Prophecy in the Spotlight with Dan Goodwin

Laodicean Christianity: The "Un-" Words That Describe Today's Lukewarm Church

Dan Goodwin and Charles Hiltibidal open Revelation chapter three's letter to the Laodicean church to describe today's Christianity, working through a growing list of "un-" words, unattached, unaccountable, unreliable and more, that they see marking lukewarm believers and churches in the last days.

Opening: Revelation Three and Laodicean Christianity
Dan Goodwin opens the broadcast alone, naming the week's theme Laodicean Christianity and reading Revelation chapter three, verses fourteen through sixteen, where Christ tells the angel of the church of the Laodiceans that He knows their works, that they are neither cold nor hot, and that because they are lukewarm He will spew them out of His mouth. Goodwin calls that image a polite way of saying He will vomit them out, and tells viewers that God hates this condition. He reads ahead to the church's own self-assessment, that it is rich and increased with goods, and names that attitude as the mark of this final end-time church. Goodwin says the program will explain what Laodicean Christianity means and why it matters, promising an exciting show before sending the broadcast to its first break and urging viewers not to miss what follows. His voice is admittedly weak from a cold, a detail he mentions will shape how the hour unfolds with co-host Charles Hiltibidal.

Seven Churches as a Prophetic Timeline
Back from the break, Charles Hiltibidal, called Doc, explains that Revelation's seven churches in chapters two and three were real congregations whose letters also map onto eras of church history, each church representing an age the church as a whole has passed through. He points to a chart showing the first age, Ephesus, the apostolic age, dated to the year 118, the year Hiltibidal says the Apostle John died as the last living apostle, correcting the common idea that Paul died on the Isle of Patmos. Hiltibidal explains Paul was actually removed from Patmos after a regime change in Rome and returned to Ephesus, where he trained Polycarp and sent missionaries across the known world. Goodwin agrees that many teachers before them have read the seven churches this way, and the two conclude that the Laodicean church, the seventh and final letter, represents the present age, bad but not something believers must belong to, since the chapter that follows, Revelation four, opens with the door of the rapture.

Lukewarm Christianity and the Middle of the Road
Dan Goodwin notes that Christ is coming for what he calls a lukewarm, carnal, worldly, lifeless church, quickly adding he hopes he is not part of that description. Hiltibidal agrees some believers and churches remain Philadelphian, faithful like that earlier church, but says the defining sign of the end times within the church age is lukewarmness itself. He argues most Christians today avoid being hot, fearing the label of a Bible-thumping, hellfire preacher, while also avoiding the cold extreme associated with churches that fly a pride flag from the pulpit, leaving them hunting for the middle of the road. Goodwin cites Jesus's question in Luke 18:8, "When I return, shall I find faith on the Earth," calling it a rhetorical statement rather than a real question. Goodwin adds that in America, government welfare has replaced the dependence on faith that once made people pray simply to eat, while Hiltibidal observes that once preachers quit preaching what the Bible says, they have already drifted from hot into lukewarm water.

First Un-Words: Unattached, Unaccountable, Unreliable
Hiltibidal turns to the Laodiceans' own words, "I am rich, and increased with goods," explaining he has spent weeks researching commentaries and believes the claim describes both physical wealth and a parallel spiritual self-sufficiency that says, "I have need of nothing," no church, no fellowship of believers. From there he unveils a list of hyphenated "un-" words he has been building, starting with unattached, people who avoid formal church membership in favor of watching services on Facebook or YouTube from home, which Goodwin compares to watching a movie on a screen rather than belonging anywhere. Hiltibidal follows with unaccountable, noting that nobody is watching the lives of those who only watch a screen, and unreliable, a trait he says marks the under-forty crowd both at church and at work, where people fail to show up except on payday. Goodwin connects the accountability point to Hebrews thirteen, where believers are told to obey those who watch for their souls and must give an account.

Bible Illiteracy, Ex-Baptists, and More Un-Words
Hiltibidal adds unconcerned, saying today's Christians are indifferent to their own families, their own spiritual growth, and the lost world around them, and ties the whole pattern to Laodicean self-interest, which he defines simply as being all about me. Goodwin illustrates how poorly Christians know scripture, recalling the verse "you'll know them by their fruit," often misapplied to any unconverted person when its context is actually a warning about false prophets like Jehovah's Witnesses. Hiltibidal recalls knocking doors decades ago in a West Texas oil town and finding that roughly one in five or six Mormon households he visited were former Baptists, evidence he says that churches were already failing to ground members in basic doctrine. Goodwin ties this failure to the Great Commission's three parts, going, baptizing, and teaching, arguing the church has failed at teaching. The men continue through unfaithful, covering prayer life, Bible reading, and faithfulness to spouses, children, and parents, and unwilling, describing churches that struggle to find members willing to serve, give, or sacrifice for anything beyond themselves.

Unchurched to Unaware: Closing the List
Hiltibidal works through the back half of his list: unchurched, tied to comfortable, seeker-friendly megachurches built to keep the bathwater lukewarm rather than hot or cold; uncommitted, describing Christians unwilling to pledge money or service to the church while readily signing loan papers for a new truck or a house; unscriptural, aimed at churches and preachers who shrug off departures from biblical practice as no big deal; and unsure, people who doubt their own assurance of salvation despite, Hiltibidal says, scripture's clear promise that believers can know they are born again. Goodwin adds unaware, linking it to a recent livestream discussion of the thief in the night from First Thessalonians chapter five, which Hiltibidal clarifies arrives unexpectedly only for the lost, not the saved. Running low on time, Goodwin races through unproductive, unseeing, unanchored, and ungrounded, then closes by insisting listeners do not have to be this kind of Christian, urging them to get active, contact the show if unsure of salvation, and keep their eyes on the skies.

Here's To Your Health with Joshua Lane with Joshua Lane

Disability Rights Victories and the Coming Food Crisis with David Geffen and John Klar

Joshua Lane talks with disability rights attorney David Geffen about landmark cases against the Los Angeles bus system and Disneyland, then turns to author and farmer John Klar about Lyme disease, regenerative agriculture, and his book The Coming Food Crisis.

Joshua Lane Introduces David Geffen
Joshua Lane opens Here's to Your Health by turning to disability rights, noting that the courts often force institutions to change how they treat disabled Americans. He welcomes David Geffen, an attorney, mediator and expert witness who has also lived with disability since age twenty-one. Geffen explains he never planned a legal career, though his father was a federal court magistrate and he grew up comfortable arguing legal questions at home. He intended to study psychology, and left UC Santa Cruz for Boston University's communications program. During a summer visit home, he dove into cold ocean water at a Santa Monica beach, hit a sandbar, and broke his fifth and sixth vertebrae, leaving him paralyzed from the chest down and dependent on a wheelchair ever since. After a six-month recovery, his father assured him that as long as he could think, read and write, he could still become a lawyer, so Geffen enrolled at Loyola Law School and opened his own practice.

Suing Los Angeles Over Bus Wheelchair Access
Geffen tells Lane that disability work found him rather than the other way around. After early years in employment discrimination cases, a colleague at a conference asked whether he handled disability rights, and Geffen realized he had been avoiding the label out of pride. He began taking smaller cases, helping a supermarket or a Rite Aid restroom become accessible, before complaints mounted against the Los Angeles public bus system. Riders in wheelchairs were being passed up at stops because drivers found loading them inconvenient, and some who did board had their wheelchairs left unsecured. Geffen recalls one client whose wheelchair tipped during a bus turn, breaking his shoulder, and who later died of pneumonia after the injury. ABC News asked Geffen for clients willing to go undercover with hidden cameras, and the footage was so damning that the station ran seven segments. The resulting pressure, building between 2009 and 2011, forced the MTA to retrain drivers, replace equipment and overhaul its culture toward disabled passengers.

Challenging Disneyland Over Segway Access
Geffen describes his first major case against a corporation rather than a city, representing a mother with muscular dystrophy who could stand and balance on a Segway but not walk unaided. The device let her join her children's activities for the first time, and when her daughter wanted an eighth birthday trip to Disneyland, she wrote ahead to confirm the Segway would be allowed. Disney refused, offering only a rental wheelchair, even though the company was itself a major Segway purchaser, using the devices in its own back lots and running Segway tours before park hours. Geffen's case lost at the trial court but won on appeal in a published decision establishing that disabled visitors are entitled not to minimal access but to full and equal enjoyment of a park, meaning businesses cannot force people to give up a safe mobility device. Geffen says people were shocked that Disney, known for customer-service innovation, had resisted such a simple accommodation for so long.

Joshua Lane Welcomes John Klar And The Coming Food Crisis
After a break, Lane turns to American farming, noting that foreign buyers are acquiring land, states like Iowa are losing population, and aging farmers are not being replaced by younger ones. He introduces John Klar, an attorney and environmentalist whose new book, The Coming Food Crisis: How Corporations, Activists, and Climate Alarmists Are Waging War on Farmers, is published by Skyhorse Publishing. Klar explains he was raised around dairy farms but trained as an international corporate tax attorney, never intending to farm himself. In 1998 he fell seriously ill with Lyme disease, developing a bull's-eye rash, a temperature of 104.5 degrees, bowel and brain problems, and what was later diagnosed as fibromyalgia. He says some researchers trace Lyme disease to Plum Island bioweapons research tied to Operation Paperclip, though he stresses the full history may never be confirmed and he would rather find a cure than assign blame. After twelve years of antibiotics failed him, he and his family bought a former Vermont dairy farm, beginning his education in food system vulnerabilities.

Iowa's Farm Crisis And The Rise Of Regenerative Agriculture
Klar explains that after twelve years on antibiotics failed to resolve his illness, he shifted to better food, sleep and hydration, eventually discovering Wendell Berry's book The Unsettling of America around 2005, which reframed how he saw farming and corporate power. In 2016 he fought Vermont regulators over on-farm slaughter, refusing to stop selling halves of beef and ultimately winning expanded local processing rights. Lane asks about Iowa, where Klar says aging farmers, rural population loss and some of the nation's highest cancer rates coincide with heavy conventional corn and soy production. He points to Zach Wahls, a young regenerative farmer challenging a sitting Republican congressman endorsed by Donald Trump in a primary race Klar calls politically seismic, though polling shows Wahls trailing a Democratic opponent backed by more than eleven and a half million dollars from agricultural interests. Klar argues Iowa could lead the country toward regenerative farming as an economic opportunity rather than a fringe idea, benefiting both rural communities and public health.

Food Politics, MAHA, And A Divided Nation
Klar tells Lane that health has become political in a new way, arguing that Americans increasingly distrust official dietary advice on eggs, meat, dairy and infant formula, and that corporations behaved like tobacco companies in marketing products such as hydrogenated margarine over butter. He cites 181,000 Americans who sued over glyphosate and non-Hodgkin lymphoma before legal immunity was granted, and recalls how public anger once forced regulators to rename pink slime as ground beef rather than remove it. Lane raises Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s tenure as Secretary of Health and Human Services, and Klar credits him with elevating food policy regardless of personal controversies, while crediting Donald Trump for giving him the opportunity. Klar separates the political MAHA movement from a broader, lasting shift in younger Americans' eating habits, and argues both parties have been captured by industrial agriculture interests. Lane agrees the issue transcends partisanship, and the two close by having Klar direct listeners to his book, his Substack Small Farm Republic, and Skyhorse Publishing, before Lane signs off and invites guest suggestions by email.

The Power of Synergy with Gabrielle Cardona

Synchronize to Synergize: The TIP Method, Functional Levels, and Principles for a High-Quality Life

Gabrielle Cardona hosts solo this week, breaking down her TIP diagnostic method, the Myers-Briggs functional levels that govern daily energy, and the goal-setting and emotional-management principles she uses to coach clients toward synergy.

A Relationship Coach Explains Her Niche
Gabrielle Cardona opens The Power of Synergy explaining that she has coached for twenty-three years, starting as a general life coach before specializing in relationships. She says that whatever topic clients brought her, career friction, weight struggles, or money management, the underlying cause always traced back to personal relationship issues. She introduces her diagnostic acronym TIP, standing for topic, issue, and problem, arguing that the situation people describe is only the surface topic, with a deeper issue and an even deeper problem preventing resolution. Cardona recalls her very first paying client, a Mormon district attorney who offered her sixty dollars an hour if she could explain why his seemingly perfect life felt unhappy. Using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, she discovers he is an INTJ working a verbally demanding legal job despite being an introvert, and helps him realize his thinking runs extroverted while his intuition runs introverted. He eventually leaves practicing law to teach it, and later arranges a speaking engagement for Cardona before two hundred fifty Phoenix professionals.

Dominant, Auxiliary, Tertiary, and Inferior Functions
After a break, Cardona explains the four levels of personality functionality using her daughter, an ENFJ, as an example. She shows that the last letter of a type reveals which middle letter is extroverted, making extroverted feeling the daughter's dominant function, introverted intuition her auxiliary, extroverted sensing her tertiary, and introverted thinking her inferior, since the tertiary and inferior are always the polar opposites of the auxiliary and dominant. She compares the four levels to breathing, eating, walking, and running, recommending roughly eight hours daily on the dominant function, four on the auxiliary, two to three on the tertiary, and only one to two on the inferior, warning that overusing the inferior function is like running while forgetting to breathe. She illustrates how an ENFJ and her brother, an ISTP whose functions run in the opposite order, can support each other by letting each person handle the activities that come most naturally to their own personality.

Defining Goals and Honoring Personality Type
Cardona outlines her goal-setting formula: define the destination specifically, honestly assess where a person currently stands, and recognize that personality determines how someone travels toward that goal, since driving, flying, walking, and biking are not interchangeable. She recalls a man in his sixties, a retired actuary at Kaiser Permanente, who told her he suspected he had been doing the wrong thing for forty-five years after retiring and divorcing. Testing him, she finds he is an INFP, a nurturing, sensitive, profound personality type despite decades spent in an ESTJ-style corporate job and a cultural upbringing that discouraged nurturing in Jewish men. She tells him his relationship needs run counter to everything his background taught him, comparing him to what Mexican culture calls a mandilón, low-maintenance and endlessly emotionally generous. She notes that NF personality types, INFP, ENFJ, ENFP, and INFJ, make up roughly thirteen percent of the population and are often expected to behave the way society expects women to behave.

Facing Challenges and the Joy of Asking for Help
Cardona turns to inevitable challenges, urging listeners to prepare for them rather than be surprised, especially if they are introverts who may not instinctively share their needs with loved ones. She repeats her founding principle that there is no neutral energy, meaning every person has an effect even on those they are not directly interacting with, and argues that asking someone for help gives that person the joy and fulfillment of giving rather than burdening them. She frames mutual appreciation, respect, and trust as what makes that exchange empowering for both sides. Cardona then cautions that lasting change takes time, advising listeners to adjust how much time they spend on their dominant and auxiliary functions by only five to ten percent at a time so the new habit can take hold gradually rather than collapsing under too much change too quickly. She promises to return with more specific, practical steps for improving quality of life with the people who share it.

Self-Care, Hard Emotions, and Daily Affirmations
Returning to the air, Cardona revisits the classic image of putting an oxygen mask on oneself before helping others, warning that some people twist that idea into an excuse for selfishness rather than a tool for better service to others. She names three common struggles her clients bring her: managing reactive emotions, shifting into a more positive mindset, and running low on energy. She reframes anxiety, fear, and anger as useful signals rather than problems, explaining that anxiety warns something could go wrong, fear warns something is going wrong right now, and anger signals that something has already gone wrong and needs repair. She then teaches an affirmation exercise, instructing listeners to write at least ten present-tense, complimentary statements in a one-to-three ratio, one fully believed, one half-believed, and one not believed but desired, posted in at least seven spots around their environment and read aloud five times daily to gradually rewire negative thinking into something healthier.

Closing Principles for a Synergized Life
In the closing segment, Cardona lists the universal principles she teaches every client. Communication should be honest without being brutal, telling the whole truth while still caring how the other person feels. People should give more than they take, remembering there is more joy in giving than receiving, while still accepting help graciously and paying it forward rather than refusing support out of stubborn pride. She insists positive energy is more powerful than negative and, though contagious, will occasionally repel people who are uncomfortable around it, which does not make it any less worth choosing. Her final principle, surrender to nature, asks listeners to accept what they cannot control, apologize when wrong, and extend appreciation, respect, and trust to the people around them. Cardona closes by reminding listeners that power carries responsibility and accountability, that no one should underestimate their own personal power, and that synchronizing with others creates synergy that can make the world better, before signing off until next week on BBS Radio.

Tony Alamo

The Marriage Supper of the Lamb, a Heretic Named Marcel, and Vatican Plots Behind 9/11

World Pastor Tony Alamo opens program 281 of How to Have God's Life Living in You with prayer, a duet recording with J.D. Sumner and the Stamps Quartet, and listener testimonials read by co-host Sharon, then teaches through Luke's parable of the marriage supper of the Lamb while denouncing a defector named Marcel and blaming the Vatican for the September 11th attacks, the Oklahoma City bombing, and Waco.

Program 281 Opens With Prayer and Free Offers
Tony Alamo opens program 281, part 179 of his series How to Have God's Life Living in You, reminding listeners that tapes, CDs, Bibles, and his literature go out free of charge with no postage or handling charged to them. He says a radio schedule will be inserted with any order and promises testimonials, music, and scripture reading throughout the hour. Alamo leads an opening prayer thanking God for being born in a manger lying in hay, calling the setting itself a sign that even modern listeners would recognize as extraordinary, a newborn king wrapped in strips of swaddling cloth rather than housed among the affluent. He asks that souls be saved, that the church be strengthened, and that those about to fall away be renewed in spirit, insisting there is no truth in the world outside of God's word. Co-host Sharon answers each petition with 'Amen' before the program moves to music.

A Duet With J.D. Sumner and Dire Warnings
Alamo introduces a recording of I, John, a song he made years earlier with gospel legend J.D. Sumner and the Stamps Quartet, explaining that the lyrics come from the Book of Revelation's description of the New Jerusalem, which he identifies as the born-again church, the bride of Christ. After the performance plays, Alamo returns to warn that the visions John saw are coming soon, telling listeners the whole earth will turn into what he calls a nightmare because of what humanity has done to it. He says the Lord foresaw all of it roughly two thousand years ago and wrote it into Revelation so that nothing happening today is a surprise to Him. Alamo describes a universe that currently runs like clockwork, sun and moon and tides in order, before predicting it will all go chaotic, with the moon turning to blood, the sun refusing to shine, falling meteorites, hundred-pound hailstones, and earthquakes that knock the planet off its axis.

Sharon Reads Testimonials From Across the Country
Sharon reads through a stack of listener responses to Alamo's Dry Bones literature and other tracts placed in newspapers around the country. A woman named Johnnie in Houston found the piece in the Houston Chronicle and wants to become a distributor; a pastor named Paul in Santee, California saw it in the Orange County Register and wants Messiah books to help win Muslims to Christ; a man named Oscar in New York read it in the New York Daily News, an ad Alamo says cost roughly fifty thousand dollars for a page and a half. Sharon also relays a Los Angeles vacationer named Henning who found the tract on the ground at a mall, a Chesterfield, Missouri man named Donald who read it in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and a Tustin, California caller named Mr. Holliday who saw it in the Orange County Register and wants to tithe. Alamo credits newspapers, not television, with reaching sinners most gospel tracts never touch.

Alamo Answers Claims That He Is Alone
Alamo addresses an accusation, which he attributes to a man named Marcel in France, that the ministry has withered since his wife Susie's death in April 1982 and that he now stands alone. He insists the work is far larger than it was in Susie's lifetime and that he is never alone, citing the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and congregants who have stayed with him for thirty-seven years. He recounts that Marcel and two other men, identified as Bob and Neil Payne, tried to undermine his Los Angeles church by disputing his teaching that a woman's long hair, not a separate head covering, fulfills scripture, forcing him to sail back from Europe on the QE2 to address it. Alamo calls Marcel a heretic for letting false claims stand unchallenged and says he answers only to the Lord, not to newer members, comparing his own calling to the Apostle Paul's direct commission from Christ rather than instruction from other apostles.

Luke 14 and the Marriage Supper of the Lamb
Turning to the fourteenth chapter of Luke, Alamo has Sharon read the parable of the wedding feast, using it to argue that the Lord invites the lowly, shepherds and beggars, rather than the elite who make excuses about land, oxen, or new marriages. He widens the lesson into a broader claim that the Vatican, which he calls the seat of the Antichrist, orchestrated the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center, the Oklahoma City federal building bombing, and the deaths at Waco, crediting President Clinton's acceptance of responsibility for Waco as proof. He describes being turned away from the Vatican by Swiss Guards carrying submachine guns when he tried to witness to the Pope, and contrasts the Pope's armored vehicles and heavy security with his own fearlessness, which he attributes to the Holy Spirit. He urges wealthy listeners to repent and become distributors of his literature instead of staying with what he calls their garbage and computers.

A Sinner's Prayer and Closing Song
Sharon continues reading Luke fourteen through the servant sent into the highways and hedges to compel guests in, and the warning that none who were first invited will taste the supper. Alamo teaches that the Lord's house still has room for anyone willing to count the cost of discipleship, even those the world considers winos, beggars, or sinners. He closes the hour leading listeners in a spoken sinner's prayer confessing Jesus Christ as the Son of the living God and asking for cleansing in his blood, then tells them to raise their hands and thank the Lord for salvation. Sharon gives four ways to request tape or CD copies of program 281: the alamoministries.com website, the Texarkana, Texas post office box, and the ministry's phone and fax numbers. Alamo signs off as World Pastor Tony Alamo, asking God to bless listeners, before his recording of His Name Is Wonderful plays to close the broadcast.
