When Things Go Wrong Tom Donnan pt 2If you’ve been watching the news lately, the major story has been about mandates issued by the government that people be forced to get their vaccinations. There have been threats issued by businesses and even the military, that if you do not get vaccinated, you lose your job or your career.  Who is it that is forcing this issue? It is none other than the government of the United States. You know, the one’s who are supposed to protecting the right of “free choice” and “personal freedom…”  The one’s who are concerned about individual rights, etc.  Unless, of course, it does not fit their political agenda. Despite the science that says there is only a 0.0001 % chance of dying from COVID – even without a vaccination. I wonder if big pharma, you know, the companies that have developed the vaccinations themselves, are behind the political push to make sure every person in the world is going to get a vaccination. I wonder how much money they will make from various governments per shot. Interesting to think about, isn’t it? Well, to talk about all of this and more, is our good friend, Tom Donnan!  This is part two of an amazing two part interview! Have you heard anything about something called “shielding camps?”  Kind of like a new style of concentration camp under the guise of “protecting us” from the unvaccinated. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VfrffosEtDc (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VfrffosEtDc) And these “shielding camps” are beginning to appear in the USA, correct? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VfrffosEtDc (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VfrffosEtDc) This goes to the case that we’ve made that the left, basically the Democrats and Joe Biden, are pushing their one world government agenda on this nation.  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ncin8ewj88U (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ncin8ewj88U) We can see that the left does not really care about the people of the United States. All they care about is maintaining power. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sJb15Jce7uM (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sJb15Jce7uM) They are forcing people to get vaccinated or face losing their career, their income and their businesses. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qI9kOw4K6is&pp=QAFIAQ%3D%3D (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qI9kOw4K6is&pp=QAFIAQ%3D%3D) Tom, with all of this stuff going on, I do not want to end this program without a Word of Hope. Is there hope for America in all of this?   Farmers in Oregon coming together in a large number to pray and to thank God for His provision.  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QlpRDI5beFE (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QlpRDI5beFE) Tom, there is only one hope – and His name is Jesus. Would you do the privilege of leading someone, somewhere, to the foot of the cross if, what we have talked about today, has sparked someone to seek hope? True Hope. Folks, we have only scratched the surface of things going on all around us. Tom and I could talk for hours on any one of these topics that we just covered. The point behind this discussion is not “how bad it’s gotten.” No. Our point is that these things have been called out to us in the Bible. Every single thing can be referenced in some form or fashion as foretelling, what many call, “the end times.” Amen! If you prayed that prayer with Tom, use the contact information to reach out and let him know! Amen!   CONTACT INFORMATION:For Tom Donnan Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HealingTheNationMinistries (https://www.facebook.com/HealingTheNationMinistries) Healingthenation1776@gmail.com http://www.chataboutjesus.com/ (www.chataboutjesus.com)  Books On Amazon: https://amzn.to/2ZKGzkn (Healing the Nation) https://amzn.to/35EUg8p (Spiritual House Cleaning) https://amzn.to/35H1850 (Pastor and the Presence of God) https://amzn.to/3msydb0 (7:14 Angels on Assignment) https://amzn.to/2ZGl1Ft (One Door Between Us) Support this podcast

When Things Go Wrong – Tom Donnan pt 2

When Things Go Wrong Tom Donnan pt 1If you’ve been watching the news lately, the major story has been about mandates issued by the government that people be forced to get their vaccinations. There have been threats issued by businesses and even the military, that if you do not get vaccinated, you lose your job or your career.  Who is it that is forcing this issue? It is none other than the government of the United States. You know, the one’s who are supposed to protecting the right of “free choice” and “personal freedom…”  The one’s who are concerned about individual rights, etc.  Unless, of course, it does not fit their political agenda. Despite the science that says there is only a 0.0001 % chance of dying from COVID – even without a vaccination. I wonder if big pharma, you know, the companies that have developed the vaccinations themselves, are behind the political push to make sure every person in the world is going to get a vaccination. I wonder how much money they will make from various governments per shot. Interesting to think about, isn’t it? Well, to talk about all of this and more, is our good friend, Tom Donnan!  Now, far warning, every time Tom Donnan comes on the program, we have an outline of what we will discuss – but the Holy Spirit sometimes leads us down some rabbit trails that are unplanned and, well, let’s just say “adventurous.” So fasten your seat belts because we are about to take off! Amen! Help me welcome back to the program, our good friend, Tom Donnan!   Tom, before we get into the issue of government overreach, I want to venture a little farther out. Like, “outer space.” Then work our way back to planet earth and ultimately, to the decline of the United States of America. We always discuss signs in the heavens, including stars and other such things. But you found out there might be some stars that have gone missing, right? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=X3xddkS4H80 (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=X3xddkS4H80) That covers what is happening in space. But there are things going on right here on earth that has caused some great concern. Such as the recent volcanic activity in the Canary Islands, correct?  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OilLXhW12CE (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OilLXhW12CE) Some of the volcanic activity has caused tsunami warnings as well. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XoYBAsHHXsk (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XoYBAsHHXsk) And all of this is in addition to the turmoil taking place all over the planet. Riots, protests and things like that. Basically, do you think society itself is starting to break down? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3VWQGkZ3GcU (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3VWQGkZ3GcU) It’s not just in the United States either. Australia has, basically, gone full on authoritarian government. Have you seen this?  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-yAq_8w-CI8 (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-yAq_8w-CI8) They actually have people quarantined and refuse to let them go, despite them having the vaccines! https://rumble.com/vm5ud4-absolutely-chilling-video-from-inside-australian-hotel-quarantine.html (https://rumble.com/vm5ud4-absolutely-chilling-video-from-inside-australian-hotel-quarantine.html) Have you heard anything about something called “shielding camps?”  Kind of like a new style of concentration camp under the guise of “protecting us” from the unvaccinated. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VfrffosEtDc (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VfrffosEtDc) And these “shielding camps” are beginning to appear in the USA, correct? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VfrffosEtDc (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VfrffosEtDc) This goes to the case that we’ve made that the left, basically the Democrats and Joe Biden, are pushing their one world government agenda on this nation.  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ncin8ewj88U (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ncin8ewj88U) Folks, we have only scratched the surface of...

Healing Through ServiceAaron Quinonez pt 3I grew up in the Vietnam Era. I joined the military straight out of high school just a few years after Vietnam ended. I have seen the effects of what we now call PTSD on friends and fellow soldiers that served prior to my enlistment. I know many of our war veterans back then did not know, nor did anyone else for that matter, what PTSD was or how it affected our veterans. Fast forward 25 years and we understand a lot more about PTSD and its effects. But yet, many of our war veterans still struggle with these battle scars. Some have such a hard time readjusting to civilian life, they decide to take their own life. My guest today has experienced just this sort of turmoil. Aaron Quinonez is a Marine combat veteran who joined the service straight out of high school. Serving 8 years in the Marines and a combat tour in Iraq as part of the Marine 1stANGLICO unit. In case you were wondering about the military acronym for ANGLICO it stands for “Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company” which is the only US Dept. of Defense unit capable of bringing in direct fire support for ground forces from air, sea or land and they are regularly part of special operations forces in combat. Sgt. Quinonez returned to civilian life, only to find that the real battle had just begun. Suffering from depression, anger and panic attacks, he was diagnosed with PTSD. But just being diagnosed with a problem and receiving the needed help are two entirely different things. This affected Sgt. Quinonez (or “Sgt. Q” as he is called now) decided it would be better to just take his own life that continuing in the agony he was facing on a daily basis. Today is the conclusion of a great three part interview with "Sgt Q." He has been sharing how Jesus delivered him, gave him a new life, a new calling and he is now in charge of what is called, https://www.qmissions.org/ (“Q Missions.”) This is a pathway for veterans and fellow warfighters to help them replace the battle scars of their minds with the joy of serving others through building churches, homes, feeding children and suppling precious hope to struggling communities worldwide. Sgt. Q has also authored a new book titled, https://amzn.to/3EShdnN (“Healing Thru Service: The Warriors Guide to Overcoming Trauma.”) Tell us about https://operationpopsmoke.com/ (“Operation Pop Smoke.” ) I know the phraseology for “pop smoke” but how have you used this term to communicate with veterans that need assistance? And your book, https://amzn.to/3EShdnN (“Healing Thru Service: The Warriors Guide to Overcoming Trauma.” ) Why did you decide to publish this book at this time? Who was this book written for? Sgt. Q, this is all so fascinating. And the services you are providing to help struggling veterans has also been recognized by the Veterans Administration, correct? Your book, https://amzn.to/3EShdnN (“Healing Thru Service: The Warriors Guide to Overcoming Trauma”) is a must have for every veteran and families of veterans. Where can someone order your book? Is it on Amazon? If someone has a question about your book or your organization, https://www.qmissions.org/ (“Q Missions”) or https://operationpopsmoke.com/ (“Operation Pop Smoke”) – how can they get in touch with you? Folks, veteran PTSD and veteran suicides are a very real and very serious reality in this country. Just as this condition is very individual in nature, where every person suffers in their own way, the help needs to be individualized as well. Organizations such as those founded by Sgt. Q are not only needful, but directly impacting those who need help and need help now. Your donations are needed – right now. Someone, somewhere is suffering – right now.

B.L.U.E. PRINT to Your Best Retirement Daniel BlueDaniel Blue is a regular contributor to Forbes.com and is the owner of Quest Education, a company that helps entrepreneurs obtain capital for their companies, pay off high interest debt and make money tax free using a self-directed retirement account. Under Daniel's leadership, Quest Education has reached the seven figure mark two years in a row and has customers in all fifty states. He has a podcast called “How Winners Win” and he has released a book titled, “B.L.U.E. Print to Your Best Retirement,” which is also an Amazon Best Seller. First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Daniel Blue?” Your book, “B.L.U.E. Print to Your Best Retirement,” provides information to folks so they can access their retirement accounts without being hit with those huge tax ramifications, but it doesn’t stop there, does it? I remember I had to access my account, this was way back in the day, maybe 25 years ago, and I was hit with, I believe, a 10% penalty on the amount withdrawn. I don’t remember for sure, but I believe that was the amount. But your book helps someone to avoid that tax? Can that money be used for anything? Like paying off high interest rate debts, credit cards, etc? If someone was starting a business, could they use the money in their retirement accounts to provide their portion of a “down payment” of sorts to qualify for business loans, etc? Do all retirement accounts qualify? What about using this money to purchase stocks, bonds or any other type of asset? Even BitCoin? Are we required to pay back the amount into our retirement accounts in order to keep the tax free benefits? So we can use some of the cash now and still have access to the remaining balance in our retirement years? And your book, “B.L.U.E. Print to Your Best Retirement,” goes into detail on how to do all of this. What does the B.L.U.E. stand for? Tell us about your podcast, “How Winners Win.” Do you go into these types of concepts on your podcast? You also have a teaching course on your website, “The Quest Way.” Tell us about that… Daniel, this is an interesting. I love how you are helping people, especially right now in this COVID environment. If someone wanted to get a copy of your book, how can they do that? Is it on Amazon? And if someone wanted to receive more information about your podcast or your courses, ask a question or maybe do an interview such as this. How can they do that? How can they get in touch with you? Folks, in this day and time, it is sometimes left up to us to make decisions and take actions that will protect us and our family’s future. I urge you to get in touch with Daniel Blue, check out his website, podcast and all of that – and be sure to order you copy of his latest book, “B.L.U.E. Print to Your Best Retirement.” Just go down into the show notes and order your copy today. Click the links, check out how Daniel can help you to achieve your retirement goals. You may think you’re too late to the party, but it is never too late to start now. You’ll have more by starting now, than you will be starting later. Folks, that is all the time we have for today. For Daniel Blue and myself, this is Pastor Bob reminding you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!

The Awesome Power of BlessingRichard Brunton pt 2 https://amzn.to/3l1vhDr ()Richard Brunton was a pioneer of the market research industry in New Zealand. He co-founded Colmar Brunton in 1981 and built the business into the country’s best known and most trusted research company. He started a “Better Business, Better World” campaign, which was a personal crusade of sorts, teaching others how to create profit by creating purpose, or making money by making meaning. He believes (with the research to back it up) that organizations that are driven by the big ideal of making their customers’ lives better, will create more shareholder value in the long run, than those who focus on other aims. His articles, speeches and unique perspectives have been published in various magazines and newspapers all over the world. Richard was inducted into the Marketing Hall of Fame in 2005, and became a life member of the Marketing Research Society of New Zealand in 2010. Since retiring as the Executive Chairman of Colmor Brunton in 2014, he has devoted his time to ministry work and writing. He has written a couple of books, one of which is titled, https://amzn.to/3l1vhDr (“The Awesome Power of the Blessing”) which we will be discussing today in the conclusion of our great, two part interview! What is the difference between praying a blessing over someone and interceding for them in prayer? You share we are not to “judge” when praying a blessing over someone. What do you mean by that? One thing you shared in your book is how you bless others that cut you off in traffic. I’ve been doing that for years and thought I was the only one doing it! Praise God! Tell us about the revelation you received about speaking a blessing for your own skin… You also teach us to say a blessing over our own minds. Is that because we are harboring bad thoughts or listening to the devil as he plants these thoughts in our minds? How does that work? How can we bless our communities and nations? I know I pray up the “hedges of protection around the borders of our land, etc.” But how should you go about praying the BLESSING over our land and nations? You close your book out with the idea that we should “Bless God” in our prayers as well. Explain that section for us? This is all so interesting. How can someone order a copy of your book, https://amzn.to/3l1vhDr (“The Awesome Power of the Blessing”)? Is it on Amazon? How can someone get in touch with you, if they have a question or possibly to do an interview such as this? How can they get in touch with you? Will you pray us out with the "Father's Blessing?" Folks, you definitely need to learn all you can about walking in the Blessing! Richard Brunton's book, https://amzn.to/3l1vhDr (“The Awesome Power of the Blessing”) , will do just that!

Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Richard Brunton?” You start your book with how inspiring the message of “The Blessing” was received. So, the first question is, why did you put your thoughts and teachings on the Blessing into the book, https://amzn.to/3l1vhDr (“The Awesome Power of the Blessing”) Tell us about what you discovered in the “power of the tongue” as you outline in your book… In your book, you describe how we are called to be a blessing.  We are called to be God’s “blesser’s” on this this earth. You recommend we do not just ask someone if we can pray for them. You ask, “Can I bless you?”  Explain that for us. I found that one phrase quite moving. In your book, you share that the words we use, especially in speaking to others, should be God’s Words. His words should be our words. But we can only know His Words if we are familiar with His Word – the Bible, correct? Explain how all of this relates to our Spiritual Authority in and through Christ Jesus… And this can be applied to physical objects like chairs and desks as you pray for workers who are facing certain things as well, correct?  Can you share a couple of examples like that? So, we are to bless others by declaring God’s Will, which is His Word, over a person and their life. We do this simply declaring God’s intentions over this other person? In the Bible, Jacob deceived Isaac to receive the Blessings. His brother was distraught because the blessing was supposed to be his. In this day and time, it is rare that a father will bless his children. Share the importance of this as you outlined in your book and how we can break the curse of NOT being blessed from off our life and family… Folks, you definitely need to add https://amzn.to/3l1vhDr (“The Awesome Power of the Blessing”) to your reading list! Use the link down below in the show notes to order your copy today!

The Awesome Power of the Blessing – Richard Brunton pt 1

The Journey – David FiensyThere is no doubt that the best way to learn about Christ and what it means to live a Christian life, is to learn from the Bible. But, for the majority of us, we do not have the time nor that expertise to do Biblical research on a level that allows us to truly do a “deep dive” on Biblical studies. Life just seems to get in the way. So, what should we do? Well, how about reading books written by those who have the understanding, those that have been driven to do the research and provides the information we seek explained in ways that we CAN understand? That makes a lot of sense, right? Well, that’s the way it’s supposed to be. Praise God! My guest today is just such a person. David Fiensy has been on our program before a few years back. But he has written a new book, titled, https://amzn.to/3lOyQfC (“The Journey: Spiritual Growth in Galatians and Philippians.”) I know you will get a lot out of this interview, so put on your seat belts and hold on! Welcome back to the program, David Fiensy! David, thank you for coming back on the program to discuss your new book! Praise God! For those that may have missed your last visit with us, other than that brief information I just shared, tell us in your own words, “Who is David Fiensy?” Your book, https://amzn.to/3lOyQfC (“The Journey: Spiritual Growth in Galatians and Philippians,”) is about Spiritual growth by studying just two of Paul’s letters. Why Galatians and Philippians? This is not just a verse by verse outline. You dive into the deeper things of Spirituality, correct? You say life is not about “walking the line,” so to speak, but about “hitting the road.” What do you mean by that? Through your studies in writing this book, in your opinion, how did Paul’s life, all the up’s down’s and side-ways events that happened to him, influence his walk with God? One famous verse, if I could call it that, is from Galatians  that say, “I’ve been crucified with Christ.” But we know he was not physically crucified. What was Pauling saying and trying to get us to understand with that statement? We know Paul suffered many, many things. Too many to even try to comprehend it in our modern lifestyle and culture. How did going through all of this bring meaning to his Faith? Why did you write this book at this time?

The Journey – David Fiensy

Living Hope – Gerard Long pt 2

Living Hope – Gerard Long pt 1Life is full of unexpected things. Some good. Many bad. But through it all – God is still God! Amen! Sometimes we, as humans, have a hard time remembering that. It seems like we want to take responsibility in some things and leave God out of the equation. It seems we know what is best for our life, family and business or ministry – and we TELL God what it is that needs to happen. What happens though, when the bottom falls out. Not just in business, but in life. When such tragedy happens that it makes you reexamine your Faith walk. It is often in times like this, when you are not just at the “bottom of the barrel” but “under the barrel looking up.” It is at times like that, when God can finally get it through our head and down into our heart, that HE IS STILL GOD. My guest today has had numerous events in his life that has shaped his life, business and ministry. He has written a short book that explains the “seasons of life” that he has experienced. Gerard Long calls himself a “professor of life and death.” He is an author, a business leader, pastor, founder of “Awakening to God Ministries” and the former director of Alpha USA. He is now experiencing a blessed life, but it hasn’t always been that way. The darkest valley of suffering he experienced happened all in a period of eight years. His youngest son committed suicide; this almost caused the break-up of his marriage; then the unbelievable death of his beautiful daughter. As if this wasn’t enough pain, in the same eight-year period, his sister and brother also died, as did a nephew! As he was trying to rise from the ashes of those horrible things, he faced financial ruin at the hand of a “friend.” Then, he suffered a heart attack and was dead for almost 30 minutes! By a miraculous move of God, he was brought back to life and then faced an exorbitant amount of medical bills, only to face additional bills when his wife was diagnosed with bladder cancer! Gerard has documented much of his journey from this deep despair to triumph in Christ, in his book, titled, https://amzn.to/3z6FoL8 (“Living Hope: Awakening to Faith, Peace and Purpose in Tough Times.”) The first question I always ask is this… Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Gerard Long?” Gerard, I want our audience to get an understanding of the kind of pressure you were under. Prior to your heart attack, the pressures of losing both, your son and you daughter, to me that seems almost unbearable. Can you talk a little bit about this time in your life, as I believe, from what I’ve read, this was the mounting pressure that may have triggered your cardiac arrest. Can you go over that time for us, briefly? In your book, you describe the night your wife experienced the presence of the Lord. I can relate to that 100%. I had made the decision to take my life and the Lord’s presence just absolutely enveloped me in the room I was in. I was there, singing, laughing and all of that. What she described as the sparkling, etc. – yeah…when I read that, I was like “AMEN!” CONTACT INFORMATIONhttps://amzn.to/3z6FoL8 ()   Email: long@awakeningtogod.org Website: http://www.livinghopebook.com/ (http://www.livinghopebook.com/) Book: https://amzn.to/3z6FoL8 (“Living Hope: Awakening to Faith, Peace, and Purpose in Tough Times”) – on Amazon   Support this podcast

Living Hope – Gerard Long pt 1

Positively JoyYvette WalkerFor many Christians, witnessing the events that have transpired in the last 18 months or so have many wondering “Where is God in all of this?” But, if you are honest with yourself, God is apparent through all of it. The COVID shutdowns, the economic problems, the issues overseas, everything! God is right there! Now, I’m not saying He is causing all of these issues, but if you are honest with yourself, you KNOW God is with you, otherwise, you would not have survived to this point! Amen! But too many Christians are “sleep-walking” through life. They are just existing, day to day. They have no joy. Almost no hope. Why is that? Well, my guest today is going to tell you about how you can experience, “Positively Joy.” Yvette Walker is a Christian journalist, educator and podcaster (Praise God)! She found herself, as she says, “sleep-walking through life.” After hearing the call of God, she started a podcast called, “Positively Joy” as a ministry effort to discuss the struggles people face to walk in joy! On the podcast, on her blog and in her Facebook community, the Bible is studied and discussed and she helps people to find joy in the details of life. Her ministry serves Christian women through weekly, award winning podcast episodes; through uplifting weekly blog posts and through inspiring social media posts. Help me welcome to the program, Yvette Walker! Yvette, thank you for joining us today! First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Yvette Walker?” Can you explain what it is you mean by “sleep-walking” in your faith? You state that “joy is not a feeling – it’s faith.” Share with us how you came to understand that concept? How can joy bring us into a deeper relationship with God? Shouldn’t we have that relationship AND THEN experience joy? You have interviewed a lot of Christians on your podcast. Do you also do teachings or interviews only? You say you help people to find God in the commonplaces of life. Can you explain that for us? You have a booklet that explains the “5 Ways to Choose Joy.” Can you briefly share those 5 ways for us? You attended the National Religious Broadcasters Conference in Texas a few months back. You met someone special there that most Christians know through a special television series. Would you share that with us? You have also won an award from the “Spark Christian Conference.” Tell us about that? Yvette, you are doing an awesome work for the Lord. Through your podcast, blog and social media, you really do not know how many people you are actually impacting with the Gospel. And you probably will never know until you get to Heaven. I want to encourage you to keep up the great work you are doing! If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question, to be a guest on your podcast or may have you as a guest on their podcast, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you? And you have that free download that we discussed, the booklet “5 Ways to Choose Joy.” How can someone get a copy of that? Folks, it is such joy for me to be able to interview great Christians who understand the power of the podcast concept, and Yvette Walker is one that you need to follow. Use the links down below to get in touch with her, subscribe to her podcast and be sure to download that free booklet “5 Ways to Choose Joy.” I guarantee, you will be impressed by the quality of the podcast and the quality of the guests and the quality of the content. Amen!

Positively Joy – Yvette Walker

The Hunt for Good NeighborJason Leehttps://amzn.to/3n7CzXM ()https://amzn.to/3yzO7Fu (“The Hunt for Good Neighbor,”) which was inspired by novels by C.S. Lewis. Jason uses allegories to tell the story of spiritual journeys to encourage the readers to persevere through adversity. The https://amzn.to/3yzO7Fu (“Hunt for Good Neighbor”) follows Annette, a young girl born into a mob family. On her 18th birthday, she must complete a rite of passage to enter into their ranks. She must reach deep and grapple with her own identity, failures and, inevitably who she wants to become. Annette must decide between her past and her future, all the while facing the challenges of living off the land and the exploration of the wild country. https://amzn.to/3yzO7Fu (“Hunt for Good Neighbor”) is a timeless novel that speaks to young adults setting out on their own life journeys for the first time and anyone who connects with elements of faith and struggle. I don’t know about you, but I’m hooked already! Amen! Jason is an accountant by day, but a writer by choice! He is also into mountain climbing, rock climbing and – of course – writing! Amen! First question I always ask is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Jason Lee?” How did you get started in writing Christian fiction? And why did you choose this story line, one of a mobster’s daughter coming of age, for this book at this time? You dive into three major elements in this book. Would share those three elements with us? How do these three things affect our Faith? So, tell us a little of the plot line. I always thought that mobster’s daughters had to make a choice to go into the business or not. How did “Annette” decide, or end up, having to join the family business? What kind of situations does she face during the test? What does she discover about herself in the process? How can that apply to the readers or our listeners? Do we have our own “testing” that occurs as we discover God’s purpose for our own lives? What common temptations does the average person face as compared to those faced by Annette in your book? Do you have any other books in the process of being written? Jason, this sounds like a fascinating read. I believe our listeners will really enjoy this book. How can they obtain a copy? Is it on Amazon? If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or maybe do an interview such as this. How can they do that? How can they get in touch with you? Folks, everyone likes a good read. Just to break free from reality and life happening around us. Television is the thing most people use to take a mental break. But you have to actually become numb to what you see happening on TV. Then, there are the thought interrupters called “commercials” that happen. These things do not happen in a book. As most of you know, I’m an avid reader. I read anywhere between 18-24 books per year. And Jason Lee’s book is one that I highly recommend. You need to get a copy for yourself, right now – today! Amen! In fact, whether you want to think about this or not – Christmas is coming soon! I would recommend you purchase three or four copies of this book and give someone you love a great Christmas present this year! Something that will be different from the sweaters and gift cards that seem to be the thing nowadays. A book is something they will treasure. Especially a great book like https://amzn.to/3yzO7Fu (“Hunt for Good Neighbor”) by Jason Lee. Go down into the show notes and order your copy – COPIES – today! Amen! And while you are in the show notes, reach out to Jason. Ask your questions. Send him some feedback on the book, too! Amen!

Feeling Loved – Marnie Swedberg pt 2

Feeling Loved Marnie Swedberg pt 1Do you feel loved by God every moment of every day? Do you feel like God hears your prayers, cares about your concerns and comes to your rescue? Well, my guest today is going to explain how all of that – and more – is possible with the limited time that you do have in the hectic schedules that this day and time we call “life.” Marnie Swedberg is the author of 13 books, a leadership mentor to over 15,000 leaders from 35 countries, providing a “God centric focus” with practical help and coaching. She is also the host of the #1 ranked and featured Blog Talk Radio program, https://www.blogtalkradio.com/marniesfriends (“Marnie’s Friends Talk Radio: Perspective Transformation.”) She is also the founder and director of “Bible Study Expo” and “Woman Speaker.com” (the largest online directory of its kind in the world). Today, I will be discussing her book, https://amzn.to/3m5K6pw (“Feeling Loved: Connecting with God in the Minutes You Have.”) First question, other than that brief information I just shared, tell us in your own words, “Who is Marnie Swedberg?” How did you get started in the coaching and consulting business? Were you an author that transitioned into consulting, or a consultant that became an author to help in your business? You’ve written 13 books, which I find astounding. And today, we want to talk about your book, https://amzn.to/3m5K6pw (“Feeling Loved: Connecting with God in the Minutes You Have.”) We all have hectic schedules. I know that putting God first place is absolutely essential. I’ve become accustomed to waking between 430am and 5am to spend that quality alone time in the Word and in prayer before anyone else wakes up. I call it my “appointment time” with the Lord. In your book, you share how to have a meaningful relationship with God in the minutes we have. Can you explain that concept a little bit for us? Ten Ways to Pray Everyday – All Day! 5 Keys to friendship with God. What are those five keys? I love the chapter, “How to be humble and not brag about it.” A lot of people should take that to heart! Explain that for us. Folks, not only do you need to order a copy of Marnie’s book, https://amzn.to/3m5K6pw (“Feeling Loved: Connecting with God in the Minutes You Have.”) – but you also need to go to her website and check out all of the outstanding services and resources she has there.
