While these tribes are content to settle just outside the land God promised to Israel, their decision brings up important questions about complacency, compromise, and the cost of settling for less than God's best. What does it mean to be "close" to God's promises but not fully enter into them? Join us as we explore the tension between following God's call wholeheartedly and settling for a partial inheritance. This episode challenges us to reflect on our own faith journeys and the areas where we might be settling instead of fully stepping into the blessings God has for us. - - - Intro/Outro Music "Raga Dance Of Music" by Aakash Gandhi - https://soundcloud.com/user-363764097/raga-dance-of-music | Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0) - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/

The Mavs played and lost their second straight game with Luka and Kyrie together. It was a weird game where the Mavs could not get a stop early, definitely couldn't defend the rim, and let both Rudy Gobert and Anthony Edwards do whatever they wanted.... then the 4th quarter happened. In that 4th quarter, Kyrie Irving scored the 3rd most points of any Maverick ever has in a single quarter. Behind only Dirk and Luka. It was a loss, but you can see the potential for this team. Let's just hope Nico and Kidd can figure out the other pieces. Enjoy! You can always find Bibs on Twitter @Bibscorner and Instagram @MBibs.

The Missing Chapter: History's Forgotten Stories

The U.S. Civil War is one of the most intriguing, impactful events in not only our nation's history, but consequently world history. Within these 4 years, one single occurrence could have altered the outcome of the struggle and ultimately the fate of the Union. In September of 1862, the war was still young and both sides were experiencing moral-lifting victories and crushing defeats. Confederate general Robert E. Lee had the reputation as an accomplished, formidable advisory to the Union forces and was living up to this status. He seized the initiative in the early fall and began advancing north for a possible all-out invasion. It was a pivotal time in the war. If Lee could score a decisive victory, European nations, such as England or France, might recognize the Confederacy, and the war for all intents and purposes – would be over. The South would be a triumphant independent nation and President Abraham Lincoln's dream of a unified country would be lost.

Hour 2: Boomer presents Al with a cake for his birthday and smashes it in his face. Then they talked Giants but I was cleaning up my face and didn't hear it. Jerry returns for an update but first we talked about dinner last night with Boomer, Gio, Eddie and more. The Yankees beat the Red Sox although Judge did not homer but was very close on his final at bat. Aaron Judge made a great play on defense as well. Josh Donaldson had the walk off single in the 10th. We play a quick B&G quiz with a listener and it doesn't go well. The Browns beat the Steelers on TNF. Mike Tomlin was not happy. Jerry Jones comments on the QB situation in Dallas. Sean Payton would return to coaching for the right situation. Ben Simmons was on the JJ Redick podcast and Jerry has a clip. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer throws footballs in the crowd for Yankee tickets.
