Hello folks, this is Princess. You are listening to the Millennial Mustard Seed podcast. Thanks for listening. Don't forget to share with your friends. Welcome back to the Millennial Mustard Seed. Thank you for being here with me. This is not an interview episode, this is just going to be me talking. So if you like that kind of thing, stick around, which it seems to be like many of you around the world do. It's been a while since I caught you guys up with some behind the scenes stuff.

I want to spend a little bit of time with you guys today going over some reviews and behind the scenes information as well as some things that have happened publicly over the last few months, even the last year. I don't even know how long it's been since I did one of these kind of episodes, but I think that it's genuine for me to spend some time reflecting and, and like I said, going through this stuff with you guys since there's so many of you taking this journey with me.

So we'll knock out a couple of the big things right up front. I was humbled and honored to have been asked by the one and only Doctor Laura Sanger to write an endorsement for her newest book, Generation Hoodwinked the impact of the Nephilim agenda today. And I was actually texting with Doctor Laura last night and I'm like, Yo, you got to come back on this podcast and we got to talk about your book.

Man. I'm super humbled because she sent me a copy months and months ago before it ever went to production for me to read through and able to give. And then asked me to give this endorsement, which is printed on the back of the book with a list of other people where when I was reading through some of the names. I'm like, Lord, I feel real small right now. I don't know if I belong on this this list, man, but God works in

mysterious ways. And that that's that's been pretty cool to see that just how God worked all that together and how instrumental doctor Laura has been in my life personally just over the years. And man, that that's a big deal for me. But yeah, I highly recommend you guys get a copy of her book, Generation Hoodwinks. Go grab it on Amazon. It's definitely worth your time. The way that she pulls it all together.

And with what's going on in the world today, if you have eyes to see and ears to hear, it's going to make sense to you. That's the fact. You know, in case you guys didn't know, Doctor Laura did endorse my book The Words Are Salt that got released in the very beginning of this year in February. Yes, she she writes this, this really beautiful and long and powerful endorsement for me. And she prophesied over my poem called his way back in 21 or 22 really bad with precise timelines.

But somewhere, somewhere around there, I read it to her after an interview. We're off air and she just starts worshipping and praising God and prophesied and says this is going to go out to all four corners of the country. And then it's also going to go out into the world and call the wayward home and, and take the faithful even higher. I would like to say that that never despise small beginnings, you guys, because at the time I, I didn't have the concept to

actually write a book. I was just collecting my poetry, my personal stuff for my children to pass it down to them to show them this is what your father was thinking and experiencing and, and you got to remember it. Maybe you guys don't know this, but a couple of these poems in particular, I'm being woken up at 3:00 in the morning dreams or visions and, and I'm worshipping God or God is just waking me up and telling me and pressing upon my heart.

And I'm being told you need to write down what what you're experiencing right now. And that's, that's how his way was produced. Bodies was produced that way. I'm so I really do feel like this is for followers of the way out there, you know, people who are really in just in TuneIn the humility and and teachability, but then also seekers, man, you know, we're not just going to nod our head and say yes and

Amen to anything. Any of these Christian cultivators and influencers out there saying we're going to actually test it to see if it's true. Do the study. You know, it's, it's fascinating to me that some people will will start to parrot the information that that God has already told me years ago today. And though, and you know, they're like, Hey, you need to

be aware of this. And I just sit back in the in the background and smile and say that listen, there's no cracks in my foundation because I base everything in my trust in the way that I move on the one name that is above every name. I know myself. I know that I'm fallible. I know that I'm a Sinner. I know what my tendencies are and the enemy has no no problems exploiting that. He studied me just like he studies you proficiently.

But God, and so we really need to just have more discussions, you guys and keep each other in prayer and have this bond, this mindset of humility where not all of us have everything right. You know, it doesn't matter who it is. We all have a little something wrong. But I do like highlighting what people have right.

And that's why, you know, I recognize specifically with Doctor Laura asking me to write that endorsement, that was, I was in humility because I, I understand what she's doing. I know what lens and perspective she's moving through and how we have a generation of people that are suffocated.

It was such a systematic desensitization over the minds, the life through frequency, through food, through just everything in this tangible environment has been positioned to attack us in a way that it's hard for people to wrap their head around. And Doctor Lars work makes that easy to understand for every generation. The next thing I'm going to kind of dive into is, man, I get a

lot of emails from you guys. I get, I get emails, messages, you know, through Facebook, through Instagram, through Telegram and then just your basic e-mail and and I don't always get back to everybody. And that's not intentional. That's not intentional. I mean, I, I literally look through and I'm like, yo, how did I miss this one? So I try to respond to all of you guys. I don't know if you always get my response either.

I feel like AI is really been messing with with my broadcast and with my personal equipment for a long time. That's nothing new, but man, talk about when it's, it's imperative. It, it feels like stuff just goes wrong. I see what you guys are sending me. I'm reading the messages, the emails. I just might not always get back to you in a timely matter. I wish you guys could just see how crazy this is. Like I'm working as much as I possibly can, doing the subcontracting work right now.

And then family and and the newborn babe, right? And there's just all this stuff going on. And then here I am writing this documentary, writing the layout, you know, getting everything, all the, the tea, the T's need to be crossed, the i's need to be dotted. And this is a long and learning curve process. And then the podcast, which you guys get on at minimum a weekly basis. And there's not enough time in a

day. You know, it's funny to me because I don't get leisure time, I don't get hobby time. I, I don't get to just chill and sit back. I really do grind out, man. And then I need to always carve out time, obviously to get in the presence of the Lord and fall onto my face and just be corrected by the Lord. The Spirit is my teacher. And there's certain things where I'm like, man, I just shake my head at that.

I felt so confident about that. But now God is like, you didn't ask me and I got disapproval for you. And so like there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes where I'm not always able to just respond the minute you guys send me something and, and have a good answer for you. But I do see it. And that's the purpose of me kind of giving you that backlog to let you know, you know what I mean? There's, there's really nothing

that goes outside of my radar. If it has to do with the ministry that God gave me. I'm I'm aware of everything. We got like 90 plus reviews on Spotify 4.9. That's dope. Now, if you're on Spotify, you can actually interact and look at the comments. You can vote on the polls. There's conversations that take place in the comments on the different episodes only on the Spotify app. But if you're an Apple person, which is predominantly most of our downloads come from Apple

podcasts. I'm going to read a couple messages. So August 28th of this year we have it says love the message. I got a four-star, but it says please stop. Playing music while people are talking is just so distracting and frustrating. I have to stop listening or Fast forward. Yet I want to hear all the words so badly. And sometimes it seems like you take over and talk more than your guests and they're just silent waiting to talk.

For example, Doctor Natalie's episode, I don't want to be critical and of course, I can just choose not to listen, but I want to listen to this and it's just hard at times. I have full appreciation for what you're doing with this Pockets. Thank you for that review and thank you for stating the way that you feel about it. You know, if there's a tidal wave of of people out there listening that feel the same way, then I'll consider

producing it differently. And just just, you know, to let you know, sometimes it'll lag and it seems like there's a Dead Space in the conversation when you're interviewing somebody. So they might be talking, but there's a lag in the recording. And I think that they just, they've been quiet for the last 15 seconds and it's, and it's like awkward that I'm supposed to pick up the conversation and start reciprocating them.

So sometimes you get a little bit of that interference where it seems like maybe we're talking over each other or I'm talking too much. So keep that in mind. But thank you for that review. I really do appreciate it. Then we have June 22nd. It says worth it. Just found this podcast. It's everything I need. True spirituality and the fringe Rod is actually humble. This is a great mix of vital information that keeps us from

dying for lack of knowledge. Thank you for that five star review from Worth it. That's that's cool. I love the fact that we have a huge influx of new listeners. I don't know if this podcast is everything you need to be honest with you, but but I do appreciate you saying it that way. True spirituality. I hope, hope so. The fringe for sure. I contend to be humble. I do wrestle my flesh and I put

myself in that position. I really appreciate that because, you know, I think you kind of hit hit it on the head. I try to keep the information a vital mix of what we need. I try to pair it always, always in the word of God trying to make sense. Is this what people need to hear? Are these things that I used to wrestle with and couldn't find answers for as does this make sense? So thank you for that five stars. Worth it. April 7th, a new favorite podcast.

Thanks for this bold and honest content. There is so much truth delivered with honored and integrity. Thank you for that five stars. Plain simple, right to the point. I love that kind of review. I do believe this is bold and honest content and I try to deliver truth by the power of the Spirit and hopefully with honor and integrity. I mean, I don't know how to do anything other than what God is calling me, how to do with my face down those days. December 29th of this year last

year. I'm sorry. So this is the this is where we're going back to 2023 out-of-the-box. This is an out-of-the-box podcast for warriors. If you listen, the battle will be you against your presuppositions, assumptions in the sense of reality. Because earnestly seeking truth more often involves releasing your own lies than learning something new. Yet here you will both acquire new knowledge and confront the lies which you never knew you

believed. In short, you will never look at the world around you in the same way. Welcome to the awakening. Praise yah for waking these warriors. Listen out-of-the-box. I really appreciate that. I'm glad that you see it that way. I'm hoping that other people fall succinctly in with that mindset. I do believe what I'm doing is out-of-the-box because I'm not

copycatting anybody. This is an original podcast and I hope to just keep it exactly the way it should be according to what God is asking me to do. I love that review out-of-the-box from December 29th of last year. Let's go to November 14th of last year. It says excellent podcast is the title. It says, hi, Rod. Thanks for your willingness to talk about these subjects and get these, get this important information spread. I appreciate what you're doing.

Many blessings for your future, Marie. Thank you, Marie, for that excellent review that you left me on Apple Podcast. I really do appreciate that, you know, when you guys write a review, when people look us UI think we just hit 100 yeah, 105 star reviews on ale podcast, which is which is crazy cool. When people look us U and they start to see and and they do a little investigation. What are other people saying about this show and they read

these reviews. It gives them an idea of the different perspectives that that are out there and how people are handling the information and what they think about me as a host, what they think about what God is doing through this podcast. Is God actually speaking to them? Is he the center of the stage?

All of these things are what you guys get to, you know, kind of be a first line of of encouragement or endorsement to the rest of the world around us. So I love when you guys write me honest written reviews, even if it's a four-star now. I mean, come on, no three stars, no two stars, no one stars.

You guys, if you understand how hard it is to produce this kind of content, scheduling and reading people's material and praying about it and, and man, a lot of time to investigate to make sure you're making sense and you're giving good information. And then you're responsible for the information that you're putting out there.

And then you're scheduling the interviews And on top of that, then you're you're going through the fear of talking with these great intellectual minds, wrestling through ideas and concepts, striving to pull out all the details you possibly can while recording all of it and making sure none of it fails. And then you take all that material and you do a post production on it, right? I mean, it's a lot of work.

So I don't believe in three star reviews unless it's just a straight up garbage podcast that you're using with your cell phone and there's zero effort put into it. So I appreciate you guys when you leave me that five star because that really makes a difference. Like I said, if you knew how much work it was to create this kind of content year after year after year, if you've seen the dedication behind the scenes, man, it would be 5 stars all

day. And you guys would probably be helping and supporting in many more ways than most of you already do. There's some of you who are supporting this podcast on a monthly basis now. I'm hoping that I'm not stepping on any toes because I'm going to read a couple names. So we have 6 monthly supporters right now. I'm not going to say how much you guys are supporting dollar amount, but the options are a dollar $5 or $10, which is only available through the link for

Spotify for podcasters. But I'm going to try to go in order of when people started supporting. So the longest supporter is actually my best friend Nick, long holistic Nick. So shout out to him, man. He's been supporting. He's actually the first person to ever come on and and support this podcast monetarily. So big shout out and love to him, man. And then Cornea Hart, hopefully I said your name right. Thank you so much for supporting this podcast. Berlin newbie, thank you so much.

Steve Rittenhouse, thank you for supporting this podcast. Angela Costanzo, hopefully I said Julia's name right. Thank you so much for supporting this podcast. And Amanda Higgs, you guys are a blessing. Man, between all of you and the way that you guys support the show, we're right around that $50.00 a month that covers the Wi-Fi. So you guys are amazing because man, I've been in need for quite a while now.

So just relieving that that pressure and helping that need to be met is a big deal, especially when you are contending against the powers of darkness to expose the genitalia of the darkness and bring the light into the world. Man, it is super dope to have people come alongside of you and just say I believe in what you're doing here. Here's a little bit of my appreciation. So I'm hoping that increases. Want to give a shout out to Terry Allen for being a faithful supporter, man.

He every single week sends in some funds through PayPal. Man, I just want to recognize you, brother, and just thank you for what you're doing to help progress this ministry that the Lord has given me. I also want to give a shout out to Carly and Prince Tubs. You guys have helped behind the scenes, especially Carly with details of the show notes, making sure my spelling is correct because I cannot spell

to save my life. And so when you guys step it up and and come in and help along the way, I really appreciate the shout out to Enoch from the rundown of our reality. And by the way, when I post an episode that's ROAR ROOR, it's the acronym rundown of our reality.

So when you see those episodes pop up, it's a shout out to him because he's doing the video audio full scale production and that is his material that he is very adamant about me using when I see it fit together with the narrative and and the information that's needed to be boosted here on the podcast. So thankful for everybody else who's been praying for us and supporting. We've gotten a lot of one time donations from people out there. I know Isaiah, shout out to you,

man. You send money in when you can through I believe the Chime app, man, I really do appreciate you doing that. All of you who believe in the Kingdom Land Project, and that is a big conversation that's been happening behind closed doors. I don't know if I want to publicly talk about everything that that entails because I don't want the enemy to know all the details. And I know the enemy listens to a lot of what I do, man. And he tries to hinder plans.

And the vision that we have is nothing that's ever been done before. I believe it's going to start on a micro scale, on a small scale and eventually build and be able to be recreated in other areas. Heaven is issuing out some very interesting decrees for what's coming in the future. It seems impossible but that is why we walk by faith and not by sight. There's many of you that donated

anonymously. When Carly Tabs was doing my introductions because I had temporarily lost my voice from shouting and making declaration while occupying in Lebanon, PAA few months back, I literally lost my voice for a couple days. And you guys out there anonymously donated to get the microphone established. There's a couple of you that really just blessed me and helped me through that process.

So I don't always know your name because if you guys donate in such a way and you don't send an e-mail saying, hey, this is me, this is what I did, which is OK, you don't have to do that. But if you don't, I can't really know who you are or get in contact with you. But I'm thankful for you and just everybody else along the way, you guys, it does not go unnoticed. Even the people who have been supporting secretly all of these years, man, God sees your heart.

He knows what's going on. There's ministries that I want to support and there's things that I believe in. And literally when the overflow comes to me, I try to kick that back into other areas secretly. And we're going through a bit of a dry spell right now. So continue to pray for us and if you feel LED, if there's there's some millionaire out there who's listening, who believes in what I'm doing, the Bible says if you are rich to do good. So we might need you to do some good.

I'm not asking for you to cut me a check, but if you believe in this ministry, I want you to come partner with me, see the vision and work with me step by step so we can bring down what is being showed to God's people at this point in time. And even in the midst of loss, there's still joy because there's belief and there's faith in the one name. Jesus has a plan and he's working this stuff together. The next thing is I'm not going to read all these emails, you

guys. I'm not going to read them all. But we've gotten encouraging and emails that are just, man, could shed a tear if I was to read them out to you guys. And then we got some skeptical ones and I got some other ones where I'm like, man, I don't even know what's going on with this person. I don't know. I ain't trying to reciprocate this for any means. But so a mix of a little bit of everything, but I'm not going to

spend the time doing all that. The offer that I decided to temporarily turn down was with a, a network. It's a sports agency. They wanted to acquire the podcast and keep me exclusively with them offering to pay more money. You know, there's all these benefits, but then I didn't have creative control to the extent I wanted. Big shout out to Carly Tubbs and Prince Tubbs and Nick Long for praying and then Carly, you know, helping to kind of layout the contract.

And, you know, we thoroughly went over and she showed me the pros and the cons. And I really just at this time felt like, man, I'm going to be at a standstill with this. I, I don't feel like I'm being called at this season right now to do something like that. So I just want to let you guys know we are relying on the listeners to step their game up.

If we're getting 10,000 downloads a month and six people are supporting this show, maybe I'm going to need to start doing some exclusive content where you guys are going to have to pay who are not already paying to actually access all of these recordings. Because honestly, it's just a

lot of work. And you know, if I'm turning down a deal because I want the creative control and I want you guys to at least be safe with me having the overview, you know, being that God gave me this ministry and I'm the creator, the founder and the creator of this entire thing. And I've been working behind the scenes year after year to

produce this for you guys. I don't really want to hand that over to somebody else and lose creative control or to lose the ability of, of how to do things and when to do what. So that's why I've turned it down currently at this time. We've grown significantly over the years, started out back in 2020 with like 5 to 7 downloads a week. But I've never been a numbers guy. I don't allow numbers to determine how much effort or the

heart that I put into this. But man, I would say now, you know, we're at the point where I really do believe God is showing me that this is going to be a big part of the future of media. Yeah, you can laugh if you want because I'm just a little French Christian podcaster and I just said that I'm going to be a huge part of the future media. The current media I'm totally in disagreement with. I don't, I don't like the way that information is being delivered.

I believe in Kingdom media, which we'll get into that another time. But for the sake of just building a little background on what I mean when I say media millennial must have seen media, M3. Do you imagine that if you know who dropped me and you know what God is giving me, let's just say I'll be bigger than the people that let me go at some point because that is how God works, man. He can grow it and bring it together into his perfect timing. We're seeing those growth patterns.

We're seeing God literally change the construction of the way that my life works and causing me to walk by faith and giving me opportunities and you know, from releasing my book to endorsing another book to international broadcast. So now, you know, we're doing this documentary and that is just what is publicized behind the scenes. Oh Lord, it's going to be interesting what happens in the

future. Man, if you guys like these kind of episodes where you get to hear my thoughts, you get to hear a little bit more of what's going on, send me an e-mail, give me a confirmation, let me know if you don't like it. Just don't say nothing. And that's how that's how I'll gauge this one. Well, that's it for this little behind the scenes me catching you guys up episode.

If you like this, if you enjoy everything I've been doing here on this podcast, then share these episodes with a friend, family member, with a Co worker, with your pastor. Come and see from Southeastern Pennsylvania. God bless and goodbye None.
