Before you sign a contract or pay a publishing company, make sure you understand what you're getting into.
Tonight, Joe welcomes Michele DeFilippo, founder of 1106 Design, for a practical discussion about traditional publishing, self-publishing, and hybrid publishing—and the costly mistakes aspiring authors should avoid. Michele explains publishing contracts, ISBN ownership, royalties, upfront fees, and how platforms such as Amazon KDP and IngramSpark fit into the process.
They also explore the importance of professional editing and book design, the risks of cutting corners during production, and how artificial intelligence is changing the publishing landscape.

In this episode of The Joe Rooz Show Sunday Bible Study, we continue our journey through the Book of Daniel with chapter 5 and the dramatic account of Belshazzar's feast, the handwriting on the wall, and the fall of Babylon.
While the king celebrates behind seemingly impenetrable walls, judgment is already approaching. We examine the arrogance of mocking the things of God, the dangers of spiritual complacency and false security, and Daniel's courageous refusal to compromise his convictions for worldly rewards.
What does it mean to be weighed in the balances and found wanting?
How do we recognize the spiritual dangers around us, protect our families, and remain grounded in the word of God?
From the downfall of an ancient empire to the challenges facing believers today, Daniel 5 reminds us that earthly power is temporary, God's warnings must never be ignored, and the Lord remains sovereign over the rise and fall of kingdoms.

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.

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.

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.

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.
