A Case for Wisdom Thomas Chappell pt 2 If you are starting your own business or you are an entrepreneur and you are looking for a tremendous jump in success, our next guest is the person you need to talk to. With over 28 years of experience helping people and organizations make complex projects successful, Tom Chappell helps you to become innovative in solving problems. With a “human-centered” design process, Thomas helps you to understand the situation looking at it from your customers’ needs and services. You will recognize the challenges that are impacting your operations, learn new strategies and be able to design solutions that people want! And, you will have higher engagement from employees to partners and show a significant ROI on your projects. Today is part two and the conclusion of this very informative interview with my good friend, Tom Chappell. What do you mean by “combining knowledge with wisdom?” You have a term, “wisdom is hard to earn but easily dismissed.” What do you mean by that? What about this “lack of foundation in the “true” rather than “the Truth?”  What does that mean? What was one of the biggest “ah-ha” moments you’ve experienced in your work? Tom, this is all so interesting. If someone wants to learn more, ask a question or get in touch with you, how can they do that? How can someone get in more information? I’ll put links to all of that in the show notes below. Folks, I’ve known Tom for several years now. And being a former soldier – I know his decision making ability is top notch and he is more than able to pass that knowledge on to YOU. Amen! That’s one thing I love about the military, the decision making process is taught from day one basic training and it never quits over your entire career. That is why so many leaders in businesses today are prior military. Amen! Put Tom’s knowledge and skills to work in your organization. Bring him in to take a look and identify things that can be improved. For most of us, it takes an outsider coming in and looking around, asking questions and then providing you feedback to show you things you just took for “normal” but when fixed – can make a HUGE difference in your bottom line. It’s that old “but that’s the way we have always done it” mentality that is holding you back. Break out of that mentality right now!  Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Tom Chappell and begin to make those improvements that will propel you forward into the this next year in profitability and growth that you desire. Amen! Drop down into the show notes, click the links right there and get in touch with Tom Chappell today.

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

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

Build Your Own Home and Save Gary McCormick pt 2 Gary McCormick was the Vice President of a mortgage bank and was helping home flippers and builders to obtain better mortgage rates in their businesses. This allowed them to obtain larger loans and flip more houses at one time. Since he was so successful, they started taking him to lunches, etc. just to show their appreciation. Then Gary started to think about entering the business himself. He seen the money they were making. He knew the “inside game” of obtaining the loans – he knew these other players would help him “sub out” the work! Long story short, this is what he did. Amen! All was well until, does everyone remember the housing crash in 2008-2009? Well, Gary (along with most of the independent contractors of that time) ended up declaring bankruptcy and having to start over. But, start over he did. But Gary did not just go right back at the same process. Now, he has carved himself out a niche where he helps individuals to build their own homes and do the work themselves. Basically, they are their own contractor. This saves them huge money as compared to the normal way of doing things. You did not have much in the way of assets, correct? Now, you help individuals to build their own homes. How difficult a process is that? But you offer coaching, of sorts, to help individuals build their own homes. What kind of training and resources do you provide for them? Naturally, I know you probably won’t travel to far from home… but do you do anything online in addition to in person consulting? Gary, this is so interesting. If someone wanted more information on the services and training you offer, how can someone get in touch with you? I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below. I know this type of program that Gary McCormick has put together may not be for everyone. My wife would probably live in the car if I tried to build her a house! Amen! Don’t shout me down when I’m preaching good. I know my calling – and being a home builder is not it. Amen! Of course, I’m being silly. Gary is here to help you coordinate, sub-contract out the work that needs to be done, teach you how to do the work you can do yourself – all with the goal of helping you to accomplish and achieve your dream of building your own home – at a fraction of the cost. Amen! Finding the land, coordinating the work, purchasing materials – it all goes into plan. I want to encourage you to drop down into the show notes, use the information there to reach out to Gary McCormick and see if he is able to help you. It doesn’t cost you to find out IF he can help you… but it could cost you tens of thousands of dollars if you don’t. Amen! Get in touch with Gary McCormick right now…today. Amen! Gary, thank you for taking the time to come on the program and share with us about this great service you are providing. I appreciate you time today. Folks, that is all the time we have for today. For Gary McCormick and myself, this is Pastor Bob reminding you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO! <h2 style="font-weight:...

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

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

Business Owner or Business Operator  Robert Poole pt 2 How many of you are running a business?  Now, don’t get hung up on that term, “running a business.”  If you are working for a company, you are “running a business.” You are trying to do your job, obtain recognition, pay raises and job security. You’re in the business of promoting yourself. Amen. If you are in full time ministry – I guarantee you are operating a business. If you are self-employed – you are running a business. If you are in the corporate world, you are running a business. Basically, unless you are already in Heaven and have left this earth, you are in the process of “running a business.” Amen! Don’t shout me down when I’m preaching good! Our guest today is Robert Poole, a West Point graduate, and because of that, of course, he is a former Army officer. He has worked in Commercial and Residential real estate; in corporate recruiting, and investment sales – all prior to co-founding “Total Business Results,” a B2B cold calling, appointment setting and lead generation marketing company. As an experienced business to business marketer, Robert Poole and his marketing business was thriving. They specialized in cold call marketing for businesses for more than 22 years. Then, unexpectedly, he lost his business partner and found himself now running the company, by himself, with the workload that usually kept two people busy. We can understand how that king of stress would rapidly build up to a dangerous level, with not enough time in the day – every day - and how that would drastically affect his personal life as well. But, he found himself drawing closer to God and, as usually is the case, God opened a way to untie himself from the day to day operations of the business and become an “owner” of the business instead of an “operator” of the business. He now helps other entrepreneurs make that transition from “operator” to “owner” and gain that free time – and if you’re honest with yourself, is probably the reason you entered the business world anyway! Amen! Praise God! I know I can use this information we are going to learn today. Amen!  Come on!  I know I’m not alone out there.. Praise God! This is part two - and the conclusion - of a great two part interview that I KNOW will bless you! How does social media promotions tie into business to business marketing in this day and time we live in? Your email marketing services are tied together with your outbound calling program.  How do you use these methods to actually get in front of a decision maker that may not respond to traditional promotions, such as social media, etc.? Online meetings are used a lot today. Take this interview for example. You’re in Arizona and I’m in Maryland. It is just cost effective not to have to travel across the country to accomplish what we can do in online. Amen! The question I have for you is, how can you use this method on online meetings to create that “personal connection” that you discuss in your videos? Let’s discuss the terms, “owner” and “operator.” Can you share the differences with us so we can grasp what you are helping people with? <p style="font-weight:...

Help me welcome to the program, Robert Poole!  Praise God!  Robert, thank you for taking the time to join us today! I do appreciate it! The first question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Robert Poole?” As we get started, I want to thank you for your time in military service. I try to recognize every veteran we have on the program because, as we discussed prior to starting the recording, my twelve years in the military is still a very big part of who I am today – and I just enjoy talking to other vets who are blessing others in what they do as well. So thank you for making that sacrifice of that part of your life. Let’s jump to the big upset in your life that got you where you’re at today. You lost your longtime business partner in 2017 and that changed your trajectory for both, your business and your life. Can you share some of the details and how this affected you, personally and professionally? <p

He had already become addicted to alcohol by the time he was 12 years old.

This led him to becoming hooked on drugs and even found himself homeless.He eventually was arrested and then given the option to either attend rehab or go to prison.He made the correct choice and went to rehab. Eventually, he was able to obtain a special good conduct waiver and reenlisted in the Army. He spent a total of 24 years in military service.&nbsp;But even that was not without mishap. I’ll let him tell the story on that…On that infamous day of 9-11, Richard, after seeing the tragedy that had unfolded, made the decision that he was going to change his life forever.

Vertical Momentum Resiliency Richard Kaufman pt 1&nbsp;Let me ask you a question…Have you ever failed in life? Have you ever done things you are not proud of?&nbsp;How did you deal with it?For many, it can turn to violence. It can turn to drugs. It can turn to alcohol. It can turn into purely destructive habits. Eventually, it turns inward even more and becomes self-destructive. Often to the point of no return. People just loose hope and give up.My guest and I are here today to tell you, you don’t have to give in to those temptations and succumb to destruction.Richard Kaufman’s father left when he was just 3 years old.

Eventually, he was able to obtain a special good conduct waiver and reenlisted in the Army. He spent a total of 24 years in military service.&nbsp;But even that was not without mishap.

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

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

The Coming – David Heeren In a time where the moral compass of our society seems to be spinning out of control, where every headline brings news that shakes the very foundation of our beliefs, we find ourselves asking: What's next? Where do we find hope and guidance in these tumultuous times? Our guest today is David Heeren, author of “The Coming: Footpath to the End of the Age.” This book offers us a beacon of light in this perceived darkness. His book is not just another commentary on the state of the world; it's a journey, using allegories, and provides us a narrative that resonates with the very core of our spiritual being. Amen! David's work taps into the growing sentiment that our world is on the cusp of significant change. Are we living in the last of the last days? Through David’s allegorical storytelling, he confronts this decline in morality, a topic that's on the minds of many in our nation and across the globe. But here’s the twist – David's narrative doesn't just wallow in the troubles of our times; it seeks to uplift, to reassure, and to empower. Amen! As you listen today, prepare yourselves for a conversation that’s not only thought-provoking - but also soul-stirring. David’s perspective is unique – he doesn't just analyze the tribulations we face; he provides a pathway through them. His message is clear: “Be anxious about nothing” – not even the Tribulation.  Amen! In this hour, we will explore the depths of David's allegory, unravel the messages woven into his narrative, and discuss how his book might just be the guide we need in these uncertain times. Whether you're deeply spiritual, seeking answers, or simply curious about the moral direction of our world, this is an episode you cannot afford to miss. David has been on our program a few times over the last couple of years, discussing the end-time topics of which we are all looking at. His books, layout clear road signs for believers to not only survive – but thrive in these end days. Amen! For the best part of the last 20 years, David has been studying the Bible and other references. He is the author of several books and, like I said, today he is here to share all about his book, “ Help me welcome back to the program, David Heeren. David, it is so good to talk with you again! For the sake of those that may not have heard our prior interviews, I think the last one was episode 1083, back in May of 2022.  But for those that may not have heard us before, share with in your own words, “Who is David Heeren?” Alright, let’s dive into this.  Your book “The Coming: Footpath to the End of the Age,” why did you write this book and why do you think it is needful now? This book is written in a fictional format. The two main characters are, basically, “on the run” from government forces trying to keep everyone in check. Share with us the reason you used this type of fictional format to share the message in your book? You have identified some things in the celestial realm that could be pointing to the soon return of Jesus. Would you share some of those things with us? I know there is an asteroid names “Apophis” that is scheduled for a “near miss” in a few...

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

How women can tap into their “God-sized faith for Godly women.”  Can you discuss a little bit about that and how you help them to do so? We discussed a little bit last time about how “sensitive” people are today – to basically everything. They get offended if you tell them it’s cold outside. How can someone apply their God-given passions to everyday life - without offending anyone? Why is trying to "save souls" hard on us? Not just hard on us, but also it can be hard on others. What should we be doing instead? Marnie, this has been so interesting. You have 14 or 15 books out there. How can someone find them and order them? I take it they are on Amazon, correct?

The Formula for Knowing God’s Will Mike Snyder Everyone comes to a moment in life where they are at a cross roads. They know they need to do “something.” They are just not sure what that something is. It could be a career choice. It could be to leave one job and take another. It could be about who to marry or not to marry. It could be a life changing decision that will impact you for the rest of your life! At times like that, we often here believers talk about, “knowing God’s Will.”  You will hear things like, “I’m seeking God’s will in this matter…” or “I’m waiting to hear from God on what I should do…” Wouldn’t it be great to know… and yes, I’m going to say this word… a “FORMULA” to help you determine and to KNOW God’s Will for your life?  Of course it would! But, did you know it’s not very hard to discover the “formula” to “know God’s Will?”  Amen! Our guest today has released a new book that will help us to do just that! Glory to God! Mike Snyder is our guest today. He is a retired Marine Corps Lt. Colonel, a graduate of the Marine Corps Command and Staff College, a graduate of the U.S. Space Command in Space Operations. He is currently with Raptor USA, a strategic marketing and consulting firm that works with middle-market principles and their teams nationwide. He is also a managing partner at RSM Marketing, a leader in providing outsourced marketing department resources to entrepreneurial, middle market growth companies nationally. He is also the author of two books, ‘The Great Marketing Lie” which he coauthored with Bruce Rowley and “The Formula for Knowing God’s Will for Christians, Agnostics and Atheists,” which has just been released. Amen! Today, we will be discussing, of course – “The Formula for Knowing God’s Will.” Help me welcome to the program, Mike Snyder! Mike, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to join us today. I do appreciate it. The first question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Mike Snyder?” I want to cover something in your background.  I know you were working in the Public Affairs Office for the Pentagon, the Marine Corps, etc., during the time of 9-11.  I worked as a Public Affairs officer for the state police department I was in. My major incidents were usually traffic fatalities, police involved shootings, things like that – and that was hectic enough!  I knew I could not provide information to the public until I had verified the sources and the information I had and then had to get that cleared from above for release. How chaotic was it to try and provide verifiable information amidst all of that was happening on 9-11?  Because you had to deal with information that the Joint Chiefs were needing and feeding that information to the President?  Just give us a glimpse of what true chaos is like in that environment… Why do people struggle to know God’s Will in the first place? You share there are some “common threads” that support your conclusion that a “formula for life” works. You say it is “by design.” So if we implement these formulas, we will get standardized results? Is that what you are saying? And this works for any person? <p style="font-weight:...

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

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

Putting pressure on the United States Government to finally admit they do have an ET investigation program. Amen! It’s not often that we have a candidate for Governor come on the program to share this information with us.

He is the past co-host of the “Truthbusters LIVE” podcast on the Triple T Network and he is now in post-production of his documentary, “The Grey Area.” Amen!  He is now running as a replacement ballot for the Secretary of State for Illinois as a Libertarian Candidate. Amen! This is part two of a fascinating interview! I want to transition now to your documentary research for “The Grey Area.” Where did you first go for information to research for your documentary? How did you try to do your own authentication of this video you are referring to? What were some of the things that just “did not add up” to what you were discovering and what the government was saying? When will you be releasing your documentary? Is there a book coming out about this as well? How can someone get in touch with you? I’ll put links to all of this down below… Folks, if you have any information on this topic and can send it along to Jon Stewart for possible inclusion in his upcoming documentary, please reach out to him using the link below.

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

Living on the Narrow Path  Billy Williams pt 2 In Matthew chapter seven, Jesus told us to be careful on which path we choose to follow. His advice: “Take the narrow path.”  That is what we will be discussing today. Amen! With so many religious doctrines floating around out there right now, living on the “Narrow Path” is definitely needed to keep our feet on the right path to salvation. Amen! Our guest today is the author of a book titled, “The Narrow Path.” Pastor Billy Williams was raised in Los Angeles.  His story did not start off with what most people will think is blessed. He was SOLD as a baby. Amen.  He suffered many disappointments over his life. Rejection being one of them that he had to conquer. Amen. A US Army Veteran, Pastor Billy Williams is now in the Army of God. He is the pastor of an online church called, “Unity Christian Fellowship” in New Mexico.  He also has television program called, “Living the Narrow Path”. He is here today to talk about his book, “Living on the Narrow Path” and how that is especially important with all that is happening right now in this world in which we live. This is part two of our interview. How and why did you get started in media ministry? You share that when things look tough, we should never give up – but continue to strive for the high mark which is in Christ Jesus. Amen!  Share about how you encourage people with that message… What do you see happening today that reinforces the need for that message to continue to be broadcast far and wide? Pastor, this has been so interesting. What is your message you would like to leave with our audience today? If someone wants to obtain a copy of your book, “Living on the Narrow Path,” how can they do that? Is it on Amazon? If someone would like to reach out to you, to ask a question or perhaps do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you? If someone is in the New Mexico area, how can they watch or listen to your program? Of course, they can tap into your website to watch or listen, correct? I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below. Folks, this day and time we are living in is growing darker, in the natural, every single day. Think about… the COVID pandemic; the recession, inflation, wars and rumors of wars… now, Israel is surrounded by her enemies.  Does any of this sound familiar? We need to continue to preach the Gospel far and wide and share it with as many people as possible. Pastor Billy Williams is doing just that. Amen! I encourage you to drop down into the show notes and reach out to him. Reach out and listen to his programing. Be sure to order a copy of his great book, “Living on the Narrow Path.” Amen!

Spiritual Update on The War in Israel TS Wright As we watch Israel battle the Hamas terrorists and try to eradicate this evil threat from their midst, it is amazing to me to see the amount of anti-Semitism being waged against Israel. Israel was not the ones who launched an unprovoked attack against families, raping and killing women and teenage girls, beheading babies, ripping babies from their mothers wombs and doing things that would amount to “crimes against humanity” if it was anywhere else except, it seems like, warring against Israel. Things are changing on the ground in this war, almost on a daily basis. Unfortunately, there is also a time delay between when we record these interviews and discussing things as we see them today – and the actual airing of these episodes. We are trying to get this information out to the you as fast as possible, but what is really important is not the “what is happening now” portion of the interviews – but what does it mean in the “big picture” of “End Time” scenarios. To help us with this discussion about these topics, I’ve invited our good friend, TS Wright back on the program today. Amen! Scott Wright is a prophecy expert and author of the God Centered Concept Journal. He is back today to discuss the events happening right now in Israel and, as I said, relating it to the “big picture” of End Time Events. Help me welcome back to the program, Scott Wright.  Scott, it’s great to have you back on again today. A lot more has happened since we last talked about a week ago. Israel has now launched their ground campaign and moving into the Gaza Strip. They are launching more bombing campaigns than ever before prior to them moving into an area to conduct ground operations. I heard one commentator relate to the exact opposite of a “blitzkrieg” operation in WWII.. he called a “slow creep.” They are only moving about 100 yards at a time. Bombing and destroying the buildings in front of them. They then move into the area and begin a search, discovering entrances to the tunnel system and then moving down into the tunnels. From what I can relate to, they are pushing Hamas out of these areas or destroying them if they stay. This “slow creep” is also allowing civilians to try and flee the area as well, limiting the number of unintended casualties. Have you heard anything about this? This is war. War is terrible. Unfortunately, in war, there are non-combatants who will die or they will be injured. War is not meant to be “neat and tidy.” It is a last resort because it takes casualties on both sides. Israel has bent over backwards trying to appease Hamas, Hezbollah and these other factions. But this unprovoked attack that murdered over 1300 Israelis went over what they could tolerate any longer. I believe last time we were on, we discussed and equivalent number, based on the population comparison between the United States and Israel, would be if a neighboring country which we were having an issue with, snuck in and killed over 50,000 of our citizens overnight. If that happened, what would the United States be forced to do? We’d deal with it. Quickly. Decisively. There would be nobody that could tell us to “be nice and send them aid.” This is what Israel has had to remind the United States of recently. What are your thoughts on this? The last time

The Blue Cord Karen Bijjani There was a time in this country when we trained, equipped and sent missionaries into the far reaches of the world as witnesses for Christ. Their success was astounding. But now, we see the Islamic faith making huge inroads into the people groups of, what we refer to as, the “10-40 Window.” Now, these same nations are sending their Islamic practices into the Western nations and, as they do so, we can see the Christian Faith weakening here. In fact, they refer to us as the “Great Satan.” Does that shock you?  It shouldn’t. We have let our Faith in God and in Jesus slip to the point where immorality runs rampant in this nation. This nation is the #1 promoter of pornography, drugs, etc. So much so that now, other nations look to us as needing to hear the Gospel. In that light, I want to bring you someone today who is still faithful in reaching across other cultures. Sharing her Faith with people of other Faiths. Karen Bejjani grew up in America’s heartland, basically unaware of the faiths in other cultures around the world. She was a successful business woman, climbing the corporate ladder of success. Then, in 2011, she and her husband Renod, launched iHOPE Ministries.  iHOPE Ministries comes alongside the Church to inspire and empower people every day Christians to share their faith with people of other faiths. Amen! Through the efforts of iHOPE Ministries, thousands of people have become Jesus followers across the world. God is making an extraordinary impact through ordinary Christians – and doing it through iHOPE Ministries. Karen is also the author of a great book, “The Blue Cord: Connecting Your Faith with Purpose.” She also hosts a podcast by the same name and the ministry also has some training materials and courses as well. Help me welcome to the program, Karen Bejjani.  Karen, thank you for coming on the program today to share all about your ministry. I do appreciate it. The first question I always start with is this… Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Karen Bejjani?” Your husband was a Christian living in a Muslim country. Share a little bit about his upbringing and the persecution he endured. This persecution gave him a true hatred of Muslims, correct? How did his story affect you when you first heard it? From what I understand, he realized the Middle East and North Africa shifted from a Christian heritage to 99% Muslim – but that was not all. He lived in those areas and now he started seeing the trends in Western nations – just as I alluded to in the opening, correct? Your background was not in ministry. What was the impetus that the Lord used to get you started doing what you are doing now in ministry? Have you always been so outspoken and courageous about sharing your Faith? Share with us some of the teachings and outreaches that iHOPE Ministries sponsors… But, not everyone is evil. Not everyone truly understands what their faith truly represents. What should we know about people of other faiths who are living here among us that you have learned over the...

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

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

More Mentoring Nancy Lindgren pt 2 Mentoring can take many different forms. For some, it means coaching. For others, it is someone who can point them in the right direction and nothing more. For others, it involves hands on instruction and others simply assigning tasks that teach a person how to do things they desire to achieve. For Christians, it can also involve learning how to walk closer to God. How to fulfill our life’s calling. How to help others. It definitely involves know what God’s plan is for our lives. Amen! Joining us today is Nancy Lindgren is a national speaker, author, and the Founder and CEO of MORE Mentoring, whose mission is to inspire women to love and encourage others through prayer-focused mentoring. Nancy has authored/co-authored a series of seven books called “Together — A Mentoring Guide for Mentors &amp; Mentees.” She has also created a process for churches wanting to start a mentoring ministry and a course for training mentors. Nancy has over 35 years of experience in mentoring and she loves coaching and consulting with those who desire to grow in their mentoring relationships. Nancy is also the author of “Mentoring Made Real: The Power of Authentic Connection.”  This is her latest book and one which we will share a little from today. Amen! This is part two of a great two part interview! You also help churches to begin their own mentorship training programs, correct?  Can you share a little about that for our listeners? Let’s shift gears a little and talk about your latest book, “Mentoring Made Real: The Power of Authentic Connection.”  Why did you feel the time was now to write and publish this book? One of the things you talk about in your book is the “Four Pillars of Mentoring.” Can you explain those four pillars for us? Love Listen Encourage Pray In your book, “Mentoring Made Real,” you also discuss three more key words:  COME, BE, MOVE.”  Can you explain these terms for us? You also share stories and testimonies from those you have helped to mentor over the years. Is there a story in there that you could briefly share with our listeners that demonstrates the power of mentorship? Nancy, this has been so interesting. How can someone order their own copy of your book, “Mentoring Made Real: The Power of Authentic Connection?”  Is it on Amazon? If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or to perhaps to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you? I’ll put links to all of this down in the show notes below. Folks, as you have heard today, mentoring is more than just teaching somebody something. Amen.  It is making them understand you care about them. You want to help them, basically, help themselves to help others as well. Glory to God! That is what the Bible is all about, isn’t it?  How other people, normal human beings just like you and I, accepted the call on their life and started to serve God by somehow and someway, helping others. Amen! Nancy Lindgren has put together these resources to help you achieve YOUR God given goal as well. This book, “Mentoring Made Real: The Power of Authentic Connection,” could be the first step on that path...

Help me welcome to the program, Nancy Lindgren. Nancy, I want to thank you for taking the time to come on the program and join us today to talk about this great book and what you are doing to help the Body of Christ. Thank you. First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Nancy Lendrgin?” I read that you live in a town that is the “closest to Heaven in the United States.” Is that correct? How did you get started in Christian mentoring? The Lord gave you the name, “MORE Mentoring.” What does MORE stand for? You have various mentoring programs, depending on where a person is being led by the Lord. Share with us a little bit about what a person, perhaps someone who is being led to start their own mentoring program, how you can help them in that area. Maybe helping them to avoid the pitfalls you had to experience in starting out. What do you have for someone like that? If someone has, let’s just say, “heard the call of God” to become a mentor – but they feel “unqualified” to be effective – how are you able to help them in that area? Drop down into the show notes and click the links right there to get in touch with Nancy and get her help in creating your own mentoring program… and to purchase this awesome book, “Mentoring Made Real: The Power of Authentic Connection.”  Do it right now, while you are thinking about it. In fact, at the time this interview is being released, we are in the Christmas season. This book would make a great gift for someone you know as well. Why not order two, three or more copies and sow them into someone’s life right now!  They will be blessed and YOU will be blessed because you are sowing a seed into their life and possible future ministry!  Praise God! You never know how God will use the seed you sow when you sow this book into someone’s life. Amen!  In fact, buy one for your pastor and let him find out how Nancy can...

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

Hidden Fruit Robert Bass pt 1 Robert experienced, not one, but two, major motorcycle accidents. This served to, let’s just say, “get his attention” focused on things that matter. The result, was answering the Call of God for his life. He started to write books and entered the ministry. Now, he is a podcaster, speaker, author of three books and a ministry leader. His latest book is “Hidden Fruit: Receive All That God Has for You.” Help me welcome to the program, Pastor Robert Bass. Pastor, thank you for taking the time to come on the program today. I appreciate you taking the time from your busy schedule to join us. First question I always ask is this… Other than that brief introduction, can you share with us in your own words, “Who is Robert Bass?” I’ve had a couple of life changing events that happened in my life prior to me answering the call of God – so I know how dramatic those experiences are. It seems like the entire world is stacked against you until there is nowhere else to turn – but look up. Even then, at least in my life, there was no “miraculous turnaround.” But things started to take on a different perspective and, one step at a time, my life began to transform. I’m not saying “God made this happen” type of thing. I PUT MYSELF into the position that THINGS happened. The scripture comes to mind that you will “Reap what you sow.” Even if we don’t want to reap what we have sown. How was that with you? I understand there were a couple of motorcycle accidents that finally got your attention. Is that right? What transformed your perspective on life through those experiences? You said in an interview recently that people can be in a situation that is not peaceful – but you can still come away with a sense of peace. Share about that statement with us… In Pastor Robert Bass’s book, “Hidden Fruit: Receive All That God Has for You,” you will find out how to live a fruitful life. A life of “Love, Joy, Peace,” and more. Amen! Pastor Bass has written this book as a Father would write a letter to his children whom He dearly loves. This book, if taken in that context, will help you to be healed of your past, your past mistakes, your poor choices – all of it – and to start to produce GOOD FRUIT! Amen!  This book will help you to draw closer to God and to fulfill your destiny. Drop down into the show notes, right now, and click the link there to purchase your copies today. In fact, get one for your pastor, too! I know he will appreciate it and the fact that you did if to be a blessing to him as well. Amen!

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

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

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

How the Church Shoots Our Wounded Matthew Karchner pt 1 Today in the news, we see a massive attack on Christianity. It is coming from all sides. It is happening in government, in education, in public, in private and the devil is relentless in his efforts to keep people in bondage and to silence the Church and anyone who claims Faith in Christ. One of the most prolific attacks on Faith comes from the LGBTQ+ community and those who endorse and support this type of behavior. Our guest today was part of that community for many years – that is until he found Christ! Amen! Today, we have an incredible guest with us, someone whose journey from a life deeply entwined with homosexuality - but has now been delivered, saved, called and serves as a devoted missionary for Christ overseas. Amen! Matthew Karchner experienced a profound transformation that can only be described as supernatural. For many years, he navigated the complexities of his life, searching for identity and purpose in all the wrong places. Drugs, alcohol, even thoughts of prostitution. He faced challenges and questions that many of us may not be able to relate to – but there are many people out there, some listening right now, that can. Amen! Matt was working for PNC Bank for 15 years. But in having been delivered from the gay lifestyle in 2010, he was forced by PNC Bank to support the LGBTQ agenda. To that, he refused. His letter of resignation stated, “I have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back!” AMEN!  Glory to God! Once chief among gay sinners, Matt now calls the LGBTQ to repentance and Faith in Christ! He earned an Masters of Arts in Theological Studies from Liberty University and is on target to earn his Masters of Divinity soon. Amen! Now, Matthew is now a missionary and church pastor in Cambodia, sharing the message of hope and transformation with others who are also seeking their own path to redemption. His story reminds us that, with Faith, Hope and Love – and Jesus Christ – even the most challenging circumstances can be overcome. His ministry is called, “Castaway Ministries” and he is the author of the book, “The Church: We Shoot the Wounded.” This is part two of an amazing two part interview with Pastor Matthew Karchner! What would you like to see pastors and churches do better concerning these situations? I don’t know the answer to this question, so that’s why I’m asking it. Do you know what the recidivism rate is for homosexuals that have been delivered and the fell back into that lifestyle? I ask that because we see it blasted all over the media when a pastor falls from Grace. The media will give it headlines far and wide and people will cry out for greater accountability, etc. Has this sort of thing happened to you because of your background? Where churches and other Christians don’t “trust you” because they think you may backslide and, I don’t know, take others with you? And this is after you’ve been delivered. After you’ve been saved and forgiven.  I believe there are some in the church who have committed adultery, done drugs, committed robberies, etc. They’ve been forgiven and accepted back – but why do you think they are more suspicious, not just of you, but of others who struggled with homosexuality? <p style="font-weight:...

I do appreciate it! First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Matthew Karchner?” Your testimony goes back to a little dumpy apartment in Philly. Share with us, the PG version of what life was like for you back then and what happened that brought you to Christ… Your testimony should be shared far and wide and applauded by churches across America!  This is what they pray for, right? Is that what happened? Why do believe they do not want to celebrate and share your testimony or the testimony of others with a similar background as yours? What did the Lord teach you while you were going through this kind of rejection? What would you like to see pastors and churches do better concerning these situations? I don’t know the answer to this...

Current Events and The End Times TS Wright Scott Wright is back with us today. Scott has been teaching us about the different ages of the Church and significant things the Bible and history has to say about them. Amen. He has also been helping us to understand the modern day church age, the Names of God and with modern day issues and comparing these things to what the Bible says is about to happen. Amen! And that is something we all should be interested in. Scott is also a podcaster and has a truly great podcast called, “The God Centered Concept,” as well. You really need to listen – and subscribe – to his podcast.  Amen! He has also published a journal called, “God Centered Concept Journal: Making God’s Word My Ways.” We’ve had numerous sessions with Scott over the last few months, too numerous to go back and discuss the content of all of those episodes. So, if you missed any of them, I’d highly recommend you go back and listen and catch up. Amen!  That would be well worth the effort and time – because TIME is running short. Amen! Help me welcome back to the program, our good friend, Scott Wright!  Scott it’s so good to have you back today, my friend! Today, we are going to be talking about what is happening right now in the world with what is written in the Book of the Revelation. Last time we discussed the Names of God. Today, we will focus on Israel and prophecy. You refer to them as “puzzle pieces” that, as they come together, show us the “BIG PICTURE.” So, let’s go over some of those puzzle pieces. First, let’s start with Israel. That is a big thing. Share with us some of the dates that are special concerning Israel and prophecy… 1917 – Balfour Declaration 1948 – Nation declared a nation by the UN and recognized by the USA 1950 – Right to Return 1967 – 6 Day War and retakes the land and Jerusalem 2020 – Abraham Accords This is especially concerning about Dubai and the nation of the United Arab Emirates. This City is matching the description of Babylon. They now have relations with Israel. What about the other Muslim nations in that region of the world? How does all of this relate to the Third Temple? I have seen many ministers that look at prophecy say that a nuclear confrontation is almost inevitable. And this confrontation will probably happen sooner rather than later. What are your thoughts on this subject? Scott, this is so interesting. As you know, I love studying prophecy and the end times. Are you talking about any of this on your podcast? Tell us about your podcast and how people can listen? What will we be discussing next time?   (The wedding banquet). Your book is available on Amazon, “God Centered Concept Journal: Making God’s Word My Ways.”   Correct? Folks, these events Scott has been sharing with us today are not...

The Heart Healer: A Hairstylist Story Cyndy Bartelli There are so many people in the world today that are hurting. Hurting in different ways, but hurting in their hearts that affect everything else. Not heart aches, but actual, hurting hearts. Pain that is deep rooted and affects them each and every day. What can be done for folks that are hurting like this? Well, that is where our guest today comes in… Cyndy Bartelli is our guest today. She was on before, you can listen to that episode in our archives. It was episode 1336. In that episode, she gave us some great background on her ministry efforts and all about her book – “The Heart Healer: God’s Response to Personal Prayer in a Hurting World,” and her study guide – “The Heart Healer Study Guide,”Amen! But today, she is back for part two of a six part series we are doing on this very important work. There are so many hurting people, many listening to us right now, that will benefit from hearing real life examples the Cyndy is doing. Amen!  Cyndy is here to minister to you with some examples of people who were in situations that may be similar to yours, maybe not exactly the same – but all of the examples are of people who are hurting. Amen. Help me welcome back to the program, Cyndy Bartelli. Cyndy, thank you agreeing to come back on and minister to those again today who are hurting. I appreciate your time. For those who may not have listened to our prior interview, can you briefly share with us “Who is Cyndy Bartelli?” And give us a basic introduction about your book, “Heart Healer.” Today, we will be sharing some background and information on one of the people that you have helped along the way. This person has an amazing story of a heart healing, just like Sonya and Jesse, whom we have already shared about. Today, we are going to talk about “your hair dresser,” correct? I’ll just let you take it from there… Have you followed up with her since then? I know there are people listening to us right now that may be in the same or very similar situation as your hair dresser. Would you pray with and for them right now and help to bring “heart healing” to them with the prayer you shared with your hair dresser? Before we go, I want you to share with us about your ministry, “Vertical Hearts” and how this ministry is helping you to spread the message of God’s extraordinary Love and ability to heal the broken places in people’s hearts…can you share a little bit for us? How can they support Vertical Hearts and your outreach? I appreciate you sharing that. I also appreciate you sharing the story you shared with us today about your hair dresser as well. If someone wanted to purchase your book, “The Heart Healer: God’s Response to Personal Prayer in a Hurting World,”how can they do that? Is it on Amazon? Cyndy, this has been so interesting. If someone would like to reach out to you, to ask a question or maybe even order your book, or possibly do an interview...

Beauty Beyond the Thorns  Darci Steiner Many people have led lively, energetic, productive lives and have had nary any health problems. Others have been plagued from the beginning with health issues. Still more have lead healthy lives and then been plagued with health issues. But, despite what group you may have just put yourself in, every single person, myself included, can live a full, productive life – regardless of health problems. It is GOD living within us that matters. It is living a Spirit filled and Spirit led life that will determine our life fulfillment.  I’m not saying it is easy… Pastor Bob has had his health issues ever since my accident in 2007. But God is still God and Jesus is still on the Throne and by His stripes, I am healed. Amen! That being said, I do know there are now limitations to what I can do that are amplified a bit, if I can call it that, not only in getting older, but due to the accident and subsequent surgeries, etc. What I’m trying to say is this – JESUS IS LORD.  Amen!  What He did for one, He will do for you. Our guest today has also experienced debilitating health issues – and “By His Stripes, she was HEALED!”  Amen! Darci Steiner is an author, speaker and nutritionist. She has served in full-time ministry and assisted with church plants in Denver, CO and Los Angeles, CA. Back in 2003, Darci nearly died after a series fall down the stairs in her home. This fall left her seriously disabled. During her recovery, she applied herself and earned a Master of Science in Holistic Nutrition and implemented natural remedies into her diet which helped to save her life. Darci became disabled a second time after a foot injury in 2018. During this time, she authored a award-winning book titled, “Beauty Beyond the Thorns: Discovering Gifts in Suffering.” In this book, Darci speaks about how God uses suffering in our lives to bring about Spiritual Healing. To learn more about this important subject and learn more about this great book, help me welcome to the program, Darci Steiner!  Darci, it is a blessing to be able to speak with you and I want to thank you for taking the time to join us today. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Darci Steiner? Let’s go back before the fall down the stairs.  Who was Darci Steiner back then? What kind of injuries did you suffer after falling down the stairs? How did this impact your life and your family at that time? In your book, “Beauty Beyond the Thorns,” you share how God provides hope and direction for His people in times of suffering. Can you explain that for us? How did your injury transform the way you looked at life and God’s plans for you? You share that “Goals are to help people to understand that suffering is never wasted.”  Can you go a little deeper on that for us? You were able to fully recover from your ordeal through prayer and nutrition and, obviously, lot’s of physical therapy, exercise, etc. Can you share with us how readers of your book will learn how to do the same thing? There are examples of others in the Bible who suffered greatly. Their stories also...

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

The Ten Commandments  TS Wright pt 1 Today, we are going to go into detail about the 10 Commandments. No, I do not have Charlton Heston here today… but we do have someone, maybe not as famous, but definitely an expert on the 10 Commandments. That person is none other than our good friend Scott Wright! Amen! Scott, welcome back as we continue on this quest of digging deeper into the Kingdom of God and, as you put it, the “God Centered Concept!” Amen! Well, I guess the best way to start is to say that there are actually more than 10 Commandments, because Jesus gave us a greater commandment than the 10 contained in the Old Testament. Am I right? Tell us about the primary commandments being number 1, 2 and 10. The Commandments are a Spiritual warfare guide to keep us focused on God and not the devil. The “attachment principle” is summed up in the 10th Commandment. “Covertness is what leads to the Commandments 3-9.” So Commandments 3-9 give the details about numbers 1, 2, and 10 and what it looks like when you are not focused on God? A lot of people say the Book of Deuteronomy as “The Book of the Law.” But you say it is much more than that. Why? You said last time that the First 5 books talk about Jesus and the Book of Revelation simply reflects the first 5 books. Can you explain that for us again? Be sure to come back for part TWO in the very next episode!
