Eds monologue was captioned the Death of the Democratic Party. I prefer to refer to it as the glorious passing of a nasty bowel movement!

The radical democrats killed their own party. They need wellness checks on Dems who are showing severe mental instability.

CNN and Wallstreet polls reported this week that over 4 million former democrats have switched parties. They have decided to no longer believe what their party believes in…favoring and protecting illegals over legal citizens, a party who favors chaos over law and order, are protesting actions in DC to reduce crime and clean up the nations capital.

Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, cut her DNI department by 40%, eliminating Intelligence staff, that were politicized deep state actors and weaponized departments.

DNI continues to expose bad actors that hid behind Top Secret Classifications to coverup Russiagate…including Obamas role.

Cancelled 37 security clearances mostly unfamiliar names…backstage operators, leakers, propagandist, Russian gate Promoters, etc.

An appellate court has thrown out the $500 million civil fraud penalty against former President Donald Trump in the high-profile case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James.

Adam Schiff, Letitia James and another gal (I think she’s a DA), are under investigation of Mortgage Fraud!

Over 700 arrested in the DC cleanup in one week. 91 illegal guns were taken off the streets. 0 homicides over last 8 days in a row as of Friday. Car jacking down 80%.

Mark do you know the average age of a typical car jacker? It’s 14 years old. Do you see anything back asswards with this stat? How about two years from being allowed to acquire a drivers license permit…to practice driving with mommy and daddy in an empty parking lot!

Here’s another observation…the majority of those caught are armed! A 14 year old with a gun! Isn’t that against the law? Why is this so? Any guesses? They are 14 because the gang they are working for know that these young soldiers can’t go to jail until they’re 16!

Meanwhile, government representatives continue to speak out and against illegal immigration deportations. Assaults on ICE agents has increased 1000% since Trump executed his deportation plan.

Update on the Auto Pen scandal:

Former Senior Biden aide, sr spokesperson, Ian Sams, revealed he only met with Biden twice over a period of 2 years according to James Comer. This could lead to over turning the auto pen pardons. We still don’t know who the wizard behind the curtain was!

Rick Scott out of FL is opening a Senate investigation on Gavin Newsom’s handling or lack of handling the Palisades fire in LA. 660 structure destroyed. Gavin promised to rebuild. Rick Scott is stepping up to address the lack of action.

Rick Scott as you know dealt with many natural disasters in FL so this guy knows how to get things done. I guarantee you he will BBQ Gavin with his findings.

Early morning FBI raid on John Bolton’s house occurred Friday. For the record, the left and many on the right are calling this retaliation, but I prefer a reckoning … finally it’s judgement day … for those that are warmonger’s, classified leakers and activist non-patriots, who thought they were above the law.

Corruption IS BEING rooted out!

I think this is awesome news!!

Many are saying that what we've witnessed over the last 200 days of Trumps Presidency is nothing short of unprecedented, historical performance of any presidency in our lifetime.

Join us today for a quick recap of many of Trumps accomplishments over the past seven months that have significantly influenced American politics, American media, education, law and order, global alliances, global cooperation and global peace.

It's truly amazing to ponder the accomplishments of a true visionary leader that understands how to bring people of all creeds and faith, nations both close and distant to the table of common sense and rational discussion.

Last week I put a short show together asking you, our listeners, for some feedback on our podcast. As I mentioned in that episode, Mark and I launched One Day Closer officially in October 2022…under the call of Ezekiel 33, where we learned the importance of the call to become a Watchmen of the Wall. Which is to say, be engaged with Life. If you see danger on the horizon, sound the alarm! “Danger Will Robinson!” As you may recall, that season of time, Joe Biden’s term as Commander in Chief was fraught with danger signs, from gender confusion, government policies that were counter to the core tenets of Americas founding.

Everything was upside down! Pronouns were more important than merit. Wide open borders without any attempt to Vet the incoming was a manufactured coup for redistricting and future voter fraud.

Chaos was the mantra. The crazier the assault or policy only opened another door for more chaos. It started with Drag Queen story hour at our pre-K schools. Which called into question ones gender, then rules about honoring ones pronouns and their identity. If you identified as a cat, the schools brought in litter boxes to support your delusion.

Gender confusion was all the rage and parents couldn’t wait to forever change their son or daughters gender so that they (the parents) could boost about how woke they were.

Point is, there was a lot to call out and expose during Biden’s term, a season when watchmen were sorely needed but were in short supply or afraid to speak out.

In the show prior, episode 265 entitled “And May God Rest His Soul”, I shared a story about Jesus’ yoke supposedly being an “easy one.” If you didn’t get a chance to listen to that show, I suggest you do so, especially if you are finding little “rest” in this journey we call “life.”

What I did manage to point out in that story, is that by taking up Christs yoke…strapping into his yoke does two things.

It requires that we bring our burdens to him, which engages both our trust and faith in Him…PLUS…it suggest that to be yoked together with him means we are able to walk side by side, shoulder to shoulder with Christ on the journey!

So this very topic came up this past Saturday at our men’s group. We were talking about how difficult surrendering and trusting can be sometimes…and one guy said…”yeah but how do you do that?

There were a lot of thoughts shared by other brothers, examples of how they handled something in the past or a testimony of how God answered their prayers, etc., etc., but I could tell the guy wasn’t satisfied with the advice. It appeared to me that he didn’t need a testimony but rather a visual. So I gave him one.

Imagine you have taken Christs invite and surrendered your burdens to Him. You’ve even gone so far as to trust Him with both the load and the outcome. AND you have submitted to locking the empty yoke collar to your neck. You are now side by side, shoulder to shoulder with Christ.

But when the collar gets tight on your neck or you feel like your pulling harder that Christ…maybe you are getting ahead of Christ? If you slow down, accept Gods pace over yours, the collar comes back into balance…equally distributed…to the point where you can’t even feel it.

Maybe that’s where you are suppose to be….not trying to get ahead of God…or pulling God…and not lagging behind either…but side by side, shoulder to shoulder.

Maybe that’s where peace, joy and rest fit into the equation. This is where Christ is. When you can’t feel the yoke at all, no pressures, your side of the yoke is aligned with Christ side…shoulders are square. I believe this is where the peace, joy and rest lives.

His pace is the right pace.

What’s the meaning behind our shows Title…One Day Closer?

The simple answer is…Everyday we wake up with breath, we are all one day closer to either finishing our race here on earth, well or poorly. Not to sound morbid, but none of us are guaranteed our next day or our next breath here on Earth. Our bodies and our internal workings are an amazing self-contained tapestry of Gods handiwork.

Some of us treat our bodies pretty rough, especially when we are younger. Consider the athletes, soldiers, body builders, laborers, construction workers. These guys and gals push their bodies to the limit…and like a good old Timex watch…they keep ticking.

And on the bright side of things, as we make new resolutions, plan out our goals and desires for the new year, we are also one day closer to realizing our dreams, hopes, finding that right girl or guy to spend the rest of your life with, one day closer to prayers being answered and blessings and goals being realized.

So why One Day Closer you ask? Because whatever you have going on…when you wake up in the morning, you are indeed One Day Closer of being finished…whether the tasks at hand are completed or not.

Our hope and suggestion by the way, would be to lock down your future enteral destiny done FIRST. While there’s still time, choose Jesus. You’ll never have to worry about “what if I get cancer, what if I get hit by a bus tomorrow or what if my heart stops working properly.” None of that matters once you have your salvation / relationship with God right. Everyday afterwards, becomes a blessing, a gift and a calling!

What our tag line means

“To Rekindle a spirit of hope and truth into the crazy discussion of the day.”

Why? So that we can all be WHAT our families, friends and total strangers need us to be…a voice of reason, hope and light in a dark world. A voice that was unafraid to introduce a biblical perspective to the crazy news stories of the day.

We were solely attempting to fulfill the calling of Philippians 2:15 - “so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world,”

We started this podcast in October of 2022. We felt millions of Americans (both parents and students) were loosing hope…were struggling with all the lies the administration was feeding us.

We both felt it was time to inject biblical interpretation and perspective into the crazy discussions of the day.

When we got wind of the battle over gender ideology (Erin’s story), drag queen story hour and gender affirming care initiatives, we spoke back to the darkness and called out the stupid.

Our objective was simple. Help others snap out of the Covid fog of war, wake up from woke deception and find their voice and reason for common sense. We felt it was time to expose that the monkeys had taken over the zoo…and something had to be done.

And our closing reminders:

“Take a breath, Keep the Faith , Get in the Word…We all have a job to do, until we don’t.”

Mark and I believe two basic premises: Salvation is message ONE and is available to all who call on God and it is a requirement to enter eternal peace.

Secondarily, we all have a job to do, responsibilities with accountability, POST-Salvation!

It’s not “works towards salvation” but works of service Post-salvation out of compassion for others and a purpose driven life with meaning and measure.

If you are a faithful listener to this podcast, you are well aware of the topics we attempt to cover, WITH a keen Biblical Perspective in mind to helps us navigate WAYS FORWARD that might make our world a little better place.

We cover current events, politics, game changing news stories (like the Hama’s attack against Israel, Trumps courageous and bold American Air Power assistance to Israel against Iran’s nuclear weapon campaign), exposing government corruption, and Trumps accomplishments over the past 6 months.

We also talk about the strengths and dangers of Artificial Intelligence, cultural upheaval, riots and stupidity from our high institutions of learning, AND we also dive deep into Bible scriptures that we hope will help listeners that are struggling with lose, depression, anxiety, fear, lack of joy…vision or purpose.

In our early days during Biden’s term, Mark and I were driven by the call in Ezekiel to be Watchmen on the Wall…to call out things that were simply jacked up and extremely dangerous if left unaddressed. Topics like Trans-gender ideology, Drag Queen story hours in our schools, Media derangement syndrome, the corination of Kamala once it became clear that Joe was fading faster that the ice cream in his cone.

Along the way, we have asked our listeners for feedback, counter viewpoints, and new show ideas…SO THAT…we could bring TOPICS MOST DESIRED BY YOU OUR LISTENERS to the fore.

We are asking you for feedback. Seriously. What do you like best about our show? What do you like least? Are the Bible studies on a topic of value…too long…too short? What other topics would you like us to cover?

You can also send us an email if you have more to say that the SEND A TEXT feature offers. Our email is odc22@proton.me.

And as long as I’m on the topic of house-keeping…I have an announcement to make. As you know, we have been posting two shows every week, dropping new episodes every Monday and Friday. Mark liked the thought of “book-ending” your week. But this summer, Marks business has taken off like an Elon Rocket and he has been too busy to contribute much to the show ideas, prep, recording and the like…leaving me to carry on.

Which is why I’m reaching out for feedback and interests. Preparing two new shows every week requires a massive amount of think time, research time, recording and finally editing time for each show. That said, and after running it by Mark, we have decided to cut our weekly output in half…and plan to release one episode a week, probably on hump day, Wednesday. This allows us to catch news at the front or back of any given week, keeping our content fresh at the time it is played.

So…if you haven’t already set up your podcast player (either Apple or Spotify or wherever you get your podcast,) with NOTIFICATION, you might want to do this. By setting that up, you’ll never miss being advised that we dropped a new show.

It is NOT our intent to phase this show out…BUT to STRENGTHEN it. Not to boost, but rather to simply keep you in the loop, One Day Closer has nearly doubled our global countries list from 29 to 51 countries just in the last 6 months! And we doubled the number of cities listening from 256 in January to 512 cities! So we are growing, thanks to you our listeners and Gods favor…as all our growth is organic.

We do have both an Instagram and X account but simply don’t have the time or insight as to how to post our shows there…so if you are so inclined, feel free to share our shows to your or to our feeds. Maybe together we can reach those in need of a lift, a different perspective or some good old fashion Bible teaching to help them through them week.

Is it just me, or have you ever attended a funeral and just before they begin to lower the casket into the ground, the Pastor says something in closing similar to this…”and may God rest his Soul.” Is it just me or have you ever thought that was kind of a weird thing to say. The typical thinking or association with this phrase, is that once our loved one is dead, gone and buried…then and only then will they have “rest for their Soul.”

The truth is, their Soul, their Spirit is no where to be found at this stage of the proceedings. Their Spirit or their Soul if you will, left this earth along with their last breath. A more accurate parting statement would have been, “God rest his weary bones.”

This misunderstanding or misuse of the phrase lead me to ask a few basic questions. Can we have rest for our Soul WHILE we are still alive? Isn’t that WHEN we need peace, comfort, reassurance and rest…during our time here on earth? I believe the answer to both these questions is a resounding yes!

But I wanted to make sure, so I launched a little study into this topic on the Soul using the YouVersion Bible app I mentioned the other day in our Therapist show, episode 263. Within the app, I found several mini studies on the topic of the Soul and on The Spirit, that Christ promised to send to all of us upon his departure. There’s a reason why Christ did so. Because the Holy Spirit is our Comforter, Counselor, Strengthener, Revealer of the Scriptures, Convincer of sin, Caller of ministers and our Intercessor in prayer. These are things we need DURING LIFE…NOT AFTERWARDS.

So one of the series that I found worthy of sharing was called “Soul Care.” It’s in the YouVersion app but you can also find it and other contributions at www.whoisgrace.com/read.

The Soul is the most important dimension of you. Your soul is the real you. In fact, Jesus claimed that there is nothing more important. “What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and yet lose his very soul?” (Mark 8:36)

According to John 7:38, Jesus has a way to avoid this. “He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’ ””

Not just “refreshing” water…but “living”, regenerative, water.

Jesus’ yoke is an invitation to the life we ache for. A life that can be found only by moving through the world shoulder-to-shoulder with Jesus.

Your soul will be revived as you learn to live your life WITH God.

The Holy Spirit serves as a teacher, counselor, comforter, strengthener, inspiration, revealer of the Scriptures, convincer of sin, caller of ministers and intercessor in prayer.

So to summarize…death is not the rest we are promised…but rather it is the LIFE we LIVE shoulder-to-shoulder, side-by-side with the one Christ left for us to HELP us … the same wonderful, powerful, awesome healing and refreshing Spirit that raised Christ from the dead…IS the SAME SPIRIT THAT DWELLS in US! This is the Soul we want to protect, nurture, fed and cherish.
