A Man Like You and Me

Paul Joel pt 1

Are you ready to understand Love on a deeper level? Do you have a desire to understand what True Love really means? Jesus shared this understanding of love through storytelling. He used parables in his sermons to convey true, real world scenarios and how God’s Love can transcend all the devil puts in your path. In keeping with that kind of storytelling passion, our guest today has written a Love Story that that conveys the deep meaning of God’s Love while at the same time, making real to the readers. Making it real to us. Making it real is what makes it, well “real!” Amen! Paul Joel is board certified Pulmonary and Internal Medicine physician in New York.  He had his career, his wife, his faith. Born again in 1982, all was going well with his life, until March of 2019. He was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Encephalitis. With most of his long term memory wiped away – and all of his short term memory gone as well, Paul was not the man he used to be. Two years of chemotherapy, steroids, etc. Nothing worked. So he stopped all the treatment. MRI scans showed most of his brain had been destroyed. There was nothing anyone could do. Then, one year after stopping treatments, in April of 2022, his memory came back. A new MRI indicated nothing had changed. He wasn’t supposed to have ANY memory!  But yet, he did! Paul Joel is a living testimony to the miracle working power of God. Amen! Now an author, Paul Joel published his book, “A Man Like You and Me:  A Supernatural Adventure Story.” This book is about the interplay between fate – and free will. The book is to show the purpose of miracles and to get people to read their Bible. Amen! Help me welcome to the program, Paul Joel.  Paul, I have to tell you, I have been looking forward to this interview! Let me start with this question first. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Paul Joel?” You had a career as a physician.  But all of that came crashing down. First, tell us what Hashimoto’s Encephalitis is and how it affects the body… Were there any symptoms that alerted you that something was not right? What did the experts say about your disease?” I know many times, if you are in the same profession as someone you are counseling or treating, you can be more, let’s just say, “candid” with the person because they know what is happening. Is that how they treated and talked to you? Who was taking care of you during that time and do you have any memories of that time at all? In the intro, I read that your memory returned, I believe it was on April 29, 2022. Did you just “wake up” so to speak? Or did it return gradually…?  What happened that make you realize something had changed? Folks, I love true stories. I especially love true stories that relate to miracle working, lifesaving power of the Gospel and Jesus Christ. Amen! I urge you to drop down into the show notes below and reach out to Paul Joel. Ask your questions, etc. But be sure to click the link there so you can order a copy of his great book, “A Man Like You and Me: A Supernatural Adventure Story.”  You might want to order two or three and share them as gifts. Amen!  Buy one for your pastor – I know he’d appreciate it. Amen!

About your host

Profile picture for Robert Thibodeau

Robert Thibodeau

I am a 12 year Army veteran as both enlisted and as a commissioned Cavalry Officer.
I am now a retired law enforcement supervisor...

I had my own business for seven years before I entered law enforcement.

As a cop, I was injured on the job on May 12, 2007 and after several surgeries over a couple of years, forced to retire in 2011.

As I was looking down the road to “what am I going to do next?” I started what is now known as a podcast (I had no clue at the time).

Within six months of starting (what I called) “My online radio program” I was offered an opportunity to be on nationwide AM radio. I learned A LOT in one year of doing that!

I then started the online Christian radio platform "Evangelism Radio" in the fall of 2010. It has had listeners in 160+ nations and all 50 states. We host 50+ Christian broadcasters on a weekly basis. We have been operating 24/7 for almost 14 years now. We have been rated #1 in the world by Shoutcast. com on several occasions in our genre. We recently transferred ownership of Evangelism Radio to another ministry so I could concentrate full time on podcasting, preaching and writing.

In 2018, I started the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast to conduct interviews with Christian influencers from all walks of life and to play their interviews on the radio station. (The KCR Podcast has its own time slot on Evangelism Radio)!
We now have over 1600 episodes and almost 1100 interviews (in just over 6 years).

Looking out at the future of online Christian media, I noticed there was no viable platforms that catered only to the Christian podcast market.

In 2023, we launched a networking platform called, "FaithCasters" which connects "Great Christian podcasters with Great Christian Guests!" This helps to promote the work you do through podcast interviews! Check it out at https://FaithCaster.org

We recently launched "FaithCaster Academy" which serves as a training hub for ALL of our trainings (podcast training / speaker training / interview training, etc.). Members receive access to ALL of our training programs for one low, monthly membership fee. Members also receive FREE access to ALL of the LIVE trainings I conduct (1 or 2 per month) - while non-members have to pay to access the live trainings.

Between my podcast training program, conducting podcast interviews, appearing on other podcasts as guests, speaking at conferences (in person and virtually) and the podcast networking platform, I guess you could say “I’m all in” when it comes to podcasting and online media!

My total focus is to do all we can to assist you to “Get The Word Out” about your mission, services, products, ministry, books, business, etc.
