From Preacher to FBI Agent: Inside a 24-Year Career | Eric Robinson
Tonight, former FBI Special Agent Eric Robinson joins Joe to tell the remarkable story of going from the pulpit to Quantico and a 24-year career with the FBI, including 15 years as a SWAT operator. Eric explains how 12 years in Christian ministry unexpectedly prepared him to interview suspects, build rapport and understand people, what television gets wrong about FBI tactics and interrogations, how SWAT operations evolved during his career, and why retirement forced him to rethink an identity built around being an agent. Joe and Eric also compare experiences from ministry and law enforcement, swap stories about interviewing suspects and discuss what years of dealing with criminals taught them about human nature, judgment, empathy and personal responsibility. Eric also shares stories behind his upcoming book Irreverent, including criminal investigations, counterterrorism and a murder-for-hire case involving a plot to kill a federal judge.

Let God Be God: Practical Lessons from Daniel 4
In this Sunday Bible Study, we walk through Daniel 4 and Nebuchadnezzar's hard lesson in humility as God uses the king's dream, his fall and eventual restoration to demonstrate that “the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men.” We look at both the prophetic and practical sides of the chapter: God's authority is everlasting, pride brings abasement, and human wisdom can never replace dependence on the Lord. Nebuchadnezzar's experience also becomes a warning about self-exaltation, misplaced confidence and trying to live as though we are ultimately in control. Sometimes God allows us to spend time in the pasture before we reach the palace, and Daniel 4 leaves us with a simple but weighty lesson: seek God's wisdom, learn what adversity is trying to teach us, and above all, let God be God.

Purpose After the Mission: Navy SEAL Marty Strong on Leadership, Loss & Resilience
Tonight I sit down with Marty Strong—retired Navy SEAL, CEO, investor, board member, novelist and leadership author—for a conversation that goes far beyond credentials. We’ll talk about the winding path that takes him from a difficult childhood in Nebraska and Japan into the SEAL Teams, how a couple of seemingly small moments change the course of his life, and what it is like to spend twenty years inside one of the world's most demanding military communities. Marty shares hard-earned insight on merit, identity, purpose and the challenge of rebuilding yourself after leaving a mission-driven life behind. We’ll also get into the deeply personal side of his story: losing his oldest son, surviving cancer twice and learning how resilience is formed in real life—not in slogans. It's an honest, wide-ranging discussion about service, suffering, reinvention and what it really means to lead when life gets hard.

The Preparedness Calendar: Hunting, Fishing, Farming & Living Well | Wednesdays with Wayne
On this week’s Wednesdays with Wayne, Wayne and I covered what practical preparedness looks like when it’s lived out as a full calendar year—not just talked about in theory. Wayne walked me through his seasonal rhythm of steelhead, salmon, halibut, elk, deer, crabbing, gardening, beekeeping, canning, smoking fish and building out the farm one project at a time. We also got into the real economics behind that lifestyle: how much food can be harvested, preserved, traded or gifted, and why skills, self-reliance and community still matter. From salmon in the smoker to honey in the kitchen to elk in the freezer, it's about making the most of what you have and what you can produce. We also talked about my own 1/16-acre farm progress—basil, peppers, tomatoes, garlic, seedlings and future fig trees—and Wayne shared practical advice on protecting young plants from heavy rain, collecting water and planning for bigger systems like greenhouse ventilation and food storage. Along the way, we reflected on gratitude, bartering, generosity, hard seasons and the kind of life built through useful knowledge, good friends and steady effort. This one was equal parts preparedness, homesteading, hunting, encouragement and, as always, plenty of laughter.

What Is Homeopathy, Really? | Abby Beale
What exactly is homeopathy, how is it supposed to work, and why do people continue using it despite skepticism from conventional medicine? Certified classical homeopath and Homeopathy Primer lead author Abby Beale joins Joe to explain how an experience with her son's recurring ear infections led her into homeopathy, what those familiar little pellets actually contain, how remedies are selected, what training and certification look like, and where she believes homeopathy belongs alongside conventional medical care. Joe and Abby also discuss Arnica, self-care, the limits of treating yourself, when it's time to see a medical professional, and the criticism homeopathy receives from mainstream medicine. Whether you're convinced, skeptical, or somewhere in between, this conversation offers a chance to hear the case for homeopathy directly—and consider the evidence and questions for yourself.

When God Meets You in the Fire | Daniel 3 Bible Study
In Daniel chapter 3, Nebuchadnezzar commands the people of Babylon to bow before his golden image—but Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refuse, even when obedience to God means facing the fiery furnace. In Part 6 of our study through Daniel, we examine the idolatry and prophetic imagery surrounding Nebuchadnezzar's decree, the courage of three men who would not bow, and the appearance of the fourth man in the fire. But this chapter also teaches a powerful lesson for the Christian life: God does not promise to keep us from every fire, but He does promise that we will not face those fires alone. Sometimes the very thing meant to destroy us burns away the bonds that were holding us. We also consider the often-asked question of where Daniel was during these events, why every believer has weaknesses, and why the answer to past failure isn't remaining a spectator—it's getting back in the game.

From Outsider to Fantasy Author: J.M. Shaw on Autism, Creativity & Belonging
Fantasy author J.M. Shaw joins Joe for a candid and often hilarious conversation about creativity, neurodivergence, storytelling and finding where you belong. Shaw shares how being diagnosed with autism and ADHD in 2019 helped her reframe traits she once struggled with as creative strengths, why writing became a way to understand both herself and other people, and how decades of private storytelling eventually became published work. They explore what separates writers from people who only talk about writing, why believable characters need flaws, the role of family and nature in her creative process, building fantasy worlds around real human emotions, the importance of accepting imperfection, why “write what you know” may be terrible advice, and why aspiring writers sometimes simply have to risk hearing that their work sucks. Along the way, Joe and J.M. detour through bell bottoms, man buns, Canadian cowboys, Johnny Cash, cheesy old movies and the dangers of writing a chapter your husband can't put down. It's a funny, thoughtful conversation about writing your own script, finding your people and creating something before fear convinces you not to try. Guest: J.M. Shaw J.M.

Has America’s Republic Been Hijacked? | Kevin Dolan & Peter Calfee
In this episode, I sat down with Peter H. Calfee and J. Kevin Dolan, co-authors of Hijacked: Our Republic, Unless We Can Save It, for a wide-ranging conversation about whether the American republic is being slowly redirected by a loss of critical thinking, historical understanding, and moral clarity. We talked about the core pillars of their book—critical thinking, education, religion/faith/values, history, political systems, and economic systems—and why they believe societies unravel gradually when citizens stop questioning what they are told. From Thomas Paine and the Founding era to Rousseau, Orwell, Thomas Sowell, and Ray Dalio, this discussion kept returning to one central idea: a free people have to think for themselves if they expect to remain free. We also dug into education, parental responsibility, competition in schooling, the corruption of history, the dangers of dependency on government, and the difference between systems that create liberty versus systems that centralize control. What stayed with me most was the reminder that protecting a republic is not somebody else’s job. It starts with ordinary citizens who are willing to read, question, debate honestly, and stay engaged rather than surrender their judgment to institutions, experts, or political tribes. Whether you agree with every conclusion or not, this is a conversation about responsibility, civic courage, and the discipline of doing your own thinking. Guests: J. Kevin Dolan & Peter H.

Satan Exposed: The Power Behind the Antichrist | Daniel 7 Bible Study
In this Sunday Bible Study, Joe continues through Daniel 7 with a closer look at Satan, the spiritual power behind the coming Antichrist. Beginning in Revelation 12 and moving through Ezekiel, Isaiah, Job and other passages, Joe examines Satan's origin, his rebellion against God, the biblical imagery of the dragon and Leviathan, and the seven kingdoms that lead toward the prophetic events described in Daniel and Revelation. The study also explores the unholy trinity of Satan, the Antichrist and the false prophet, the ten horns of prophecy, and how the world's systems reflect a continuing movement toward the conditions in which the Antichrist will ultimately appear. The study takes an unexpected detour into government, education, personal responsibility and modern society before returning to the larger prophetic picture—and sets the stage for a closer examination of the Antichrist in a future study.

Can AI Become Wise? | Brad C. Anderson
Science fiction author, educator and former biotechnology professor Brad C. Anderson joins Joe for a conversation that begins with his latest novel, Ashme’s Song, and quickly ventures into much bigger questions about artificial intelligence, creativity, consciousness, wisdom and what it means to be human. Brad explains why he writes flawed, ordinary people facing extraordinary choices, how science fiction allows us to explore the question “What if?”, whether AI can truly create rather than imitate, and why intelligence and knowledge aren't necessarily the same thing as wisdom. Joe also shares his own increasingly strange experiences interacting with ChatGPT, leading to a fascinating discussion about self-awareness, humor, human experience and whether machines could ever become something more than tools. Along the way, Brad discusses storytelling, leadership, the surprising ways science fiction anticipates technological change, the ideas behind Ashme’s Song, and why understanding another person's perspective can make hatred much harder.

Wayne is deep into harvest season, and this week that means honey, hunting, homegrown food—and a whole lot of beets. On this edition of Wednesdays with Wayne, Joe and the Practical Prepper talk farming, wild game, food preservation, growing beets and making beet powder, inexpensive raised garden beds, self-reliance, power outages and practical household preparedness. Through it all, Wayne comes back to one simple principle: “If you're not aware, you can't prepare.” It's another down-to-earth conversation about growing what you can, learning useful skills and thinking ahead without living in fear.

Daniel 7: The Four Beasts and the Coming Antichrist | Sunday Bible Study
Daniel 7 contains one of the Bible's most fascinating prophetic visions: four beasts rising from the sea, a terrifying fourth beast with ten horns, and a prophetic picture that connects directly with Nebuchadnezzar's dream in Daniel Chapter 2. In this Sunday Bible Study, Joe examines Daniel 7 alongside Daniel 2, explores the lion, bear, leopard, and fourth beast, and follows the biblical connections to Revelation 13 and Revelation 17. The study considers the kingdoms represented by these prophetic symbols, the ten horns and ten kings, the coming Antichrist, and the spirit of Antichrist already at work in the world. Joe also explores possible secondary applications of Daniel's vision to England, Russia, the United States, and the latter days while clearly distinguishing biblical interpretation from speculation. Open your King James Bible to Daniel Chapter 7 as we compare Scripture with Scripture and continue our study of biblical prophecy, the end times, and God's plan for the kingdoms of this world.

Revolutions rarely happen without warning—but how can you tell the difference between ordinary political anger and the warning signs of something more serious?

Preparedness in Action: Game Processing, Land Management, and Garden Plans
What does real preparedness actually look like? This week on Wednesdays with Wayne, Wayne Rankin returns to The Joe Rooz Show for a wide-ranging conversation about putting practical preparedness into action. Wayne shares the story of Rosanna harvesting her first deer with a bow, what it takes to process and preserve wild game, and how hunting fits into a larger self-reliant lifestyle. From there, the conversation moves through food storage, fishing, foraging, propane, equipment, firearms, forestry, logging and managing the natural resources available on the property. Wayne also takes us into the woods, where Rosanna demonstrates some of the forestry work underway on the property and explains how removing overcrowded and unhealthy trees can open the forest floor, reduce hazards and create opportunities for new growth. It’s a wild, funny and practical hour that illustrates one of the central ideas behind Wednesdays with Wayne: preparedness isn't simply about buying supplies and putting them on a shelf. It's about developing the skills, knowledge and experience to produce, repair, harvest, preserve and adapt when circumstances demand it.

When Life Doesn't Go According to Plan | Linda Plunkett
What happens when someone who has spent years helping other people suddenly becomes the one searching for hope? Linda Plunkett spent nearly two decades counseling others and helping people through difficult seasons of life. Then her own life changed dramatically when doctors discovered a tennis-ball-sized tumor in her frontal lobe. Following brain surgery, Linda faced chronic pain, fibromyalgia, seizures, memory problems and periods when she wasn't sure what her future would look like. Along the way, she also confronted difficult questions about faith, suffering, fear and what it means to trust God when prayers aren't answered the way we expect. In this conversation with Joe, Linda shares how becoming a patient changed her perspective as a counselor, why she believes we should be careful about judging struggles we cannot see, and how adversity forced her to wrestle honestly with her Christian faith. They also discuss the importance of seeking appropriate medical opinions and options, the relationship between body, mind and spirit, forgiveness, boundaries, anxiety, unanswered prayer and learning to live with circumstances we never planned for.

Daniel 2: The Kingdom That Will Never Be Destroyed | Sunday Bible Study
What did Nebuchadnezzar's mysterious image reveal about the future of human kingdoms—and what is the meaning of the stone “cut out without hands”? In this continuation of Daniel Chapter 2, Joe returns to Nebuchadnezzar's prophetic dream and examines the succession of kingdoms represented by gold, silver, brass, iron, and finally the strange mixture of iron and clay. The study takes a closer look at Daniel 2:43 and the mysterious statement that “they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men,” comparing the passage with other portions of Scripture while clearly distinguishing biblical text from interpretation and speculation. But the central message of Daniel 2 isn't speculation. It is hope. Daniel tells Nebuchadnezzar that the kingdoms of men will ultimately give way to a Kingdom established by God—a Kingdom that will never be destroyed. The stone cut out without hands becomes the focus of the study as Joe examines its connection to Jesus Christ and His coming Kingdom, along with Isaiah's description of a world transformed under His rule. The chapter concludes with Nebuchadnezzar acknowledging Daniel's God as “a God of gods, and a Lord of kings,” while raising another important question: Who is truly worthy of worship?

When Life Breaks You: How to Rebuild | Jon McLernon
What happens when the life you've built suddenly falls apart? Jon McLernon has survived a brutal assault, PTSD, financial collapse, major weight struggles, betrayal, and years of physical recovery. Along the way, he was forced to confront some difficult questions about identity, faith, forgiveness—and what it really means to start over. Tonight, Jon joins Joe for a deeply personal conversation about rebuilding after trauma, learning self-compassion, separating forgiveness from reconciliation, and discovering who you are when the things you once depended on are stripped away. Jon is a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, creator of the NeuroQuit Method, and host of the Between the Before & After podcast. Sometimes rebuilding your life isn't about returning to who you were. It's about discovering who you're becoming.

Harvest, Store & Prepare: Building Real Self-Reliance | Wednesdays with Wayne
Preparedness doesn't begin when an emergency happens. It begins with what you're doing today. Wayne Rankin—the Practical Prepper—returns for Wednesdays with Wayne with a look at harvest season and the everyday skills that build real self-reliance. Wayne and Joe talk about harvesting and preserving food, storing emergency water, filtration, expanding the garden, hunting and filling the freezer, and turning harvested timber into usable lumber for future projects. We also hear from Rosanna Rankin, who takes us into the garden to demonstrate harvesting rhubarb and explains several ways it can be preserved and used. Underneath it all is a simple idea: preparedness isn't about panic. It's about developing skills, using what you have, and taking responsibility before you need to.

Why We Sabotage Our Own Success | Dr. Albert Bramante
Why do talented, capable people sometimes become their own biggest obstacle? Dr. Albert Bramante has spent more than two decades in the entertainment industry as a talent agent while studying the psychology behind self-defeating behavior. He joins Joe Rooz for a conversation about self-sabotage, procrastination, fear of failure—and even fear of success. Albert explains why self-sabotage can function as a protective mechanism, how success can threaten our identity and relationships, and why chronic procrastination may point to something deeper than poor time management. They also discuss lessons Albert learned representing actors, the importance of preparation without becoming scripted, surrounding yourself with the right people, and his practical “Happy File” technique for fighting those inevitable moments of self-doubt.

Daniel 2: Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream and the Kingdoms of Men
In this Sunday Bible study, I continued our walk through Daniel by focusing on Daniel chapter 2 and Nebuchadnezzar’s forgotten dream. We looked at the impossible demand placed on Babylon’s wise men, Daniel’s decision to seek God in prayer with Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, and the humility Daniel showed when God revealed both the dream and its interpretation. One of the clearest takeaways in this passage is that when human wisdom runs out, God is still able to reveal what no man can know on his own. From there, I worked through the image in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream as a prophetic outline of successive kingdoms—Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome, and the final iron-and-clay phase still tied to the end times. We also touched on related passages in Proverbs, Genesis, Job, and Revelation, along with some of the more difficult prophetic questions raised by the text. Beneath all of that was the central reminder of the study: every kingdom of men has an expiration date, but the stone cut without hands points to Jesus Christ and the everlasting kingdom that will never be destroyed.
