In tonight’s impromptu live show from the Asylum, I shared a candid behind‑the‑scenes look at what happens when a scheduled guest is a no‑show—and how we keep the conversation rolling with help from the bullpen. Maverick County judge candidate and friend of the show, Ruben Camarillo, jumped in last‑minute to talk about burnout, resiliency, and the difference between reacting and responding under pressure.We dug into practical ways to decompress when life stacks up—family time, tactical pauses, and hunting the good stuff—plus how work dynamics, community responsibilities, and even local tax debates can compound stress. I also teased a darker, recorded spinoff project we’re building with fresh graphics and format, while reaffirming this live show remains my baby.We wrapped with community notes on a Cub Scout Pack 8562 plate sale, a quick word on keeping politics focused on issues over personal attacks, and reminders on how you can support the show through our value‑for‑value model.  Imperfect night, real conversation—thanks for rolling with us when the bullpen phone rang. Catch our Palm Sunday deep‑dive Bible study (Episode 287) on Rumble, and join us for our regular weekly schedule, including Sunday studies at 2 PM CT.

In this Palm Sunday edition of the show, I walk through Matthew 21 and the Triumphal Entry to explore why the same crowds who cried “Hosanna” later shouted “Crucify him,” and what that contrast reveals about redemption, freedom, and the personal choice every one of us must make about Jesus Christ.We trace the biblical symbolism of the unbroken colt, the need for redemption through the Lamb, and the “door” at the fork in the road—unpacking passages from Job, Exodus, Deuteronomy, Isaiah, Romans, Mark, John, and 2 Timothy to show how Scripture interprets Scripture and points to Christ’s kingship and mercy. From the round-pen picture of gentle submission to the garments of salvation, I encourage you to let Jesus take charge, choose the path of life, and prepare for next week’s Resurrection Day study before we resume our Revelation series. If you’re at a crossroads today, choose the Door—choose Jesus Christ.

Tonight I sat down with Brian Brady—former police officer turned corporate security executive and now crime fiction author—to separate TV mythology from real-world investigations. We got into what Hollywood condenses or gets flat-out wrong, why integrity and smart customer service still define great policing, and how DNA and forensics really work on a realistic timeline.Brian walked through his journey from Berkeley PD to East LA, New Mexico, and the chief’s chair in Northern California, then into the high-stakes world of NBCUniversal security, where movie sets, global productions, and a major theme park reshape how you think about risk and response.We then dug into his newest novel, Still Waters Run Deep, which shifts from San Francisco streets to the rural American West, following two Wyoming detectives as they collide with a violent militia network. Brian explained his research into militia movements, how he balances factual events with fiction, and why he avoids gratuitous gore while keeping investigations authentic.We closed on advice for aspiring officers, the importance of treating the public like valued clients, and why most people—beneath the noise—are better than we think.Find Brian and his books at GoldenGateTales.com and major retailers.Guest: Brian Bradyhttp://www.goldengatetales.com/ Watch and Followhttps://Rumble.com/JoeRoozhttps://YouTube.com/@JoeRoozFOLLOW US ON:X: https://x.com/joeroozFacebook: https://facebook.com/joeroozshowMinds: https://minds.com/joeroozGETTR: https://gettr.com/joeroozSpecial thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Marisa LeeExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?

Tonight I sit down with author Sidney Pines to dig into how 2020 changed America—and why she started documenting everything she was seeing and feeling. We talk about her law-enforcement-informed perspective, the media environment, election controversies, and how a private family journal evolved into her Patriot’s Diary series.Sidney shares the heart behind her writing: helping families understand each other across today’s deep political divides and preserving a record for her future grandkids. We also touch on censorship, TDS, faith, and what it means to stay grounded while sifting through claims, “conspiracy theories,” and hard truths. Sidney’s first book, Awakening: A Patriot’s Diary of American Deception, tracks her early observations and research from 2019–2021, while book two, Golden Age Rising, explores today’s climate, from media narratives to cultural flashpoints and why she’s continuing the series into a third installment.

Tonight I sat down with Tom Lee, a Texas sheriff’s sergeant and former mental health unit lead with over 23 years on the job. Tom shared how cumulative trauma—not just one critical incident—nearly broke him, even after surviving being shot in the face with a crossbow during a 2019 welfare check.We talked through the realities of policing in rural Texas with thin backup, the split-second decisions that come with life-or-death calls, and why the real weight of the job often comes from bureaucracy and moral injury as much as it does from scenes themselves. Tom opened up about recovery, faith, and the importance of actually asking for help before alcohol and isolation take over. He also detailed his work in mental health diversion, critical incident stress management, and why follow-up care with both citizens and first responders can change outcomes.We also previewed his forthcoming memoir, Scars of the Badge, which captures 50 snapshots from his career—from child deaths and mass-casualty responses to the crossbow shooting—and how faith steadied him through the darkest stretches. If you’re a first responder, know one, or just want an honest look at the cost of the badge, this conversation is for you.

In tonight’s live show from the Asylum, I kick off the week with author and entrepreneur S.R. Fabrico to unpack what really happens after you hit publish on a book.We talk candidly about the realities of authorship: why so many people get stuck before they start, how to push through fear and feedback, and the uncomfortable truth about book sales and marketing. Stacy shares her journey from high school math teacher and world‑level dance coach to novelist, how a personal gift for her husband became her debut, and why treating writing like a business matters.We cover practical marketing rhythms, managing expectations, building a backlist, and why persistence beats perfection. We also dive into her Southport series—character‑driven romantic suspense set in a North Carolina beach town—and her nonfiction project chronicling the history of All Star cheer. She closes with what’s next, including a meaningful fiction‑based‑on‑truth project about life after an MS diagnosis.Housekeeping highlights: ways to connect with the show, our weekly live schedule, and where to find Stacy and her books.If you’ve ever said “I want to write a book,” this episode is a nudge to start—and a roadmap to keep going after you do. Guest: S.R.

In this Bible Study Sunday, I walk through Revelation chapter 5 and the breathtaking throne-room scene where a sealed book appears and no one is found worthy to open it—until the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Lamb who was slain, steps forward.We explore possible identities of the book, why only Jesus can open it, and how true understanding of Scripture is given by the Lord. I trace cross-references in Luke 24 and Acts 16, highlight the seven Spirits of God, and reflect on the Lamb bearing the marks of sacrifice. We also look at the prayers of the saints as fragrant offerings stored in heavenly vials and what it means that Christ has made us kings and priests who will reign on earth. The chapter crescendos with heaven and earth joining to declare, “Worthy is the Lamb,” reminding us that our prayers are never wasted and that believing God’s Word opens up living truth. Key takeaways: Only Jesus is worthy to open the book and our understanding; prayer is a real sacrifice that God collects; songs worth singing say something—anchored in the blood of Christ; and one day every creature will confess, “Worthy is the Lamb.”Resources and mentions: Previous episode with Fire Captain Mark Andrew on leadership; cross-references: Isaiah 11:1–3 (seven Spirits of God), Luke 24:44–45 (Christ opening understanding), Acts 16:14 (the Lord opening Lydia’s heart), Psalm 74:5–7 (insight from Scripture), Revelation 5 (full chapter study).

Tonight I sat down with Fire Captain Mark Andrew, author of Leading Through the Heat, for a straight-talking conversation about real leadership when it truly counts.We dug into how preparation and training before a crisis enable quick, decisive action under pressure, why trust is built long before the sirens blare, and how great leaders shield their teams, own mistakes, and hold high standards without ego. Mark shared down-to-earth stories from the fireground—venting roofs, scarce water, split-second calls—and translated those lessons into practical takeaways for any workplace: be present, listen hard, train together, and be decisive. We also explored where leadership fails—micromanaging, indecision, passing blame—and how to fix it by leading from the front and caring enough to have tough, private conversations that help people refocus.If you lead a team (or want to), this episode is packed with actionable insights you can use tomorrow. Check out Mark’s book, connect with him on social, and share this with someone who could use a boost in their leadership game.Guest: Mark AndrewAmazon: https://a.co/d/0ebPgAQz Barnes & Noble: Leading Through the Heat by Mark Andrew, Paperback | Barnes & Noble® IG: @markdbnfireX: @theconversat Watch and Follow https://Rumble.com/JoeRooz https://YouTube.com/@JoeRooz Watch and Followhttps://Rumble.com/JoeRoozhttps://YouTube.com/@JoeRoozFOLLOW US ON:X: https://x.com/joeroozFacebook: https://facebook.com/joeroozshowMinds: https://minds.com/joeroozGETTR: https://gettr.com/joeroozSpecial thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive

Broadcasting live from the Asylum, I kicked off the show with a quick update: our first-hour guest was a no-show, so longtime friend of the show Wayne “Mister W” Rankin jumped in early for a wide-ranging, unfiltered conversation. We covered Wayne’s life on his Washington State mountain homestead—yes, including his very real chicken-plucking rig, year‑round egg production, bartering for elk, DIY know-how, and survivalist humor—and then dug into heavier topics: ballooning taxes and fees in Washington, pension and legal frustrations post–postal service, the blue-state exodus, and the personal calculus many families face to beat punitive tax brackets.From there, we pivoted to national and geopolitical currents, weighing mixed feelings about U.S. strategy on Iran, the cost of undeclared forever-wars, and the importance of clearly stated objectives—while keeping the main thing the main thing: faith, encouragement, and prayer for our leaders and troops.We wrapped with Wayne’s trademark grit and wisdom: leave well enough alone and don’t manufacture your own problems—and keep your sense of humor intact while you prep the farm for spring.Guest: Wayne RankinHousekeeping:Catch our live shows weeknights at 7 PM CT (8 PM ET) and Bible Study Sundays at 2 PM CT—we’re in Revelation 5 this week.Visit joerooz.com to send questions, guest/topic ideas, or email info@joerooz.com.Join us on Rumble at rumble.com/joerooz and don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share.Value-for-value supporters can find ways to help at joerooz.com/support.Tomorrow night: Caramel Lucas joins us on a special Thursday show.

In this episode, I sit down with Noah May—journalism graduate, multi-show creator, and host of Lethal Venom—to dive into the messy, honest realities of mental health, storytelling, and building a voice when the world would rather you keep quiet. Noah opens up about battling depression and anxiety since age 13, the turning point that led to his diagnosis, and how music, therapy, and an unwavering mother’s support helped him push through his darkest seasons.We talk candidly about stigma—especially for men—why silence can be dangerous, and how his podcast became a place where blunt truth beats performative “awareness.” We also get into the grind behind podcasting: editing, booking, rankings, and the real work it takes to deliver meaningful conversations—plus a few laughs about leaderboard rivalries and the day a blue cat guested on a show.If you’ve ever felt unseen or stuck, this conversation will remind you that you’re not alone—and you’re not stuck.

Tonight I sat down with Deacon Dr. Kevin Cummings, a retired dentist turned Catholic deacon whose second act is anything but quiet. After four decades in dentistry and ordination in 2011, Kevin helped found Deacons of Hope and Saint Mary’s Home for Mothers—an 18‑bed residence in Missouri serving homeless pregnant women. We talked candidly about turning convictions into concrete action, why so many people want to help but don’t know how, and how faith, fatherhood, and service intersect when you decide to do the hard work in front of you. Kevin shared the origin story of the homes, the crucial role of volunteers and “angels” on a 24/7 hotline, and why creating real alternatives changes lives—45 babies born at Saint Mary’s last year alone.We also dug into marriage and fatherhood, the dignity of life, and what it means to protect and provide in a culture that often sidelines men. Kevin spoke powerfully about redemption, practical mercy, and building community across denominational lines—because real help doesn’t check your church label at the door.

In today’s Sunday Bible Study, I walk you through Revelation chapter 4, wrapping up our multi-week dive into this pivotal section of Scripture.We revisit last week’s intensive focus on Revelation 4:1 and then explore what John saw when he was caught up: the throne of God, the jasper, sardine, and emerald imagery, the rainbow encircling the throne, and the sea of glass like unto crystal.We connect these visuals across Scripture—Genesis 1, Job 26–38, Psalms, Isaiah 6 & 11—to illuminate biblical cosmology, the “waters above,” the seven Spirits of God, and the identity and significance of the 24 elders, their white raiment, and their crowns. We also consider the four living creatures, heavenly worship, and what all this reveals about God’s holiness, eternity, and our purpose: that all things were created for His pleasure.The takeaway is both doctrinal and devotional—amid the chaos of our age, there is a throne in heaven, and God reigns. I also encourage listeners to review earlier parts of our Revelation series (intro, the glorified Christ, the seven churches, and last week’s deep dive into 4:1) to follow the flow.As we look toward Revelation 5 next week, keep your eyes upward, stay grounded in the word, and remember: our worship, hope, and endurance are anchored in the One who sits on the throne.

In tonight’s episode, I sit down with songwriter and music catalog creator Jonathan Steele—an Air Force veteran who’s written more than 100 compositions and released over 90 tracks across rock, pop, country, inspirational, and Christian genres. We dig into the craft behind building a long-term songwriting catalog: how ideas spark, when lyrics lead versus when rhythm drives, working with professional demo companies, and why he’s chosen to focus on publishing and ownership over touring.Jonathan shares candidly about perseverance through health challenges, the discipline he carried from the military into music, and how his Christian faith fuels both his life and his art. We also talk drummers, classic rock influences, and the practical steps indie creators can take to protect and release their work without getting lost in the industry noise.Jonathan highlights standout songs like In a Soldier’s Stance, Crossing Paths, Lost in the Rain, Hope, and Good Life Elsewhere, plus some of his comedic tracks—and he opens up about his goal to pursue publishing deals, placements, and eventually live performance.If you’re building something real—song catalog, business, or brand—this conversation is a masterclass in consistency, ownership, and sticking with it until the world catches up.

Tonight I’m joined by Dr. Trevor Harrison, a retired sociology professor and leading researcher on populism, nationalism, and political movements.We dig into why trust in institutions is eroding across the Western world, what “the people” and “the elites” really mean, how immigration and identity get pulled into populist narratives, and why party incentives and career politicians amplify polarization.We compare U.S. and Canadian dynamics, talk third-party hurdles, oligarchy concerns, and what history teaches about states under stress—plus where decentralization and regional identity may be heading. We also touch on Trevor’s forthcoming travel memoir, Safarname, tracing the 1970s “hippie trail,” and his recent poetry exploring war, culture, and our turbulent times. If you’re looking to understand the roots of political frustration—beyond the headlines—this conversation offers context, caution, and a few surprising laughs along the way.Guest: Dr. Trevor W.

Tonight, I sat down with Eric Fisher—trauma therapist, addiction recovery counselor, black belt martial artist, and author of Buried Alive: Four Ways to Free Yourself from the Dirt. We dug into what it means to feel “buried alive” by trauma, addiction, regret, and overwhelm, and how recovery isn’t magic—it’s a disciplined practice much like martial arts. Eric explained EMDR and ART in clear, accessible terms, shared why resilience and community are essential, and offered first steps for anyone feeling stuck, including practical stabilization strategies and where to find immediate support.We also talked about his father’s near-fatal trench collapse that inspired his book, how faith complements therapy, and why curiosity, introspection, and agency (his CIA framework) can move us from paralyzed to proactive.I also shared show updates, gave a birthday shout-out to Producer “Anonymous Angela,” and reminded listeners how to connect, send guest/topic ideas, and catch our live schedules—including our Saturday crypto segment and Sunday Bible study series.If you or someone you love is battling addiction or trauma, this episode is a grounded, hope-filled guide to taking that crucial first step out of the hole.Guest: Eric Fisher, MS, CCC, CTwww.recoveryartscounselling.com Watch and Followhttps://Rumble.com/JoeRoozhttps://YouTube.com/@JoeRooz Watch and Followhttps://Rumble.com/JoeRoozhttps://YouTube.com/@JoeRoozFOLLOW US ON:X: https://x.com/joeroozFacebook: https://facebook.com/joeroozshowMinds: https://minds.com/joeroozGETTR: https://gettr.com/joeroozSpecial thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Marisa LeeExecutive Producer Angela Wetuski

Today on the Sunday Bible Study edition of The Joe Rooz Show, we step into one of the most important turning points in the entire Book of Revelation — Revelation Chapter 4.After delivering messages to the seven churches, John suddenly sees a door opened in heaven and hears a voice like a trumpet saying, “Come up hither.” Many Bible scholars view this moment as a powerful picture of the Rapture of the Church — the event that removes believers from the earth before the seven-year Tribulation begins.In this episode, we explore how Revelation 4 launches the prophetic timeline that carries us through the Tribulation, the rise of the Antichrist, Armageddon, and ultimately the return of Jesus Christ.We’ll connect Revelation 4 with key passages like 1 Thessalonians 4 and 1 Corinthians 15, examine what the Bible says about the resurrection body believers will receive, and unpack why the rapture must occur before God’s wrath is poured out on the world.This is the launching pad for the rest of the Book of Revelation, and understanding it helps unlock the prophetic structure of Scripture.

In this episode, I sit down with author, podcast host, and foster/adoptive mom Kim Patton for a candid conversation about infertility, open adoption, and the realities of foster care.Kim shares how years of waiting and hard conversations in marriage reshaped her faith and family, the beauty and challenges of open adoption, and what it’s like to foster teen girls working through profound trauma. We talk about struggling well, setting boundaries with compassion, and trusting God’s timing when life doesn’t go according to plan.Kim also gives a peek into her memoir, “Nothing Wasted,” why she chose a reflective, memoir approach over self-help, and how her Book Therapy podcast encourages foster and adoptive families one book at a time. If you’ve faced a detour in building a family—or you’re considering foster care or adoption—this episode offers honest insight, hope, and a reminder that God can redeem even our hardest seasons. Guest: Kim Pattonhttps://kimpatton.com/ Follow and Watchhttps://Rumble.com/JoeRoozhttps://YouTube.com/@JoeRooz  Watch and Followhttps://Rumble.com/JoeRoozhttps://YouTube.com/@JoeRoozFOLLOW US ON:X: https://x.com/joeroozFacebook: https://facebook.com/joeroozshowMinds: https://minds.com/joeroozGETTR: https://gettr.com/joeroozSpecial thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Marisa LeeExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?

Tonight I sat down with Dr. Mark Defant, a geologist and geochemist whose work on volcanoes and continental crust formation led him into a broader public conversation about science, ideology, gender, and how culture can distort evidence.We covered his fieldwork from Kamchatka to Central America, why adakites matter to understanding early continental crust, and the pitfalls of centrally planned systems he witnessed in the late Soviet Union. From there, we dug into evolutionary psychology: sexual selection, why men and women tend to want different things in mates, how “patriarchy” can be understood through evolutionary pressures, the pay gap as a story of preferences and trade-offs, and why slogans like “health at any size” conflict with medical evidence. We also talked about the state of academia, DEI policy swings, free speech, and why open inquiry matters more than ever.I closed with a reminder that science isn’t about pleasing narratives—it’s about testing ideas against data, even when conclusions are uncomfortable. Stay curious, examine claims, and don’t be afraid to ask hard questions; that’s how knowledge moves forward. If you enjoyed this one, share it, leave a comment, and let us know what you want us to cover next.Resources mentioned: Dr. Defant’s site (markdefant.com), his recent Skeptic magazine piece on interstellar objects, his book “Voyage of Discovery,” evolutionary psychology literature on sexual and natural selection, and classic Twilight Zone episodes referenced (“The Obsolete Man”).

Tonight we sit down with Randi-Lee Bowslaugh — Canadian National Champion kickboxer, Pan-American Games silver medalist, cancer survivor, author, and outspoken mental health advocate.From living with depression since the age of 14 to receiving an adult diagnosis of Autism and CPTSD in her 30s, Randi-Lee’s journey is one of grit, clarity, and refusing to quit. She worked more than six years in frontline social services after graduating top of her class in Community and Justice Services, gaining firsthand insight into addiction, recovery, and marginalized communities.We discuss her book Good-Bye Too Soon, written after losing her brother to overdose, and the difficult balance of loving someone while protecting yourself. We also explore how combat sports forged her mental toughness, how cancer reshaped her perspective, and what resilience actually looks like when you don’t feel strong. Honest, intense, and unexpectedly funny, this conversation is about grit, compassion, and choosing discipline when motivation is gone. Resources mentioned: Randy’s website (rbwriting.ca), The Write or Die Show on YouTube and podcast platforms, and her book Goodbye Too Soon: A Family’s Loss by Drug Overdose (expanded edition) on Amazon.

In today’s Bible Study Sunday, I walk us through Revelation chapters 2 and 3 with a clear roadmap for avoiding the theological knots these chapters can create. We revisit the threefold lens for every passage—historical, inspirational, doctrinal—and show how the seven letters were written to real churches in Asia Minor, offer timeless commendations and warnings for us today, and doctrinally point forward to the Tribulation rather than the Church Age.We unpack why “overcoming” in these letters cannot be laid on Church Age saints without creating contradictions with Pauline doctrine, explore church history parallels from Ephesus to Laodicea, and trace the long arc of Babylonian religion from Nimrod to Pergamos to Rome, tying in Jezebel’s influence, the Nicolaitans, and the dangers of ecumenical, doctrine-light religion. Along the way, we emphasize right division, dispensations, and why context dissolves confusion—highlighting what God commends (discernment, endurance, keeping His word) and condemns (leaving first love, false doctrine, lukewarmness). I close by previewing Revelation 4, where the scene shifts to heaven and the study accelerates. If you missed last week’s introduction to Revelation 1 and our earlier dispensations series, circle back—those foundations will make today’s material click. Watch and Follow on:https://Rumble.com/JoeRoozhttps://YouTube.com/@JoeRooz  Watch and Followhttps://Rumble.com/JoeRoozhttps://YouTube.com/@JoeRoozFOLLOW US ON:X: https://x.com/joeroozFacebook: https://facebook.com/joeroozshowMinds: https://minds.com/joeroozGETTR: https://gettr.com/joeroozSpecial thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Marisa LeeExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?
