Today Dave tells a story about how he and his wife "walked through Christmas" and opted not "to run through it." As long as we are pondering things, have you ever considered how challenging it is to prepare a show about Christmas and the meaning of Christmas…knowing that in nearly half of the countries that this show is heard in…the religious majority doesn’t even share my beliefs. Mainline old school Jews don’t recognize Jesus as the Christ or the Messiah, like I do, and nearly all Mus...

Today Mark has seven point blank questions he puts to Dave. Join us for some serious straight talk about what to expect over the next 12 months. Here's a sampling: 1. Why has Trump resisted releasing the Epstein files, but has now flipped on this issue? Is Trump hiding something? 2. How is the economy really doing? 3. Many are saying a huge crash is coming. Buffet and Dalio reportedly have pulled their $$ out of the market and hold billions in ...

Today, Mark and I will attempt to share our weather forecast with you, because we believe the winds are changing. Last week we all woke up to a Marxist Communist Muslim, who only became an American citizen less than 10 years ago, has no work experience but now is the Mayor of NYC? How did the largest city and financial hub of the world with the largest population of Jewish Americas allow this to happen? Is that apathy or forgiveness? After 24 years New Yorkers forgot...

Today we will venture into the dark forest in search of truth surrounding Church doctrine, traditions and rituals. The "nonessential" differences we'll overlook and put to the side, but there are a few that need to be discussed. Paramount among them is how the Catholics view Mother Mary. Join us today for an engaging discussion into doctrines and beliefs as we match them up with the Word of God. Send us a text

So if you’ve been joining us the past few weeks, we took a little off road excursion and turned up the mountain to inquire about angels. In episode 279 we took a look at why are there some many references in the Bible about angels visiting God’s people and what could we learn from what they were told. Why do scholars refer to these events as ordinary angelic messengers? If they are so ordinary, why don’t we hear more about these encounters today? In last weeks show, I ...

Last week's show was all about sharing that angels DID speak to regular folks back in Bible times and I asked why don’t they do that today? DO angels speak to folks today and if they do how would I recognize their voice? Do they all sound the same? Do all angels have the same manner of communicating their message? Do they have different gifts or specialties? What are some of the attributes of angels and what can we learn from the angelic encounters we covered last we...

Can you read the signs of our times today? In the midst of the tear-gas can you see the chaos building? Have you seen the polls that suggest murdering political opponents is considered acceptable? Have you heard that there is a price or rewards offered for causing trouble? But on the other side of the street, you hear stories about revivals cropping up everywhere, from Australia to the UK. Turning Point USA now has over 130,000 campus chapter requests to fu...

Have you ever suggested a "course correction" to God? Today Mark will share a passage of scriptures in Matthew 16 where Peter tries to do just that, course-correct Jesus. Jesus had just given Peter the keys to the kingdom, because Peter correctly answered the question "whom do people say I am?" But just five verses later, Jesus calls Peter Satan. Same conversation, same day. Why? When Jesus starts to explain His mission of suffering and death...

Today we are taking a break from the news. September was a tough month in light of Charlie Kirk's assassination, remembering 911, Charlies Memorial, it was a heavy month. So today we are going to step back and find some encouragement in a book called Legacies of Valor: Traits of Character - The Noble & the notable. If your new to our show, I wrote Legacies of Valor back in 2011 and it's first release was 2012. It was updated in 2024. You can learn more about Legacies and...

We closed last weeks show promising to bring solutions for going forward. And that’s what today’s show is all about. Our Premise: Reprimands have not proven to be a deterrent. Serious consequences and pro-active common sense actions are. Most of these ideas or solutions are actions We The People can do. Not everything can be delegated to the government. - The case for free speech, civil discourse and rationale debate works for those that ...

Today we honor a fearless and uncompromising warrior. A warrior for Christ and a warrior for civil debate. Charlie Kirk stepped out of the boat and the ripple grew into a Tsunami Revival. A movement that will change the course of history. In todays show we'll cover the following topics: - The Tsunami Revival of Charlie Kirk - Marks perspective of why God allowed Charlies departure - Daves call for a new bill: The Civil Discourse 42 Act - Holding Represenatives to accou...

Welcome to One Day Closer with Mark and Dave, where we are rekindling a spirit of hope and truth into today’s discussion. This past week, on September 10,2025, America and the world lost a voice to be reckoned with. A voice dedicated to open civil discourse in search of connection and understanding. It’s impossible to highlight the life and mission of Charlie Kirk, husband, father and advocate for Christ Jesus, without admiration reference to his insight, vision, purpose, passion and de...

Tomorrow marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11, where we'll pause to honor the memories of the innocent men and women, moms and dads, students and children that were simply starting their day…commuting to work, settling in for a productive day on the job. But their day came to an end at 8:46 am est, when Flight 11 crashes into the north face of the North Tower of the World Trade Center, between floors 93 and 99. All passengers aboard are instantly killed with an unknown number inside the ...

A special thanks to the Newsmax network, Rob Finnerty, Rob Schmidt and the entire team at Newsmax for boldly and honestly sharing the truth about the challenges facing our youth, trans, gay, bi or straight. Today's program highlights what we know from the Minneapolis Trans mass shooting of this past week. We have the manifesto from the shooter. We will discuss how we are failing as a nation to push back against the lies our youth are being told by the radical left. Gender affirmin...

Opening clip accredited to Newsmax team, guest host Ed Henry, Finnerty show Eds monologue was captioned the Death of the Democratic Party. I prefer to refer to it as the glorious passing of a nasty bowel movement! The radical democrats killed their own party. They need wellness checks on Dems who are showing severe mental instability. CNN and Wallstreet polls reported this week that over 4 million former democrats have switched parties. They have decided to no longer b...

Many are saying that what we've witnessed over the last 200 days of Trumps Presidency is nothing short of unprecedented, historical performance of any presidency in our lifetime. Join us today for a quick recap of many of Trumps accomplishments over the past seven months that have significantly influenced American politics, American media, education, law and order, global alliances, global cooperation and global peace. It's truly amazing to ponder the accomplishments of a true visionary leade...

Last week I put a short show together asking you, our listeners, for some feedback on our podcast. As I mentioned in that episode, Mark and I launched One Day Closer officially in October 2022…under the call of Ezekiel 33, where we learned the importance of the call to become a Watchmen of the Wall. Which is to say, be engaged with Life. If you see danger on the horizon, sound the alarm! “Danger Will Robinson!” As you may recall, that season of time, Joe Biden’s ...

What’s the meaning behind our shows Title…One Day Closer? The simple answer is…Everyday we wake up with breath, we are all one day closer to either finishing our race here on earth, well or poorly. Not to sound morbid, but none of us are guaranteed our next day or our next breath here on Earth. Our bodies and our internal workings are an amazing self-contained tapestry of Gods handiwork. Some of us treat our bodies pretty rough, especially when we are younger. C...
