The Joe Rooz Show

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. We close with where to find Doug and his book, Grief, The Silent Pandemic, and a reminder that our live shows stream across multiple platforms with replays available anytime.

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.

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.

Broadcasting from Eagle Pass, I kicked off an unplanned Monday show with a candid mood check, some playful banter about “pop-ins,” and a quick riff on why we’ve recently shifted away from heavy politics toward more author and creator interviews. Then we dove into a lively conversation with guest Dannie Mendoza, president of Eagle Pass PopCon. Danny announced a special mini Eagle Pass PopCon event slated for January 31 at the Eagle Pass Mall (free admission, open-to-close), featuring professional cosplayers, a “mini” celebrity guest (wrestler or voice actor), vendors, family activities, and a three-tier costume contest (kids, teens, adults) judged by pro cosplayers. He also teased a big reveal at the mini event: the date, location, and star guest for the main Eagle Pass PopCon 3 later in the year. Danny explained how PopCon grew from a marketing initiative connected to his energy/solar business into a community-centric, family-friendly celebration that draws visitors from beyond Texas. We covered vendor and sponsor opportunities, special limited-time discounts, and how supporting PopCon can also support this show. Audience Q&A touched on collectibles (yes, action figures), desired 3D-printed originals, and how out-of-town interest is shaping the event. We closed with where to follow PopCon news, a reminder that admission is free, and notes on upcoming guests and show schedule.

In this Bible Study Sunday, I  reflect on the spirit of Thanksgiving, genuine friendship, and gratitude for our growing community. From there, we continue our multi-week series on dispensations, revisiting last week’s Passover study and moving into a doctrinal exploration of kingdoms, crowns, and the law—why the Bible devotes so much space to the rise and fall of governments, how Moses served as a king in Jeshurun, and how Israel was called to be a kingdom of priests. We trace the “path of the crowns” from Adam to Noah to Abraham to Moses, contrast the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God, and consider how amillennial approaches misplace hope in political reform rather than in Christ. Digging into Scripture (Deuteronomy 33, Exodus 4, Leviticus 26), we examine God’s covenant promises and warnings, the reality of divine blessing and discipline, and the persistent pattern of human collapse revealed in Judges. We discuss why Satan’s opposition broadened from individuals to an entire nation, why antisemitism recurs through history, and how God preserves Israel because of His unconditional covenant. Along the way, we touch on seven baptisms in Scripture, the difference between inspirational and doctrinal applications, and the sustaining hope of the rapture. The takeaway: only Jesus Christ—Prophet, Priest, and King—can restore what the first Adam lost, and our trust must be in Him, not in human systems. Join us next week as we begin tabernacle worship and how people were saved under the law.

In this Thanksgiving-eve episode, I broadcast live from Eagle Pass and welcome Dr. Don Weber—global communication strategist, former human intelligence operative, and executive coach—for a candid, wide-ranging conversation on trust, body language myths, mindful leadership, and how to genuinely connect when speaking. Don shares gripping insights from years operating under multiple identities across 90+ countries, the psychological toll and discipline required, and the path that led him from high-stakes fieldwork to coaching leaders on strategic empathy and presence. We also dig into public speaking that persuades versus merely performs, why motives matter more than micro-gestures, and how mindfulness and self-awareness anchor effective communication—especially under pressure.In the second segment, I’m joined by Ruben Camarillo, host of the Now You Know Eagle Pass podcast and newly announced candidate for Maverick County Judge. We talk gratitude, plans for Thanksgiving, the realities of running locally, and keeping community-focused conversations alive. I wrap with show updates, ways to support, and a heartfelt thank-you to our producers and listeners. Happy Thanksgiving—go podcasting!

In this Bible Study Sunday, I broadcast from Eagle Pass and continue our series on Dispensations, moving from the patriarchs into the Dispensation of the Law. I set the stage with Israel’s 400 years in Egyptian bondage and introduce the Passover as both a historic event and a powerful type pointing to Christ, our Passover.We walk through the ten plagues as judgments on Egypt’s gods, then focus on Pharaoh’s four compromises—worship in the land, don’t go far, leave the family, and leave your possessions—and how these mirror the enemy’s tactics to keep believers tied to the world. We then dive into Exodus 12 to examine the Passover lamb: its purity, the application of the blood by hyssop (a picture of accessible faith), the necessity of applying—not merely analyzing—the blood, and feeding on the roasted lamb as a picture of fellowship with Christ.I close with a pastoral appeal to reject compromise, trust fully in the blood of the Lamb, and live with the joy and assurance that flows from obedience and faith.Coming up in the series: the giving of the Law at Sinai, tabernacle worship, the judges, the kings and divided kingdom, the captivities, the prophets through John the Baptist, and tracing the crowns of the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God—so you can gain a clearer grasp of the whole Bible storyline.

Tonight I broadcast live from the Asylum Studios in Eagle Pass, Texas for a two-guest show that dug deep into the real-world impact of prediction markets and the grit of adult paranormal fantasy.In hour one, I sat down with Christopher Gerlacher of Prediction News to unpack how platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket translate breaking legal decisions, debates, and early vote trends into market odds in real time. We explored why markets can be a sharper “nowcast” than polls, how the CFTC and states are colliding over the definition of “gaming,” the rise of sports contracts, and why responsible trading safeguards may be the industry’s sleeper issue. Chris also shared insights from the 2022 midterms, the mechanics of live odds swings, and what campaigns are really watching on election night.In hour two, author and former Army officer Richard Spegal joined me to talk about building unapologetically adult paranormal worlds. We discussed his Eternal Nights prequel duology and Wolves and Ravens trilogy—stories that lean into moral risk, psychological fallout, and brutally real characters. Richard opened up about writing combat-realistic scenes, exploring faith and suicide with care, the challenge of celestial-lore without alienating readers, and why he centers committed partnerships over YA-style love triangles. His next book wraps the Wolves and Ravens arc soon, and I’ll have him back to dive deep once it’s out.

On tonight’s show from the Asylum Studios in Eagle Pass, I kicked off a packed program with returning guest and friend of the show, artist and author Julian Raven. Julian delivered a major update on his ongoing legal battles with the Smithsonian Institution, arguing the Smithsonian is a private charitable trust—"an independent entity"—and not a federal government agency, a distinction he says was underscored by recent leadership turmoil and public statements by the Board of Regents. He laid out his motions now before the D.C. District Court to vacate a 2018 ruling and align the record with law and history, while revisiting the origins of the Smithsonian, James Smithson’s will, and the Institution’s long, complicated funding path. We also explored Julian’s new lawsuit against New York State’s DEC over alleged contamination claims at his Elmira studio, his principled approach to law and citizenship, and why the Declaration of Independence remains his blueprint for civic action.In hour two, Danny Mendoza joined to preview Eagle Pass Pop-con developments. He announced a free “Mini EP Pop-con” planned at the Eagle Pass Mall (targeting January 31, 11 AM–6 PM) featuring pro cosplayers, Star Wars cosplayers, a Hello Kitty appearance, a wrestler signing, and preliminary cosplay contests for kids, teens, and adults. Danny also unveiled early-bird sponsor and vendor opportunities (including steep, limited discounts) that roll into the larger Eagle Pass Pop-con 3, with the full date and theme to be revealed at the mini event. Special thanks to surprise drop-in guest and original EP Pop-con MC, Ruben Camarillo, for sharing on-the-ground perspectives from Pop-con 1 and 2. If you missed Julian’s powerful July 2 appearance, cue it up—his immigration journey and love for America’s founding principles are a must-hear.

In this Bible Study Sunday, I walk through the fifth week of our Dispensations series, focusing on the Patriarchal (Promise) dispensation with Abraham at the center. We trace the “crowns” of the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven, explore Abraham’s unconditional covenant of grace, and unpack why the land promise—from the River of Egypt to the Euphrates—has been history’s most contested ground. I also contrast Premillennial, Postmillennial, and Amillennial positions, explain how those views shape modern theology and geopolitics, and connect Abraham’s faith to New Testament salvation—clarifying imputed righteousness (Genesis 15/Romans 4) versus justification (James 2/Genesis 22). We finish with key truths about sacrifice, the priesthood, and why the kingdom only comes with the King, encouraging listeners to trust Christ and walk by faith, even when it means walking alone.Resources mentioned include numerous Scripture references across Isaiah 41, Genesis 15 & 22, Romans 4, James 2, Hebrews 10, and others, to help you study Abraham’s covenant, the land promise, and the doctrine of salvation in more depth.

In this candid Saturday edition, I sit down with D Paul Fleming—disabled Navy veteran, Native American holy man, and spiritual warrior—to explore the intersections of faith, trauma, healing, and the unseen world. D Paul shares gripping stories from his life and work: surviving harrowing military experiences, confronting darkness during spiritual warfare, and the moment he relinquished and then reclaimed divine protection. We unpack how Native American spirituality and Christian faith can walk hand-in-glove, what it means to be a “hollow bone,” and practical ways to discern spirit versus imagination, raise your spiritual vibration, and reclaim balance across the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual “four corners.” D Paul opens up about his books—including hard-won lessons from childhood trauma, veteran suicide, and true-paranormal encounters at the historic Wyndham Inn—where a resident spirit narrates the tale. We also field a live listener question on “the gray area,” discussing how prayer, meditation, grounding, and intentional faith practices help push back darkness. Come for the storytelling; stay for the spiritual clarity, tough love, and hope-filled encouragement to keep the faith and move forward.Resources mentioned (non-sponsor):- Books by D Paul Fleming on Amazon: “2442 Steps to Crazy,” “A Date with Suicide,” “Mysteries at the Wyndham Inn”- Granddaughter Crow (Dr. Joy Gray): author of “Shamanism and Your Shadow”- Wisdom of the Ages (shop/resources for spiritual tools)Connect with D Paul: Search “D Paul Fleming” on Amazon and Facebook to find his books and contact info.

In this episode, I sit down with Sean Blackwell, author of Bipolar Awakenings: The Quest to Heal Bipolar Disorder, for a deep dive into the intersection of bipolar disorder, spiritual emergence, and nonordinary states of consciousness. We explore Sean’s personal awakening in the 1990s, his early encounters with “spiritual emergency,” and how that experience propelled him into decades of work using transpersonal psychology, holotropic-style breathwork, and what he calls surrogate breathwork to support healing. Sean shares striking stories—from supporting family members through medication-free psychotic breaks to facilitating powerful, somatic releases—while emphasizing safety, humility, and collaboration with psychiatry. We unpack the common “spiritual delusions” seen in acute psychosis, the role of Kundalini and the chakra framework, and why Sean views bipolar episodes as potentially meaningful reorganizations of the psyche rather than purely biological malfunction. He offers grounded guidance for those newly diagnosed (including staying on medications while exploring spiritual work safely), outlines his four-pillar approach (psychiatry, psychology, peer support, spirituality), and points listeners to his free books, training resources, and videos. If you’ve ever questioned the conventional narrative on mental illness—or you’re seeking new language and tools for profound inner transformation—this conversation will challenge and inspire. Resources mentioned: Sean’s website: bipolarawakenings.com (free PDF downloads of both books, training resources, and links to YouTube/Instagram). Key influences include Dr. Stanislav Grof (holotropic breathwork, spiritual emergency) and Ken Wilber (evolution of consciousness).

Tonight I sat down with Mark Burnett—a database programmer turned medical innovator—who shared his remarkable journey through Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, and the unconventional path that helped him regain balance, memory, and daily function. Mark traced his diagnoses back to early-life exposure at Camp Lejeune, then walked us through the research that led him to a little-known plant seed and a no-heat milling process he developed to preserve its active compounds. He described improvements he and other users have experienced, his focus on the brain’s glymphatic “cleanup” system, and why he believes consistent daily use matters, whether for active symptoms or prevention. We also discussed caregiver realities, the limits of standard treatments, and the importance of tracking progress with simple weekly logs and periodic lab work. Mark talked candidly about testing, safety checks (including recent liver panels), completing a Michael J. Fox Foundation race after starting his regimen, and his goal of making the product accessible while keeping quality controls tight. If you or a loved one are navigating Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, or dementia, this conversation offers a mix of cautious hope, practical tips for routine and delivery (cold foods, easy mixing), and resources to learn more, including his free eBook and ongoing updates on his site.'My Brain Restore' (Mark Burnett’s site and eBook): https://mybrainrestore.comHost site: https://joerooz.comMichael J.

In this Bible Study Sunday from Eagle Pass, I share a heartfelt dedication to my late mom before diving into our ongoing survey of dispensational truth—tracing Scripture’s timeline from Genesis through Revelation. We review creation, the fall, and Adam’s lost crowns, then focus on the post-flood “dispensation of human government,” exploring Noah’s covenant, capital punishment, and the consequences at Babel. I walk through how Scripture frames government, why mankind repeats the same mistakes, and how the themes of crowns, kingdoms, and spiritual vs. physical rule run from Adam to the Second Adam, Jesus Christ. We also examine Genesis 6, the “sons of God,” mythic echoes in world cultures, the sociological cycle of nations from Noah’s sons, and why knowing the Scriptures clarifies history, culture, and our present moment.Despite a rough start and a lingering cough, we cover a lot of ground: proper worship reestablished by Noah, the symbolism of the rainbow, the loss and transfer of crowns, the Babel judgment and language dispersion, and the difference between the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God. If you missed our Friday marathon episode with Peter Ticktin and Rory Paquette, I encourage you to catch the replay, and as always, I invite you to search the Scriptures with me so we won’t “err, not knowing the Scriptures.” 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 milestone 200th episode, I celebrate the journey so far with gratitude for our producing team and listeners. In hour one, renowned attorney Peter Ticktin returns for a wide-ranging conversation on lawfare, election integrity, January 6, and high-stakes cases involving Tina Peters and Stephanie Lambert. Peter shares insider perspectives on legal strategy, judicial fairness, alleged government weaponization, and why 2026 election safeguards are pivotal.In hour two, podcaster and coach Rory Paquette joins to talk craft, consistency, and purpose—how he runs six podcasts, serves faith-driven audiences, and coaches men in leadership, accountability, and calling. We also swap stories on resilience, near-death wake-up calls, faith, masculinity, and the power of community in podcasting—all while marking 200 episodes and looking ahead to the next 200.Resources mentioned: Peter Ticktin—legalbrains.com (email: [email protected]).

In this episode, I welcome speculative fiction author Annmarie SanSevero to the show for a lively, wide-ranging conversation that spans New York roots, Southern culture shocks, and the creative spark behind her new short story collection, The Butterfly Stroke and Other Stories. We dig into how hope, courage, and resilience power her science fiction and fantasy—from a former Olympian regaining movement through a brain implant to a detective aided by a wisecracking supernatural sidekick—while exploring the human consequences of fast-moving tech like neural interfaces. Anne Marie shares her journey from single mom squeezing in 15 minutes of writing a day to award-recognized short fiction, the research-first “what if” engine behind her worldbuilding, and the authors who shaped her voice.We also talk Dickens, Babylon 5, cryptids-as-pen-pals, and why everything in life (even hospital stays and dog antics) becomes creative research. Stick around to hear where to find her work, upcoming projects (including a middle-grade steampunk/fantasy trilogy), and how stories help us face hard things with courage.Plus, I recap a packed weekend across the show: a great in-studio conversation with Ruben Camarillo, a crypto update with resident “crypto psychic” Marisa Lee, and Sunday’s Bible study series on dispensations.

Broadcasting from Eagle Pass, I kick off Bible Study Sunday a little under the weather but fired up to continue our dispensations series. After recapping our recent milestone pace and yesterday’s marathon broadcasting day, I dive into week three: the Dispensation of Conscience. We revisit the fall of Adam, the loss of his crowns, and how, absent a written law, God inscribed the law of conscience on the human heart. I walk through Romans 2 and Acts 17 to show how conscience guided right and wrong in the “times of ignorance,” and how God still made Himself known to seekers like Cain, Enoch, and Noah—later mirrored by Cornelius and the Ethiopian eunuch.I explain why fig leaves symbolize human-made religion that can’t cover sin, the necessity of a bloody covering pictured in Genesis 3:21, and the difference between temporary Old Testament coverings and Christ’s once‑for‑all sacrifice. We contrast Abel’s acceptable offering with Cain’s works-based approach, unpack the principle “without shedding of blood there is no remission,” and explore Enoch as a type of the church raptured before judgment—foreshadowing tribulational events. We close with prayer, preview next week’s dive into the Dispensation of Law, and invite listeners to stay engaged as we continue building line upon line in this study.

In this episode I kick off our afternoon crypto hour with resident crypto psychic Marisa Lee after wrapping a marathon earlier show. We dive into the current lull in the market, the government shutdown overhang, and why November still looks promising historically and intuitively. Marissa flags potential near-term volatility tied to SNAP funding and broader unrest, but remains confident the shutdown ends this month and a bigger move is brewing. We talk portfolio mindset—patience over panic—and specific projects she’s watching: DIA as a compelling oracle play with 2026 upside potential, BitTensor (TAO) as a top AI crypto standout with Bitcoin-like supply dynamics, steady conviction in Solana as a long-term beast, and opportunities created by dips in names like Algorand and Morpho.We also touch on PayPal’s stock upside drivers (stablecoin, crypto rails, online gaming) while noting platform caveats, and close with practical security guidance on cold storage wallets (Ledger and Arculus) and a reminder to only buy direct from the manufacturer. Beyond markets, we reflect on how macro headlines can spill into crypto, the power of karma in politics and life, and a heartfelt moment on faith and purpose. Big thanks to Marissa for another insightful session—here’s to staying patient, diversified, and focused on the long game.

In this special Saturday episode, I welcome local podcaster and community advocate Ruben Camarillo, host of Now You Know Eagle Pass, for a candid, three-hour, in-studio conversation. We swap origin stories about getting into podcasting, compare studio vs. remote setups, and dive into small-town politics, transparency, and accountability—touching everything from forensic audits, board appointments, and council conduct to why civil dialogue matters. Ruben opens up about the tension that comes with reporting uncomfortable truths, how he balances fairness and facts, and the personal toll it can take. We also get lighter: food talk (Rhodee’s, cottage pie), dad life, Star Trek vs. Star Wars, retro music, gaming, Cub Scouts, leadership, and faith. If you care about civic life in Eagle Pass—or just love a real, unfiltered host-to-host sit-down—this one’s for you.We close with community notes, veteran support, and how to keep the conversation going. Thanks for spending your Saturday with us—keep talking, keep thinking, and support your local creators and veterans.

In this Halloween live episode from Eagle Pass, I kick things off with some seasonal memories and safety reminders before settling into a conversation with author and historian Scott Badler about his new book, Becoming JFK: John F. Kennedy’s Early Path to Leadership. We dig into the lesser-known, formative years of JFK—from his health struggles and family dynamics with his brother Joe Jr., to the “Muckers” episode at Choate, his pre–World War II travels through Europe, and the harrowing PT-109 incident. Scott shares why this 11-year span shaped Kennedy’s persistence, worldview, and leadership style, and how fresh archives and research challenge long-held myths about the Kennedy brothers. We wrap with takeaways for young readers, the value of curiosity and grit, and where to find Scott and his work.Plus, I lay out what’s ahead for the show this weekend—including an in-studio chat with local host Ruben Camarillo and our recurring crypto segment with Marissa Lee—and how to stay connected via our website and socials. Thanks for spending part of your Halloween with us—see you tomorrow at 11 AM CT.

In this episode, I kick things off with some midweek mayhem, then dive into a riveting two-guest lineup exploring human potential and world-shaping tech. First up is Tom Matte, whose life-changing recovery sparked a phenomenon he calls Upsight Vision—the ability to see and interact with holographic-like imagery that reveals subconscious signals and symbolic patterns. We discuss how he uses this capacity in 1:1 sessions to help people uncover blocks, navigate decisions, and interpret recurring archetypes—plus the forthcoming academic paper from the Institute of Noetic Sciences analyzing his EEG data. Tom’s journey from crisis to consulting is a powerful look at transformation, intuition, and the edge of cognitive science.In hour two, inventor and futurist Pablos Holman joins to talk creating technology that matters, from Blue Origin’s early days to factory automation, energy breakthroughs, and how AI becomes a creative copilot rather than a replacement. We get into practical optimism: choosing problems worth solving, voting with your life’s work, and why the future needs all of us—not just scientists and coders, but builders, operators, and sellers too. Pablos shares insights from his new book, Deep Future, and why embracing fast-evolving tools (robots, AI, and more) can help us build a better world faster.

In tonight’s episode, I welcome two guests with very different but equally practical missions. First up, screen time strategist and author Ruby Ryba joins me to talk about intentional digital habits and her forthcoming book, How to Stop Scrolling. We dig into the behavioral science behind phone addiction, simple environmental tweaks (like charging your phone outside the bedroom), configuring Do Not Disturb modes, and replacing mindless scrolling with goals, joy, and rest. Ruby shares how to spot internal and external triggers, set boundaries that stick, and model healthier tech use for our families—all without demonizing the phone as anything more than a tool.In the second half, local entrepreneur Dannie Mendoza steps into the studio to talk energy, community, and giving back. We get into Texas energy basics, why solar—done right—can be a long-term solution, and how to avoid common pitfalls in bills and installations. Danny also previews community projects, including the EP PopCon, the Golden Vox small-business spotlight (which I’ll be hosting on weekends), local Rotary efforts, the downtown Halloween event, and veteran support initiatives pushing for a VA clinic in Eagle Pass. It’s a conversation about saving money, strengthening community, and creating opportunities right here at home.

In this Bible Study Sunday, we continue our series on dispensational truth. We review last week’s foundation—what “dispensation” means biblically—and move into the Edenic dispensation (innocence), tracing creation, Lucifer’s fall, the recreation in Genesis 1, and Adam’s role as king with both spiritual and physical crowns. We explore how man was made in God’s image, the tri-part nature of man (body, soul, spirit), what changed at the fall, and why apparent “contradictions” reconcile when we rightly divide Scripture. I walk through the tree of life across Genesis and Revelation, obedience as the condition for life in Eden, and how history is a struggle over lost crowns and kingdoms, from Adam to Noah to Abraham, up to Israel and the church. We also tackle the classic problem of evil with a step-by-step reasoning of God’s love, human choice, and responsibility. Finally, I preview the next lesson on the dispensation of conscience and extend an invitation to seek restoration of God’s image through Jesus Christ.

Live from Eagle Pass, I kicked off a Friday night show with some housekeeping and local updates, then dove straight into the ongoing federal government shutdown—the “Schumer Shutdown,” what’s actually closed versus essential, and the real-world impacts on paychecks, SNAP/WIC, parks, housing, research, and travel. I walked through the political standoff over ACA subsidies, who’s refusing to budge, fresh polling on blame and public sentiment, and why the media narrative isn’t sticking like it used to. I also hit listener questions and highlighted our recent local guests, plus a heads-up on Sunday’s Bible study series.In hour two, I shifted to UN Day and laid out ten reasons to get the U.S. out of the United Nations, from sovereignty conflicts and disarmament pushes to bureaucratic overreach. I featured Sen. Mike Lee’s DEFUND Act to withdraw and defund U.S. participation in the UN and urged listeners to contact Congress. I wrapped with community notes, ways to support the show, and upcoming events—then set the table for a deeper look this Sunday.Resources and mentions (non-sponsor): - DEFUND Act (HR 1498 / S. 669) – contact your reps: jbs.org/alert - Eagle Pass Public Library Halloween event (Oct 28) - Maverick County Food Pantry Veterans drive-through (Nov 13) - Sunday Bible Study series: Dispensations (this week: Innocence) 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 Paco Ramirez, library assistant at the Eagle Pass Public Library, to spotlight how our local library is reinventing itself as a true community hub. We talk through the big Halloween on Main Street event Paco is spearheading—an all-ages, shut-down-the-street trick-or-treat with games, local agency booths, art stations, food vendors, and costumes galore—designed purely for safe, simple fun and community connection. Paco shares how the idea grew from a small, impromptu candy handout into a full-scale collaboration among city and county departments, and what families can expect when they show up.Beyond Halloween, Paco walks us through the library’s growing role: ESL classes, digital literacy help, senior craft hours, weekly story times, summer reading, and cultural programs like Día de los Muertos and Hispanic Heritage events. We also swap a few local ghost tales—including a rumored library spirit—chat about how libraries serve everyone without judgment, and explore why these programs draw new faces into the building. To stay plugged in, search “Eagle Pass Public Library” on Facebook or call the library at (830) 773-7323.

In this two-hour live episode from Eagle Pass, I kick things off with author and educator S.A. Schneider, a middle-grade fantasy writer on a mission to spark kids’ creativity through stories, video games, and music. We dive into his unusual co-creator—a rescue wolf named Hunter Moon Moon—then explore how video games can be powerful storytelling engines, why imagination should be nurtured before grammar, and how parents and teachers can help kids become lifelong readers and storytellers. We talk narrative design, simple tools that let kids build games, the value of failure, and practical ways families can turn creativity into a habit. In hour two, I’m joined by Daphne Armour and Nate Smith of the Texas Nationalist Movement to unpack Texan Arise—their statewide volunteer training push for the 2026 primaries. We cover how the Texas Legislature really works, why primaries are where most races are decided, the Texas First Pledge, and the path to getting a referendum on Texas independence. We talk practical ways Texans can plug into campaigns (often from home), why focusing on Austin beats chasing DC, and how an independent Texas could streamline government, strengthen the economy, and keep power closer to the people.

In this Sunday Bible Study edition of the Joe Rooz Show, I kick off a new series on Dispensations—starting with the often-avoided Pre-Adamic period. I lay out why rightly dividing the word of truth matters, how dispensations frame God’s differing dealings with humanity across time, and why misunderstanding time periods leads to theological confusion. We trace foundational passages (Genesis 1, Ezekiel 28, Isaiah 14, Ephesians 1–3, Colossians 1, 1 Corinthians 9, 2 Peter 3) to explore Satan’s original role, the earth’s chaotic state, and the case for Genesis 1 as a re-creation—highlighting clues like “replenish” and the absence of “it was good” on Day Two. I preview where we’re headed next: the Dispensation of Innocence, and a continuing thread on the Bible’s central theme of kingdoms and authority from Genesis to Revelation.I also invite listeners to share questions, prayer requests, and topic suggestions via the website or email, and to follow along live or via archives across our streaming platforms. Join me next week as we build on this foundation and examine mankind’s responsibility, disobedience, and judgment in each dispensation—unlocking Scripture by rightly dividing the word of truth.

In this episode, I welcome back our resident Crypto Psychic, Marisa Lee, for a candid, fast-moving conversation on the latest crypto crash, why it happened, and what she’s sensing is next. We unpack the market’s sharp drop following the tariff headlines on China, the cascade effect on leverage traders, and why she believes the dip is a setup for a strong bull run as we head into November.We get into practical portfolio thinking—where stablecoins fit (and don’t), why she’s pounding the table on Algorand, Cardano, and OriginTrail, what to expect from Bitcoin and XRP into 2025–2026, and how ETFs and broader adoption may act as catalysts. We also talk payments innovation (Stripe’s Tempo L1), Japan’s yen-pegged stablecoin plans, long-term cryptos to dollar-cost average into, and the broader macro noise—taxes, policy, and world events—impacting investor confidence. Bottom line: hold the line, be patient, and prepare a plan for rapid decisions when the next leg up hits.Quick notes and ways to connect are at joerooz.com, where you can drop questions for the next crypto check-in. You can listen to the show on Apple, Spotify, Amazon, and modern Podcasting 2.0 apps that let you stream sats.

In this solo Friday-night show from the Asylum Studios in Eagle Pass, I cover a packed slate: John Bolton’s indictment over alleged mishandling of classified documents and how it echoes prior controversies; the Schumer-led shutdown standoff and why Democrats are digging in over funding priorities; and the “No Kings” protests, including the NYC rally’s sponsors and what that signals about the left.I then break down the fiery New York City mayoral debate among Andrew Cuomo, Curtis Sliwa, and Zoran Mamdani—touching on crime, policing, antisemitism, National Guard authority, and each candidate’s experience (or lack thereof). We also examine Virginia’s attorney general debate, where incumbent Jason Miyares hammered Jay Jones over violent rhetoric and a 116-mph reckless driving case tied to “community service” at his own PAC. On foreign policy, I recap President Trump’s calls with Vladimir Putin, his Oval Office meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky, why Tomahawk missiles are “off the table,” and whether a Budapest meeting could lead to a ceasefire. I close with a look at new soft-disclosure buzz around UFOs/UAPs—highlighting public comments from senior officials—and why it raises bigger strategic questions than the headlines suggest.Programming notes: crypto market swings and what to watch with our resident crypto psychic Marissa Lee on Saturday at 12 PM CT; how to connect, support, and engage with the show and future topics.

In this solo episode from the Asylum Studios in Eagle Pass, I catch up with listeners after a brief break, share updates on our guest lineup, and send prayers for our executive producer Wayne as he recovers from a serious post‑biopsy infection. I thank our growing audiences on Rumble and YouTube, explain why Rumble is our home base, and invite feedback on guests and topics you want next. I also discuss the show’s value‑for‑value model, how to connect via joerooz.com, and ways to support the show as we navigate an unexpected escrow shortfall that could impact our production schedule.From there, I dive into current events: President Trump’s posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom for Charlie Kirk and the newly declared national day of remembrance; the State Department revoking visas of foreign nationals who publicly celebrated Kirk’s assassination; media double standards around leaked private chats among young Republicans versus violent rhetoric from Democrat AG hopeful Jay Jones; and sharp exchanges at the Supreme Court as Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson draws a controversial ADA analogy in a Voting Rights Act case. I close with an explainer on the interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS—its composition, trajectory, and why it’s puzzling astronomers—plus a primer on the Texas Nationalist Movement’s legislative, peaceful approach to state sovereignty and an upcoming interview with TNM leaders.

In this Sunday Bible Study edition, I walk through the final installment of our seven-week series on wisdom from Proverbs, focusing on the power of the tongue—how it can curse, lie, bare tales, talk too much, and speak too soon, and how, when surrendered to God, it can bring peace, offer wise reproof, deliver souls, teach the things of the Lord, and carry the gospel. We move briskly through dozens of Scripture references—from Proverbs, Jeremiah, James, Romans, and beyond—looking at real-life applications, everyday pitfalls, and practical ways to guard our speech and use our words for God’s glory. I also share updates on recent and upcoming show formats, invite your feedback and questions, and preview potential new series on Dispensations or Revelation starting next week. Wherever you’re listening, I pray this study helps us all bridle our tongues and build others up in truth and charity.Resources and next steps: Read Proverbs 10–21; James 3; Romans 3; 1 Peter 4. Reflect on “a soft answer turneth away wrath” (Prov. 15:1) this week.Share your takeaways or questions via the website contact form or comments, and let us know which series—Dispensations or Revelation—you’d like next.

In this episode, I welcome back Dr. David Schein—professor, attorney, author, and host of the Saving America and Business Law 101 podcasts—for a fast-moving conversation on American leadership, policy, and the state of our politics. We dive into U.S. foreign policy strength and deterrence, discuss lessons from history and presidential performance (including how Dr. Schein grades presidents and why he sees the current bureaucratic state as failing), and explore term limits, congressional excess, and the power of incumbency. We also tackle domestic realities—economy, cost of living, and crime—plus 2026 midterm prospects, notable governor and mayoral races in New York, Virginia, and New Jersey, and what a smarter, leaner federal focus could look like. Dr. Schein shares the thinking behind his books Decline of America and Bad Deal for America, his forthcoming projects, and where to find his work. If you enjoy straight talk on leadership, government accountability, and practical reforms, this episode is for you. Listener Q&A and feedback are always welcome at joerooz.com—send in your thoughts, questions, and guest/topic suggestions, and we’ll feature highlights in an upcoming show.

In tonight’s live show from Eagle Pass, I welcomed veteran journalist and author Patrick Sangimino for a candid, wide-ranging conversation about the rise and unraveling of American newspapers, life on the NFL beat, and the human stories at the heart of his debut novel, Dogs Chase Cars. Patrick shared how decades in newsrooms shaped his perspective on technology’s double-edged impact, why Twitter-era athletes no longer “need” the press, and the moment he realized the industry was changing for good. We dug into the newsroom’s daily miracle, the lost art of local reporting, and the personal costs of chasing stories at the expense of relationships—anchored by a touching father-son thread and a memorable title origin you won’t forget.We also touched briefly on breaking headlines about an Israel–Hamas peace plan announcement, before pivoting to a spirited second hour with executive producer Wayne Rankin on everything from costs of living and church culture shifts to interstellar curiosities and the comfort of simple, unplugged living. It was an easygoing, long-form night of real talk, sports memories, Italian food rants, and a heartfelt challenge to value people over paychecks.
