Dr. Robert Owens Chronicles the History of the Future

Pour On The Blessings June 30, 2026

In “Pour on the Blessings” S5 / E60 of I Took a Right Turn: We open up praising God for the successful outcome of Rosalie’s operation.  We thank everyone for their prayers and support as we have followed God through these last few years.  Rosalie is getting stronger every day and will soon be back to full health.  Our musical portion of the podcast reflects the fact that this week is the 250^th birthday of the United States.  We begin with God Bless America a song which we have always believed should be our national anthem.  Next, an old song that comes from what Historians call the Civil War.  A war that tore the United States apart and in which more American died than in all the other wars combined. This song was a marching song for the Union Armies and for many years the theme song of the Republican Party, The Battle Hymn of the Republic.  Then we share a song that is always special to us because it was the favorite song of one of our mentors, Pastor Raymond Flemmons; I’ve Got a Feeling.  Finally, we share another of our homegrown songs: The Book, the Blood, and the Blessed Hope.

We move on to the “A Miracle Moment,” we share an ongoing miracle.  As we’ve mentioned before Robert has been writing songs for over sixty years.  Back in the 60s and 70s he tried to make it in the music business, but it never worked out.  Then when he got saved, he put that life behind him and for the last 40+ years he has played exclusively in churches and revivals with Rosalie.  But with the advent of AI he has learned to create his songs the way they’ve always sounded in his head.  And the first song will be released on Spotify and all streaming platforms this July 4^th.  The song is entitles “Who Writes the Review” and it has been shared on this podcast.

We want to invite everyone to send us your miracle stories.  Everyone who does will receive one of Robert’s books.  We’re very excited about this segment because we feel God has guided us into this expansion of the Podcast Ministry.  Just go to  itookarightturn.com and click on “Contact” and use the message system to submit.  Everyone who does will receive one of Robert’s books free of charge and autographed, if they share their mailing address.   

After this turn to God’s holy Word exploring II Corinthians 9:8 which tells us that we shall receive in the same measure as we give and that God is just waiting to pour on the blessings.

Then Robert reads another poem from his second book of poetry, Floating Through Time, “Looking for Opportunities.”  Each episode this season includes a poem from this book.

In “Use Freedom Well” S5 / E59 of I Took a Right Turn: Once we finish our usual comments on the weather in the  Promised Land and move on to speaking about the freedom we have in the Lord and how we need to use that freedom to honor, serve, and glorify Him.  We ask for prayers and remind people they can send their prayer requests to us.  Our musical portion of the podcast begins with a song that sometimes stays in my head for days afterwards, an old song that has blessed generations of believers and led multitudes to Christ, I Saw the Light.  Next another of our favorite songs from the old tent revival days, Jesus Got aholda My Heart.  Then comes a song that tells the truth and nothing but the truth, There is None Like You.  Finally, we share another of our homegrown songs, one that speaks of where our gaze should be directed: Keep Your Eye One the Prize.
