Finding Washington
Richard Raines pt 1
https://amzn.to/3oagreE ()For those that know me, and now for those that don’t know me as well, I’m a history buff. I have been since middle school. I just love history. Especially WWII history. But second to that is the founding fathers and the Revolutionary War.

One of my favorite of all founding fathers, is George Washington.

In fact, if you compare the integrity, virtues and leadership ability of almost any President since Washington, you would find most of the lacking in some sense. Especially in this day and time – don’t get me started. Amen!

Why am I talking about history and George Washington today? I’m so glad you asked!

Our guest today is Richard Raines, author of an absolutely great book titled, https://amzn.to/3oagreE (“Finding Washington: Why America Needs to Rediscover the Virtues of Her Most Essential Founding Father.”) Let’s just say this book should be a must read for every presidential candidate considering running for office. Amen!

Richard is not only an author, but a Professor of Christian History and Christian Theology, a former CEO and a former elected official (but we won’t hold that against him)…

First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Richard Raines?”

Everyone thinks of George Washington as this “super patriot.” But, from what I remember, he was actually an officer in the British army and was refused a promotion because he was a “colonist.” Is that right and what are your thoughts on that?

Washington’s first major command actually resulted in a surrender, correct?

How do you think this shaped his strategic planning for the Revolutionary War?

But didn’t he make a huge mistake in trying to defend Staten Island in New York?

We are taking with Richard Raine, author of an absolutely fabulous book, https://amzn.to/3oagreE (“Finding Washington: Why America Needs to Rediscover the Virtues of Her Most Essential Founding Father.”)

Richard, Washington was involved in another major battle the very next year. Tell us about the “Battle of Monongahela?”

Folks, George Washington was – and still is – an American treasure. Without him, this nation probably would not exist. He did so much in the formation of this great country. From leading a ragtag bunch of individualists and using them to defeat the largest military in the world (at that time); to motivating the squabbling delegates from the states to finally group together and take a stand for Liberty; to helping to form the office of the Presidency as we know it today and take on the title of king… We owe him an eternal debt of gratitude.

I urge you, if you enjoy reading about history; if you have children or grandchildren that you want to leave a positive legacy for – order Richard Raines book, https://amzn.to/3oagreE (“Finding Washington: Why America Needs to Rediscover the Virtues of Her Most Essential Founding Father.”)

Forgiving the Nightmare
Mark Sowersby pt 2
https://amzn.to/3yTDIGT ()Forgiveness. That’s something all Christians are called to do, right? Sometimes, it is easier to say rather than do though.

But for some, life is not all sunshine and roses. It’s a nightmare. One that they cannot wake up from. One that drags them further and further into a deepening pit that they cannot seem to climb out of.

Our guest today lived that nightmare…

Suffering from physical, emotional and sexual abuse from the age of 7 until 14, in ways that most people cannot even imagine, Mark Sowersby emerged hurt, broken, resentful, rebellious and, well, the list goes on and on.

Then, one day, someone asked him to go to church. He heard the message of salvation and a seed was planted.

Forgiveness did not pop up like Jonah’s gourd. No, it took time.

Matthew tells us we need to forgive… But sometimes, there are time gaps between knowing what to do and actually doing it.

Pastor Mark Sowersby is the author of a great book detailing his journey. It’s titled, “https://amzn.to/3yTDIGT (Forgiving the Nightmare.”) Mark is also the lead pastor at Calvary Community Church in Dudley, MA. He is here today to discuss his book and to share his story in the hope of touching someone somewhere with that same kind of seed. The seed of forgiveness.

This is the conclusion of a great, two part interview with Pastor Mark...

In your book, https://amzn.to/3yTDIGT (“Forgiving the Nightmare,”) you talk about the “journey” that you are on. Can you share with us about, what you call, “forgiving at different levels?”

Are there still times when something happens that brings those nightmares back and you must forgive again?

Do you still have a relationship with your mother?

Your personal ministry is also titled, https://amzn.to/3yTDIGT (“Forgiving the Nightmare.”) Every person has their own kind of “nightmare” which they are living with. Something that the devil has used to try and keep us in some sort of bondage and not serving the Lord the way we would like to. How do you help those like that to overcome their nightmares?

Pastor, this has all been so interesting. How can someone order your book, https://amzn.to/3yTDIGT (“Forgiving the Nightmare?”) Is it available on Amazon?

If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or possibly 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 this down in the show notes below…

Folks, not everyone has gone through life carrying the burden Pastor Mark has had to carry. But each one of us has had to carry something. Jesus is big enough to handle it. Jesus can remove those burdens and help you to forgive. Forgive those who have hurt you and even to forgive yourself.

If you prayed that prayer with Pastor Mark, reach out to him today, right now! Let him know that you prayed with him. Amen!

Forgiving the Nightmare
Mark Sowersby pt 1
https://amzn.to/3yTDIGT ()Forgiveness. That’s something all Christians are called to do, right? Sometimes, it is easier to say rather than do though. Don’t shout me down when I’m preaching good! You know what I’m talking about!

Help me welcome to the program, Pastor Mark Sowersby.

Pastor, thank you for taking the time to join us today!

First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Mark Sowersby?”

Your father was absent during your upbringing and you were raised by your mother. But that does not sound like it was a nurturing relationship either. Share with us just a little of what growing up in this environment was like?

Did your mother know what was happening?

Did any teachers or anyone in authority ever question what was going on?

Did you have any friends you confided in?

You said it stopped about age 14. How did your uncle provided the support you needed?

How did you come to meet the Lord?

How did you receive your calling into the ministry? Surely, the enemy tried to dissuade you from answering that calling, right?

You’re familiar with the story of Jacob wrestling with the angel who touched his hip and gave him a new name. The Bible says, basically, he walked with a limp the rest of his life, that’s the way I see it. But it was a continual reminder that his past was past and he now had a new name, Israel. He could never forget that the “old Jacob” was different from the man named “Israel.” Do you see yourself relating to Jacob in that matter?

Why did you write your book, https://amzn.to/3yTDIGT (“Forgiving the Nightmare”) at this point in your life?

Folks, not everyone has gone through life carrying the burden Pastor Mark has had to carry. But each one of us has had to carry something. Jesus is big enough to handle it. Jesus can remove those burdens and help you to forgive. Forgive those who have hurt you and even to forgive yourself.

"The Godhead"
Dr. Richard Ruhling
"MegaQuake 2023 is Coming!"
https://amzn.to/3qMlWSr ()My guest today is a frequent guest on our program. I always look forward to Dr. Richard Ruhling’s appearances as his knowledge on a variety of topics always speaks directly to things we see happening all around us. From the COVID virus to eating healthy instead of taking toxic medications; from signs of the times to warnings from the Bible, Dr. Ruhling has proven himself to be an expert that we can turn to for a wealth of information.

This is part two of a great interview I recently had with Dr. Ruhling. The information he is about to share is so important, I wanted to allow us the time to do a "deep dive" into the topic of "The Godhead" and what he is about to share!

He is releasing a new book right now, https://amzn.to/3qMlWSr (“Mega Quake 2023”) that goes into great detail on WHY we are now entering the “last days” before the return of Jesus. But he goes a lot deeper than just “saying” we are in the last days. He is sharing a wealth of information – all with the purpose for YOU to give God and Jesus another chance. Amen!

Last time you were on, we discussed your most recent book, https://amzn.to/3qMlWSr (“Mega Quake 2023.”) We talked a bit about the coming earthquakes, how they will increase in frequency and intensity.

But you were about to get into something very important and I wanted to have enough time for you to explain it. Share with us what you learned about the "The Godhead."

Dr. Ruhling explains some insights into the Godhead…

Dr. Ruhling explains things we are seeing today as they relate to the “wedding parables” in Luke 12.

Dr. Ruhling gives a great explanation on the “Song of Solomon” and how it relates to Christ.

Dr. Ruhling gives an indepth explanation about “The Holy Spirit” (and it makes complete sense) and the “Wedding Supper of the Lamb.”

Dr. Ruhling shares how we can understand these things a bit differently than most Evangelical churches have been interpreting them.

You believe this is going to occur in 2023? Just in a few months from now. You have, I believe, 3 time lines in your book, https://amzn.to/3qMlWSr (“MegaQuake 2023”) that point to this event. Can you share a bit more on this for us?

Dr. Ruhling, once again, you have given us a lot of information to process. How can someone obtain a copy of your book, https://amzn.to/3qMlWSr (“Mega Quake 2023”)? Is it available on Amazon?

Folks, I’m telling you, mark my words… we are living in the last hours of the last days of life on earth as we know it. You need to get ahold of Dr. Richard Ruhling’s book, https://amzn.to/3qMlWSr (“Mega Quake 2023”) and learn for yourself what is happening today.

Just use the email or website links down below to get in touch with Dr. Ruhling and receive your FREE copy of this book, https://amzn.to/3qMlWSr (“Mega Quake 2023”) from Dr. Ruhling. Amen!

If you prefer to order direct from Amazon, you can do that, too!
Dr. Ruhling, thank you for taking the time to come back on the program today and bless us with the Lord has shown you and giving us an opportunity to help you “Get the Word Out!” Amen!

MegaQuake 2023 – Richard Ruhling
“Get Ready – It’s Almost Time”
https://amzn.to/3qMlWSr ()With all that has been happening in the world, and especially here in the United States recently, some are wondering if this all points to the Biblical “end times” as depicted in the Bible. In fact, in the Book of Daniel, he is told to “…shut up these words and seal the book until the time of the end. Many will roam to and fro and knowledge will increase.”

Last time you were on, we discussed your most recent book, https://amzn.to/3qMlWSr (“Mega Quake 2023.”) We talked a bit about the coming earthquakes, how they will increase in frequency and intensity. Have you discovered, through your research, any further information on these earthquakes that will start to, literally, “shake the world?”

You say the earthquake you just described is encoded 4 ways. What are those 4 ways and what does it all mean?

Dr. Ruhling shares scripture insights that line up various prophecies that point to a huge earthquake (a shaking) in 2023!

(He ties together scriptures from both the Old Testament and the New Testament - you need to listen to this)!

A Mission to Help the Vets
Jane Babcock pt 3
https://kcrpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Jane-Babcock.jpeg ()These last few years, there has been an increase awareness about the terrible care our military veterans have received.

Thank God for the efforts President Trump put into this area that did show some promising improvements and results. Amen!

But there is still a long way, a very long way, to go.

Our vets, their spouses and their families are hurting. They are suffering. And when they try to navigate the myriad mazes that consist in our government, they get lost and give up. Or they fall through the cracks and start over again. And again. And again.

But, all hope is not lost. There is a team of volunteers out there that take this very, very seriously. Our guest today has formed a grass roots mission, “National Promises Made But Not Kept by the VA.”

Jane Babcock has been a volunteer for over 12 years, serving the veterans in her state of Wisconsin, but also helping others nationwide! Praise God.

Through her volunteer training and guidance, with one-on-one virtual calls, live and podcast interviews, in person group and virtual classes, Jane has been on the forefront of helping veterans navigate the mazes of bureaucracy, especially inside the VA. Amen!

Her mission is to educate every veteran, their families, and their widow(or)s on the benefits which the VA seems happy to keep secret.

This is part three of a great three part interview!
What about funeral benefits? Do VA Counselors also help with those?

I’ve heard that a veteran should “prearrange” funeral plans in a VA cemetery, well before their death or that of a spouse. How is that accomplished if they are not in a terminal state of health?

You are trying to put together a media push to get this information out there before Veterans Day. Can you share what it is you are trying to put together?

Before we close, you mentioned something about “war time pensions.” What is it you would like to share?

What about a vet that has a good income, health insurance, etc., but would like to have their prescriptions filled by the VA and still have that annual physical. Is that something that the vet can do?

Jane, this has really been informative. I know I’ve learned a lot and our listeners have as well.

How can they reach out to a local benefits educator in their area? How can they find someone like you that can help them locally?

If someone had a question or wanted to get in touch with you, maybe to do an interview like this, how can they do that?

Folks, as a veteran and just as an American, I’m shocked to see how bureaucracy has treated and continues to treat our heroes. It is a tragedy. It really is.

But folks like Jane Babcock are there to help.

If you want to get in touch with your local VA benefits educator, look them up. Find a contact number. Email Jane and tell here where you are located and she can probably refer you to someone or maybe email you the info you need to get started. Amen!

This is something YOU need to take control of. Amen!

I urge you, if you are a veteran or a family member of a veteran or are just aware of a situation involving a veteran, please get in touch with Jane or a local representative and get the help that is due to the veterans. Amen!
