Raising Expectations with Pastor Joe Schofield, Stefanie and Dr Craig Thayer, Dr Paul Hall, and Ron Greer Fatherhood, Identity, and the Healing Power of Godly Mentorship Guest Teri Werner, Author of Train Wreck to Triumph Friends, Join us for a heartfelt discussion with Teri Werner, 'Raising Expectations' family member, as she shares her expertise in helping people overcome trauma and life's challenges, offering a message of hope and transformation. Special insights on what a Father is and means to us all! Teri, a renowned coach, author, and speaker, will inspire and uplift us with her gift of encouragement, alongside her husband Dave, a special witness for Jesus Christ. Pastor Joe Schofield Opens Raising Expectations In this episode of Raising Expectations, host Pastor Joe Schofield welcomes listeners and introduces the program's faith-centered mission of raising expectations through Christ, family, freedom, finances, and encouragement. He notes that Stefanie Thayer and Dr. Craig Thayer are not present for this episode, while Dr. Paul Hall, Ron Greer, and Melba Schofield join the conversation. Pastor Joe also welcomes returning guest Teri Werner, describing her as part of the Raising Expectations family and highlighting her work as a transformative coach and author of Train Wreck to Triumph. Teri Werner Reflects on Father's Day and God's Loving Kindness Teri opens the main discussion by reflecting on the approaching Father's Day season and the spiritual importance of fatherhood. She shares how deeply her own father shaped her understanding of God's loving kindness, describing the biblical idea of loving kindness as covenant loyalty, mercy, forgiveness, grace, unconditional love, and steadfast affection. Teri explains that many women told her that getting to know her father helped them better understand the Heavenly Father, because he gave them a visible example of godly love, strength, and care. Fathers, Daughters, and the Formation of Identity A central theme of the episode is the powerful influence fathers have on daughters. Teri says daughters often see themselves, the world, and future relationships through the lens their fathers give them. If a father shows love, respect, attention, and honor, a daughter is more likely to expect those things from others. If he withholds them, she may become comfortable with neglect, disrespect, or emotional distance. Teri also discusses how girls who do not know their importance to their father by adolescence may later search for validation through overachievement, overproduction, or unhealthy relationships. Ron Greer on Fatherlessness and Social Breakdown Ron Greer responds by drawing on his years of ministry and research, including work with prison ministry and men's discipleship. He says the absence of a biological father in the home is strongly connected to many social problems, including incarceration, gang involvement, school dropout rates, suicide risk, sexual assault, and cycles of family breakdown. Ron emphasizes that the damage of fatherlessness can continue across generations, affecting children, grandchildren, marriages, and spiritual identity. He argues that nothing is more important than a biological or godly father figure who reflects the character of the Heavenly Father. The Struggle to Understand God as Father The group also discusses how painful father experiences can make it difficult for people to understand God as a loving Father. Ron explains that when he trained people for prison ministry, he warned them to be careful using phrases like “loving Father,” because many inmates had no positive concept of fatherhood. To them, “father” could mean abandonment, hurt, harsh discipline, or distrust. Teri adds that hopelessness can enter when a person cannot trust an earthly father and then struggles to trust God. The conversation frames healing as a process of separating God's true character from wounded earthly examples. Gender Identity, Masculinity, and the Family Dr. Paul Hall raises the question of gender identity and how it may connect to father absence, family confusion, and cultural instability. Ron responds that many identity struggles are tied to the lack of strong father figures and the destruction of biblical masculinity. He argues that Satan's attack on manhood, marriage, and family begins in Genesis and continues today. The discussion also touches on feminism, the cultural shifts of the 1970s, abortion, the Ahab and Jezebel spirits, and the ways both men and women can abandon or distort their God-given roles. Teri stresses that these issues are not simply about blaming one gender, but about recognizing spiritual patterns that damage families. Mentorship, Spiritual Fathers, and Restoring Young Men and Women The conversation then turns toward solutions. Ron describes resources from Man in the Mirror, including tools for spiritual fathers, mentoring, and discipleship, designed to help older men pour wisdom into younger men. He says men do not need to be trained theologians to mentor; they simply need life experience, scars, humility, and willingness to be transparent. Teri asks how similar mentoring could be created for women, suggesting that women also need trusted guides who can help them grow in identity, faith, and emotional health. The group agrees that mentoring must be built on trust, transparency, and real engagement rather than lectures or shallow church activity. Churches, Leadership, and the Need for Relevance The hosts and guest also discuss the need for churches and denominations to become more engaged with real-life struggles rather than relying on old formats, dark stages, loud worship, institutional meetings, or surface-level programming. Teri argues that leadership is a skill requiring intentional study, engagement, and the ability to connect with people where they are. Ron adds that many pastors themselves grew up in an era affected by fatherlessness and may not have been trained in biblical manhood or discipleship. The group says churches need to return to making disciples, not merely drawing people into buildings, and must provide meaningful guidance for young men and women searching for significance. Transparency, Brokenness, and the Cross Near the end, Dr. Paul Hall points to brokenness and the necessity of the cross, saying people must understand that they were bought with a price and fiercely loved by Christ. Teri adds that real connection comes through emotional intimacy, trust, and transparency. She says people are changed when leaders are willing to be honest, vulnerable, and Christlike, not when they simply perform or try to be popular. Pastor Joe closes by emphasizing that painful experiences can become sources of strength, peace, and purpose when brought under Christ's healing. He thanks Teri, Ron, Paul, and Melba, previews next week's guest Brad Stine, and encourages listeners to lift their expectations to the Lord and trust Him for a cure rather than a temporary bandage.

As we continue our More Wisdom, More Life series, Pastor Joe explores Proverbs 13:20 and reminds us that wisdom is often found through the people we choose to walk with. He explains that life's biggest decisions require more than knowledge–they require godly wisdom, and God frequently provides that wisdom through relationships and community. Pastor Joe encourages us to seek out wise, Jesus-centered people who can help us navigate life and experience the more life God desires for us.

This week, Pastor Dan and Pastor Joe discuss Joe's best weekly investment/pastime, talk about how we see Jesus in the story of Samson and throughout the Old Testament, and delve deeper into this week's sermon, "Victorious in Defeat." Also sorry John.....

Why does Jesus teach His followers to fast? Drawing from Matthew 6:16-18, Pastor Joe explores the purpose of fasting and how it helps us dedicate ourselves more fully to God and His Kingdom.

Raising Expectations with Pastor Joe Schofield, Dr. Paul Hall, Stefanie Thayer, Dr. Craig Thayer, Pastor Ron Greer Digital Threats, Family Safety, and Faithful Preparedness in a Changing World Guest, Frank Roberson with the Black Rhino Protection Agency Friends, Monday night we're thrilled to welcome back our dear friend and valued family member Frank Roberson. With expertise in protective services, counterintelligence, and threat analysis, Frank will share insights on safeguarding political leaders, like President Trump, and cultivating 'Situational Awareness' for everyday life. By learning from Frank's expertise, you'll gain clarity on navigating life's challenges and understand the importance of preparedness in the face of adversity. Lives can depend on it, and with this knowledge, you'll be better equipped to protect and serve your loved ones. Frank will offer practical wisdom to help you navigate life's complexities with confidence. You won't want to miss this powerful discussion. Pastor Joe Opens Raising Expectations In this episode of Raising Expectations, Pastor Joe Schofield welcomes listeners and introduces the show's regular team, including Stefanie Thayer, Dr. Craig Thayer, Dr. Paul Hall, Ron Greer, and the wider Raising Expectations family. Pastor Joe reminds listeners that the program is rooted in Christian faith, encouragement, prayer, and practical wisdom for life in America today. He also highlights the show's website, the hosts' books, and the program's ongoing desire to help people move forward with hope, clarity, and stronger faith. Frank Roberson and Black Rhino Group The guest for the episode is Frank Roberson, founder of the Black Rhino Group, a protection and security organization. Pastor Joe introduces Frank as someone who works in protective services, counterintelligence, and security preparedness for families, businesses, and public leaders. When Frank joins the show, he shares that Black Rhino is expanding and may be acquiring its first security company to build out a uniformed division. He also says the world of protection is changing quickly because technology is evolving so fast. Smart Glasses, AI, and the New Surveillance Problem A major focus of the conversation is emerging technology, especially Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses and similar devices. Frank explains that glasses with hidden or subtle camera functions create new security risks because people can record video, capture documents, photograph credit cards, observe jewelry stores, or gather private information without others realizing it. The group discusses how this can affect malls, medical offices, corporate meetings, financial institutions, and everyday family privacy. Frank emphasizes that the same tools available to security professionals are also available to criminals. Data Privacy, Cloud Storage, and Digital Exposure The discussion expands into data privacy and the risks of cloud storage, facial recognition, AI-generated images, and social media data. Frank explains that uploaded videos, photos, and recordings may pass through systems controlled by third parties, contractors, or cloud providers, leaving people uncertain about who has access. He also discusses AI photo tools that can create realistic images of people using uploaded pictures, warning that someone could gather photos from social media and create fake profiles, poses, websites, or misleading content. Scams, Phishing, and Protecting Personal Information Frank gives several examples of modern scams, including fake invoices, fraudulent text messages, fake Apple or AT&T alerts, payday-loan threats, gift-card scams, fake legal-service calls, and voice imitation scams targeting grandparents. He explains that criminals may study billing patterns, imitate companies, slightly alter email addresses, and trick people into paying fake bills. His advice is to avoid clicking suspicious links, independently look up company contact information, call the company directly, and never volunteer personal details just because someone on the phone asks for verification. Social Security Numbers, Travel Posts, and Everyday Risk The hosts discuss how easily people give away identifying information. Frank explains that social security numbers, birth dates, addresses, and travel information can be combined to steal identities, commit fraud, or target homes. He warns against posting vacation photos while still away, because criminals can use public social media information to know that a house is empty. The group also discusses family code words as a practical tool when someone receives a frightening call that appears to be from a relative in danger. Security, Churches, and the Problem of Visibility The conversation turns to physical security, including churches, public events, and protective details. Frank says many churches are vulnerable because they are open, welcoming, and often not security-minded. He also criticizes overly visible security teams that draw attention to themselves with tactical gear, open firearms, or dramatic behavior. In his view, good protection often means blending into the environment, staying unnoticed, and positioning people wisely rather than making a show of force. Protective Work and Practical Wisdom Frank uses examples from jewelry escorts, public figures, high-net-worth families, restaurants, malls, and public events to explain how proper security works. He says protection is often about preparation, observation, and quiet placement, not ego or intimidation. Pastor Joe and the team connect Frank's practical advice to a larger theme of preparedness: people should not live in fear, but they should be aware, wise, and ready. The episode closes with Dr. Paul Hall praying for Frank, his wife Chrissy, Black Rhino, and all those involved in protection work, asking for wisdom, safety, and God's guidance.

When You Fast by Pastor Joe Turman.Recorded May 31, 2026.

In a world filled with different beliefs and religions, why do Christians believe Jesus is the only way to heaven? Wow, what a great question!  You Asked For It, so we delivered this thoughtful and honest response. Pastor Joe compares the core beliefs of Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Mormonism, and Jehovah's Witnesses while explaining what makes Jesus and the Gospel unique and encouraging Christ followers to love people of all faiths.

You Asked For It—and this week we tackle one of the biggest questions people ask about faith: Are there many paths to God, or is Jesus truly the only way? Pastor Joe Jr. dives into what Christianity teaches compared to Mormonism and Islam, breaking down key differences about who Jesus is and what salvation means. This message isn't attacking people—it's about understanding truth with clarity and compassion. Most importantly, you'll hear how followers of Jesus are called to interact with people of other beliefs: not with fear or hate, but with genuine love.

How do you deal with difficult people without losing your peace? In this practical and hilarious message, Pastor Joe (PJ) breaks down the different types of difficult people we encounter — from drainers and critics to controllers and instigators — and gives biblical wisdom for responding with maturity, wisdom, and healthy boundaries. This message will challenge you to rethink conflict, protect your peace, and respond rather than react. If you've ever struggled with difficult relationships at work, home, church, or in everyday life, this word is for you.

What is the cost of unforgiveness? Pastor Joe unpacks Matthew 6:12, 14-15 and shows us how God's grace empowers us to forgive others.

What if the greatest danger isn't being broken…but stopping at partial healing?In Luke 17, ten lepers cried out to Jesus for mercy. All ten were cleansed as they walked away… but only ONE came back.

A Servant's Heart.Jesus didn't just teach serving, He modeled it. What looks low in the world is actually the pathway up in the kingdom. Faithfulness is proven in the small things, and a willing heart to serve is the mark of a true believer.What you do with what's in your hands right now is what prepares you for what's next. Stay faithful, stay serving, and stay humble. God is building something in you through it.
