The Last Christian

Joel Williams pt 1

There are times in our life when things do not go as planned. I know – I’ve experienced several over my life. My first love was the military…then it was gone. And I blamed God for allowing it to happen. I had my plans all laid out – but unexpected turns (and my attitude, I now can admit that), destroyed those plans. Then it was business – then it was gone. The difference this time, I was born again. So I did not blame God. I blamed others.

Then it was law enforcement… then it was gone. But the difference this time – I was born again, called and ordained into ministry (I was even a chaplain for our department’s FOP for several years). And as I was seeing the “handwriting on the wall,” I prayed. I sought the Lord and in the process, received the “peace that passes all understanding.”

So when the transition came, this time, I was ready to step into my calling.

Well, my guest today has gone through similar experiences…

Joel Williams was raised in a Christian home and attended church faithfully, as his parents were active participants in the church (same for me). At age 16, he decided enough was enough, he believed he was saved and figured he could go it alone now (same for me, at age 16 as well).

Well, needless to say, his life was not one of sunshine and roses…

But, I’ll let him share about all of that and how HE ended up here, with us today! Amen!

Joel Williams is the founder of “The Last Christian Podcast” – the Bible versus the world in Prophesy. He is also preparing to have his own radio program on Evangelism Radio at evangelismradio.com as well.

Help me welcome to the program, Joel Williams!

Other than that brief information I just shared, can you share with us in your own words, “Who is Joel Williams?”

Now, your parents raised you, basically, in the church – as my grandparents did (I was raised by my grandparents). At the same age, I may have actually been 15, you decided you’d had enough of church.  Tell us why and what did you do then?

I understand you worked for American Airlines for a long time… tell us about your life during that period of your life?

Were you chasing money to prove your success or seeking success to pursue money?

What was your family life like at that time?

You left the airlines, what did you do then?

Something happened that led you to “try church” again.  Can you share what happened and how it affected your outlook on life – and death?

When you were born again, from what I’ve read, you jumped right into serving the Lord through the church you were attending. Tell us about that time in your life…

You were remarried then?

Each podcast is approximately 28-35 minutes in length (give or take a few minutes). This is an interview based podcast that will often dig deep into the beliefs of the guest being interviewed.

So your interviews will be heard!

We always appreciate our partners in helping us to "Get The Word Out!" into all the earth! I pray for our partners every single day. I humbly ask that you would consider sending along any offering of support for this work of God.

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.
