The Joe Rooz Show

<p>Broadcasting live from the Asylum Studios in Eagle Pass, Texas, I kick off a packed show with award-winning author and artist Jonni Jordyn. We dig into her journey from performing with legendary musicians like members of Santana and opening for the Blues Brothers to becoming a novelist later in life. Joni shares how acting shaped her character-first storytelling, why she outlines (but stays flexible), and how she approaches revisions until emotion and continuity click. We explore her Lost Art of Magic five-part series nearing its finale, her Virus techno-thriller trilogy born from genetic simulation code, and themes of patriarchy, satire, and world-building across fantasy and sci-fi. She also talks reviews, writing pace, and what keeps her inspired in Denver—plus candid thoughts on AI’s role in creativity.<br /><br />In hour two, author and financial strategist Tony Bradshaw joins to discuss The Millionaire Choice, building wealth with a clear mindset shift, and designing a “millionaire plan” (income, debt, and wealth strategies reviewed annually). We cover lessons from his years leading digital transformation at Dave Ramsey’s organization, stewardship-centered leadership, the difference between simple budgeting and wealth-first thinking, and practical steps for beginners: start investing small, then shape a budget around priorities. Tony shares perspectives on corrupt capitalism, marketing, scalable systems, gold/silver, real estate, crypto, and using AI to streamline podcasting and business.<br /><br />We close with a surprise third hour: the long-awaited return of my good friend Wayne Rankin, who updates us on recovery from major surgery, plans for his upcoming show, and why he’s ditching commercialized Christmas for handmade gifts and service—handing out care bags to truckers and focusing on the heart of the season.<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?

<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?

<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?

<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.

<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.
