  • We must DISconnect to REconnect

    Make sure to catch our youtube channel for the video portion of this episode, as we take moment to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of a life that demands so much of our time and attention. If you're like me, at every turn there's a bell, or ding representing a text message, social media notification, or email that screams OPEN ME NOW! Ever reminisce or wonder what you d feel if you just disconnected from it all to focus on what's important? Well, that's exactly what I do in this episode. Share with you a few moments of the sounds and music of quiet contemplation. Let this serve as a reminder to unplug from distractions, and diversions keeping you from reaching your full potential and purpose. As our world becomes increasingly more connected via technology and more disconnected from family, friends, and relationships that matter. Research continually supports the necessity to engage technology with caution and spend more time relating to those closest to us.

  • Are the foundations of your faith, faithful? Part 3

    As we conclude the final chapter of our trilogy on faith, Rod Myers summarizes the key take-a-ways from the prior two episodes, and draws toward a conclusion encouraging you to consider your faith, why you believe what you believe, and to address those areas within your faith that do not make sense. Brother Myers suggests that you find someone you trust to partner with you in exploring the tenets of your faith, to read those books that represent the source of your faith, and finally, to consider Jesus and the Bible, which has withstood immense scrutiny throughout mankind's history.

    We are grateful to Brother Rod Myers for his willingness to spend time hosting our program in an effort to share with our audience his teachings, and his passion for his faith. He continues to be a servant leader working to educate and illuminate people all over the world to consider Christ.


    May God Bless!

  • Are the Foundations of your Faith, faithful? Part 2

    Guest Host Rod Myers continues his conversation on the framework of Faith, and if you tuned in to the last episode, he laid the first pillar of faith for us all to consider. Rod's discussion on such a sensitive topic is a masterclass on how to objectively, openly, and empathetically have a healthy discourse on hot topics. Rod takes us to step by step on how to consider what we consider faith, as well as WHO we have faith in, and whether or not we are practicing good or bad faith. Faith is based on a belief system and encourages the listener to determine which system is the basis of their faith. Unapologetically Christian, Rod informs the listener that elements of his own bias may seep into the conversation, which is the hallmark of an authentic, ethical leader in recognition of the framework from which they believe. Congratulations to those who embrace this subject matter with humility and courage to consider the poignant points discussed throughout this series. Each episode builds upon the previous episode and leads to a summation that will have you looking at the foundations of your faith in a brand-new light.

  • Are the foundations of your faith faithful? Part 1

    We begin our first-ever three-part series on faith with Retired Minister & Evangelist Rod Myers of Sarasota, Florida. Rod steps in as guest host for the next three weeks with an informative, enlightening, and engaging conversation about the foundation of faith, which is an open, honest, and educational reflection on something we all have...faith! Yes, even those who claim they believe in nothing, are espousing a faith. Mr. Myers has spent 52 years as a servant leader sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ across the world. He has been actively involved in mission work in Haiti, Kenya, and several other countries in the world. Throughout this series, Rod challenges you to consider the tenets of your faith, ask yourself why you believe what you believe, and examine the foundations of your faith. He carefully crafts a conversation that is inviting, and open, but, most of all, one that is easy to embrace. I met Bro. Myers over 30 years ago, I was a young Airman at the time who started attending the Boca-Delray church of Christ, Rod and his family enveloped us with warmth and grace that is sorely lacking today. One could say it was a somewhat special congregation of people. When the idea of doing a worship/religious/spiritual series, I could think of no one I respected more to present to our audience than Rod Myers.

    So, I hope you'll stay for the entire series, and share each episode with your friends and family. Make sure to like and subscribe to not only our podcast but, our youtube channel as well.

    May God's Grace cover you.
