National Day of Prayer Special – Tonight at 9 pm Eastern

Tonight Thursday, May 3rd, the Ed Boston Podcast Network will host a special time of prayer, scripture, and comments for our country. We will be live streaming on Facebook Live, You Now, and You Tube.

Here is some information from the National organization about today’s events and history of National Day of Prayer.

National Day of Prayer Theme for 2018

The National Day of Prayer was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of Congress, and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. In 1988, the law was unanimously amended by both the House and the Senate and signed into law by President Ronald Reagan on Thursday, May 5, 1988, designating the first Thursday of May as a day of national prayer. Every president since 1952 has signed a National Day of Prayer proclamation.

Prayer brings people together. Prayer builds bridges between opposing persons and even political parties. Prayer reminds us that we are created in God’s image and He desires for us to represent Him everywhere we go. Prayer brings UNITY. In 2018, our theme will be Pray for America – UNITY, based upon Ephesians 4:3 which challenges us to mobilize unified public prayer for America, “Making every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.”

Our hope is that individuals, churches, and spiritual leaders in America, will humble ourselves and unify in prevailing prayer for the next great move of God in America. We can come together in clear agreement that this is our greatest need. We can become a visible union, standing together in prayer. We can pray more than ever before, and practice extraordinary prayer for the next great move of God in America that will catapult the message of the gospel nationally and internationally.

Pray with us. Sponsor an event in your community. Become a volunteer. Order resources to help promote an event in your area. Support the National Day of Prayer financially. Together, we can mobilize unified public prayer for America!

“There is no great movement of God that has ever occurred that does not begin with the extraordinary prayer of God’s people.” Dr. Ronnie Floyd

Amazing Story Told By President on the National Day of Prayer

Below is an amazing story about the power of prayer that was told by President Donald Trump during his remarks at the Rose Garden during his remarks on the National Day of Prayer.

To read the entire transcript of his remarks, go here.

Here is the story:

We take this step because we know that, in solving the many, many problems and our great challenges, faith is more powerful than government, and nothing is more powerful than God.  (Applause.)

With us today is a living reminder of this truth.  His name is Jon Ponder, from Las Vegas, Nevada.  Where’s Jon?  Come on up here, Jon.  Get up here, Jon.  (Applause.)

Jon grew up without his father.  As he tells it, “My mother was strong, but she wasn’t able to keep us out of the gangs and off the streets.”  Right?  Jon was in and out of jail for years until, at age 38, he was arrested for bank robbery.  You don’t look like a bank robber, Jon.  (Laughter.)  He’s come a long way.

Jon soon ended up in federal prison, relegated to solitary confinement.  That’s where God found him.  Jon began to read the Bible and listen to Christian radio.  Right?  (Applause.)  Incredible.

One morning, at 2 a.m., he woke up to the voice of the great Billy Graham.  Reverend Graham’s words came through the airwaves, “Jesus wants to be Lord of your life.”  That night, Jon dedicated his life to Christ.  (Applause.)

He spent the rest of his time in prison praying, studying the Bible, and bringing the Lord to his fellow inmates.  The day after Jon’s release, a visitor knocked on his door.  It was the man who put him in jail, FBI Special Agent Richard Beasley — who is here.  Richard.  Come on up, Richard.  (Applause.)

“I want you to know that I’ve been praying for you very strongly,” he said, that, “God called me to the FBI in part because of you, Jon.”  The two are now lifelong friends.

Jon, do you like him?

PONDER:  I love him.

THE PRESIDENT:  You love him?  That’s nice.  (Applause.)  That’s beautiful.

Jon runs a ministry that has helped more than 2,000 former inmates rejoin society, and he’s the talk of the country.  The job Jon does is incredible.

Jon and Richard, you are a living testament to the power of prayer.  (Applause.)  Your story reminds us that prayer changes hearts and transforms lives.  It uplifts the soul, inspires action, and unites us all as one nation, under God.  So important.

Ted DiBiase, The Million Dollar Man, Joins The Podcast to Talk About The Movie “The Price of Fame” and His Heart of David Ministry

What an honor it was to talk with WWE Hall of Famer, The Million Dollar Man, Ted DiBiase earlier this week. While you might think the interview was all about wrestling, the point of talking with Ted was for him to share about his Christian faith, the movie The Price of Fame, and his personal ministry Heart of David Ministry.

We talked about a low point in his life, how he was shown forgiveness and restoration, and about the past 18 years where he has been a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Click this link to listen to our interview with a fine Christian man, Ted DiBiase.

On the movie website, they say: We are excited to now be EVERYWHERE! You can get the DVD or download the film from our retail  partners:

Remember – From International Fellowship of Christians and Jews

Pledge to Remember

Shalom, Ed,

No one who experiences Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) in Israel ever forgets it. And from sundown April 11 to sundown April 12, something very moving will happen.

At precisely 10 am, for two minutes, sirens sound across the country. All activity literally comes to a halt. People stop working, pedestrians pause, cars pull over to the side of the road, and Israel is united in silent remembrance of the six million people murdered during this terrible chapter in history.

This year, as Israel prepares to celebrate her 70th birthday, I am asking friends of Israel everywhere to show their solidarity with the Jewish state that rose from the ashes of the Holocaust by observing two minutes of silence to remember those who perished.

In the Bible, God told Ezekiel to prophesy to the dry bones – the people of Israel – “I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land” (Ezekiel 37:14). For 70 years, the modern state of Israel has stood as fulfillment of this prophecy.

Thank you, my friend. Your moment of silence will remind the world that we must “never forget” the Holocaust – and that we must continue to support Israel, the sovereign Jewish state that for 70 years has been a refuge where Jewish people can live in safety.
With prayers for shalom, peace,

Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein

One Year Ago Today

One year ago today, February 26th of 2017, my wonderful wife Amy suffered a stroke. Thankfully, God wasn’t ready just yet to take her home. She has been through so much in the last year, that it’s only appropriate that I give thanks to the Lord for the blessing that Amy truly is to me and so many others.

She has endured numerous days in the hospital on more than one occasion,  several trips to the ER, weeks and weeks of speech therapy, countless doctor appointments, the guilt of raking up thousands of dollars of medical bills, and so much more.

If you feel led to comment to Amy, you can do so in the comment section below or by going here.

May God continue to bless Amy in all that she does!
