The real path to wealth isn't showing off—it's protecting and growing what you've earned before it's gone.

In this episode "The Publisher" Mr. Kelly Cole sits down with NFL Mom Carmen Greenard-Varnum to discuss her new best selling book "Life After Becoming An NFL Parent". What happens after the dream is realized? For years, your life revolved around practices, games, sacrifices, and unwavering support—pouring everything into your child's journey to the NFL. You prayed for this moment. You worked for it. And then… it finally happened. But no one prepares you for what comes next. In this powerful and heartfelt book, I share my journey as an NFL parent navigating life beyond the spotlight. From the emotional highs of watching your child succeed to the unexpected question of “Who am I now?”, this book speaks to the silent transition many parents face. More than just a story, this is a guide—offering wisdom, encouragement, and practical insight for parents walking the same path. You'll learn how to support your child through the process, prepare for the reality of the NFL, and most importantly, rediscover your own purpose once your role begins to shift. Because the journey doesn't end when your child makes it… That's where your next chapter begins.

The NAACP is urging Black NCAA athletes to take a stand by boycotting certain college programs in Southern states, arguing new congressional maps weaken Black voting power. Through its “Out of Bounds” campaign, the group is asking recruits to refuse scholarships and commitments, while encouraging current athletes to transfer or use their platforms to push for fair redistricting. The move is designed to apply economic and cultural pressure on schools tied to states reshaping political districts. Is it fair to the student athletes?

We're going to need that cohesion because this afternoon, we hit the sun for the ultimate challenge: the perennial boat-building competition.Using only barrels, 2x4s, and rope, we have to engineer a craft that can reach the buoy and back. Woodland's track record is a bit "sinky," so we need our freshmen and seniors to step up and prove we've got the ship-building skills to stay afloat.While we're out here, the rest of Woodland is celebrating achievement awards and tonight's college signing night for our athletes. Our baseball and softball teams finished their seasons strong at 15-5 and 16-4, so let's bring that same winning energy to the water.Stay hydrated, watch your step, and let's show them what Woodland leadership looks like!

Send us Fan MailBeing “the guy” in high school feels great until you land in a gym where you're suddenly the third shortest player and everyone is faster, stronger, and more polished. That's where this conversation with Kyle Mars, the men's volleyball coach at Baldwin Wallace University and a former Penn State D1 player, gets real fast.We talk about Kyle's path from Rochester, New York to the Big Ten, why he chose Penn State, and what it's like to embrace a program knowing you may not start right away. The bigger theme is the mindset shift every athlete faces at the next level: learning humility, earning reps, and letting great teammates and coaches push you instead of protecting your ego. If you care about college athletics, athlete development, or the recruiting process for men's volleyball, you'll hear practical advice on outreach emails, highlight tapes, and why coaches notice far more than raw talent.The conversation also takes a fun turn into stand-up comedy and performance, connecting open mics to practice reps, “bombing” to learning, and the overlooked business side of building a career. We close with a surprisingly deep breakdown of indoor vs beach volleyball, plus what it takes to balance coaching travel with marriage and real life.Kyle also shares how to catch men's volleyball, including a simple invite to come watch BW play and a nudge to check out the NCAA men's Final Four on ESPN+.

Enjoy this engaging interview with Kristy Matthews, the world indoor record holder in the 400 meters in the female 50+Masters division of Masters track&field! She can run 58 seconds for 400 meters, which is on a par with collegiate level athletes! Indeed, Kristy was a collegiate track star at San Diego State University - a conference champ in the 800 meters and qualifier for the 1992 Olympic trials. Kristy eventually took a 30-year break from competitive track, played adult soccer at a serious level, and then burst onto the masters track&field scene in recent years. She excels at distances ranging from 100 meters to the mile! (in 2025 Midwest championships she swept all these events!). She also competes at the elite level in adult soccer leagues - a versatile champ defying our typical notions of aging. In this episode, Kristy describes her empowering mindset that she claims is the centerpiece of her success, her lifestyle routine that allows her to continue to perform at the highest level, and some tips that we can all implement immediately to pursue and achieve worthwhile goals that promote longevity. TIMESTAMPS: This guest has set world records in the 400 and is in the 50 to 54 age group. [01:17] Kristy's athletic life started as a runner in college where she was on a full scholarship. [06:11] Even as she grew older and became pregnant, she was highly motivated to stay very fit in order to give her child a long presence in her life. [09:30] She had a 30 year hiatus from competitive track. [11:36] What is her secret to being able to run at age 52, with the same times as college comepetition? [18:32] Take the time to ask yourself, "How are you doing?" Embrace who you are. [21:31] Accept where you are. Identify what you want to accomplish. [23:06] Ask yourself, "Why are I doing this?" Make sure you understand all the reasons. [29:55] What does Kristy's training look like? [32:21] Kristy also plays soccer and sprints. [37:56] Unfortunately, we do not see many people competing in the over 50 age group. [39:41] Kristy is trying out Peluvas and tells Brad what experience she is having. She likes feeling the ground.

"The Most Important Paragraph Ever Written" | Romans 3:21-27

Leon Morris once said that Romans 3:21-27 is the most important paragraph ever written. The reason that he said this is captured well by what Charles Spurgeon said of this passage. He said "I do not know any passage in Scripture in which the way of salvation is more clearly and fully set forth than this one." John Piper said about this passage that, "if you understand this passage, you understand Christianity." Martin Luther said that this passage is "the central place of the book of Romans, and of the entire Bible." Nowhere is the gospel so clear. Nowhere is the logic of salvation so powerfully set forth as it is in this passage. In this passage we see that salvation is by Grace alone, through Faith alone, in Christ alone, and to the glory of God alone. This episode is a sermon that was originally preached by Jackson Hankey at a Christian Retreat for College Athletes.
