Welcome back to the Millennial Mustard Seed.
I am your host, Rod and thank you for being here with me.
This is a mini one. I'm only going to take a couple
minutes here to do some announcements.
First thing I'd like to talk about is the book update.
It is live and published and I'm going to have a link in the
details of the show notes as to where you guys can go purchase
yourself a copy of my newest book.
The words are salt. We've got an excellent feedback
with the people who've read it. So far all of the poetry that
I've included in this first book, Bodies, is in there.
I've gotten a ton of emails from people all around the world on
reading that poem on a episode I did with Carly a couple months
ago. So I've been working on this and
I did one announcement prior months back at the end of an
episode for the people who listened all the way through
letting you guys know I was writing a book and that it was
in the final stages. Well, at this point in time,
this is the first time I'm publicly announcing it is
published live and available. I'd really appreciate it if you
guys would get yourself a copy. If you're asking why is it not
available on Kindle for example. But because I want you guys to
have a paper copy just in case, you never know and this is the
kind of book you can sit with. Reflect on any blank pages that
are left in there or semi intentional.
There's not many pages like that, but when you see one or
half page, feel free to write in it, make it personal with you.
This is a bit of a game changer for me personally because it's
kind of like letting go of something that's so precious to
you and through many troubled nights.
I wrote these poems for the last couple years.
His way was written in 2019. In parts I was being woken up at
3:00 in the morning most nights and into 2020 and I would write
just a fragment of that poem. We have some endorsements in the
1st 2 pages. I'm just going to take a minute
to read those two endorsements for the book here.
The first one is from Doctor Laura Sanger, who, if you're new
to this podcast, is the author of The Roots of the Federal
Reserve. She's a friend of the show she's
been on a number of times and will be appearing here in the
very near future again. But this is what she had to say
about the words are solved. The first time I heard the poem
his way was at the end of an interview on the Millennial
Mustard Seed podcast. As Rod read it aloud, I was
transposed into the presence of our Redeemer.
I burst into worship and knew in my spirit that this poem would
extend far and wide, calling the wayward home in the faithful
hire. These poems come from a deep
well of worship within Rod's heart, cultivated by intimate
communion with the Waymaker. Just like the biblical giant
slayers of old, Rod walks in the fear of the Lord with a warrior
poet's heart enter into the sweet aroma of offering up
worship in spirit and truth. Through the pages of this book,
with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, Rod has crafted words
that will ignite you with a holy passion.
Join him in stepping out in the faith the size of the mustard
seed and watch the mountains in your life.
Moon. Laura Sanger, PhD, author of The
Roots of the Federal Reserve. The next one I have here, the
second endorsement from Carly Tubbs.
Let me read this one. Rod has assembled a body of work
that invites the reader into a high place upon which to stand
and look out through the big windows of Christ's eyes and to
see the common experiences of life in a new way.
The first time I heard him read Bodies on Season 4 Episode One O
Two of his Millennial Mustard Seed podcast, it hearkened back
to the beautiful and precarious tensions between our bodies
being both the temple of the Holy Spirit and the most abused
and relegated vessel of our human experiences.
The podcast is a brilliant catalogue of thoughts,
reflections, and interviews that testify to just how authentic he
is in his pursuit to discuss a wide variety of topics while
truly honoring the vessels through which Christ speaks.
Everything Rod sets his heart to do for the Lord is a blessing to
the body of Christ. And this book is the maiden
voyage of his writings that are surely kept in the Libraries of
Heaven by Carly Tubbs, life coach and guest and Patreon here
at the Millennium Wants to see podcast you guys.
I just want to thank you guys for listening to this.
And if you are into poetry, parables, rants, short stories,
elongated poems, this book is for you.
I've actually introduced a new form of poetry into this many
traditional styles of poetry that are introduced in this
book, one of which I have coined the term collective flow.
I'll let you figure that one out.
When you get a copy of the book yourself, it is available on
Amazon. Both hardcover and paperback
options are available right now in the link in the show notes on
Amazon. One of the most important things
about me publicly talking about this today for the first time.
I know I've shared this privately with a couple people
leading up to the release who got themselves a copy right when
it went live on the 4th and already got theirs in within
just a couple days for a paperback.
But me and my wife were in agreement for this to be
broadcasted to all of you guys who are listeners here on the
podcast and for social media, because today is my son Adam's
7th birthday. This is something I'll never
forget. You know, the first time I ever
released one of my writings that became published on my son's 7th
birthday. That's kind of a big deal.
We were in agreement on that. And it was to me.
I'm like, man, I'll just never forget that.
This is such a surreal moment. Look at what God did, man.
I just praise God and give him glory and credit because a
broken vessel like me growing up to become an author and an
international broadcaster and just all this cool stuff that's
going on behind the scenes, talking with different doctors,
getting aligned with all these different ministries, seeing
these plans unfold, being ahead of the curb in a lot of ways.
And I don't say that proudly. I say that in humility because
there's just not enough time in the day for me to try to explain
to you guys the shift that is here and the shift that is
coming. But I want to keep this under 10
minutes, so please go get yourself a copy of The Words Are
salt. It does not disappoint.
Please help me share this episode here with friends,
family members, pastor, Co worker, doctor, whoever.
Just share the link and post it on your social medias.
Get yourself a copy. I encourage you guys to leave me
a review on Amazon and if you have not rated the podcast,
leave me a review and plant a seed and partner with us every
effort, every dime, every prayer at all the encouragement.
It's not a wasted effort. Here we are trusting God to
multiply everything so we can see the vision of Kingdom Land
Project come to pass. Stepping out with a mustard seed
sighs faith. Until next time, God bless and
goodbye the, the,
the.
