God Came To My Garage Sale

Marnie Hill Foderaro pt 1

Many of us are familiar with garage sales. We have visited them, some of us visit them more frequently than others…I’ll just leave it at that…

Some of us have held or organized garage sales, yard sales, etc. It is a great way to make a little cash (or, in the case of my wife, spend a bit of cash)… but it is also a place to meet people from all walks of life.

Every person has a story. Every person is someone new. Every person can impart to you some spiritual wisdom or you can impart to them some spiritual wisdom.

Basically, garage sales are win-win situations all the way around!

But, what if you discover GOD came to YOUR garage sale?

That’s not saying He is there to see what you are selling, but perhaps to help initiate a conversation with someone else. Someone who imparts a bit of spiritual wisdom into your life. One comment, one encounter at a time, over and over again, all day long, during your garage sale?

Each person, chips away at your long held belief system that never included God. Until, finally, you come face to face with your old beliefs cast aside and you stand face-to-face with the reality that “God IS real?”  Wouldn’t that be exciting?

Well, that is the premise of what we will be discussing today.

Well, my guest today is Marnie Hill Foderaro, author of a highly acclaimed, award winning book titled, “God Came to My Garage Sale.”

Dr. Marnie Hill Foderaro is an award winning and celebrated author, a speaker and an educator. She earned her doctorate of education from Norther Illinois University and completed her postdoctoral studies at Harvard! Praise God!  She had a very successful 35 year career as a high school special education teacher and 12 years as a university adjunct professor.

She is also the author of 5 book series entitled, “True Deceit False Love.” She has written numerous articles published in magazines and newspapers and has been interviewed on television and numerous podcasts.

Help me welcome to the program, Dr. Marnie Hill Foderaro!  Marnie, thank you for taking the time to come on the program today!  I do appreciate it!

The first question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Marnie Hill Foderaro?”

Why did you move to the Caribbean?

You were raised in an atheist home. What caused you to go on a search for God?

And then you held a garage sale… tell us about the events that occurred and when you finally realized that God had orchestrated these things during the garage sale?

So this book is, although it is fiction, is basically, your testimony of how you “found God” by Him using other people to peel back layer after layer of your hardened heart?

Can you tell us about the main character of your book and how she came to the point of holding this garage sale?

Can you share with us some of the events that transpired during this garage sale?

Folks, this book by Marnie Hill Foderaro is a great read and so inspiring, I know you will enjoy it. In fact, not only should you order your own copy of Marnie’s book, you should get two or three and pass them out as Christmas presents, too!  At the time of this recording, Christmas is just around the corner!  Get your shopping done early and bless someone who needs to hear an inspiring story like Marnie is sharing in her great book, “God Came to My Garage Sale.”

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.
