    Inside the World's Darkest Places | Craig D. Forrest on Faith, Media & Truth (Ep. 334)

    Tonight, Joe sits down with award-winning television director, documentary filmmaker, author, and global traveler Craig D. Forrest for a fascinating conversation about storytelling, faith, media, and the human condition. Craig shares how firsthand experiences covering terrorism, voodoo, cults, humanitarian crises, and life in some of the world's most dangerous regions strengthened his faith instead of destroying it. Together, Joe and Craig discuss the evolution of television and filmmaking, the rise of artificial intelligence, shrinking attention spans, why authentic storytelling still matters, and what the modern media often misses when reporting on world events. They also dive into Craig's memoir, Night Train to Cairo, and explore how decades spent behind the camera shaped his understanding of truth, culture, and the enduring power of stories. If you enjoy thoughtful long-form conversations exploring faith, culture, history, technology, current events, and the people behind the ideas, this is an episode you won't want to miss.  Watch LIVE tonight at 7PM CT Rumble.com/JoeRooz YouTube.com/@JoeRooz   FOLLOW US ON: X: https://x.com/joerooz Facebook: https://facebook.com/joeroozshow Twitch TV: https://twitch.tv/joerooz Instagram: https://instagram.com/notjoerooz TikTok: https://tiktok.com/joe.rooz Minds: https://minds.com/joerooz GETTR: https://gettr.com/joerooz Special thanks to: Executive Producer Wayne Rankin Executive Producer Rosanna Rankin Executive Producer Carolina Jimenez Executive Producer Angela Wetuski Executive Producer John Seeley Want to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?

    Preparedness Isn't About Fear—It's About Living Well (Ep. 333)

    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.  Watch LIVE tonight at 7PM CT Rumble.com/JoeRooz YouTube.com/@JoeRooz   FOLLOW US ON: X: https://x.com/joerooz Facebook: https://facebook.com/joeroozshow Twitch TV: https://twitch.tv/joerooz Instagram: https://instagram.com/notjoerooz TikTok: https://tiktok.com/joe.rooz Minds: https://minds.com/joerooz GETTR: https://gettr.com/joerooz Special thanks to: Executive Producer Wayne Rankin Executive Producer Rosanna Rankin Executive Producer Carolina Jimenez Executive Producer Angela Wetuski Executive Producer John Seeley Want to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?

    Who Should Control AI? Jordan Miller on Truth, Prediction & the Future (Ep. 332)

    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.

  4. Revelation 16: The Seven Bowls of God’s Wrath (Ep. 331)

    Revelation 16: The Seven Bowls of God’s Wrath (Ep. 331)

    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 tonight at 7PM CT Rumble.com/JoeRooz YouTube.com/@JoeRooz   FOLLOW US ON: X: https://x.com/joerooz Facebook: https://facebook.com/joeroozshow Twitch TV: https://twitch.tv/joerooz Instagram: https://instagram.com/notjoerooz TikTok: https://tiktok.com/joe.rooz Minds: https://minds.com/joerooz GETTR: https://gettr.com/joerooz Special thanks to: Executive Producer Wayne Rankin Executive Producer Rosanna Rankin Executive Producer Carolina Jimenez Executive Producer Angela Wetuski Executive Producer John Seeley Want to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?

    Can AI Replace Human Creativity? | Russell Anders (Ep. 330)

    Join us LIVE as Joe sits down with author Russell Anders for a thought-provoking conversation about storytelling, creativity, cyberpunk fiction, artificial intelligence, and the power stories have to shape culture. Can AI ever replace human imagination? Why do so many modern movies and television shows feel empty despite massive budgets? What separates meaningful storytelling from simple entertainment? Russell shares his journey from decades of writing and rewriting manuscripts to publishing his debut novel, Daemones ex Machina, while offering practical advice for aspiring writers, creatives, and anyone interested in the future of art in the age of artificial intelligence. This conversation goes far beyond science fiction. Together, Joe and Russell explore creativity, discipline, culture, philosophy, technology, and why the stories we choose to tell—and consume—matter more than ever.  Watch LIVE tonight at 7PM CT Rumble.com/JoeRooz YouTube.com/@JoeRooz   FOLLOW US ON: X: https://x.com/joerooz Facebook: https://facebook.com/joeroozshow Twitch TV: https://twitch.tv/joerooz Instagram: https://instagram.com/notjoerooz TikTok: https://tiktok.com/joe.rooz Minds: https://minds.com/joerooz GETTR: https://gettr.com/joerooz Special thanks to: Executive Producer Wayne Rankin Executive Producer Rosanna Rankin Executive Producer Carolina Jimenez Executive Producer Angela Wetuski Executive Producer John Seeley Want to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?

    Structure, Self-Sufficiency, and the Prepared Life (Ep. 329)

    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 tonight at 7PM CT Rumble.com/JoeRooz YouTube.com/@JoeRooz   FOLLOW US ON: X: https://x.com/joerooz Facebook: https://facebook.com/joeroozshow Twitch TV: https://twitch.tv/joerooz Instagram: https://instagram.com/notjoerooz TikTok: https://tiktok.com/joe.rooz Minds: https://minds.com/joerooz GETTR: https://gettr.com/joerooz Special thanks to: Executive Producer Wayne Rankin Executive Producer Rosanna Rankin Executive Producer Carolina Jimenez Executive Producer Angela Wetuski Executive Producer John Seeley Want to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?

    Revelation 15: When God's Wrath Is Filled Up (Ep. 328)

    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 CT Rumble.com/JoeRooz YouTube.com/@JoeRooz  Watch LIVE tonight at 7PM CT Rumble.com/JoeRooz YouTube.com/@JoeRooz   FOLLOW US ON: X: https://x.com/joerooz Facebook: https://facebook.com/joeroozshow Twitch TV: https://twitch.tv/joerooz Instagram: https://instagram.com/notjoerooz TikTok: https://tiktok.com/joe.rooz Minds: https://minds.com/joerooz GETTR: https://gettr.com/joerooz Special thanks to: Executive Producer Wayne Rankin Executive Producer Rosanna Rankin Executive Producer Carolina Jimenez Executive Producer Angela Wetuski Executive Producer John Seeley Want to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?

    What if History isn’t Random? | John Zachary (Ep. 327)

    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.
