Kingdom Crossroads Podcast With Pastor Robert Thibodeau

End-Time Surprises Dr. Richard Ruhling pt 1 As we witness tensions continue to escalate across the Middle East, many people are starting to wonder, “Are these the end times as described in the Bible?”  You’ve heard me interview many people on this topic and, almost to a person – the answer is “YES.” Now, on the topic of “WHEN” – they begin to differ. But the main point is – WE ARE ALREADY in the end times. We see Israel at war with Hamas – and instead of supporting Israel’s right to defend itself and eliminate the threat from within their borders forever, the world is condemning Israel. Some even condone the attacks of October 7thsaying “Hamas was defending itself against Israel aggression.” Add in the Huthi rebels threatening international shipping and the United States trying to defend the ships by attacking the Iranian backed rebels… Add in the recent drone attacks by Iranian backed militia in Jordan.  This was identified several months ago by President Biden and the Defense Department as a “red line” tha

Surviving the First Five Minutes of a School Shooting Daniel Dluzneski pt 2 We have all seen the news reports of active shootings taking place in schools, businesses and things like that. We have all watched as parents grieve and people ask, “Why?” “Why did this happen?” “What could have been done differently?” We all remember Columbine… it was after that event that “active shooter” training started to be taught to law enforcement. I had to go through it as a police officer. I prayed I would never need to use it… but I was ready if it ever took place. You don’t have time for S.W.A.T. in most cases.  In fact, you don’t really have time for the police to arrive before you take some kind of action.  This is now taught to churches, businesses and schools across the country. At the first indication of an active shooter, the first five minutes are the most important for your survival and those you love and care about. If you do the right thing in those first few minutes, your chances of survival jump immensely. Re

A Spoonful of Courage Dr. Charles Page pt 2 In this day and age in which we live, medical advancements are coming on us a rapid pace. Faster and more detailed.  Because of this, medical facilities run sort of a “production line” of people in and out of the offices and hospitals. Gone are the days when doctors actually “knew ”their patients.  And the patients trusted the doctor because they believed he understood them and did not treat them as line item on a spreadsheet. Now, there are doctors out there that do have those kinds of relationships with their patients. I’ve been fortunate to find one where I live that I’ve been with for 20+ years. Amen. Our guest today is one that has made it his specialty to treat his patients with kindness, respect and dignity. If I lived in East Texas – HE would be my doctor. Praise God. Dr. Charles Page has been practicing surgery for over 25 years and has journeyed with thousands of patients. He is also the author of “A Spoonful of Courage for the Sick and Suffering” – which

Who is the God of Israel? TS Wright Scott Wright is back with us today. Scott has been teaching us about the different ages of the Church and significant things the Bible and history has to say about them. Amen. Today, we will be answering the question, “Who do the Israelites believe God truly is?” To do that, help me welcome back to the program, our good friend, Scott Wright!  Scott, good to talk to you again, buddy! Alright, let’s jump into this… Doesn’t every good Jewish person believe God is the God of Moses? What do they believe about God? Didn’t Moses reflect God to the people of Israel?  You’d think they would have a pretty good grasp on these things, right? Do think the Israelites just took their relationship with God for granted? Why is all of this relevant to what we see happening today?  Especially in the war between Israel and Hamas right now? What should we, as Christians, take from this discussion today? Scott, this has been so interesting as we discuss the current situation over in Israel. If s

Veterans Success Club Joe O’ConnorAt the age of 14 Joe O’Connor was involved in a serious near fatal road incident that left him in a wheelchair for a year. Undaunted, Joe resumed his life and achieved things he was told were not physically possible.Then at the age of 37 whilst on selection with the UK’s Elite Special Forces (S.A.S.), He was blown off a mountain ridge during a military training exercise, falling some 400 feet, breaking his neck, leading to two spinal injury specialists determining a prognosis of lifelong paralysis.One thing Joe recognized, is these experiences presented him with an opportunity to choose how his life would pan out and, on both occasions, he chose to move forward using each incident as his guide to achieve greater success. He refused to accept what fate seemed to have handed him. On both occasions he made a conscious decision to improvise, adapt and overcome and, in doing so, transformed his life.Joe holds the personal proof that every single pivotal moment in your life, gives

From Genesis to Revelation  Michael McPadden pt 2 If you are like me, when I first started reading the Bible, I flipped it open to Genesis Chapter 1 and started from there. That’s how we were taught to read, right? From front to back. If you are like me, I made it through the first couple of books of the Bible and soon was “lost.” And when I got to Numbers… I was completely confused. When I finally made it to the New Testament, it seemed to make a little bit more sense… but still, it seemed like a bunch of things that were just tossed together, mixed up and then piecemealed into a book. I get that. It was a few years before I realized I was reading the Bible the wrong way.  Maybe that is where you are now, today. Or you have come to that realization as well.

A Man Like You and Me Paul Joel pt 2 Are you ready to understand Love on a deeper level? Do you have a desire to understand what True Love really means? Jesus shared this understanding of love through storytelling. He used parables in his sermons to convey true, real world scenarios and how God’s Love can transcend all the devil puts in your path. In keeping with that kind of storytelling passion, our guest today has written a Love Story that that conveys the deep meaning of God’s Love while at the same time, making real to the readers. Making it real to us. Making it real is what makes it, well “real!” Amen! Paul Joel is board certified Pulmonary and Internal Medicine physician in New York.  He had his career, his wife, his faith. Born again in 1982, all was going well with his life, until March of 2019. He was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Encephalitis.

Increase Your Influence Trudy Beerman In today’s society, money is often the focus of, well – everything!  Even if you do not want to focus on money – the fact you are trying NOT to focus on money has you focused on money! Amen!  Don’t shout me down when I’m preaching good. Our guest today helps people to shift their focus from money (which has become their god) to becoming focused on THE GOD who gives them the money! Amen! Money is not “the root of all evil” as some claim.  But scripture is very specific in 1 Timothy 6:10 that says, “THE LOVE of money is the root of all evil.”  The key is to “root out the evil” and then all your left with is the money! Amen!  Then you can do what God has called you do with that money. Praise God! Trudy Beerman is our guest today. Trudy was on way, way back in 2018.  Episode number 216 I believe.
