Published on: 26th October, 2017

Episode 151 – Interview with ZORO pt 1

Today, I have the extreme privilege of bringing you someone who has been in the music and entertainment business – and can give us some perspective on the Spiritual side of that business. He is also a believer and that has brought him before some of the influential powers that be…the FAVOR of God is upon him and I am blessed to introduce – ZORO the Drummer, ZORO the speaker, ZORO the author…folks, help me welcome to the program…ZORO!

Now, Zoro and I have been talking back and forth for several months…I am blessed to say that we have stuck up a mutual friendship over that time…Zoro, I want to tell everyone just a little bit of your background…just as an introduction…is that OK?

Folks, Zoro is, first and foremost, a Christian. He is one of the world’s greatest drummers…in fact, he has played the drums for famous musicians such as Linny Cravits, Bobby Brown, Frankie Valley, New Edition, Earth Wind and Fire, Lisa Marie Presley and many others…

But he is an inspiration to many…he has worked with these different artists and yet, he works with business leaders, youth groups, speaks in churches, speaks in various meetings all around the world.

Can you fill in the blanks for us…who is ZORO?

You came from a one parent home, correct? How life during that time of your life?

How did you get started in playing drums?

What was your “big break” when you were introduced to the “upper level” of the music industry?

Let’s talk about Faith…

When and how did you come to the point of giving your life to Jesus?

How did you decide to continue playing the drums while being a witness for Jesus?

I worked with someone who played the saxophone for Jesus, Vernard Johnson, for two years, organizing his concerts all over this nation…so I understand the interaction of using music to serve Jesus…using the music to draw people in…so you can impart to them what Faith in Jesus is all about…

How do you accomplish that balance between “living the dream” and “living for Jesus?”

Tell the story about you going to Beverly Hills high school…I love this story by the way…

A lot of artists that have “made it” (so to speak), are unapproachable, won’t give most people the time of day…then others focus on “giving their Faith away.” Can you tell us the one artist that you seen doing this and how that impacted you?

Tell me about your hat…

Your books are available on Amazon, correct? As well as your website?

Now, you will be coming to the Baltimore area at the end of October for a Youth Rally… I want to tell you, the pastors of this area are really excited about this event. It is lining up to be a great evening.

October 28, 2017 at the Eastern Assembly of God in Dundalk, Maryland…for those listening in the Baltimore area, it is on Wise Avenue in Dundalk – for those outside of Baltimore, it is just northeast of Baltimore city.

If someone wants to get ahold of you, maybe to book you or just to contact you…how can they do that?

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.
