  Speaker 1: It's a podcast network Ero dot net A r r
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: oe dot net. Every day you're sit in that car,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: I want you to have the power of choice, and
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: one of those choices could be missed opportunity. I speak
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: with thousands of people year after year. Not all of
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: them make it to a podcast. Why because it became
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: a missed opportunity. So what I do is is that
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I ask the questions hoping somebody will locate it and
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: answer them. It's happened four different times missed opportunity only
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: on ero dot net A r r oe dot net.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Enjoy your exploration. Hell, I am doing fantastic. How are
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: you doing, sir?
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Very well? Thank you for your time, Thank you for
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: inviting me.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm so glad that you answered the call of God.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: And the reason why is because what you have presented here.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: When I got this book, you have no idea what
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: kind of energy was moving through e. And the thing
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: is is that you really bring in stories here. I'm
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: preachers are preaching this. You're giving me stories and more
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: thoughts and more things I can add to my life
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: and things that I can, you know, study and help
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: teach other people.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: I appreciate it. Thank you so much er what led you.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: To this journey. I realized that it was just a
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: few years ago that you stepped on the path. But
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: to be this much involved, this almost feels like it's
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: been going on your entire life.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Yes, I began within the Bible at my father's death
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: bed and Errow It at least changed my life because
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: I understood that any hope for after life, any hope
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: to see my father again, cannot be separated by believing God,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: and not in any God, but in a God, the
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: God of the Bible, in a merciful God who created us,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: who loves us, who takes care of us, and who
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: won't ever abandon us.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Just the openness that you have inside this book from
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: you to pull it from your actual studies. That's the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: thing that I wish that I could get more people
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: to do, because so many people will show up in
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: a church, or they'll they'll go to a Barnes and
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Noble and pick up a Bible, but they're not getting
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: the experience that you're sharing inside these pages. And that's
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: why I want people to go to the God of
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: our fathers, because you're open with us in understanding where
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: we stand.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, I thank you so much. I think in the
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Bible we can find dignity, love and hope. Dignity because
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: all of us descend from one single man, Adam, and
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: from one single woman. If so, all of us are
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: equal in the eyes of God. Love because when Jesus says,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: love your neighbor as yourself is quoting the Bible. Hope,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: because in the Book of Wisdom it's written God did
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: not create death. We are created for immortality, for ltousness
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: is immortal. We were created not only in the image
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: and likeness of the God's face, so we can recognize
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: God in the face of the others. We can recognize
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: God in the eyes of those we love, but we
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: were created also in the likeness of his very natural immortality.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: You really did bring something to my mind because I'm
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: an avid church follower, believer, study, or activator, and you
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: bring something up in here. I've never heard it before,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: but yet we got to talk about it. I didn't
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: realize that God told Joshua three times to be strong
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: and courageous. Three times. There's that number three again in
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the Bible.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: It's true three times, so you're right, a perfect number.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: But often God chooses weak man fragile man, scared man,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: vulnerable man. You're talk about Joshua, but I think for example,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Abraham and Sarah are old and childless. Isaac is blind,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Jacob is a lame He has a lame leg because
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: he injured himself wrestling with the Angel of God. Noah
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: and his family are alone in the flood. Moses statters.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: God gives the mission to freeze people to a man
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: who's not capable to speak, who's not able to talk.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: David is a small boy who has to fight against
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: a giant Goliath. And Judith is a widow, a woman
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: considered week without a husband, but she cuts off the
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: head of all the furnaces, the commander of the enemy army.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: She saves the people. A great woman. Where are many
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: great women? Esther Susanna in the Bible?
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Please do not move. There's more with Aldo Kazulo coming
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: up next. The name of the book the God of
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: our Fathers from Aldo Kazulo. Don't you love that when
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: when we can sit here and we can patiently go
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: through Bible stories and we can really put it in
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: a language that people understand. Because I'm still connected to
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Jesus and the woman at the well I mean. I
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: made a comment on iHeartRadio about stop judging people. Jesus
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: didn't judge the woman at the well, and all of
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: a sudden, lives began to change. And that's what I
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: love about this book. There's no judgment in this book.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: You are telling us and sharing with us real, authentic
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: stories that we can put inside our own choices.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I think the Bible is a tarn now the Bible
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: is universal.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: For example, the story of Susanna is a very modern story.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Susannah was a beautiful woman, too corrupt. Elders desire that her.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: She refuses them. They say, if you refuse us, he
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: will stay. We found you with a young man. But
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: it's not true. Yes, if not true, but people will
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: trust us, will believe us, because we are men, you
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: are a woman. In fact, Susannah is not trust is
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: not believed. She was sentenced to death. But God inspired
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: a young man, Daniel, the prophet Danny, who had an idea.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: He separated the two accusers and he made he has
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: the same question. He has both the same question. Under
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: which tree did you see Susannah with a young man?
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: One answers under a mastic tree. The other one answers
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: under a ever green oak. So, Daniel Demorst is the
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: innocence of Susannah. Susanna is freed and still the proof
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: that woman and women always have to resist and report
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: their abswers.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Wow, what was it like for you on a per
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: personal level. You openly admit that your father wasn't sure
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the afterlife existed. He was convinced. I want that on
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: a poster inside this studio because I want to be
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: able to feel convinced. That is such a powerful word
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: from your father.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: You have to know at all. But when I do
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: an interview, I always ask people if they believe the
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: after life and how they imagine. My father told me,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: although I have the answer to your question, the after
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: life exists, Are you sure, Papa, No, I'm not sure.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: I am convinced. Yes, before tying my father had that experience,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: he didn't. He hadn't only seen he felt at the
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: presence of his father, my grandfather, Lorenzo, who was a
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: soldier when Americans went to Europe to help the Italians,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: the French, and the English in First War One. It
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: was very It was a soldier and he in that
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: vision he told me, my father, I am here. I
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: will help you with the same pete who will judge
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: your soul. It was a vision taken of the Catholic imagination.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: But this is the point for my father, for my grandfather,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: the existence of God of the after life was as
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: real and unquestionable as the sun rising and setting. We
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: had to get with back this faith. We need hope,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: we need the love. We need the hope in an
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: after life. We need love for the other people. And
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: we can find everything in the Bible.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Mmm mmm mmmm. And when it's not in the Bible,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I truly believe that the higher energy does use each
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: and every one of us to get even a stronger
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: word out there. Because, my God, although you are very
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: strong when you say in the age of the Internet,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: the past and future do not exist, that was a
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: wake up call to my soul. I did not pick
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: up the smartphone because I want to exist and it's
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: not on the Internet. And you know you just opened
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: up my heart.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: I am afraid for my son. I am afraid for
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: my daughter, because I for the generation. Really the past
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: that don't exist, that doesn't exist, that the future doesn't exist.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Answering where who am I, where I will go from?
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Where I go It's not infessional anymore, but the direct
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: the real questions we need an answer. We neither hope.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: The souls of the writers are in the hand of God.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: No torment will ever touch them, because God tested them
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: and found them worth of himself. What a hope.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Speaking of testing, how about that Samson? Huh? You know
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: he tells a lie to Delilah because he was testing her.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: I've never heard this story before. That's what I love
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: about your book.
• 9:58

• 10:01

• 10:13
  Speaker 2: but there is hope. There is the dignity of the man.
