Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast Robert Thibodeau

Jesus is Everything Dr. Bruce Hartman pt 2Many people today are always striving to move up the next rung on the career ladder. Always trying to get more, do more or be more. But, what happens when you achieve it? What’s next? How many would put on their resume that, they would leave it the corporate world behind and enter into their true life’s calling – of serving the Lord?
My guest today has done just that. Dr. Bruce L. Hartman, a former CFO for Fortune 500 firms, such as Yankee Candle Company and Foot Locker, he left the corporate world to follow Jesus and received his Doctorate in ministry. In a storytelling fashion, he gives practical insights on how to have a strong faith life and the power of Jesus. His first four books, https://amzn.to/3kijYa5 (“Jesus and Company”,) https://amzn.to/3hGk3Td (“Your Faith Has Made You Well”) , and about a year ago, Dr. Hartman was on our program discussing his book, https://amzn.to/3hGuB4R (“Spend A Year With Jesus”,) But today, we will be concluding our discussion of his recent book, titled, https://amzn.to/3xKkeCq (“Jesus Is Everything: Discovering It All When There Is Nothing Left But Jesus.”)
To live our Faith, to openly serve and proclaim Jesus as Lord, as you say, to “live the Gospel,” – that requires courage in this current politically correct climate today. Does your book share how someone who may be struggling with sharing their Faith, how they can find the courage to take a Faith stand in the face of this kind of opposition?
You share that following Jesus is simple to understand – but hard to be completely faithful 100% of the time. What should we do when we come up short and are now feeling a sense of “letting the Lord down?”
In the first chapter of your book, you discuss “The man in the bed.” Can you explain this concept?
You teach that Jesus is able to give us total freedom, if we are obedient. Doesn’t that seem like a conflicting statement? Freedom versus Obedience?
Dr. Bruce, you share in your book that Jesus is the ONLY permanent force in our life. How can someone use that type of relationship to move forward in this world which we find ourselves in? What with the COVID lockdowns, the protests, the political instability, etc. How can someone come to the place of just leaning on the Lord and trusting in Him?

Jesus is Everything Dr. Bruce Hartman pt 1Many people today are always striving to move up the next rung on the career ladder. Always trying to get more, do more or be more.

Let me ask you, when you were contemplating making the move from your corporate career and returning to school to earn Masters in Divinity degree and then continuing on to earn your Doctorate – what was the driving motivation that prompted you to make that kind of move?
I know that, in your heart, you believe you were making the right move. What about your peers in the corporate world? What were their thoughts on what you were about to do and how did that weigh on your mind?
You emphasize you are not a traditional minister. But you sensed the Lord was calling you into a form of media ministry. Can you explain that for us?
What made you believe this book, https://amzn.to/3xKkeCq (“Jesus is Everything,”) was needful for this time in which we live today?
To live our Faith, to openly serve and proclaim Jesus as Lord, as you say, to “live the Gospel,” – that requires courage in this current politically correct climate today.

Freedom and Liberty Under Attack Steve Cassell pt 3We are going to be concluding this great interview with my good friend Pastor Steve Cassell of the Beloved Church in Lena, Illinois. This is part three of our interview and if you missed any, and I mean any of the preceding two episodes, well, you need to go back and catch up.
Pastor Steve Cassell was the first pastor in America to file legal challenges against executive orders during the pandemic which shut down churches in America.
He was the lone voice speaking out against the illegal executive orders mandating that everyone had to wear masks, stop attending church services and limiting the freedom of assembly and, basically, keeping people under house arrest and destroying small businesses in America.
Do you see the church entering a period of revival because of all the chaos going on around us?
It amazes me how clearly we can see events accelerating to what the Bible calls, “the last days and the soon return of Jesus,” but yet, it seems nobody wants to discuss that. It’s almost as if they are afraid of, literally, “scaring the hell out of somebody.” But that is what is needed right now. We need to “scare the hell out of people” because if not, they will be going to hell.
This all relates to, what is called, the finished work on the cross. Jesus accomplished it all – and told us to go forth and occupy until He returns. I think the church has abdicated that responsibility, raised the white flag and surrendered society to the devil.
But, that goes back to what Jesus said, the path is narrow and there are few that will find it. But the path that leads to destruction is wide. I think we can see the path the leaders of this nation are leading us down.
That just means true, Spiritual leaders, such as yourself and others, going against the grain, going against the current of culture, are fighting to stay on the narrow path that leads to eternal life.
Pastor Steve, if someone wanted to get in touch with you, maybe get some additional information on your ministry or your church, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
Folks, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of staying true to the Word of God. True to those who are actually leading the fight against tyranny and the destruction of this nation, formed as a Christian nation by our forefathers, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, founded on the Word of God. But a nation that is rapidly devolving into a horde of satanic worship from the office of the president on down. Very few are speaking out against the immorality that is taking place. And even fewer are doing anything about it.
I encourage you to get in touch with Pastor Steve. Ask your questions. Sign up and stay in touch with his ministry.

Freedom and Liberty Under Attack Steve Cassell pt 1With all of the racial problems, all of the turmoil, all of the major metropolitan cities in devolving into jungles of hate, crime and murders, people are asking “What in the world is going on?”
Almost all of the turmoil we see, in the news every night, in the streets we drive down, can be attributed to one major concept – politicians in America have left their calling to serve Christ first, and have sold their souls to the devil in exchange for power. Boiled down to its basic element, that is it.
Well, my guest today has been on the front lines of calling out corrupt political stunts that have had adverse effects on society. He was the lone voice speaking out against the illegal executive orders mandating that everyone had to wear masks, stop attending church services and limiting the freedom of assembly and basically keeping people under house arrest and destroying the small businesses in America.
He was the first pastor in the nation to do so and, you could say, he took some heat. From peers and foes alike.
Steve Cassell is the founder of “Steve Cassell Ministries” and senior pastor at “Beloved Church” located in Lena, Illinois. Steven, his wife, Kay, and I attended Bible School at the same time back in the late 1990’s at JSMI Bible Institute and School of World Evangelism under the teaching of Dr. Jerry Savelle.
I’ve had Steve on a few times over the past couple of years and I always look forward to his Holy Spirit inspired interviews. Amen! Steve is also a broadcaster on Evangelism Radio and his program can be heard Monday – Sunday from 3-4pm ET at evangelismradio.com.
Let’s start by catching up everyone, you filed the first lawsuit in the nation against the lockdowns, etc., as I described. What has been going on since then?
When you first started down that path, you were like David walking out in front of the Israelites to confront Goliath. They were all hiding behind their closed church doors telling you not go out and confront the giant. What was that battle like and when did the tide begin to change?
Folks, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of staying true to the Word of God. True to those who are actually leading the fight against tyranny and the destruction of this nation, formed as a Christian nation by our forefathers, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, founded on the Word of God. But a nation that is rapidly devolving into a horde of satanic worship from the office of the president on down. Very few are speaking out against the immorality that is taking place. And even fewer are doing anything about it.
