The Joe Rooz Show

Tonight I sat down with author and coach Rich Lewis to explore centering prayer—the simple, countercultural practice of sitting in silence with God. We dug into what centering prayer is, how it differs from other silent prayer methods, and why men especially tend to run from silence even though it can be the key to clarity, discipline, and discovering your true self. Rich shared the practical “how-to” (sacred word, image, breath, or glance), why he practices twice a day, and the surprising ways silence spills over into daily life with more calm, focus, and courage. We also talked journaling as a tool for discernment, working through spiritual “dry spells,” and how small, consistent doses of silence can help peel back limiting beliefs and reveal the person God is calling you to become.Resources mentioned: Rich’s book “Sitting with God,” the Contemplative Outreach community, Amos Smith’s work, and Cynthia Bourgeault’s writings on centering prayer.

Tonight I’m joined by USA TODAY bestselling author Ann Charles for a lively, no‑BS conversation about building a career in mystery fiction that blends suspense, laugh‑out‑loud humor, and a dash of paranormal mayhem. We dig into how Ann found her voice after early false starts in romance, why she chose to go indie when a Big Five deal fell through, and how ebooks and timing helped her break out—right up to the surprise moment she discovered she’d already hit the USA TODAY list. Ann shares the real talk on marketing in 2026 (it changes monthly), balancing grit and spice without losing tension, and writing long‑running series that make readers want to visit the real‑world settings—like Deadwood, South Dakota.We also get into co‑writing her Old West Undertaker series with her husband, reader events vs. writer conferences, handling reviews, and the power of perseverance while life is life‑ing. If you love rowdy, character‑driven mysteries with supernatural streaks, this one’s for you.We close with what Ann’s writing now—from the next Deadwood Undertaker installment to a new Jackrabbit Junction caper—plus practical advice for aspiring authors: start writing the story that won’t leave you alone, learn the marketing game, and keep going.Guest: Ann Charleshttps://anncharles.comWatch https://Rumble.com/JoeRooz https://YouTube.com/@JoeRooz Watch and Followhttps://Rumble.com/JoeRoozhttps://YouTube.com/@JoeRoozFOLLOW US ON:X: https://x.com/joeroozFacebook: https://facebook.com/joeroozshowMinds: https://minds.com/joeroozGETTR: https://gettr.com/joeroozSpecial thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Marisa LeeExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?

In this Sunday Bible Study episode, I kick off a new series on the Book of Revelation—building on our recently completed 18‑week dispensations study. I lay the groundwork with key terms and positions we’ll use throughout, including Babylon, dispensationalism, premillennialism, and pre‑tribulationism, and why a literal reading of Revelation matters. We explore common objections to Revelation, the significance of its dating, and how Scripture interprets Scripture by connecting Joel 2 with Revelation 6. I outline the structure of the book—from the glorified Christ in chapter 1, the seven churches in chapters 2–3, the rapture picture in chapter 4, through the tribulation cycles to chapter 19, and the 1,000‑year reign in chapter 20—emphasizing God’s shift from grace to wrath in this period. I also encourage listeners to track prophetic developments in Israel and the Middle East as we prepare to walk chapter‑by‑chapter through this grand book in the weeks ahead.Resources mentioned: Revelation 1–3, 6–7, 19–20; Joel 2:28–32; references to prior series on dispensations and spiritual warfare; encouragement to read and note cross‑references during personal study. Join us next week as we dive into Revelation chapter 1 and the vision of the glorified Christ.Watch live:https://Rumble.com/JoeRoozhttps://YouTube.com/@JoeRooz Watch and Followhttps://Rumble.com/JoeRoozhttps://YouTube.com/@JoeRoozFOLLOW US ON:X: https://x.com/joeroozFacebook: https://facebook.com/joeroozshowMinds: https://minds.com/joeroozGETTR: https://gettr.com/joeroozSpecial thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Marisa LeeExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?

In this crypto edition of the show I welcome back our resident “crypto psychic” Marisa Lee for a fast-moving live conversation that ranges from market dips to Valentine’s quips.We recap her recent appearance, talk live-show bloopers, and dive into why she’s still bullish on Algorand despite the downturn, her latest dream-driven insights on XRP adoption, and how regulatory clarity from the CFTC’s new innovation advisory committee could shape the next phase for blockchain and AI. We also touch on creator tipping in Bitcoin, tokenization trends like Ondo Finance and fractional real estate, and field listener questions about XRP’s long-term price potential—all while keeping perspective on patience, risk, and the importance of not doom-scrolling your portfolio.Marisa shares her intuitive insights into the disturbing Nancy Guthrie kidnapping case, offering a sobering prediction based on her tarot analysis and personal intuition. The discussion explores the emotional and energetic aspects of the case, as well as the growing public fascination with psychic investigation.The episode also dives into the explosive rumors surrounding Jeffrey Epstein and the origins of Bitcoin. Joe and Marisa examine the speculation about whether Epstein—or individuals connected to powerful financial networks—may have had involvement in Bitcoin’s early development, while separating rumor from realistic technological and financial realities.Beyond charts, we trade thoughts on life balance, weight-loss journeys, and the Valentine’s Day hype, before wrapping with where to find Marisa’s monthly crypto forecasts and how you can connect with the show. It’s spirited, unfiltered, and packed with takeaways for both seasoned crypto holders and the crypto‑curious.Crypto Psychic Marisa Leehttps://sacredtarotcardreadings.comhttps://patreon.com/cryptopsychic Watch and Followhttps://Rumble.com/JoeRoozhttps://YouTube.com/@JoeRoozFOLLOW US ON:X: https://x.com/joeroozFacebook: https://facebook.com/joeroozshowMinds: https://minds.com/joeroozGETTR: https://gettr.com/joeroozSpecial thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Marisa LeeExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?

Tonight I sat down with Pat Daily—engineer, Air Force test pilot, NASA alum, entrepreneur, and author of the Spark Chronicles—to dive into near‑future sci‑fi, augmented reality, AI optimism, and the high‑risk thrills of test flying. Pat shared how a simple walk playing Pokémon GO sparked the idea for an AR-driven theme park powered by advanced solar tech, which became the backbone of his award-winning series. We explored character dynamics, believable tech, and geopolitics woven through Spark, Fire, Orkland, and Embers, plus what he’d fight to keep if Hollywood comes calling. Pat also opened up about career pivots from military aviation to industry and startups, the sobering realities of NASA bureaucracy, and why private space is accelerating what government slowed. We closed with faith, his nonfiction work on Lent (“Drunk Every Sunday”), and what’s next—think Stranger Things meets Cocoon—along with a candid, fun rapid-fire on AI fears, fandom, and favorite straight-talker in D.C. If you’re into hard sci‑fi grounded in real tech, AR world‑building, and human stories that carry optimism (and a few fireballs), this one’s for you.Guest: Pat Dailyhttps://thepatdaily.com Watch and Followhttps://Rumble.com/JoeRoozhttps://YouTube.com/@JoeRoozFOLLOW US ON:X: https://x.com/joeroozFacebook: https://facebook.com/joeroozshowMinds: https://minds.com/joeroozGETTR: https://gettr.com/joeroozSpecial thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Marisa LeeExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?

In tonight’s live broadcast from Asylum Studios in Eagle Pass, I sat down with “Mr. W,” a veteran high-mountain hunter and former Forest Service firefighter with over 45 years of backcountry experience, to recount a chilling nighttime encounter he believes involved Sasquatch in the Pacific Northwest. We walked through his precise timeline: the abrupt silence of the forest, a rancid odor on the air, low-frequency grumbles, and the moment two elevated, illuminated eyes appeared from behind dense brush—at a height he insists ruled out bear or elk. By morning, he noted disturbed ground, snapped branches, and ambiguous prints. While we can’t independently verify his claims, Mr. W detailed past work with wildlife officials, the “monitor only” response he says followed his report, and why he believes the government prefers silence over certainty. Beyond the encounter, Mr. W shared how decades alone in the wild sharpened his senses and shaped his respect for the land—and why he thinks patience, calm, and caution are essential in the backcountry.Whether you land on undiscovered primate, misidentified wildlife, or something stranger, the conversation underscored a simple truth: the world stays interesting when we keep asking questions. If you’re heading into the woods—go in groups, carry a reliable light, and remember: maybe don’t make eye contact.

In this episode, I welcome the unapologetically direct host and author Brandon LaNette for a powerful conversation about responsibility, faith, and growth. We dig into her remarkable life story—from emancipation at 15 and years of rejection as a writer to publishing multiple books and ultimately burning down a lucrative coaching business when God called her out of New Age practices and into a bold, Christ-centered life. Together, we explore why your past may explain you but doesn’t define you, the necessity of personal accountability, and how faith that transforms demands action. We also get practical on neuroplasticity, breaking avoidance cycles, guarding your testimony, and choosing discipline over excuses—plus why Christians must speak up with spiritual boldness in a culture that rewards softness and victimhood.Brandon shares how daily time in Scripture reshaped her heart, how to move forward without dwelling on mistakes, and why serving God first clarifies every next step. If you’ve felt stuck, silenced, or waiting to be rescued, this episode is a wake-up call to step into your God-given potential and do the next scary, obedient thing—boldly. Guest: Branden LaNettehttps://brandenlanette.com/  Watch and Followhttps://Rumble.com/JoeRoozhttps://YouTube.com/@JoeRoozFOLLOW US ON:X: https://x.com/joeroozFacebook: https://facebook.com/joeroozshowMinds: https://minds.com/joeroozGETTR: https://gettr.com/joeroozSpecial thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Marisa LeeExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?

In this wide-ranging, spirited conversation, I welcome ordained minister and Kingdom Crossroads host TS Wright for a deep dive into discipleship, church history, and living out authentic biblical faith today. We swap testimonies, talk through the joy and grit of ministry, and explore practical rhythms for a God-centered life—from personal time in the Word and prayer, to real accountability, corporate worship, and intentional rest.  TS shares insights from decades in ministry, his Campus Crusade formation, powerful moments of healing, and his upcoming discipleship book series. We also dig into Philippians’ portrait of mature believers, the Laodicean church and its relevance to our age, and how believers can stay faithful without getting trapped by cultural drift or petty doctrinal squabbles.

In this Bible Study Sunday episode, I wrap up our 18-part series on dispensational truth with a deep dive into Eternity—what comes after the Millennium, the renovation of the earth by fire, the New Heavens and New Earth, and the New Jerusalem prepared as the Lamb’s bride’s home. We explore key passages in Revelation 20–22, 2 Peter 3, Isaiah 66, Daniel 7, Galatians 4, and more, clarifying common confusions between millennial prophecies and eternal states.From the Great White Throne judgment to the saints reigning forever, we consider how God’s plan comes full circle—from Genesis to Revelation—and what it means for believers to dwell in the New Jerusalem and serve the Lord in everlasting joy.I also share practical reflections on obedience, judgment, and the hope we have in Christ—why trusting Jesus now matters, the difference between being judged by our works versus Christ’s finished work, and the breathtaking promise that eye has not seen what God has prepared for those who love Him. Plus, I preview our next series: a chapter-by-chapter walk through the Book of Revelation.If today’s study helped or you came to faith through this series, reach out—I’d love to hear from you and pray for you.  Watch and Followhttps://Rumble.com/JoeRoozhttps://YouTube.com/@JoeRoozFOLLOW US ON:X: https://x.com/joeroozFacebook: https://facebook.com/joeroozshowMinds: https://minds.com/joeroozGETTR: https://gettr.com/joeroozSpecial thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Marisa LeeExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?

In this episode, I pivot from a last‑minute guest cancellation to share, in full and without interruption, a Texit Accelerator session I participated in on 01/27/2026. From my perch in Eagle Pass, I frame why government overreach remains a systemic problem regardless of who occupies the White House, and why Texans should understand the mechanics behind expanding federal power.We dig into border security realities, the limits of executive orders, Supremacy Clause clashes, why rollback rarely sticks, and how an independent Texas could manage revenue without income taxes—leveraging trade, tariffs, natural resources, and leaner, closer-to-home governance. We also hit on taxation (and property taxes) as moral and structural failures, accountability through proximity, and concrete ways Texans can get active locally—campaigning, endorsing, and even running for office. I close with reflections on the Texas Nationalist Movement community, upcoming conversations, and an invitation to keep learning, sharing, and staying engaged—because informed citizens are harder to manipulate, and serious issues deserve more than sound bites.Resources mentioned: Texas Nationalist Movement (tnm.org, tnm.me), TNM Rumble channel (@TexasNatMov), my show on Rumble (@JoeRooz), taketexasback.com for pro–Texas First candidates, and contact info at joerooz.com. Replayed with permission of the Texas Nationalist Movementhttps://tnm.org  Watch and Followhttps://Rumble.com/JoeRoozhttps://YouTube.com/@JoeRoozFOLLOW US ON:X: https://x.com/joeroozFacebook: https://facebook.com/joeroozshowMinds: https://minds.com/joeroozGETTR: https://gettr.com/joeroozSpecial thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Marisa LeeExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?

Tonight I broadcast live from Eagle Pass with veteran publicist and podcaster Bruce Wawrzyniak (Now Hear This Inc.; host of Now Hear This Entertainment and Catholic Sports Radio). We swap hard‑earned lessons from thousands of episodes: building a long‑running show, establishing your on‑mic identity, booking and preparing guests, handling no‑shows, choosing audio‑only vs. video, and why sound quality and consistency are a host’s unbreakable contract with listeners.Bruce shares how faith informs his work, the origin of his weekly “ministry moment,” landing marquee interviews (Mark Wahlberg, Mario Lopez, Lou Holtz, Mario Andretti), and practical guerrilla promotion tactics that actually work.We also talk live vs. recorded workflows, transparency about costs, and where podcasting is headed as shows move onto big streaming stages—all delivered in a laid‑back, two‑friends‑talking vibe that podcasters and fans will appreciate.Stick around for insights on guest etiquette, show structure that highlights credibility before the pitch, and how perseverance (and a few acoustic panels) can carry a creator through years of weekly releases.Guest:Bruce Wawrzyniakhttps://www.now-hear-this.net/content/podcast Watch and Followhttps://Rumble.com/JoeRoozhttps://YouTube.com/@JoeRoozFOLLOW US ON:X: https://x.com/joeroozFacebook: https://facebook.com/joeroozshowMinds: https://minds.com/joeroozGETTR: https://gettr.com/joeroozSpecial thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Marisa LeeExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?

Broadcasting live from the Asylum in Eagle Pass, I kick things off with an update about last night’s no‑show guest, the realities of running a live program, and a quick celebration of our new studio mic emblem finally arriving after a postal detour. Then we dive into a warm, wide‑ranging conversation with author and podcast host Kim Lengling. We cover her path from delivering a moving speech about her World War I veteran grandfather to writing a 14‑year veterans newspaper column, powerful interviews with WWII and Vietnam vets, and how those stories shaped her voice. Kim opens up about living with PTSD, why she built a “toolbox” for resilience, and how animals—especially her dogs Digger and Dexter—teach patience, presence, and kindness.We swap heartfelt and funny pet stories (yes, Frenchie antics and midnight bird rescues), talk live vs. recorded podcasting, authenticity on mic and camera, and choosing hope over doom‑scrolling. Kim also shares the heart behind her book “15 Ways Pets Teach Us Kindness,” her show “Let Fear Bounce,” and why simple acts of kindness always matter.

In this week’s Bible Study Sunday, I guide you through a rich, big-picture look at the Millennium—the 1,000-year reign of Christ—as part 17 in our Dispensational Truth series. We explore the “day of regeneration,” why Scripture frames history in sevens and eights, and how the Millennium functions as the earth’s Sabbath rest with peace, justice, and a transformed creation.I walk through the government of the Kingdom (Christ ruling from Jerusalem with a rod of iron), who inhabits it (church-age saints, converted Israel, and Tribulation survivors), what millennial worship looks like (restored temple worship and national atonement), and how salvation operates in that age. We also consider the end-of-Millennium rebellion, and the profound joy of serving the King in glorified bodies, ruling and reigning in perfect justice and peace.Drawing from passages across Revelation, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Zechariah, Matthew, and more, we connect prophetic dots: the judgment of the nations, restored creation, unified language, global prosperity, and the practical implications of reigning with Christ. I close by previewing next week’s finale on Eternity and our upcoming series through Revelation, inviting you to reflect on living faithfully now in light of the Kingdom to come.

Live from the Asylum, in Eagle Pass, I sat down with our resident crypto psychic, Marisa Lee, for a fast, funny, and wide‑ranging crypto check‑in.We dug into why tokenized equities and 24/7 settlement could be a turning point for retail and institutions alike, what chains might see the first wave of adoption (Ethereum, Solana, BNB, Polygon, Ondo—and why Algorand could surprise), and why clear legislation is the final unlock for real capital inflows.We also touched on the current lull, why buying red days requires patience, and how to protect gains during sharp run‑ups.From stablecoins to precious metals, we talked Tether’s gold buys, volatility in silver, and how macro shifts (rate policy, market structure, and leadership changes) may ripple through 2026.Marisa shared specific outlooks—her high‑end XRP scenario and a longer‑arc view on Solana and Algorand—along with practical reminders: buy low, scale in, don’t panic‑sell, and remember this is not financial advice.We closed with her spiritual perspective on staying grounded amid headlines, plus where to find her monthly crypto report and readings.Guest:Crypto Psychic Marisa Leehttps://sacredtarotcardreadings.comhttps://patreon.com/cryptopsychic'The Joe Rooz Show' on Rumble: https://rumble.com/JoeRoozThe Joe Rooz Show (official site): https://www.joerooz.comMarisa (Marissa) Lee – Sacred Tarot Card Readings (guest site): https://www.sacredtarotcardreadings.comMarisa Lee on Patreon – Crypto Psychic: https://www.patreon.com/cryptopsychicNew York Stock Exchange (NYSE): https://www.nyse.comEthereum (official): https://ethereum.orgSolana (official): https://solana.comBNB Chain (official): https://www.bnbchain.org/enPolygon (official): https://polygon.technologyOndo Finance (official): https://ondo.financeAlgorand (official): https://www.algorand.comRipple – XRP overview: https://ripple.com/xrp/Tether (USDT issuer): https://tether.toWorld Liberty Financial (WLFI / USD1): https://worldlibertyfinancial.comBrad Garlinghouse – Ripple leadership: https://ripple.com/company/leadership/Staci (Stacey) Warden – Algorand Foundation announcement: https://algorand.co/news/staci-warden-ceoFederal Reserve Board – Jerome Powell bio: https://www.federalreserve.gov/aboutthefed/bios/board/powell.htmU.S. Senator Dick Durbin (official): https://www.durbin.senate.govCalifornia Governor Gavin Newsom (official): https://www.gov.ca.govU.S. Rep.

In this episode, I welcome back Dr. Don Weber—communication strategist, executive coach, and founder of Dr. Weber Coaching—for a spirited, wide-ranging conversation on influence, persuasion, and how communication shapes power from boardrooms to geopolitics. We dive into political leadership styles, media narratives, information warfare, and the mechanics of propaganda, using recent events in Venezuela and unfolding unrest in Minnesota as real-time case studies. Don shares first-hand regional insights, explores how strategic messaging, suppression, and perception-shaping operate, and unpacks the global stakes around energy, security, and great-power competition.We also discuss polarization at home, the lure of professionalized protests, and how disinformation fuels division—while reflecting on the timeless “golden rule” as a compass for public life and leadership. We close with Don’s current projects, his upcoming Europe trip, and resources for listeners who want to sharpen their own communication and leadership edge.Catch the show live weeknights at 7 PM CT/8 PM ET and join the conversation by liking, subscribing, and sharing.

Tonight from the Asylum Studios in Eagle Pass, Texas, I sat down with Daniel Gray—author of The Men From the Medium—to unpack his journey from January 6 defendant facing decades in federal prison to a man transformed by faith, accountability, and the discipline of writing. Daniel shared how he handwrote his memoir while incarcerated, processed identity collapse, loss, and public scrutiny, and found peace through seeking the Lord, embracing responsibility, and choosing a quieter, purpose-driven life. We discussed grace through accountability, why he views prison as a redemptive season, what it means to put away anger, and how prayer and patience shaped an unexpected presidential pardon and a new path as an author and speaker.We also explored how revisiting painful memories refined his message, why rock bottom can be a reset, the difference between strength and performative toughness, and the pitfalls of letting politics consume your soul. Daniel offered encouragement to anyone at their lowest point: honesty, mindset change, and one courageous action can begin a new story. Connect with Daniel at DanielPaulGray.com or on Facebook at Daniel Gray, Author.

In this episode, I broadcast live from the Asylum Studios in Eagle Pass, Texas, and welcome award-winning author and former AP journalist Frank S. Joseph. We trade icebreakers—from dream coffee chats with biblical figures to a simple billboard plea to “be kind”—then dive into Frank’s Chicago roots, his grandfather’s South Side theater, the city’s rigid mid-century segregation, and how those lived experiences shaped his acclaimed Chicago trilogy: To Love Mercy, To Walk Humbly, and To Do Justice.Frank recounts formative years covering civil unrest for the Associated Press, including the Detroit riot, and how those frontline moments evolved into moral historical fiction exploring race, community, conflict, and forgiveness. We also touch on his journalism-to-publishing journey, the craft behind writing multiple first-person voices, and where readers can find his books and website.Housekeeping includes our packed run of live shows and a note to connect with us via joerooz.com. We also preview Frank’s planned return for a deeper dive into the novels. If you’re into Chicago history, newsroom chaos, and character-driven stories that wrestle with America’s past and present, this conversation will hook you.Guest:Frank S.

Tonight I sat down with Alexander Dunlop, a Harvard-trained philosopher, former Wall Street consultant, and author of Play Your Cards Right, to explore the Source Cards—the idea that a standard deck of playing cards forms a symbolic “book of life” reflecting our patterns, purpose, and evolution. Alexander shared how the 52-card deck mirrors the solar year, why he believes the cards preserve an ancient, sacred system of intelligent design, and how he uses the cards for practical coaching that helps people align their choices with who they are.We unpacked my own cards (King of Hearts with a Four of Clubs personality), discussed relationship dynamics revealed by the system, and talked through real-world transformations that happen when people “play their cards right.” Alexander also offered simple steps to get started, resources to go deeper, and how this work can complement other modalities like numerology or astrology while remaining its own foundational framework.Resources: theSourceCards.com (free card lookup, classes, readings, book, and Source Cards deck); Play Your Cards Right by Alexander Dunlop.

In this powerful installment of our Dispensational Truth  series, Joe examines what the Bible reveals about the first half of the Tribulation, Daniel’s 70th Week, and the events that follow the Rapture of the Church. This episode walks through Revelation’s first four seals—the rise of the Antichrist as a global peacemaker, the outbreak of worldwide war, devastating famine and inflation, and mass death affecting one-quarter of the world’s population.Joe also explains the Antichrist’s covenant with Israel, his betrayal at the midpoint of the Tribulation, Satan’s incarnation through him, and the rise of the False Prophet who enforces worship and the Mark of the Beast.If you want a clearer understanding of Bible prophecy, end-times timelines, the Rapture, the Tribulation, and the future Millennial Kingdom, this teaching will help you rightly divide the word of truth and recognize the season we’re living in.

In this Saturday crypto edition, I’m joined by our resident “crypto psychic” Marisa Lee for a wide-ranging, no‑BS conversation on the state of crypto, policy, and power. We dig into Davos developments, BlackRock’s push on options for crypto ETFs and what that could mean for market manipulation, and why patience—not panic—wins in volatile cycles. Marisa breaks down the Clarity Act, why banks are trying to stall it, and the timeline she’s seeing for passage and the next big market moves. We also hit on global crypto adoption (Ghana, South Korea, India), the role of prayer and discernment in chaotic times, hedging with physical gold and silver, and practical strategies for cold storage and managing multiple exchanges. Plus, we talk Algorand’s long game, upcoming IPOs to watch (Kraken, Ledger), and why 2026 could mint a new class of crypto millionaires if you can sit tight and stay focused.We keep it real on politics and policy without losing sight of everyday tactics: protecting your assets, finding signal amid the noise, and investing in your own resilience—spiritually and financially. If you’re navigating the highs, lows, and head-fakes of this market, this one’s for you.Guest:Crypto Psychic Marisa Leehttps://sacredtarotcardreadings.comhttps://patreon.com/cryptopsychic Watch live and replays: Rumble.com/JoeRooz YouTube.com/@JoeRooz Watch and Followhttps://Rumble.com/JoeRoozhttps://YouTube.com/@JoeRoozFOLLOW US ON:X: https://x.com/joeroozFacebook: https://facebook.com/joeroozshowMinds: https://minds.com/joeroozGETTR: https://gettr.com/joeroozSpecial thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Marisa LeeExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?

Tonight I welcomed artist and author Rick Sorenson to explore creativity as both craft and spiritual practice. We talked about his upbringing as a pastor’s kid, how the church shaped (and sometimes restricted) artistic expression, and why creativity is part of God’s image in us.Rick unpacked practical ways to evaluate art—separating the idea from its execution—and shared how original ideas fit within a biblical view of creativity. We also dove into worship: the balance between reverence and expression, the role of the worship leader, and David’s temple pattern of thanksgiving, praise, sacrifice, and holiness. Rick introduced his book, Art: The Church’s Response, discussed myths that keep people from creating, and previewed his writing on Substack and future projects on the nature of art and beauty.Housekeeping: Live weeknights 7 PM CT (8 PM ET).

In this lively Wednesday night broadcast from Eagle Pass, I catch up with our executive producer, Wayne Rankin, who jumps in as a last‑minute guest after a scheduling change.We riff on cold snaps in Texas versus true winter up north, Wayne’s life in the Pacific Northwest, and the ripple effects of Washington State’s surging taxes—from fuel and licenses to "sin" goods—pushing everyday folks and businesses across state lines. Wayne opens up about his recent car accident, a grueling shoulder injury and recovery, scaling back farm chores, and planning a massive garden, with his trademark humor intact. We veer into national headlines, accountability in government, and the cultural chill around comedy, as Wayne teases a return to stand‑up with material on tech, health, and the lost art of conversation. We wrap on resilience, faith, and a few Bigfoot chuckles—plus Wayne’s plan to visit the studio soon for an in‑person show. Executive producer shout‑outs close the night, along with a reminder to connect with us at joerooz.com to share your thoughts and support the show. Friday, we’re back with guest Rick Sorensen.

Tonight I sat down with publishing veteran Terry Whalin to bust the biggest myths holding writers back. From his journey—spanning 60+ books, roles as literary agent and acquisitions editor, and early magazine roots—to the pivotal moment he took 100% responsibility for his author platform, Terry shared practical, no-fluff advice.We dug into why magazines can supercharge reach, how platform and consistency trump luck, and why publishers won’t be your marketing department. Terry unpacked the “rule of five,” the power of newsletters and LinkedIn, smart library sales strategies, and how to approach rejection with a single word: “Next.” We also explored his book, 10 Publishing Myths, including the bonus “eleventh myth” about mailing your book to Oprah—and what to do instead. If you’re an aspiring or seasoned author, this conversation is a masterclass in realistic expectations and actionable steps to move your writing career forward.Resources mentioned include Terry’s blog, newsletter, and special offer site for his book, along with tips for conferences, platform building, and making magazines your strategic starting point. We also touched on AI’s role (useful for research, risky for creativity) and why traditional publishing will remain—but with higher expectations for author-led marketing.http://publishingoffer.com/ Watch and Followhttps://Rumble.com/JoeRoozhttps://YouTube.com/@JoeRoozFOLLOW US ON:X: https://x.com/joeroozFacebook: https://facebook.com/joeroozshowMinds: https://minds.com/joeroozGETTR: https://gettr.com/joeroozSpecial thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Marisa LeeExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?

In this episode, I chat with Shanti Hershenson, a young adult author who began publishing in sixth grade and now has 22 books under her belt. We dig into her disciplined daily writing habit of 1,000 words, how she balances school, social life, and a burgeoning career, and why she self-publishes while running her own marketing across platforms—especially TikTok—to reach teen readers directly.Shanti opens up about vulnerability in her work, anti-bullying advocacy, and crafting stories that weave social commentary with genre fiction, from sci-fi dystopian epics to contemporary novels-in-verse. We spotlight her latest release, Good Kids, Bad Choices, and revisit You Won’t Know Her Name, exploring how personal experiences can power honest storytelling that helps readers feel less alone.We also cover her creative process (first drafts, stepping away, and editing cycles), genre flexibility, handling criticism (including age-related doubts and AI questions), and the authors and inspirations fueling her next projects—from medieval portal fantasy with a talking cat to survival-centered contemporary fiction. Stick around for practical advice for aspiring young writers, how to build momentum, and Shanti’s hopes for a legacy that connects readers the way great fandoms do. Check out Shanti's socialshttps://www.instagram.com/shantihershenson/?hl=en https://www.tiktok.com/@shantiwhowrites?  Watch and Followhttps://Rumble.com/JoeRoozhttps://YouTube.com/@JoeRoozFOLLOW US ON:X: https://x.com/joeroozFacebook: https://facebook.com/joeroozshowMinds: https://minds.com/joeroozGETTR: https://gettr.com/joeroozSpecial thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Marisa LeeExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?

In this Sunday Bible Study, we explore The Church Age (Dispensational Truth – Part 14) and uncover what makes this era unique in God’s redemptive plan. Why did Israel lose the offered kingdom? What does it mean to be born again? Why is salvation by grace through faith central to the New Testament—and how does it differ from every previous dispensation?You’ll learn about the mystery of the Body of Christ, the believer’s eternal security, and how God temporarily set Israel aside while calling out a Gentile church. We also examine how Satan has counterfeited biblical truth throughout history—introducing ritualism, sacramental systems, allegory, and false authority structures to imitate God’s work.This episode walks through the seven church ages of Revelation, the fading of apostolic signs, and why today’s believers are called to live by faith, not sight. If you’ve ever wondered what makes the Church Age different—or why it matters—this study will give you clarity, confidence, and biblical insight.

In tonight’s live show from the Asylum Studios in Eagle Pass, I sat down with Guy Morris—retired Fortune 500 tech and energy leader turned award‑winning thriller author and AI commentator. We dug into his fascinating career arc from IBM and Microsoft to songwriting for Disney, Coast Guard captain adventures, and the research journeys that power his novels. Guy shared the true story that inspired his fictional AI character “Sylvia” (an NSA lab escapee), his brush with the FBI, and how he weaves real-world tech, geopolitics, ancient history, and biblical prophecy into page‑turners like Swarm, The Last Arc, The Curse of Cortez, and The Image. We explored concrete AI risks—emergent behavior, deception, value misalignment, and weaponization—alongside quantum computing, black holes, and the Shroud of Turin’s historical trail. Guy unpacked his “prophecy analytics” framework and how his books balance high-stakes realism with humor and heart. We also got the backstory on The Curse of Cortez, Henry Morgan’s lost treasure mystery, and the adventurous research (including jungle temples, shamans, and a cartel run‑in) that brought it to life. If you like techno‑thrillers with big ideas and real research, you’ll want to check out Guy’s work.

Tonight on the Joe Rooz Show, I welcomed Ian Reilly—our tongue‑in‑cheek “man from the future”—an Australian engineer turned entrepreneur and author whose life has spanned sheep-farm ingenuity, teaching in Samoa, weathering two cyclones, and building then exiting a pioneering ag-tech startup. We dug into how growing up resourceful shaped his problem-solving, why uncertainty is a crucible for courage, and the ethical tightrope of startup leadership. Ian shared gripping stories from his memoir, Encounter, including the raw realities of village life in Samoa, the transformative power of faith under pressure, and how honest storytelling can transcend political correctness. We also explored entrepreneurial risk, leading teams on the brink, and using art as a vehicle for the gospel. If you’re curious about resilient leadership, cross‑cultural lessons that actually stick, and a first‑hand look at faith meeting chaos, this conversation delivers. Resources and links mentioned: Ian’s website: ianreilly.com.au (signed copies of Encounter available) • Encounter (book): Available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble• Follow Ian’s ongoing work in mentoring entrepreneurs, faith‑driven art, and speaking engagements via his website. For show feedback or guest suggestions: joerooz.com or email [email protected].

In this lively two-guest episode, I kick things off with a personal weekend misadventure—let’s just say a ceiling fan, a ladder, and zero sleep don’t mix—before we dive into a candid, eye-opening conversation with Canadian YA author and longtime teacher Tara Hodgson. We unpack the pressures teens face in a tech-obsessed world: Snap Map risks, cyberbullying that never sleeps, mental health struggles, and how parents can turn tough topics into real talk using Tara’s novels Chasing Through Time and At Least I’m Trying as conversation starters. Tara shares how her classroom experiences shaped her fiction, why price-of-perfection social feeds mislead kids and adults alike, and why teaching digital literacy needs to move from buzzword to curriculum, fast.In hour two, trader and Blueprint founder Josh Fuhr joins to demystify markets for everyday investors. We cover why price is your protection, the trap of “death by diversification,” and how to transition from broad index funds into smarter swing trades using high-timeframe support and simple trend breaks. Josh breaks down themes he’s watching in 2026—defensive healthcare, oil and gas, select software, treasuries—and cautions against chasing overheated names. He explains how to manage risk without rigid stop-losses, why avoiding FOMO matters, and offers accessible ways to start (think Robinhood, learn the cycles, buy low/sell high). Practical, no-hype insights you can act on—minus the jargon.Follow Josh's community:Community signup link: Whop.com/bisonblueprint Code: Pocast50  Social Media Handles: Bison.Blueprint  Watch and Followhttps://Rumble.com/JoeRoozhttps://YouTube.com/@JoeRoozFOLLOW US ON:X: https://x.com/joeroozFacebook: https://facebook.com/joeroozshowMinds: https://minds.com/joeroozGETTR: https://gettr.com/joeroozSpecial thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Marisa LeeExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?

In this episode of our Dispensational Truth series, we explore one of the most misunderstood subjects in Christianity: the difference between the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God—and why failing to distinguish them creates massive doctrinal confusion.We examine how Jesus and John the Baptist preached the gospel of the kingdom, calling Israel to national repentance so they could receive their promised earthly kingdom. This helps explain why the Sermon on the Mount, apostolic miracles, and kingdom commands don’t always line up with how believers live today.This lesson also explains why miraculous signs—healings, casting out demons, raising the dead—were never meant to be permanent fixtures of the church age. Instead, they served as divine credentials to authenticate the King and His kingdom offer to Israel. As Israel rejected Christ and the message shifted to the Gentiles, those signs faded—exactly as Scripture records in the book of Acts.We also uncover why these signs will return during the Tribulation, when God resumes His direct dealings with Israel and the gospel of the kingdom is once again preached worldwide.If you’ve ever wondered:Why there are different gospels in ScriptureWhy Jesus preached repentance, not graceWhy modern “signs and wonders” don’t match the BibleWhat it truly means to live by faith in the church age…this episode will give you clarity.This is a powerful, eye-opening study on rightly dividing the Word of Truth and seeing God’s plan unfold exactly as Scripture describes.

In this live episode from the Asylum in Eagle Pass, I sit down with multi-genre author and podcaster Tricia Copeland to explore the magic behind storytelling, the craft of building believable worlds, and the courage it takes to bring characters to life. We talk about her path from scientist to novelist, how a personal struggle inspired her first fiction series, and why her creativity spans fantasy, dystopian, and contemporary romance. Tricia shares insights on writing strong character arcs, balancing multiple genres, and closing out her 10-book saga that culminates with To Be a Fae—the finale of the Realm Chronicles—where themes of identity, leadership, and bravery take center stage. We also get into her Finding the Magic Book Podcast, how Toastmasters sparked her transition to hosting, the realities of indie publishing, and the difference between writing novels and adapting them to screenplays.We swap favorite classics (yes, vampires and Poe), talk about why readers’ emotional investment is the ultimate compliment, and preview her upcoming romance Perfect Secrets (June). If you love urban fantasy with witches and vampires, epic fae realms with a medieval vibe, or heartfelt romances with a happily ever after, Tricia’s catalog—and candid look at the author life—will hit the spot. Plus, find out how to grab two free short stories and where to follow her work and podcast.Check out her books, podcast, and freebies, and keep an eye out for her upcoming romance, Perfect Secrets, arriving in early June.

Broadcasting live from Eagle Pass, Texas, I sat down with retired Army Reserve Lieutenant Colonel and first-time author Ken Webb to unpack his psychological thriller, Trapped in Deception, and the very real life experiences that inspired it. We explored his journey from decades in uniform and a corporate career to starting over in Peru at 56, the sting of personal betrayal that seeded his antagonist, and how imperfect, conflicted characters make for a truer, grittier story. Ken shared how his protagonist—loosely based on himself—faces moral gray zones, leadership pressures, and a past misfire in combat, while chasing a reinvention-obsessed con artist who fakes his death and flees to Peru. We also dove into faith, Bible study, learning languages later in life, and the realities of self-publishing—editing costs, algorithms, reviews, and why persistence beats perfection. Ken’s goals now include finishing his series, serving in his local church, and donating books to libraries. If flawed heroes, ethical dilemmas, and international intrigue are your jam, this conversation—and Ken’s novel—are for you.

Tonight’s two-hour live show brings you two powerful stories and perspectives. from the Asylum Studios in Eagle Pass, Texas.In hour one, I sat down with Jack Straw—former police captain turned federal inmate who rebuilt his life as a brewer and creator of the YouTube channel “Fed Joints to Beer Joints.” Jack opened up about the realities of life on both sides of the justice system: why discretion and humanity matter in policing, how subjective enforcement shapes outcomes, and the harsh, highly organized realities of prison culture—far from Hollywood myths. He shared how he survived his lowest point, became a jailhouse lawyer, and now channels hard-won perspective into writing, music, and Prison Break Brewery. It’s a raw, candid conversation about accountability, conscience, and finding purpose after failure.In hour two, Finnish-Canadian author, book coach, and podcaster Lisa Kovala joined me to talk craft, courage, and heritage. We explored her historical mystery “Like Water for Weary Souls,” set in 1930s Northern Ontario, and how Finnish sisu—inward grit and persistence—fuels creative work. Lisa discussed shaping her father’s Nazi camp survival memoir with care and honesty, the balance between research and storytelling, and practical advice for writers: build fundamentals, read widely, start before you feel ready, and persist. We also dug into AI’s role, authentic voice, and why the writing life is about process over outcomes. A thoughtful, wide-ranging conversation for readers, writers, and anyone chasing meaningful work.

In this Sunday Bible Study, I broadcast live from the Asylum Studios in Eagle Pass and continue our series on the Dispensations—now 12 weeks in. After a quick update on some pesky tech gremlins, we dive into the close of the legal dispensation and move into the forerunner of the King: John the Baptist.I trace Israel’s history from the divided kingdom and captivities through the restoration prophets to the 400 years of silence, showing how John’s call to repent stood squarely in the prophetic stream. We unpack the difference between the Kingdom of Heaven (physical, Davidic, promised to Israel) and the Kingdom of God (spiritual, new birth), examine Jesus’ qualifications to wear both crowns through His lineage, victory over Satan, and works, and walk through Matthew’s arc from genealogy to national rejection in chapter 12 and the parables of chapter 13. The takeaway: God’s blessings hinge on moral righteousness—salvation rests on Christ’s righteousness, but fruit and favor are tied to our obedience.I close with Paul’s charge to examine ourselves and preview where the study heads next: Israel’s threefold rejection and the mystery form of the kingdom.Scripture highlights: Isaiah 40; Zechariah 6, 8; Malachi 3; Matthew 1–13 (esp. 3, 5–7, 8, 12–13); John 3; Romans 5; 1 Corinthians 2, 11; Revelation 19. Listeners new to dispensational study will find a guided overview; long-time students will appreciate the verse-by-verse threading that clarifies why repentance preceded the kingdom offer and how that informs our walk today.

In this New Year’s crypto edition, I welcome back our resident “crypto psychic” Marisa Lee for a fast-moving conversation that blends market insights with real‑world developments.We dig into Solana’s momentum, why Chainlink and PYTH could pop on government data integrations, and how stablecoin adoption by banks in 2026 may boost blockchain fees and valuations—especially for networks like Algorand. Marisa lays out bold but time‑tempered price zones: Solana eyeing $700 then $1,400, Chainlink in the $50–$75 range, Algorand toward $5, Ondo Finance in the $8–$10 zone, PYTH toward $1, and a near‑term doubling setup for XRP as ETFs and clarity arrive. We also touch on the coming “Clarity Act,” why institutional money could surge into digital assets, and how fractional real estate on-chain is maturing. Beyond markets, we keep it real about security concerns at large events and odd weather patterns to watch in 2026—then bring it back to practical steps: accumulate during dips, diversify into quality infrastructure plays, and keep perspective on timelines.Resources mentioned include Marisa’s monthly crypto report and site for deeper dives, plus our own show links and ways to connect. Whether you’re stacking Algo and XRP or scouting RWAs and oracles, this episode gives you a focused game plan for the first 60 days of 2026 and beyond.

In our final live show of 2025, I battled a few tech gremlins and kicked things off streaming exclusively on Rumble before welcoming economist and author Dr. Doug Cardell to the studio. We dug into what socialism actually is (government ownership of the means of production), why terms like “democratic socialism” are misused, and how socialism’s central planning clashes with the chaotic nature of real economies—much like trying to forecast the weather.Dr. Cardell explained “evidentiary economics,” arguing policy should follow outcomes, not wishful thinking, and traced how free market capitalism has driven global prosperity by expanding the pie rather than redistributing a fixed one. We talked incentives, black markets under socialism, the difference between self-interest and selfishness, why income inequality naturally emerges from free choices, spontaneous order, and the importance of creating value. He also shared early American collectivist failures at Jamestown and Plymouth and why socialism repeatedly resurfaces despite historical evidence.We closed with practical takeaways—the ABCs of economics as everyday choices—and Dr. Cardell’s new book, Why Socialism Struggles, available for preorder now. I wrapped with ways to connect with the show, our value-for-value support model, and programming updates as we head into the new year. Thanks for an incredible 2025—see you next year!

In this Sunday Bible Study edition, I invite you into a sweeping survey of the Old Testament prophets—from Elijah and Elisha to Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Jonah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi—and how their hard-edged messages of repentance, holiness, and separation apply to our times. We trace Israel’s decline, captivities under Assyria and Babylon, the 70-year judgment foretold by Jeremiah, the returns under Ezra and Nehemiah, and the prophetic panoramas of Daniel and Ezekiel that stretch across 2,500 years to the restoration of Israel and the end of the age. We also consider John the Baptist as the final Old Testament-style prophet, the distinction between the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God, and why repentance remains the doorway to both national restoration and personal new birth in Christ. I close with an invitation to be born again and a prayer for all listening, encouraging you to turn to the Lord Jesus Christ today.Along the way, I reflect on the character of the prophets—their courage, suffering, and unwavering proclamation of truth—and why their “negative preaching” was a mercy from God to a drifting people. If you’ve ever wondered how the prophetic books fit together historically and theologically, or what their themes mean for believers right now, this fast-paced survey will help you see Scripture’s big picture and God’s faithful call to repent, believe, and be made new.

In this episode, I sit down with certified clinical hypnotherapist and medical hypnosis specialist Craig Meriwether of Sacred Mystery Hypnotherapy to explore the science and spirituality behind hypnotherapy, past-life regression, natal (in‑utero) regression, and life-between-lives work. We unpack how hypnosis actually functions as a natural shift in brainwave states—not mind control—and why healing can occur whether a regression is a literal past-life memory or a symbolic construct of the subconscious. Craig shares compelling cases, including trauma relief, pain reduction, and powerful insights that often emerge in the “healing place” of the soul realm. I also reflect on my own recent regression session with Craig—what it felt like, what surprised me, and the themes that surfaced for my life today—emphasizing the practical takeaways around patterns, purpose, family, and the pull of “home.”We also cover who should and shouldn’t try regression work, the difference between fun curiosity and therapeutic intent, how Zoom sessions can be as effective as in-person work, and why integrating the experience afterward (recordings, transcripts, journaling) matters. If you’re curious about past lives, the mechanics of consciousness, or simply want a grounded take on whether this stuff can genuinely help, this conversation delivers insight, skepticism, and hope in equal measure.

In this Bible Study Sunday edition, I walk through Israel’s transition from judges to kings and the danger of comparing ourselves to the world. We revisit Saul—the people’s choice—and David—God’s choice—to draw out what God values most: the heart. From there, we survey key kings, the division of the kingdom, and why imitating worldly power corrodes vision and faith.Along the way, I unpack the Jehoiakim/Jehoiachin (Coniah) curse to show a compelling, “political” proof of the virgin birth, then turn to Lamentations to reflect on how a people lose their crown when they lose their God-given vision—contrasting that with Caleb’s steadfast faith in Joshua 14.We close by urging personal examination, renewed zeal for the Gospel’s “foolishness” of preaching, and a call to recover our vision before it’s too late. I also preview tomorrow’s conversation on past life regression therapy with guest Craig Meriwether and share service times for those local to Eagle Pass. PodMatch (hosts and guests marketplace mentioned): https://podmatch.com/ The Joe Rooz Show on PodMatch (host profile referenced): https://podmatch.com/member/joe Podhome (podcast hosting platform referenced): https://podhome.fm/ Craig Meriwether — Arizona Integrative Hypnotherapy (upcoming guest): https://arizonaintegrativehypnotherapy.com/ Craig Meriwether — Bio page: https://arizonaintegrativehypnotherapy.com/craig-meriwether-hypnotherapist/ Watch and Followhttps://Rumble.com/JoeRoozhttps://YouTube.com/@JoeRoozFOLLOW US ON:X: https://x.com/joeroozFacebook: https://facebook.com/joeroozshowMinds: https://minds.com/joeroozGETTR: https://gettr.com/joeroozSpecial thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Marisa LeeExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?

In this live Friday night episode from Asylum Studios in Eagle Pass, I sit down with Dan “Taxation Is Theft” Berman—author, activist, and provocateur—to unpack his decade-long battle with the IRS, why he believes most Americans misunderstand the income tax, and how Supreme Court rulings frame the income tax as an excise rather than a direct tax. Dan walks us through W-2 vs. 1099 realities, withholding strategies, and how he’s secured refunds (even of Social Security/Medicare withholdings) by challenging IRS assumptions and paperwork—without resorting to sovereign citizen claims. We also explore the Federal Reserve’s incentive structure, inflation as engineered policy, and Dan’s blueprint to “Crash the Fed” through peaceful, practical steps including moving savings out of vulnerable instruments and into alternatives like metals and certain cryptocurrencies. Along the way, we hit state income tax parallels, property tax pain, campaign finance loopholes, and why broad public consensus—not politicians—ultimately changes policy.We close with resources to learn the legal history (Sixteenth Amendment, Brushaber, Baltic Mining), how to read your IRS transcripts, and where to follow Dan’s ongoing cases and tools. If you’ve ever wondered whether the system is rigged—or how to responsibly push back—this conversation is a crash course in tax skepticism, strategy, and personal responsibility.

Broadcasting live from the Asylum Studios in Eagle Pass, Texas, I kick off a packed show with award-winning author and artist Jonni Jordyn. We dig into her journey from performing with legendary musicians like members of Santana and opening for the Blues Brothers to becoming a novelist later in life. Joni shares how acting shaped her character-first storytelling, why she outlines (but stays flexible), and how she approaches revisions until emotion and continuity click. We explore her Lost Art of Magic five-part series nearing its finale, her Virus techno-thriller trilogy born from genetic simulation code, and themes of patriarchy, satire, and world-building across fantasy and sci-fi. She also talks reviews, writing pace, and what keeps her inspired in Denver—plus candid thoughts on AI’s role in creativity.In hour two, author and financial strategist Tony Bradshaw joins to discuss The Millionaire Choice, building wealth with a clear mindset shift, and designing a “millionaire plan” (income, debt, and wealth strategies reviewed annually). We cover lessons from his years leading digital transformation at Dave Ramsey’s organization, stewardship-centered leadership, the difference between simple budgeting and wealth-first thinking, and practical steps for beginners: start investing small, then shape a budget around priorities. Tony shares perspectives on corrupt capitalism, marketing, scalable systems, gold/silver, real estate, crypto, and using AI to streamline podcasting and business.We close with a surprise third hour: the long-awaited return of my good friend Wayne Rankin, who updates us on recovery from major surgery, plans for his upcoming show, and why he’s ditching commercialized Christmas for handmade gifts and service—handing out care bags to truckers and focusing on the heart of the season.

In this heartfelt live episode from Eagle Pass, I welcome internationally certified mentor and author Doug Lawrence to unpack grief—why it’s misunderstood, how it shows up differently for everyone, and what genuine support looks like, especially during the holidays. We explore the evolution of mentoring from command-and-tell to trust-based guidance, how structured and unstructured mentoring can bolster mental health, and why asking for help isn’t weakness but wisdom. Doug shares how losing his wife after 43 years reshaped his understanding of grief, the importance of communication and boundaries around holiday invitations, and practical ways friends and workplaces can truly support the grieving. We also touch on closure, the role of mentors as active listeners, and why grief has no end date—only a personal, ongoing healing journey.Plus, I open up about my own experiences with loss, seasonal struggles, and the pressure to “be festive,” offering an honest look at coping in real time.

In this Sunday Bible Study episode of The Joe Rooz Show, I guide you through a sweeping, practical overview of the Book of Judges as part of our dispensations series. We set the historical stage after Joshua’s death, explore Israel’s repeated cycle of sin, suffering, supplication, and salvation, and unpack why “every man did that which was right in his own eyes” (Judges 21:25) serves as the book’s key verse. We look closely at Gideon, Jephthah, and Samson—their faith, failures, and how God’s mercy shines through—while drawing everyday applications on separation, compromise, parenting, and trusting God through trials. I challenge you to read Judges this week with fresh eyes, note its practical principles, and consider how rehearsing God’s victories in your home and church can safeguard the next generation’s faith.We also recap recent and upcoming programs, invite questions and feedback, and encourage you to join us live for future studies as we continue through the Law and prepare for what’s ahead in the series. Stay connected, share the episode, and let us know where you’d like the study to go next.

In this Saturday crypto psychic edition, I welcome back our resident crypto psychic, Marisa Lee, for a candid, high-energy catch‑up on the roller‑coaster crypto markets and her 2026 predictions. We dig into why large-cap coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Chainlink, and Solana could move first on ETF flows and bank recommendations, why some altcoins (including Algorand) may lag short term due to portfolio rotation, and why patience and accumulation still matter. Marisa lays out a near-term window—late December into January/February—for meaningful market improvement, plus a broader 2026 outlook featuring more altcoin ETFs, potential tax changes, and macro shifts she believes can set up a stronger second half of the year. We also roam into precious metals, stablecoin payouts for creators, platform monetization headaches, safety cautions for large public events, geopolitical flashpoints, and the politics-meets-markets dynamic that could influence sentiment. It’s an unscripted, funny, and frank conversation that blends market talk with real-life challenges and a few unexpected laughs along the way.Resources and mentions (non-sponsor): XRP, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Chainlink, Solana, Algorand; discussion of crypto ETFs; stablecoin creator payouts; Rumble and YouTube creator tools; market mindset: accumulation, time horizons, and diversification.

In this Friday night episode of The Joe Rooz Show, I welcome homesteader, theologian, and author David Libby for a deeply encouraging, Scripture-saturated conversation on suffering, God’s sovereignty, apologetics, and authentic Christian living. From his family’s years-long battle with Lyme disease to the theological foundations that sustained him, David shares how head knowledge becomes heart-level faith through trials. We dig into why suffering exists, how God refines believers through hardship, the harmony of divine sovereignty and human responsibility, and what it means to stay watchful and courageous in a complacent church age. We also talk homesteading life in rural Maine, living self-sufficiently, and cultivating a life of prayer, Scripture, and obedience as the world grows darker. David closes us in a powerful prayer—an exhortation to rise, watch, and fight the good fight with steadfast hope. If this conversation challenged or encouraged you, let me know via the site contact form or email. And if you missed my recent chat with Werner Neff, catch the replay—then meet us for Sunday’s Bible study as we continue our walk through the Law and trace how it points to Christ.

In this episode, I pull back the curtain on a hectic week at the Asylum Studios in Eagle Pass and kick off a thoughtful conversation with political economist and author Werner Neff. Despite last‑minute inspection chaos at my day job and some live-show tech gremlins, Werner and I dive deep into civic culture, democratic norms, and why polarization is eroding trust in America. Drawing on his Swiss background and his book, “What Would the Founding Fathers Tell Us Today?”, Werner explores how republics function best when citizens practice compromise, respect constitutional limits, and engage in real debate rather than party-line tribalism. We cover gerrymandering, the two-party stranglehold, the value of civic education, and practical steps for communities to strengthen democracy. The hour wraps with programming updates and a candid note on schedule changes for the rest of the week. Resources mentioned include Werner’s website and his recommended read on democratic backsliding. I also share ways to stay connected with the show and upcoming episodes, including our crypto segment and Sunday Bible study, while leaving out sponsor chatter so you can focus on the conversation that matters.Guest: Werner Neff — political economist; author of “What Would the Founding Fathers Tell Us Today?” Topic highlights: civic trust, polarization, gerrymandering, two‑party dynamics, ethical leadership, and practical civics.

Broadcasting from Eagle Pass, Texas, I kick off the week with returning guest and veteran journalist Patrick Sangimino to explore how American journalism changed over the last four decades—from the heyday of local newspapers to today’s social-media-driven news cycle. We talk trust, bias, and the pivotal role of community reporting in holding local officials accountable, plus how national narratives, COVID coverage, polling, and predictive markets have warped public perception. Patrick shares stories from his 40-year career, why Watergate inspired a generation, how unnamed sources erode credibility, and why athletes and politicians bypass the press via direct-to-fan platforms. We also touch on his book, Dogs Chase Cars, its upcoming audiobook, and his new project about life after a newsroom career. Along the way: holiday reflections, family moments, the joy of minor league and high school sports, and why reading long-form still matters in a 280-character world.Resources and links mentioned: Patrick’s website at patricksangimino.com; follow Patrick on X at @PSangimino and on Instagram at @PatrickSangimino. His novel Dogs Chase Cars is available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, with an audiobook in progress. For show updates, visit joerooz.com and join the email list.

In this Sunday Bible study, I walk through the Tabernacle from a dispensational perspective, showing how its structure and rituals point directly to Jesus Christ. We explore Hebrews 9–10 and Exodus 29 to connect the brazen altar, laver, table of showbread, golden candlesticks, altar of incense, veil, and Holy of Holies with the work of Christ—our High Priest who entered once with His own blood for eternal redemption. I break down the Ark of the Covenant, the mercy seat, cherubim, and the contents of the ark, and survey the rich symbolism of the tabernacle’s materials (gold, silver, brass, colors, linens, skins, and wood). We trace the progressive revelation from Adam to the Passover, highlight the awe and separation required to approach God, and preview prophetic implications in Ezekiel 40–48 for millennial worship. The core message: you cannot approach God without the blood—behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.I also outline seven “steps” through the tabernacle as a picture of salvation and sanctification—sacrifice at the brazen altar (the cross), cleansing at the laver (separation), feeding on the bread of life, walking in the light, prayer as incense, and entering the presence of God. We close with an invitation to salvation and a call to live with holy reverence as the dwelling place of God.

In this packed Friday night show, I kicked things off from Asylum Studios in Eagle Pass, Texas and welcomed two compelling guests. First up was Robert Rosen, author of Nowhere Man: The Final Days of John Lennon. We dug into the origins of his book, his access to Lennon’s diaries, and how he blended investigation with restrained imagination—especially around Lennon’s vivid dream practices, occult interests, yoga and numerology, and his surprisingly intense fixation on Paul McCartney. Robert also shared how a brief born-again phase drew unexpected attention from Christian media and why he believes Nowhere Man captures Lennon’s inner world like no other biography.In hour two, I sat down with Dr. Katherine Hayes—author, editor, educator, and host of Murder, Mystery & Mayhem Laced with Morality. We explored her multicultural roots, her path from ministry curricula to thrillers, and the heart behind her novel A Fifth of the Story: trauma, truth, and the power of that ‘one-fifth’—what God sees. Katherine talked crafting complex characters (including a white supremacist), writing authentic male voices, and serving military families alongside her veteran husband. We closed with community notes, upcoming guests, and an invite to our Sunday Bible study series on dispensations.

Tonight I hosted a lively, free‑wheeling two-hour show from Eagle Pass, Texas. In hour one, trial lawyer-turned-novelist Russell Little joined me to talk life, writing, bourbon, cigars, and ultimately his hurricane-drenched thriller, Murder by Storm. We swapped stories about Houston, West Texas, old fashioned's (Maker’s Mark vs. 1792), dogs, pasta sauce, and how real hurricanes reshape people and crime scenes—then dug into how Russell builds characters from unforgettable real-life personalities, why Harvey was the perfect backdrop for a murder mystery, and the challenge of writing a razor-sharp antagonist named Marilyn. We also touched on his children’s books inspired by African wildlife and his granddaughter.Hour two, the Blue Cat himself—comedian and Static Radio co-host Bob LeMent—returned for a fast, funny riff on 24 years of unscripted podcasting, the evolution from “internet radio” to today’s all-media landscape, avatars, AR/VR’s bumpy road, and why video podcasts are just media now. We talked traffic, living in flyover country, why most creators still self-censor, what AI really is (a supercharged plagiarism machine), and where digital personas may be headed. Bob gave shoutouts to his wife’s recent wins, plugged Static Radio, and promised to come back for a holiday round two. A big thanks to our producing team and to all of you for joining in—see you Friday at 7 PM CT for more live talk and laughs.Resources and links: Russell Little: russelllittleauthor.com | Book: Murder by Storm.
