The Joe Rooz Show

<p>In this episode, I sit down with certified clinical hypnotherapist and medical hypnosis specialist Craig Meriwether of Sacred Mystery Hypnotherapy to explore the science and spirituality behind hypnotherapy, past-life regression, natal (in‑utero) regression, and life-between-lives work. We unpack how hypnosis actually functions as a natural shift in brainwave states—not mind control—and why healing can occur whether a regression is a literal past-life memory or a symbolic construct of the subconscious. Craig shares compelling cases, including trauma relief, pain reduction, and powerful insights that often emerge in the “healing place” of the soul realm. I also reflect on my own recent regression session with Craig—what it felt like, what surprised me, and the themes that surfaced for my life today—emphasizing the practical takeaways around patterns, purpose, family, and the pull of “home.”<br /><br />We also cover who should and shouldn’t try regression work, the difference between fun curiosity and therapeutic intent, how Zoom sessions can be as effective as in-person work, and why integrating the experience afterward (recordings, transcripts, journaling) matters. If you’re curious about past lives, the mechanics of consciousness, or simply want a grounded take on whether this stuff can genuinely help, this conversation delivers insight, skepticism, and hope in equal measure.<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?

In this Bible Study Sunday edition, I walk through Israel’s transition from judges to kings and the danger of comparing ourselves to the world. We revisit Saul—the people’s choice—and David—God’s choice—to draw out what God values most: the heart. From there, we survey key kings, the division of the kingdom, and why imitating worldly power corrodes vision and faith.<br /><br />Along the way, I unpack the Jehoiakim/Jehoiachin (Coniah) curse to show a compelling, “political” proof of the virgin birth, then turn to Lamentations to reflect on how a people lose their crown when they lose their God-given vision—contrasting that with Caleb’s steadfast faith in Joshua 14.<br /><br />We close by urging personal examination, renewed zeal for the Gospel’s “foolishness” of preaching, and a call to recover our vision before it’s too late. I also preview tomorrow’s conversation on past life regression therapy with guest Craig Meriwether and share service times for those local to Eagle Pass.<br />&nbsp;<br /><ul><li>PodMatch (hosts and guests marketplace mentioned): <a href="https://podmatch.com/" target="_blank">https://podmatch.com/</a></li></ul>&nbsp;<br /><ul><li>The Joe Rooz Show on PodMatch (host profile referenced): <a href="https://podmatch.com/member/joe" target="_blank">https://podmatch.com/member/joe</a></li></ul>&nbsp;<br /><ul><li>Podhome (podcast hosting platform referenced): <a href="https://podhome.fm/" target="_blank">https://podhome.fm/</a></li></ul>&nbsp;<br /><ul><li>Craig Meriwether — Arizona Integrative Hypnotherapy (upcoming guest): <a href="https://arizonaintegrativehypnotherapy.com/" target="_blank">https://arizonaintegrativehypnotherapy.com/</a></li></ul>&nbsp;<br /><ul><li>Craig Meriwether — Bio page: <a href="https://arizonaintegrativehypnotherapy.com/craig-meriwether-hypnotherapist/" target="_blank">https://arizonaintegrativehypnotherapy.com/craig-meriwether-hypnotherapist/</a></li></ul> <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 live Friday night episode from Asylum Studios in Eagle Pass, I sit down with Dan “Taxation Is Theft” Berman—author, activist, and provocateur—to unpack his decade-long battle with the IRS, why he believes most Americans misunderstand the income tax, and how Supreme Court rulings frame the income tax as an excise rather than a direct tax. Dan walks us through W-2 vs. 1099 realities, withholding strategies, and how he’s secured refunds (even of Social Security/Medicare withholdings) by challenging IRS assumptions and paperwork—without resorting to sovereign citizen claims. We also explore the Federal Reserve’s incentive structure, inflation as engineered policy, and Dan’s blueprint to “Crash the Fed” through peaceful, practical steps including moving savings out of vulnerable instruments and into alternatives like metals and certain cryptocurrencies. Along the way, we hit state income tax parallels, property tax pain, campaign finance loopholes, and why broad public consensus—not politicians—ultimately changes policy.<br /><br />We close with resources to learn the legal history (Sixteenth Amendment, Brushaber, Baltic Mining), how to read your IRS transcripts, and where to follow Dan’s ongoing cases and tools. If you’ve ever wondered whether the system is rigged—or how to responsibly push back—this conversation is a crash course in tax skepticism, strategy, and personal responsibility.<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>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?
