Kingdom Crossroads Podcast With Pastor Robert Thibodeau

Raising Other People’s Children Debbie Ausburn Today, there are more than 400K children in foster care in the United States. The reason for this varies from child abuse and neglect. Whether physical abuse, psychological abuse or sexual abuse – these are all significant reasons children are removed from homes. They can also cause long lasting mental health issues and authority issues as well.  Neglect can run the gamut from failing to fulfill a child’s needs for food, hygiene, education, etc. Even withholding medical care.  Sometimes there is the situation where a child is abandoned. Whether financial pressures, emotional pressure or other reasons, the parent drops the child off somewhere and never returns. Then, there is the totally tragic case of when a parent dies, leaving nobody to raise the child.  All of these situations are tragic. All of these situations can scar a child for life. All of these situations require someone to step up and help.  That is where our guest t

A Journey to Life Marina Carrier pt 2Heulwen Marina Carrier is our guest today, hailing from Edinburgh, Scotland.  Marina’s life has not been one of sunshine and roses. She was born as an illegitimate, unwanted child… suffered sexual abuse by her step-father up to age nine, when she was left for dead. But God. Amen. But God… Despite her suffering, she continued to excel through school and through God’s provision, was able to pass her classes well enough to train for and become a teacher. Amen! All her life, she continued to ask questions and gain wisdom through seeking the answers. This has enabled her to help those who have been diagnosed with learning disabilities to learn and grow as well.  She lived in denial of what she went through for many years, including her own husband’s betrayal.  One night, while praying she heard her name called and since then, now more than 30 years I believe, God called her back to the Church to minister to others who have also felt betr

Summit in a Box Krista MillerVirtual Summits are now the most popular way to grow your online business. You can be in ministry and hold revivals online. I know. I did that when the COVID shutdowns first happened. Our ministry was one of the first in the nation to hold an online ministry summit after the shutdown.We had 40 some pastors and ministers from around the nation come on the program over three days. We had over 700 visitors during the summit as we discussed the situation in light of Biblical prophecy and the need for repentance, etc.But, I pieced that summit together using about four different platforms! It took three of us to run it when we went live… plus the emails and promotions… It was a success… but it was the LAST ONE I did for over two years…Then, a month or two ago, the Lord put on my heart it was time for another summit of pastors to discuss prophecy in light of current events – again! I’m being honest, I was not thrilled He had put that in my heart and mind… amen!But, a week or s

Business Ownership Simplified for Success Michael Morrison  For many of us, what started off as a great idea has become a nightmare of sorts. Being your own boss. Setting your own hours. Not having to answer to anyone? Isn’t that how it all starts?  At first it’s fine. Even fun. But, with growth, comes the problems.  I know. I’ve run into that with the ministry?    When we first started, I could set the entire week on the radio station in about four hours on a Sunday afternoon.  Two years later, it had become a full time job. Four years into this, I was working 15 and 16 hour days, usually 7 days a week. And that was just to keep up.  I was ready to throw in the towel. But, long story short, I started to hire some help. It allowed me to take as step back from having to do EVERYTHING – to now, passing off the routine tasks to others.  That’s just one quick example of what our guest today is helping many people to do.  Michael

The Decline and Fall of America Tom Donnan In the face of the decline and fall of America, it becomes crucial to discern and confront the spiritual forces that are shaping our world today. This concern extends beyond the realms of believers to encompass non-believers who are now witnessing unsettling changes. The resurgence of ancient demonic spirits, as forewarned in biblical texts, emerges as potential architects behind the unraveling of our culture and the transformative shifts that are being seen in the media. The fabric of today's society and of modern culture bears the imprint of malevolent spirits, exemplified by the proliferation of occult practices and emphasized by spirit of sexuality influencing gender issues. A discernible spiritual battle rages on, marking a need for revival in the name of Jesus. To navigate through these challenges, we must dismantle strongholds, live guided by the Holy Spirit, and unflinchingly invoke the Name of Jesus amidst the backdrop of America's decline and fall. We A

End-Time Surprises Dr. Richard Ruhling pt 2 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.

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
