Radical Lovers Stand for Life is a powerful message from Pastor Will Ford calling disciples of Christ to rise up in Radical Love and defend the unborn. Through personal testimony, biblical truth, and prophetic insight, he reveals the spiritual roots of abortion and connects it to America's history of injustice. This is a charge to break silence, confront darkness, and stand for life with courage and conviction.   Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49452498

In this exploration of the Sabbath, we're reminded of God's intentional design for rest and delight in His presence. This teaching takes us through the biblical origins of the Sabbath, from Creation to the Ten Commandments, emphasizing that this day of rest is a gift from God for our benefit and betterment. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to rediscover the practice of Sabbath in our own lives, not as a rigid rule, but as a life-giving rhythm that deepens our relationship with God and allows us to truly delight in His goodness.Landon Pickering is lead pastor of Trademark Church in Fort Worth Texas.Get more out of today's teaching by visiting our Church Online page for things like our community guide, a weekly devotional, and the teaching slides.

EPISODE 86 DETAILS Agridime Order To Pay Millions In Cattle Ponzi Scheme A Texas federal court has issued a final judgment against Agridime LLC, a Fort Worth-based company, permanently banning it from commodity trading. The ruling also mandates the company to pay more than $102.9 million in restitution to defrauded customers, according to recent court documents. CFTC Alleges $161 Million Cattle Investment Fraud The final judgment stems from a May 2024 complaint filed by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The CFTC alleged that Agridime, along with co-founders Joshua Link and Jed Wood, orchestrated a cattle investment scheme that defrauded over 2,000 individuals out of approximately $161 million. According to the CFTC, Agridime falsely marketed cattle investment opportunities by promising annual returns between 15% and 32% on $2,000 cattle purchases. The company allegedly used funds from new customers to pay existing investors, a structure that resembles a classic Ponzi scheme. Insider Commissions and Misuse of Funds Revealed The court filings also revealed that Agridime insiders diverted approximately $11 million in undisclosed commissions. These insider payments were never disclosed to investors, contributing further to the scheme's deception and financial harm to participants. Agridime Settles Case Without Admitting or Denying Allegations Agridime LLC settled the case with the CFTC without admitting or denying the allegations. As part of the settlement, the company agreed to: Permanent injunctive relief Waiver of its right to appeal A permanent ban from commodity trading Prohibition on soliciting investment funds or acting in any CFTC-registered capacity A ban on publicly denying the CFTC's allegations The company must also ensure that all employees and agents comply with the judgment's terms. Agridime Banned from Commodity Markets for Good With the court's final ruling, Agridime is permanently banned from participating in any form of commodity trading. This includes solicitation of funds, registration with the CFTC, and any related investment activity. The CFTC emphasized that the company's future conduct will be closely monitored to ensure compliance.

In this powerful message “Pursuing God's Heart”, Emmanuel Cota, calls believers to freedom from the fear of man and the grip of pride. With honesty and conviction, Emmanuel shares how true intimacy with God breaks the need for man's approval and dismantles prideful self-reliance. Through scripture and personal testimony, he challenges the body of Christ to live from a place of surrender—where obedience matters more than platform, and proximity to God replaces performance. This message is an invitation to pursue holiness, be led by the Spirit, and find identity not in what we do, but in who we are before the Father.

The warm week continues for North Texas as the heat settles in. Today's high for the metro area will be 94. According to the National Weather Service's Fort Worth office, the humidity will make it feel more like 103. Add to that, a few wispy clouds will offer little in the way of cover or relief. The overnight low will be 77. Todays headlines include: Vance Boelter, the man suspected of fatally shooting a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband Saturday, attended Christ For The Nations Institute in Dallas in the late 1980s; a new Dallas City Council began its term Monday amid calls by Mayor Eric Johnson to focus the city government's priorities on infrastructure improvements, funding public safety and moving past the political theater that has engulfed local politics; Gov. Greg Abbott signed a package of bills Monday that aims to slash property taxes for Texas homeowners. Surrounded by state legislators, local officials and residents of Robson Ranch, a luxury senior community in Denton County, Abbott called the Texas property tax cuts unprecedented in the U.S. The bills approve two constitutional amendments, which voters must still approve in November. One would raise the homestead exemption from $100,000 to $140,000; the other would raise the exemption to $200,000 for state residents with disabilities or those who are 65 and older. Abbott said, more than half of seniors would pay no property taxes at all; and the Knox District development at the corner of Knox and Travis streets in Dallas has announced its first of several restaurants.

Join Pastor Matt Wakefield from Mercy Culture Church as he delivers a profound and prophetic message urging the rise of courageous warriors in today's challenging times. Drawing from 1 Samuel chapter 30 and the story of David, Matt explores how radical love produces courageous warriors and emphasizes the urgent need for believers to turn from apathy and compromise to passionate, sacrificial living. With references to historical acts of courage and biblical examples, this sermon inspires listeners to live boldly for God, stand against demonic ideologies, and lead a life of radical love and daily personal encounters with the Holy Spirit. The time for spectators is over; it's time for warriors to arise. 

In this invigorating episode of "Shark Theory," host Baylor Barbee reflects on his recent life lessons gleaned from participating in a golf tournament for a new high school football team near Fort Worth thanks to Julie Harper. Baylor shares how venturing out into the middle of nowhere led him to a stunning golf course, a beautiful metaphor for the necessity of intentionality and commitment in pursuing one's goals. By using golf as an analogy, he underscores the importance of staying focused on the bigger picture, even when faced with the inconvenience of the road less traveled. Throughout the episode, Baylor emphasizes the value of genuine human interaction in an increasingly digital age. He recounts his experience with his golf team, showcasing how the willingness to show up and perform, no matter what the circumstances, can redefine expectations and earn respect.  Key Takeaways: Intentionality is Key: Pursue your goals with determination, even if they lead you down inconvenient paths. Genuine Interaction Matters: In a world leaning towards digital interactions, personal connections remain invaluable. Show Up and Perform: Surprising others with your abilities can alter perceptions and build respect. Surround Yourself with Supportive People: A strong support system enhances any journey and brightens experiences. Appreciate the Moment: Taking time to recognize and appreciate your current situation can lead to gratitude and fulfillment. Notable Quotes: "All the best things in life are going to be a little out of the way." "AI might be taking over everybody's actual jobs, but there will never be a situation where humans don't need to interact with humans." "Just show up and be great at what you do, and you will earn the respect and adoration of people." "Be a good listener and be available for everybody." "You'll realize how good you have it...doing what you love."

In this episode, we break down how loyalty, when unchecked, can quietly sabotage your growth, your peace, and your business. From underperforming staff and draining clients to outdated strategies and trauma bonds, learn how to spot the difference between genuine commitment and emotional captivity. If you have ever felt worn out by people you care about or stuck in roles you did not sign up for, this one is for you.

Live from Fort Worth, Texas! The Bardtenders head to Fort Worth for the second annual Heard House to bring you live episodes with some amazing hospitality professionals. The Bardtenders had the chance to stay at the Heard House sponsored by Heard Card Game where bartenders from around the country came together to share their stories, gain access to education opportunities, and create some amazing memories along the way. Join us over the next several weeks as these bartenders share their experiences of their time in the hospitality industry!In this episode of The Mixing Glass - Olivia Stewart talks about what it was like growing up on a single estate rum distillery and sugar cane farm in Lousiana. Olivia also discusses sugar cane manufacturing technique, sugar cane varietals, and we even get to taste some of these amazing spirits! ----------Olivia Stewart is President of Oxbow Rum Distillery, which her family started in Baton Rouge in 2016. They have owned and operated their Louisiana cane farm and sugar mill for five generations, which provides all their raw ingredients for producing their estate rums. Growing up on the farm instilled a passion for all things sugarcane––and eventually rum. After pursuing an art dealing career in New York, Olivia moved back home in 2020 to help turn the distillery around during the height of the pandemic. With the help of her husband as a distiller, they refined all processes and rebranded to Oxbow Rum Distillery in 2022. Their products have won multiple international awards, including Best White Rum at San Francisco International Spirits Competition. They ferment and distill every drop from either fresh-pressed cane juice or Grade A molasses, all sourced from the family estate 20 miles from the distillery. Olivia sees Oxbow Rum as an expression of the land and sugarcane that has been part of her family and the community for generations.----------Don't miss out on any of the action!  Head to www.bardtender.com to stay up to date with all of the Bardtender content, find resources for mental and physical wellbeing, get access to education materials, and check out what all of our bards are up to!

Opal Lee is now affectionately known as the Grandmother of Juneteenth. She led the campaign for the 19th June, the day in 1865 when enslaved people in Texas were finally told that they were free, to be declared a national holiday. As President Biden signed the bill into law, Opal stood beside him. She had very personal reasons for wanting all Americans to think about freedom and the damage that racism can do.In 1939 on the 19th of June, just days after she and her family had moved into a predominantly white neighbourhood in Fort Worth, Texas, their house was destroyed by a white mob. Opal was just 12. The family never spoke about the event again.Opal went on to work as a teacher and counsellor in school, and then set up a food bank and later a farm to help those struggling to feed their families. She also organised local events to mark Juneteenth in Texas. In 2016, when she was 89, Opal came up with the idea to walk to Washington to ask the President to declare the day a national holiday. The campaign, and their petition, grew slowly at first and then a seismic event, the murder of George Floyd by a police officer, galvanised people and created a new sense of urgency to bring about change. Now armed with a petition complete with 1.5 million signatures, Opal's campaign was successful.Opal Lee is now 98, she's been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize and she's been given the Presidential Medal of Freedom – the nation's highest civilian honour.Archive used from CBS NewsPresenter: Jo Fidgen Producer: Andrea Kennedy and June ChristieGet in touch: liveslessordinary@bbc.co.uk or WhatsApp: 0044 330 678 2784

Train the Best. Change EMS.Howdy, y'all, I'm Dr Jeff Jarvis, and I'm the host of the EMS lighthouse project podcast, but I'm also the medical director for the new EMS system we're building in Fort Worth Texas. We are looking for an experienced critical care paramedic who is an effective and inspiring educator to lead the initial and continuing training and credentialing of a new team of Critical Care Paramedics who will be responding to our highest acuity calls. The salary is negotiable but starts between $65,000 and $80,000 a year for this office position. Whether y'all wear cowboy boots or Birkenstocks, Fort Worth can be a great place to live and work. So if you're ready to create a world-class EMS system and change the EMS world with us, give us a call at 817-953-3083, take care y'all.The next time you go to intubate a patient, should you give the sedation before the paralytic or the paralytic before the sedative? Does it matter? And what the hell does Bayes have to do with any of this? Dr Jarvis reviews a paper that uses Bayesian statistics to calculate the association between drug sequence and first attempt failure. Then he returns to Nerd Valley to talk about how to interpret 95% confidence intervals derived from frequentists statistics compared to 95% credible intervals that come from Bayesian statistics. Citations:1.     Catoire P, Driver B, Prekker ME, Freund Y: Effect of administration sequence of induction agents on first‐attempt failure during emergency intubation: A Bayesian analysis of a prospective cohort.

Brandon Zech and Jessica Fuentes talk about artistic legacies, including Damien Hirst's posthumous paintings, artists who have launched work into space, and artist foundations. “A lot of artists consider what happens with their body of work — with this momentum they've created during their lifetime — after their death. But, historically, people haven't thought about the continuation of art making after their death. They've thought about how their artwork gets cared for in their absence, not how can they continue to have artwork.” This week's podcast is sponsored in part by The National Juneteenth Museum's upcoming inaugural Juneteenth Festival, Freedom Vibes. The event features a conversation with Ambassador Andrew Young, performances by Orchestra Noir, The O'Jays, and the Whispers, and a block party on Saturday, June 21. Festivities for the Fort Worth event are from June 19 to June 22, and the "Declarations of Freedom" visual art exhibition opens on June 12 and runs through July 19.

Loneliness is real and loneliness is really difficult. How do I handle feeling alone and what does my loneliness mean? Fr. Mike speaks into the deep and painful experience of loneliness, especially in the Christian life. He reminds us that loneliness is not a sign of failure or weakness, but a reflection of our God-given longing for love and communion. While God is always near, Fr. Mike encourages us to be honest about our pain and to invite Jesus into that place — because even in our loneliness, we are never truly alone. Tickets are on sale now for Fr.

Today Drew is joined by the incomparable Mark Agee (co-host of our sister podcast weekly Skews) and the fellers get just a tad political. Mark shares his “experience” living through the “war zone” known as Los Angeles during the ICE protests and you’ll have to listen to hear what exactly it is about Trump the boys completely disagree on. Then we venture abroad to discuss Greta Thunberg, the freedom flotilla, and the role of PR stunts in stopping a genocide. Like Mexicans at a protest, this episode has fireworks.

In this message, Pastor Maggie Wakefield teaches on the Fruit of the Spirit: Goodness, drawing from Exodus 33 and Galatians 5. She emphasizes that goodness is not merely kindness or good intentions, but God's own character—His moral excellence, generosity, and righteousness. Just as Moses pleaded for God's presence and glory, believers today are called to pursue daily encounters with God, because abiding in Him is the only way to bear spiritual fruit. Goodness is a choice, expressed through generosity, justice, and truth, and it reflects God's glory to the world. 

June 14, 1938. It's 8:30 PM at Lake Worth Casino in Fort Worth, Texas. All eyes are on a huge high-dive platform, 40 feet in the air. And at the top? A woman… on a horse. Horse diving is one of the most popular acts in America, and Sonora Carver is one of its stars. She's been doing it for years, traveling the country to perform one of the more unbelievable stunts in sideshow history.  But a few years back, Carver suffered a devastating injury during one of these dives and completely lost her eyesight. And yet, she continues to perform this act for thousands around the country. How did diving horses become one of America's most popular attractions, only to fade into near-complete obscurity? And what does Sonora's story reveal about the complicated relationship between risk, resilience, and entertainment? Special thanks to our guests: Cynthia Branigan, author of The Last Diving Horse in America; and Vicki Gold Levi, author and cultural historian of Atlantic City.
