Freedom and Liberty Under Fire – Steve Cassell pt 1

Freedom & Liberty Under Fire

Steve Cassell pt 1

We have seen the carnage being played out all across America in the inner cities right now. We have seen the reaction of the liberals who are running these cities and states. We wonder “why” there is not any type of effort at containing and eliminating the illegal riots and destruction that is happening.

Then, counter the lack of action with the over reach and power grab of these same liberal politicians against law abiding citizens. The attempt to shut down any and all things that pertain to freedom and Constitutional protections of those who are not breaking the law at all opportunities.

It is almost as if they are protecting the criminals from those that want peace, law and order.

One of the many things we have observed is the use of the “Executive Order” to shut down churches, force people to be on home detention, force them to wear masks, shutting down any type of economic prosperity by small business owners, etc.

Many are speaking out about this, nowhere near enough, but some are.

What amazes me is the lack of pastors speaking out. They are being muzzled by the devil himself. But not by any actions they are taking against the devil and his cohorts, but willingly be silent.

Why?

Well, to discuss this today is someone who IS NOT remaining silent. In fact, he has been on the front lines of opposition to these illegal activities in the State of Illinois.

I have the blessed privilege of having an on fire man of God on our program today. Pastor Steve Cassell, of the “Beloved Church” in Lena, Illinois, is our guest today. Steve and I attended JSMI Bible Institute and School of World Evangelism way, WAY back in the 1990’s. Steve was one year ahead of me but we were there, sitting under the teaching of Dr. Jerry Savelle.

I interviewed Steve back at the end of 2019. If you want to hear some great, inspirational, Godly conversations, go to the archives and look up episodes 587, 588, 589 and 590! You will be blessed!

In fact, after those interviews, Steve joined our broadcast family on Evangelism Radio and his one hour program airs daily, Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday on our radio station at 8am and 8pm ET.

Steve, for those that did not hear those prior episodes yet, tell us in your own words, “Who is Steve Cassell?”

Tell us briefly, your background that you and your wife, Kay, experienced prior to coming to Jesus. Just to bring our listeners up to date with your background.

How has life been treating you during this Corona Virus and why did you feel the need to begin speaking out like you have been?

What was the initial response of the pastors when you started to speak out on these issues in Illinois? (Steve was actually the FIRST IN THE NATION to speak out and fight back)!

This is a classic example of what one man can do if God is on his side (just like David & Goliath)!

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.
