Tonight I’m joined by Finnish-Canadian author, certified book coach, and podcaster A. L. Jensen (aka Liisa Kovola) to explore how reinvention, discipline, and a dash of Nordic comfort can transform both a writing life and a mystery series.  We dig into her pivot from teaching to full-time creativity, why she split her work between pen names, and how book coaching accelerates craft, confidence, and completion. A. L. shares the inspiration behind her Nordic cozy Hygge House series—where small-town charm meets culture, community, and just the right amount of murder—and how midlife changes fueled her storytelling. We also unpack the power of accountability, the realities of finishing a book, and why readers are craving warmth and connection alongside their whodunits. You’ll hear practical insights on plotting vs. pantsing, the value of mentorship, and the tough-love truths new writers need. A. L. also talks about becoming Canada’s first Asahi Nordic instructor, embracing multiple creative identities, and how podcasting helps introverted storytellers find their public voice. If you’ve got a book inside you—or a new chapter of life to write—this conversation is your nudge to start before you feel perfectly ready. Guest: A.L.

In this Wednesday's with Wayne edition, I’m joined by our resident Practical Prepper, Wayne Rankin, for a lively, wide-ranging conversation on self-reliance, community, and faith. We kick off with updates from Eagle Pass and Wayne’s whirlwind week: a near-disaster averted with a flooded cellar and gas water heater, how smart improvisation (hello, gym showers) fits into practical preparedness, and why a few key home fixes and tutorials can save you big down the line. Wayne shares the power of church community—teams of men rallying to split and stack 16 cords of firewood, the joy of feeding helpers Texas-style brisket and pulled pork, and giving first fruits to a single mom and youth fundraiser. We dig into homestead systems (propane stoves, generators, future wind turbine, beehives, garden, and flock), medical self-care with simple herbal and pantry remedies, and how to approach bartering—from cakes for car repairs to salmon for small engine help. We also reflect on stewardship, personal responsibility before God, and honest concerns about policy, AI, and the cost of living, all through a grounded, hopeful lens of family, fellowship, and doing the next right thing. Plus, I recap our recent Sunday Bible study on Revelation 12 and preview Wayne’s next adventure, filming along the Cowlitz River beneath Mount St. Helens. If you’re building resilience and community—without the doom—this episode is for you.

In this Sunday Bible Study, I walk us through Revelation chapter 12, building on last week’s look at the two witnesses and the rise of global rebellion. We identify the key figures—the woman (Israel), the great red dragon (Satan), Michael the archangel, and the man child—and trace how this chapter unveils the spiritual war behind human history and Israel’s prophetic role.We compare scripture with scripture (Genesis 37; Matthew 16, 24–25; Daniel; Zechariah) to clarify symbols, discuss Satan’s casting down and intensified persecution, Israel’s flight into the wilderness for 1,260 days, and the judgment of the nations based on how they treat Israel. I highlight how believers overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony, and why Satan’s time is short, reminding us that God remains in control even as deception increases.I also answer common interpretations (e.g., whether the woman is Mary or the Church), note possible double applications of the “man child,” and consider what “two wings of a great eagle” might mean—all with the aim of encouraging you to study with an open Bible and confidence in Christ’s victory.

In this Memorial Day week episode, I open up about why this holiday is one of my most meaningful, honoring the men and women who paid the ultimate price to secure our freedoms and the everyday heroes who keep our communities safe. I reflect on family stories, the purpose behind the day, and what it means for us as Americans to celebrate with gratitude and remembrance. Then I welcome back our “Wednesday with Wayne” guest, Wayne Rankin—aka Dr. Prepper—for a practical, no-nonsense deep dive on preparedness. Wayne shares hands-on tips for short-term outages and storms: simple water strategies (bathtub fills, water heater access, safe flushing), low-cost pantry essentials (proteins, beans, rice, canned fruit), and easy starter gardening ideas to stretch budgets and build resilience. We also touch on rising costs, supply chain pressures, and why learning trades and home skills can steady families in uncertain times. It’s a grounded, encouraging conversation about honoring sacrifice while taking practical steps to care for our homes and neighbors.

In today’s Bible Study, we continue our verse-by-verse journey through Revelation 11. Picking up from last week’s discussion on the two witnesses (identified as Moses and Elijah), we explore their martyrdom, the world’s shocking celebration over their deaths, and the fear that grips humanity when God raises them and calls, “Come up hither.” We unpack the spiritual versus doctrinal applications of Scripture, why Jerusalem is spiritually called “Sodom and Egypt,” the seventh trumpet “headline” of the last half of the Tribulation, and the promise that the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdoms of our Lord. We also trace the intensifying sequence of earthquakes as creation “travails,” preview judgments to come (including the Great White Throne), and contrast Church Age grace through faith with works-centered dispensations in the Tribulation and Millennium.Through it all, the big takeaway remains: human hostility to truth is growing, but Christ’s eternal reign is certain—and now is the day of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Scripture highlights include Revelation 11:7–19; cross-references to Revelation 4, 9, 12–14, 20; Daniel 7:18; Romans 8; Matthew 4; Acts 2, 4, 7; and Luke 19. I encourage you to read along, bring your questions, and share the gospel with boldness this week.

 In this episode of the Joe Rooz Show, we welcome back our resident “Doctor Prepper” Wayne Rankin—and for the first time, his wife Rosanna—live from the Asylum for another Wednesday's with Wayne. We dive into practical preparedness you can start today: water storage for small spaces, why a flashlight tops the list, creative uses for blue tarps and contractor bags, and smart food staples like rice, beans, pasta, and even Top Ramen.  Rosanna brings a wealth of homestead know‑how, sharing hands-on tips for reliable winter egg production, bread troubleshooting (store your yeast in the freezer!), and beginner-friendly beekeeping insights—from queen introductions to how pollinators supercharge your fruit trees.  We also touch on sustainable living through gardening, hunting, and fishing, plus simple, budget-friendly ways to build a 72-hour kit and pantry without panic buying. Preppared, not paranoid—all with humor, heart, and actionable advice you can use right away.  Resources mentioned and takeaways include: start with the basics (water, light, heat), use a small propane grill for cooking during outages, keep matches dry in pill bottles, make fire starters with cotton balls and petroleum jelly, rotate egg-laying hens with light and nutrition, and remember that community—human and honeybee—makes resilience possible.  Watch and Followhttps://Rumble.com/JoeRoozhttps://YouTube.com/@JoeRoozFOLLOW US ON:X: https://x.com/joeroozFacebook: https://facebook.com/joeroozshowTwitch TV: https://twitch.tv/joeroozInstagram: https://instagram.com/notjoeroozTikTok: https://tiktok.com/joe.roozMinds: https://minds.com/joeroozGETTR: https://gettr.com/joeroozSpecial thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiExecutive Producer John SeeleyWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?Send Joe a message on #PodMatch: https://www.podmatch.com/member/joeCheck out our partners:Podhome.fmCreative EdgeMusic: https://youtube.com/@pogo️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

In today’s Sunday Bible Study, I pick up our ongoing journey through Revelation, continuing from chapter 10 and into the opening of chapter 11.  Despite battling a rough sore throat, we pressed on to explore the sealed “seven thunders,” what it means that “time shall be no longer,” and why Scripture can be both sweet and bitter—sweet to receive, but challenging when applied.  We also examined the identity and ministry of the two witnesses, cross-referencing Elijah and Moses through James 5, 1 Kings, Exodus, and Numbers, and tracked how their fire, plagues, and drought align with Revelation 11.  Along the way, we discussed the earthly, literal temple to be measured, the 42 months given to the Gentiles, and how the beast from the bottomless pit ties together with the king of the abyss and the sea beast of Revelation 13.  I closed with reminders about progressive revelation—how God unfolds truth in His timing—and encouragement to keep studying, praying, and testing all things by the Word of God.  Key passages included Revelation 10–11, Daniel 12, Zechariah 4, James 5, 1 Kings 17, Exodus 3, Numbers 16, 2 Kings 1, Luke 16, and Jonah 2.

In this Sunday Bible Study, I broadcast live from the Asylum and guide you into Revelation chapter 10—one of the book’s most mysterious and pivotal moments.We examine the mighty angel, the little open book, and the seven thunders, and consider why this passage likely marks the mid-tribulation pivot, opening the time of Jacob’s trouble. I walk through how Revelation 10 and the first half of 11 operate as a parenthesis between the sixth and seventh trumpets, and I connect key threads across Scripture—from Daniel 12 to Matthew 22, 24, and 25—to explore the distinctions between the bride, the guests, and the virgins, and why these categories help explain multiple raptures in the Bible.Along the way, I share a heartfelt Mother’s Day reflection, honoring the unseen labor, prayers, and faithfulness of mothers and grandmothers who shape generations. We close with encouragement: even amid judgments and escalating tribulation, prophecy isn’t chaos—God’s timeline stands, and Jesus Christ wins. We’ll pick up next time continuing through Revelation 10:4 and beyond.Resources mentioned include cross-references to Revelation 1, 5, 10–11, 19; Daniel 9, 12; Matthew 22, 24–25; 1 Thessalonians 4; 1 Corinthians 15; John 3; John 10; Hebrews; and select Old Testament narratives noted for typological parallels.

In this episode, I sit down with Cassian Bellino, host of Biblically Speaking, a platform dedicated to making Scripture understandable for everyday people.We explore her journey from a tech and sustainability background to facilitating conversations with leading scholars, and why so many Christians feel confused by the Bible—not because it’s impossible to grasp, but because it’s rarely taught with context. Cassian shares how historical background, careful questioning, and honest wrestling with tough topics can move faith from lukewarm to alive, and we unpack practical ways to start studying—like doing simple word studies and asking better questions—so Scripture becomes something you engage, not just skim. We also discuss the difference between pastors and scholars, how to handle disagreement with humility, and why bringing your real struggles directly to God can change your heart over time.If you’ve ever felt stuck or intimidated by the Bible, this conversation offers grounded steps to seek clarity, grow in confidence, and build a faith that’s thoughtful, informed, and deeply personal.

 In this episode, I welcome retired IT veteran and author Tilmer Wright Jr. for a wide-ranging, no-fluff conversation on leadership, AI, and common sense.We dig into why middle management so often turns good people into “miserable tyrants,” the sacred duty leaders owe both their teams and their bosses, and the hard lessons Tilmer learned over four decades managing software developers.Then we pivot to AI’s rapid creep into everyday life—from creative tools to hiring interviews—and why self-preserving, rule-bending systems shouldn’t surprise us. Tilmer unpacks the honeybee “waggle dance” inspiration behind his techno-thriller The Bit Dance, how hive-like AI could evolve, and where convenience crosses into dangerous dependency. We also lighten it up with Pink Floyd talk, the passage of time, and why it’s never too late to leave meaningful tracks with your work.Resources, links, and how to reach Tilmer are in the show notes.

Tonight, I sit down with California gubernatorial candidate Thunder Parley—an engineer-turned-entrepreneur who’s running as an unapologetic problem solver. We dive into California’s affordability crisis, utility rate hikes, homelessness and addiction policy, education accountability, and public safety.Thunder breaks down why he believes Sacramento’s lack of transparency fuels bad outcomes, and outlines specific proposals like his MATH tax plan (Making Advancement Tax-free for Households), moving social fees out of electric bills to lower rates, auditing utility oversight, and tracking classroom disruptions through LIMIT (Lost Instructional Minutes in Teaching). He also weighs in on Prop 36, shoplifting accountability, and why business climate matters to keep jobs and retirees in-state.We talk practical governance over political theater—how to measure outcomes, rebuild trust, and make California livable again without gutting the middle class. Whether you agree with him or not, Thunder offers a data-driven platform aimed at restoring opportunity and basic functionality.Explore his full plans and decide if this kind of outsider approach can actually move the needle in Sacramento. Resources mentioned: votethunder.com (Thunder Parley’s campaign and policy details); joerooz.com (show contact and support).Guest: Thunder Parleyhttps:// votethunder.com ️ LIVE TONIGHT AT 7PM CT  Rumble.com/JoeRoozYouTube.com/@JoeRooz Watch and Followhttps://Rumble.com/JoeRoozhttps://YouTube.com/@JoeRoozFOLLOW US ON:X: https://x.com/joeroozFacebook: https://facebook.com/joeroozshowTwitch TV: https://twitch.tv/joeroozInstagram: https://instagram.com/notjoeroozTikTok: https://tiktok.com/joe.roozMinds: https://minds.com/joeroozGETTR: https://gettr.com/joeroozSpecial thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiExecutive Producer John SeeleyWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?Send Joe a message on #PodMatch: https://www.podmatch.com/member/joeCheck out our partners:Podhome.fmCreative Edge

In today’s Sunday Bible Study, I walk us through Revelation 9—one of the most sobering and terrifying chapters in Scripture.We examine the opening of the bottomless pit, the release of tormenting locust-like beings, and the staggering reality that even under severe judgment a hardened world still refuses to repent. I unpack the text verse by verse, consider the imagery of the “bottomless pit,” the five-month period of torment, and the sixth trumpet’s 200 million horsemen, exploring prophetic cross-references in Isaiah 66 and Ezekiel 38.We close by reflecting on the heart issue at the center of it all: judgment exposes sin, but only grace softens the will—so the time to turn to Christ is now.Resources mentioned include passages from Revelation 9, Isaiah 66, Ezekiel 38, and related New Testament references on the seal of God and the work of the Holy Spirit.I also share ways to connect with the show and invite listeners to study along, pray, and consider the urgency of the gospel.

In this Wednesday with Wayne episode, I’m joined by our executive producer and longtime friend, Wayne “Dr. Prepper” Rankin, to get practical about emergency preparedness. We dig into real-world tips from Wayne’s decades living and hunting in the high mountains—how to keep food cold with limited generator use, cook with propane or on a backyard grill, and prioritize water storage the smart way. We also lay out what an urban pantry should look like, how to stretch simple shelf-stable foods (beans, rice, ramen, canned meats, crackers), and why flashlights, radios, blankets, and board games matter more than you think when the lights go out. Plus, Wayne shares commonsense guidance on radios (hand-crank, shortwave, and ham), heat and lighting options, and growing a bit of your own food—even if it’s just a few pots of salad greens on a porch.  We wrap with clear takeaways: aim for at least 72 hours of supplies; focus on what you’ll actually use and can cook without the grid; rotate pantry staples; store water safely and affordably; and build your local network so you’re not riding out emergencies alone. If you’ve been meaning to start prepping without the doomsday drama, this conversation is your blueprint.

In today’s Sunday Bible Study, we pick up in Revelation 8 where the seventh seal is opened, heaven falls silent for about half an hour, and the trumpet judgments begin. I break down each of the first four trumpets—judgments on the earth, sea, rivers, and heavens—showing their parallels to the plagues of Egypt and how they progressively intensify as God both judges and still extends mercy, calling people to repent.We look at the prayers of the tribulation martyrs, what the silence in heaven may signify, why “third part” appears repeatedly, how Wormwood bittering the waters connects to Israel’s role as the “salt of the earth,” and why these signs make clear we are not yet in the Tribulation. We close with the triple “Woe” warning and a reminder that God’s silence is never His absence—these trumpets are final alarms to turn back while there’s still time. Scripture references include Revelation 8, cross-referenced with Revelation 4, 6, 9, 11; Numbers, Exodus, Joshua; Habakkuk; Psalms 19; Jeremiah 9; Ezekiel 47; 2 Kings 2; Isaiah 11; Luke 21; Matthew 24; Amos; Joel; Philippians 3.I encourage listeners to examine these passages, keep their affections set on things above, and share the gospel while grace is still extended.

In tonight’s live show from the Asylum in Eagle Pass, I sit down with dark fiction author and former adolescent mental health professional, Seth Voorhees.We dig into how real-world counseling experience shapes believable characters, the misconceptions people have about mental health (especially with youth), and why environment and circumstance often matter more than we admit when judging human behavior.We also explore spirituality in dark narratives, morality in a gray world, and how asking direct questions can save lives.Along the way, we swap stories about writing process, secondary trauma, and the fine line between authenticity and entertainment—plus a few laughs, Monty Python nods, and some very live-show chaos courtesy of a mid-episode coffee spill.We preview Seth’s upcoming horror novel set in West Carlton, Michigan—where a secretive society called the Albatross faces disappearances and murder—and touch on his prior work “Immune,” a pandemic tale that pits the “immune” against the “inflicted” while testing love, loyalty, and faith. If you’re into character-driven, psychologically grounded dark fiction, this one’s for you. Guest: Seth Voorheeshttps://sethtvoorhees.com Watch and Followhttps://Rumble.com/JoeRoozhttps://YouTube.com/@JoeRoozFOLLOW US ON:X: https://x.com/joeroozFacebook: https://facebook.com/joeroozshowTwitch TV: https://twitch.tv/joeroozInstagram: https://instagram.com/notjoeroozTikTok: https://tiktok.com/joe.roozMinds: https://minds.com/joeroozGETTR: https://gettr.com/joeroozSpecial thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiExecutive Producer John SeeleyWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?Send Joe a message on #PodMatch: https://www.podmatch.com/member/joeCheck out our partners:Podhome.fmCreative EdgeMusic: https://youtube.com/@pogo️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

 Tonight I sat down with sci‑fi author Eric Goebelbecker for a fast-moving conversation that starts with H. G. Wells and ends up staring straight at us. Eric’s continuation of War of the Worlds isn’t really about aliens—it’s about power, fear, and how governments and societies react when the unimaginable hits.We dig into why Wells wrote the original as a critique of empire, what happens when advanced tech gets left on the battlefield, and how a single person can still make a difference when systems fail. We also talk craft: keeping tech believable, avoiding preachiness, and weaving real history into alternate timelines—from World War I trenches to what a very different World War II might look like.Eric shares his unconventional path from Army radar tech to Wall Street programmer to novelist, plus a peek at his new series about a lone immortal navigating history and present-day power plays. If you love smart, grounded sci‑fi that uses fiction to interrogate the real world, this one’s for you.

In tonight’s episode, I’m joined by fantasy author J.M. Shaw for a lively, funny, and deeply honest conversation about what truly separates writers from people who just talk about writing. JM shares how late-life diagnoses of autism and ADHD helped her reframe perceived limitations into creative strengths—fueling her character-first approach and emotionally grounded fantasy worlds.We dig into craft, including how to create characters with genuine depth, why struggle can sharpen creativity, and why she avoids gratuitous scenes in favor of classic, adventurous storytelling. J.M. also gives us a look at her ongoing series featuring Callum Walker, a young man born with magic who straddles two worlds, and teases a new project that blends dystopia with Robin Hood and Romeo & Juliet vibes. Along the way, we swap stories about family, routines, and the realities of carving out writing time, plus practical encouragement for aspiring authors to stop hiding their work and just start sharing it.If you’re into character-driven fantasy with heart, real stakes, and zero fluff, you’ll love J.M.’s approach. We close with a reminder to act before the window closes—because confidence follows action, not the other way around.Guest: J.M.

In this 300th episode, I take us deep into Revelation 7—a parenthetical pause between judgments that reveals the relentless grace of God, even in the end times.We unpack the sealing of the 144,000 (identified as Jewish male virgins from specific tribes) and explore their role as kingdom-preaching missionaries, drawing parallels with Paul as a type “born out of due time.” We also look at the great multitude from every nation who come out of the Great Tribulation, the nature of tribulation salvation, and how their worship before the throne echoes the Feast of Tabernacles and Psalm 23—culminating in the Lamb shepherding them and God wiping away their tears.Along the way, we connect Scripture with Scripture—Ecclesiastes’ wind cycles, John 3’s wind-Spirit analogy, and the prophetic framework that allowed history to pivot based on Israel’s response in Acts. The big takeaway: even amid wrath, God pauses to save. If He’s still reaching then, He is certainly reaching now. Grace is on the table—don’t miss the window.
