Brett and Ariya give their initial reactions to FSU being named the No. 9 overall seed. The Noles welcome Northeastern (CAA), Mississippi State (SEC) and Bethune Cookman (SWAC) in the Tallahassee Regional. The guys breakdown the 4 teams on the surface and what to expect from each. They also chat about the pairing with Oregon State and a potential trip to Corvallis for Supers, but also note TCU and USC could give the Beavers a major push. The quick show ends with thoughts on who to start Friday vs. Bethune and why playing the day game is preferred for FSU.

Today, we have two messages as we continue our Sermon on the Mount series. Jimmy Cleary and Andy Rosse each unpack one of the most sobering passages in Scripture — Matthew 7:21-23 — revealing the uncomfortable truth that religious activity alone doesn't secure eternity.We're challenged to examine our hearts honestly: Are we relying on empty religious activities, or do we have a daily habit of repentance and a genuine relationship with Christ? If you've ever felt uncertain about your standing with God or questioned whether your life reflects your beliefs, this message offers clarity and hope.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on May 25, 2025, at 8:30am & 10:15am.

Worship director Justin Jackson continues our Sermon on the Mount series."A wolf in sheep's clothing" is someone who appears harmless but is inwardly destructive. Jesus warns us about false teachers who will come like this, and tells us to be on guard because the ways deception can creep into the truth are subtle.This isn't just about identifying those who might lead us astray; it's a call to examine our own understanding of truth and the path we're choosing to walk. Thankfully, there is a practical way Jesus equips us to discern what's genuine.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on May 18, 2025, at 11:00am.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Sermon on the Mount series.There are moments in life when thinking about decisions isn't enough—when you have to choose. In Matthew 7, Jesus brings us to exactly that crossroads.He presents us with two clear paths: a narrow gate opening to a hard road, leading to real life, or a wide gate leading down an easy road, ultimately ending in ruin. Faith in Jesus isn't just a one-time moment—it's also a continuous journey of choosing to follow Him, even when it's difficult. Today, Jesus asks us directly: "Are you in?"Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on May 11, 2025, at 9:30am.

Oregon State had a chance to lead in the NIL era. And said no.Beavs Legend Steve Johnson returns to share his inside story of a groundbreaking proposal to elevate OSU Men's Basketball through alumni engagement, academic partnerships, and a modern, sustainable NIL strategy. Backed by the College of Business, it was a chance to lead with vision.Instead, the Athletic Department walked away.We break down every layer of this story, especially the jaw-dropping moment a Deputy AD allegedly said in a meeting with Johnson: “No one will remember you in 15 years… even if you're Gary Payton.”This one's for every fan who's asked: What the hell is going on in Corvallis?#GoBeavs #OregonState #NIL #CollegeBasketball #SteveJohnson

About Craig Randall - I've loved stories and literature and writing for as long as I can remember. For just as long, I've also struggled with anxiety and depression. They have loomed over me, all my life, threatening to steal away whatever hope and joy i've worked so hard to build.All my work, the fiction and the poetry, was born out of this struggle as I worked to overcome and deal the hardships these struggles brought on.There's so much to the story, which I will write about later. In the mean time, just know you're not alone. You are brilliant and strong and are not a product of whatever's held you back. You got this! We got this!Oh, one of my main hopes is let men know it's okay to feel, it's okay to express, it's okay that we're not always sure how, but real strength is found in taking that step forward and bearing ourselves to those we love.We can all feel whole!

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Sermon on the Mount series.When people are difficult, Jesus doesn't tell us to avoid them. He calls us to engage with wisdom, grace, and courage. In Matthew 7, we're called to judge without a judgmental heart, pray when we feel stuck, and then act, even when no clear answer comes.And we're not just called to treat others fairly, but to treat them as we would want to be treated when we fall short. Thisisn't passive kindness; it's relentless love. The kind that pursues, initiates, and reflects the heart of God Himself. Who's God calling you to love like that this week?Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on May 4, 2025, at 9:30am.

It's been a tough couple of years for our friends in Corvallis, with conference realignment making it challenging for Oregon State to keep up with Oregon regarding revenue sports such as football and basketball.But while the Ducks are lapping it up in the Big Ten, the one thing the Beavers have held onto is baseball. That's Oregon State's thing. That's the one thing Oregon's money couldn't seemingly buy success over the Beavers since reinstating the program in 2009.Well, let's go to the internet to see how that's going:Oh.The Ducks swept the Beavers this season for the first time since bringing baseball back. And in this week's Traffic Report, Tyson Alger and Justin Myers dive into what it means if, well, the Ducks have taken the diamond for themselves, too.Plus: Our review of Oregon's spring game, the NFL Draft and Damian Lillard's injury.For more, listen to this podcast in the player above or find us over on Apple or Spotify.(Top photo courtesy of Rob Moseley/GoDucks.com)The I-5 Corridor is a reader-supported publication.

Today, youth pastor Gary Jones continues our Sermon on the Mount series.Ask and you will receive. Is this too good to be true? It's easy to doubt that God is listening sometimes, especially during difficult times. But when we really know God's heart, we will ask boldly for the good things that He has for us, because He desires to give good gifts to His children. When we trust in his goodness, we won't hesitate to bring our requests to Him, but will instead respond by earnestly seeking Him out.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on April 27, 2025, at 9:30am.

Lead Pastor Josh Carsetensen celebrates Easter by inviting us to confront a deeper hunger: the ache for a leader who doesn't exploit but sacrifices. Who doesn't scatter, but gathers. In a world full of failed leaders and broken promises, Jesus dares to say: "I am the Good Shepherd." And then He proves it by restoring the blind, rescuing the anxious, and laying down His life.What if the thing you most need isn't money, healing, or even escape, but a Good Shepherd?Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on April 20, 2025, at 9:30am.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Sermon on the Mount series.We all judge—but Jesus invites us to think differently.Not to ignore sin, but to approach others with mercy, humility, and clarity. In a world quick to condemn, Jesus shows a better way: start with your own heart, discern gently, and love deeply.This Palm Sunday, as we remember Jesus weeping over a blind city, we're reminded—true judgment begins with compassion.So the question isn't if we'll judge. It's how.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on April 13, 2025, at 9:30am.

In my 20 years living in Los Angeles, I've noticed a pattern. If you grow up on the West Coast, there's always a pull to return to the Pacific time zone. For Oregon State quarterback Maalik Murphy, coming back West wasn't what he initially envisioned as one of the top quarterbacks in the Class of 2022 out of Serra High School in Gardena, California. But after stops at Texas and Duke, the gifted QB has found his way back, now leading the Oregon State Beavers.With spring ball in full swing across the country, we're excited to welcome Maalik to the Y-Option podcast for the first time, presented by our founding partner 76.Oregon State football has always been built on successful quarterback play complimenting a strong run game with a tough defense and an incredible fan base. Now, in Year 2 under Trent Bray, the Beavers are in position to make some serious noise out West.I still remember my first trip to Corvallis. It was 2006, my 2nd year coaching at USC. We rolled into Reser Stadium as the No. 3 team in the country, only to leave with a 33-31 loss and the sound of chainsaws ringing in our ears. That game wasn't my first introduction to the Beavs, though. I had already faced them as a player in the 2002 Insight Bowl while starting for Pitt. We won, and freshman Larry Fitzgerald became a household name that night. But what stuck with me was Oregon State's identity - tough, disciplined, and relentless.Fast forward to today, and the man leading the Beavers is a familiar name. Bray was a linebacker on that 2002 team and now holds his dream job as Oregon State's head coach. And this offseason, he might have landed his dream quarterback.When the Pac-12 reshaped itself last season, skeptics doubted whether the Beavers could land an elite quarterback in the transfer portal. But Beaver Nation proved them wrong. Coach Bray, offensive coordinator/QB coach Ryan Gunderson, and the Oregon State staff made their pitch, and one of the hottest names in the portal chose them. As Maalik shared with me on Y-Option, he's never been happier, or more confident.Hearing that was special. Maalik Murphy is the type of leader young quarterbacks should look up to - a model of resilience and perseverance.We hope you enjoy today's conversation. And to those of you in our Y-Option paid community - thank you for your continued support.Back to spring ball film study!Much love and Stay Steady,YogiThis episode is executive produced by Jim Thornby and edited by Victor RenThis podcast is a Best Coast Media productionY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

Associate Pastor Ron King continues our Sermon on the Mount series.In a world that relentlessly urges you to chase fleeting possessions and fragile comforts, Jesus invites you into something deeper—something eternally significant. As we explore Matthew 6:19-24, Pastor Ron challenges us with a heart-checking truth: what you treasure most shapes the destiny of your heart.Today, ask yourself boldly: Do you have the courage to follow what Jesus truly says—to invest your life in what lasts forever? If you dare to see clearly, prioritizing treasures beyond this life, you'll uncover a purpose far richer than any earthly gain. Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on March 30, 2025, at 9:30am.

If your idea of spring break travel is less Cancun and more Corvallis, then we have a few ideas for you. On this week's episode of Peak Northwest, we look at some of the most overlooked attractions in the Willamette Valley that are perfect for some family-friendly day trips this spring. While most people will flock to the Oregon coast, Mount Hood or the Columbia River Gorge, you can break the mold by visiting some of these great, off-beat destinations that are sprinkled throughout the region. Here are some highlights from this week's show: A roadside attraction in Brownsville is perfect for any rockhounds in the family. Why the Albany Carousel is not your average carousel. Find birds of prey and sprawling gardens at a pair of outdoor attractions. Oregon's Bigfoot museum is a great stop, whether you believe or not.

Lead pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Sermon on the Mount series.Similar to last week's topic of generosity, Jesus calls us to pray in secret. There are many ways we might subtly use prayer or spiritual practices to seek the approval of others, but ultimately this is a poor substitute for a genuine connection with God. Prayer starts with God and ends with us. If we can follow the model of prayer that Jesus gives us, we will have a much greater reward, found in an intimate and vulnerable place of dependence on the God who loves us deeply.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on March 16, 2025, at 9:30am.

CONDE MCCULLOUGH had a problem. Actually, let's restate that. The Iowa highway department, which McCullough worked for at the time (in 1914), had a problem; what McCullough had was an opportunity. His solution to Iowa's problem would, several years later, enable him to basically write his own ticket, and the name he would write on that ticket in the “destination” category would be “Oregon.” But at the time, that happy day was several years in the future and was far from certain. The problem the highway department was depending on McCullough to solve for them was a big one, and success was far from assured. The problem's name was Daniel Luten, and he was the founder and president of the National Bridge Company. And he was a patent troll — possibly America's first. (Corvallis, Benton County; 1910s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/2407a-1111b.conde-mccullough-1of2-147.657.html)

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Sermon on the Mount series.Have you ever felt secretly thrilled when someone noticed you doing something good? You're quietly reading your Bible or helping someone out—deep down, you're glad someone saw it, even though you didn't intend it. For the last six weeks, we've heard Jesus tell us clearly: Live your life boldly so others see your good deeds and glorify God.But in today's message, Jesus flips the script in his sermon. Suddenly, He says certain things should be hidden, lived quietly, away from public eyes. Why such a dramatic shift? Why does Jesus now tell us to live parts of our lives in secret—and what's at stake if we don't?If you've ever wrestled with the desire to be seen versus the call to humble secrecy, this is for you.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on March 9, 2025, at 9:30am.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Sermon on the Mount series.Loving your enemy is a command that defies our natural instincts. In a world that teaches retaliation, Jesus offers a revolutionary path: selfless, unconditional love. But how? What does that look like when enemies take advantage of you, hurt you, and oppose what you believe?In this final statement of six, Jesus confronts a big lie: that love is only for those who love us back. Instead, He calls us to a love so radical and countercultural that it makes people stop and ask, Why?Today, we'll unpack what it truly means to love our enemies—not by ignoring justice, but by mirroring the love God first showed us.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on March 2, 2025 at 8:00am.

Getting It Back Up.Based on a post by m storyman x, in 2 parts. Listen to the podcast at Steamy Stories."Sweetie. I can tell you from experience, you got talked into the best fuck you might ever get!" The waitress said with a crooked smile. "And if you have half a brain you'll make damn sure you don't let him get away without giving you a lot more of it!" She continued as she slid out of the booth. "I think I better go get your breakfast now." I sat down in the space she vacated and looked down the length of the dinner and noted how many of the "old geezers" as she called them, were staring at us.It took a few minutes, but she came back looking a bit freshened up, at least no longer sweating, and carrying plates of food which I was really craving now. "Anything else I can get for you?" She asked in a very businesslike tone as she knelt on the seat next to me. "I think you need your face wiped though. Let me." she whispered as she planted a wet, sensuous kiss on my lips, followed by a shower of slow wet kisses that cleaned all of her cunt juices from my face. "There, much better." She said as she pulled away, both of us panting and my cock once again hard. "If you need anything else...please let me know and I'll be happy to take care of it." She said with a seductive grin and a quick squeeze of my cock."No, I think this will do for now." I said as I closed my eyes for a moment, wondering if I was going to get to eat or not, and not complaining one way or the other. She pulled her hand from my lap and got up, leaning over to whisper something I couldn't hear to Amanda before walking away with a smirk on her face."So what did she say?" I asked Amanda after the waitress was gone."She said that if I was smart I would sit next to you and keep that cock hard so I can get fucked again after breakfast.""Ah." I said as I tore into the eggs on my plate. I hadn't realized just how hungry I was.The rest of breakfast was quiet. Amanda ate without taking her eyes from me, and I wondered just what she was thinking. Finally after we had finished and the waitress had come and cleared the plates away, I asked her. "So tell me, what's going through that mind of yours? You haven't taken your eyes off me since we started eating.""I was just wondering how I managed to not get fucked by you sooner. I mean, she's right, it was the best sex I've ever had. But then again, it's also the only sex I've ever had with a man." She said quietly."You were a virgin?" I asked incredulously."Not exactly. Just not with a real cock. I mean I've done things with lots of toys, and even played around a bit, but I haven't ever been fucked that way before.""Well, I'm sorry it was such a public display then." I told her, honestly feeling a bit like I had taken advantage of her."Oh don't be." She said as she blushed. "It was fantastic. I just wouldn't have chosen to do it like this myself. But I think this place is definitely back on the menu for lunch don't you?""Speaking of lunch. If we plan on getting the plane fixed we better get over to the mechanic." I said standing up and digging through my clothes to find my wallet."Uh uh." The waitress said as she came over to the table with a couple plastic sacks. "This one was on me." She said as she wrapped her arms around my neck and planted a soft kiss on my lips, her hard nipples pressing into my chest. "And if you come back later you can have all the free lunch you want, as long as you make me cum like that again!" She whispered in my ear."Thank you. I think Amanda is already planning on coming back for lunch.""Oh good." She said with a smile. "By the way, my name is Jenny.""Hi Jenny. I'm Mike and this is Amanda. I guess it's always nice to know names, at least if you're going to have sex.""Uh huh". She added. "Don't be a stranger now." She said letting go of me. I stepped back and loaded our clothes into the bags and gave Jenny a quick kiss before turning and walking toward the doors. Every eye in the place followed us toward the door, including the few naked women that had showed up un-noticed someplace along the line.It wasn't a far walk to the mechanics, and there were a number of naked people walking around the streets, but it still felt really odd to be walking naked in public this way. I was beginning to wonder if it really was worth all this to get to into Amanda's pants. I discarded the thought quickly. Of course it was worth it! And I had a feeling it would be worth a LOT in the future. I opened the door of Freddie's shop and stepped into the cool, obviously air conditioned, shop."Can I help you?" A young lady said, standing up from where she had been bent over the fender of a rather expensive looking BMW Z4."Yeah." I said, trying to pry my eyes away from the massive tits that were swaying tantalizingly on her slim frame. "We're looking for Freddie?" I said as I took in her long blond hair and sparkling green eyes."You found her!" She said wiping her hands on a rag and walking toward us, making her tits swing even more. And now that the car was not blocking her crotch, her completely shaved mound was exposed to my view. "What can I do for you?""Well." I said dragging my gaze to her grinning face. "We had some trouble and had to set down at your airport. The sign said to find Freddie here.""What kind of a plane is it?" She asked, her smile turning serious as she realized that I was there for more than just ogling her fantastic tits."Corvallis 350. Lost power and I saw a few dips in the fuel pressure before we put down.""Wow." She said with a low whistle. "That's a pretty fancy piece of equipment. Where is it now?""Sitting out on the taxiway. That's as far as it would go.""Well, we better go get it before something happens." She said as she turned and headed toward the office. She came back a few moments later with a set of keys in her hand. "Since you came in by plane I guess you don't have a car." She said with a grin. "And you sure don't want to walk all the way back to the airport dressed like that, so how about a ride? I can take one of you.""I don't need to go." Amanda said quickly. "Is there someplace I can wait?""Sure. If you go into the back room over there you will find a nice little sitting room. No point in exposing you to all the guys who will drop in just for a quick look, if you know what I mean.""Thank you. It has been a bit; well, stressful walking around this way.""No problem" Freddie said. "OK stud, come with me!" she added as she headed to the back of the shop. As she led me outside, she pulled a helmet off a shelf and headed over toward a rather racy looking Yamaha sport bike. "You're gonna need this." She said with a grin as she picked up the full face helmet hanging on the handle bars.I quickly pulled the helmet on as she did the same with hers and then swung her leg over the bike, giving me a quick flash of cunt as she mounted. "You know. There are guys in this town who would pay a pretty penny for the ride your about to get!" She said through the lifted visor, just before she hit the starter button.I got the idea real quick that if I wanted a ride it was going to be behind her, so I stepped forward and pushed down the rear pegs. It only took me a moment to step onto the bike behind her and settle onto the small seat. What to hang on to was an issue, as was what to do about the hard-on that was sticking up between us."Go ahead. Wrap 'em around me and hold on tight!" She said with a laugh as I tentatively put my arms around her body. Hold on tight was an understatement. By the time we had made the first turn out of the alley I had slid up tight to her back, pressing my hard cock between us, and grabbing a hand full of whatever I could around her waist. She accelerated quickly, to nearly fifty in a few seconds, and I squeezed her tight to hang on. Eventually I realized that one hand had a near death grip on a very nice tit, with a hardening nipple pressing into my palm. "Nice grip!" she yelled over the engine as she stopped at a stop sign; after which she cranked the throttle and rocketed back to fifty as if her tail were on fire. And a very cute tail at that. She took a few sharp turns, rolling to a stop in front of the maintenance hangar at the airport, almost before I realized we had arrived. "Here we are!" She said cheerily as she balanced the bike and pulled her helmet off, sitting more upright."Sorry." I said as I unwrapped my arms from around her, reluctantly letting go of the handful of tit I had."No worries. It was the best grope anyone has put on me in a long time!" She said with a giggle as I climbed off from behind her. When I pulled my helmet off here was no doubt about where her eyes were looking as she leaned the bike onto the side stand and stepped off; making the swing of her leg take a little longer than was probably necessary. The wet spot on the bike seat where her cunt had rubbed was pretty obvious as she reset her feet after stepping off. She lifted one knee almost to her chest and set her foot on the seat of the bike, leaning forward to re-tying a short boot that looked to be tied just fine, at the same time allowing me an incredible view of her exposed, and obviously wet, cunt."So what do you say we pull your plane down here and let's see what we can see?" She said as she dropped her foot and cast a quick glance at my hard cock bouncing in time with my heartbeat confirming that I had indeed taken advantage of the view she had given me. She walked over to the door and opened it using a key from the ring she used to start the bike, and walked into the gloom. In a few seconds the massive bay door began to lift open. Before it had gotten fully open I heard an engine start deep inside and a few moments later, an old airport tug came charging and smoking out of the hanger, squealing to a halt in front of me."Come on!" She called over the noisy engine, patting the narrow seat next to her. I stepped onto the unusual cart and dropped into the seat next to her just as she hit the gas and took off across the tarmac. "Don't you just love the wind blowing in your hair?" She called as we drove down the long taxiway toward my disabled aircraft."Sure. I just keep mine a bit shorter!" I said with a laugh."Depends on where you look!" She laughed back, instantly throwing my mind back to the view I had of her shaved cunt."I guess it does!" I replied, my cock gaining some of the stiffness it had started to lose. She whipped the little cart around in front of my plane, almost too close in my opinion, and then hopped out to hook up the little tow bar. It only took a moment of tugging and jerking to get my plane's nose gear to turn and connect to the tow bar she had unshipped from the side of the cart. With the connection made, she jumped back in and dropped it in gear. "And away we go!" She said jovially.As we moved at a crawl along the almost mile long taxiway Freddie leaned over toward me so far her tit was pressing into my bare arm as she asked "So what does your wife think of you running around naked with other women?""Amanda? She's not my wife. She works for me." I practically shouted over the revving and smoking engine."Really?" She shouted back, a look of surprise on her face. "I wouldn't have guessed, I mean after the diner and all.""Huh? What about the diner?""Well, I caught a little bit of your show over there when I stopped for morning coffee. I don't think that Jenny has been that well fucked in years. Not since her shithead husband left her!" I could feel my face turning red at realization that she had watched part of what ended up being a very public sex-ibition. "Well, look at you all blushing and all. I never would have thought you were the bashful type!" Freddie shouted over the engine. "It's kind of cute!"I shook my head and looked over at her smiling face as we worked our way slowly down the long taxiway. My eyes soon wandered down to her tits, glistening in the sunlight with a light sheen of perspiration that was breaking out from the hot sun. Her glance back quickly identified where my eyes were fixed."Like what you see?" She called as she reached into my lap and wrapped one hand around my hard cock. "I have to admit your pretty damn good looking yourself!""Thanks!" I called back over the roar of the motor as we made the turn off the taxiway toward the hanger. Her hand was still in my lap, now stroking my cock slowly and almost automatically; her attention focused on approaching the hanger so she didn't clip the wings of my plane as she pulled in. The roar of the tug grew significantly as we rolled into the hanger and made a fast U turn to point back out. I was impressed that she managed to make such a slick move. Not only that she had, but that she had done so one handed. Releasing my cock she reached down and hit the key on the tug, plunging us into silence. We sat in silence for several seconds before she slid out of the tug and walked off, coming back a few moments later pushing a tall tool box looking cart."Let's see what's going on here then!" She said as she wheeled it to the plane and unhooked a step stool from the side. I was surprised how quickly and how smoothly she located all the fasteners and had the cowling open; her body bent at the waist on top of the stool and her head buried into the engine compartment. I walked around the cart and looked at the screen of the laptop built into the cart; the computer in the airplane happily sharing its memories with the one in the cart. Freddie climbed down and stepped to the computer screen, poking a few keys and making small noises as her discoveries sent her mind off toward possible problems and solutions. For several minutes I thought she had completely forgotten I was even standing there, until she said "Well, it looks like the fuel pump failed, and that is one thing that is not redundant on these." as she pulled several tools from the box, with a pair of mechanics gloves, and climbed back up on the tall step stool. As she leaned into the compartment and started working deep in the engine area, I stepped behind her, and was stunned by the view I had.With her standing on the stool, her firm round ass was just at face level, and her bent body and slightly spread legs pushed her cunt out with a most inviting view. Her full outer lips were split by a pair of soft pink inner lips, glistening with tiny droplets of her moisture as they spread ever so slightly apart. It was all I could do to not just lean in and lick them, they were so inviting. I had been staring so long, and so intently, I didn't even realize I was slowly stroking my cock and that she was looking back over her shoulder watching me."If it looks that good, why don't you do something about it?" She said quietly, moving her feet as far apart as the stool would allow. My brain, fully overloaded with hormones, needed no more invitation. I stepped the few short feet between us and moved my hands to her firm ass. Giving it a gentle squeeze I pressed my face between her creamy cheeks and licked my tongue slowly up and down between her tender lips."Oh; fuck." She mumbled as I moved a hand from her ass to between her legs, allowing my finger to search out, and find, her hard clit. "Oh Jesus you're good at that." She moaned as she hung onto the plane for balance while I worked my tongue deeper inside of her and teased her hard clit with my finger tip.I lost track of time as I lost myself in her succulent cunt, her moans and wetness driving me to continue my pleasant ministrations until my mind and body demanded more."Come down here." I said, pulling my face from her cunt. She turned and climbed down the steps facing me, and then threw her arms around my neck. Her mouth pressed to mine as she pulled our bodies, her soft lips teasing mine and tasting her own juices. I let my arms wrap around her and stroke the back of her body, moving up and down her spine, from shoulders to firm ass, as we embraced; our lips and tongues teasing seductively. I felt one of her arms move from around my neck and trail down to my waist, where it slid between us, finding my hard cock. She wrapped her hand around it and stroked it in the confined space a few times before she pushed her body away from mine slightly. Her hand forced my cock down until it was bent slightly downward, and then she pulled herself back toward me, positioning me between her legs, the top side of my cock rubbing against her wet cunt."Oh yes!" She moaned into my mouth as she her arm returned to my neck and she began to hump her hips to mine, riding my cock in short choppy strokes. "Oh God yes." I heard and felt her moan as her whole body began to tremble. "I'm going to cum!" She squeaked loudly as she buried her head in my shoulder and humped her hips harder against mine. I felt her teeth gently bite my shoulder as she tried to stifle the cry of pleasure that was escaping her lips; her whole body twitching and jerking. I held her tightly for long seconds while her orgasm faded and her breathing began to return to normal, my hard shaft still trapped between her legs. Shakily she pushed away from me and looked into my eyes. "I can't believe I just did that. I don't just go around having sex with strangers." She whispered, her eyes looking into mine as if searching for something. Finally, after several long seconds, she seemed to make up her mind about what she was looking for and in a very quiet, girlish voice asked me, "Will you fuck me? Please?""I'd love to." I whispered back, reaching for her hands that were still around my neck. I pulled her hands from my neck and then used them to guide her as I walked backwards, around the wing and toward the fuselage. I felt my back come to rest against the side of the plane and pulled her close to me; letting go of her hands I slid mine down to her waist, and stepping away from the plane turned her until she was backed up against the wing. I smiled and lifted her slightly, setting her bare bottom on the edge of the wing and then sliding my hands down her legs as she leaned back. I hooked my hands under her knees and lifted and spread her legs; stepping between them until the head of my cock was just touching her wet lips. She laid all the way back on the wing and pulled her legs wide with her own hands as I rubbed the head of my cock around her wet cunt, both spreading her lubrication around my head while also teasing her now fully exposed clit."Oh fuck." She whispered as the head of my cock pressed gently into the entrance of her tunnel. I pressed in only enough for my head to slip slightly inside and then pulled it out again, rubbing it around her wet lips and back and forth across her clit. Again, I entered her extremely tight tunnel, sinking in slightly deeper before pulling out and teasing her clit again."Yes! Do it! Please!" She begged, her eyes staring straight at mine as I sunk slightly deeper into her. I pressed and slowly sunk into her cunt, allowing her to expand around my mushroom head as her cunt slowly consumed my long shaft. "Oh my God!" She moaned as my balls finally rested against her firm ass. She laid her head back on the wing as I started to slowly withdraw from her again, stopping this time while only my head was inside. I pressed into her again, slightly faster than before, her cunt gripping me snuggly with each inch that entered her. Again I pulled back, and slid into her, faster than the last time."Oh fuck!" She moaned as I began pumping in and out of her hot tunnel, faster with each stroke. I reached up to her huge, sexy tits and began to tease and pull her nipples in time with my strokes. Each time my hips bumped her sexy ass her whole body shook, making her big tits swirl around; her nipples pulled and twisted by the natural motion of her sexy mounds."Oh God. I won't last much longer!" I said between gritted teeth, knowing that my climax was building, only seconds from pumping its hot load into her sexy body."Not in me! Please, not in me!" She moaned as her whole body trembled with its building climax. In frustration, I pulled from her cunt, and pressed my cock against her wet lips with one hand. The friction of her hard clit sliding up and down the bottom of my shaft was enough to push us both over the top. Her whole body was shaking as my cock began to spew its load out, lancing shot after shot of hot cum across her tits and stomach until she was covered in my cum. Some of it sliding and dripping off her big tits.She let go of her legs and reached out to draw them around me, holding me against her pelvis as she lay panting, rubbing the cum around her body like lotion. "I always wondered how that would feel." She said quietly. "What's that?" I asked with some confusion. "Getting squirted on?""Oh, that and being fucked by a real cock . Jackie does a pretty good job of taking care of most of my horniness with her toys. But that was definitely different!""Who's Jackie?" I asked, even more confused."Jackie is my partner." She said as if that explained everything. In a way it did, but it also brought up so many more questions."Um, I see, I think." I said as she disengaged her legs from around me and pushed herself up to sit on the wing. She reached for my neck and pulled my face down to hers, giving me a long slow wet kiss that had an almost immediate effect, starting mister happy growing again."Hmmm, looks like your batteries recharge faster than my favorite toy." She said with a giggle as she felt my growing hardness against her belly. "But I think I better take care of that fuel pump before we go down this road again."

Getting stuck in a small Town on Nude Day, turns interesting.Based on a post by m storyman x, in 2 parts. Listen to the podcast at Steamy Stories.Owning a consulting business has its advantages. Over the years I had been quite successful and enjoyed a few perks for that success. I was enjoying one of them, flying to a consulting job in my Cessna 350 Corvallis, when a fantastic series of events was set in motion. I could never afford such an expensive plane, but after performing several hundred hours of independent testing on it, as part of a law suit, they sold the state of the art craft to me for a single dollar. Car type bucket seats and fly by wire technology made it one of the most comfortable planes I had ever flown.Amanda, a professional photographer that I had used a number of times on jobs like the one we were traveling to; seemed to also enjoy the comfort of this plane compared to the old 172 I used to fly.I felt the first shudder in the engine while I was busy sneaking a peek at Amanda's legs. With her lounging sleepily in the bucket seat next to me, her already short skirt had ridden up a couple more inches, and the rising sun was just brightening the inside of the cockpit enough for me to really see just how much leg she was unknowingly showing. In fact, if I caught the reflection in the LCD screen just right, I could almost see up between her legs to the light colored panties she wore. Yeah, I knew I was almost twice her age, but hell, she was hot and I was Always horny. How could I not look?The second shudder really got my attention, and I went to work in the cockpit; all thought of her panty color and legs leaving my mind as it went into immediate troubleshooting mode.I knew the electronics of this craft inside out, having done so much testing on the fly by wire during the legal suit. It only took a few moments to check and confirm that the dual ignition system of the fuel injected six cylinder engine was working as designed. We were cruising at nearly one hundred eighty knots, and everything seemed ok. But that second shudder had me on edge. I did not miss the third time it shuddered, just as I was in the middle of checking the fuel system. I caught it in the act. It was just a fluke that I happened to be looking right at the fuel pressure read out when it did it. Just for a moment, it blinked lower. Not a lot, a few pounds, but it was enough to set every alarm bell I had ringing. This baby needed to be on the ground and Now!I gave Amanda an unceremonious, almost rude, shove with my hand before I set to work hitting the GPS navigation system for the closest airfield. "Tighten your belts, we're setting down." I practically growled as my mind went through emergency modes and check lists. I had filed a Visual Flight Rules route plan so I didn't need to contact a controller, but just to be safe I punched in 7700 into my transponder and hit the ident key. The response to my emergency code was almost immediate, Kansas City flight following had me on the radio in seconds asking my emergency. After several terse exchanges with them, they recommended we proceed to Kansas City International for an emergency procedure landing. I was just about to make that turn when the engine tone changed. Air speed quickly started to fall as the engine RPM tailed off to a little more than an idle."Negative KC Center. Looks like I just lost power." I responded as my fingers started working the GPS system to find the closest airport. It was tiny, some little 'burg called Milan. I'd never heard of it, but it had a strip. I tipped the wings over and started dropping at nearly a thousand feet per minute; hoping that what little power the engine had would hang on until I could get the wheels on the ground.In the early dawn morning it was hard to pick out, but with a little help from the GPS pointers I was able to find the single strip of the small airport, sitting just outside what looked like a very small town. KC Center acknowledged my plans and stayed with me until I was out of radar contact, only a thousand feet off the ground. It wasn't my finest landing, but given that I only had one shot at it, I thought it was pretty damn good. The engine had just enough power to idle off the runway and onto a taxiway before it quit completely. But that was ok...we were down.The airport was small, and to be honest, looked pretty deserted; and the air felt like stepping into a furnace when I popped the door open. "Looks like we have to walk." I said to Amanda as I stepped out and gingerly off the wing. Even for a mid-July morning it seemed oppressively hot."Well, I suppose I can charge you mileage!" She joked as she unfolded her slim frame barefoot onto the wing. She closed the door and sat down on the smooth aluminum surface to put her high heels back onto her feet while I shook my head at her good looking, but less than functional, footwear. She slid down the smooth metal of the wing and allowed me to catch her before her feet hit the ground, the edge of the wing catching her skirt and pulling it up as she slid off. I only got a glimpse of her cream colored panties before she pulled her skirt back down and blushed a bright red. "Oops. Sorry about that." She almost whispered."Not a problem. Last time I checked I still liked looking at beautiful women's panties. Especially if they were still in them!" I responded jokingly, which only made her blush even more.It was a fairly long walk from where the plane decided to park itself, to the office complex of the small airport. It didn't take much looking around to find out that there was a mechanics office, but that Freddie was in town and didn't work on Wednesdays. That was just great! Freddie didn't leave a phone number either, but did leave the address of his shop in town. I figured maybe we could talk him into making an emergency repair.Using my i-phone I looked up the address and found that it was only a couple miles from the airstrip. A quick call confirmed that it was still too early for Freddie to be there. It was going to be a warm walk into town, but then it was better than sitting out here and roasting. After a short consultation with Amanda, we decided to trek into town and see if we could track down Freddie.City CaféIt was still early as we approached the small town, and it showed. The streets were deserted except for a few cars passing by. We found the address of Freddie's shop, but it was still locked up. I decided some breakfast might be in order and the only thing that looked open was a small diner across the street."Looks like breakfast!" I said as I led Amanda across the still empty road and entered the tiny diner. To say I was shocked would have been the biggest understatement in the book. There were a number of people sitting around eating, all naked! It looked like a nudist convention. But you could have knocked me over with a feather when the waitress came out of the kitchen with a tray of dishes, and not a stitch of clothing on."Be right with you!" She said as she turned and bent to put the dishes down, her easily double D tits swinging enticingly. She turned back and walked up with a smile on her face and only a tiny apron around her waist that failed to completely cover the junction of her legs. "So I take it your new in town?" She asked, looking past us toward where our car might be parked, if we had one."Would you like a booth?" She asked cheerily."Yeah, actually we would." I answered, after which she led us to a booth toward the rear that was a bit less in the line of site of the windows and most of the other patrons."Um, Yeah. Did we come at a bad time?" I asked, looking around at the naked patrons."Nope, it's the fourteenth." She said as if it explained everything."And that means?" I asked, cocking my head and lifting my shoulders to encourage her to explain."Oh. Yeah. I guess you're not from here. It's a City ordinance. No clothes in public for National Nude day, unless of course you are from out of town. We can't force you visitors to participate, but everyone in town does, or they stay home." She said with a smile and a shrug. "I can loan you a bag for your clothes if you want." She said, as she set our table with cutlery and menues. She was also eyeing the growing bulge in my pants, as I watched her absolutely fantastic tits jiggle over our table."Just so I understand, everyone in town goes nude? And this happens why?" I asked."National Nude Day. The whole town had a say in it and we decided to make it a town holiday. Some of the townsfolk floated the idea as a joke. Me and a few others called their bluff. It's been that way a few years now. Everybody seems to like it. E used to set it for the actual day that the rest of the nation observes, but the town just turned into a traffic jam and our residents became internet fodder. So now we have a town committee setting a random summer day, and only give a 48 hour notice. The result is really good for business, since a lot of travelers come here hoping to get lucky, and patronizing the businesses all summer long.""I can see why." I said looking around at the mostly male population of the diner and thinking that most of them were probably not here for the food."Here you go” she said, handing us our menus. “And really, I'd be happy to loan you a sack for your clothes. I mean if you want to take them off and all." She said with a wink. "I'll be back in a sec with menus."True to her word she was back in a few moments to take our orders, and if I was any judge, her tiny apron hiked up a tad more. From my seated position I could easily see her shaved mound, complete with a tiny blue butterfly tattoo. As she set down the menus she stepped her feet slightly apart, allowing me to see her protruding lips, which to my experienced eye, looked like they had been freshly stroked. My attention was temporarily fixed on her glistening lips until she bent over to place silver wear on the table and her large tits hung literally inches from my face."So what can I interest you in to drink? Coffee, juice, milk?" She asked, pulling her little pad out of the tiny apron."I think some Orange Juice." Amanda said, her voice clearly displaying her nervousness."Actually I've always been a milk lover." I said with a smile."I'm sure I can find you a nice tall glass." The waitress said with a smile, turning to walk off, allowing her cute ass to wiggle seductively as she headed toward the kitchen."Seems like a nice young lady." I said to Amanda as I opened the menu. "What do you think?""I'm not sure I could go around naked all day." She replied as she looked around the small diner."Why not. You're a very good looking woman. You have nothing to be ashamed of.""Like you're going to run around naked?" She answered with a smirk."Sure, why not?" I answered."I've worked for you for how long now? Five years? I think I know you pretty well, and the way you were checking out that waitress you've got to be hard as hell. You sure you want to show that off to everyone who looks your way?" She chided with a grin, her directness surprising me."Oh? Sounds like you've been watching me when I wasn't looking.""Why not? Are you going to tell me you didn't notice how far my skirt was hiked up in the plane? Come on, I'm not that naive. I know you like me wearing these skirts. I just prefer to keep my sexual activities a bit more private.""Well, if that's how you feel. I dare you to strip for me." I said, wondering if she really would."Sure. Like I'm going to run around naked? Fat chance.""That's a shame." The waitress said as she set two glasses on the table, the smell of turned on cunt clearly evident as she stood close to me. "You look cute. You might find it fun to go naked like this. It's kind of a turn on actually.""I'm not sure I can actually go naked in front of strange men." Amanda replied."You should try it. It's actually kind of fun to tease them.""Aren't you afraid of getting molested?" Amanda asked her seriously."Hasn't happened yet. Besides these old geezers come in every year to watch me. It's kind of fun to see what they will come up with next to get me to do something with them. I never will, but they don't know that." The waitress said with a smile. "So how about it? You two going to join us?""Oh, I don't know." Amanda whispered."Ok. Why don't I get your order and in the meantime you can think about it!" The waitress said, smiling at me sweetly."Well, I'll have the ham and eggs, over easy, white toast." I told her as she scribbled on the pad."And you miss?" She asked looking at Amanda."I think the biscuits and gravy look pretty good.""Good choice. I'll be back in a few minutes with your food. And if you change your mind you can use the ladies room to undress, you may find that more comfortable." The waitress said as she turned and headed for the kitchen."Might as well, Amanda. Never going to get a chance like this again." I teased."Let's admit it; you just want to see me naked!" She shot back at me with a frown. "Sure why not? Besides, didn't you just tell me a little while ago you've been intentionally wearing sexy stuff just to tease me? Just think how much of a tease this will be!""Ok, hot shot. I will if you will. But you gotta strip, right here, first! Let's see how cocky you are when you have to show off that boner!""So I get up and undress, and then you do? No running to the bathroom and hiding?" I said with a crooked smile."Um, Yep." She sighed realizing that she had walked directly into a trap."Ok! You're on!" I said, sliding out of the booth and standing up. I was just pulling my shirt tail out of my pants when the waitress came back."Oh; decided to join me?" She asked with a smile.Seems that way." I answered as I turned to face her."Well, in that case, let me." She said, reaching out for my shirt and pulling it up and over my head. She tossed it onto the bench seat of the booth and then stepped closer. "This will drive those old geezers nuts." She whispered as she placed her hand on my hard cock and rubbed it through my pants. She stroked me with one hand while the other deftly undid my belt, and the button of my pants. Her hand moved long enough to unzip my pants and then slid inside them, rubbing my increasingly hard cock through my underwear as she pushed my pants down."Nice." She said as she crouched down, bringing her face level with my underwear clad cock. She untied my low top hikers and pulled them off, and then worked my pants over my feet, leaving me in nothing but my socks and underwear. "Now, let's take care of this too." She said with a smile, looking up at me as she reached for my briefs. I closed my eyes and tried not to moan as she pulled my underwear down and closed her lips around the head of my cock. "Hmm" she mumbled around my cock, as she licked and sucked on it gently. She continued to suck my engorged cock while she worked my underwear down my legs and over my feet. "Tasty." She said quietly when she pulled her mouth from my cock. "You wouldn't mind taking care of a really horny cunt with it, would you?""That depends on whose it is?" I breathed."Mine." She said as she stood up in front of me and reached for my hands. She pulled me across the aisle to the booth on the other side and sat her ass on the edge of the table. She let go of one hand and reached for my hard cock, pulling it toward her cunt as she pulled my hand toward her chest."Oh God yes." she whispered, as she rubbed my engorged head around her wet lips. "Slide it in now." She practically begged.By that point I was thinking with my dick and willingly leaned into her, allowing my cock head to spread her lips and slowly push into her cunt. I let out a quiet moan as I felt my head expand her tunnel and pass that first point of resistance. I felt her velvety smooth walls slowly engulf my shaft, teasing its length and the sensitive spot under my head, as I slowly pushed deeper into her. Finally I felt my head press against the end of her tunnel, nestling into a little pocket next to her cervix. Her whole tunnel seemed to squeeze me with just the right amount of pressure, resisting my efforts as I started to slowly pull back out."Oh yeah. That's what I want." She said quietly as I stopped with only the head of my cock inside her, and then pressed deep into her again.Right then I didn't care who was watching. I had my cock buried in a hot cunt and my hands were busy with both her tits and her clit. I cupped and stroked her tit and nipple, teasing first one and then the other, each growing harder and more puckered as time passed; meanwhile my other fingers were busy stroking her clit while my shaft slid in and out of her wet cunt."Oh Fuck Yes!" She hissed as her body began to tremble. "So fucking good!" She mumbled as my left thumb stroked across her exposed clit. Each time I pressed into her I allowed my thumb to stroke slowly across the hard nub, and then just when I was at the end of her tunnel I would rub it in small circles until I pulled back down her tunnel.I continued to work her cunt and nipples as her body shook, pushing her closer and closer to her impending orgasm. Her chest heaved and small beads of sweat began to collect in the sweet crevasse created by her sexy tits. My own climax was building with each second that I teased her closer to hers. Finally she began to spasm, her grunts and moans getting louder by the second as her body began to jerk uncontrollably. I felt her legs wrap around my waist, her heels pulling me deep into her as her whole body shook with spasms, control of her muscles giving way to her orgasm. Slowly her jerking and trembling passed and she pulled herself up until her tits were pressing into my chest and her lips were pressed against mine.The embrace was soft and hard at the same time, filled with passion and desire. She kissed me wetly for several minutes before finally releasing my neck and leaning back."God that was incredible, thank you." She whispered. "I wish I had time to play more. I could definitely get used to having this inside me." She said with a wiggle of her hips, moving herself on my still primed and hard cock. "But I need to get your food. Besides, I don't want to deprive your friend of getting some of this.""I'm not sure it's exactly what she has in mind." I said."Well, if she doesn't, I will. You won't go away unhappy. I pride myself on customer service." She said with a grin.

Today, we are honored to hear three different preachers—Jacob Mills, James Cleary, and Andy Rosse—continue our Sermon on the Mount series. Each service featured a different preacher preaching from the same text; all three are included here. You can use the timestamps in the description to jump to a different service, but if you have the time, I recommend listening to all three because each of them approaches Jesus' words with a slightly different lens and emphasis.The text from today's sermons is Matthew 5:38-42, where Jesus addresses retaliation.Revenge feels natural. It's what the world craves—what every blockbuster glorifies. But Jesus flips the script. In one of His most radical teachings, He challenges us to lay down our rights, to respond to insults with grace, and to answer unfairness with bold generosity.Does turning the other cheek mean becoming a doormat? Is Jesus calling us to accept injustice? No. He's calling us to something far more powerful—to reclaim our dignity, to resist evil in a way that transforms hearts, and to trust in a justice far greater than our own.Today, each preacher will unpack what Jesus really meant—and what He didn't—when He said, "Do not resist the one who is evil." It's not weakness. It's kingdom strength. And it changes everything.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on February 23, 2025.

This week listener Danno starts the boys off on an email about the best concert they've ever attended and what band would they love to see at the height of their powers. And after the usual goings on, Billy ends with the story of his move from Corvallis to Central Florida after Christmas 2 months ago... he, Jessica and Gunnar made it, but his truck did not! Enjoy! GO BEAVS!

Associate Pastor Ron King continues our Sermon on the Mount series.What if we lived in a world where transparent honesty was always the norm? What if everyone kept their promises and you never had your trust betrayed? What if you never fudged the truth to make yourself look good or to escape accountability?That's what the kingdom of Heaven looks like, but we're currently living far from it. So, in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus shows us what it looks like to live and speak truthfully consistently and depend on Jesus because we're not as righteous as we think.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on February 16, 2025, at 9:30am.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Sermon on the Mount series.Matthew 5:31-32 says, "It was also said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce'. But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery."While the circumstances around divorce and adultery are very personal, we want to bring a message of grace, truth, and the hope of the gospel. We hope you're encouraged by the words of Jesus, even if you're personally challenged by this topic.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on February 9, 2025, at 9:30am.

Lead pastor Josh Carstensen continues our series on the Sermon on the Mount, as Jesus flips the script on how we tend to think about lust and adultery. When it comes to sexual sin and brokenness, all of us are in need of God's grace and mercy. Thankfully, Jesus also offers us a life of freedom, healing, and forgiveness, and he gives us a better way to live. When we embrace God's design for sexuality, we recognize that our sexual desires are something to be neither feared nor ruled by, but instead something to be formed and stewarded, as a gift. We will also hear from Duan Walker, the director of a local counseling ministry for those who need practical help and support on their journey toward wholeness and healing. Please note that this is a sensitive message and is not suitable for young children.

Worship Director Justin Jackson continues our series on the Sermon on the Mount, as Jesus flips the script on how we think about anger. He challenges us to consider the question, what if God is not merely concerned with outward behavior, but with what is in our hearts? Jesus reveals that he has a much higher standard than simply not committing murder. Today, we'll explore what it means to be angry while still honoring our fellow image-bearers, and to follow God's commands not only in the letter of the law but in spirit.

The farmer was a former Union general; the pastor, an ex-Rebel soldier who once faced his forces on a battlefield. But in Corvallis, they traded enmity for friendship, and blue-vs.-gray for Beavers-vs.-Ducks.

Jared Zystro is a research and education director at the Organic Seed Alliance. Jared is based in Arcada, California. I invited Jared onto this episode so he can tell you about the Organic Seed Growers Conference in Corvallis, Oregon that is taking place from February 26th to March 1st, 2025. I first went to this conference in 2008 and it was the single most important learning experience to my seed career. I also made so many great friends and contacts that have followed me throughout all my CD endeavors. And I think that you would probably enjoy an experience like this also. So in this episode, Jared and I talk about what is happening at this year's conference and how you can participate not only in person, but also virtually if you can't make it to Corvallis. Jared and I talk about more than just the conference in this episode. We start with Jared's seed story and how it went from working summers on vegetable farms to ultimately getting a PhD in plant breeding and plant genetics from the University of Wisconsin Madison. And we finished with a deep dive into growing quinoa on both a larger commercial scale using a combine and a smaller scale with manual techniques.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Sermon on the Mount series. What if everything you thought about rules, sacrifice, and righteousness was about to be radically redefined? In this part of His sermon, Jesus delivers a powerful and pivotal message - a moment of fulfillment, challenge, and transformation - turning 1,500 years of tradition into a call for something deeper, harder, and far more beautiful. It's a statement that surprised everyone when He said it and one that we still grapple with today. Jesus freed us from the Old Testament law and gave us something much harder. Are you ready to wrestle with what it means to truly follow Him? Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on January 19, 2025, at 9:30am.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Sermon on the Mount series. Is it our mission to shape our nation's laws around Christian values? Or is Jesus calling us to something more radical? In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus paints a picture of salt and light—metaphors of influence, value, and transformation. But these aren't metaphors for political policy; they're calls to action rooted in personal integrity and love. Today, we'll unpack what it means to preserve worth, shine truth, and transform culture—not through legislation but through how we live, love, and honor others.

Pastor Ron King leads us in a message of celebration of God's global mission, and invites all of us to join in what he is doing in the world.   We'll also get to hear from some of our ministry partners as we celebrate how God is working through each of them in unique ways and locations. And finally, we'll hear from James Furlo from our Go Team, about practical ways that you can participate in the mission that God has for you. Jesus continues to send us out today because Christian mission brings healing and refreshment to all who draw near to him. He prepares us, the church, for when he will finally restore all things.

Youth Pastor Gary Jones continues a Christmas series. What if this Christmas, you rediscovered the joy that changes everything? Not just fleeting happiness, but great joy—a joy born in the most ordinary places, for ordinary people, like shepherds and like us. This joy isn't just a feeling; it's a response to the greatest news the world has ever heard: God came to us, broke through the mundane, and offered hope, peace, and purpose. Today, Pastor Gary will talk about embracing that great joy, responding to it, and sharing it boldly. Are you ready to experience the deeper, more durable joy of Christmas?

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Christmas series in Matthew chapter 2. We all have a backstory. Even villains have backstories that we can sympathize with. So how do we know what's good and what's bad? The Christmas story is full of characters with their own backstories. When we look at the stories of Herod and the wise men, what can we learn from the choices that they made when it comes to Jesus? Through reading their stories, one thing becomes clear: we are all sinners in need of forgiveness.

Willamette Springs Memory Care, a senior living facility in Corvallis, was under 'enhanced supervision' by the state, but continued to operate. As reported in Willamette Week, within the past two years the facility has been cited with upwards of 50 instances of abuse. In September, the Oregon Department of Human Services considered removing the facility's license. However, last month the facility passed its latest inspection, removing admission restrictions and regulatory oversight. Lucas Manfield covers health care for WW. He joins us to share more on the facility and the regulatory power the state has.

Every week in Corvallis a group of service providers, police and others sit down together to talk about the people in their community who are in crisis. Together, the group decides on a plan of action and works to help a few individuals with whatever they need, like housing, mental health services or health care. They call these meetings "the Situation Table," and it’s modelled on a system in use in Canada. Joel Goodwin, captain of the Corvallis Police Force, Dan Easdale, program director at Corvallis Housing First, and Ty Pos, director of contracts and outreach for Community Outreach Inc, join us to explain what the Situation Table is and how it works.

OCTOBER OF 1913 was a triumphant time for Professor James Dryden, the poultry specialist at Oregon State University (or Oregon Agricultural College, as it was then called). His name was in newspapers nationwide, in glowing tribute after glowing tribute to his success. One of his experiment-station hens had just shattered the world record for egg production with a stunning 303 eggs in a year. There was, however, one exception to the “glowing tribute” pattern in newspaper coverage of Dr. Dryden's work. That would be the weekly Cottage Grove Leader. “In our opinion, Prof. Dryden is impracticable, out of harmony with the country's best and most successful poultry breeders, is discouraging the great and growing poultry industry of the state and is therefore out of place at the head of the Department of Poultry Husbandry in our great educational and experimental institution, the Oregon Agricultural College,” the Leader's editor raged, in the Oct. 28 issue. “We would suggest, in conclusion, that he tender his resignation.” What was the Leader's objection to Prof. Dryden and his accomplishment? Not to get too clickbait-y, but seriously, it will leave you shaking your head in baffled disgust when you hear it.
