Welcome to gwot.rocks, a podcast about God, the World,and Other Things! We're all about advancing the peace of Christ in the midst of an agitated world. In a time where hate, tension, and stress seem to be at an all time high in our culture. Personal transformation the peace Jesus Christ brings can ultimately result in the restoration our decaying cities.THE CITY is the core of our human existence. As our key cities go, so goes our nation. In the first century A.D., synagogues were central to Jewish worship, teaching, and community life. In Luke 4, after His baptism and temptation, Jesus begins His public ministry by attending a synagogue on the Sabbath. Following custom, He stands to read and is handed the scroll of Isaiah. The passage He reads proclaims that the "Spirit of the Lord" is upon the speaker, anointing Him to preach good news to the poor, proclaim liberty to captives, recovery of sight to the blind, and freedom for the oppressed. This passage relates to the Jewish “Year of Jubilee” (Leviticus 25), a period every 50 years when debts were forgiven, slaves freed, and land returned, symbolizing liberation and restoration. The Isaiah passage is a messianic prophecy about God's servant bringing spiritual and social renewal. It was expected that the visiting Rabbi would continue reading from the place marked in the scroll. The marker was at the 61st out of 66 chapters…“The Spirit of the Lord God is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and freedom to the prisoners; to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor, and the day of our God’s vengeance; to comfort all who mourn, to provide for those who mourn in Zion; to give them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, festive oil instead of mourning, and splendid clothes instead of despair. And they will be called righteous trees, planted by the Lord to glorify him. They will rebuild the ancient ruins; they will restore the former devastations; they will renew the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations.” (Luke 4:1-4, CSB) After reading the passage, Jesus sits down, which in Jewish custom indicated He was about to teach. He then makes the profound statement, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing” (Luke 4:21).
On that first day of His public ministry, Jesus proclaims that He is the fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecy - that He is the Messiah who has come to bring the spiritual and social liberation promised in the passage. This is a bold and revolutionary claim, especially in His hometown. As the account unfolds, the people’s reaction turns from amazement to rage, leading them to attempt to throw Jesus off a cliff. However, Jesus miraculously walks through the crowd unharmed and leaves Nazareth. This event is significant as it marks the beginning of Jesus' public ministry and sets the tone for His mission: to bring spiritual, physical, and social liberation. Jesus’ reading and declaration align His mission with the messianic prophecy, emphasizing he is not just a teacher or prophet but is the long-awaited Messiah who inaugurates God's kingdom of the ultimate spiritual Jubilee - spiritual liberation and the arrival of God's kingdom, bringing freedom, healing, and renewal to all people. The Jubilee of Jesus Christ for individuals AND society as a whole is available to all today! As you can tell from the title and the podcast genesis, the topics covered in the future will be an eclectic and engaging look at stories and topics that inspire you and advance the peace of Christ in your life. and in the lives around you!

🎄✨ Christmas is more than a sweet story — it’s the moment God Himself stepped into your world to champion your cause (Lamentations 3:58, CSB). ⚖️💛 The baby in the manger grew into the Savior who took your guilt, carried your shame, and won the case you could never win.
Nothing in history — not Herod, not Rome, not the powers of darkness — could stop the mission behind Christ’s birth. And nothing in your present can overturn what Jesus accomplished for you. Your cause isn’t fragile, temporary, or under review… it’s finished, final, and forever. 🔒🌟
Christmas means you will never wake up in eternity to find yourself cast out, dislodged, or overturned. Heaven is secure because Jesus is faithful. 🕊️💫

🎄 The Wonders of Christmas Series — Episode 3 🎄
In this episode, we pull back the curtain on something breathtaking: Christmas isn’t just the beginning of the story—it’s God declaring the end from the beginning. ✨
Spurgeon’s reflection on Lamentations 3:58 reminds us that Christmas is courtroom language: the moment when the Judge steps down from the bench and becomes your Advocate. 👑⚖️ The manger points straight to the cross, the empty tomb, and the full settlement of your case before the trial ever begins. ✔️
This episode will help you see Christmas as strategic, intentional, and fiercely personal. Jesus came as your Substitute, your Lamb, your Defender, your Peace. 🌟 Your verdict? Redeemed. Secure. Forever. 🙌
And in the Addendum, we bring needed clarity: this hope becomes yours only by grace through faith in Christ. The gift is paid for—🎁—but each person must receive it. If you don’t yet know Jesus, this episode offers a gentle, hopeful invitation to call on Him today. If you already belong to Him, prepare for your joy to deepen as Christmas draws near. ❤️✨
Merry Christmas, dear friend. May your Advocate fill your heart with peace and wonder. 🎁🕯️

✨ The Wonders of Christmas Series #2
In this episode, we explore It’s a Wonderful Life through the quiet power of the woman who holds the story together—Mary Bailey—and the real-life grace of the woman who played her, Donna Reed. 🌟
While George Bailey faces the crisis, Mary is the steady heart of the film. Her strength, humility, and quiet resolve embody a kind of goodness our fractured world still longs for. ❤️
The surprising truth? Donna Reed lived much the same way. Raised in a devout Methodist home, her deep but private faith shaped her kindness, professionalism, and the way she treated everyone on set. 🙏
In an industry built on ego, she chose integrity—becoming a “letter of Christ” written on the hearts of those who knew her (2 Corinthians 3:2–3). ✍️✨
Today, in a culture that often feels blown apart, we reflect on how ordinary Christian character can still anchor a community, a family, a workplace—just as Mary Bailey did for Bedford Falls. 🕯️
Be encouraged: even when the odds feel slim, you can be a quiet difference-maker right where you are. 🌲💛

🎄✨ Step back into the glow of classic Christmas America as we revisit the incredible real story behind It’s a Wonderful Life — the 1946 “flop” that became the most beloved Christmas movie of all time. 🌟📺
Discover how three legendary directors took a bold stand for creative freedom, only to see their dream collapse… and how a simple clerical mistake decades later turned George Bailey, Clarence the angel, and the town of Bedford Falls into an annual Christmas tradition. 🎬❄️🔔
In this episode, you’ll remember why this film still moves us: because its world was shaped by a culture that still prayed, still sang carols, still helped neighbors, and still knew whose birthday Christmas celebrates. 🙏🎶👶✨
As you watch George run through the snow shouting “Merry Christmas!” you’re not just watching a movie — you’re remembering a time when Christmas pointed clearly to Christ. And maybe… you’re feeling Heaven get just a little closer. ❤️❄️
So plug in the lights, warm up the cocoa, and gather the family. This Christmas, let Bedford Falls remind you of the wonder, hope, and Light that came into the world named Jesus. 🌟🎁👑 🎄✨
Side note: Paramount ultimately regained control of "Its A Wonderful Life". Its along and complex story...just beware- YOU CAN NOT USE ANY PART OF THE MOVIE without Paramount consent. Companies who made copies of the movie before Paramount regained control can sell remaining stock.

📝 This Thanksgiving, we’re stepping into one of the most astonishing moments of God’s providence in early American history. 🍂✨
The Pilgrims were grieving a brutal winter, weakened, hungry, and unprepared for a land they didn’t know. Yet God was already arranging provision they couldn’t see. 🙏🌅
That provision arrived through a Native American man named Squanto—a man who endured kidnapping, enslavement, forced travel across oceans, and the devastating loss of his entire tribe. 💔⛓️🌍
History doesn’t record his motives. But it does record his actions: Squanto stepped toward the Pilgrims with generosity, teaching them how to grow food, fish, and survive. His kindness helped an entire community endure. 🌽🐟🤝
This episode reflects on how Squanto’s service stands in contrast to the bitterness his suffering could have produced. And it challenges us—those who follow Jesus—to choose gratitude over bitterness in our own storms. ✨🕊️
Romans 8:28 and 1 Thessalonians 5:18 aren’t just verses; they’re invitations to trust God’s providential care even through the hardest chapters. 📖🔥
Today, friend, let Squanto’s example and God’s providence lift your eyes:
👉 Choose gratitude over bitterness.
👉 Choose mercy over withdrawal.
👉 Choose trust over cynicism.
Happy Thanksgiving. Go love someone with open hands today. 🧡🤲🍂

⛵️ Thanksgiving week is here, friend — and today’s episode takes you back to a night in 1620 when the Mayflower almost turned back. A cracked beam… a raging storm… sickness… fear… and a group of believers choosing gratitude anyway. 🙏💨⚓️
In the middle of the chaos, William Brewster opened Psalm 107:23–31 and reminded everyone that the God who stirred the waves was the same God who stills them. 🌊➡️🤫
They weren’t thankful for the storm — but they were thankful in it. That same posture shows up in Colossians 2:6–7: being rooted in Christ and overflowing with gratitude. 🌿💛
A repaired beam held. 🌊 And 102 weary passengers pressed forward toward a new life of worship and hope.
Today’s episode invites you to stop, breathe, and look up. Whatever storm is shaking your little boat, Jesus is already in it — steady, faithful, unchanging. ✝️✨
Let your “thank You” rise before the answer ever arrives. 🕊️🙌

Sunday PSA / Teaser: “When the Beam Cracked”
Hey friend, happy Thanksgiving week! 🍂✨
Step back to September 1620. The Mayflower has been at sea for weeks. The passengers are sick. Supplies are low. And during a violent North Atlantic storm, one of the main support beams cracks.
In that moment of fear and tension, William Brewster read Psalm 107:23–31, and the passengers chose gratitude—not because life was easy, but because God was with them in the storm.
Colossians 2:6–7 reminds us to be rooted, built up, and overflowing with gratitude, even before answers arrive.
Take five minutes to hear this story and let your heart be encouraged to choose gratitude in your own life today. 🙏💛

Main Verse
A midnight power outage taught me: wrong plug = no vision, systems crash. ⚡
Proverbs 29:18 (CSB): “Without revelation people run wild, but one who follows divine instruction will be happy.” 👀📖
This “people” = God’s covenant family (Israel then, church now). When we ditch God’s prophetic word for celebrity pastor “vision,” restraints collapse—idolatry, scandals, chaos.
In today’s storm (anxiety epidemics, attendance freefall, 2024-25 pastor moral failures), we must unplug from men & plug our minds into Jesus alone—Hebrews 12:2, the pioneer & perfecter of our faith.
True vision & power come only from Him. Fix your eyes, reroute your cords. ✝️🔌
Key Verse
Hebrews 12:2 (CSB): “…keeping our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith…” ⚓❤️

📖 **Key Verse (CSB):**
> “During those days he went out to the mountain to pray and spent all night in prayer to God.” – Luke 6:12
🔥 **Spurgeon Reworked:**
- 🏔️ He hit the mountain. Solo.
- 🙏 All night. No quick vibe check.
- 🤫 Silence. Full lock-in.
- 😡 After Pharisees came for Him.
- 🚫 No comeback. Just climbed.
- 🌌 Alone. Prayed. Nonstop.
- 🌅 Dawn: Named the Twelve.
- 💪 Mission on. Enterprise live.
🚪 **So What?**
Prayer = **gate** to His enterprise.
Not a side quest. The main drop.
Solitude → Authority → Action.
🌑 **Big Picture:**
World slept. Darkness flexed.
One Man, one night, one prayer—**broke the dark**.
No post. No noise. Heaven heard. History flipped.
🔇 Silence > noise.
🌠 Aloneness echoes forever.
💡 **Your Call:**
- 🧎♂️ Slip away. No clout needed.
- 🌙 Pray like it’s war—cuz it is.
- 🚀 Step through. Launch *your* mission.
🔥 **Go dark. Win loud.** 🔇

Ever feel a restlessness that no pleasure can satisfy? 🤔💭 You’re not alone — centuries of Puritan insight reveal that the human soul is made for infinite satisfaction… which can only be found in God Himself. 🌊✨
In today’s episode, we explore the pursuit of created pleasure 🍰📺💸 and why it always leaves us wanting more. From the thrill of the next bite, the next scroll, the next distraction — none of it can fill the soul’s deepest longing.
We also examine the life of Christ 🕊️, fully human and fully God, who experienced hunger, joy, friendship, grief, and labor, yet never misplaced His desires in created things. He shows us the path to true, God-centered delight — enjoying creation as a reflection of its Creator, not as a replacement for Him. 🌟🙏
If you’ve ever wondered why “more” never satisfies, or why rest feels just out of reach, this episode is for you. Tune in to discover the cure for emptiness and how the life of God in your soul transforms the way you see pleasure forever. 💡💛
✨ Listen, reflect, and let your longing point you home. Your soul was made for more than fleeting delight — it was made for the infinite God. 🕊️💧

🕊️ In a world that rewards roar 🦁 and rush 🐅, God delights in the quiet strength of the meek. 💫 He doesn’t ask for sacrifices from lions or tigers — but from doves and lambs 🕊️🐑 — the gentle, surrendered, yielded ones.
💡 Meekness isn’t weakness. It’s strength under grace — the power to stay calm when everything inside wants to react. ⚖️ It’s choosing peace instead of panic, patience instead of pride, rest instead of rivalry.
Jeremiah Burroughs called meekness the “mother-grace” — the virtue that gives birth to every other. 🌸 It births kindness when you’re provoked, silence when you could fight back, forgiveness when you’ve been wronged. 💗
🔥 The world prizes control. But heaven crowns surrender.
To walk in meekness is to live yoked to Jesus — gentle, lowly, and perfectly at rest. 🌿
✨ Let the Spirit form that mother-grace in you today.
Because lions and tigers may rule the jungle,
but lambs and doves belong to the altar —
and that’s where the presence of God rests. 🙏

Have you ever wondered why your soul feels restless—even when life looks full? 🤔✨ Deep inside every person is a longing placed there by God Himself 💛. We were created to seek Him, but sin has bent our hearts toward everything but Him. 🌍💔
Yet that ache you feel isn’t random—it’s a holy nudge calling you home to your Creator 🙏🔥.
If you stripped away every possession and pleasure, what would be left? 🕊️ The answer may surprise you. Beneath all the noise remains your mind, your will, your capacity to love, and—most of all—your soul made in the image of God 👑.
We’ll talk about this reality through Scripture 📖 and the sobering story of Dennis Prager, whose life changed after a tragic fall left him paralyzed. 💬 Though his body is confined, his voice and spirit remain strong—reminding us that our worth is not in what we can do, but in whose we are. 🙌

Feeling restless? 😟 That longing in your heart isn’t a flaw—it’s a holy nudge from God ✨ drawing you back to Him. True contentment doesn’t come from what you have, but from who God is ❤️. Every earthly pleasure, every possession can only partially satisfy… but God fills the emptiness of your soul completely! 🙌
When you anchor your heart in Him, you receive His borrowed sufficiency—His fullness becomes your life 🕊️. You stop chasing more and start delighting in what God has given 🎁. The discontented heart whispers, “I need more,” but the renewed heart joyfully says, “God is enough” 🌟.
This episode is short, sweet, and to the point. BUT...every word is power packed! I'm excited to share this with you...Kenny

🔥 Show Notes:
“The love of Christ constrains us.” (2 Corinthians 5:14) 💞 Have you ever stopped to measure how deeply you owe your Lord? He’s forgiven your sins 🙏, clothed you in righteousness 👑, steadied your steps 🪨, and prepared both heaven for you 🌤️ and you for heaven ✨. But love like that demands a response—more than words, more than sentiment.
💡 What does your love do?
Real love acts. It gives. It serves. It moves! When Christ’s love grips your heart, it becomes a rushing wind 🌬️ that clears away worldliness and propels you into joyful obedience. “For Christ’s sake” becomes your anthem—the fire that fuels every act of courage, generosity, and service.
🔥 Let His love be the divine energy that gives wings to your feet 🕊️ and strength to your hands 🙌. Don’t keep your love locked away like stagnant water; let it flow freely in deeds that glorify Him. When Christ’s love truly constrains you, obedience isn’t forced—it overflows. 💖
🎧 Listen now and let His love rekindle the fire in your soul.

What a day! Listen to the podcast intro for the full story. I revisit our first episode from August 2019 to show how this podcast began and how God has kept me steadfast despite cultural shifts. My original assessments about major cities and their ongoing turmoil still hold true. I changed the byline from "equilibrium" to "peace" to clearly reflect the spiritual goal of equipping you to stand firm in a chaotic world. I’m also launching "Coffee Fueled Wisdom," a new channel to foster community online and through local gatherings, starting in Nashville and potentially expanding globally if God wills it.

Ever stumbled on something that flips your perspective? 💡 I did, browsing archive.org, when I found a public domain audiobook of every interview Mark Twain—aka Samuel Clemens—ever gave. It hit me...where was Twain during the Civil War. I remember no mention of his participation or service. The front half of this episodes reflects on his escape out west with his brother Orion. ✨ But could he really escape 🏃♂️ ? Could anyone? 🤔
Join me on a journey back to the 1860s...

🎙️ Episode Title
The Grace of Silence: Grace Measured in Silence
🌿 Show Notes
What do you do when heaven goes quiet? 🤫 When your prayers seem to echo back unanswered, God may be inviting you into His most intimate form of grace — silence.
In this episode, we explore the mysterious pause in John 11:6 when Jesus delayed two days before visiting His dear friends in Bethany. 🕰️ What looked like inaction became the stage for resurrection power — the raising of Lazarus! 🌅
You’ll hear how God’s stillness is not neglect but nurture — the quiet rhythm by which He measures out His favor. 💧 Silence matures faith, deepens trust, and prepares the heart for miracles that only time and surrender can unveil. 🙏
💭 “If you believe in Me, even if you die, you will live.” — John 11:25-26
The silence wasn’t the end; it was the setup for eternal life breaking through. 🌤️
🎧 Tune in and let this reflection steady your soul. Discover how waiting in faith becomes worship — and how grace is never absent, even when all you hear is quiet. 🌾🔥
