The Midwest is quietly leading rent growth while the Sunbelt continues to cool but sellers haven't gotten the memo.In this episode of The Gray Report, we break down what we're actually seeing on the ground: Fort Wayne acquisition opportunities that don't quite pencil, cap rates creeping into the mid-5s and 6s, and why discipline matters more than ever in a slow-growth environment. We also unpack preferred returns (what they are — and what they definitely are not), challenge the accuracy of CPI's shelter inflation data, and discuss whether the Fed may be making decisions based on flawed housing metrics. If you care about where multifamily is heading in 2026 — and how to navigate uncertainty without overreaching — this one's for you.

Do you know a high school student who might be interested in becoming a church worker? The Rev. Craig Reiter (Admissions Officer, Director of Vocatio – High School, Concordia Seminary, St. Louis), the Rev. Christian Schultz (Admission Counselor and Director of Christ Academy, Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne), and Nate Demlow (Student Director of Christ Academy, Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne) join Andy and Sarah to talk about the Vocatio – High School program at Concordia Seminary and the Christ Academy program at Concordia Theological Seminary. They share what a typical day looks like in these programs, what students learn and experience, why chapel is a central focus of these programs, and why each program is helpful for high schoolers considering church work.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOStep inside The Bell Mansion, one of Fort Wayne, Indiana's most historic — and most haunted — landmarks.Built in 1893 by state senator and attorney Robert Bell and his wife Clara, the Romanesque-style mansion was once a symbol of culture and prosperity. Clara co-founded the Fort Wayne Museum of Art, and the Bells were pillars of the community.But after the family sold the home to William K. Nobel, its story took a chilling turn. For 93 years, the house served as the Klaehn Funeral Home, where it's believed 300,000 to 500,000 bodies passed through its doors. Many say countless spirits linger there to this day — and some believe Robert and Clara Bell never left.Now a popular haunted venue, the mansion has become a hub for paranormal investigators and history buffs alike. In this episode of The Grave Talks, we sit down with event coordinator Lindsay Crouch to hear firsthand accounts of the building's ghostly residents, unexplained voices, and the residual energy of decades of mourning.Is the Bell Mansion haunted by its funeral home past, or are the Bells themselves still keeping watch?For more information, visit their website at thebellmansion.com.#BellMansion #HauntedIndiana #HauntedMansion #FortWayneGhosts #HauntedFuneralHome #TheGraveTalks #RealGhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #HistoricHauntings #GhostHunters #HauntedHistoryLove real ghost stories?

How did unity in doctrine and practice affect the formation of the Synodical Conference? The Rev. Dr. Cameron MacKenzie (the Forrest E. and Frances H. Ellis Professor of Historical Theology at Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, IN) joins Andy and Sarah for a series on the Battle for the Augsburg Confession in American Lutheranism to explore the evolution of American Lutheranism, the formation of the Synodical Conference, and the significant role of the Norwegian Synod. Dr. MacKenzie highlights the educational and mission efforts undertaken by the synods, particularly towards African Americans in the South, and reflects on the challenges faced by the synods in maintaining confessional integrity. Their conversation emphasizes the importance of unity in doctrine and practice among Lutherans.

February 25, 2026Today's Reading: Hebrews 4:14-16Daily Lectionary: Genesis 8:13-9:17; Genesis 9:18-11:26; Mark 4:1-20“For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.” (Hebrews 4:15)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.It could be argued that the best coaches in professional sports are the ones who've been athletes on the field. Vince Lombardi, one of the greatest NFL coaches of all time (that Super Bowl trophy is named after him), understood that playing experience helped to make him a better coach. He once said, “Coaches who can outline plays on a blackboard are a dime a dozen. The ones who win get inside their player and motivate.”Can the same be said about Jesus Christ? Is He able to motivate us because He knows what it's like to be human? Is that what makes Him such a great savior... because He doesn't expect us to do anything that He hasn't done Himself?   It's certainly encouraging that Jesus knows what it's like to be human because He is an actual human being! He was conceived, grew, and developed in His mother's womb. He was born and continued to grow from childhood into adulthood, just like human beings do. Throughout His life on earth, He experienced hunger, weariness, sadness, and anger. In every respect, He knows what it's like to be human, and yet He lived His life without sin. He can sympathize with our weaknesses, but He hasn't excused them. It's not like after His 33-year stint on earth, He reported back to His Father, “You know what, that was really hard. I think the expectation You have from them is just too high. You need to lower Your standards and give them some credit for trying real hard. I barely made it. You can't expect them to do much better.” Jesus came in the flesh, not to motivate. He came in the flesh as our substitute- to take our place under God's wrath against sin. He came to cover your sin with His righteousness. If He had not done this, we could never approach His throne of grace with confidence. Instead, we would live our lives in constant fear and trepidation, wondering if we've lived our lives “good enough” to be accepted by Him. Because Christ is our Great High Priest, who has succeeded where we have fallen short and showered us with God's grace and mercy, we have great confidence and hold fast the confession of faith that's been revealed to us. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.O Christ, You walked the road Our wand'ring feet must go. Stay with us through temptation's hour To fight our ancient foe. (LSB 424: 5) Rev.

February 24, 2026Today's Reading: Matthew 11:25-30Daily Lectionary: Genesis 7:11-8:12; Mark 3:20-35“Jesus declared, ‘Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.'” (Matthew 11:28)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Our bodies need rest. Your brain can only study for so long before you need a break. Your voice can only practice singing for so long before it starts to get strained. Your muscles can only work out for so long before they get sore (and not in the good way- you don't get swoll overnight, amiright?). A lot of times, we pride ourselves on working through the pain and struggle and boast about our achievements. But other times, we just get tired and we need to rest. Even then, is it always easy to shut your brain off and stop thinking about what else needs to be added to your list? Can you stop worrying about whether or not you've studied enough for the test, or wonder whether you've done enough reps to get ripped before Spring Break?    We struggle in this life, not only with bodily weariness, but also with spiritual weariness. Jesus invites us to rest in Him. He's the one who labors for us and assures us of everlasting rest in His kingdom.    Battles with sin will just keep coming in this life without reprieve. If we think we've conquered one sin, another is sure to arise and take its place. The Holy Spirit will continue to crush us with God's law, show us our sinfulness, and drive us to the despairing revelation that we are wretched in our sinfulness and tormented by this body of death (cf. Romans 7:24).Here's the promise that God has revealed: through His Word, His Holy Spirit, through Baptism, through Communion, you are yoked with Christ. There is no burden to keep the law. There is no mystery about what needs to be done in order to have salvation. Christ has done it all for you! There is only the promise of life everlasting. Even though we continue to struggle with sin and fail in the face of temptation, this is no indication of our status before God. Your status before Him is not determined by your ability to keep the law– rather, it is determined by your union with Christ.The Christian's struggle against the sinful flesh is truly wearying and burdensome, but Christ has promised you rest. He's promised you life and everlasting salvation in His kingdom despite your sinfulness.In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.I rest my soul on Jesus, This weary soul of mine; His right hand me embraces; I on His breast recline. I love the name of Jesus, Immanuel, Christ, the Lord; Like fragrance on the breezes His name abroad is poured (LSB 606: 3)Rev.

The Collaboration Room turns online peer networks into practical tools for pricing strategy, tax planning, succession, and psychological safety.Sponsored by The Balanced Millionaire: The Advisor Edition by Dr. Jackie Meyer | See Today's Special OfferFull show notes hereThe DisruptorsWith Liz FarrBefore they co-founded The Collaboration Room, Rebecca Driscoll and Mike Sylvester, CEO of SBS CPA Group, had both been helping accountants with challenges on an informal basis. “It felt kind of like disorganized, and we just needed one place,” Driscoll explains.IN THIS EPISODE: The Collaboration Room | Brenda Cannon | Mike Sylvester | SchedulEase | Take Your Life Back Tax Pro Community | Tax Retreat |After Brenda Cannon, co-founder of Cannon & Associates and founder of SchedulEase and the Take Your Life Back Tax Pro Community, connected them, they spent months testing ideas, questioning assumptions, and allowing the concept to grow organically before launching in the fall of 2024. “It doesn't have to be perfect, and we'll let it evolve and see what it becomes,” Driscoll says.  Driscoll and Sylvester “are completely different people from completely different planets,” Driscoll notes. She's a Millennial. He's a Boomer. She lives in Charlottesville, VA. He's in Fort Wayne, IN.  “Even to the extent of: I'm on Team Waffles, and he's on Team Pancakes. We can't even agree on breakfast.”While she initially wondered whether the generational and other differences would be a problem, Driscoll has learned “that partnering with someone who is very different from you can be incredible, because the character flaws that I have, he doesn't have.”  Their generational diversity also serves the larger purpose of modeling collaboration across age groups. “It's so important for the younger generation and the older generation to be in a room together talking about accounting,” Driscoll explains.  The Disruptors _Ep 133

February 23, 2026Today's Reading: Genesis 3:1-21Daily Lectionary: Genesis 6:1-7:5; Mark 3:1-19“And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.” (Genesis 3:8)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Have you ever played hide and seek with a toddler? They're not very good at it. Either their incessant giggling or their inability to pull their entire body behind the sofa gives up their “hiding” spot in a matter of seconds. How do you respond? You pretend you don't hear the child or that you don't see their rump sticking out from underneath the coffee table because it's all part of the game.However, when Adam and Eve hid from God, it was no game at all. Their Fall into sin destroyed their peace and communion with God, and they hid from him because they were afraid, and rightly so. God couldn't pretend that He didn't see their sin or that it wasn't offensive to Him. Their Fall had consequences.    Adam and Eve's attempts to hide from God were ill-fated. God knew where they were hiding, and He knew exactly why they were trying to hide from Him. And yet, remarkably, God sought them. He called out for them and gave them an opportunity to confess their sin. Instead, it turned into the blame game. Adam blamed Eve (and God)! Eve blamed the serpent! God's creation was destroyed. Even still, this sin was not enough for God to stop loving His creation. Instead, He proclaimed the promise of redemption that would come through the seed of the woman, through Christ. He promised to care for mankind despite their Fall into sin.   We have all inherited the sinful nature from Adam. We know that we cannot hide our sin from God. He sees it all, and it is offensive to Him and deserving of His wrath and condemnation. But we also know that the Savior He promised to send has come. He has taken our sin upon Himself and cleanses us from it.  Although it can be painful for us to admit, we faithfully confess our sins, and God, who is faithful and just, will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.      In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.In Adam we have all been one, One huge rebellious man; We all have fled that evening voice That sought us as we ran . . . But Thy strong love, it sought us still And sent Thine only Son That we might hear His Shepherd's voice And, hearing Him, be one (LSB 569:1, 3)Rev.

February 22, 2026Today's Reading: Matthew 4:1-11Daily Lectionary: Genesis 4:1-26; Mark 2:18-28“Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.” (Matthew 4:1) In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Because of our sinful nature, it doesn't always take a whole lot of prodding from Satan for us to succumb to temptation.Are you ever tempted by selfishness? After all, look at how much you've sacrificed for others. Are you ever tempted to complain? Why not? There's certainly enough wrong with this world and my life to be upset. Are you ever tempted to pass the blame? It's a dog-eat-dog world out there. You've got to be a little unscrupulous if you want to succeed in life. Are you ever tempted to worship something or someone else before God? There's always a temptation to neglect being in worship! Are you ever tempted by lust or by gossip or by greed? Are you ever tempted by worry or by laziness or by pride? How often do these temptations result in sinful action?  We cannot escape the daily assault of temptations that the devil, the world, and our own sinful flesh visit upon us. And there is nothing that we can do to overcome them. For this reason, we need a Savior! Thanks be to God, this is the Savior we've been given in Christ Jesus. Though He is God (100% divine), Jesus is also a human being (100% man). Because of this union, Jesus is the perfect human being who has done everything right where we have done wrong. He was tempted in every way that we are, yet without sin. He fulfilled God's plan for the salvation of all the world and actively kept the Law of God perfectly for you. His perfect life wasn't just to show you how it's done, but it was actually a necessary part of God's plan to save you.   Not only is Jesus' dying part of God's plan, but also His living- His succeeding where we fail. And His success in withstanding Satan's temptations was perfect.  Now, through faith, the victory over Satan that Christ accomplished is your victory. He shares it fully and freely with you. What Jesus did right is credited to you; it is declared by God to be your own! In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.O Lord God, You led Your ancient people through the wilderness and brought them to the Promised Land. Guide the people of Your Church that following our Savior we may walk through the wilderness of this world toward the glory of the world to come; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen. Rev. Chad Hoover serves as Campus Pastor and theology teacher at Concordia Lutheran High School in Fort Wayne, IN and pastoral assistant at Emanuel Lutheran Church in New Haven, IN.Audio Reflections Speaker: Rev.

What if the help we offer keeps people from healing? That question sits at the heart of our conversation with James Scott of Our Neutral Voices, a South Side entrepreneur turned community builder whose life bridges poverty, perseverance, and purpose. James opens up about growing up with a single mom, running a neighborhood telecom store that doubled as a listening post, and discovering that the most powerful gift isn't a handout but a path forward.We dig into why “toxic giving” stalls progress and how equipping changes everything. James lays out ONV's five pillars—spirituality and health, education and performing arts, financial literacy and economic development, and sports—and shows how this web supports entire households, not just individuals. He describes late‑night moments with a bass or lead guitar, where prayer and music steady his resolve, and explains why obedience to calling beats comfort every time.Collaboration is the engine behind the impact. James shares how ONV convened 28 organizations into a coalition built on simple MOUs, transparent roles, and shared wins. We talk frankly about the toughest barrier of all: internal strife, jealousy, and donor competition that fracture trust from the inside. The counter is humility, consistency, and clear values—God first, do what you say, and let people see the work. James also previews Escaping From The System, a practical curriculum that helps families use safety nets wisely and then exit them with dignity.If you've felt the nudge to start but waited for perfect timing, James's message is for you: begin today. Take one step toward the barrier—learn, ask, visit, budget, practice—and watch momentum build. If this story moved you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway so more neighbors can find it.https://www.ourneutralvoices.org/

G'daaay Legends!

In this episode, Paul sits down for a wide-ranging conversation that traces his journey from physical education teacher to multi-level basketball official — and ultimately to building Crown Refs as a global education and mentorship platform. He opens up about his early years in officiating, the mistakes and gaps that shaped him, and how struggles with game management and coach communication became the catalyst for the Rapid Response system. Paul also reflects, quietly but honestly, on navigating early resistance and criticism as the platform grew — choosing humility, consistency, and purpose over ego, and trusting that impact would win out over time.The discussion dives into practical, on-court teaching: how to communicate rulings without over-talking, why conviction matters more than convincing, and how to balance rulebook language with coach-friendly explanations. Paul breaks down some of the hardest calls in the game, shares insights on anticipation and positioning, and explains why modern officiating requires both technical sharpness and emotional intelligence. The episode closes with a look ahead at the Crown Refs Skill Development Camp in Fort Wayne, highlighting a holistic approach to growth — signals, movement, communication, leadership, and character — all grounded in the belief that the best officials keep getting better, one possession at a time.⛺️ Register for the Crown Refs Skill Development Camphttps://stan.store/crownrefs/p/crown-refs-skill-development-camp-tmq5jdse

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of attending an RV Expo in Worcester Massachusetts. I'm not looking for an RV, but am generally RV curious. I find the concept of an RV pretty interesting, and I have to say that walking about the expo revealed the range of designs that exist in the RV market. Different sizes, different features, slide outs, Fifth wheels, hitches, toy haulers, so much to take in at once given that I am a RV newbie. I also learned that RV manufacturers are always taking customer feedback and trying to improve their designs, as any good business does. What was more surprising was that the majority of RVs made in the US come out of Indiana. In fact, turns out that Elkhart, Indiana is the RV capital of the wold. I'm originally from Michigan, and frankly had no idea that RVs happen in Indiana even though it is a neighboring state. Beyond basketball and corn in Indiana, there are also RVs. Who knew?My guest today on Experience by Design is also from Indiana, Fort Wayne to be exact. Barry LaBov is the founder and CEO of LABOV Marketing and Communications, but he is much more than that. He also has authored over a dozen books, including his new book The Power of Differentiation, aimed at leaders looking to differentiate their brands and products by moving beyond a commodity mindset and showcase what makes them unique. This focus not only makes companies more attractive to customers, but also employees as it gives them a sense of purpose regarding the work they do. We talk about his work with clients guiding them to differentiate and identify what makes them unique. We explore the vital aspects of connecting customer and employee experience, and why alignment in your experience design matters. He digs into the branding challenges in troubling times as companies try to navigate the social landscape. He describes the importance of qualitative data in understanding your customers and employees, and not waiting for the “perfect data” to present itself. He also describes his experiences as a musician, touring with the band Mark Urgent and how learning music is similar to his efforts as a marketing expert. And of course we talk about RVs. Barry LaBov: https://www.barrylabov.com/LABOV: https://www.labov.com/“The Power of Differentiation”: https://www.barrylabov.com/books

Ellis Professor of Historical Theology at Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, IN) joins Andy and Sarah for a series on the Battle of the Augsburg Confession in American Lutheranism to explore the development of American Lutheranism in the 19th century, focusing on key figures like Samuel Simon Schmucker and Benjamin Kurtz. They discus Schmucker's vision for a uniquely American form of Lutheranism, the influence of the Second Great Awakening, and the internal conflicts within the General Synod as confessional Lutheranism began to assert itself against the backdrop of American religious life.

Jayda Hazelett didn't follow the traditional pre-professional boarding school path to a ballet company. The Ballet Hartford corps member grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana, trained locally at Project Ballet, attended summer intensives, and chose to pursue college at Indiana University's Jacobs School of Music before entering the professional world. In this Dancer Story, Jayda shares why she chose to stay home for training, how summer intensives supplemented her education, and what the college ballet experience gave her. We also discuss the challenges of pursuing a professional career, the importance of mentorship, pivotal moments that shaped her path, mental health in ballet, and her future aspirations including dreams of Broadway. After graduating in 2024, Jayda joined Ballet Hartford as an apprentice and was recently promoted to the corps for the 2025-2026 season. If you're wondering whether staying local or choosing the college route means giving up on a professional career, Jayda's story proves there's more than one path forward.

What happens to Lutheran identity when faced with cultural decisions, like adopting the English language? The Rev. Dr. Cameron MacKenzie (the Forrest E. and Frances H. Ellis Professor of Historical Theology at Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, IN) joins Andy and Sarah for a series on the Battle of the Augsburg Confession in American Lutheranism to explore the impact of the American Revolution on Lutheran immigration patterns, noting a significant decline in German immigrants and the subsequent assimilation of Lutheran communities into English-speaking culture. This assimilation raises concerns about the preservation of Lutheran identity, particularly as many second and third-generation Lutherans begin to abandon their German heritage and language, leading to a potential loss of their religious roots. Dr. MacKenzie highlights the challenges faced by Lutheranism during westward expansion, where the demand for preachers outstrips the supply, resulting in many untrained individuals leading congregations. He also introduces Samuel Simon Schmucker, a pivotal figure in American Lutheranism, who seeks to establish a national Lutheran church body and seminary to preserve Lutheran identity amidst the changing American landscape. Schmucker's approach, however, leads to a redefinition of Lutheranism that aligns more closely with American evangelical Protestantism, raising questions about the future of traditional Lutheran beliefs in the face of evolving cultural dynamics.

Actor and comedian T.J. Miller explains why a traumatic brain injury is his improvisational "cheat code"—and how a 2010 surgery for an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in his right frontal lobe fueled a career of manic chaos. Miller discusses the "invisible disability" of brain surgery and the high-stakes gamble of a 10% fatality rate. Along the way: a tour of city mottos, from the low-bar honesty of Toledo to the bizarre promise that Auburn, Washington is "more than you imagined." Plus, a look at the "Bulgarian" financial ecosystem of Fort Wayne, Indiana, where a three-bedroom house costs $485 a month.
