The Joe Rooz Show

In this heartfelt live episode from Eagle Pass, I welcome internationally certified mentor and author Doug Lawrence to unpack grief—why it’s misunderstood, how it shows up differently for everyone, and what genuine support looks like, especially during the holidays. We explore the evolution of mentoring from command-and-tell to trust-based guidance, how structured and unstructured mentoring can bolster mental health, and why asking for help isn’t weakness but wisdom. Doug shares how losing his wife after 43 years reshaped his understanding of grief, the importance of communication and boundaries around holiday invitations, and practical ways friends and workplaces can truly support the grieving. We also touch on closure, the role of mentors as active listeners, and why grief has no end date—only a personal, ongoing healing journey.Plus, I open up about my own experiences with loss, seasonal struggles, and the pressure to “be festive,” offering an honest look at coping in real time. We close with where to find Doug and his book, Grief, The Silent Pandemic, and a reminder that our live shows stream across multiple platforms with replays available anytime.

In this Sunday Bible Study episode of The Joe Rooz Show, I guide you through a sweeping, practical overview of the Book of Judges as part of our dispensations series. We set the historical stage after Joshua’s death, explore Israel’s repeated cycle of sin, suffering, supplication, and salvation, and unpack why “every man did that which was right in his own eyes” (Judges 21:25) serves as the book’s key verse. We look closely at Gideon, Jephthah, and Samson—their faith, failures, and how God’s mercy shines through—while drawing everyday applications on separation, compromise, parenting, and trusting God through trials. I challenge you to read Judges this week with fresh eyes, note its practical principles, and consider how rehearsing God’s victories in your home and church can safeguard the next generation’s faith.We also recap recent and upcoming programs, invite questions and feedback, and encourage you to join us live for future studies as we continue through the Law and prepare for what’s ahead in the series. Stay connected, share the episode, and let us know where you’d like the study to go next.

In this Saturday crypto psychic edition, I welcome back our resident crypto psychic, Marisa Lee, for a candid, high-energy catch‑up on the roller‑coaster crypto markets and her 2026 predictions. We dig into why large-cap coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Chainlink, and Solana could move first on ETF flows and bank recommendations, why some altcoins (including Algorand) may lag short term due to portfolio rotation, and why patience and accumulation still matter. Marisa lays out a near-term window—late December into January/February—for meaningful market improvement, plus a broader 2026 outlook featuring more altcoin ETFs, potential tax changes, and macro shifts she believes can set up a stronger second half of the year. We also roam into precious metals, stablecoin payouts for creators, platform monetization headaches, safety cautions for large public events, geopolitical flashpoints, and the politics-meets-markets dynamic that could influence sentiment. It’s an unscripted, funny, and frank conversation that blends market talk with real-life challenges and a few unexpected laughs along the way.Resources and mentions (non-sponsor): XRP, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Chainlink, Solana, Algorand; discussion of crypto ETFs; stablecoin creator payouts; Rumble and YouTube creator tools; market mindset: accumulation, time horizons, and diversification.

In this Friday night episode of The Joe Rooz Show, I welcome homesteader, theologian, and author David Libby for a deeply encouraging, Scripture-saturated conversation on suffering, God’s sovereignty, apologetics, and authentic Christian living. From his family’s years-long battle with Lyme disease to the theological foundations that sustained him, David shares how head knowledge becomes heart-level faith through trials. We dig into why suffering exists, how God refines believers through hardship, the harmony of divine sovereignty and human responsibility, and what it means to stay watchful and courageous in a complacent church age. We also talk homesteading life in rural Maine, living self-sufficiently, and cultivating a life of prayer, Scripture, and obedience as the world grows darker. David closes us in a powerful prayer—an exhortation to rise, watch, and fight the good fight with steadfast hope. If this conversation challenged or encouraged you, let me know via the site contact form or email. And if you missed my recent chat with Werner Neff, catch the replay—then meet us for Sunday’s Bible study as we continue our walk through the Law and trace how it points to Christ.

In this episode, I pull back the curtain on a hectic week at the Asylum Studios in Eagle Pass and kick off a thoughtful conversation with political economist and author Werner Neff. Despite last‑minute inspection chaos at my day job and some live-show tech gremlins, Werner and I dive deep into civic culture, democratic norms, and why polarization is eroding trust in America. Drawing on his Swiss background and his book, “What Would the Founding Fathers Tell Us Today?”, Werner explores how republics function best when citizens practice compromise, respect constitutional limits, and engage in real debate rather than party-line tribalism. We cover gerrymandering, the two-party stranglehold, the value of civic education, and practical steps for communities to strengthen democracy. The hour wraps with programming updates and a candid note on schedule changes for the rest of the week. Resources mentioned include Werner’s website and his recommended read on democratic backsliding. I also share ways to stay connected with the show and upcoming episodes, including our crypto segment and Sunday Bible study, while leaving out sponsor chatter so you can focus on the conversation that matters.Guest: Werner Neff — political economist; author of “What Would the Founding Fathers Tell Us Today?” Topic highlights: civic trust, polarization, gerrymandering, two‑party dynamics, ethical leadership, and practical civics.

Broadcasting from Eagle Pass, Texas, I kick off the week with returning guest and veteran journalist Patrick Sangimino to explore how American journalism changed over the last four decades—from the heyday of local newspapers to today’s social-media-driven news cycle. We talk trust, bias, and the pivotal role of community reporting in holding local officials accountable, plus how national narratives, COVID coverage, polling, and predictive markets have warped public perception. Patrick shares stories from his 40-year career, why Watergate inspired a generation, how unnamed sources erode credibility, and why athletes and politicians bypass the press via direct-to-fan platforms. We also touch on his book, Dogs Chase Cars, its upcoming audiobook, and his new project about life after a newsroom career. Along the way: holiday reflections, family moments, the joy of minor league and high school sports, and why reading long-form still matters in a 280-character world.Resources and links mentioned: Patrick’s website at patricksangimino.com; follow Patrick on X at @PSangimino and on Instagram at @PatrickSangimino.

In this Sunday Bible study, I walk through the Tabernacle from a dispensational perspective, showing how its structure and rituals point directly to Jesus Christ. We explore Hebrews 9–10 and Exodus 29 to connect the brazen altar, laver, table of showbread, golden candlesticks, altar of incense, veil, and Holy of Holies with the work of Christ—our High Priest who entered once with His own blood for eternal redemption. I break down the Ark of the Covenant, the mercy seat, cherubim, and the contents of the ark, and survey the rich symbolism of the tabernacle’s materials (gold, silver, brass, colors, linens, skins, and wood). We trace the progressive revelation from Adam to the Passover, highlight the awe and separation required to approach God, and preview prophetic implications in Ezekiel 40–48 for millennial worship. The core message: you cannot approach God without the blood—behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.I also outline seven “steps” through the tabernacle as a picture of salvation and sanctification—sacrifice at the brazen altar (the cross), cleansing at the laver (separation), feeding on the bread of life, walking in the light, prayer as incense, and entering the presence of God. We close with an invitation to salvation and a call to live with holy reverence as the dwelling place of God.

In this packed Friday night show, I kicked things off from Asylum Studios in Eagle Pass, Texas and welcomed two compelling guests. First up was Robert Rosen, author of Nowhere Man: The Final Days of John Lennon. We dug into the origins of his book, his access to Lennon’s diaries, and how he blended investigation with restrained imagination—especially around Lennon’s vivid dream practices, occult interests, yoga and numerology, and his surprisingly intense fixation on Paul McCartney. Robert also shared how a brief born-again phase drew unexpected attention from Christian media and why he believes Nowhere Man captures Lennon’s inner world like no other biography.In hour two, I sat down with Dr. Katherine Hayes—author, editor, educator, and host of Murder, Mystery & Mayhem Laced with Morality. We explored her multicultural roots, her path from ministry curricula to thrillers, and the heart behind her novel A Fifth of the Story: trauma, truth, and the power of that ‘one-fifth’—what God sees. Katherine talked crafting complex characters (including a white supremacist), writing authentic male voices, and serving military families alongside her veteran husband.

Tonight I hosted a lively, free‑wheeling two-hour show from Eagle Pass, Texas. In hour one, trial lawyer-turned-novelist Russell Little joined me to talk life, writing, bourbon, cigars, and ultimately his hurricane-drenched thriller, Murder by Storm. We swapped stories about Houston, West Texas, old fashioned's (Maker’s Mark vs. 1792), dogs, pasta sauce, and how real hurricanes reshape people and crime scenes—then dug into how Russell builds characters from unforgettable real-life personalities, why Harvey was the perfect backdrop for a murder mystery, and the challenge of writing a razor-sharp antagonist named Marilyn. We also touched on his children’s books inspired by African wildlife and his granddaughter.Hour two, the Blue Cat himself—comedian and Static Radio co-host Bob LeMent—returned for a fast, funny riff on 24 years of unscripted podcasting, the evolution from “internet radio” to today’s all-media landscape, avatars, AR/VR’s bumpy road, and why video podcasts are just media now. We talked traffic, living in flyover country, why most creators still self-censor, what AI really is (a supercharged plagiarism machine), and where digital personas may be headed. Bob gave shoutouts to his wife’s recent wins, plugged Static Radio, and promised to come back for a holiday round two. A big thanks to our producing team and to all of you for joining in—see you Friday at 7 PM CT for more live talk and laughs.Resources and links: Russell Little: russelllittleauthor.com | Book: Murder by Storm.

Broadcasting from Eagle Pass, I kicked off an unplanned Monday show with a candid mood check, some playful banter about “pop-ins,” and a quick riff on why we’ve recently shifted away from heavy politics toward more author and creator interviews. Then we dove into a lively conversation with guest Dannie Mendoza, president of Eagle Pass PopCon. Danny announced a special mini Eagle Pass PopCon event slated for January 31 at the Eagle Pass Mall (free admission, open-to-close), featuring professional cosplayers, a “mini” celebrity guest (wrestler or voice actor), vendors, family activities, and a three-tier costume contest (kids, teens, adults) judged by pro cosplayers. He also teased a big reveal at the mini event: the date, location, and star guest for the main Eagle Pass PopCon 3 later in the year. Danny explained how PopCon grew from a marketing initiative connected to his energy/solar business into a community-centric, family-friendly celebration that draws visitors from beyond Texas. We covered vendor and sponsor opportunities, special limited-time discounts, and how supporting PopCon can also support this show. Audience Q&A touched on collectibles (yes, action figures), desired 3D-printed originals, and how out-of-town interest is shaping the event. We closed with where to follow PopCon news, a reminder that admission is free, and notes on upcoming guests and show schedule. Join us Wednesday for author Russell Little and the return of Blue Cat (Bob Lement)!

In this Bible Study Sunday, I  reflect on the spirit of Thanksgiving, genuine friendship, and gratitude for our growing community. From there, we continue our multi-week series on dispensations, revisiting last week’s Passover study and moving into a doctrinal exploration of kingdoms, crowns, and the law—why the Bible devotes so much space to the rise and fall of governments, how Moses served as a king in Jeshurun, and how Israel was called to be a kingdom of priests. We trace the “path of the crowns” from Adam to Noah to Abraham to Moses, contrast the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God, and consider how amillennial approaches misplace hope in political reform rather than in Christ. Digging into Scripture (Deuteronomy 33, Exodus 4, Leviticus 26), we examine God’s covenant promises and warnings, the reality of divine blessing and discipline, and the persistent pattern of human collapse revealed in Judges. We discuss why Satan’s opposition broadened from individuals to an entire nation, why antisemitism recurs through history, and how God preserves Israel because of His unconditional covenant. Along the way, we touch on seven baptisms in Scripture, the difference between inspirational and doctrinal applications, and the sustaining hope of the rapture. The takeaway: only Jesus Christ—Prophet, Priest, and King—can restore what the first Adam lost, and our trust must be in Him, not in human systems. Join us next week as we begin tabernacle worship and how people were saved under the law.

In this Thanksgiving-eve episode, I broadcast live from Eagle Pass and welcome Dr. Don Weber—global communication strategist, former human intelligence operative, and executive coach—for a candid, wide-ranging conversation on trust, body language myths, mindful leadership, and how to genuinely connect when speaking. Don shares gripping insights from years operating under multiple identities across 90+ countries, the psychological toll and discipline required, and the path that led him from high-stakes fieldwork to coaching leaders on strategic empathy and presence. We also dig into public speaking that persuades versus merely performs, why motives matter more than micro-gestures, and how mindfulness and self-awareness anchor effective communication—especially under pressure.In the second segment, I’m joined by Ruben Camarillo, host of the Now You Know Eagle Pass podcast and newly announced candidate for Maverick County Judge. We talk gratitude, plans for Thanksgiving, the realities of running locally, and keeping community-focused conversations alive. I wrap with show updates, ways to support, and a heartfelt thank-you to our producers and listeners. Happy Thanksgiving—go podcasting!

In this Bible Study Sunday, I broadcast from Eagle Pass and continue our series on Dispensations, moving from the patriarchs into the Dispensation of the Law. I set the stage with Israel’s 400 years in Egyptian bondage and introduce the Passover as both a historic event and a powerful type pointing to Christ, our Passover.We walk through the ten plagues as judgments on Egypt’s gods, then focus on Pharaoh’s four compromises—worship in the land, don’t go far, leave the family, and leave your possessions—and how these mirror the enemy’s tactics to keep believers tied to the world. We then dive into Exodus 12 to examine the Passover lamb: its purity, the application of the blood by hyssop (a picture of accessible faith), the necessity of applying—not merely analyzing—the blood, and feeding on the roasted lamb as a picture of fellowship with Christ.I close with a pastoral appeal to reject compromise, trust fully in the blood of the Lamb, and live with the joy and assurance that flows from obedience and faith.Coming up in the series: the giving of the Law at Sinai, tabernacle worship, the judges, the kings and divided kingdom, the captivities, the prophets through John the Baptist, and tracing the crowns of the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God—so you can gain a clearer grasp of the whole Bible storyline.

Tonight I broadcast live from the Asylum Studios in Eagle Pass, Texas for a two-guest show that dug deep into the real-world impact of prediction markets and the grit of adult paranormal fantasy.In hour one, I sat down with Christopher Gerlacher of Prediction News to unpack how platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket translate breaking legal decisions, debates, and early vote trends into market odds in real time. We explored why markets can be a sharper “nowcast” than polls, how the CFTC and states are colliding over the definition of “gaming,” the rise of sports contracts, and why responsible trading safeguards may be the industry’s sleeper issue. Chris also shared insights from the 2022 midterms, the mechanics of live odds swings, and what campaigns are really watching on election night.In hour two, author and former Army officer Richard Spegal joined me to talk about building unapologetically adult paranormal worlds. We discussed his Eternal Nights prequel duology and Wolves and Ravens trilogy—stories that lean into moral risk, psychological fallout, and brutally real characters. Richard opened up about writing combat-realistic scenes, exploring faith and suicide with care, the challenge of celestial-lore without alienating readers, and why he centers committed partnerships over YA-style love triangles. His next book wraps the Wolves and Ravens arc soon, and I’ll have him back to dive deep once it’s out.

On tonight’s show from the Asylum Studios in Eagle Pass, I kicked off a packed program with returning guest and friend of the show, artist and author Julian Raven. Julian delivered a major update on his ongoing legal battles with the Smithsonian Institution, arguing the Smithsonian is a private charitable trust—"an independent entity"—and not a federal government agency, a distinction he says was underscored by recent leadership turmoil and public statements by the Board of Regents. He laid out his motions now before the D.C. District Court to vacate a 2018 ruling and align the record with law and history, while revisiting the origins of the Smithsonian, James Smithson’s will, and the Institution’s long, complicated funding path. We also explored Julian’s new lawsuit against New York State’s DEC over alleged contamination claims at his Elmira studio, his principled approach to law and citizenship, and why the Declaration of Independence remains his blueprint for civic action.In hour two, Danny Mendoza joined to preview Eagle Pass Pop-con developments. He announced a free “Mini EP Pop-con” planned at the Eagle Pass Mall (targeting January 31, 11 AM–6 PM) featuring pro cosplayers, Star Wars cosplayers, a Hello Kitty appearance, a wrestler signing, and preliminary cosplay contests for kids, teens, and adults. Danny also unveiled early-bird sponsor and vendor opportunities (including steep, limited discounts) that roll into the larger Eagle Pass Pop-con 3, with the full date and theme to be revealed at the mini event. Special thanks to surprise drop-in guest and original EP Pop-con MC, Ruben Camarillo, for sharing on-the-ground perspectives from Pop-con 1 and 2. If you missed Julian’s powerful July 2 appearance, cue it up—his immigration journey and love for America’s founding principles are a must-hear.

In this Bible Study Sunday, I walk through the fifth week of our Dispensations series, focusing on the Patriarchal (Promise) dispensation with Abraham at the center. We trace the “crowns” of the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven, explore Abraham’s unconditional covenant of grace, and unpack why the land promise—from the River of Egypt to the Euphrates—has been history’s most contested ground. I also contrast Premillennial, Postmillennial, and Amillennial positions, explain how those views shape modern theology and geopolitics, and connect Abraham’s faith to New Testament salvation—clarifying imputed righteousness (Genesis 15/Romans 4) versus justification (James 2/Genesis 22). We finish with key truths about sacrifice, the priesthood, and why the kingdom only comes with the King, encouraging listeners to trust Christ and walk by faith, even when it means walking alone.Resources mentioned include numerous Scripture references across Isaiah 41, Genesis 15 & 22, Romans 4, James 2, Hebrews 10, and others, to help you study Abraham’s covenant, the land promise, and the doctrine of salvation in more depth.

In this candid Saturday edition, I sit down with D Paul Fleming—disabled Navy veteran, Native American holy man, and spiritual warrior—to explore the intersections of faith, trauma, healing, and the unseen world. D Paul shares gripping stories from his life and work: surviving harrowing military experiences, confronting darkness during spiritual warfare, and the moment he relinquished and then reclaimed divine protection. We unpack how Native American spirituality and Christian faith can walk hand-in-glove, what it means to be a “hollow bone,” and practical ways to discern spirit versus imagination, raise your spiritual vibration, and reclaim balance across the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual “four corners.” D Paul opens up about his books—including hard-won lessons from childhood trauma, veteran suicide, and true-paranormal encounters at the historic Wyndham Inn—where a resident spirit narrates the tale. We also field a live listener question on “the gray area,” discussing how prayer, meditation, grounding, and intentional faith practices help push back darkness. Come for the storytelling; stay for the spiritual clarity, tough love, and hope-filled encouragement to keep the faith and move forward.Resources mentioned (non-sponsor):- Books by D Paul Fleming on Amazon: “2442 Steps to Crazy,” “A Date with Suicide,” “Mysteries at the Wyndham Inn”- Granddaughter Crow (Dr. Joy Gray): author of “Shamanism and Your Shadow”- Wisdom of the Ages (shop/resources for spiritual tools)Connect with D Paul: Search “D Paul Fleming” on Amazon and Facebook to find his books and contact info.

In this episode, I sit down with Sean Blackwell, author of Bipolar Awakenings: The Quest to Heal Bipolar Disorder, for a deep dive into the intersection of bipolar disorder, spiritual emergence, and nonordinary states of consciousness. We explore Sean’s personal awakening in the 1990s, his early encounters with “spiritual emergency,” and how that experience propelled him into decades of work using transpersonal psychology, holotropic-style breathwork, and what he calls surrogate breathwork to support healing. Sean shares striking stories—from supporting family members through medication-free psychotic breaks to facilitating powerful, somatic releases—while emphasizing safety, humility, and collaboration with psychiatry. We unpack the common “spiritual delusions” seen in acute psychosis, the role of Kundalini and the chakra framework, and why Sean views bipolar episodes as potentially meaningful reorganizations of the psyche rather than purely biological malfunction. He offers grounded guidance for those newly diagnosed (including staying on medications while exploring spiritual work safely), outlines his four-pillar approach (psychiatry, psychology, peer support, spirituality), and points listeners to his free books, training resources, and videos. If you’ve ever questioned the conventional narrative on mental illness—or you’re seeking new language and tools for profound inner transformation—this conversation will challenge and inspire. Resources mentioned: Sean’s website: bipolarawakenings.com (free PDF downloads of both books, training resources, and links to YouTube/Instagram). Key influences include Dr. Stanislav Grof (holotropic breathwork, spiritual emergency) and Ken Wilber (evolution of consciousness).

Tonight I sat down with Mark Burnett—a database programmer turned medical innovator—who shared his remarkable journey through Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, and the unconventional path that helped him regain balance, memory, and daily function. Mark traced his diagnoses back to early-life exposure at Camp Lejeune, then walked us through the research that led him to a little-known plant seed and a no-heat milling process he developed to preserve its active compounds. He described improvements he and other users have experienced, his focus on the brain’s glymphatic “cleanup” system, and why he believes consistent daily use matters, whether for active symptoms or prevention. We also discussed caregiver realities, the limits of standard treatments, and the importance of tracking progress with simple weekly logs and periodic lab work. Mark talked candidly about testing, safety checks (including recent liver panels), completing a Michael J. Fox Foundation race after starting his regimen, and his goal of making the product accessible while keeping quality controls tight. If you or a loved one are navigating Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, or dementia, this conversation offers a mix of cautious hope, practical tips for routine and delivery (cold foods, easy mixing), and resources to learn more, including his free eBook and ongoing updates on his site.'My Brain Restore' (Mark Burnett’s site and eBook): https://mybrainrestore.comHost site: https://joerooz.comMichael J.

In this Bible Study Sunday from Eagle Pass, I share a heartfelt dedication to my late mom before diving into our ongoing survey of dispensational truth—tracing Scripture’s timeline from Genesis through Revelation. We review creation, the fall, and Adam’s lost crowns, then focus on the post-flood “dispensation of human government,” exploring Noah’s covenant, capital punishment, and the consequences at Babel. I walk through how Scripture frames government, why mankind repeats the same mistakes, and how the themes of crowns, kingdoms, and spiritual vs. physical rule run from Adam to the Second Adam, Jesus Christ. We also examine Genesis 6, the “sons of God,” mythic echoes in world cultures, the sociological cycle of nations from Noah’s sons, and why knowing the Scriptures clarifies history, culture, and our present moment.Despite a rough start and a lingering cough, we cover a lot of ground: proper worship reestablished by Noah, the symbolism of the rainbow, the loss and transfer of crowns, the Babel judgment and language dispersion, and the difference between the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God. If you missed our Friday marathon episode with Peter Ticktin and Rory Paquette, I encourage you to catch the replay, and as always, I invite you to search the Scriptures with me so we won’t “err, not knowing the Scriptures.” Joe's GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/raise-funds-to-cover-mortgage-escrow-shortageFOLLOW US ON:RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/joeroozYouTube: https://youtube.com/@joeroozTWITCH: https://twitch.tv/joeroozX: https://x.com/joeroozFacebook: https://facebook.com/joeroozpodcastMinds: https://minds.com/joeroozGETTR: https://gettr.com/joerooz Want to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?
