The Silent Pandemic: Understanding Grief and Finding Help with Doug Lawrence (Ep. 220)
DEC 16, 2025
The Silent Pandemic: Understanding Grief and Finding Help with Doug Lawrence (Ep. 220)
<p>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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br /><br /></p> <p>Joe's GoFundMe: <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/raise-funds-to-cover-mortgage-escrow-shortage" target="_blank">https://www.gofundme.com/f/raise-funds-to-cover-mortgage-escrow-shortage</a><br /><br />FOLLOW US ON:<br />RUMBLE: <a href="https://rumble.com/joerooz" target="_blank">https://rumble.com/joerooz</a><br />YouTube: <a href="https://youtube.com/@joerooz" target="_blank">https://youtube.com/@joerooz</a><br />TWITCH: <a href="https://twitch.tv/joerooz" target="_blank">https://twitch.tv/joerooz</a><br />X: <a href="https://x.com/joerooz" target="_blank">https://x.com/joerooz</a><br />Facebook: <a href="https://facebook.com/joeroozpodcast" target="_blank">https://facebook.com/joeroozpodcast</a><br />Minds: <a href="https://minds.com/joerooz" target="_blank">https://minds.com/joerooz</a><br />GETTR: <a href="https://gettr.com/joerooz" target="_blank">https://gettr.com/joerooz</a><br /><br /> Want to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?

Judges: When Everyone Did What Was Right in Their Own Eyes (Ep. 219)
DEC 14, 2025
Judges: When Everyone Did What Was Right in Their Own Eyes (Ep. 219)
<p>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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br /></p> <p>Joe's GoFundMe: <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/raise-funds-to-cover-mortgage-escrow-shortage" target="_blank">https://www.gofundme.com/f/raise-funds-to-cover-mortgage-escrow-shortage</a><br /><br />FOLLOW US ON:<br />RUMBLE: <a href="https://rumble.com/joerooz" target="_blank">https://rumble.com/joerooz</a><br />YouTube: <a href="https://youtube.com/@joerooz" target="_blank">https://youtube.com/@joerooz</a><br />TWITCH: <a href="https://twitch.tv/joerooz" target="_blank">https://twitch.tv/joerooz</a><br />X: <a href="https://x.com/joerooz" target="_blank">https://x.com/joerooz</a><br />Facebook: <a href="https://facebook.com/joeroozpodcast" target="_blank">https://facebook.com/joeroozpodcast</a><br />Minds: <a href="https://minds.com/joerooz" target="_blank">https://minds.com/joerooz</a><br />GETTR: <a href="https://gettr.com/joerooz" target="_blank">https://gettr.com/joerooz</a><br /><br /> Want to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?

Prognostications of a Crypto Psychic: 2026, ETFs, and the Patience Play (Ep. 218)
DEC 13, 2025
Prognostications of a Crypto Psychic: 2026, ETFs, and the Patience Play (Ep. 218)
<p>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.<br /><br />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.

Watchmen in a Complacent Age: Apologetics, Hope, and Holiness with David Libby (Ep. 217)
DEC 13, 2025
Watchmen in a Complacent Age: Apologetics, Hope, and Holiness with David Libby (Ep. 217)
<p>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.<br /><br /></p> <p>Joe's GoFundMe: <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/raise-funds-to-cover-mortgage-escrow-shortage" target="_blank">https://www.gofundme.com/f/raise-funds-to-cover-mortgage-escrow-shortage</a><br /><br />FOLLOW US ON:<br />RUMBLE: <a href="https://rumble.com/joerooz" target="_blank">https://rumble.com/joerooz</a><br />YouTube: <a href="https://youtube.com/@joerooz" target="_blank">https://youtube.com/@joerooz</a><br />TWITCH: <a href="https://twitch.tv/joerooz" target="_blank">https://twitch.tv/joerooz</a><br />X: <a href="https://x.com/joerooz" target="_blank">https://x.com/joerooz</a><br />Facebook: <a href="https://facebook.com/joeroozpodcast" target="_blank">https://facebook.com/joeroozpodcast</a><br />Minds: <a href="https://minds.com/joerooz" target="_blank">https://minds.com/joerooz</a><br />GETTR: <a href="https://gettr.com/joerooz" target="_blank">https://gettr.com/joerooz</a><br /><br /> Want to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?

What the Founders Would Say Today: Civics, Compromise, and Culture (Ep. 216)
DEC 11, 2025
What the Founders Would Say Today: Civics, Compromise, and Culture (Ep. 216)
<p>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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br /></p> <p>Joe's GoFundMe: <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/raise-funds-to-cover-mortgage-escrow-shortage" target="_blank">https://www.gofundme.com/f/raise-funds-to-cover-mortgage-escrow-shortage</a><br /><br />FOLLOW US ON:<br />RUMBLE: <a href="https://rumble.com/joerooz" target="_blank">https://rumble.com/joerooz</a><br />YouTube: <a href="https://youtube.com/@joerooz" target="_blank">https://youtube.com/@joerooz</a><br />TWITCH: <a href="https://twitch.tv/joerooz" target="_blank">https://twitch.tv/joerooz</a><br />X: <a href="https://x.com/joerooz" target="_blank">https://x.com/joerooz</a><br />Facebook: <a href="https://facebook.com/joeroozpodcast" target="_blank">https://facebook.com/joeroozpodcast</a><br />Minds: <a href="https://minds.com/joerooz" target="_blank">https://minds.com/joerooz</a><br />GETTR: <a href="https://gettr.com/joerooz" target="_blank">https://gettr.com/joerooz</a><br /><br /> Want to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?
