Kingdom Crossroads Podcast With Pastor Robert Thibodeau

The Fragrance of Jesus Scott WrightScott Wright is back today and last time he was on, we had a great discussion about the “Anointing of Jesus” – what was involved and the symbology, etc. There were a lot of interesting things brought out during that discussion… if you missed it, go back to the archives and dig it out. Amen.  Today, and we are going to be talking  about some very interesting things which we just “breezed over” during the last program – but are also a very important component of the worship of Jesus – and that is the aroma or “FRAGANCE” of Jesus. What are we talking about, “The Fragrance of Jesus?” Well, to find out, help me welcome back to the program, Scott Wright! Scott, it’s good to have you again – I’ve been looking forward to the conversation today! The Bible discusses the aroma of the offerings and things like that… being a “sweet smell” to God.  Does all this relate to the “Altar of Incense?”  How is the aroma of offerings a worship of

To My Spouse I Write Lloyd Portman I’ve known our guest today for quite some time. He and I joke that we are “twins.” We were born on the same day, only in different time zones and opposite ends of the earth! Amen! Lloyd Portman is a Christian entrepreneur for “down under” in New Zealand. He is the founder of a magnificent website and coaching program called, “To My Spouse I Write.” It is designed to draw couples even closer together in ways that, well – only God can tell. Amen!  Lloyd is an excellent poet and writer – and I know you are going to get a lot out of this interview today… To share all about this great program, help me welcome to the program, my great friend, Lloyd Portman. Lloyd – Praise God, welcome to the show! First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Lloyd Portman?” I know that you were born again milking cows, is that right?  Did a cow kick you in the head and you heard God, or what? You also felt called to the ministry. Fo

Sparky the Broken Mirror Joe Schimmel Since 1987 Pastor Joe Schimmel has been equipping Christians with the truth of God’s word. His testimony of the transforming power of Jesus Christ in his own life can be seen in his powerful exposé, They Sold Their Souls for Rock n Roll. This presentation has been heard during live presentations at churches around the world in which he describes his own deliverance from the bondage and satanic influence of Rock Music at the age of 18. In addition to the video production, “They Sold Their Souls for Rock & Roll,” Good Fight Ministries has produced other film and television exposés, including “Marvel & DC’s War on God,” and “Hollywood’s War on God,” among others. Joe has been on our program a couple of times before and it is always a blessing to have him share this information with us.

Healing as a Survivor of Sexual Assault May Alirad pt 2 As an immigrant from Laos with her family, May Alirad was hoping to live the American dream… but, at age 7 she experienced her “first” sexual assault.  I say “first” intentionally. Because it continued by several people, on and off, until she was 32 years of age. After 30 years of unintentionally living as a victim of multiple sexual assaults, May finally found freedom from guilt, shame, embarrassment, fear, and condemnation. This happened when she was in a prayer group and everyone was praying for her. Amen. May went to work and actively put faith in her ability to heal and help others do the same. May is now sharing this proven, life-tested, (not time tested, but LIFE-TESTED), personally verifiable approach - with you. She is the author of a great book titled, “Was I Assaulted – My Guide to Healing as a Survivor.” This is part two and the conclusion of a very, very important interview on a very sensitive topic - please pay attention and share this int

Sensory Friends Christine Goulbourne Often, special needs families are unable to attend church services or participate in faith-based and community events due to challenging barriers like, access (ramps and space to accommodate their equipment, etc.), sensitivity and acceptance of intellectual differences and appearances, accommodations needed and more. This sadly leaves the disability community disconnected and isolated. It continues to isolate and ostracize members of the disability community and their families even more. Which is why our guest is here today to help us understand this and how she is helping to “Get the Word Out” about how we – who are not familiar with what they go through on a daily basis, can better understand and offer help. Christine Goulbourne is a special needs mom, advocate, and writer. She started a blog about eight years ago to help other families like theirs. Her son, Richie, she says, is a great guy who is intelligent, funny and has autism. Their family is actively involved in s

Secrets Beneath Scars Cyndi Brec As a child, Cyndi Brec is a Christian who grew up struggling through school. She was diagnosed with learning disabilities and dyslexia and had to attend the “learning disabilities class.” But she never let that hold her back. She became a “Recreational Therapy Technician” that helped the mentally challenged elderly folks – and she has incorporated some of those experiences into her stories as well. Fast forward and she met and married the man of her dreams, and they purchased a 200 year old mill and built their home out of a “blacksmith shop.”  That’s not something you see everyday. Amen! Cyndi enjoys her writing and sets a struggling, affection and tension building pace in her writings. Full of conspiracies, intrigues and little twists on historical facts mixed in. All of this involves the mysterious ancient world in her “Theran’s Series.”  Her first book in the series is titled, “The Secrets Beneath Scars.” Although not released as of today, as we do this interview, I’m sure

True Grace of God Pastor Chad Wagner There are many voices in the world and most of them are of deceiving spirits. The Bible is clear on that. In fact, there is only ONE VOICE we need to listen to and that is voice of Jesus as we hear by the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen! When we learn to discern the promptings of the Holy Spirit, we are able to minister to others and pray effectively with others. We are able to discern between “good and evil” and when things being presented are not Biblically grounded in the Word of God or when things are actually proclaiming the Truth from the Word of God. One man who has taken this to the next level is Pastor Chad Wagner. Chad is the pastor of the “Excelsior Springs Church” which is an Independent Baptist Church located in Excelsior Springs, Missouri. Chad is also the author of a great book titled, “The True Grace of God.” This book uses scripture to expound upon the “True Grace of God” while refuting the errors of both Arminianism and Calvinism. Amen! To open this great

The Anointing of Jesus Scott Wright In the Old Testament, the High Priest was “anointed with oil” as he took his office. This anointing oil was a mixture of several, very expensive oils and fragrant spices. Before we get into this, I want you to imagine something here… Now, just imagine, if someone poured just one the little squirt bottles of perfume on you in a store (by accident, I hope)… but the entire bottle. Imagine how strong that fragrance would be… Now, imagine you had a BIG important meeting you had to attend, no backing out, no excuses, in 10 minutes. And the meeting would last a few hours. What would people say as you were entering the conference room?  Imagine if you were one of the attendees in the conference room – and someone else had the perfume poured on them? Back to the High Priest… this oil was literally, poured over his head – not just a little dab… but the equivalent of about 3 gallons. His hair and beard was totally soaked. His raiment and clothing was totally saturated. It was so soak

Gane Wisdom By Chrysalis   Guy Gane pt 2 Each one of us, everyone listening to my voice right now, has a calling by God for their life. Whether you listen to and obey that calling is your choice. Whether you align your life with God’s plans and everything works out for our good – or you run the other way and experience the consequences – we are always growing. Amen! Our guest today had it all. He was a successful businessman. He had a good income, great family and was living the lifestyle most wanted to aspire to. But then… I’ll leave it there and allow him to share the “but then” story. During the “but then” aspect of his life, he dove deeper into this relationship with God. And soon found this time of his life was a time of change. A time of transformation. A time to become what God wanted him to be all along. Amen! Guy Gane is our guest today and his story will, I believe, “transform” someone listening to us today. He is the author of a great book titled, “Chrysalis: Awakening to God's Path, Protection and

Space to Breath Tommy Thompson pt 2 In this busy world – that seems to get busier almost every single day – sometimes we need to just take a step back, pause and just take a deep breath. Often, just that one thing can give us the clarity we seek. Sometimes, it can also save us from doing something that could have adverse consequences. Amen! It seems like everyone we talk to is feeling overwhelmed by life, Pastor Bob included. Amen!  Yet, we just keep on pushing. Often taking on more and more – all with the intent of achieving what we dream of as “success.” But it seems that “the faster we go, the behinder we get.” Amen! There are just too many balls we are juggling and trying to keep them all up in the air at the same time.  And if you ever noticed a juggler that drops one ball, it seems it causes almost ALL OF THE BALLS to drop! Amen! Our guest today has learned how to just, step back and take a breath (so to speak) and is now helping others to find that guiding peace as well. Tommy Thompson is our guest to

Will May 19th Be A Dark Day for the World?  Richard Ruhling As we continue to watch, literally, the world going to hell in a handbasket right now, many people are wondering if this is actually the days leading up to the return of Jesus. If so – how close are we? Our guest today has been on several times before as we look at subjects which the Bible tells us to be aware of – but is anybody listening? Dr. Richard Ruhling is back today to share with us somethings we need to be aware of that may occur in the very, very near future. About a month or so ago, Dr. Ruhling was on where, during the course of the interview, we focused on the “2ndPassover” mentioned in the Bible. With that time now approaching, I wanted Dr. Ruhling to come back on the program and explain this for us again and discuss just how important it is for believers everywhere to recognize the importance of what shared. This is part two of a great two part interview with Dr. Richard Ruhling... At the end of the “10 Virgins Parable” – Jesus said you

Can We Make God Jealous?  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, “Can We Make God Jealous?” 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… So, let’s start with this question… “What is Jealousy?”  The dictionary defines “Jealousy” as, “…a feeling of resentment, bitterness or hostility toward someone who has something that you don’t.” That sounds like a “sin” – kind of like “coveting” – wanting something you cannot have. Since God cannot sin – is God Jealous?  If so, why? We see throughout Exodus 20:5 where the Bible says, “You shall not bow down to them or serve them (false idols), for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of those
