Are we truly as divided as we think we are? Is there any hope? Josh explains the two most popular, and recent, political slogans and asks the questions, “Can we? Might we? Could we? Will we?” ever hold on to the ideas and ideals of greatness that made America: equality, a booming economy, protection, safety, sovereignty, prosperity, morality, Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Listen to hear Josh’s response on why he thinks that “Yes We Can” “Make America Great Again”.

Once again, we are discovering the WISDOM found within the characters of Winnie the Pooh. Join Josh as he discusses looking for sunshine in this world, saying goodbye, and a positive that can be found within disorganization. Remember, wisdom can be found most anywhere, if we are willing to look for the positive and continue to hold on to hope.

Destiny: Life or Death, Choose Your Destiny Where is your focus when the storms of life try to blow you off course and the waves of perceived iniquity smack you in the face? Do you get knocked around? Do you get knocked down? Or do you focus your eyes on the prize? Our thoughts are so powerful that they control our beliefs, and our belief will strengthen our hope or extinguish it. Listen as Josh explains the power of our thoughts and how our focus can kill us or save us.

In this episode, Josh talks about what happens when we choose to defy the good Fruit in our lives. He uses his book, Destiny: Life or Death, Choose Your Destiny, to help explain this. He also uses two well-known characters and their story to illustrate the importance of choosing correctly who, or what, you will trust and who, or what, you will defy. We will always be living in defiance, just as we will always be living in Trust. The question is: Who will you defy, and who will you Trust?

Did your foundation dye in color? Maybe it’s time we repair the lenses through which we perceive our little world. In PART II, Josh further breaks down the divide created between fellow American citizens—a well-played and powerful division tactic to keep the enemy out of sight and in control of our lives. Can we open our eyes and see the depth, the facts, the context, and the truth? I believe, one day, we can all experience reality.

The book “How You Can Be Led By the Spirit of God” by Kenneth E. Hagin is a very powerful book! It’s one of the books that I read on a regular basis. I believe that we can always learn more, always grow more, and always fine tune our hearing of God’s voice.

The Lord led me to do this healing prayer for you. Please share it with anyone you know that needs healing.

This episode explores and explains the latter part of the parable of the prodigal son. Although there are many people out there that identify with the prodigal, there are also many that can identify with the elder son. Jesus’ documented teaching is found in Luke 15. I believe as you listen to this podcast, the Lord will give you revelation on this, and help you to receive. Just like He helped me when I first heard this preached! Since then I’ve studied it out and made it my own. It’s a powerful revelation and I hope that you all will do the same. Please like, comment, and share this. Let’s get the good news out to all of the elder sons out there that are working hard for the Lord, trying not to do anything wrong.

This is a segment four of Bold Identity : Bold Belief: Through the Eyes of a Pastor. I know that many of you are called to ministry, possibly even called being a pastor and I hope that this episode and future ones will help to encourage you and train you and get you on the right path to becoming all that God has called you to become!!

This is the first episode of the “What you won’t hear in church” section of the podcast. Many of the topics in these segments are going to be very controversial. Please make sure that you read my blog that goes along with the “What you won’t hear in church segments". Share this episode everywhere you can. You never know who needs to hear it.

Is your world colored in either Red or Blue? Are we falling for another division tactic by the enemy? Listen, while Josh explains how color is often used to divide us and corrupt our perception of ourselves and our world. Hear how he incorporates a personal story of watching John Wayne with our chosen rose-colored glasses. The good journey is just as important as a righteous end. Will we continue to be divided by color, or will we be united in our depth of reality, seeking a land of prosperity and freedom for our fellow citizen?

What feelings, emotions, truth, or character are we exposing to the world on Social Media? Is it one we will be proud of, that we can stand firm on? Is it helping the situation? Is it even helping us grow in a positive and understanding way? In this episode, Josh talks about two posts he saw on Social Media during this crazy year that was 2020. He breaks them down from the negative and emotion-controlled expose that they were, and shows the human nature we all fight, and finds inspiration that everyone should be able to agree with and rally behind. Change the negative to a positive. Find the hope in the ocean of emotion. Uncover a hidden truth. And hear Common Sense.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! There is SO MUCH GOOD INFORMATION prepared that I just wanted to let you know some of those topics that you can hear in future episodes! One can hardly speak of correcting oneself or the future without at least learning a little something from the past. There will be history lessons, philosophical thoughts, stories, and information about the two most popular “isms”. Ever question how our government is supposed to work? I discuss that! Like art and entertainment? So do I. I also…well, you must listen to this teaser episode to learn more and to hear any wisdom hidden within it.

Are we truly living a life of love, of servitude, of God’s commands? Are we choosing to serve another or our own selfish desires and fears and vices; are we choosing to sacrifice for another? Our fear does not demand submission from others. Our desires do not demand sacrifice and suffering from others. Our fear, desires, and life, if lived correctly, should be sacrificed for love; not suffering on our part, but understanding of another’s liberty and free will to choose for themselves. And there is no greater love than John 3:16.

Merry Christmas! This Christmas Eve we are talking about giving and receiving in a way that you may not have heard before. It’s from a revelation that God shared with me, and I want to share it with you. For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him… John 3:16-17

What you won’t hear in church! This section of the podcast deals with truths from the Word of God that many people have said they do not hear in church. It’s very unfortunate! Because the Word of God is powerful and the truths contained in it will set you free! This particular episode is about “working out your own salvation.” In studying it out, it’s not what many have thought it to be. Praise God for the Greek words and the ability to look things up today! Scriptures covered: Philippians 2:5-13 and Philemon 1:6

Wisdom. Wisdom can be found most anywhere, if we are willing to perceive it.

Join me as we dive into some wisdoms we can all use for our lives from these famous Hundred Acre Woods characters.

In this special Christmas episode, Josh discusses a life-changing positive he learned in this chaotic, uncertain and tumultuous time of 2020. In the digital age we are always on the go and we feel the need to always be moving, but what if there is an important and vital aspect of life that we are ignoring—something life-altering that could have negative effects on our eternal life if not understood? Listen to this hidden truth and find the positive that we can, and should, incorporate into our lives. And have a very Merry Christmas!!!

Do you stand firm in the face of adversity? Is your foundation stable? Listen to a story of a king who, through weakness, did not stand firm and knelt before wickedness, to evil, and was willing to sacrifice his soul and the lives of others, all in an attempt to appease a bully, a thug, a dictator, a wicked king. Why? How? What happened? It’s a story of submission, repentance, redemption, victory, and death.
