  1. Silence as Strength: Rich Lewis on Centering Prayer and Finding Your True Self (Ep. 261)

    20H AGO

    Silence as Strength: Rich Lewis on Centering Prayer and Finding Your True Self (Ep. 261)

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

    Ann Charles on Writing, Publishing, and Spicy Mystery (Ep. 260)

    Tonight I’m joined by USA TODAY bestselling author Ann Charles for a lively, no‑BS conversation about building a career in mystery fiction that blends suspense, laugh‑out‑loud humor, and a dash of paranormal mayhem. We dig into how Ann found her voice after early false starts in romance, why she chose to go indie when a Big Five deal fell through, and how ebooks and timing helped her break out—right up to the surprise moment she discovered she’d already hit the USA TODAY list. Ann shares the real talk on marketing in 2026 (it changes monthly), balancing grit and spice without losing tension, and writing long‑running series that make readers want to visit the real‑world settings—like Deadwood, South Dakota. We also get into co‑writing her Old West Undertaker series with her husband, reader events vs. writer conferences, handling reviews, and the power of perseverance while life is life‑ing. If you love rowdy, character‑driven mysteries with supernatural streaks, this one’s for you. We close with what Ann’s writing now—from the next Deadwood Undertaker installment to a new Jackrabbit Junction caper—plus practical advice for aspiring authors: start writing the story that won’t leave you alone, learn the marketing game, and keep going.

  3. Introduction to the Book of Revelation: Biblical Prophecy, Judgment, and the Second Coming (Ep. 259)

    3D AGO

    Introduction to the Book of Revelation: Biblical Prophecy, Judgment, and the Second Coming (Ep. 259)

    In this Sunday Bible Study episode, I kick off a new series on the Book of Revelation—building on our recently completed 18‑week dispensations study. I lay the groundwork with key terms and positions we’ll use throughout, including Babylon, dispensationalism, premillennialism, and pre‑tribulationism, and why a literal reading of Revelation matters. We explore common objections to Revelation, the significance of its dating, and how Scripture interprets Scripture by connecting Joel 2 with Revelation 6. I outline the structure of the book—from the glorified Christ in chapter 1, the seven churches in chapters 2–3, the rapture picture in chapter 4, through the tribulation cycles to chapter 19, and the 1,000‑year reign in chapter 20—emphasizing God’s shift from grace to wrath in this period. I also encourage listeners to track prophetic developments in Israel and the Middle East as we prepare to walk chapter‑by‑chapter through this grand book in the weeks ahead. Resources mentioned: Revelation 1–3, 6–7, 19–20; Joel 2:28–32; references to prior series on dispensations and spiritual warfare; encouragement to read and note cross‑references during personal study. Join us next week as we dive into Revelation chapter 1 and the vision of the glorified Christ.

    Crypto Psychic Marisa Lee Breaks Down What’s Next for XRP, Ondo, and Canton CC (Ep. 258)

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

    From Test Pilot to Techno-Thriller: Pat Daily on AR, AI, and the Spark Chronicles (Ep. 257)

    Tonight I sat down with Pat Daily—engineer, Air Force test pilot, NASA alum, entrepreneur, and author of the Spark Chronicles—to dive into near‑future sci‑fi, augmented reality, AI optimism, and the high‑risk thrills of test flying. Pat shared how a simple walk playing Pokémon GO sparked the idea for an AR-driven theme park powered by advanced solar tech, which became the backbone of his award-winning series. We explored character dynamics, believable tech, and geopolitics woven through Spark, Fire, Orkland, and Embers, plus what he’d fight to keep if Hollywood comes calling. Pat also opened up about career pivots from military aviation to industry and startups, the sobering realities of NASA bureaucracy, and why private space is accelerating what government slowed. We closed with faith, his nonfiction work on Lent (“Drunk Every Sunday”), and what’s next—think Stranger Things meets Cocoon—along with a candid, fun rapid-fire on AI fears, fandom, and favorite straight-talker in D.C. If you’re into hard sci‑fi grounded in real tech, AR world‑building, and human stories that carry optimism (and a few fireballs), this one’s for you.

    6D AGO

    Sasquatch, Secrets, and the Suppressed Story (Ep. 256)

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

    FEB 11

    Your Past Explains You—It Doesn’t Define You: Responsibility, Faith, and Growth (Ep. 255)

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

    FEB 10

    Discipleship in the Laodicean Age: A Conversation with TS Wright (Ep. 254)

    In this wide-ranging, spirited conversation, I welcome ordained minister and Kingdom Crossroads host TS Wright for a deep dive into discipleship, church history, and living out authentic biblical faith today. We swap testimonies, talk through the joy and grit of ministry, and explore practical rhythms for a God-centered life—from personal time in the Word and prayer, to real accountability, corporate worship, and intentional rest.  TS shares insights from decades in ministry, his Campus Crusade formation, powerful moments of healing, and his upcoming discipleship book series. We also dig into Philippians’ portrait of mature believers, the Laodicean church and its relevance to our age, and how believers can stay faithful without getting trapped by cultural drift or petty doctrinal squabbles. Come for the encouragement, stay for the challenge to shine your light with zeal and grace. We close with resources to connect with TS, learn about his podcast and books, and prepare for a forthcoming Revelation study—plus a reminder that the Lord never leaves His people without a path back to Him: repent, reconnect, and carry the message.
