ESPN says the Chicago Bulls may not seriously contend until 2032 — but is that timeline fair, or way too pessimistic?On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down ESPN placing the Bulls in its “Maybe by 2032” tier, a group built around teams that may have promising young talent but still look years away from true championship contention. The logic is understandable: Chicago is coming off a 31-win season, finished near the bottom of the league offensively and defensively, and still has a new front office, new coach and unproven young core.But Haize pushes back on the idea that Chicago automatically needs most of the decade before it can matter again. If Caleb Wilson becomes a true franchise player, the rebuild changes immediately. If Matas Buzelis makes a Year 3 leap into borderline All-Star territory, the Bulls may already have two major pieces. And if Josh Giddey settles in as an elite connector rather than trying to be the superstar, Chicago's timeline could move up fast.Haize also looks at why ESPN has a point: the Bulls do not yet have a proven No. 1 option, lack meaningful playoff experience, still have major defensive questions, and are rebuilding in a crowded Eastern Conference. But in today's NBA, six years is an eternity — and if Wilson, Buzelis, Giddey, Nic Claxton, Tiago Splitter and Bryson Graham hit the right developmental checkpoints, Chicago could enter serious contention conversations closer to 2029 or 2030 than 2032.

Your voice, your cry, your worship — they have the ability to move the hand of God. Pastor Sheryl Brady reminds us that worship isn't passive. When singers and dancers preceded Israel into battle in the Old Testament, their enemies weren't frightened by their talent. They trembled because of the manifested presence of God that worship stirs up. Yet, we often burden our worship leaders and teams to carry what should come from within us. Our thirst for righteousness dictates our worship. Jesus paid a debt we couldn't pay. That alone is worth contending for. This is the season to stop loving God from a distance. Contend for His presence. Cry out for His glory. Watch what happens when His presence enters a room. Worship transports us from one dimension into another. It invites heaven into earth and changes circumstances. We can't survive without Him. The sooner we abandon comfort and embrace this truth, the sooner our praise will follow. Message: “A Post Moving Praise” Scripture: Habakkuk 2:14 (KJV), Isaiah 6:1-4 (KJV) Speaker: Pastor Sheryl Brady Date: Aug. 2, 2026 ✨ Welcome to Your Moment of Transformation You don't have to walk this journey alone.

How do we contend for the faith? This week in Atlanta, GA, Executive Pastor Trevor Bramblett closed our study of Jude by exploring how to keep ourselves in God's love and build one another up in the faith.

My name is Rev. Alvin Lewis of Power To Change Ministry. Thank you for sharing your day with us, we would love to hear from you, your feedback is very important.Jude 1–4 (KJV 1900)1 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called: 2 mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied. 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.Power To Change Ministry           Rev.

In the midst of the 15-game winning streak from the Red Sox, they won in every which way to show the contenders they should be. Do you take the Sox seriously for the playoffs and even championships? Then, speculation about why Tom Brady is getting involved with the WWE and a review of the Weird Al concert in the Arcand Fire. And, it may be a small slate of games, but enough to present you with The Dong Report.

Www.michaelBasham.com My son, forget not my law or teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments; 2 For length of days and years of a life [worth living] and tranquility [inward and outward and continuing through old age till death], these shall they add to you. 3 Let not mercy and kindness [shutting out all hatred and selfishness] and truth [shutting out all deliberate hypocrisy or falsehood] forsake you; bind them about your neck, write them upon the tablet of your heart. 4 So shall you find favor, good understanding, and high esteem in the sight [or judgment] of God and man. 5 Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. 6 In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths. 7 Be not wise in your own eyes; reverently fear and worship the Lord and turn [entirely] away from evil. 8 It shall be health to your nerves and sinews, and marrow and moistening to your bones. 9 Honor the Lord with your capital and sufficiency [from righteous labors] and with the firstfruits of all your income; 10 So shall your storage places be filled with plenty, and your vats shall be overflowing with new wine. 11 My son, do not despise or shrink from the chastening of the Lord [His correction by punishment or by subjection to suffering or trial]; neither be weary of or impatient about or loathe or abhor His reproof, 12 For whom the Lord loves He corrects, even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights. 13 Happy (blessed, fortunate, enviable) is the man who finds skillful and godly Wisdom, and the man who gets understanding [drawing it forth from God's Word and life's experiences], 14 For the gaining of it is better than the gaining of silver, and the profit of it better than fine gold. 15 Skillful and godly [a]Wisdom is more precious than rubies; and nothing you can wish for is to be compared to her. 16 Length of days is in her right hand, and in her left hand are riches and honor. 17 Her ways are highways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. 18 She is a tree of life to those who lay hold on her; and happy (blessed, fortunate, to be envied) is everyone who holds her fast. 19 The Lord by skillful and godly Wisdom has founded the earth; by understanding He has established the heavens. 20 By His knowledge the deeps were broken up, and the skies distill the dew. 21 My son, let them not escape from your sight, but keep sound and godly Wisdom and discretion, 22 And they will be life to your inner self, and a gracious ornament to your neck (your outer self). 23 Then you will walk in your way securely and in confident trust, and you shall not dash your foot or stumble. 24 When you lie down, you shall not be afraid; yes, you shall lie down, and your sleep shall be sweet. 25 Be not afraid of sudden terror and panic, nor of the stormy blast or the storm and ruin of the wicked when it comes [for you will be guiltless], 26 For the Lord shall be your confidence, firm and strong, and shall keep your foot from being caught [in a trap or some hidden danger]. 27 Withhold not good from those to whom it is due [its rightful owners], when it is in the power of your hand to do it. 28 Do not say to your neighbor, Go, and come again; and tomorrow I will give it—when you have it with you. 29 Do not contrive or dig up or cultivate evil against your neighbor, who dwells trustingly and confidently beside you. 30 Contend not with a man for no reason—when he has done you no wrong. 31 Do not resentfully envy and be jealous of an unscrupulous, grasping man, and choose none of his ways. 32 For the perverse are an abomination [extremely disgusting and detestable] to the Lord; but His confidential communion and secret counsel are with the [uncompromisingly] righteous (those who are upright and in right standing with Him). 33 The curse of the Lord is in and on the house of the wicked, but He declares blessed (joyful and favored with blessings) the home of the just and consistently righteous. 34 Though He scoffs at the scoffers and scorns the scorners, yet He gives His undeserved favor to the low [in rank], the humble, and the afflicted. 35 The wise shall inherit glory (all honor and good) but shame is the highest rank conferred on [self-confident] fools.

Israel is in crisis, living in fear and hiding due to Midianite raids. Despite their disobedience, God responds to their cries for help. The angel of the LORD appears to Gideon, calling him to save Israel. Gideon, initially doubtful, tests God's call and receives confirmation through miraculous signs. Commanded to destroy his father's altar to Baal, Gideon obeys, earning the nickname Jerubbaal. With just 300 men, God delivers a stunning victory over a vast Midianite coalition. However, Gideon's story concludes with a cautionary note as he leads Israel back into idolatry, continuing the cycle of disobedience. Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

Have you ever been in a conversation where someone said something about Christianity that you knew was not right — but you struggled to articulate exactly why? That is the conversation that prompted this episode. In this honest and grace-filled exploration of Christian apologetics, Tanya Engesether shares a personal interaction that left her convicted — not of wrongdoing, but of the need to go deeper into the foundations of her faith. To know not just what she believes, but why it matters. And to be able to say so graciously when a conversation requires it. In this episode Tanya addresses two of the most foundational doctrines in Christian belief — the Holy Trinity and the finality of salvation in this life — with theological substance, scriptural grounding, historical context, and a consistent spirit of grace toward those who hold different views. She explores what is actually at stake if the Trinity is wrong — why it is not a secondary theological detail but the load-bearing wall of everything Christianity teaches about salvation and the character of God. She walks through the key Scriptures on post-mortem salvation and the finality of the opportunity for salvation in this life. And she addresses the question every thoughtful Christian wrestles with: what about those who never heard? Throughout, the spirit of 1 Peter 3:15 guides the episode: always be prepared to give an answer — with gentleness and respect. This is not an episode about winning arguments. It is an episode about knowing the God you love well enough to describe Him accurately — and about holding that truth with enough grace that it can actually reach the people you care about. In This Episode You'll Learn: Why doctrine is not the opposite of relationship — it is the description of the One we are in relationship with The difference between secondary issues Christians can disagree about and load-bearing doctrinal walls What the Holy Trinity actually is — simply, accessibly, without academic jargon Why the Trinity is not just a theological technicality but the foundation of how salvation works What is actually at stake if Jesus is not fully God — the salvific implications Key Scriptures on the Trinity — John 1:1, John 10:30, Matthew 28:19, Genesis 1:26 The historical context of Nicaea and the Arian heresy — and why it is still relevant today What Scripture teaches about the finality of salvation in this life The parable of the rich man and Lazarus — what it reveals about the state after death The difference between Catholic purgatory and post-mortem salvation theology The compassionate answer to "what about those who never heard?" The spirit of 1 Peter 3:15 — how to hold hard conversations with gentleness and respect Why knowing what you believe is not arrogance — it is an act of love What Jude 3 calls every Christian to — and what contending for the faith actually looks like Scripture Referenced 1 Peter 3:15 — "Always be prepared to give an answer... with gentleness and respect." John 1:1 — "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 10:30 — "I and the Father are one." Matthew 28:19 — "Baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." Genesis 1:26 — "Let us make mankind in our image." 1 John 4:8 — "God is love." Hebrews 9:27 — "It is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment." Luke 16:19-31 — The parable of the rich man and Lazarus 2 Corinthians 6:2 — "Now is the day of salvation." Romans 3:26 — "The just and the justifier." Jude 3 — "Contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God's holy people." John 14:16-17 — Jesus promises another Counselor Philippians 2:9-11 — "The name above every name." Key Takeaway Knowing what you believe — and being able to say it graciously — is one of the most loving things you can do. The Trinity is not a theological technicality. It is the load-bearing wall of Christian salvation. The finality of salvation is not a harsh rule. It is the foundation of the gospel's urgency. And being rooted in these truths — able to hold them and articulate them with grace — is an act of faithfulness to God and love toward the people around you.   I hope this episode blesses you!

This week in Summer Shorts, we dig into the book of Jude, one of the Bible's shortest letters and one of its most urgent. Jude had planned to write about salvation, but something came up: false teachers had quietly slipped into the church, twisting God's grace into permission to live however they wanted. His message to the church then is just as relevant now. Contend for the faith, hold fast to the truth, and don't let anyone reshape the word of God to fit a worldly mold. We also explore a fascinating question: was Jude actually the half-brother of Jesus? And if so, what does it mean that he introduces himself not as Jesus's brother, but as his servant? That single choice might be one of the strongest arguments we have for who Jesus really is. The same God who freed his people from slavery in Egypt came to free us from slavery to sin, and that truth, Jude says, is worth fighting for.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are firmly in the National League Wild Card race, and their improved depth might be the biggest reason why. Jim and Ryan discuss how players like Billy Cook, Tyler Callihan, Endy Rodriguez, Jacob Gonzalez, Jake Mangum and Esmerlyn Valdez have stepped up throughout the season. Even with Oneil Cruz, Konnor Griffin, Spencer Horwitz and Brandon Lowe missing time, the Pirates continue to find different ways to win. They also discuss the Pirates' plans at the trade deadline, concerns about ownership limiting payroll, potential bullpen targets and the upcoming series against the New York Yankees.

Framed around the Emmaus Road story in Luke 24—where the risen Jesus walks and talks with two discouraged disciples—Greig shows how God speaks through both His Word (Scripture, prayer, prophecy, and Jesus Himself ) and His Whisper (dreams, community, creation, culture, and the still small voice). Blending evangelical, charismatic, and contemplative traditions (including lectio divina), the book equips “normal people” with honest wisdom, personal stories, and tools to discern God's voice amid life's noise, turning monologue prayers into genuine dialogue. [N.B. Pete is a little more charismatic than I am but in a healthy way.]But you, dear friends, carefully build yourselves upin this most holy faith by praying in the Holy Spirit,staying right at the center of God's love,keeping your arms open and outstretched,ready for the mercy of our Master, Jesus Christ.This is the unending life, the real life! The Message The Most Important Verses of JudeVerses 17-23 are the most important in the letter of Jude. It is herethat Jude spells out just how he wants his readers to pursue the purposefor which he has written the letter: that they “contend for the faith once for all, and trusted tothe saints” (v.3). Jude specifies three things that his readers need to do: remember the apostolicwarnings about the heretics (vv. 17-19); Secure their own faith (vv. 20-21); and reach out torescue people in danger (vv.22-23). His exhortation is as relevant today as it was 2000 years ago.

Splinter Parties and the Global Shadow Guest: David Pietrusza Book Title: Roosevelt Sweeps Nation: FDR's 1936 Landslide and the Triumph of the Liberal Ideal Beyond populist insurgents, Roosevelt had to contend with the Socialistand Communist parties, which held significant sway in urban centers. The Socialists, led by Norman Thomas, appealed to the intellectual "proto-faction" in New York City, drawing hundreds of thousands of votes. More complex was the role of the Communist Party USA, led by Earl Browder, who was hand-picked by Stalin for his compliance. Under Stalin's"Popular Front" strategy to combat Hitler, the Communists shifted from attacking Roosevelt as a "tool of Wall Street" to offering a deceptive endorsement. Browder realized an open endorsement would be the "kiss of death," so the party ran its own campaign while focusing its firepower on Roosevelt's opponents. This radicalism extended to the Midwest with the Farmer-Labor Party, led by figures like Minnesota Governor Floyd Olson. Olson, a radical agrarian who also harbored presidential ambitions for 1940, presided over a volatile political climate where political violence was not uncommon. These movements reflected a "different political geography" where radical agrarianism and urban socialism threatened to peel away parts of the Democratic electorate. Roosevelt remained wary of these factions, particularly in New York and California, where they were most active. Internationally, the brewing Spanish Civil War and the rise of European dictators added urgency to the domestic political landscape, as the Communists sought to keep Roosevelt in power as a potential ally against fascism.

Michael Basham.com My son, forget not my law or teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments; 2 For length of days and years of a life [worth living] and tranquility [inward and outward and continuing through old age till death], these shall they add to you. 3 Let not mercy and kindness [shutting out all hatred and selfishness] and truth [shutting out all deliberate hypocrisy or falsehood] forsake you; bind them about your neck, write them upon the tablet of your heart. 4 So shall you find favor, good understanding, and high esteem in the sight [or judgment] of God and man. 5 Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. 6 In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths. 7 Be not wise in your own eyes; reverently fear and worship the Lord and turn [entirely] away from evil. 8 It shall be health to your nerves and sinews, and marrow and moistening to your bones. 9 Honor the Lord with your capital and sufficiency [from righteous labors] and with the firstfruits of all your income; 10 So shall your storage places be filled with plenty, and your vats shall be overflowing with new wine. 11 My son, do not despise or shrink from the chastening of the Lord [His correction by punishment or by subjection to suffering or trial]; neither be weary of or impatient about or loathe or abhor His reproof, 12 For whom the Lord loves He corrects, even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights. 13 Happy (blessed, fortunate, enviable) is the man who finds skillful and godly Wisdom, and the man who gets understanding [drawing it forth from God's Word and life's experiences], 14 For the gaining of it is better than the gaining of silver, and the profit of it better than fine gold. 15 Skillful and godly [a]Wisdom is more precious than rubies; and nothing you can wish for is to be compared to her. 16 Length of days is in her right hand, and in her left hand are riches and honor. 17 Her ways are highways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. 18 She is a tree of life to those who lay hold on her; and happy (blessed, fortunate, to be envied) is everyone who holds her fast. 19 The Lord by skillful and godly Wisdom has founded the earth; by understanding He has established the heavens. 20 By His knowledge the deeps were broken up, and the skies distill the dew. 21 My son, let them not escape from your sight, but keep sound and godly Wisdom and discretion, 22 And they will be life to your inner self, and a gracious ornament to your neck (your outer self). 23 Then you will walk in your way securely and in confident trust, and you shall not dash your foot or stumble. 24 When you lie down, you shall not be afraid; yes, you shall lie down, and your sleep shall be sweet. 25 Be not afraid of sudden terror and panic, nor of the stormy blast or the storm and ruin of the wicked when it comes [for you will be guiltless], 26 For the Lord shall be your confidence, firm and strong, and shall keep your foot from being caught [in a trap or some hidden danger]. 27 Withhold not good from those to whom it is due [its rightful owners], when it is in the power of your hand to do it. 28 Do not say to your neighbor, Go, and come again; and tomorrow I will give it—when you have it with you. 29 Do not contrive or dig up or cultivate evil against your neighbor, who dwells trustingly and confidently beside you. 30 Contend not with a man for no reason—when he has done you no wrong. 31 Do not resentfully envy and be jealous of an unscrupulous, grasping man, and choose none of his ways. 32 For the perverse are an abomination [extremely disgusting and detestable] to the Lord; but His confidential communion and secret counsel are with the [uncompromisingly] righteous (those who are upright and in right standing with Him). 33 The curse of the Lord is in and on the house of the wicked, but He declares blessed (joyful and favored with blessings) the home of the just and consistently righteous. 34 Though He scoffs at the scoffers and scorns the scorners, yet He gives His undeserved favor to the low [in rank], the humble, and the afflicted. 35 The wise shall inherit glory (all honor and good) but shame is the highest rank conferred on [self-confident] fools.

Judes poetic letter to the church comes with exhortation. He really just wants to bring the Gospel message, but there is trouble brewing inside of the church that needs addressing. This is a relevant message for the church today, where believers should be taught to Contend for the Faith! Jude 1: 1-4
