Unveiling the Truth: Divided We Fall
Today’s show is an open discussion on the protest demonstrations happening across the United States and the impact of propaganda on shaping perceptions. I firmly stand with Israel and believe it is a beacon of hope and progress in the region. The ongoing conflict is not only about Israel, but part of a larger agenda to divide and weaken the United States. This is not just a theory; there are facts to support it. Let's talk about George Soros and his Open Society Foundation, which has been involved in funding divisive activities around the world. It's crucial to be aware of these influences and not fall for manipulated narratives. As Americans, we must speak out against agendas that seek to distort our thinking and divide us. I encourage you to seek the truth and not be swayed by propaganda.

Sabine Becker: Thriving Through Adversity
Sabine was born without arms but has never accepted limitations. Instead, she learned to use her feet for everyday tasks -getting dressed, writing, typing, texting, combing her hair, applying makeup, and driving her non-modified car. As if mastering the challenges of living with her thalidomide disability wasn't enough, in 2012, she was faced with another serious and life-altering event. While driving her car in a remote part of New Mexico, Sabine suffered a massive stroke. Miraculously she was found, rescued, and she survived! However, the stroke left her with left-sided paralysis. She could not walk or talk, and her memory and other cognitive skills were severely impaired. Her acronym P.U.S.H., which stands for Persevere Until Success Happens, helped her persevere through 12 months of physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Today she lives a fully independent life again. Sabine believes adversity should not control your life! She works today with people who feel stuck in hardship and have lost Hope. Using her easy six steps P.U.S.H. Framework, she shows her audience how anybody can reframe adversity into meaningful opportunities to live a thriving life regardless of the circumstances.

We actually met about 6 weeks ago at a clinical laboratory where Donovan was working at the time. He has such an interesting background. He grew up in Jamaica with an adopted family who were pastors, so he was introduced to God and the church from a very early age. After doing well academically, he graduated high school in 1992 and then moved to Kingston where he became even more involved with his church and grew closer in his faith. In 2019, he came to America. Donovan truly believes that the most important life decision is to accept God and live according to His principles; to preach and share God's goodness.

Jared Laskey: Overcoming PTSD and Pursuing Intimacy with God
As you likely know by now, I love speaking with young men who have powerful stories to tell to the next generation. My guest this week does just that! Jared Laskey joins me and talks about his family, including his 18-year-old son who just graduated high school and his oldest son who left to attend a discipleship program in Switzerland. Jared and I connected over both having served in the military and seen many parts of the world. We agreed that there is too much political polarization in America today when we should be united by our shared faith in Jesus. Jared shared about how he became a Christian at 18 but later struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after serving in combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. It took him years to get treatment and do the hard work to heal. Finally in 2018 he attended a retreat where he had a major breakthrough regarding his PTSD. He realized he had shut off his emotions during a traumatic combat event, failing to feel compassion for an injured enemy combatant. Through prayer and support from fellow veterans at the retreat, Jared was able to find healing and restoration in Christ. Jared is a Staff Writer for God TV and contributor to Charisma Magazine, AG News, Message of the Open Bible and more. He has a Bachelor of Science in Pastoral Studies from Eugene Bible College in Oregon, a Master of Arts in Christian Ministry from Shepherds Theological Seminary in North Carolina and Master of Divinity from Regent University in Virginia. He served in the United States Marine Corps from 2006-2011, deploying to Iraq in 2007-2008 and Afghanistan in 2009. His heart and passion is to awaken this generation to the power of the Holy Spirit. Using his prophetic gifts to glorify Jesus, he teaches people how to hear God's voice and pursue intimacy with Him.

Christopher Beth: Sharing God’s Love Through the Gift of Clean Water
Prior to founding The Bucket Ministry, Christopher worked as a business consultant. He had no intentions to enter full-time ministry until he accompanied his then-high school daughter on a mission trip to the Brazilian Amazon in 2012. While on the first stop on the Amazon River, Christopher witnessed the devastating effects of a lack of access to clean water on communities there when a woman asked him if he was thirsty. He watched her grab glasses, walk to the edge of the river and collect two dirty cups of water. Realizing he couldn’t drink this contaminated water, it was at this moment he heard the Lord say to him, “Help them.” He returned home from the mission trip with a conviction to somehow merge the two great scarcities of God and water into one ministry. Thus, The Bucket Ministry was born. Since founding The Bucket Ministry in 2015, Christopher has expanded the ministry’s work beyond the Amazon to actively evangelize and provide water filters to over 20 countries. The Bucket Ministry’s mission is to share God’s love through the gift of safe, clean, drinking water; and Christopher has every intention to realize that mission in every place lacking its spiritual and physical blessings.

Jon Beebe: Living a Life Fueled By Purpose and Passion
Jon Beebe's favorite titles are husband, girl dad, friend, and man of faith. After those titles, he is a proud member of BillsMafia, a traveler, and an avid entrepreneur. His life mission is to live and work in a way that allows him to engage more with those he loves and the things he loves. His lifestyle shows that this is not just something Jon talks about, but he also actively lives it out. When it comes to business, Jon desires that his companies also provide resources that allow others to engage more with those they love and the things they love. Having worked more than 35 different jobs, he finally decided to take his experiences and create the life he wanted for himself and his family. His latest career before going into full-time entrepreneurship was as a pastor (14 years). Most of those years were spent as a youth pastor at one of the largest churches in the country (LCBC Church, PA). Due to some anxiety his wife was going through and him almost reaching the point of burnout because he was pastoring and helping run his and his wife's affiliate marketing company, he decided to leap into full-time entrepreneurship. His life has had its share of struggles, from suffering crippling emotional/psychological abuse growing up, navigating life with dyslexia, being told by his college registrar that he would never make it far with the degree he chose, and never seeing his beloved Bills win a Super Bowl. With all the struggles, there have been way more wins. Jon married his best friend, Lauren, in 2007, and they have three beautiful daughters (Ava, Juiliana, & Londyn). Together Jon and Lauren own Beebe's Bargains. Beebe's Bargains is an online affiliate marketing company that saves people time and money by finding the best deals on everyday products. Since its start in October of 2018, they have seen exponential growth, saving their community hundreds of thousands of dollars yearly on everyday products. As of May 2023, their Facebook community is over 63k and organically growing by an average of 700 members a month. Community building is one of Jon's strengths. Along with Beebe's Bargains, in June of 2022, Jon founded Beebe Travel. He acts as a Travel Specialist, inspiring people to travel and teaching them how to make it happen, no matter their time or budget constraints. Jon is also an entrepreneur coach and loves helping people see their dreams come true and achieve financial freedom. When he's not serving people with his businesses, he loves traveling to Disney World with his family, following his hometown Buffalo Bills all over the country, and spending time with friends.

Herman Haller & Heidi Cherry: A Holocaust Survivor's Story

Herman Haller & Heidi Cherry: A Holocaust Survivor's Story
In this episode, we uncover the riveting story of Holocaust survivor, Herman Haller. Despite enduring unimaginable events, he has managed to maintain a positive outlook on life. Along with his daughter Heidi, he joins us on the show to share his survival story of one of the worst atrocities committed in human history, the Holocaust. Born in Berlin in 1924, Herman has lived through a time that most of us can only imagine through history books and movies. He has seen the worst of humanity, but through it all, he has never lost his faith in God and his belief in forgiveness. Herman's story is one that needs to be told. He was only six years old when his parents divorced, and he hardly knew his father. His family was in the furniture business, and his mother was able to run the business with the help of her brother. Herman had a younger brother, and they lived a comfortable life until the rise of the Nazi party. In 1933, when Hitler came to power, life changed for Herman and his family. They were Jewish, and they were no longer safe in Germany. They tried to leave the country, but it was too late. In 1942, Herman and his family were taken to a concentration camp. He was determined to live and tell the world about what happened during the Holocaust. Today, he is a witness to history, and he is still fighting for justice and peace. Herman's daughter, Heidi Cherry, is also a guest on the show. I’ve known her for many years, and I’m proud to have her on the show. Heidi knows that her father's story is one that needs to be heard!

Robert J. Wolf, MD: A Fight for Freedom
ROBERT WOLF, M.D. is a neuroradiologist who attended the University of Michigan Medical School and completed his training at Brown and Yale Universities. He grew up in a suburb of Detroit as the only child of Ervin and Judit Wolf. Their stories of their escape from communist Hungary, and his father’s tragic history of escaping the Nazis twice but losing his own parents, inspired Robert to document his parents’ tales and share those stories with Jewish groups, history aficionados, and biography lovers throughout the United States, Europe, and elsewhere. In Not a Real Enemy Robert shares his family saga—and the forgotten history of the nearly half million Hungarian Jews who were deported and killed during the Holocaust—through an epic and inspiring tale of daring escapes, terrifying oppression, tragedy, and triumph.

Dr. Christina Murray: Better Vision for a Brighter Future
Dr. Christina Murray OD, FCOVD, is a board-certified optometrist in vision development. She is a proud graduate of both The Ohio State University and Nova Southeastern University. Since she was a child, Dr. Murray wanted to be an eye doctor but developed a passion for working with those with vision problems when she discovered deficits in her own visual system as an adult. Over the years, she has spent her post-graduate years studying primitive reflexes, syntonics light therapy, and exploring how the brain processes visual information. Dr. Murray is on a mission to bring awareness child's ability to read and learn. She is actively working with parents, legislators, and the school board to change the laws to consider visual processing disorders a disability. Expanding the law will allow for better coverage by medical insurance plans and children to get the accommodations they need in the classroom. Dr. Murray opened Center for Better Learning in 2018 and has expanded to three office locations in Coconut Creek, Boynton Beach, and Palm Beach Gardens. She works very closely with occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech therapists, cranial-sacral therapists, and tutors to provide comprehensive care for each patient. Her dream is to eventually open an office location where she can work side by side with other health care professionals in a collaborative way. Dr. Christina Murray lives in Boca Raton with her husband, Paul, two daughters, Amelia and Emma, and two golden retrievers, Sadie and Bentley. When she is not seeing patients, she enjoys reading, baking, and spending time with her family. As an avid runner, biker, and swimmer, she hopes her kids will allow her enough time to train for a half iron man this year.
