American Made Stories with Mackenzie Moser

My name is Mackenzie Moser and I’m excited to introduce American Made Stories. In whatever walk of life that you are in, I hope that you pull something from these stories. Over the last several years, I have had the unique opportunity to meet with individuals across the country through my career in real estate. I believe people are put in our lives purposefully and we each have a calling . A verse in the Bible says it so clearly. Ephesians 2:10 “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.”
When I look at the foundations of our Country, I can’t help but see and feel the Divine intervention woven in the stories.

One of our greatest and most beloved forefathers was George Washington. Listen to the podcast as I share the story of an aged Indian chief who met George Washington.
George Washington’s Divine protection, bravery, perseverance and calling is common to many of the stories of great leaders of our country. The same Holy Spirit who lived in our Founding Fathers lives in us and many others today......to continue to guide, inspire and use our lives purposefully. The walk and path is not always easy but there is so much wisdom to be gained from the stories of each journey. I feel a duty to share the stories and do everything I can to protect our country’s opportunities and freedoms for future generations.

I believe we live in the greatest country. At a time that seems controversial and uncertain, we can look at history and be reminded that we have been here before and have faith that we can unite and come out stronger. 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, “If my people, who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
The ”American Made Stories” I plan to share, are testaments to what God can do in a life and how America has provided opportunities (even through hardships and struggles) for almost 250 years! I have the privilege of working for my family’s business that my Dad began years ago. The first podcast episode will feature him, Dennis Moser, my biggest inspiration, cheerleader and the epitome of the American Dream. Whether you are a CEO, student, mother, son, daughter, athlete.....whatever your role.....I hope you know how precious your life and calling is.
I believe God gives dreams and I believe God lead our founding fathers in the creation of America. With a dream of freedom, our Founding Fathers issued the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776 and severed their political connections to Great Britain. They exercised wisdom in the founding documents and had hopes of liberty, religious freedom and free market capitalism. America in itself is a miracle and has given millions of people from all over the world opportunity.

Although we are not perfect, we can strive to continually make our country better. I recently had a chance to visit the Ronald Reagan library in Ventura County, California. I unashamedly echo what Ronald Reagan said, “America’s best days are yet to come. Our proudest moments are yet to be. Our most glorious achievements are just ahead.” Listeners, don’t stop praying and don’t stop dreaming! You have a difference to make. It is “We the People” who can make the difference in this world!

Thank you for listening and I look forward to sharing inspiring “American Made Stories”. Please feel free to reach out to me if there is someone whose American -made story needs to be told!

Wow, it was an honor to sit down with a real life Andy Griffith!!! Tune in to hear from the legendary Eddie Cathey.
Sheriff Eddie Cathey has been in law enforcement for more than 45 years. He grew up in western North Carolina but has lived all around the state during his years with the Highway Patrol. Sheriff Cathey graduated from Pisgah High School in 1967. He worked at construction and at the Enka nylon plant until being inducted into the United States Army in 1969. He completed basic training at Ft. Bragg and was assigned to the military police training at Fort Gordon, Georgia. After training he was assigned to Korea at a Nuclear Hercules missile site on the Yellow Sea. While there he was given secret clearance to work inside the missile site. He was later promoted to the section director for the attack dog section responsible for security for the sight.

Sheriff Cathey was honorably discharged after his tour of duty and returned home to the textile plant where he soon decided to pursue a career in law enforcement at the Canton Police Department.

After eleven months he applied and was accepted by the Highway Patrol. In August of 1974 he was assigned to Union County as his first duty station. He was selected to be in the first class of sniper trained Highway Patrolmen in the State and was selected under Governor Martin to be in the first class trained under the secret service training for executive security. In 1985 he was promoted to Line Sergeant and assigned to Scotland, Hoke, and Richmond counties. He later transferred to Henderson, Polk, and Transylvania counties. In 1989 he was promoted to First Sergeant and assigned to Roanoke Rapids supervising Halifax and North Hampton counties until being transferred back to Union County in 1991 where he remained as the First Sergeant over Union and Anson Counties until his retirement on September 30, 2000.

During his career he transported and was responsible for the security of such dignitaries as President Gerald Ford, Senator Robert Dole, West Virginia Governor Nelson Rockefeller, Jr.; North Carolina Governors’ James Holshouser, Jim Hunt and Jim Martin, United States Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, United States Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, The Dalai Lama, numerous heads of state and dignitaries and last but not least, Elvis Presley and Mick Jaggar.

He was elected Sheriff of Union County and was sworn in on December 1, 2002.

Sheriff Cathey has been quoted as saying that becoming Sheriff has been one of the best decisions he has ever made and hasn't found anything about the job that he does not like.

Ground 40 Ministries is the first non-profit interview on American Made Stories!
Today's interview is with Wesley Keziah, founder of Ground 40 Ministries.
Recovery is possible.
From 82 arrests, alcoholism, addiction and hopelessness, Wesley Keziah shares the story behind Ground 40 Ministries.
Ground 40 Ministries help men transition back into the community from homelessness, addiction, and incarceration.

Ground 40 Ministries facilitates this through discipleship, and educating them on strong, biblical principles, through a practical three stage process listed below.
The process starts at our Ground 40 Farm. This is where, for one month, men get the chance to disconnect, and solely focus on their sobriety and relationship with the Lord, free of all noise and distractions.
After the farm, the men move on to our second stage, the Ground 40 Ranch. For 5 months, at the ranch, the men get the chance to begin community service outreach, work on getting a job, and restoring broken relationships.
Lastly, the men graduate from the free, 6 month program, they then have the opportunity to move into one of our transitional homes. This is where they get the chance to live on their own, while still having accountability, working, and being back in the community.
Ground 40 Ministries cannot continue to help these men without your support. Your giving directly impact’s their futures. We humbly ask you to consider becoming a monthly donor to help us save these men’s lives.
After listening to Wesley Keziah's story and the heart behind Ground 40 Ministry, if you feel a call to donate, please see the link below:
