  • E 180: Federal Stupidity, Individual Apathy and the Citizen Warrior
    2024/09/16

    Send us a text

    We’ve talked before about Federal Stupidity which is rampant in our society. But what can we possibly do about it?

    From Institutional Corruption to Societal Anarchy to Societal Silence from the masses.

    There's a lot to chew on in this show that is necessary for us to ponder before we can actually answer todays question. Individual Apathy. What is it and how can we overcome it?

    We'll ask the question, who and where are the Prophets, Overseers, Watchmen, and Spiritual leaders today? Why have they not stepped up to give spiritual insight, direction or rebuke into todays crazy conversations?

    If we could find them and encourage them to "stand and deliver," what would they tell us that we don't already know?

    Would they have political solutions to share or simply spiritual insights to ponder?

    We all know the pickle we are in, and no doubt many of us have corrective opinions and solutions to share...but after all is heard and said…it comes down to ACTIONS.

    What CAN I do, regardless of their input…and WHEN will I start to be the Difference Maker in my circle of influence?

    I can be a Citizen warrior, a Citizen Parent, a Citizen educator, and be the Influencer in my own circle.

  • E 179: The Man in the Mirror and the Man in the Arena
    2024/09/13

    Send us a text

    Today we are going to take a look at a few Bible characters that most of us know quite well. But don’t let the title fool you…It’s not Michael Jackson.

    David the Giant-Slayer and Joseph the Dream Interpreter.

    Who hasn’t heard the story of David and Goliath? David - the shepherd boy turned giant-slayer. Before he became known throughout Judea, all of Israel, and around the world as a “mighty man of valor,” for his most courageous and noble battle in the valley of Elah, he was just a boy, the youngest of eight sons, and the least important in his fathers eyes. Yet in the eyes of His heavenly Father, David was a man after God’s own heart.

    There's a lot we can learn about Godly character, faith, courage, patience, determination, holy boldness and confidence in God as we ponder the backstory of events going on in 1 Samuel 17.

    David knew God. David knew his gifts and talents. He understood that the battle is God's, not his. We'll see how Goliath represents all the accusatory voices of darkness and oppression and how to ignore them.

    Taking a closer look at Joseph, the dreamer and eventually the master architect of the first successful Food Management Program ahead of famine, we'll see that Joseph could have seen himself as a victim, but he carried on nonetheless.

    Like David, he too was the youngest in his family. He too had unique gifts and was destine to be used by God to save many lives, but the pathway there would be fraught with many setbacks. Abandoned by his brothers for suggesting his star was brighter than theirs, they sold him into slavery in Egypt. But he found favor with Potaphor, and undesired favor from Potaphor’s wife…which leads to prison. While in prison, he shares an interpretation of a dream with two cell mates.

    Like David, his reputation (his gifts, his attitude and his faithfulness to God) was recognized by others and proceeded him...opening the door to new opportunities.

    So who do you see when you look into the mirror? Do you see the heart of a Lion, a mighty man of Valor and a man after Gods own heart, like David? Or do you see the timid, spineless fearful soldiers that refused to step forward to face Goliath?

    Do you see yourself as a victim, wrongfully treated by your own family, wrongly accused and locked up in prison like Joseph was?

    I hope the reflection you see in the Mirror, for maybe the first time in your life…is the man or women that God sees. A forgiven, embattled warrior for the KING that has been given more than enough to OVERCOME the Goliaths that haunt you. I hope you see yourself still in the fight, rendering your gifts freely even when you feel overlooked or maybe missed your chance, like Joseph did.

    These are just a few of the Bible characters I discuss in my book Legacies of Valor: Traits of Character - The Noble and the Notable. You can find my book at
    https://www.onedaycloser.biz/services-4 or wherever you buy books.

    “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly...,” Theadore Roosevelt

  • E 178: Kamala Announces Three Legs to her Economic Policy Stool. Like the story of King Rehoboam, this is one foolish act.
    2024/09/09

    Send us a text

    Today's story centers around a passage found in 1 Kings 12: 1-15.

    SPOILER ALERT: It's got something to do with scorpions, higher taxes, heavier burdens on the people and in the end things do not go well for the people or the King.

    Mark does a great job teeing up the story and expertly exposes the error of Kamala's Economic Policies from raising Corporate Taxes from 21% to 28%, which will push corporations to produce their products overseas which will increase unemployment here at home.

    Her plan to double Capital Gains Tax to 44.6% from its current rate of 20% will be disastrous for Americans and her plan to tax Unrealized Gains on assets that haven't yet sold will devastate American households at all income levels.

  • E 177: A discussion with Robert Kennedy Jr.
    2024/09/06

    Send us a text

    Today, we have a creative discussion with Robert Kennedy Jr. to learn his perspective of the Democrat party, how it has changed over the years and to gain insight into his reasons for joining forces with Trump.

    How would you describe the Democratic Party of your father and Uncle and what does the party represent today?

    Is this why you left the Democrat Party?

    The Democrats talk about “saving the Democracy”…seems to be their only agenda short of hating Trump. Do you agree?

    Has the DNC forever tarnished what we once held true, honorable and worthy in representing Democracy on the global stage?

    How did the Democrats redefine the definition of Democracy so quickly?

    How serious is the Main Stream Media and Social Media Collusion? How deep is the corruption?

    Talk to us about the NeoCons, Foreign Actors and the Threat of WW3.

    Just recently, you joined forces with Trump, suspending your campaign and endorsing Trump as a Unity Party. Tell us more about that.

    You are a strong advocate for ending Chronic Diseases. Tell us more about these challenges?

  • E 176: Top 10 things holding back the Advancement of Gods Kingdom
    2024/09/02

    Send us a text

    Happy Labor Day! Hopefully you are not at work today…but celebrating that you have work.

    Again, in the spirit of Late Night with David letterman…

    here are our Top 10 things that may be holding the advancement of Gods Kingdom back.

    10. The Warring Angels are on Holiday, hence evil is running rampant

    9. God is still searching for the 144,000 Chosen so he can begin to prepare them for whatever he has planned

    8. God has given the world over to Satan for a season to refine His Chosen, like he did for Job.

    7. God is simply not ready yet. He wants chaos to continue UNTIL we repent! Could America survive 4 more years under Commrade Chaos Kamala? The ones that follow Christ could!

    6. Our Spiritual Leadership (Pastors, Priests, Imans, etc) have mislead us or they are clueless themselves to as to how best to STIR their congregations to grow up in Christ. (Maybe our delivery needs to change with the times…meaning maybe leaders need to be more truthful, bold and blunt to wake the sheep up!)

    5. God is waiting for all the chess pieces to align on the global scale that will usher in the next wave of repentance or events prior to Judgement Day. (Think about this…the Chess Pieces in the board game RISK..are currently all unstable or in a state of change…Israel, Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, Iran, China, etc)

    4. Forces of darkness seem to have the advantage at the moment. Suicide is at an all time high, driven by depression, disconnection, and dysfunction…an inability to cope in a world of fake relationships (dis-social media), lack of vision, no path to the American dream (better job, 1st time homeownership, and youth opting away from having kids). RFKJ and Calley Means, author of Good Energy, quotes a whole host of stats that ARE existential threats to Americans of all ages. 70% of our diets are ultra processed foods. 30% of young adults are pre diabetes; 50% of young adults are overweight or obese; 40% of youth are diagnosed with mental health disorders; these stats were closer to Zero just a generation ago! Our biggest institutions (from Big Pharma to hospitals, doctors and medical institutions PROFIT when our kids are diagnosed with these chronic diseases. Trump and RFKJ are of one accord and focused on addressing these issues.

    3. Regardless of who wins the Presidency, find your calling (your gift, passion and battlefield), find your voice, trust God to provide FAVOR and engage. Maybe quit that third (10 hours a week low paying job) and get involved at school (or wherever your battlefield is). Trust God to stretch your dollar and shrink your budget…expect God to honor and reward your new Godly focus!

    2. If Trump wins, you’ll find less destructive opposition. If not, Trust God more!

    1. Hound the gates of heaven with prayer to heal our land!

    Let us approach the throne of grace with CONFIDENCE, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in times of trouble (Heb 4:16)

    And this IS the confidence that we HAVE in Him, that WHATEVER we ask according to his will, we know that he hears us, and knowing that he hears us in what we ask, we know we have the very petition of our heart. (1John 5:14-16)

  • E 175: Top 20 "Best Ideas" to Turn America Around for the Better
    2024/08/30

    Send us a text

    In the spirit of Late Night with David letterman…here's our Top 20 "Best Ideas" that could turn America around for the better.

    20. New Vaccination Mandate for all deep state actors, politicians, questionable judges, media anchors, attorneys, and justices. The new vaccine requires them to take six boosters of truth serum and then be interviewed on national news by a panel of truth seekers.

    19. A federal ban on Stupidity. Anyone found saying something stupid (defined as any statement proven as non-sense or unreasonable) is immediately fired (regardless of rank, wealth or status), and banned from holding any future position of power.

    18. A federal ban on lying, cheating, stealing, including any deceptive statements or actions, that again can be proven as such, by an oversight committee of 9 and verified by a secondary audit committee of 7. Those found guilty, would be fired and banned from holding any future position of power.

    17. Defund higher educational institutions that have more than 1 billion in their endowments. If registered paying students (Visas or not) are arrested for anti-American values at protests…the student is evicted from the institution and the college is fined $2 million per incident.

    16. Mandate media benefit the good of the citizens. Stop telling lies, hold government officials accountable. Journalist found untruthful, inciting hate speech, are fined $500,000 per incident and their affiliation network is fined $1 million per incident.

    15. Licensing journalists as influences of the general public, thereby if they are caught lying to the public, their license can be pulled and they lose their job

    14. Audit all federal agencies and the Federal Reserve, including Forth Knox, which was las done in 1953

    13. Disbar all lawyers and judges not following our laws

    12. Hold a national convention of Christian, Jewish, Muslim and Ancient Religious leaders to attend a week long working session to define and present spiritual paths forward to civility, peace and unity.

    11. Cut all federal department budgets by 50%, DOE get cut 90%

    10. Eliminate all pork barrel spending and require ALL NEW BILLS to be SINGLE ISSUE BILLS

    9. More effective rebuking of Social Media users to begin forwarding and sharing uplifting Christian messaging and less about their dining experiences, concert pics or stupid selfies

    8. Another “Wake Up” event, similar to 911, that CALLS US ALL BACK to Love of Christ; Love of Country and Love for our fellow man

    7. Trump suggests 10 years in prison for destruction of monuments (no bail no exceptions) 1 year in jail for burning the flag!

    6. Trump will request all resignations be submitted on Inauguration Day by top officials or expect to be fired without benefits

    5. Get back to the understanding the Bible and how its wisdom and counsel served as this country's founding foundation.

    4. “And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God..." Ephesians 4:11-14

    3. Hound the gates of Glory and ask God to show mercy and heal our land.

    2. And this IS the confidence that we HAVE in Him, that WHATEVER we ask according to his will, we know that he hears us, and knowing that he hears us in what we ask, we know we have the very petition of our heart. (1John 5:14-16)

    1. Let us approach the throne of grace with CONFIDENCE, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in times of trouble (Heb 4:16)

  • E 174: Post Inauguration Day Scenarios & What the Bible says about Election Criteria
    2024/08/26

    Send us a text

    In todays show, Mark and Dave explore three 'Post Inauguration Day' scenarios and dig into scriptures that speak to our role with regard to elections.

    Scenario 1: Trump wins by a landslide:
    Overnight Peace on a global scale
    Corrective policies deployed to right the ship
    Extreme left & deep state bureaucrats will dig in to defend their ground
    Coverups will be fully exposed
    Low level players / department heads may be prosecuted
    Biden crime family fades away

    Scenario 2: Trump wins by a narrow margin:
    The left will contest the results
    Media will continue to fight non stop
    Coverups and corruption remains
    Few will be held to account
    Biden crime family fades away

    Scenario 3: Harris / Walz win by narrow margin:
    Persecution of Trump and all MAGA activist
    China advances on Taiwan
    Iran and her proxies all move against Israel
    Full appeasement strategy with over seas actors


    What does the Bible say about Elections?

    Deuteronomy 17:14-20 NIV
    15
    be sure to appoint over you a king the Lord your God chooses. He must be from among your fellow Israelites. Do not place a foreigner over you, one who is not an Israelite. 16 The king, moreover, must not acquire great numbers of horses for himself or make the people return to Egypt to get more of them, for the Lord has told you, "You are not to go back that way again." 18 When he takes the throne of his kingdom, he is to write for himself on a scroll a copy of this law, taken from that of the Levitical priests. 19 It is to be with him, and he is to read it all the days of his life so that he may learn to revere the Lord his God and follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees 20 and not consider himself better than his fellow Israelites and turn from the law to the right or to the left. Then he and his descendants will reign a long time over his kingdom in Israel.

    Proverbs 14:34 NIV

    34 Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people.

    Proverbs 21:1 NIV

    1 In the Lord's hand the king's heart is a stream of water that he channels toward all who please him.

    Proverbs 29:2 NIV

    2 When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan.

    Deuteronomy 1:13 NIV

    13 Choose some wise, understanding and respected men from each of your tribes, and I will set them over you."

    2 Chronicles 7:14 NIV

    14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

    Ecclesiastes 10:2 NIV

    2 The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.

    Exodus 18:17-26 NIV

    20 Teach them his decrees and instructions, and show them the way they are to live and how they are to behave. 21 But select capable men from all the people-men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain-and appoint them as officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens.
