The Joe Rooz Show

Tonight I sat down with Fire Captain Mark Andrew, author of Leading Through the Heat, for a straight-talking conversation about real leadership when it truly counts.We dug into how preparation and training before a crisis enable quick, decisive action under pressure, why trust is built long before the sirens blare, and how great leaders shield their teams, own mistakes, and hold high standards without ego. Mark shared down-to-earth stories from the fireground—venting roofs, scarce water, split-second calls—and translated those lessons into practical takeaways for any workplace: be present, listen hard, train together, and be decisive. We also explored where leadership fails—micromanaging, indecision, passing blame—and how to fix it by leading from the front and caring enough to have tough, private conversations that help people refocus.If you lead a team (or want to), this episode is packed with actionable insights you can use tomorrow. Check out Mark’s book, connect with him on social, and share this with someone who could use a boost in their leadership game.Guest: Mark AndrewAmazon: https://a.co/d/0ebPgAQz Barnes & Noble: Leading Through the Heat by Mark Andrew, Paperback | Barnes & Noble® IG: @markdbnfireX: @theconversat Watch and Follow 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?

Broadcasting live from the Asylum, I kicked off the show with a quick update: our first-hour guest was a no-show, so longtime friend of the show Wayne “Mister W” Rankin jumped in early for a wide-ranging, unfiltered conversation. We covered Wayne’s life on his Washington State mountain homestead—yes, including his very real chicken-plucking rig, year‑round egg production, bartering for elk, DIY know-how, and survivalist humor—and then dug into heavier topics: ballooning taxes and fees in Washington, pension and legal frustrations post–postal service, the blue-state exodus, and the personal calculus many families face to beat punitive tax brackets.From there, we pivoted to national and geopolitical currents, weighing mixed feelings about U.S. strategy on Iran, the cost of undeclared forever-wars, and the importance of clearly stated objectives—while keeping the main thing the main thing: faith, encouragement, and prayer for our leaders and troops.We wrapped with Wayne’s trademark grit and wisdom: leave well enough alone and don’t manufacture your own problems—and keep your sense of humor intact while you prep the farm for spring.Guest: Wayne RankinHousekeeping:Catch our live shows weeknights at 7 PM CT (8 PM ET) and Bible Study Sundays at 2 PM CT—we’re in Revelation 5 this week.Visit joerooz.com to send questions, guest/topic ideas, or email [email protected] us on Rumble at rumble.com/joerooz and don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share.Value-for-value supporters can find ways to help at joerooz.com/support.Tomorrow night: Caramel Lucas joins us on a special Thursday show.

In this episode, I sit down with Noah May—journalism graduate, multi-show creator, and host of Lethal Venom—to dive into the messy, honest realities of mental health, storytelling, and building a voice when the world would rather you keep quiet. Noah opens up about battling depression and anxiety since age 13, the turning point that led to his diagnosis, and how music, therapy, and an unwavering mother’s support helped him push through his darkest seasons.We talk candidly about stigma—especially for men—why silence can be dangerous, and how his podcast became a place where blunt truth beats performative “awareness.” We also get into the grind behind podcasting: editing, booking, rankings, and the real work it takes to deliver meaningful conversations—plus a few laughs about leaderboard rivalries and the day a blue cat guested on a show.If you’ve ever felt unseen or stuck, this conversation will remind you that you’re not alone—and you’re not stuck.

Tonight I sat down with Deacon Dr. Kevin Cummings, a retired dentist turned Catholic deacon whose second act is anything but quiet. After four decades in dentistry and ordination in 2011, Kevin helped found Deacons of Hope and Saint Mary’s Home for Mothers—an 18‑bed residence in Missouri serving homeless pregnant women. We talked candidly about turning convictions into concrete action, why so many people want to help but don’t know how, and how faith, fatherhood, and service intersect when you decide to do the hard work in front of you. Kevin shared the origin story of the homes, the crucial role of volunteers and “angels” on a 24/7 hotline, and why creating real alternatives changes lives—45 babies born at Saint Mary’s last year alone.We also dug into marriage and fatherhood, the dignity of life, and what it means to protect and provide in a culture that often sidelines men. Kevin spoke powerfully about redemption, practical mercy, and building community across denominational lines—because real help doesn’t check your church label at the door. If you’ve ever wondered how to move from debate to doing, this conversation is a blueprint.

In today’s Sunday Bible Study, I walk you through Revelation chapter 4, wrapping up our multi-week dive into this pivotal section of Scripture.We revisit last week’s intensive focus on Revelation 4:1 and then explore what John saw when he was caught up: the throne of God, the jasper, sardine, and emerald imagery, the rainbow encircling the throne, and the sea of glass like unto crystal.We connect these visuals across Scripture—Genesis 1, Job 26–38, Psalms, Isaiah 6 & 11—to illuminate biblical cosmology, the “waters above,” the seven Spirits of God, and the identity and significance of the 24 elders, their white raiment, and their crowns. We also consider the four living creatures, heavenly worship, and what all this reveals about God’s holiness, eternity, and our purpose: that all things were created for His pleasure.The takeaway is both doctrinal and devotional—amid the chaos of our age, there is a throne in heaven, and God reigns. I also encourage listeners to review earlier parts of our Revelation series (intro, the glorified Christ, the seven churches, and last week’s deep dive into 4:1) to follow the flow.As we look toward Revelation 5 next week, keep your eyes upward, stay grounded in the word, and remember: our worship, hope, and endurance are anchored in the One who sits on the throne.

In tonight’s episode, I sit down with songwriter and music catalog creator Jonathan Steele—an Air Force veteran who’s written more than 100 compositions and released over 90 tracks across rock, pop, country, inspirational, and Christian genres. We dig into the craft behind building a long-term songwriting catalog: how ideas spark, when lyrics lead versus when rhythm drives, working with professional demo companies, and why he’s chosen to focus on publishing and ownership over touring.Jonathan shares candidly about perseverance through health challenges, the discipline he carried from the military into music, and how his Christian faith fuels both his life and his art. We also talk drummers, classic rock influences, and the practical steps indie creators can take to protect and release their work without getting lost in the industry noise.Jonathan highlights standout songs like In a Soldier’s Stance, Crossing Paths, Lost in the Rain, Hope, and Good Life Elsewhere, plus some of his comedic tracks—and he opens up about his goal to pursue publishing deals, placements, and eventually live performance.If you’re building something real—song catalog, business, or brand—this conversation is a masterclass in consistency, ownership, and sticking with it until the world catches up.

Tonight I’m joined by Dr. Trevor Harrison, a retired sociology professor and leading researcher on populism, nationalism, and political movements.We dig into why trust in institutions is eroding across the Western world, what “the people” and “the elites” really mean, how immigration and identity get pulled into populist narratives, and why party incentives and career politicians amplify polarization.We compare U.S. and Canadian dynamics, talk third-party hurdles, oligarchy concerns, and what history teaches about states under stress—plus where decentralization and regional identity may be heading. We also touch on Trevor’s forthcoming travel memoir, Safarname, tracing the 1970s “hippie trail,” and his recent poetry exploring war, culture, and our turbulent times. If you’re looking to understand the roots of political frustration—beyond the headlines—this conversation offers context, caution, and a few surprising laughs along the way.Guest: Dr. Trevor W.

Tonight, I sat down with Eric Fisher—trauma therapist, addiction recovery counselor, black belt martial artist, and author of Buried Alive: Four Ways to Free Yourself from the Dirt. We dug into what it means to feel “buried alive” by trauma, addiction, regret, and overwhelm, and how recovery isn’t magic—it’s a disciplined practice much like martial arts. Eric explained EMDR and ART in clear, accessible terms, shared why resilience and community are essential, and offered first steps for anyone feeling stuck, including practical stabilization strategies and where to find immediate support.We also talked about his father’s near-fatal trench collapse that inspired his book, how faith complements therapy, and why curiosity, introspection, and agency (his CIA framework) can move us from paralyzed to proactive.I also shared show updates, gave a birthday shout-out to Producer “Anonymous Angela,” and reminded listeners how to connect, send guest/topic ideas, and catch our live schedules—including our Saturday crypto segment and Sunday Bible study series.If you or someone you love is battling addiction or trauma, this episode is a grounded, hope-filled guide to taking that crucial first step out of the hole.Guest: Eric Fisher, MS, CCC, CTwww.recoveryartscounselling.com Watch and Followhttps://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?

Today on the Sunday Bible Study edition of The Joe Rooz Show, we step into one of the most important turning points in the entire Book of Revelation — Revelation Chapter 4.After delivering messages to the seven churches, John suddenly sees a door opened in heaven and hears a voice like a trumpet saying, “Come up hither.” Many Bible scholars view this moment as a powerful picture of the Rapture of the Church — the event that removes believers from the earth before the seven-year Tribulation begins.In this episode, we explore how Revelation 4 launches the prophetic timeline that carries us through the Tribulation, the rise of the Antichrist, Armageddon, and ultimately the return of Jesus Christ.We’ll connect Revelation 4 with key passages like 1 Thessalonians 4 and 1 Corinthians 15, examine what the Bible says about the resurrection body believers will receive, and unpack why the rapture must occur before God’s wrath is poured out on the world.This is the launching pad for the rest of the Book of Revelation, and understanding it helps unlock the prophetic structure of Scripture.

In this episode, I sit down with author, podcast host, and foster/adoptive mom Kim Patton for a candid conversation about infertility, open adoption, and the realities of foster care.Kim shares how years of waiting and hard conversations in marriage reshaped her faith and family, the beauty and challenges of open adoption, and what it’s like to foster teen girls working through profound trauma. We talk about struggling well, setting boundaries with compassion, and trusting God’s timing when life doesn’t go according to plan.Kim also gives a peek into her memoir, “Nothing Wasted,” why she chose a reflective, memoir approach over self-help, and how her Book Therapy podcast encourages foster and adoptive families one book at a time. If you’ve faced a detour in building a family—or you’re considering foster care or adoption—this episode offers honest insight, hope, and a reminder that God can redeem even our hardest seasons. Guest: Kim Pattonhttps://kimpatton.com/ Follow and Watchhttps://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?

Tonight I sat down with Dr. Mark Defant, a geologist and geochemist whose work on volcanoes and continental crust formation led him into a broader public conversation about science, ideology, gender, and how culture can distort evidence.We covered his fieldwork from Kamchatka to Central America, why adakites matter to understanding early continental crust, and the pitfalls of centrally planned systems he witnessed in the late Soviet Union. From there, we dug into evolutionary psychology: sexual selection, why men and women tend to want different things in mates, how “patriarchy” can be understood through evolutionary pressures, the pay gap as a story of preferences and trade-offs, and why slogans like “health at any size” conflict with medical evidence. We also talked about the state of academia, DEI policy swings, free speech, and why open inquiry matters more than ever.I closed with a reminder that science isn’t about pleasing narratives—it’s about testing ideas against data, even when conclusions are uncomfortable. Stay curious, examine claims, and don’t be afraid to ask hard questions; that’s how knowledge moves forward. If you enjoyed this one, share it, leave a comment, and let us know what you want us to cover next.Resources mentioned: Dr. Defant’s site (markdefant.com), his recent Skeptic magazine piece on interstellar objects, his book “Voyage of Discovery,” evolutionary psychology literature on sexual and natural selection, and classic Twilight Zone episodes referenced (“The Obsolete Man”).

Tonight we sit down with Randi-Lee Bowslaugh — Canadian National Champion kickboxer, Pan-American Games silver medalist, cancer survivor, author, and outspoken mental health advocate.From living with depression since the age of 14 to receiving an adult diagnosis of Autism and CPTSD in her 30s, Randi-Lee’s journey is one of grit, clarity, and refusing to quit. She worked more than six years in frontline social services after graduating top of her class in Community and Justice Services, gaining firsthand insight into addiction, recovery, and marginalized communities.We discuss her book Good-Bye Too Soon, written after losing her brother to overdose, and the difficult balance of loving someone while protecting yourself. We also explore how combat sports forged her mental toughness, how cancer reshaped her perspective, and what resilience actually looks like when you don’t feel strong. Honest, intense, and unexpectedly funny, this conversation is about grit, compassion, and choosing discipline when motivation is gone. Resources mentioned: Randy’s website (rbwriting.ca), The Write or Die Show on YouTube and podcast platforms, and her book Goodbye Too Soon: A Family’s Loss by Drug Overdose (expanded edition) on Amazon.

In today’s Bible Study Sunday, I walk us through Revelation chapters 2 and 3 with a clear roadmap for avoiding the theological knots these chapters can create. We revisit the threefold lens for every passage—historical, inspirational, doctrinal—and show how the seven letters were written to real churches in Asia Minor, offer timeless commendations and warnings for us today, and doctrinally point forward to the Tribulation rather than the Church Age.We unpack why “overcoming” in these letters cannot be laid on Church Age saints without creating contradictions with Pauline doctrine, explore church history parallels from Ephesus to Laodicea, and trace the long arc of Babylonian religion from Nimrod to Pergamos to Rome, tying in Jezebel’s influence, the Nicolaitans, and the dangers of ecumenical, doctrine-light religion. Along the way, we emphasize right division, dispensations, and why context dissolves confusion—highlighting what God commends (discernment, endurance, keeping His word) and condemns (leaving first love, false doctrine, lukewarmness). I close by previewing Revelation 4, where the scene shifts to heaven and the study accelerates. If you missed last week’s introduction to Revelation 1 and our earlier dispensations series, circle back—those foundations will make today’s material click. Watch and Follow on: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?

Tonight I sat down with author and speaker Sam Tschritter for a raw, honest conversation about grief, healing, and hope. We explored how loss reshapes identity, why there’s no cookie‑cutter timeline for grieving, and the power of giving ourselves and others grace. Sam shared the winding path behind Love Unedited, her early work supporting miscarriage and infant‑loss parents, and her profoundly difficult new book, The Prodigal Son: Crackhead to Jesus Freak—her late husband’s story of addiction, relapse, pastoral ministry, cancer, and radical grace. We laughed through the heaviness, talked about blending humor with hard truth, and highlighted how real life’s small moments can carry us through the darkest seasons.We also dug into common misunderstandings about grief, the unhelpful things people say, and what actually helps: listening, presence, and patience. Sam’s core message is simple and needed—you’re not alone. For anyone walking through loss or supporting someone who is, this episode offers empathy, candor, and a reminder that grief isn’t the end of your story; it’s a chapter on the way to purpose and hope. Guest: S.E.

Tonight, I sat down with veteran trial attorney, former prosecutor, and law professor James Porfido to pull back the curtain on the American criminal justice system. With over 35 years in courtrooms—on both sides of the aisle—James shared how justice can tilt toward the state, why the move from prosecutor to defense changed how judges treated him, and how resources and delay tactics can pressure defendants long before a jury is ever seated. We explored bail reform, risk algorithms, the ethics of public defense, and the real meaning of the Sixth Amendment. We also dug into false accusations, high‑profile cases, COVID-era court disruptions, and why “justice” is often a moving target rather than a guaranteed outcome. James also discussed his new book, Unequal Justice: A Search for Truth to Balance the Scales, reflecting on notable prosecutions, complex defense cases (including clergy and campus cases), and systemic fixes—from prosecutorial culture to judicial backbone. Whether you work in the system or may one day rely on it, this conversation is a candid guide to how courts really function and what it takes to protect your rights.Guest: James M.

In this episode, I sit down with Paul Granger—full-time volunteer ministry leader, host of the “Where Did You See God?” podcast, and a man committed to living as an ambassador for Christ—to tackle identity, purpose, faith, and what success really means. We unpack how easily we tie our worth to titles and paychecks, and why true purpose holds firm when the externals fall apart.Paul shares powerful stories about taking “crazy” steps of faith—leaving traditional paychecks behind, praying through an impossible house purchase, and redefining success away from outcomes and toward obedience and love. We also dive into scripture-rich insights on trusting God’s provision, embracing discomfort, and learning to see God in everyday life. We talk shepherding gifts, honest conversations about hardship, and the hard truth that sometimes we are the mission field God is working on. From Exodus and John 6 to Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, this is a practical, convicting, and hope-filled conversation for anyone feeling stuck in work, marriage, or faith. If you’ve been wrestling with calling, provision, or what it means to represent Jesus in real life—this one’s for you.  Guest: Paul Grangerhttps://www.wheredidyouseegod.com/Follow and Subscribe onhttps://rumble.com/joerooz/livehttps://youtube.com/@joerooz Resources/Links mentioned:• Paul Granger: wheredidyouseegod.com • “Where Did You See God?” podcast (search your favorite podcast app) • Joe Rooz Show on Rumble: rumble.com/joerooz• Contact the show: joerooz.com (use the contact form) • Email: [email protected] • Live show times: Weeknights 7 PM CT / 8 PM ET; Bible Study Sundays 2 PM CT; “Crypto Psychic” Saturdays (biweekly) at Noon CT 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 sit down with award-winning novelist Gerald Everett Jones for a wide-ranging conversation on history, storytelling, and the hidden forces that shape our world. We dive into his new novel, Jonathan’s Journal, which springs from a real 1919 soldier’s diary and unravels a lesser-known front of World War I across Mesopotamia, Palestine, and India. Gerald walks us through the “Eastern Question,” the Berlin-to-Baghdad railway, the fall of the Ottoman Empire, and why sea lanes and warm-water ports still drive geopolitics today. We also swap notes on film craft, acting, and how close observation—Le Carré-style—helps readers see between the lines of both fiction and history. Beyond the pages, we talk creative origins, research rabbit holes, and the personal stories that inform Gerald’s work—from family histories touched by two world wars to Hollywood lore and the evolution of media. If you’re curious about the threads connecting past and present, and how a discovered diary can challenge the way we think about cause and effect, this episode’s for you.

In this Sunday Bible Study edition of The Joe Rooz Show,  we begin our journey through Revelation Chapter 1—the moment when Jesus Christ is revealed in His full authority, power, and prophetic role. This is not the humble servant seen in the Gospels. This is Christ revealed as the eternal Alpha and Omega—the One who was, who is, and who is to come. In this foundational chapter, we explore: • The true meaning of the “Revelation of Jesus Christ” • The spirit of prophecy and its role in Scripture • The three-dimensional structure of biblical prophecy—past, present, and future • John’s vision of the glorified Christ • The prophetic timeline of the Church Age, the Rapture, Tribulation, and Second Coming • Why Revelation is as relevant today as ever This episode sets the stage for everything that follows and reveals why Revelation is ultimately a message of both warning and hope. Join us as we begin one of the most important and powerful journeys in all of Scripture.Watch and Follow https://Rumble.com/JoeRooz/Livehttps://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 sat down with Ruben J. Camarillo—U.S. Army veteran, small business owner, and host of the Now You Know Eagle Pass podcast—who’s now running for Maverick County Judge. We dug into leadership, accountability, and what transparency should actually look like in county government. Ruben talked about how Army values shaped his approach to responsibility, why he believes Maverick County needs to work together across factions, and his priorities around public safety, EMS and fire services, and funding the Sheriff’s Office. We also covered infrastructure gaps in rural areas like Quemado and El Indio, response times, meeting accessibility, budget visibility, and what real economic growth should look like beyond more fast food—think warehousing, higher-paying jobs, and responsible use of grants. Beyond policy, we got personal: the importance of faith in his daily life, what community means in a border town, and why unity—without uniformity—is essential for the future of Maverick County. If you’re voting this primary season, this conversation will help you get a clearer picture of Ruben’s leadership style, his platform, and his vision for a stronger, more transparent Maverick County.Follow The Joe Rooz Show: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 episode, I sit down with entrepreneur and operator Paul Shrater for a fast-paced, wide-ranging conversation about turning ideas into real businesses. We cover his early days in e-commerce when customers still feared entering a credit card online, why he built not just a store but an entire infrastructure spanning contract packaging, fulfillment, and distribution, and how that positioned him to partner with today’s creator-led brands. Paul shares the story of supplying NASA’s food lab and sending fruitcake to the International Space Station—twice—plus what he looks for when launching new products and why the creator economy and TikTok’s algorithm are fundamentally reshaping how products get discovered and sold. We dig into the mindset divide between “MBA entrepreneurs” and operator-builders, the trap of ego when scaling, why storytelling beats hard-sell tactics, and how live selling will evolve in the U.S. Paul also breaks down practical next steps for anyone stuck at the idea stage, from using AI to map a plan to finding mentors who can help you avoid common pitfalls. If you want a candid blueprint for execution—team, systems, and discipline over hype—this one’s for you.Guest: Paul Shraterhttps://www.paulshrater.com/WATCHhttps://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?

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. Come for the encouragement, stay for the challenge to shine your light with zeal and grace.We close with resources to connect with TS, learn about his podcast and books, and prepare for a forthcoming Revelation study—plus a reminder that the Lord never leaves His people without a path back to Him: repent, reconnect, and carry the message.Guest: TS Wrighthttps://godcenteredconcept.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 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.

He also produced the indie feature The Almighty Fred and directed the award-winning films Into the Flames and Conviction, with Conviction winning Best Screenplay at the Culver City Film Festival.As a novelist, Michael is the author of the award-winning thriller series Stealing Thunder (Thrillspy Award winner), the murder mystery Murder in the City of Light, and the literary magical realism novel Journey So Dreams May Come. His work spans screenplays, plays, documentaries, commercials, and online media.With a background in philosophy (UC Santa Barbara) and formal film training at Columbia College–Hollywood, Michael brings a unique depth to his stories—blending action, mystery, meaning, and imagination.Guest:Michael Mandavillehttps://creativeexplorer-michaelmandaville.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?
