The Joe Rooz Show

What would George Washington think if he suddenly returned to America in 2026? Would he recognize the country he helped create—or wonder how far it had drifted from the principles of its founding?
 
Author William Gensburger joins Joe for a wide-ranging conversation inspired by The Path of Duty and Honor, the political thriller he co-authored with bestselling author J.C. Ryan. The novel brings George Washington into modern America and uses fiction to explore questions surrounding the Constitution, civic responsibility, political division, American history, and the future of the country.

But the conversation doesn't stop with Washington.

Joe and William explore America's growing political divide, how history is taught and understood, whether the nation has moved away from its founding ideals, and what earlier generations might make of modern American culture.

They also venture into William's other projects, including The Quantum Keys, an international thriller series built around technology capable of defeating virtually any digital security system, and A Boy Called Swift, a very different story about a child whose entire life unfolds at an extraordinary pace.

The conversation eventually turns to artificial intelligence and the future of writing. William explains how he uses AI as a research and critique tool without allowing it to replace the writer, why human voice still matters, and why technology should support creativity rather than become a substitute for it.

Along the way, Joe and William talk storytelling, quantum technology, publishing, shrinking attention spans, political power, constitutional government, American culture, and why good fiction can sometimes ask questions that nonfiction cannot.


At the center of it all is one deceptively simple question:


If George Washington could see America today, what would he say to us?

After more than six months of studying the Book of Revelation chapter by chapter, we have reached the end.

In this final installment of our study of the Book of Revelation, Joe examines Revelation Chapters 21 and 22 and what Scripture reveals about eternity: the new heaven and new earth, New Jerusalem, the River of Life, the Tree of Life, the end of the curse, and God's eternal dwelling with His people.

Revelation 19 brought us to the conclusion of the Tribulation. Revelation 20 showed us the Millennial Kingdom, Satan's final rebellion, and the Great White Throne Judgment. But Revelation does not end with judgment.

It ends with God making all things new.

What is the New Jerusalem? Why is there no temple within the city? What does the Bible mean when it says there will be no more death, sorrow, crying, or pain? Why does the Tree of Life appear again after first being introduced in Genesis? And how much can we really know about eternity from what God has revealed in Scripture?

Joe explores these questions while also acknowledging the mysteries surrounding Revelation's final chapters and distinguishing between what Scripture states clearly and areas where we can only speculate.

Most importantly, this study brings the entire biblical story full circle. Genesis begins with God and man together in a perfect creation. Sin enters, mankind falls, and everything that follows tells the story of what God does about it. Revelation ends with what was lost restored, what sin corrupted made new, and what death took away replaced with life.

After 22 chapters, Jesus Christ leaves us with one final promise:

“Surely I come quickly.”
And John's answer remains the prayer of every believer:
“Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.”

Join us as we conclude our complete Sunday Bible Study journey through the Book of Revelation.

Life can change in an instant.

For award-winning author and poet Linda Drattell, that change came through two life-altering experiences: losing her hearing as an adult and surviving the 2016 terrorist attack in Nice, France. Rather than allowing those events to define her, she transformed them into stories of resilience, humor, hope, and the courage to remain true to herself.

In this episode Joe and Linda explore the deeper lessons that emerge from adversity, discuss the pressure society places on people to conform, and examine how writing can become a powerful tool for healing and personal growth.

Linda also shares insights into her award-winning poetry, children's literature, and her upcoming satirical novel, The Pecadillos of Philomena Phipps, a story that challenges modern conformity while celebrating individuality.

What happens after the Millennial Kingdom? Who stands before the Great White Throne? Can anyone be saved by their works?


In today's Sunday Bible Study, Joe continues the verse-by-verse journey through the Book of Revelation with one of the most sobering chapters in all of Scripture.


Revelation Chapter 20 reveals Satan's final rebellion, the Battle of Gog and Magog, the resurrection of the unsaved dead, and the Great White Throne Judgment—the final courtroom before eternity begins.


Together we'll examine:


• Satan bound for 1,000 years
 • The Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ
 • Why Satan is released one final time
 • The deception of the nations
 • The Battle of Gog and Magog
 • The First Resurrection vs. the Second Death
 • The Great White Throne Judgment
 • The Book of Life and the Books of Works
 • Why salvation cannot be earned by good deeds
 • The eternal destination of every soul

What makes ordinary people follow dangerous leaders? Why are we fascinated by serial killers? And what can criminal psychology teach us about manipulation, cults, and human nature?

In this thought-provoking episode, bestselling true crime author and syndicated radio host Alan R. Warren joins Joe for a wide-ranging conversation about serial killers, cult leaders, criminal profiling, media fascination with violence, and the psychology behind some of history's most notorious criminals.

Drawing from decades of research and interviews, Alan shares insights into Charles Manson, cult behavior, manipulation, evil, criminal psychology, and why understanding darkness can help us recognize deception in everyday life.

This isn't simply a discussion about crime—it's a deeper conversation about human nature, critical thinking, media influence, and recognizing manipulation before it takes hold.

Why do so many Americans feel disconnected from the institutions they once trusted?

Tonight, on  The Joe Rooz Show, Joe sits down with Dr. Joel Rakow, author of Life in Woke America, to explore the growing crisis of trust affecting government, media, education, corporations, and American culture.

Together they examine why many people feel politically homeless, how merit and identity have become flashpoints in today's cultural debates, and what happens when confidence in long-standing institutions begins to erode.

The conversation also explores free speech, diversity, leadership, personal responsibility, and whether America can rebuild the trust necessary for a healthy society.

Whether you agree or disagree with the perspectives shared, this discussion encourages thoughtful dialogue about one of the defining issues facing America today.

Topics Include:

• Declining trust in institutions
 • Cultural and political polarization
 • Merit vs. identity politics
 • Corporate and educational culture
 • Leadership and accountability
 • Public confidence in government
 • The future of American society

In this Sunday Bible Study, we step back before diving directly into Revelation Chapter 20 to lay a biblical foundation for understanding the Millennial Kingdom.

Together, we examine how Scripture ties together from Revelation 19, Matthew 25, Ezekiel 20, Luke 1, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Romans 8, and many other passages to demonstrate that Christ's thousand-year reign is not an isolated doctrine, but a promise woven throughout the entire Bible.
We explore why this kingdom is still future, why it cannot simply be spiritualized away, and how both the Old and New Testaments consistently point to Jesus Christ ruling bodily and righteously from Jerusalem.

We also examine the judgments that precede the Kingdom, the future conversion and restoration of Israel, and the physical transformation creation itself will experience when the curse is lifted. From the judgment of the nations to the regeneration of the earth, from peace replacing war to creation itself being renewed, this study shows where Revelation 20 fits within God's prophetic timeline.

Whether you're studying Bible prophecy for the first time or continuing your journey through the Book of Revelation, this lesson provides the biblical framework needed before we open Revelation Chapter 20 in our next study and examine Christ's glorious thousand-year reign.

What makes horror endure? Is it the monsters...or the people facing them?

Tonight Joe welcomes Bram Stoker Award-winning author Nzondi (Ace Antonio Hall) for a fascinating conversation that goes far beyond zombies and the supernatural. Together they explore why horror remains one of the most powerful forms of storytelling, how fear exposes our humanity, and why memorable characters matter more than monsters.

Nzondi shares his journey from educator to award-winning author, discusses winning the Bram Stoker Award, and offers an inside look at his growing DeathCon Universe, including his latest novel DeathCon: A Zombie Story. Along the way, the conversation branches into comic books, Godzilla, Brooklyn roots, teaching, relationships, creativity, and the challenges of building a lasting multimedia franchise.

Whether you're a horror fan, aspiring writer, or simply enjoy thoughtful long-form conversations, this episode offers an engaging look at storytelling, imagination, and what it means to create something that lasts.

What if becoming more prepared didn't require spending more money?

This week on Wednesday's with Wayne, Joe and Wayne explore practical self-reliance, preparedness, and the everyday decisions that can help you build a more resilient lifestyle without breaking the bank. The conversation covers everything from making better use of your property and local resources to building relationships with capable people who can help when times get tough.

Wayne shares practical lessons from his own homesteading journey with Rosanna, discussing canning, freeze-drying, smoking fish, beekeeping, gardening, improving pasture, caring for livestock, milling trees, cutting firewood, and even experimenting with herbal remedies like mullein. Rather than treating homesteading as a trend, Wayne explains why it's become a way of life rooted in stewardship, common sense, and long-term thinking.

 Joe and Wayne also dive into conservation, energy costs, propane backups, route planning, fuel efficiency, utility expenses, and the importance of using what you already have before spending money on what you don't need. Along the way, the conversation takes a few familiar Wednesday rabbit trails, but every stop reinforces the same idea: preparedness isn't just about buying more gear—it's about making smarter decisions with the resources you've already been given.


Whether you're an experienced prepper, a homesteader, or simply looking for practical ways to become more self-sufficient, this episode is packed with real-world ideas, thoughtful conversation, and plenty of the easygoing chemistry that has made Wednesday's with Wayne a favorite among Joe Rooz Show listeners.
