http://www.juliecarrick.com/ (http://www.juliecarrick.com) https://carrickm.ipower.com/store/index.html (CD’s Of Julie Carrick Music (her website store))
Health, Healing and Wholeness Tracy Crump pt 1Have you ever been in a situation where everyone around you has given up hope? Where the one left that could do anything at all was God? I know I have. I know most of you probably have had to experience that at one time or another, right?
Now, imagine if your career caused you to experience these things on almost a daily basis. Imagine if you had to go to work KNOWING that you were going to be placed in a situation where, not just individuals, but families, multiple people would be facing hopeless situations right in front of you, all day long…
That would be the career choice our guest initially made, working as an ICU nurse and caregiver where she continued to offer hope and encouragement no matter the situation. She did this knowing, that often, we don’t always get to experience healing in this life the way we want it to happen.
Tracy Crump may have started out as an ICU nurse, but after five years, she transitioned into what she considers her most important career ever, raising her children and providing home schooling for her two boys.
Through the process of time, she found she had a knack for storytelling and, eventually writing. She has written in over 100 pieces of published works, including numerous pieces that were published in “Chicken Soup for the Soul,” praise God! Her articles have been featured in many national magazines has appeared in “Guideposts” books as well as “The Upper Room,” “Light from the Word” and many other devotional publications. She also does proof reading for the “Farmers Almanac” and is a freelance editor and presents writers workshops through “Write Life Workshops” and at writers conferences across the country.
Now, after accomplishing all of that, she is releasing her first book in June 2021 titled, “Health, Healing, and Wholeness: Devotions of Hope in the Midst of Illness.” Praise the Lord – help me welcome to the program, Tracy Crump!
Tracy, thank you for taking the time to join us today on the program…
First question, other than that brief information I just shared, could you tell us in your own words, “Who is Tracy Crump?”
Let’s start with your nursing career. What made you want to go into nursing to begin with?
How did your Faith allow you to minister to those experiencing life altering, if not life ending, situations for themselves or family members and loved ones?
Did these situations ever shake your Faith and make you ask “Why, God? Why?”
Was leaving your nursing career a hard choice to make, considering all of the time and money spent on college and getting to that point in your career?
How difficult was it for you to implement a dedicated and successful home schooling program?
What challenges did you face when you started home schooling?
How did you get involved with writing during this time?
Let’s talk a bit about some of your published works. You have 30 articles in the “Chicken Soup for the Soul” series?
And you have been published in other anthologies as well, right? Can you share some of them that our readers may recognize?
You’ve written articles for “Focus on the Family” as well, correct?
You have also been published in “Woman’s World,” “Lifeway Publications” and other periodicals, correct?
But none of these were ever a “book.” These were articles or chapters, basically, like for “Chicken Soup for the Soul.” What took so long for you to decide to take the plunge and write your first book?
Your book, “Health, Healing, and Wholeness: Devotions of Hope in the Midst of Illness” is a devotional with thirty different inspirational but with a focus on health issues. Is that correct?
What made you decide to create this as a devotional?
How does your book differ from other devotionals? Is it the focus on health related issues?
These thirty devotionals, are they based on true life experiences or are they a compilation of general situations that you have put into story form to get your point across? Like Jesus and His parables?
Folks, we all have a story to tell. We all have had experiences in life that have taught us something. All of us can help someone else as they go through things in life that, at times, may not seem fair. But it is life. And your experiences could offer encouragement and hope to those who have never gone through these things before. I want to encourage you to order Tracy Crumps new book, “Health, Healing, and Wholeness: Devotions of Hope in the Midst of Illness.”

Looking Back to Move Forward Terry Nightingale pt 2Everyone has setbacks. Sometimes, it seems like we may have more setbacks than others. Sometimes it seems like we are set up for a setback. Amen! But, if you actually look back at the events that seemed like a setback, you were actually being set up for success. God is totally in control and at all times. He is never “out of control.” Despite your circumstances, He is always in control.
There WILL come a point, at some time in the future, when God’s Plan does come to pass in your life. Then you will be able to look back to the famous setback and see how God DID turn it into a set up for where you are now or at that point in time. You will then appreciate how much God loves you and took care of you as He manipulated the path of life you were on, to bring you into a place where He needed you to be at this point in your life. Amen!
Well, my guest today has written a book just on that very topic! Praise God! Terry Nightingale is a pastor down under in Perth, Western Australia. Pastor Terry authors a weekly blog titled, The Best is Yet to Come” which is short messages for busy Christian on the go.
He has just released his first non-fiction book for Christian leaders called, “Looking Back to Move Forward: Embracing Setbacks for Greater Fruitfulness.” In this book, Pastor Terry suggests some intentional reflection on past experiences in the presence of God may just be the key you need to progress into future fruitfulness… Praise God.
In your book, you tell the story of Moses sending out the 12 spies and the bad report they brought back. How does God use that by looking back to move forward?
You also share the story of a time you tried to talk to your pastor about some concerns, but the timing and place you decided to discuss it was not the best. But you pushed forward with the discussion anyway and it caused irreparable harm to your relationship. Looking back, how could you have handled that situation differently?
In your book, how do your recommend people to handle situations like this?
Many times, leaders – and pastors in particular, feel alone. They are expected to have all the answers. They are expected to behave perfectly in every situation. They are expected never do anything wrong – ever! They are expected to be available at the drop of a hat and all of that. How can leaders and pastors handle these kinds of expectations from their followers and not drive people off by making it clear that “they are human, too?”
One of the biggest things leaders, and pastors, have to face is their own disappointments. They wanted to achieve X,Y,Z and didn’t. They wanted to double the size of the congregation in three years, instead it decreased. They wanted to increase the amount of income so they could expand the sanctuary, or whatever, but their goals never materialized. How should they handle those kinds of disappointment?
How important is it for pastors and ministry leaders to have someone they can confide in? I know, most people think the pastor confides in God…but I’m talking about a person who knows what they are going through. How important has that been for you and how do you recommend someone do this as well?
Terry, your book, “Looking Back to Move Forward,” is fascinating. I think everyone needs to get a copy of it. The concepts you share are absolutely spot on. How can someone get a copy of your book? It’s on Amazon, correct?
And you are putting together a podcast as well as you blog site, correct?
Tell us about your blog and what your podcast is about…
I have one more question for you before we close…
Can you tell us about your first Christian novel you wrote? The one that dealt with time travel? That sounds interesting…
Folks, Terry Nightingale has shared with you some insights that, truthfully, apply to everyone, not just those in ministry. These ideas and concepts he has outlined in his book, “Looking Back to Move Forward” can be used, yes by people in the ministry, but also by business leaders others as well. These concepts are rooted in the Word of God and apply to so many situations you, I and others face in life.
I want to encourage you to go down into the show notes and click the link to order a copy of Terry Nightingale’s book, “Looking Back to Move Forward.” In fact, I’d recommend you buy two or three copies! Why? Buy one for your pastor and another friend. If you are a pastor listening to this right now – buy one for each member of your staff. You can all read this book and use it to take your church or your ministry to new levels. Amen!

Looking Back to Move Forward Terry Nightingale pt 1Everyone has setbacks. Sometimes, it seems like we may have more setbacks than others. Sometimes it seems like we are set up for a setback. Amen! But, if you actually look back at the events that seemed like a setback, you were actually being set up for success. God is totally in control and at all times. He is never “out of control.” Despite your circumstances, He is always in control.
I know you’ve heard the scripture quoted, usually be some well-meaning Christian who is trying to make you feel good when you are in the midst of a setback, that “All things work for good for them that love the Lord… and you just have to trust God in this situation…” How did that make you feel at that time? Is that what you needed to hear?
There WILL come a point, at some time in the future, when God’s Plan does come to pass in your life. Then you will be able to look back to the famous setback and see how God DID turn it into a set up for where you are now or at that point in time. You will then appreciate how much God loves you and took care of you as He manipulated the path of life you were on, to bring you into a place where He needed you to be at this point in your life. Amen!
Well, my guest today has written a book just on that very topic! Praise God! Terry Nightingale is a pastor down under in Perth, Western Australia. He moved there from the United Kingdom in 2003, with his wife Sue and he has been involved in some facet of Christian ministry over the years in teaching, evangelism, music ministry and pastoral care. Pastor Terry authors a weekly blog titled, The Best is Yet to Come” which is short messages for busy Christian on the go.
He has just released his first non-fiction book for Christian leaders called, “Looking Back to Move Forward: Embracing Setbacks for Greater Fruitfulness.” In this book, Pastor Terry suggests some intentional reflection on past experiences in the presence of God may just be the key you need to progress into future fruitfulness… Praise God.
Help me welcome to the program, Pastor Terry Nightingale! Pastor Terry, thank you for joining us on the program today!
The first question I always ask is this, other than that brief information I just shared, tell us in your own words, “Who is Terry Nightingale?”
Why do you think God had you write this book for this time that we are in right now?
Many authors write books based on their past experiences. I know I have as well. Is this book based on your own experiences and are these included in the book?
Have you noticed that “complaining” seems to be the norm for almost everyone, church folks included. We complain about the weather, the politics, the length of the pastors sermon. Some complain it is too short, to vague others that it is too long, to technical. Some don’t like the way the pastor is dressed and others don’t like the way the pastor’s wife is dressed. I could go on and on. But I know you experience that as well. Is this something discussed in your book, the complaining? And how does God use that to move us forward?
What about the backstabbing? For Moses, they wanted to kill him. That probably is not so prevalent in society today – but the backstabbing still is. And, truth be told, we all have done it concerning others in our past. How does all of this “work together for good” as we move forward in life?
When building anything, a ministry, a business, etc., there will be good times and bad. That is expected. In your book, how does God use the story of the bad report the twelve spies came back and reported, to actually move them forward?
You tell the story of the time you tried to talk to your pastor about some concerns, but the timing and place you decided to discuss it was not the best. And, when told so, how you pushed forward with the conversation anyway and that ended up, “scarring” your relationship. Looking back, how you could have handled it differently.
How do you recommend, in your book, someone handle situations like this?
Folks, Terry Nightingale has shared with you some insights that, truthfully, apply to everyone, not just those in ministry. These ideas and concepts he has outlined in his book, “Looking Back to Move Forward” can be used, yes by people in the ministry, but also by business leaders others as well.

The 3 C’s of Role Model Caleb Woods pt 1Caleb Woods is CEO of RoleModel Software & promotes continuous improvement while cultivating a collaborative work environment with Christian values.
Caleb grew up in Michigan and started working in a financial consulting firm while still in high school…praise God! While there, he progressed so fast he was soon began customizing CMS plugins and even writing some JavaScript himself. Amen!
He pursued a college degree in Computer Information and Technology through an accelerated program as part of CollegePlus. They were so impressed with his abilities, they offered him a position with their company.
Fast forward a bit and CollegePlus needed help from a software development company and, in the Lord’s plan and timing, Caleb was offered a position with this company, called RoleModel.
He continued to take on more and more leadership roles as was quickly promoted to Chief Technology Officer.
Then, just a short time ago, Caleb was promoted by the business founder to role of Chief Executive Officer for RoleModel, a Christian founded custom software company in Holly Springs, NC.
Caleb says the purpose of RoleModel is to “glorify God by applying their craft to serve business innovators and collegues.” RoleModel is now 20 years old and is a world-class, collaborative software development team with over $5 million of projected revenue and over 30 employees that are all dedicated to delivering the highest quality, custom web and mobile software solutions while cultivating a work environment where community, family, learning and mentoring flourish.
You are a Christian and you stand for your Christian values. Is that one of the things that attracted you to working with RoleModel?
RoleModel Software Company uses the gifts and talents to honor God first and then you seek to serve your clients and bring them value. That is a tremendous statement! As a business to business company, is your faith reflected in how you serve your clients?
RoleModel has three core values: Character, Collaboration and Craftsmanship. Can you go over those three core values and explain to us how that has been implemented in your business and how it affects all that you do?
Tell us about the mentorship program at RoleModel Software and how this allows you to grow and build your internal resources, your current employees and raise them up to become leaders…
If someone listening to us right now is either just starting out with a software company or maybe they are aspiring to work with one, what advice can you give them that you wish someone would have shared with you?
In this time of COVID and of shutdowns, etc., how has this affected your business?
What drives you every day? What gives you that, “I need to get moving” mentality?
Where do you see RoleModel Software, say in ten years?
Is building custom software a wise investment? Either for investors or for people working in the industry?
Folks, the information you just received is stuff you will not hear anywhere else, amen! Caleb Woods is someone who started with just a desire to serve the Lord in the gifts the Lord had blessed him with. That’s where everyone should start off – amen! But look at what the Lord has done! And, we know the Lord is no respecter of persons! What He did for Caleb Woods and the staff and company at RoleModel Software – He will do for you and your company!
But in order to activate the Blessing – you have to walk in the Blessing. And that entails putting God first and foremost in everything you do!
I encourage you to get in touch with Caleb Woods. Reach out to him. Ask him questions. See if he and his staff at RoleModel Software can assist you in developing that missing piece of the puzzle that will propel you to the next level of success. Ask Caleb to come and speak at your conferences. Basically, just get in touch with him today and at least start the conversation.

The 3 C’s of Role Model Caleb Woods pt 1How would it feel to working for eight years in a job you love, a job you have a passion for, a job you excel in – and to be recognized by the founder of the company as who he wants to put in charge as the CEO? Do you think there is any pressure there? Oh, while the CEO continues to work at the company!
Well, our guest today has achieved that level of success – and doing it while maintaining his Christian core values and – we should add – the company’s core Christian values as well. Amen!

Fast forward a bit and CollegePlus needed help from a software development company and, in the Lord’s plan and timing, Caleb was offered a position with this company, called RoleModel.
After working on a project building a cloud-based storage service for the Agricultural industry and streamlining that process, hew soon put in charge of other projects and provided great insights and initiated some applications that streamlined his company’s operations. For this, he was named the Software Director at RoleModel. He continued to take on more and more leadership roles as was quickly promoted to Chief Technology Officer.

Were there certain habits you had developed that assisted you along the way?
When you first started with RoleModel Software, what were you working on that caught the attention of management that you were someone they wanted to groom into leadership?
Tell us about RoleModel Softare – what makes them stand out from the competition?
One phrase I seen, I want to ask you what it means. “Extracting expertise into custom software with small feedback loops.” That does that mean and how is this different from what other companies, such as RoleModel Software, how is this different from what they do?
You are a Christian and you stand for your Christian values. Is that one of the things that attracted you to working with RoleModel?

The Mall of Hope Christopher Jones pt 1How many times have you seen a heart tugging video on television that is urging you to support feeding hungry kids in Africa or help dig wells in the Middle East or some other worthy cause? How many times have you donated to those causes over the years? Do you really know where that money goes?
“Well, surely, brother Bob, it goes to those causes, other than just a little bit for administrative purposes.” Are you sure? Have you checked?
I know, when I was working in an administrative capacity for the American Red Cross, they maintained that 90% of their donations reached the intended target for the donation. Back then, and I can only attest for back in the mid-1990’s, I can’t say for sure what it is today, they kept back 10% for administrative expenses.
But, if you really dig, most non-profits do not do that.
To help in that area, and to allow you to donate to various projects that are on your heart, I’ve invited Christopher Jones to join us today to tell us about his “Mall of Hope.”
The “Mall of Hope” operates on that 10% and 90% principle. Something that is almost unheard of in non-profits today. To discuss this and some other things he has set up to be a blessing to others, help me welcome to the program, Christopher Jones!
Christopher, thank you for coming on the program to share all about your vision and what you are doing to impact this world in a positive way.
First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Christopher Jones?”
What led you to taking on the enormous project of creating “The Mall of Hope?” I mean, most non-profits focus on one thing, like digging wells or feeding the homeless. But you are taking on an entire gamut of things. How did you come to this idea?
What kind of challenges did you face while building this for the last eight years?
And you are not finished there. Tell us how you ensure the continued operations are being funded for these projects…
And most non-profits pay huge salaries to their heads and the staff, as compared to percentages being distributed to the causes, right?
Do many non-profits run a side business, to generate funds? Or do they rely solely on donations for their support?
How does your platform “Noblehire” work (for people looking for a job or businesses looking to hire)?
How does the software connect employers to people looking for employment?
Another program I found interesting was creating a memorial that you can prepare now, while you are still alive, that will bless your family for decades or more after you pass on. Can you tell us about the “Cherish These Words” program? What is it and how does it work?
So a person would record themselves and send that to you and you would make the memorial before they actually passed away, right? Is this going to be an online memorial?
The “Mall of Hope” has several different platforms attached to it. That is why it is like a “mall.” You can find different things, different stores if you will, but there will be something there that interests you and that you want to support while somebody else may be interested in something else.
I especially like the idea of obtaining the land for fruit trees and helping give people training in how they can be a blessing to others through these programs.
You also have a process in mind to cut down on grave yard overcrowding that I found interesting. Share this information with our listeners…
And there are several other programs like these on your website, which is at www.ChristopherWayneJones.com by the way, for our listeners out there. That website again is www.ChristopherWayneJones.com. But you help people in various ways on this website. This section I’m talking about right now is helping people, basically to earn an income and but you also help them to build an affiliate program. Explain how all that works…
“Noblehire” and “Cherish These Words” and these affiliate programs are all on your website, correct?
Now, these are not under “Mall of Hope” themselves. I need to make that distinction. These are business opportunities, right?
Ok, now let’s shift back to the “Mall of Hope.” I really love this concept. You have several different non-profit opportunities that will make a difference all around the world. From creating a Hearing Impaired Restaurant to planting trees to fighting poverty in Africa. You have a total of nine different projects you support through your “Mall of Hope.”
Poverty in Africa Education Graveyards Homelessness
Mattress Trees Hearing Impaired Restaurant
Pets Sand and Plastic Problem
All of these problems as well as possible solutions are outlined on “The Mall of Hope.”
Folks, you really need to check out Christopher’s website. There are so many opportunities for you on there. From seeking a job to generating additional income by sharing this information with others to donating to various projects under the non-profit “Mall of Hope.”

The Prophetic Almanac for 2021 – Pastor Bill Jenkins pt 1
With all of the turmoil that took place in this nation and around the world last year, wouldn’t have been nice to have a little “heads-up” about things that were going to take place? The year 2020 was filled with unexpected surprises, right? Well, not if you were paying attention to an interview we did on December 30th of 2019. In that interview, my guest today shared some prophetic insights into things that were going to happen in the year 2020.
In fact, he does this every year in a book he releases called “The Prophetic Almanac.”
Pastor Bill Jenkins is a 1991 graduate from Christ for the Nations in Dallas, Texas. He has been in ministry for almost 30 years. He also had his own Television Program on the Trinity Broadcasting Network - and has hosted the “Praise the Lord” program as well. AMEN!
He has written numerous books and is quickly becoming known as a modern day Apostle of God with a prophetic voice. He and his wife, Britain, work extremely hard to release the message of HOPE in our world (and very needful, for such a time as this, I might add).
Pastor Jenkins takes some of the toughest passages of scripture and explains them in a practical and interesting way. He is quickly becoming the “Go To” guy when it comes to Biblical interpretation.
Every year, about this time, I ask Pastor Bill to come back on and share with us his insights from the Word of God as he talks about the new issue of “The Prophetic Almanac” as it relates to the coming year. And that is what we will be talking about today as we leave a very hectic and chaotic 2020 behind and are moving forward into 2021.
Help me welcome back to the program, Pastor Bill Jenkins. Pastor, thank you for taking the time to visit with us today!
For those that may not have heard our interviews from the past few years that we have been doing these interviews, tell us in your own words, “Who is Bill Jenkins?”
Last year, we discussed the “Prophetic Almanac” for 2020. Can you recap some of the things that the Lord showed you and that you covered in your book – and how those things played out in 2020? I mean, you must have been going through like a checklist with your book because of everything that was going on…
Let’s move now into 2021…
What do you see as God’s prophetic purpose for 2021?
What does the number 21 mean, prophetically?
What does God expect from the Church in 2021?
I’ve seen some things in the news from all over the world. Volcano in Italy, in Indonesia, a volcano, acid rain and floods and mudslide all in one day…things are accelerating at a rapid pace. You mentioned asteroids, etc. Tell us what you have in your book about these things for 2021.
How do you see 2021 impacting the United States, as a whole, specifically? We will get into the regions in a moment.
The Vision of Daniel for Today Dr. Richard Ruhling pt 2With all that has been happening in the world, and especially here in the United States recently, some are wondering if this all points to the Biblical “end times” as depicted in the Bible. In fact, in the Book of Daniel, he is told to “…shut up these words and seal the book until the time of the end. Many will roam to and fro and knowledge will increase.”
My guest today is a frequent guest on our program. I always look forward to Dr. Richard Ruhling’s appearances as his knowledge on a variety of topics always speaks directly to things we see happening all around us. From the COVID virus to eating healthy instead of taking toxic medications; from signs of the times to warnings from the Bible, Dr. Ruhling has proven himself to be an expert that we can turn to for a wealth of information.
Dr. Richard Ruhling earned both his MD and Masters in Public Health from Loma Linda University, followed by Internal Medicine and board-certification, a cardiology fellowship teaching Health Science at Loma Linda University. In his latest book, Health, Happiness & Destiny, he combines his advice on health with spiritual thought and the result can be described as a richly impressive ‘food for thought’ and guide for a healthy happy life. He has spoken with us on many occasions and, I always ask him to share with us his interpretation of “Parable of the 10 Virgins” – I find his analysis of that parable unparalleled in Biblical prophetic interpretation.
Dr. Ruhling explains how “bad things” happen in the Jewish Sabbatical years – but how that also relates to the “Year of the Lord” in this end time scenario (and times it out to 2023).
Luke 12:36 – Dr. Ruhling shares about the “wedding parables” and how they relate to the day in which we now live.
Dr. Ruhling discusses how a major earthquake will usher in the “Day of the Lord” and is anticipating it to happen in 2023. There was recently a major earthquake of Mt. Vesuvius in Italy (seat of the Catholic Church).
What is the next major Biblical event that you believe will significantly impact this nation and the world?
Dr. Ruhling talks about his book, written 25 years ago called “The Fall of America” and how applicable it is now in the day and time we live in today.
Folks, as I said at the beginning of this program, Dr. Ruhling is a trusted source when it comes to being healthy in this environment in which we find ourselves today. And he is a trusted visionary and I always learn a lot as he interprets current events that you see happening in the news with Biblical prophecy. And from what you have heard today, now you know what I’m talking about. Amen!
Get in touch with Dr. Ruhling right now, today. Order his book, it will bless you. It may just save your life or the life of someone you love. Use the links down below and get in touch with him today.

Vertical Relationship Melia Diana pt 2As you have gone through trials in life, I’m sure some good meaning Christian tried to give you words of encouragement such as, “All things work together for good with God…” or “God has a plan in all of this…” or “God will not put more on you than He knows you are able to handle…”
Have you been told things like that while working through major issues in life? Did those kind words of inspiration encourage you? Or were you thinking you’d like to wring the persons neck who said them?
Everybody goes through problems. Sometimes, they are problems of our own making. Other times, they are problems that life just throws at us. But either way, they are problems. So the question becomes, “How do we, not only cope with the current situation, but overcome?”
We don’t want to just endure – we want VICTORY! Right?
Melia Diana is an International Best-Selling author; a Certified Christian Counselor, speaker and relationship & dating coach. She specializes in helping you to receive that inner healing transformation who unashamedly loves the Lord and is indefinitely serious about her Faith walk with Jesus. Amen!

She is also the author of a great book titled, “Vertical Relationship: 4 Steps to Salvation & Getting Right with God.” We discussed her background and the writing of this book in the prior episode. Today we will do a deep dive into her book and how it will bless you!
This book, “Vertical Relationship,” is for both, men and women, but you only personally coach women, is that correct?
You participated in a joint book with several other women, that became an International Best Seller, titled “Overcomer: Redeemed Masterpiece (Inspired Stories of Real People with Unconquerable Will to Thrive and Be Alive). How did you become associated with that work?
What was your chapter about in this book?
How hard is it to keep your personal feelings in check as you are helping others work through their issues and you are pouring yourself into ministering to them?
As you are helping these people, I’m guessing the Lord will show you something…something that needs to be addressed in their life. Maybe something they are, either not aware of our possibly have buried deep in their soul. How do you know that this is something the Lord wants you to bring to the surface in their life?
Have you received an testimonials about how you have impacted and helped others through your ministry?
Do you only help single women, married women or both?
You said this book could be used by men also. How so?
You said this book was many years in the making. What held you back and what kinds of obstacles did you, personally, have to fight through to fulfill this mission?
By writing this book, how this helped your Faith to grow?
Where can someone get a copy of your book, “Vertical Relationships?” Is it available on Amazon?
I viewed the trailer you have on YouTube. It’s awesome.
I’ll put links to both books and the trailer in the show notes below…
Folks, this book is so impactful, you just have to get a copy. If you are a woman listening to us right now, you NEED to get a copy of Melia Diana’s book, “Vertical Relationship: 4 Steps to Salvation & Getting Right with God.”

Five Nuggets of Wisdom Ken Rupert pt 1Ken Rupert is the founder of the “Financial Black Belt” financial management system, an author, of the book and a speaker, producer and Master Christian Life Coach who helps his clients achieve financial stability.
Ken is the author of several books on strategic planning and spiritual development. And links to those are down in the show notes. I urge you to check them out as they will give you a lot of great tips and insight into things we will talk about today
Ken has a degree in Business Administration and Management and has over 30 years of experience in corporate America. His many years of working as a strategic analyst has positioned him to help others overcome the stresses of life and the pressure of financial problems. Ken is a Maryland native, a US Army and Maryland National Guard veteran and a devoted, loving husband and father.
If you missed any of other prior interviews, you can get a whole lot of information on your financial well-being and how to improve your overall financial fitness by going back to our archives and listening to the fabulous tips Ken has provided in the past. Just go the search bar and type in “Ken Rupert” and all of his interview episodes will pop right up.
Help me welcome to the program, our good friend, Ken Rupert! Ken, thank you for taking the time to come back on the program today!
For those that may not have heard our prior interviews, the last interview as about a year ago and we have many new listeners since then, tell us in your own words, “Who is Ken Rupert?”
Before we get into the five nuggets of wisdom that I want to ask you about, how did you get started in the “Black Belt Financial System” that you’ve perfected?
These are definitely trying times right now. I remember you talking about how someone has to take steps to prepare for unprecedented times on our prior interviews. Has that type of preparation helped you in the day and time we find ourselves now?
I remember last time, you shared how each family needs to have three major accounts. A checking account, a savings account and a separate emergency account. Can you briefly go over that information again for our listeners? I believe some people will be able to better relate to what you were talking about now than they could before.
3 major accounts:
- Checking worth 1.5 times your expenses
- Savings worth 1.5 times the VALUE of your monthly expenses (not a cash flow account – use it as a buffer).
- Emergency Account equal to your annual gross income! This will allow you to actually go about 24 months to withstand any financial impact (layoff, etc.). Because you will cut expenses, of course?
Let’s talk about these “Five Nuggets of Wisdom” that you are sharing and teaching your clients. What is Nugget #1?
- You cannot produce gold without digging below the surface.
The explanation is obvious – but how does that apply to people and their finances today?
They say the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, but the second-best time is today. I believe the services you offer will benefit someone – even though it may not help them today…I believe everything we have seen happen has convinced people to take some type of action for the future.

Truth to Triumph Ashton Smith pt 2How many of you have had to go through adversity to achieve your dreams? How many of you have had to face these adversities while enduring racism, being taken advantage of. How many of you had to go through all of that while having a disability? How many of you went through all of that and still managed to excel to the top ranks in your field?
Well, that is what you will be hearing about today…
My guest is Blind, but is a visionary. Ashton Smith has had to overcome adversity at every level and at every turn, against all odds. Now, she is sharing her personal story and her unique personal and powerful insights and life changing opinions and advice on her podcast called “Truth to Triumph.” She is a Special Olympic Gold Medalist Tri-Athlete, motivational speaker and brand ambassador. Ashton says every person can rise above the pain, naysayers and abuse and become the champion that God has created them to be. She is also the author of a book titled, “Swimming Upstream to Realize the Dream."
You say that the individual athletes are responsible for their own expenses at all times. What does Special Olympics do with the funds raised all over the country? I thought that was for the athletes?
We hear about abuses in organizations, like the Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts and yes, even Special Olympics. Did you experience any abuse or adversity while with Special Olympics?
You told me that Special Olympics informed you not to use their logo or anything on your individual marketing, like your website, etc. Correct? Has that been resolved?
Let’s fast forward a bit…
How has your Faith helped you in all of this?
Your book, “Swimming Upstream” when is that scheduled to be published?
Can you give us the “8 Lessons Learned from Competing in Special Olympics?”
Tell us about your podcast, the “Truth to Triumph” podcast… great trailer by the way…
You are also involved in the Black Lives Matter cause. You have clothing and things like that on your website in an effort to raise funds. Have you had any response to those offers?
Ashton, how can someone get in touch with you, ask you a question or maybe even do an interview like this?
Folks, what you’ve heard from Ashton today should be raising your awareness to what is going on right around you on a daily basis. Besides the COVID shutdown, as if that were not bad enough, there are people hurting everywhere. People that you may think have it all together.
Ashton has had a lifetime of adversity. A lifetime of struggling against the system that, for all appearances, was there to help her. It was not until she was on the inside, part of the system, that the true realities of it became apparent.
You need to get in touch with Ashton Smith. Go down into the show notes and click the links. Go to her website. You definitely need to buy her book. That is a definite. You can reach out to her and get more information on that by clicking the links below as well.
Ashton, I want to thank you for your time in coming on the program today. I do appreciate it.

The CEO Confidant – Angel Ribo pt 2In this day and time of COVID, many business owners, small, medium and large corporations, are facing unprecedented pressures and situations. Many have never planned for the things they are currently experiencing. You may be one of these businesses adversely impacted. Well, today’s program is especially for you.
Our guest today helps “C” level executives to make their businesses better, more profitable and more efficient. The information you will hear today can also be applied to just about any level of business. Maybe not directly, but at least indirectly. The information is applicable, actionable and, in this environment, very needful.
Angel Ribo is a business consultant, International CEO, Philanthropist and the founder of “The CEO Confidant,” an organization that helps “C” level executives to become more aware of the implications of their business decisions and the decision making processes.
Concerning asking specific questions and not accepting generalized answers... Have you experienced this type of situation where a business leader was not being specific in the things they should have been tracking and holding others accountable in?
How can someone who is responsible for supervising others, for example a C level executive or a business owner, how can they make sure the information they are receiving is accurate and useful in making decisions?
How can business owners differentiate their business from others? Standing out from among the crowd, so to speak?
In this day and time of COVID, have you found many of your clients embracing Zoom meetings and tele-working rather than face to face meetings?
Are they indicating they will continue these types of meetings in the future, after COVID?
You have a non-profit called “Wisdom for Kids.” Can you tell us about this organization and what you do?
Angel, this has been a fascinating conversation. If someone wants to get more information, needs to ask you a question or possibly someone wants to do an interview like this, how can they get in touch with you?
Folks, the information you heard today can impact your business, the business of someone you know or care about and it can impact your family and community as well.
If you have a business, or if you know someone who has a business, give them Angel Ribo’s contact information. Share the link to this podcast episode with them. The information they receive may save their business. It may improve their business so it is able to help even more people and families. You just never know how the Lord will use the information that Angel Ribo will be able to provide. I encourage you to share this information with them and have them get in touch with Angel.

First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Angel Ribo?”
You help a lot of high level executives in your business. I know this is a challenging area since many at this level are very guarded in how much they share with others. How have you been able to overcome this and gain the confidence of this, basically, closed-knit group?
Do most of these executives come to you for help in increasing sales, increasing performance of staff, or other things? Can you give some examples?
One saying I have seen you use, in some posts and some videos, is the phrase, “So What?” I love how you use this to snap people into focusing on specifics. Can you give us some examples of how you use this?
As a junior officer in the military, we had a Squadron Commander who was notorious for asking the hard questions. I actually learned a lot from him that I’ve continued to use in business, as a police officer supervisor and in the ministry. It involves asking detailed questions and not accepting general answers.
Folks, the information you heard today can impact your business, the business of someone you know or care about and it can impact your family and community as well. If you have a business, or if you know someone who has a business, give them Angel Ribo’s contact information. Share the link to this podcast episode with them. The information they receive may save their business.

JOURNEY OF A CHRISTIAN DAD – DAN LUIGS PT 3When you are single, you only worry about you. Once you are married, you start to think about how you can bless your wife (or husband if you are a woman listening to this). Then, when you become a father, it suddenly dawns on you that you have a FAMILY.
I can remember thinking, at the ripe old age of 19, that I was married and a DAD! I was still a teenager! I was still trying to find my way and now, I had a family that was looking to ME to be a provider and to be a leader. And, I may add, I was NOT born again at that time (and was not born again for many years from that time, sad to say).
But, what do you do when that realization comes? What do you do when your family is now looking to you to be the leader?
That is what we will be discussing today with my guest, Dan Luigs. Dan is US Army Veteran, praise God.
Dan is a coach for the Accelerate Mastermind Group. He is on the advisory board for the Good Dad Project and has been featured on the Good Dad Podcast. Dan is also an insurance salesman at “The Insurance Store” located in Chesterfield, Missouri and is a leader in insurance sales through using referrals. And he is the host of the “Journey of the Christian Dad Podcast!” Praise God!
Now, I’ve heard your first episode of your podcast where you talk about the conversation you had with God about starting your podcast. Tell us how you heard from the Lord about starting your podcast…
One thing I love about doing interviews with so many people, is that I learn so much just by doing these interviews. Are you finding that out as you are doing your interviews?
Tell us about your Facebook Group…When did you start the group and what is the purpose and what do you do there?
Dan, this is so needful in the society we live in today. If someone wanted to get more information from you, to get in contact with you or maybe to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
Folks, especially you men out there, Dan Luigs is here to help. You need to understand the Spiritual hierarchy that the Lord has established in the family. The responsibility is shared, yes, between the husband and the wife. But God will be holding the husband and fathers responsible for ensuring the family is operating and growing and thriving according to Christian principles. We need to make sure we are leading our family correctly and Biblically.
I urge you to get in touch with Dan Luigs. Use the links down below. Get in touch and see how he can help you. It may just be to give you some encouragement. It may be more. But you will not know unless you ask. And that is why I asked Dan to come on the program today, to explain this to you in ways I could not communicate. He’s the pro at this. He’s provided his contact information and I will put those links in the show notes below. So get in touch with Dan Luigs today.

Part of your story is how you went from a high income job to no income at all. I can relate to that situation 100%. That sounds just like my past. So, how did that shape what you are doing today?
Growing up, you believed the mom’s in the family had the responsibility of being the Spiritual authority in the home. What made you believe that?
What made you realize that you needed be the Spiritual leader in the family and home?
How difficult was it for you to start out sharing your Faith?
What do you recall as that pivotal moment when you decided you were going to share your Faith and if that caused a rift, so be it?

Naked Grace Lucas Kitchen pt 2Many people today are beginning to realize that they need God now more than ever. With everything going on in the world, with COVID shutdowns and a resurgence in the pandemic to businesses being shut down, closed and some never to reopen. Careers suddenly ending. Income stopped or cut way back.
People everywhere are wondering if they are really saved? They are wondering if something does happen, would they be one of those who would see Jesus as He welcomes them to Heaven…or not…
That is one of the most important questions that people who are searching for eternal life ask, “What do I have to do to be saved?”
On the surface, that should be one of the easiest questions for other believers to answer for someone. But it seems as if it is, instead, one that most people struggle with when trying to share the simple Gospel message of Salvation with others.
In 2012, Lucas Kitchen began to write and has since published 15 books, one of which is called “Naked Grace” and we will be discussing this book today.
In NAKED GRACE, Lucas Kitchen uses wit, humor, and visual storytelling to invite you to join his life-long quest for answers. This multi-decade pursuit took Lucas to some laugh-out-loud places. When the stakes were as high as they could be, the simple answer finally came.
His true life story in NAKED GRACE explores the confusion that many Christians quietly experience on a weekly basis. As this book demonstrates: just because they’re quiet doesn’t mean they get it. This self-deprecating tale will resonate with anyone who has wrestled with these unanswered questions and is dying to know the truth.
Did you feel it was just you that was confused? Or did you know others felt the same way?
What was the response from your ministry leaders whom you were asking these questions to?
Why did you title your book, “Naked Grace?” Where did that come from?
Give us the basic layout of your book. Can you give us a couple of examples of the stories you share?
When someone reads your book, what is the thing that will impact them the most? What will be the big take away?
Your book, “Naked Grace,” it’s available on Amazon, correct?
Your bio says your have written numerous books. Give us some of the subject matter of your other books…
Lucas, this is all so interesting. You’ve definitely given our listeners some interesting things to think about when it comes to sharing salvation and how to answer that ages old question of “What do I need to do to get saved?”
NO! I urge you to go down into the show notes and get a copy of Lucas Kitchen’s book, “Naked Grace” today. Do it while you are thinking about it. This book will be a great addition to your reading program.

So it was with my guest today, Lucas Kitchen. Lucas grew up in Kilgore Texas, attending Kilgore Bible Church, and graduated from Kilgore High School. Despite growing up in the buckle of the Bible belt, confusion about the Christian faith plagued every step of Lucas’ journey.
Lucas did find the Lord and, after high school, he attended and graduated from Letourneau University with Bachelor's of interdisciplinary studies in Bible, Psychology, and History/Political Science. He is currently the teaching pastor at Shreveport Bible Church in Shreveport, Louisiana.
In 2012 he began to write and has since published 15 books, one of which is called “Naked Grace” and we will be discussing this book today.
In NAKED GRACE, Lucas Kitchen uses wit, humor, and visual storytelling to invite you to join his life-long quest for answers. This multi-decade pursuit took Lucas to some laugh-out-loud places. When the stakes were as high as they could be, the simple answer finally came.

Help me welcome to the program, Lucas Kitchen! Lucas, thank you for taking the time to come on the program today!
First question, other than brief bit of information I just shared, tell us in your own words, “Who is Lucas Kitchen?”
Now, tell us a little about your new book, “Naked Grace.”
You talk about being confused as to “What do I need to do to be saved?” How so?

“11 Days” – A True Life Novel Mark Holloway pt 3Failed marriage. Failed business. This is something that many people around the world are facing or have faced. The current situation with forced shutdowns and lockdowns and isolation just exasperate problems that have been lingering under the surface. Now, they are rearing their ugly heads. Financial problems are often the major cause of marital problems. And with this COVID situation all across the world – no businesses open means no jobs and no income. But yet, the bills arrive like clockwork. That just leads to further problems in the home.
Well, my guest today faced something similar, except it was not COVID related. It was well before that. Mark Holloway’s life was spiralling out of control. His business failed. His wife left him. He was angry. And he was angry at God.
And when he screamed out at God, he was amazed when God spoke back! I think I would be too! Amen!
God then led him into a way to have amazing, ongoing conversations with Him. And he started to share this method of communicating with God, initially in a blog, and then in “The Freedom Diaries” – a book that has sold thousands of copies all over the world and helped untold numbers of people.
Now, Mark’s marriage has been restored – which, by the way, is what God initially told him would happen when he first cried out to God – Praise the Lord. But he is now about to publish a book titled “11 Days.”
“11 DAYS” is a novel based on a true story – Mark’s true story of how he stumbled on a conversation with God at the worst time in his life. And how that conversation lead to restoring his broken marriage and his failed business. It’s a story that has taught thousands to have their own back and forth conversations with God. As a result, marriages have been healed, drug habits busted, families restored, businesses revitalised and the Word of God has been shared around the world! Amen!
When you first started talking publicly about this concept, how were you received?
In your situation, you said that God told you that your wife would come back. But He did not make it happen immediately, right?
Did you share this information with your wife at the time? I mean, this is just me talking, I think I would be like, “Oh yeah – well, God told me that you’re coming back – so get with the program!” or something similar...
I guess that leads to the question, “Why doesn’t God just tell us the whole story instead of piecemealing it to us? Why does He make us wait and ask Him more questions?
You teach this method, in churches and conferences, etc., correct?
So initially, you were met with skepticism, but now Christians are more acceptable?

Does it take practice to hear and recognize God’s voice or answers to your questions?
If someone wanted to do this, how can they prepare for a back and forth conversation with God?
Have you ever gotten wrong?
What should someone do if they take that step of Faith they believed God was telling them to do in response to a question and they get it wrong?
Why did you decide to write “11 Days” as a novel?
Tell us about the character “Jack Kincaid…”
I love the conversations Jack has with God. For example, Jack and his friend Mick are riding their motorcycles in the mountains and Jack thinks, “I love riding with these guys.”
Then, God says, “I like riding with him too,”
“No, you don’t.”
“Says who?”
“God look, I like him, he’s my mate. But you’re not supposed to like him, he’s a medium for goodness sake…”
God say, “So what? There’s a lot of things I’m not supposed to like – uncircumcised men among them. In fact, if you read the bible more carefully you’ll discover that most versions say that if you rebel against your parents or have sex outside of marriage that I want you dead. Yes, it actually says that. You didn’t know that was in there did you? Are you suggesting that you should have been put to death years ago? There are a number of people who are convinced you’re a heretic and although they’d never admit it, they’d be happy to help put an end to your life.”
“Good grief, God, you say the craziest things.”
“Good grief yourself. What about where it says if you sin with your hands you should cut them off, I’m guessing there are a lot of one armed people in the churches you’ve been to? Or do your harsh interpretations of the bible only apply to others and not yourselves?”
“But God…”
“But nothing. You all need to stop being so religious. If you read the book a little more carefully, you’ll see that it points out that I like people so much – that’s all people, most of whom don’t even believe in me – that I came to live among them and get to know them. It says I didn’t come for religious people, I came for the unreligious ones.

Help me welcome to the program, all the way from New Zealand, Mark Holloway! Mark, thank you for coming on the program today!
First question that I always ask is this. Other than that brief bit of information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Mark Holloway?”
Now, let’s jump straight into your book. This is a novel, written around a character named Jack Kincaid. But this is all based upon your story, correct?
Ok, so let’s go at it from your point of view and you can add in additional comments as you like from the book. But I want to set the background for everything you are sharing. It all started with what was published as “The Freedom Diaries.”
And to put it in a nutshell for our conversation, your marriage is in tatters. You’re angry – and you cry out to God. What happens next? I know – before you answer, let me preface it with this – I know you cried out to God, and that you were led to start writing down your questions. But when you initially cried out, did God say, “Get a pen and paper..?” So lead us through that initial time…
You were led at a Christian camp to write down your questions? How long did it take you to realize “this is how God was going to answer me…?” COMMERCIAL
There are so many people hurting all over the world right now, for various reasons, the COVID virus is a big one right now. People losing their jobs, loved ones, etc. Would this be a way for them to draw closer to God? Just by writing their questions down?
Once you write your question down, “Ok God, why is this happening?” type of thing. How does God answer? In thoughts, in other people, how?
Folks, admit it – we have all wanted to talk with God and ask Him some questions. Now, you can read a riveting, true life story as written by Mark Holloway in his book, “11 Days.” You need to get this book. This is going to revolutionize how you view your prayer time with God. Guaranteed! Amen!

MANIFESTATIONS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT TODAY Pastor Phillip Corbett pt 2With all that is happening right now in the world, both Spiritually and in the natural, many people are wondering “What’s next?”
With the COVID lockdowns; with the attempt to keep the churches shuttered; with possible election fraud disrupting the very freedoms American’s have basically taken for granted – people are more open than ever to hear the Gospel. The “Good News” instead of all of the bad news.
One of the national leaders to take that mantle is Pastor Phillip Corbet, founding pastor of the First Assembly of God Church located in Corrigan, Texas. He has traveled the world, sharing the Gospel. He is someone who believes there is a revival about to spring forth that is going to have global impact. He believes the Church is about to experience its finest hour and the greatest harvest of souls ever!
He and his wife Rachel moved to Corrigan, Texas in 1985 to lay the groundwork for the church they were preparing to begin. They have continued to serve faithfully for over thirty-five years of service in this small community they love so well.
He has established a healthy church, effecting his small community of Corrigan, located in East Texas. His passion for the presence of God has thrust his church into seasons of extended revivals.
He believes the greatest churches are yet to be built.
He believes the most effective men of God are yet to be raised up.
He believes the most powerful ministries are yet to be birthed.
He believes there is a revival coming, that will be of global proportions.
He believes that the finest hour of the Church is just ahead.
He has been pouring himself into pastors and entire churches all over America and across the world, to prepare them for the greatest harvest of souls they have ever experienced in these last days.
When were you inspired to write your first book? “Running with Your Second Wind”
Once you published your book, what was the response?
Now, I heard Don share this, and I wanted to ask you about an angelic encounter that occurred, I think Don said in Austin, Texas at a hotel, in reference to your book. Can you share that with us?
How many books have you written?
Are they available on Amazon?
Obviously, as I shared in the opening, you have been led to travel the nation sharing the Gospel. How did the Lord lead you into this traveling aspect of ministry?
When did you first start to take your ministry to other nations?
I have heard this story and would like you to share it. It involves traveling to minister in Stockholm, Sweden?
I know COVID has shut down a lot of your travel plans. But what other nations have you conducted missionary trips in prior to the shutdown?
What do you see God doing in America right now or coming up very soon?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, maybe to ask a question, receive more information about your church or ministry, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
Folks, you have just heard, first hand, how the Lord leads, guides and directs those who are seeking Him and are Spiritually sensitive to actually being LED by the Holy Spirit. These are not just set aside for the few, like Pastor Phillip Corbett. These types of things can happen to YOU if you will seek the Lord with all your heart and put His Word first place in your life. Amen!

He believes the Church is about to experience its finest hour and the greatest harvest of souls ever! Amen!
Pastor Phil was called by God at the ripe old age of twelve years old. TWELVE! Praise God! He was helping his pastor to tear down an old abandoned church. The pastor was going to use that lumber to form a new church being built in a neighboring town. It was through that experience that the Lord called him to build his own church.
He and his wife Rachel moved to Corrigan, Texas in 1985 to lay the groundwork for the church they were preparing to begin. They have continued to serve faithfully for over thirty-five years of service in this small community they love so well.
He has established a healthy church, effecting his small community of Corrigan, located in East Texas. His passion for the presence of God has thrust his church into seasons of extended revivals.

He believes there is a revival coming, that will be of global proportions.
He believes that the finest hour of the Church is just ahead.
He has been pouring himself into pastors and entire churches all over America and across the world, to prepare them for the greatest harvest of souls they have ever experienced in these last days. His congregation believes in his calling to take this message across the United States and various parts of the world and supports his efforts to share the Gospel wherever the Lord leads him to go.
Phillip has authored several books that are available on Amazon as well.
Help me welcome to the program, Pastor Philip Corbett! Pastor, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to join us today!
The first question I always start with is this. Other than that brief bit of information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Pastor Philip Corbett?”
How did you decide to start a church in Corrigan?
How was it in the beginning? Corrigan is not a large metropolis of an area…
Was there ever a time when you thought of “giving up?” Where you felt like you were banging your head on a wall? Getting burned out?
I heard you participated in the Brownsville Revival. Is that where you received your new direction?
How many times have you been to Brownsville?
Did you believe the manifestations that occurred on Brownsville could also occur in Corrigan, Texas?
How did your church receive these things when the Holy Spirit started to disrupt the “normal” services they were used to?
Did you experience any, let’s say, adverse reactions from the locals when all of these things started happening in your church?
Were you a “best kept secret” or did word start to spread outside of your local area like it did in Brownsville?
What about the other churches in the area? Did they support you or how did they react to all of this?
Did your church members feel slighted with all of the visitors? Like they were not being fed properly?
Folks, you have just heard, first hand, how the Lord leads, guides and directs those who are seeking Him and are Spiritually sensitive to actually being LED by the Holy Spirit. These are not just set aside for the few, like Pastor Phillip Corbett. These types of things can happen to YOU if you will seek the Lord with all your heart and put His Word first place in your life.

Signs in the Heavens – Tom Donnan pt 2There is something going on right – and actually has been accelerating for the past 60 years or so, that the Bible says will usher in what is referred to as “The End Times.”
That is the fascination with space. With the study of the stars, planets, moons, asteroids, comets, etc.
Even back in ancient days, people were tracking the movement of the planets and star constellations. That is how the wise men discerned that a new king had been born among the Jews. They were watching the heavens and seen His sign.
The bible is full of scripture references about signs in the Heavens. From Genesis to Revelation. But, for the sake of time, I’m only going to quote one here today.
"And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. (Luke 21:25-26)
This is all devasting the economies of many nations, even here in the United States. The dollar is losing value almost on a daily basis.
DXY Chart, what is the value of the Dollar
https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/TVC-DXY/
It is not at its lowest rate, does show a decline. Is the money printing affecting this?
You shared something with me recently about the “Velocity of Money Chart.” What is that? Share that information with our listeners…
Velocity of Money Chart
https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M2V
Lowest on record since 1960’s. Meaning, money is not flowing through our economy. Loss of work/jobs for afraid to spend.
This is all resulting in severe shortages and troubles in families all across America. I mean, shutting down businesses, means no income. No income means a family can’t pay rent or house payments – which leads to evictions and foreclosures. Or, if the family pays the rent and house payments, then no money is there for food or necessities. This is a terrible time for some folks.

But you say to “hold on – it’s going to get worse.” You shared with me a series of dreams where the Lord showed you some things that were about to happen. Where this was going to be a time for ministries to actually expand our outreaches and to reach out to people that need to know about God.
Would you mind sharing them with our listeners?
(Tom shares his dream about “Time is up”).
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, how can they do that?
And we did not even get to discuss your books, again!
But, I’m going to put a link to all of your books down in the show notes.
Folks, Tom Donnan, once again, has just blown me away with his perspective on current events happening all around us and how it all relates to Bible Prophecy. There is absolutely no way any reasonable person can deny we are living in the last of the last days. If you have never received Jesus as your Lord and Savior, this could be your final chance.
I’m not saying Jesus is coming back in 10 minutes – but He could. I’m not saying you will never see tomorrow – but it could happen. We are not guaranteed our next breath. Someone could stop this recording and walk down the hall to get a cup of coffee and have a heart attack while doing so.
Someone could be listening to Tom Donnan right now in the car while parking at the grocery store, never to get back in their car again. So, if you have never received Jesus as your Lord or Savior, I urge you to do so right now.
Tom, would lead someone to the Throne of Grace and Mercy right now – where ever they may be?
That is all the time we have for today. If you prayed that prayer with Tom Donnan, get in touch with him. Let him know you prayed that prayer. Email me as well, at brotherbob@ftfm.org.
Go down into the show notes and get in touch with Tom Donnan. Order one or more OR ALL of his books. I’ve read everyone one of them and they are awesome.

(Luke 21:25-26)
Now, to open this discussion on signs of the Heavens and more, is our good friend Tom Donnan. Tom is back today to discuss things going on recently in mankinds quest to understand the stars, the moon, etc.
Help me welcome back to the program, our good friend, Tom Donnan! Tom, thank you for coming back on the program today!
Ok, let’s start with this one. We will talk about the Moon. 240,000 miles, give or take, from earth. We first went to the moon 51 years ago. That fulfilled President Kennedy’s goal of “landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth.” But, even after the Apollo space program ended, we never really finished with the exploration of the moon. I think I seen somewhere there are, at this time, something like 18 different nations trying to return to the moon. Have you seen anything about that?

Catalyst Coaching Russell De Vos pt 2In society today, we often find ourselves being pulled in so many different directions, we don’t really know which way is the right way. We tend to put our attention on the things screaming at us the loudest. Using the old adage of “the squeaky wheel gets the oil.”
If that sounds like you… if you keep telling yourself that you need to prioritize better. If you know, deep down on the inside, that you are letting your relationship with God slip… If you are feeling sense of guilt or regret because you are so busy and tired all of the time and the most precious things in life, your family and your relationship with God, is being put on the back burner… if any of this sounds even remotely familiar…then you will want to pay attention today!
My guest today has experienced the highs and the lows of success. To coin the old phrase from “Wide World of Sports” (which many younger people have never heard of) which says the “Thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.” My guest today has taken that ride.
Russell De Vos was a pastor of a great and thriving church in Bend. Oregon. Starting with just a handful of people, it quickly grew into 1500 people in just three years-time. Praise God! But, with that “thrill of victory” soon came the “agony of defeat.”
Distracted by the ever increasing pressures of success, he soon succumbed to the inevitable defeat. Not focusing on God, not focusing on his family, he ended up losing the church and he almost lost his family. But that was not the end of the story…
Out of that experience, he now helps other men who struggle through the same things he did. Today, he and his wife, Heather, enjoy each other more than ever. They are serving together and helping others who are going the struggles they had to endure. He is a Certified Life Coach, Teacher and Speaker with both the John Maxwell Team and the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching and is the founder of “The Catalyst Coaching” program.
Do these things just “happen” or is there a pattern of events, a pattern of habits that start someone down the path towards a fall or a failure?
Share with us some of the ways someone can protect themselves from these types of mindsets or patterns that will trip them up?
What you are saying is that, after failing…after a huge fall, a huge failing in life, in marriage and, in your case, in ministry and before God, there is hope. There is a way to get back up in life. Can you walk us through some of those steps?
In your coaching program, how do you minister these precepts to other men who may have already fallen and are grasping at straws right now, hoping – PRAYING – for a way back?
What Words of encouragement can you share with someone listening to us, right now, who may be experiencing some of the things you have shared with us today?
Russell, this all sounds so fascinating. As we talked off the air before, I can relate to just about everything you have shared with us. I am still, to this day, astounded that God can take a “mess and turn it into a message” of Hope that can only come through Him.
If someone wanted to reach out to you, to get more information on “The Catalyst Coaching Program” or to ask you a question or maybe to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
Folks, the Bible is very clear in Romans 3:23, “All of sinned and come short of the Glory of God.” Although pastors are and should be held to a higher standard, remember, we are all humans and have the ability to make wrong decisions, too. Just like the average person out there.
George Patton once said it is not “How high a man goes that determines his success. But how high bounces after taking a fall.”
If you are struggling with some of the things that Russell and I have discussed today – or other things for that matter as we have really only brushed the surface here – you need to reach out to Russell De Vos right now, today.
