ONE DAY CLOSER with Mark & Dave

We have waited and waited.  Finally!  The common sense, right-minded adults are back in charge! So before we say another word...let’s pray for our New Commander in Chief.  That he and his staff would hear from God Almighty as to how to lead this country back to God, back to sound Common Sense decision making based on Godly Wisdom and Righteous pursuit of fairness, justice and Godly leadership. By...

Today, we are going to take a look at the significance or symbolism of numbers in the Bible.   First a bit of history regarding numerology.  The earliest records of Numerology came from Egyptian and Babylonian civilizations, but there are also signs of its use in ancient Rome, China, Greece, and Japan. Pythagoras, the Greek philosopher, is often credited with modern numerology. Biblical numerology...

The Copper Scroll from Qumran is a unique Dead Sea Scroll, written on copper sheets, that is believed to be a list of hiding places for large quantities of gold and silver treasure, a "treasure map" detailing locations across the Judea wilderness where these valuables were buried. Scholars debate whether the treasure actually exists or if the scroll is a fictional account, but its crypti...

We are ten days away from the official inauguration of Trump 47 and already, we are talking about expanding this great country of ours.  Forget Canada.  I'm talking about Greenland.   Join us today for some great news for a change.  We're going to call this the “MAGA NEWS” block, and for a refreshing change, the news will all be uplifting, positive and hopeful. By end of day on the 20th,...

Today we are going to attempt to compare two pictures or stories, one from years gone by and one that is most recent and occurs every year, to see if we can wring any more drops of practical wisdom from the story of Joshua at the walls of Jericho, that could change our lives for the better in the new year. The story of Joshua leading the Israelites to bring down the walls of Jericho is a powerful...

HAPPY NEW YEAR everybody!  Welcome to 2025!  We’re all ALIVE and it’s time to THRIVE! 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...

Let's make ourselves Bigger and More.   For the last 4 years, these tyrannical, world-contolling cartoon villains have been trying to suppress us, to make us smaller and less.  All during Covid they were saying "Stay home.  Don't go out.  Keep your kids home from school.  Be afraid.  Restrict your holidays.  Mask up.  Don't visit grandma.  Keep your friends at a distance."...

Back in August, we took a closer look at Covenant Relationships and what they mean.  We thought it might be worth repeating as we enter into the new year. In our show entitled “Our Encounter with a Messenger” (E 169); Michael the Messenger left us with this instruction:  “Study Covenant Relationships.” So we did. There are FIVE foundational Covenants with man in the Bible. Noahic Covenant Abrahami...

Today we have a special show for you.  We wanted to share a highly anointed program that the TV series The Chosen put together a year or so ago entitled "Christmas with the Chosen: Holy Night. What we have assembled here are a few of the songs they played and a few of the stories they shared about the River Jordan and the Dead Sea, with the goal being to simply pay-the-blessing-forward in the...

Mark shares a few stories about the history of Christmas trees, the Elf on the Shelf and Ol' Saint Nick. Dave brings a story about the symbolism in an ancient tale about an old fashion Candy Cane Christmas  in the second half of the show.  So bake some cookies, light the fire and gather the kids for a great Candy Cane Christmas story. Once again, as a suggestion for those still seeking a last...

As we draw near to sunsetting 2024 and look forward to a bright new year, we'll reflect on a few "firsts" we all endured under the current administration and celebrate the positives we are enjoying, even prior to Trumps inauguration. If you're still looking for last minute gift ideas for your adult kids, nieces, nephews or family members, Dave has a suggestion for you.  Conside...

Today Dave interviews Mark to find out more about Rachel and how long their email faith exchange went on before she saw the light.  This is an inspiring story of one women's desire to find the Truth despite the risk and cost to her family and her children. Send us Fan Mail

Sometimes we are blessed enough to touch another life and see its full impact.  Many years ago a Hassidic woman from another state reached out to Mark thru' email who was full of curiosity and questions.  By God's guidance ('cause Mark ain't that smart) two miracles occurred and we are left with an inspiring story. Send us Fan Mail

Join us today as we kick around a few encounters we've had with Atheist and Agnostics on the topic of God.  It's a challenging one to be sure. It goes a lot easier if they are sincerely inquisitive or curious.  But if their intentions are combative, it could be a frustrating afternoon. But first, we'll finish our discussion about the Temple Institute and their quest to restoring anc...

We hope you had a blessed and peaceful Gratitude Day with friends and family. Today we'll cover quite a few topics from Rachel Maddow's massive salary cut from MSNBC to WHO are the Puppeteers behind the curtain making decisions for Joe?  Who authorized long-range missiles to Ukraine and what were they thinking?  Are these actions really supportive of a smooth transition of power or somet...

"Gratitude changes the pangs of memory into a tranquil joy."  -Deitrich Bonhoeffer "Gratitude produces deep, abiding joy because we know that God is working in us, even through difficulties."  -Charles Stanley "The grateful heart is like a magnet sweeping over the day, collecting reasons for gratitude."  -Max Lucado “Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every...

Seriously...how did we allow the appointment of sticky fingers to be in charge of nuclear waste...when all he cared about was stealing luggage at airports and wearing the stolen ladies clothes in public?  What were we thinking? Or how about Rachel Levine?  The He/She Admiral in charge of Health Services.  Most people when they put on dress whites with all the ribbons...looks pretty impressive.  No...

Today we quickly explore how Trumps appointments will prove to be the future AVENGERS of the GOLDEN AGE of AMERICA.  There's a lot of hope in this discussion so don't miss it. With courage and insight to share, we will step out into the deep water of RACISM and expose why some keep talking about it like it's a big deal.  You would think that even Joy Reid would have learned by now,...

Viewership fell sharply within 24 hours of Trumps victory at ALL of the main stream legacy media outlets.  MSNBC, according to reports, enjoyed six million viewers per day.  On Thursday, two days after the election, they had 600,000.   A loss of 5.4 million viewers.  The others weren’t far behind. If they were smart, they would immediately come clean and admit the errors of their ways.  Surely the...

Today, Mark and I want to speak to the folks that may be struggling with the election outcome...by gently and sincerely...helping with detox. We aren't making fun, but rather, acknowledging that the election results may affect many households, households that were divided on who to choose.  We'll try to highlight many of the good changes that are coming that we should all be able to get...

What a historical event we are witnessing!  The greatest vindication and comeback in American history! First Republican President in 20 years to win the popular vote! First Republican to win Miami - Dade county in 36 years (Hispanics love Trump) 45% of New York Jews voted for Trump. Trump has defeated the Bush dynasty, the Clinton dynasty, the Biden dynasty, main stream media, Hollywood celebritie...

Seeing as how the woke has their acronym, Dave has introduced the conservative acronym thanks to Democrats and the names they call us.  But seriously, we recap this year's historic campaign and provide some good news on officials and citizens exposing the cheating even before election day.  So don't give up hope.  We all have to vote.  We have to overcome the cheating, Swamp the Swamp, a...

Heavenly Father.  We come to you in prayer today, knowing that You are more than the God of the Universe, you are ALSO the God of Love, Peace, Compassion and Justice .  Four attributes of you AND of your making, that today, have withered on the vine, and must be restored for mankind to continue to survive and thrive in any land. Over millennium, man has struggled to understand just who we are in Y...

In todays show, we will discuss and demonstrate that words and actions truly matter. In the real world, when you are interviewing for a job, it's quite common to be asked by the hiring manager, "based on previous experiences, give me an example of a challenge you faced in your last position that was difficult to address and how you approached the issue and what were the results." Th...

Our text today (Revelation 16:12-16) as we explore scriptures surrounding Har-Magedon, should help us understand what Armageddon is; where is it located; what will happen there; and when will it begin. First, Har-Magedon is a Hebrew compound word, meaning “mountain of Megiddo,” which is located in North central Israel.   Many mountains come together to form this great valley.  In this valley many...
