The Joe Rooz Show

What would George Washington think if he suddenly returned to America in 2026? Would he recognize the country he helped create—or wonder how far it had drifted from the principles of its founding? Author William Gensburger joins Joe for a wide-ranging conversation inspired by The Path of Duty and Honor, the political thriller he co-authored with bestselling author J.C. Ryan. The novel brings George Washington into modern America and uses fiction to explore questions surrounding the Constitution, civic responsibility, political division, American history, and the future of the country. But the conversation doesn't stop with Washington. Joe and William explore America's growing political divide, how history is taught and understood, whether the nation has moved away from its founding ideals, and what earlier generations might make of modern American culture. They also venture into William's other projects, including The Quantum Keys, an international thriller series built around technology capable of defeating virtually any digital security system, and A Boy Called Swift, a very different story about a child whose entire life unfolds at an extraordinary pace. The conversation eventually turns to artificial intelligence and the future of writing. William explains how he uses AI as a research and critique tool without allowing it to replace the writer, why human voice still matters, and why technology should support creativity rather than become a substitute for it. Along the way, Joe and William talk storytelling, quantum technology, publishing, shrinking attention spans, political power, constitutional government, American culture, and why good fiction can sometimes ask questions that nonfiction cannot.At the center of it all is one deceptively simple question:If George Washington could see America today, what would he say to us?Guest: William Gensburger Author of The Path of Duty and HonorWilliam Gensburger Official Website: https://www.gensburger.com/ The Path of Duty and Honor: https://www.gensburger.com/The-Path/    Watch Live 7PM CT Watch on Rumble: https://rumble.com/JoeRooz▶️ Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@JoeRooz Website: https://joerooz.com Special thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiExecutive Producer John SeeleyWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?Send Joe a message on #PodMatch: https://www.podmatch.com/member/joeCheck out our partners:Podhome.fmCreative EdgeGet MasterPeace https://masterpeacebyhcs.com/767e544f93fd74ce - Joe "Rooz" Russiellohttps://www.joerooz.com/supporthttps://www.joerooz.com

After more than six months of studying the Book of Revelation chapter by chapter, we have reached the end.In this final installment of our study of the Book of Revelation, Joe examines Revelation Chapters 21 and 22 and what Scripture reveals about eternity: the new heaven and new earth, New Jerusalem, the River of Life, the Tree of Life, the end of the curse, and God's eternal dwelling with His people.Revelation 19 brought us to the conclusion of the Tribulation. Revelation 20 showed us the Millennial Kingdom, Satan's final rebellion, and the Great White Throne Judgment. But Revelation does not end with judgment.It ends with God making all things new.What is the New Jerusalem? Why is there no temple within the city? What does the Bible mean when it says there will be no more death, sorrow, crying, or pain? Why does the Tree of Life appear again after first being introduced in Genesis? And how much can we really know about eternity from what God has revealed in Scripture?Joe explores these questions while also acknowledging the mysteries surrounding Revelation's final chapters and distinguishing between what Scripture states clearly and areas where we can only speculate.Most importantly, this study brings the entire biblical story full circle. Genesis begins with God and man together in a perfect creation. Sin enters, mankind falls, and everything that follows tells the story of what God does about it. Revelation ends with what was lost restored, what sin corrupted made new, and what death took away replaced with life.After 22 chapters, Jesus Christ leaves us with one final promise:“Surely I come quickly.”And John's answer remains the prayer of every believer:“Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.”Join us as we conclude our complete Sunday Bible Study journey through the Book of Revelation.

Life can change in an instant.For award-winning author and poet Linda Drattell, that change came through two life-altering experiences: losing her hearing as an adult and surviving the 2016 terrorist attack in Nice, France. Rather than allowing those events to define her, she transformed them into stories of resilience, humor, hope, and the courage to remain true to herself.In this episode Joe and Linda explore the deeper lessons that emerge from adversity, discuss the pressure society places on people to conform, and examine how writing can become a powerful tool for healing and personal growth.Linda also shares insights into her award-winning poetry, children's literature, and her upcoming satirical novel, The Pecadillos of Philomena Phipps, a story that challenges modern conformity while celebrating individuality.Guest:Linda Drattell (official website): https://lindadrattell.com/The Peccadilloes of Philomena Phipps by Linda Drattell (excerpt / book page): https://lindadrattell.com/new-novel-coming-soon/ Watch Live 7PM CT Watch on Rumble: https://rumble.com/JoeRooz▶️ Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@JoeRooz Website: https://joerooz.com Special thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiExecutive Producer John SeeleyWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?Send Joe a message on #PodMatch: https://www.podmatch.com/member/joeCheck out our partners:Podhome.fmCreative EdgeGet MasterPeace https://masterpeacebyhcs.com/767e544f93fd74ce(00:01:16) Joe introduces Linda and her life-changing story(00:05:50) Living between Barcelona and Colorado(00:07:03) Losing hearing and finding identity through advocacy(00:13:20) Why humor helps carry heavy truths(00:18:20) Moral fault lines, conformity, and being yourself(00:29:54) Writing satire in The Pecadillos of Philomena Phipps(00:39:48) Erasure, deafness, and the need to be seen(00:46:44) Surviving the Nice terror attack and finding hope(00:55:35) Where to find Linda's books and Joe's closing thoughts - Joe "Rooz" Russiellohttps://www.joerooz.com/supporthttps://www.joerooz.com

In this Sunday Bible Study, we step back before diving directly into Revelation Chapter 20 to lay a biblical foundation for understanding the Millennial Kingdom.Together, we examine how Scripture ties together from Revelation 19, Matthew 25, Ezekiel 20, Luke 1, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Romans 8, and many other passages to demonstrate that Christ's thousand-year reign is not an isolated doctrine, but a promise woven throughout the entire Bible.We explore why this kingdom is still future, why it cannot simply be spiritualized away, and how both the Old and New Testaments consistently point to Jesus Christ ruling bodily and righteously from Jerusalem.We also examine the judgments that precede the Kingdom, the future conversion and restoration of Israel, and the physical transformation creation itself will experience when the curse is lifted. From the judgment of the nations to the regeneration of the earth, from peace replacing war to creation itself being renewed, this study shows where Revelation 20 fits within God's prophetic timeline.Whether you're studying Bible prophecy for the first time or continuing your journey through the Book of Revelation, this lesson provides the biblical framework needed before we open Revelation Chapter 20 in our next study and examine Christ's glorious thousand-year reign.️ The Joe Rooz ShowHonest conversations about faith, culture, current events, history, preparedness, and the people shaping our world.

What if becoming more prepared didn't require spending more money?This week on Wednesday's with Wayne, Joe and Wayne explore practical self-reliance, preparedness, and the everyday decisions that can help you build a more resilient lifestyle without breaking the bank. The conversation covers everything from making better use of your property and local resources to building relationships with capable people who can help when times get tough.Wayne shares practical lessons from his own homesteading journey with Rosanna, discussing canning, freeze-drying, smoking fish, beekeeping, gardening, improving pasture, caring for livestock, milling trees, cutting firewood, and even experimenting with herbal remedies like mullein. Rather than treating homesteading as a trend, Wayne explains why it's become a way of life rooted in stewardship, common sense, and long-term thinking. Joe and Wayne also dive into conservation, energy costs, propane backups, route planning, fuel efficiency, utility expenses, and the importance of using what you already have before spending money on what you don't need. Along the way, the conversation takes a few familiar Wednesday rabbit trails, but every stop reinforces the same idea: preparedness isn't just about buying more gear—it's about making smarter decisions with the resources you've already been given.Whether you're an experienced prepper, a homesteader, or simply looking for practical ways to become more self-sufficient, this episode is packed with real-world ideas, thoughtful conversation, and plenty of the easygoing chemistry that has made Wednesday's with Wayne a favorite among Joe Rooz Show listeners.

Artificial intelligence is advancing faster than ever, but beneath the headlines lies a much deeper question:What happens when technology begins to imitate humanity?Tonight, Joe welcomes author Andrew Gillsmith for a thought-provoking conversation exploring artificial intelligence, consciousness, Christianity, and the growing philosophy of transhumanism. Together, they examine the difference between intelligence and consciousness, whether AI could ever possess free will—or even a soul—and why the spiritual questions surrounding technology may prove more important than the technological ones.The discussion also explores Andrew's journey from religious studies into science fiction and the inspiration behind his novel, Our Lady of the Artilects. Along the way, Joe and Andrew examine how speculative fiction can prepare us for real ethical dilemmas, why many modern stories have lost their spiritual foundation, and how faith provides an essential framework for navigating a future increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence.In this episode: Artificial Intelligence and machine consciousness  Can AI ever have a soul?  Christianity and emerging technology  The philosophy of transhumanism  Human identity, free will, and personhood  Ethics of advanced AI  Science fiction as a window into the future Our Lady of the Artilects Faith in an increasingly technological world Whether you're fascinated by artificial intelligence, intrigued by the intersection of science and theology, or simply wondering where today's technology may lead tomorrow, this conversation asks the right questions before the future arrives.Guest Links• Andrew Gillsmith: https://www.incensepunk.com/about• Our Lady of the Artilects: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61306548-our-lady-of-the-artilects• The Deserted Vineyard Series: https://www.goodreads.com/series/381733-the-deserted-vineyard Watch Live 7PM CT Watch on Rumble: https://rumble.com/JoeRooz▶️ Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@JoeRooz Website: https://joerooz.com Special thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiExecutive Producer John SeeleyWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?Send Joe a message on #PodMatch: https://www.podmatch.com/member/joeCheck out our partners:Podhome.fmCreative EdgeGet MasterPeace https://masterpeacebyhcs.com/767e544f93fd74ce(00:01:13) Joe opens the show and frames the AI discussion(00:05:42) Introducing Andrew Gillsmith and his novel(00:07:03) From religious studies to science fiction(00:13:50) Why science fiction needs faith and meaning(00:18:57) Cyberpunk, incense punk, and human struggle(00:21:41) AI, language models, and the illusion of mind(00:30:03) Transhumanism, morality, and the soul(00:44:48) Inside Our Lady of the Ardilex and its future world(00:58:07) Joe reflects on technology, humanity, and the future - Joe "Rooz" Russiellohttps://www.joerooz.com/supporthttps://www.joerooz.com

Preparedness doesn't begin with bunkers and generators—it begins with everyday life.Tonight on our Wednesday's with Wayne, Wayne Rankin joins me for another listener-driven conversation on practical preparedness, homesteading, and self-reliance.Instead of focusing on fear or worst-case scenarios, we answer real questions from listeners about building everyday resilience, stretching the grocery budget, preserving food, gardening, and becoming less dependent on systems we often take for granted.Wayne shares practical advice drawn from years of hands-on experience, covering everything from buying dry goods in bulk and storing food economically to growing herbs and vegetables in small spaces, even if you live in an apartment.We also discuss raising backyard chickens, whether freeze-drying is worth the investment, modern alternatives to traditional food preservation, and why understanding your own home—from electrical breakers to the water shutoff valve—is one of the simplest forms of preparedness.The conversation reinforces a theme we've returned to often on Wednesday's with Wayne: preparedness isn't about panic—it's about stewardship, common sense, and developing practical skills that make your family more capable and more resilient.Whether you own a large homestead or a small apartment, there are meaningful steps you can take today to become more self-reliant. If you've ever wondered where to start, or you've been looking for practical preparedness without the hype, this episode is for you.

When God judges Babylon, the entire world mourns—but heaven rejoices. Why?In this verse-by-verse study of Revelation Chapter 18, we continue our journey through the Book of Revelation by examining the complete destruction of Babylon, the political, economic, and commercial center of the final world system.After identifying the religious Babylon of Revelation 17, this week's study turns to the economic and governmental power behind the revived Roman Empire.

Sunday Bible Study returns to the Book of Revelation as we continue our verse-by-verse study through Revelation 17 and examine one of the most debated passages in biblical prophecy: Mystery Babylon.After witnessing the completion of God's judgment in Revelation 16, the focus now shifts to the spiritual system behind the world's rebellion against God. In this study, we examine the identity of the woman riding the scarlet beast, the symbolism of the seven heads and ten horns, the significance of the seven hills, and the relationship between Babylon, world religion, and the coming Antichrist.The discussion also looks at Babylon's historical roots, the influence of false religion throughout history, the persecution of believers, and why Revelation 17 and 18 separate the religious and political aspects of Babylon's final judgment. Throughout the study, Scripture is compared with Scripture as we seek to understand Bible prophecy within its biblical context.If you're following our ongoing Revelation Bible Study series, this chapter marks an important transition from God's judgments to exposing the religious system that has deceived the nations before Christ's return.

What does real preparedness actually look like?In this week's Wednesday's with Wayne, Joe and Wayne discuss why preparedness is much more than storing food or preparing for disasters. It's about thinking ahead, making wise decisions, becoming more self-reliant, and being ready for the everyday challenges life throws our way.The conversation covers practical topics including:Everyday preparedness Retirement and financial planning Rising costs and inflation Food storage and preserving what you have Fishing, hunting, and self-reliance Emergency power outages Keeping food cold during extended outages Ice, coolers, and simple preparedness tips Why asking questions is one of the best ways to learn preparedness Whether you're new to preparedness or have been living this lifestyle for years, this conversation is a reminder that preparation isn't driven by fear—it's driven by responsibility and common sense.

Artificial intelligence is advancing faster than ever—but the biggest question may not be whether AI can predict the future.It may be who controls it.Tonight, Joe sits down with Jordan Miller, founder of the Satori Network, for a thoughtful conversation about artificial intelligence, decentralized technology, blockchain, prediction systems, and the future of human decision-making.Jordan explains why he believes prediction—not language—is the true measure of intelligence, how decentralized AI differs from centralized models, and why giving a handful of corporations control over artificial intelligence may be one of the defining challenges of our generation.Together they'll explore: What Satori is and how it works  Can AI actually predict future events?  Why decentralization matters  The relationship between AI, blockchain, and human intelligence  The ethical questions surrounding predictive technology  Who should control artificial intelligence?  How emerging technologies may shape truth, communication, and society Whether you're excited about AI, skeptical of the hype, or simply curious about where technology is heading, this conversation offers a balanced look at one of the most important developments of our time.Guest: Jordan Miller Founder, Satori NetworkLearn more:https://satorinet.ioWatch LIVE 7PM CTRumble.com/JoeRoozYouTube.com/@JoeRoozListen LIVE or LATERjoerooz.com or wherever you get your podcasts.

In this Sunday Bible Study, I walk through Revelation 16 and the seven bowls of God’s wrath, picking up where we left off in Revelation 15. We look at the progression of the final judgments poured out on the earth—the sores, the seas and rivers turned to blood, the scorching sun, darkness on the kingdom of the beast, the drying of the Euphrates, the gathering to Armageddon, and the final earthquake and hail.Along the way, I connect these judgments to other passages in Scripture, especially the plagues in Egypt, Malachi 4, and Revelation 14, to show how the Bible fits together and how God’s judgments are declared true and righteous from heaven itself.I also focus on one of the chapter’s sobering themes: even under unmistakable judgment, mankind still refuses to repent. That contrast points us back to the urgency of the present age of grace.For believers, Revelation 16 is a reminder that God is still in control and that His word is unfolding exactly as promised. For anyone not yet saved, the message is simple and urgent: today is still the day of salvation, and the answer is to trust fully in the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.  Watch Live 7PM CT Watch on Rumble: https://rumble.com/JoeRooz▶️ Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@JoeRooz Website: https://joerooz.com Special thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiExecutive Producer John SeeleyWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?Send Joe a message on #PodMatch: https://www.podmatch.com/member/joeCheck out our partners:Podhome.fmCreative EdgeGet MasterPeace https://masterpeacebyhcs.com/767e544f93fd74ce - Joe "Rooz" Russiellohttps://www.joerooz.com/supporthttps://www.joerooz.com

Wayne Rankin was back with me for our Wednesday practical prepping segment after a rough health scare, and we opened with a very real conversation about recovery, resilience, and how structure can keep you steady even when life gets chaotic.From there, Wayne and I dug into the bigger picture he’s seeing: rising costs, shrinking affordability, subscription fatigue, housing pressure, and the growing sense that everyday working people are being squeezed from every angle.We also spent a lot of time on Wayne’s core message of practical preparedness. Instead of fear-based doom prepping, we talked about building a more self-sufficient life a little at a time—food storage, water, off-grid energy, tools, community networks, and cutting unnecessary monthly costs so you can put resources into things you actually own.The big takeaway from this one is simple: get structured, stay ready, and focus on what you can build now rather than waiting until you need it later.  Watch Live 7PM CT Watch on Rumble: https://rumble.com/JoeRooz▶️ Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@JoeRooz Website: https://joerooz.com Special thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiExecutive Producer John SeeleyWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?Send Joe a message on #PodMatch: https://www.podmatch.com/member/joeCheck out our partners:Podhome.fmCreative EdgeGet MasterPeace https://masterpeacebyhcs.com/767e544f93fd74ce(01:13) Joe and Wayne reunite after Wayne's hospital scare(04:15) Data centers, elites, and apocalyptic concerns(09:15) Political fractures and the Iran Israel debate(15:58) COVID reflections and the rise of massive data centers(22:18) Why the American dream feels out of reach(24:32) Wayne's off grid planning and practical preparedness(34:06) Structure, solitude, and resilience through hardship(46:29) Building a self sufficient food system and network(51:10) Subscription fatigue and cutting unnecessary costs(55:38) Five years of supplies and Wayne's farm tour plans - Joe "Rooz" Russiellohttps://www.joerooz.com/supporthttps://www.joerooz.com

In this Bible Study Sunday episode, I took a few minutes to reflect on Father’s Day and the gift of both earthly fathers and our perfect Heavenly Father. I talked about fellowship with the Father through Jesus Christ, the faithfulness that matters more than perfection, and the importance of telling the people we love that we appreciate them while we still can. From there, we opened the King James Bible and continued our study through Revelation, picking up in chapter 15 after last week’s look at the warning of the beast, his mark, and the coming judgment of God. In our study of Revelation 15, we looked at the victorious tribulation saints standing on the sea of glass, the song of Moses as a song of deliverance, and the seven angels preparing to pour out the final judgments that complete the wrath of God. I connected the chapter to Exodus 15, Psalm 118, Isaiah 12, Acts 7, and Daniel 3 to show how Scripture interprets Scripture and how God’s people gain victory through faithfulness, not by avoiding suffering. We closed by focusing on the seriousness of a moment when intercession ends, the importance of prayer in this present age of grace, and why believers should keep praying, keep witnessing, and keep looking up as we prepare to enter Revelation 16 next time. Watch LIVE at 2PM CTRumble.com/JoeRoozYouTube.com/@JoeRooz Watch Live 7PM CT Watch on Rumble: https://rumble.com/JoeRooz▶️ Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@JoeRooz Website: https://joerooz.com Special thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiExecutive Producer John SeeleyWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?Send Joe a message on #PodMatch: https://www.podmatch.com/member/joeCheck out our partners:Podhome.fmCreative EdgeGet MasterPeace https://masterpeacebyhcs.com/767e544f93fd74ce(00:01:04) Welcome and Revelation 15 preview(00:06:05) A Father's Day reflection on earthly and heavenly fathers(00:13:43) Opening prayer and start of Revelation 15(00:16:13) The seven last plagues and the fullness of wrath(00:17:51) Sea of glass, tribulation martyrs, and true victory(00:26:43) The song of Moses as a song of deliverance(00:37:14) Psalms, Isaiah, and the believer's song(00:45:02) The heavenly temple and the seven angels with plagues(00:50:48) Vials of wrath, prayers of saints, and restraint(00:57:37) No intercession in the final judgments(01:05:47) Why prayer and intercession matter right now(01:16:08) Closing summary and preview of Revelation 16 - Joe "Rooz" Russiellohttps://www.joerooz.com/supporthttps://www.joerooz.com

Tonight on The Joe Rooz Show, Joe sits down with author, aerospace reliability engineer, and researcher John Zachary for a fascinating conversation about science, faith, history, and predictive patterns hidden within time itself. John Zachary’s work explores whether biblical prophecy, astronomy, historical timelines, and systems analysis may reveal measurable structures embedded throughout history. Together, Joe and John discuss engineering logic applied to scripture, NASA astronomical data, prophecy and historical timelines, pattern recognition, predictive structures, science vs faith, hidden cycles in history, and whether history itself behaves like a system. Can science and faith speak the same language?Are historical events random — or patterned?And where is the line between legitimate analysis and speculation?This conversation moves beyond traditional theology into a deeper discussion about time, structure, belief, and the search for meaning in human history.Guest: John Zacharyhttps://authorjohnzachary.com  Watch Live 7PM CT Watch on Rumble: https://rumble.com/JoeRooz▶️ Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@JoeRooz Website: https://joerooz.com Special thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiExecutive Producer John SeeleyWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?Send Joe a message on #PodMatch: https://www.podmatch.com/member/joeCheck out our partners:Podhome.fmCreative EdgeGet MasterPeace https://masterpeacebyhcs.com/767e544f93fd74ce(00:02:14) Opening from the Asylum and show setup(00:03:33) Tonight’s premise: data‑driven theology(00:06:55) Guest intro: John Zachary’s engineering lens on prophecy(00:08:55) Early calling and a pivotal ‘anoint’ experience(00:12:05) From curiosity to decades of research(00:13:40) Dating Daniel and Nehemiah with ancient astronomy(00:20:12) Controlled timelines and the 14,000‑day pattern(00:24:44) Numbers, precision, and theology’s timeline(00:27:08) Luke vs. Matthew: different end‑times signs(00:31:12) Why nobody knows the day or the hour(00:34:33) Dead Sea Scrolls, dating Daniel, and skepticism(00:37:52) Biblical numerology around 14,000 and 200(00:40:07) Progressive revelation and the 360‑day constant(00:42:36) Sundays in prophecy and Elephantine papyri(00:46:26) Measuring prophecy with NASA data(00:49:10) Humility in prophecy and limits of prediction(00:50:07) Applying the method to Islam and failed prophecies(00:55:35) Atheism, multiverse, and probability arguments(01:00:13) UAPs, faith, and repeating patterns(01:01:04) AD 70: Titus, the temple, and ‘puppets’ of providence(01:02:12) Closing questions and personal inspirations(01:04:24) Where to find John’s work and translation efforts(01:06:30) Wrap‑up, reflections, and show credits - Joe "Rooz" Russiellohttps://www.joerooz.com/supporthttps://www.joerooz.com

Tonight, I sit down with Jen Brown, founder of Utah Citizens for the Constitution, civic educator, and longtime public policy advocate, to unpack what the Constitution really says, why its limits on federal power are the heart of American liberty, and how everyday citizens can recognize and resist government overreach. We explore the enumerated powers in Article I, Section 8, the Tenth Amendment, and the crucial role states play in our federal system.Jen shares her personal journey from dentistry to constitutional advocacy, the high cost and purpose of civic engagement, and why she believes faith, family, and informed participation are essential to preserving freedom.We also dig into the history and impact of the Declaration of Independence, its radical claim that all men are created equal, the sacrifices of the signers, and what the 250th anniversary should mean for modern Americans.Jen breaks down the Rubicon case in Utah as a cautionary tale about government overreach, offers practical steps for citizens who feel their rights are being infringed, and challenges listeners to learn, think, ask questions, and get involved, because liberty isn’t self-executing.Guest: Jen Brownhttps://utahconstitution.com.

Tonight, I sit down with Grammy-winning vocalist, pianist, composer, and author Darlene Koldenhoven for an inspiring deep-dive into her five-decade career.We explore her journey from a strict Dutch Calvinist upbringing on Chicago’s South Side to becoming one of L.A.’s top first-call sopranos, featured on over a thousand recordings and iconic projects like Yanni Live at the Acropolis, the Sister Act films, and Pink Floyd’s A Momentary Lapse of Reason. Darlene shares vivid, behind-the-scenes stories—from high-pressure film sessions with Jerry Goldsmith to late-night rock dates with David Gilmour—along with hard-won lessons on preparation, professionalism, and perseverance.We also unpack her new memoir, Put Your Dress Down and Sing, and the companion album The Grand Memoir—born from awakening-dream compositions during the writing process. Darlene opens up about overcoming personal adversity, including a career-threatening hand injury and life-changing surgery, and how teaching, sonic therapy, and a service-first approach to performance fuel her definition of success today. If you need a masterclass in resilience, artistry, and showing up ready when opportunity knocks, this one’s for you.Guest: Darlene Koldenholvenhttps://darlenekoldenhoven.comWatch LIVE:Rumble.com/JoeRoozYouTube.com/@JoeRooz Watch Live 7PM CT Watch on Rumble: https://rumble.com/JoeRooz▶️ Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@JoeRooz Website: https://joerooz.com Special thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiExecutive Producer John SeeleyWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?Send Joe a message on #PodMatch: https://www.podmatch.com/member/joeCheck out our partners:Podhome.fmCreative EdgeGet MasterPeace https://masterpeacebyhcs.com/767e544f93fd74ce(00:00:05) Cold open: playful banter and quick wrap(00:03:40) Show intro: "The Joe Rue Show" kicks off(00:04:07) Host welcome and tonight6;s special guest tease(00:05:22) Housekeeping: website, contact, comments, live times(00:07:16) Beat the algorithm: like, subscribe, share, where to listen(00:08:40) Guest intro: Darlene Koldenhovend career highlights(00:10:05) Piano preview: "Love and Devotion" from The Grand Memoir(00:12:12) Early life: strict Dutch Calvinist upbringing(00:14:31) Leap to Los Angeles and a rough start from nothing(00:16:02) Breaking in: preparation, connections, and opportunity(00:17:49) The moment it clicked: meeting George Duke and Flora Purim(00:23:51) LA crash course: gopher gigs, setbacks, and a health crisis(00:26:03) Rebuilding: couches, teaching piano, and first sessions(00:28:08) Studio chops: versatility, sight-reading, and attitude(00:31:13) What makes careers last: professionalism and reliability(00:32:45) Baptism by fire: Poltergeist II film session story(00:36:18) First-call standards: perform on the first read(00:36:44) Teaching voice: myths, keys, and matching pitch(00:39:06) Industry shifts: AI, streaming payouts, and survival(00:43:12) Awards reality: the Grammy whammy and self-reliance(00:44:10) Memoir time: why write 7Put Your Dress Down and Sing8(00:45:46) Title origin: Easter solo, shyness, and a life motto(00:47:02) Writing the book: massive draft, machete edits, and release(00:50:09) Vulnerability on the page: tough chapters and purpose(00:51:39) Audition mishap: choreography muscle memory strikes(00:54:27) A second chance: TV spin-off and a song takes second(00:56:40) Core lesson: action changes feelingsf put your dress down(00:56:45) Injury and adaptation: right hand damage reshapes playing(01:00:13) Dream gig: singing on Pink Floyd6s Momentary Lapse(01:02:20) Studio dynamics: a delicate ask to David Gilmour(01:05:01) Session craft: blend, pocket, and leaving the tour to pros(01:06:12) Perseverance pays: no vacations and staying in line(01:06:47) Most intimidating: Clare Fischer and sky-high soprano(01:11:12) Wrapping reflections: redefining success and audience first(01:13:38) Plugs and launch: site, August 7 party, and thanks(01:17:21) Closing credits: producers, support, and sign-off - Joe "Rooz" Russiellohttps://www.joerooz.com/supporthttps://www.joerooz.com

In today’s Sunday Bible Study, I walk through Revelation chapter 14 and highlight why this pivotal chapter reads like a headline summary for the latter half of the Tribulation. We revisit the 144,000 standing with the Lamb on Mount Zion, explore the “everlasting gospel” proclaimed by an angel, and consider the solemn warning against worshiping the beast and receiving his mark. I also trace the prophetic announcements of Babylon’s fall and the harvest of the earth, culminating in a preview of Armageddon and the winepress of God’s wrath, while underscoring God’s sovereignty: Christ reigns, judgment is certain, and the faithful are remembered and rewarded.Along the way, I encourage believers to live with urgency and hope—sharing the gospel within our unique spheres of influence, cultivating patience amid tribulation, and resting in the truth that history is moving toward God’s appointed conclusion.If you’re saved, endure and speak up; if you’re not, come to Christ today by trusting wholly in His shed blood. The story ends with Jesus victorious.

In this episode, I sit down with broadcaster and Toward Anarchy host Michael Storm for a freewheeling, old‑school, long‑form conversation about freedom, authority, economics, media, and why so many people feel politically homeless.We trace Michael’s roots from early libertarian influences to principled anarchism, dig into how legacy media and FCC controls shape discourse, and explore the promise of decentralized podcasting, RSS ownership, and the Podcasting 2.0 ecosystem. We also get candid about algorithms, bad reviews, and the importance of building resilient, independent platforms. Beyond politics, we connect culture to liberty—comic books, pop culture, and the craft of art as mirrors to power and performance. Michael shares the origins of “Toward Anarchy,” insights on Austrian economics, the commerce clause creep, and the value of focusing on family, community, and real conversations. Whether you agree or disagree, this episode aims to sharpen questions, challenge assumptions, and encourage more thoughtful dialogue. Guest: Michael Stormhttps://www.towardanarchy.com/ Watch Live 7PM CT Watch on Rumble: https://rumble.com/JoeRooz▶️ Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@JoeRooz Website: https://joerooz.com Special thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiExecutive Producer John SeeleyWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?Send Joe a message on #PodMatch: https://www.podmatch.com/member/joeCheck out our partners:Podhome.fmCreative EdgeGet MasterPeace https://masterpeacebyhcs.com/767e544f93fd74ce(00:01:52) Cold open and show identity: live from Asylum Studios(00:02:13) Host intro, rebrand confusion, and tonights topic teaser(00:03:00) Guest setup: broadcaster Michael Storm of Toward Anarchy(00:03:35) Housekeeping: website, contact, and where to watch(00:05:26) Live schedule, distribution, and gaming the algorithm(00:08:12) Guest welcome: anti-establishment perspective and long-form talk(00:09:55) Old school radio vs overproduced podcasts and AI content(00:11:24) Noise, overproduction, and breaking the algorithm(00:15:03) A comic shop anecdote, politics, and one-star reviews(00:18:01) Doing the show for oneself and competing with legacy giants(00:19:48) PodMatch community and paid interviews transparency(00:20:07) Pivot: how Michael became a principled anarchist(00:21:51) Media work, FCC constraints, and skepticism of institutions(00:23:00) Self-hosting feeds, decentralization, and cancel resistance(00:26:01) Platforms, RSS, and Podcasting 2.0 vs discovery reality(00:27:33) Staying in the arena: being where the audience is(00:29:07) From conservative to conservatarian: limited government views(00:31:14) Anarchy misunderstood: labels, history, and replacing power(00:33:13) Commerce clause critique and federal overreach(00:36:19) If founders saw today: regulatory sprawl and FCC control(00:37:40) Licensing airwaves and the ham radio paradox(00:39:01) Origin of Toward Anarchy and Libertarian Party roots(00:41:58) Nolans arrow: Toward Anarchy and the liberty grid(00:42:28) Politics as a line: slavery to anarchy(00:43:42) Influences and guests: Richman, Bastiat, Hazlitt, Berman(00:46:06) Politics, pop culture, and pro wrestling as performance(00:49:31) Comics for adults: inclusivity debates and real themes(00:52:00) Graphic novels: hand-drawn emotion vs digital polish(00:54:31) Running out of time: Bitcoin tease and musician talk(00:55:05) Wrap-up Q&A: beliefs changed and everyday heroes(00:58:05) Where to find Michael and mutual follow-up plans(00:59:22) Hosts closing reflection: trust in systems and each other(01:01:04) Producer shout-outs, support, and sign-off - Joe "Rooz" Russiellohttps://www.joerooz.com/supporthttps://www.joerooz.com

In this Wednesday's with Wayne edition, I welcome back our Practical Prepper, Wayne Rankin, for a no-nonsense conversation on real-world preparedness. We trade laughs and stories from the Pacific Northwest to Texas, then dig into the essentials: building practical toolboxes for your home and car, organizing tools so you can “grab and go,” creating a support network of reliable neighbors and family, and stretching dollars with smart DIY fixes, bartering, and homegrown food. Wayne shares updates from his homestead—bees, gardens, chickens, upcoming hunts and fishing plans—and why preparedness is about everyday life, not panic. We also touch on staying resilient through recovery, leveraging YouTube for step-by-step fixes, and simple, effective setups for heat, light, and communications when things go sideways.Whether you live on acreage or in a suburb, you’ll walk away with clear, practical steps: what to put in your house toolbox, why to keep a stocked car kit and medical bag, how to label and store hardware, and how to build a small greenhouse or garden to cut grocery costs and increase self-reliance.It’s a grounded, useful chat that puts preparedness back where it belongs—right at home.

Tonight, I welcome back award-winning author, publisher, and podcast host Tricia Copeland, who also writes contemporary romance under the pen name Maria Jane, for a deep dive into creativity, storytelling, and building a career around imagination.We explore why she separates pen names across genres, how her background in science evolved into prolific fiction writing, and the craft behind believable romance that balances heart with realism.Tricia shares the origins and themes of her Perfect romance series—from alternate endings and multiple POVs to character-driven self-discovery, plus how reader input helped shape settings and personalities. We also dig into the realities of publishing today, why romance continues to thrive, how podcasts connect authors and readers, and the enduring relevance of books in a distracted, AI-saturated world. Tricia opens up about process, discipline, and hope: finding the magic in everyday life, trusting your creative instincts, and taking the next step even when outcomes aren’t guaranteed.

In today’s Sunday Bible Study, we dive into Revelation 13 and explore the rise of the beast and the false prophet, the satanic counterfeit to God’s order.Building on last week’s look at Revelation 12, I walk through the prophetic shift from history to tribulation, unpack the imagery of heads, horns, and crowns, and trace how scripture identifies the Antichrist, his deceptive power, global reach, blasphemy, and the infamous number 666.I also examine how the false prophet imitates the Holy Spirit by directing worship to the beast, performs signs to deceive, and sets the stage for the mark that controls buying and selling. Throughout, I emphasize discernment over fear, encourage anchoring in scripture, and clearly flag where I’m speculating versus teaching straight from the text.We compare passages across Daniel, 2 Thessalonians, the Gospels, Acts, and Revelation to build a coherent picture of end-times deception, false worship, and global control. I also address common cultural signals pointing toward one-world systems and warn listeners: whatever you do, don’t take the mark.

Tonight I’m joined by Finnish-Canadian author, certified book coach, and podcaster A. L. Jensen (aka Liisa Kovola) to explore how reinvention, discipline, and a dash of Nordic comfort can transform both a writing life and a mystery series.  We dig into her pivot from teaching to full-time creativity, why she split her work between pen names, and how book coaching accelerates craft, confidence, and completion. A. L. shares the inspiration behind her Nordic cozy Hygge House series—where small-town charm meets culture, community, and just the right amount of murder—and how midlife changes fueled her storytelling. We also unpack the power of accountability, the realities of finishing a book, and why readers are craving warmth and connection alongside their whodunits. You’ll hear practical insights on plotting vs. pantsing, the value of mentorship, and the tough-love truths new writers need. A. L. also talks about becoming Canada’s first Asahi Nordic instructor, embracing multiple creative identities, and how podcasting helps introverted storytellers find their public voice. If you’ve got a book inside you—or a new chapter of life to write—this conversation is your nudge to start before you feel perfectly ready. Guest: A.L.

In this Wednesday's with Wayne edition, I’m joined by our resident Practical Prepper, Wayne Rankin, for a lively, wide-ranging conversation on self-reliance, community, and faith. We kick off with updates from Eagle Pass and Wayne’s whirlwind week: a near-disaster averted with a flooded cellar and gas water heater, how smart improvisation (hello, gym showers) fits into practical preparedness, and why a few key home fixes and tutorials can save you big down the line. Wayne shares the power of church community—teams of men rallying to split and stack 16 cords of firewood, the joy of feeding helpers Texas-style brisket and pulled pork, and giving first fruits to a single mom and youth fundraiser. We dig into homestead systems (propane stoves, generators, future wind turbine, beehives, garden, and flock), medical self-care with simple herbal and pantry remedies, and how to approach bartering—from cakes for car repairs to salmon for small engine help. We also reflect on stewardship, personal responsibility before God, and honest concerns about policy, AI, and the cost of living, all through a grounded, hopeful lens of family, fellowship, and doing the next right thing. Plus, I recap our recent Sunday Bible study on Revelation 12 and preview Wayne’s next adventure, filming along the Cowlitz River beneath Mount St. Helens. If you’re building resilience and community—without the doom—this episode is for you.

In this Sunday Bible Study, I walk us through Revelation chapter 12, building on last week’s look at the two witnesses and the rise of global rebellion. We identify the key figures—the woman (Israel), the great red dragon (Satan), Michael the archangel, and the man child—and trace how this chapter unveils the spiritual war behind human history and Israel’s prophetic role.We compare scripture with scripture (Genesis 37; Matthew 16, 24–25; Daniel; Zechariah) to clarify symbols, discuss Satan’s casting down and intensified persecution, Israel’s flight into the wilderness for 1,260 days, and the judgment of the nations based on how they treat Israel. I highlight how believers overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony, and why Satan’s time is short, reminding us that God remains in control even as deception increases.I also answer common interpretations (e.g., whether the woman is Mary or the Church), note possible double applications of the “man child,” and consider what “two wings of a great eagle” might mean—all with the aim of encouraging you to study with an open Bible and confidence in Christ’s victory. If you missed the earlier Revelation studies or the dispensations series referenced, you can find them in the archives on joerooz.com.

In this Memorial Day week episode, I open up about why this holiday is one of my most meaningful, honoring the men and women who paid the ultimate price to secure our freedoms and the everyday heroes who keep our communities safe. I reflect on family stories, the purpose behind the day, and what it means for us as Americans to celebrate with gratitude and remembrance. Then I welcome back our “Wednesday with Wayne” guest, Wayne Rankin—aka Dr. Prepper—for a practical, no-nonsense deep dive on preparedness. Wayne shares hands-on tips for short-term outages and storms: simple water strategies (bathtub fills, water heater access, safe flushing), low-cost pantry essentials (proteins, beans, rice, canned fruit), and easy starter gardening ideas to stretch budgets and build resilience. We also touch on rising costs, supply chain pressures, and why learning trades and home skills can steady families in uncertain times. It’s a grounded, encouraging conversation about honoring sacrifice while taking practical steps to care for our homes and neighbors.

In today’s Bible Study, we continue our verse-by-verse journey through Revelation 11. Picking up from last week’s discussion on the two witnesses (identified as Moses and Elijah), we explore their martyrdom, the world’s shocking celebration over their deaths, and the fear that grips humanity when God raises them and calls, “Come up hither.” We unpack the spiritual versus doctrinal applications of Scripture, why Jerusalem is spiritually called “Sodom and Egypt,” the seventh trumpet “headline” of the last half of the Tribulation, and the promise that the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdoms of our Lord. We also trace the intensifying sequence of earthquakes as creation “travails,” preview judgments to come (including the Great White Throne), and contrast Church Age grace through faith with works-centered dispensations in the Tribulation and Millennium.Through it all, the big takeaway remains: human hostility to truth is growing, but Christ’s eternal reign is certain—and now is the day of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Scripture highlights include Revelation 11:7–19; cross-references to Revelation 4, 9, 12–14, 20; Daniel 7:18; Romans 8; Matthew 4; Acts 2, 4, 7; and Luke 19. I encourage you to read along, bring your questions, and share the gospel with boldness this week.

 In this episode of the Joe Rooz Show, we welcome back our resident “Doctor Prepper” Wayne Rankin—and for the first time, his wife Rosanna—live from the Asylum for another Wednesday's with Wayne. We dive into practical preparedness you can start today: water storage for small spaces, why a flashlight tops the list, creative uses for blue tarps and contractor bags, and smart food staples like rice, beans, pasta, and even Top Ramen.  Rosanna brings a wealth of homestead know‑how, sharing hands-on tips for reliable winter egg production, bread troubleshooting (store your yeast in the freezer!), and beginner-friendly beekeeping insights—from queen introductions to how pollinators supercharge your fruit trees.  We also touch on sustainable living through gardening, hunting, and fishing, plus simple, budget-friendly ways to build a 72-hour kit and pantry without panic buying. Preppared, not paranoid—all with humor, heart, and actionable advice you can use right away.  Resources mentioned and takeaways include: start with the basics (water, light, heat), use a small propane grill for cooking during outages, keep matches dry in pill bottles, make fire starters with cotton balls and petroleum jelly, rotate egg-laying hens with light and nutrition, and remember that community—human and honeybee—makes resilience possible.  Watch Live 7PM CT Watch on Rumble: https://rumble.com/JoeRooz▶️ Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@JoeRooz Website: https://joerooz.com Special thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiExecutive Producer John SeeleyWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?Send Joe a message on #PodMatch: https://www.podmatch.com/member/joeCheck out our partners:Podhome.fmCreative EdgeGet MasterPeace https://masterpeacebyhcs.com/767e544f93fd74ce(00:00:06) Cold open banter and setting the tone(00:03:52) Intro: Live from the Asylum—welcome to The Joe Rue Show(00:05:21) Housekeeping: website, contact, comments, schedule, sharing(00:08:09) Introducing guests: Wayne “Doctor Prepper” Rankin and Rosanna(00:10:04) Rosanna’s background: homeschooling, pastry chef, Costco, ranch life(00:13:46) Horses, ranch stories, and small‑town grit(00:16:01) Bread troubleshooting: yeast activation and consistency tips(00:19:34) Hobby farm life: chickens, winter laying, rotation, and soil(00:22:01) Beekeeping 101: queens, hives, and first honeycomb(00:24:46) Why bees matter: pollination, blossoms, and the circle of life(00:27:13) From prepping to self‑reliance: hunting, fishing, and clean eating(00:31:11) Preparedness mindset: planning trips, bug‑out basics, water first(00:33:29) Cooking without power: barbecues, coolers, and fridge triage(00:36:31) Lights, heat, and 72‑hour resilience from disaster work(00:38:14) Budget pantry starters: pasta, rice, beans, and kid‑friendly staples(00:44:55) Building a basics kit: tools, tarps, sanitation, and signaling(00:53:44) Low‑cost hacks: space blankets, heavy bags, and staying warm(00:54:19) Safe water: boiling guidance and fire‑starting tricks(00:55:29) No city slickers here: mountains, grit, and first‑show reflections(00:56:40) Prepared vs. prepper: vehicles, flares, and on‑the‑go kits(00:57:17) Next week’s plan: pantry setup and charcoal confession(00:59:00) Closing laughs: flamethrowers, torches, and sign‑off with thanks(01:01:22) Host wrap‑up: takeaways, shout‑outs, and good night - Joe "Rooz" Russiello - Marisa Lee - Wayne Rankin - Rosanna Rankin - Angela Wetuski - Carolina Jimenezhttps://www.joerooz.com/supporthttps://www.joerooz.com

In today’s Sunday Bible Study, I pick up our ongoing journey through Revelation, continuing from chapter 10 and into the opening of chapter 11.  Despite battling a rough sore throat, we pressed on to explore the sealed “seven thunders,” what it means that “time shall be no longer,” and why Scripture can be both sweet and bitter—sweet to receive, but challenging when applied.  We also examined the identity and ministry of the two witnesses, cross-referencing Elijah and Moses through James 5, 1 Kings, Exodus, and Numbers, and tracked how their fire, plagues, and drought align with Revelation 11.  Along the way, we discussed the earthly, literal temple to be measured, the 42 months given to the Gentiles, and how the beast from the bottomless pit ties together with the king of the abyss and the sea beast of Revelation 13.  I closed with reminders about progressive revelation—how God unfolds truth in His timing—and encouragement to keep studying, praying, and testing all things by the Word of God.  Key passages included Revelation 10–11, Daniel 12, Zechariah 4, James 5, 1 Kings 17, Exodus 3, Numbers 16, 2 Kings 1, Luke 16, and Jonah 2. We’ll continue next time as we move deeper into Revelation 11 and beyond.Join us  HTTPS://RUMBLE.COM/JOEROOZ/LIVEHTTPS://YOUTUBE.COM/@JOEROOZ Watch Live 7PM CT Watch on Rumble: https://rumble.com/JoeRooz▶️ Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@JoeRooz Website: https://joerooz.com Special thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiExecutive Producer John SeeleyWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?Send Joe a message on #PodMatch: https://www.podmatch.com/member/joeCheck out our partners:Podhome.fmCreative EdgeGet MasterPeace https://masterpeacebyhcs.com/767e544f93fd74ce(03:38) Opening from Asylum Studios and show intro(03:58) Sunday Bible study kickoff and prayerful tone(05:20) Recap of Revelation 10 and preview of todays questions(06:16) Housekeeping, website, live times, and audience engagement(08:08) Invocation and pastoral prayer before study(10:12) Reading Revelation 10:4 and the sealed seven thunders(13:22) 22Time shall be no longer22 explained and progressive revelation(17:26) The little book: sweet to taste, bitter to stomach(21:00) Mandate to prophesy again; transition to Revelation 11(22:07) Measuring the earthly temple and the outer court for Gentiles(23:26) Temple site, Wailing Wall, and Dome of the Rock context(27:34) Introducing the two witnesses and their powers(31:19) Identifying the witnesses as Moses and Elijah(42:19) The beast from the bottomless pit versus the beast from the sea(45:25) Speculations on the abyss, gulfs, and depths(47:12) Jonah 2, the 22belly of hell,22 and imagery of bars and worms(49:58) Closing prayer and summary exhortation(52:58) Final remarks, support credits, and sign-off - Joe "Rooz" Russiello - Marisa Lee - Wayne Rankin - Rosanna Rankin - Angela Wetuski - Carolina Jimenezhttps://www.joerooz.com/supporthttps://www.joerooz.com

In this Sunday Bible Study, I broadcast live from the Asylum and guide you into Revelation chapter 10—one of the book’s most mysterious and pivotal moments.We examine the mighty angel, the little open book, and the seven thunders, and consider why this passage likely marks the mid-tribulation pivot, opening the time of Jacob’s trouble. I walk through how Revelation 10 and the first half of 11 operate as a parenthesis between the sixth and seventh trumpets, and I connect key threads across Scripture—from Daniel 12 to Matthew 22, 24, and 25—to explore the distinctions between the bride, the guests, and the virgins, and why these categories help explain multiple raptures in the Bible.Along the way, I share a heartfelt Mother’s Day reflection, honoring the unseen labor, prayers, and faithfulness of mothers and grandmothers who shape generations. We close with encouragement: even amid judgments and escalating tribulation, prophecy isn’t chaos—God’s timeline stands, and Jesus Christ wins. We’ll pick up next time continuing through Revelation 10:4 and beyond.Resources mentioned include cross-references to Revelation 1, 5, 10–11, 19; Daniel 9, 12; Matthew 22, 24–25; 1 Thessalonians 4; 1 Corinthians 15; John 3; John 10; Hebrews; and select Old Testament narratives noted for typological parallels.

In this episode, I sit down with Cassian Bellino, host of Biblically Speaking, a platform dedicated to making Scripture understandable for everyday people.We explore her journey from a tech and sustainability background to facilitating conversations with leading scholars, and why so many Christians feel confused by the Bible—not because it’s impossible to grasp, but because it’s rarely taught with context. Cassian shares how historical background, careful questioning, and honest wrestling with tough topics can move faith from lukewarm to alive, and we unpack practical ways to start studying—like doing simple word studies and asking better questions—so Scripture becomes something you engage, not just skim. We also discuss the difference between pastors and scholars, how to handle disagreement with humility, and why bringing your real struggles directly to God can change your heart over time.If you’ve ever felt stuck or intimidated by the Bible, this conversation offers grounded steps to seek clarity, grow in confidence, and build a faith that’s thoughtful, informed, and deeply personal.

 In this episode, I welcome retired IT veteran and author Tilmer Wright Jr. for a wide-ranging, no-fluff conversation on leadership, AI, and common sense.We dig into why middle management so often turns good people into “miserable tyrants,” the sacred duty leaders owe both their teams and their bosses, and the hard lessons Tilmer learned over four decades managing software developers.Then we pivot to AI’s rapid creep into everyday life—from creative tools to hiring interviews—and why self-preserving, rule-bending systems shouldn’t surprise us. Tilmer unpacks the honeybee “waggle dance” inspiration behind his techno-thriller The Bit Dance, how hive-like AI could evolve, and where convenience crosses into dangerous dependency. We also lighten it up with Pink Floyd talk, the passage of time, and why it’s never too late to leave meaningful tracks with your work.Resources, links, and how to reach Tilmer are in the show notes.

Tonight, I sit down with California gubernatorial candidate Thunder Parley—an engineer-turned-entrepreneur who’s running as an unapologetic problem solver. We dive into California’s affordability crisis, utility rate hikes, homelessness and addiction policy, education accountability, and public safety.Thunder breaks down why he believes Sacramento’s lack of transparency fuels bad outcomes, and outlines specific proposals like his MATH tax plan (Making Advancement Tax-free for Households), moving social fees out of electric bills to lower rates, auditing utility oversight, and tracking classroom disruptions through LIMIT (Lost Instructional Minutes in Teaching). He also weighs in on Prop 36, shoplifting accountability, and why business climate matters to keep jobs and retirees in-state.We talk practical governance over political theater—how to measure outcomes, rebuild trust, and make California livable again without gutting the middle class. Whether you agree with him or not, Thunder offers a data-driven platform aimed at restoring opportunity and basic functionality.Explore his full plans and decide if this kind of outsider approach can actually move the needle in Sacramento. Resources mentioned: votethunder.com (Thunder Parley’s campaign and policy details); joerooz.com (show contact and support).Guest: Thunder Parleyhttps:// votethunder.com ️ LIVE TONIGHT AT 7PM CT  Rumble.com/JoeRoozYouTube.com/@JoeRooz Watch Live 7PM CT Watch on Rumble: https://rumble.com/JoeRooz▶️ Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@JoeRooz Website: https://joerooz.com Special thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiExecutive Producer John SeeleyWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?Send Joe a message on #PodMatch: https://www.podmatch.com/member/joeCheck out our partners:Podhome.fmCreative EdgeGet MasterPeace https://masterpeacebyhcs.com/767e544f93fd74ce(00:01:49) Opening, show intro, and today’s topic tease(00:03:10) Housekeeping, contact info, live schedule, and engagement ask(00:07:27) Guest introduction: Thunder Parley enters the race(00:08:28) Is Thunder Parley a real name?

In today’s Sunday Bible Study, I walk us through Revelation 9—one of the most sobering and terrifying chapters in Scripture.We examine the opening of the bottomless pit, the release of tormenting locust-like beings, and the staggering reality that even under severe judgment a hardened world still refuses to repent. I unpack the text verse by verse, consider the imagery of the “bottomless pit,” the five-month period of torment, and the sixth trumpet’s 200 million horsemen, exploring prophetic cross-references in Isaiah 66 and Ezekiel 38.We close by reflecting on the heart issue at the center of it all: judgment exposes sin, but only grace softens the will—so the time to turn to Christ is now.Resources mentioned include passages from Revelation 9, Isaiah 66, Ezekiel 38, and related New Testament references on the seal of God and the work of the Holy Spirit.I also share ways to connect with the show and invite listeners to study along, pray, and consider the urgency of the gospel.

In this Wednesday with Wayne episode, I’m joined by our executive producer and longtime friend, Wayne “Dr. Prepper” Rankin, to get practical about emergency preparedness. We dig into real-world tips from Wayne’s decades living and hunting in the high mountains—how to keep food cold with limited generator use, cook with propane or on a backyard grill, and prioritize water storage the smart way. We also lay out what an urban pantry should look like, how to stretch simple shelf-stable foods (beans, rice, ramen, canned meats, crackers), and why flashlights, radios, blankets, and board games matter more than you think when the lights go out. Plus, Wayne shares commonsense guidance on radios (hand-crank, shortwave, and ham), heat and lighting options, and growing a bit of your own food—even if it’s just a few pots of salad greens on a porch.  We wrap with clear takeaways: aim for at least 72 hours of supplies; focus on what you’ll actually use and can cook without the grid; rotate pantry staples; store water safely and affordably; and build your local network so you’re not riding out emergencies alone. If you’ve been meaning to start prepping without the doomsday drama, this conversation is your blueprint.

In today’s Sunday Bible Study, we pick up in Revelation 8 where the seventh seal is opened, heaven falls silent for about half an hour, and the trumpet judgments begin. I break down each of the first four trumpets—judgments on the earth, sea, rivers, and heavens—showing their parallels to the plagues of Egypt and how they progressively intensify as God both judges and still extends mercy, calling people to repent.We look at the prayers of the tribulation martyrs, what the silence in heaven may signify, why “third part” appears repeatedly, how Wormwood bittering the waters connects to Israel’s role as the “salt of the earth,” and why these signs make clear we are not yet in the Tribulation. We close with the triple “Woe” warning and a reminder that God’s silence is never His absence—these trumpets are final alarms to turn back while there’s still time. Scripture references include Revelation 8, cross-referenced with Revelation 4, 6, 9, 11; Numbers, Exodus, Joshua; Habakkuk; Psalms 19; Jeremiah 9; Ezekiel 47; 2 Kings 2; Isaiah 11; Luke 21; Matthew 24; Amos; Joel; Philippians 3.I encourage listeners to examine these passages, keep their affections set on things above, and share the gospel while grace is still extended.

In tonight’s live show from the Asylum in Eagle Pass, I sit down with dark fiction author and former adolescent mental health professional, Seth Voorhees.We dig into how real-world counseling experience shapes believable characters, the misconceptions people have about mental health (especially with youth), and why environment and circumstance often matter more than we admit when judging human behavior.We also explore spirituality in dark narratives, morality in a gray world, and how asking direct questions can save lives.Along the way, we swap stories about writing process, secondary trauma, and the fine line between authenticity and entertainment—plus a few laughs, Monty Python nods, and some very live-show chaos courtesy of a mid-episode coffee spill.We preview Seth’s upcoming horror novel set in West Carlton, Michigan—where a secretive society called the Albatross faces disappearances and murder—and touch on his prior work “Immune,” a pandemic tale that pits the “immune” against the “inflicted” while testing love, loyalty, and faith. If you’re into character-driven, psychologically grounded dark fiction, this one’s for you. Guest: Seth Voorheeshttps://sethtvoorhees.com Watch Live 7PM CT Watch on Rumble: https://rumble.com/JoeRooz▶️ Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@JoeRooz Website: https://joerooz.com Special thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiExecutive Producer John SeeleyWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?Send Joe a message on #PodMatch: https://www.podmatch.com/member/joeCheck out our partners:Podhome.fmCreative EdgeGet MasterPeace https://masterpeacebyhcs.com/767e544f93fd74ce(00:01:48) Opening theme, date, and live show intro from Eagle Pass(00:03:00) Schedule changes, guest reschedule, and weekend plans(00:05:04) Housekeeping: website, contact options, and live stream details(00:08:19) Audience growth talk and playful sharing-argument stories(00:08:53) Guest intro: Dark fiction author Seth Voorhees(00:09:51) South Dakota calm, wild weather, and small talk(00:11:08) Self‑deprecating humor, bald beards, and laughter as medicine(00:18:09) Monty Python riff and classic comedy influences(00:23:19) Work travel, culture, and humility in the South(00:24:26) Roots in the Black Hills and how place shapes imagination(00:28:28) From psychology studies to writing dark fiction(00:31:08) Adolescent mental health truths and real impact(00:35:03) Early literary influences: Stine, King, Matheson, Shelley(00:37:00) What writers miss about human behavior and treatment settings(00:38:43) Live show hiccup: coffee spill and rolling with it(00:42:02) Craft talk: scenes first, pantsing vs plotting, character growth(00:46:08) How to listen to youth: silence, reflection, and respect(00:48:39) Are people good or situational?
