You were never saved just to sit. You were saved to be sent.In Messengers Part 1, Pastor George Sawyer launches a powerful new series rooted in 2 Corinthians 5, revealing that believers are not spiritual consumers but Christ's ambassadors.This message unpacks the life-changing truth that God reconciled us to Himself through Christ, no longer counting our sins against us, and then entrusted us with the message and ministry of reconciliation. That means we now carry Heaven's appeal to the world: “Come back to God.”Pastor Sawyer challenges the idea of consumer Christianity and calls the church to become conduits, not containers. When we only receive and never release, we become spiritually stagnant, like the Dead Sea. But when we live as Spirit-empowered messengers, life flows through us to others.This message is a call to authority, identity, and action. You are not defined by titles. You are defined by your commission. You carry the Spirit. You represent the King.If you've been longing for deeper purpose, bold faith, and clarity about your calling, this message will ignite something fresh in you.Digital Connect Card: www.calvaryassembly.org/new Giving: https://calvarylive.churchcenter.com/giving Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/CalvaryLiveAL/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CalvaryLive/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calvary_live/ Need prayer? https://www.calvaryassembly.org/prayer Want to take your next step in faith?

You can often tell how serious something is by how people react to it. A student might think his misbehavior in school isn't a big deal. But when the principal marches into the classroom to pull the kid into his office, he realizes he made a big mistake. When the authorities put down the gates to shut down Hwy 25, you know there are high winds and snow along that stretch of road. When Adam and Eve sinned, God demonstrated its seriousness by cursing all creation and kicking his children out of paradise. Sin is serious!Sin remains serious. That's why we offer special midweek worship services during Lent. The mood is solemn. The hymns are somber. The color is purple. There are repeated calls for repentance. There are continual cries of "Lord, have mercy!" Sin is serious.It's so serious that it needs a serious solution. Sin can't be fixed with nice intentions or good works or lots of guilt. The solution to sin requires death. Only death can fix the seriousness of sin. But not a normal human death. The psalmist wrote in Psalm 2, [The Lord] said to me: "You are my Son. Today I have begotten you" (Psalm 2:7). The Lord requires the death of his only-begotten Son. Sin requires a Better Savior than we can provide. These Wednesdays in Lent we contemplate our sin and then turn to our better Savior by meditating on descriptions of him from the book of Hebrews.The book of Hebrews was written because there were Jewish Christians in the first generation after Christ who were starting to slip back into Judaism. They were abandoning their new Christian faith because they wanted to go back to the old ceremonies and laws. The author of this letter -- we don't know who it was --wrote to show how Jesus is the fulfillment of the Old Testament laws and ceremonies. Tonight, we examine how Jesus is better than the Old Testament high priests.The position of high priest in the time before Jesus lived was an important one. The high priest was the one who went to God on behalf of the Jewish people. He was the go-between. The author explains, "To be sure, every high priest is chosen from the people and is appointed to represent the people in the things pertaining to God, so that he may offer gifts, as well as sacrifices, for sins" (Hebrews 5:1). The offering of gifts and sacrifices happened especially once a year on Yom Kippur -- the Great Day of Atonement. This feast was the heart of the Old Testament law. This was the only day anyone was allowed in the Most Holy Place where God was present above the ark of the covenant. Only the high priest could enter, and only on this day.On the Great Day of Atonement, the high priest would first put on plain-looking robes and sprinkle the blood of sacrifices throughout the sanctuary of the tabernacle to cleanse the place of worship and the people who served at worship. The high priest then ceremonially carried the sins of all the people and transferred them to a goat -- the scapegoat -- by confessing those sins over it. The goat was then released into the desert -- so far away that it could never return. It would die in the desert. Symbolically this meant the sins of the people would never return. Finally, the high priest would change into the elaborate high priestly robes to offer a second goat on the altar outside the tabernacle to atone for the sins of the nation.The sprinkling of blood, the scapegoat, the goat as sacrifice -- all these actions underscored the seriousness of sin. This was the Great Day of Atonement. The high priest performed all these actions as the intercessor, the mediator, the go-between for the sinful people and their holy God. The sprinkled blood purified the people and the place of worship. The scapegoat was sent into the desert so the people could remain in communion with the Lord. The blood of the second goat was shed to atone for sin, so the blood of the people would be spared. The high priest is the one who did these things for the people.Things have definitely changed. We don't bring goats to church with us. We don't release a goat into the desert to die. PETA would be pretty upset with us. We don't burn the other goat as a sacrifice. The wind might put out the fire. We're not sprinkling blood on the altar or the people. That would be gross.The reason we don't do any of this is because your pastor isn't a high priest. He doesn't have to be. We have a much better High Priest.The seriousness of sin hasn't changed. Even if the world's view of sin has changed. The world tends to minimize sin. The world thinks it's doing people a favor by normalizing every kind of deviant behavior. First, the behavior is tolerated, then accepted, then promoted, and finally opponents of the behavior are persecuted. We're told to "follow your heart." Martin Luther said that our heart is an idol factory. The prophet Jeremiah wrote, "The heart is more deceitful than anything. It is beyond cure. Who can understand it" (Jeremiah 17:9)? Jesus taught, "Out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimonies, and blasphemies" (Matthew 15:19).Sin begins in the heart. But it doesn't stay there. It leaks into our minds. It spills out of our mouth. It flows out in our actions. It wrecks relationships. It ruins careers. It destroys lives. It condemns souls. Sin is just as serious as it was in the Garden of Eden when the Lord killed the innocent animals to create clothing for his naked children. Sin is just as serious as it was on the Great Day of Atonement when the Lord's high priest killed the innocent goats to atone for his sinful children.Despite how we and our culture treat sin, God treats sin seriously. He condemns sinners to eternal damnation in the fires of hell. But God is equally serious about providing a solution for sin. That solution is found in Jesus Christ, a better high priest.On the Day of Atonement, the Old Testament high priest put on plain clothes to show he was representing the people to God. Later, he changed into the elaborate high priestly robes to show that he was representing God to the people. Our better High Priest didn't just put on clothes; the only-begotten Son of God put on human flesh and blood. As our High Priest, Jesus serves as our mediator, taking our place under God's law and God's judgment. The Old Testament high priest offered up earthly gifts and sacrifices. Jesus, our Great High Priest, offered up divine prayers and intercessions for us, and then offered up himself as the ultimate sacrifice.The Old Testament high priest took blood and sprinkled it upon the Most Holy Place to purify it from sin and sanctify it for the Lord. As our Great High Priest, Jesus has sprinkled his blood upon us to purify us from sin and sanctify us for the Lord's good purposes.The Old Testament priest symbolically placed the sins of the people upon the scapegoat. The scapegoat would die in the desert, symbolizing that sin was gone forever. Jesus is the Great High Priest who is also the perfect Scapegoat. He takes our sins away, so they never return, for they are removed as far as the east is from the west.The Old Testament priest sacrificed the second goat for the sins of the people. Jesus Christ is the Great High Priest who is also the perfect Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. We'll examine Jesus as the Better Sacrifice next week.While Aaron, the first high priest, needed to be replaced by one of his sons, and he by one of his sons, and on down the line, our Great High Priest serves for us in that position forever. Forever and ever, Jesus holds before his Father his all-sufficient sacrifice for our salvation. Forever and ever, the Father accepts the sacrifice and is pleased with his priestly Son. The Father is then pleased with us when we accept the Son's sacrifice. This is how Jesus serves as our intercessor as High Priest.The author of Hebrews quotes Psalm 110, "You are a priest forever, like Melchizedek" (Hebrews 5:6). Jesus is better than Aaron the high priest. He's more like Melchizedek the priest. Melchizedek is a mysterious figure in the Bible. He lived during the time of Abram. In Genesis 14 we hear how Abram's nephew Lot was caught in the middle of a war and carried off by a conquering king. Abram gathered 318 of his men, defeated that army, and rescued Lot.On his way back home, with no introduction, out of the blue we read, "Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was a priest of God Most High. He blessed Abram and said, "Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth, and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand." Abram gave him a tenth of everything (Genesis 14:18-20). That's it. That's all the Holy Spirit thought we needed to know about this mysterious king and priest. No background. No more explanation. He shows up, blesses Abram, and receives a tenth of the spoils of war. Then he's gone. The only other time Melchizedek is mentioned in the Old Testament is when the Holy Spirit inspires David to compare the Messiah to Melchizedek in Psalm 110.The inspired author of this letter to the Hebrews pulls it all together for us in chapter 7. He really wants his readers to know that Jesus is better than Aaron and all the other high priests. He writes, "First, Melchizedek means "king of righteousness," and then "king of Salem," which is "king of peace. He is without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, and resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever" (Hebrews 7:2-3).It's as if Melchizedek is eternal. At least, he appears that way in the pages of Scripture. He was so great that Abram gives him a tithe of his spoils of war -- just like the Jews would give a tithe of their possessions to the Lord. Yet our High Priest is even better than Melchizedek. Jesus, our Great High Priest, doesn't just appear eternal. He is eternal. He doesn't just have a name that means king of righteousness and king of peace. He is our King who gives us his righteousness and a peace that we will find nowhere else.Jesus is God's serious solution to our serious sin. He gives us a Greater High Priest, who cleanses your heart from the sin that infects you. He washes your mouth. He purifies your mind. He changes your actions.You can tell how serious our sin is because how God reacted to it. Jesus became our Great High Priest who offered himself as the serious solution and the serious sacrifice for that serious sin. You know how serious this is by how you react to it. Amen.View this sermon (with video and/or audio recording) on our website: https://www.casperwels.com/sermons/a-better-high-priest/

When everything around us is shifting, we need something that never moves.In this timely and powerful message from Calvary, Pastor Tony Willis reminds us that while culture, technology, and public opinion are constantly evolving, God and His Word remain eternally the same. In a world full of competing voices and half-truths, believers must develop true spiritual discernment through the Holy Spirit.Rooted in scripture, this message exposes the danger of relying on intellect alone and highlights the critical difference between information and revelation. Pastor Tony teaches that discernment is not just knowledge. It is spiritual perception given by the Holy Spirit to protect the Church in the last days.You will be challenged to stay anchored in biblical truth, continually filled with the Spirit, and alert to counterfeit revivals and false anointings that can subtly lead believers astray. At the same time, this message calls us to walk in compassion without compromising truth.If you've been asking how to stand firm in confusing times, this word will strengthen your faith and sharpen your spiritual awareness. 00:00 Introduction02:03 Honoring the Pulpit and Opening Scripture04:07 God Never Changes (Malachi 3:6 & Hebrews 13:8)06:01 How Fast Culture and Technology Are Changing08:42 Discernment for the Last Days (Matthew 24:4)13:03 Information vs Revelation Explained15:44 The Bible as Unchanging God-Breathed Truth17:54 The Last Days Outpouring of the Holy Spirit19:27 Old Testament vs New Covenant Discernment20:07 The Holy Spirit for Every Believer Today21:18 Why Discernment Is Critical in the Last Days (1 Corinthians 2)23:12 When the World Lost Reverence for the Church26:58 False Teaching That Feels Right29:44 Scripture Twisted in Today's Culture33:26 The Spirit Never Contradicts the Word35:41 How to Grow in Discernment Daily37:21 Counterfeit Revivals vs the Real Move of God39:28 Prophetic Declaration Over the ChurchDigital Connect Card: www.calvaryassembly.org/new Giving: https://calvarylive.churchcenter.com/giving Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/CalvaryLiveAL/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CalvaryLive/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calvary_live/ Need prayer? https://www.calvaryassembly.org/prayer Want to take your next step in faith?

Relationships shape everything. Our faith. Our families. Our future. In this opening message of the Connections series, we lay a biblical foundation for understanding why relationships are God's idea and why their health matters more than we often realize.Pastor Sawyer teaches that every relationship in our lives flows from one primary connection: our relationship with Jesus Christ. Learn what it truly means to remain connected to Christ and how that connection determines the fruit we bear in marriage, friendships, and everyday life.It's time to ask some honest questions: Who am I connected to? What am I connected to? And why? Through practical teaching and biblical truth, we learn how unhealthy connections lead to broken cycles, while godly connections bring healing, freedom, and purpose. Whether you are navigating marriage, friendships, or personal growth, this message provides clarity, wisdom, and a starting point for lasting transformation.If you are longing for healthier relationships, spiritual growth, and a stronger foundation for your life, this series begins here.00:00 Introduction to the Connections Series

This week on News Now, reporter Taylor Inman breaks down six of the Flathead Valley's biggest and most talked-about stories — from federal policy changes at Glacier National Park to heated local land-use decisions and community highlights.We begin with Glacier National Park removing interpretive displays following a federal directive, raising questions about how public lands tell history and whose voices are represented. From there, we dive into a controversial decision approving a Lakeside marina dock extension, despite widespread public opposition, and examine why county officials moved forward anyway.The episode also covers a Montana Supreme Court ruling that clears the way for the Happy's Inn RV park, along with a proposed lease at Polson Bay Golf Course that could reshape public access and future development.

Hometown Radio 02/06/26 4p: Gary Freiberg takes us along the newly reopened Hwy 1

  Over the past couple of weeks, I received two emails from couples approaching retirement. Both couples currently own acreage. They raise cattle. They garden. They enjoy space, quiet, and independence. One couple is devoted golfers. The other wants to avoid dense development and infrastructure projects. Both asked the same question in different ways: Can we have land and still enjoy Hot Springs Village? The short answer is yes, but not inside the Village. Let’s take a drive from Hot Springs Village to Benton (toward Little Rock on Hwy 5) and enjoy the remnants of the winter storm. At the same time, we discuss how a couple might retire to Arkansas, where they can enjoy the amenities of Hot Springs Village and still raise their own cattle, chickens, and have a large garden. Here’s an important link to the 2026 Hot Springs Village Property Owners Association Fee Schedule.   • Join Our Free Email Newsletter • Subscribe to Our YouTube Channel (click that bell icon, too) • Join Our Facebook Group • Support Our Sponsors (Click on the images below to visit their websites.) __________________________________________ __________________________________________ __________________________________________

EcoRadio KC is glad to encourage awareness and protection of our world.  Our goal is to ensure our listeners are aware of how we can create a sustainable present for a sustainable future! We experience more extreme temperatures because of global energy increase. As we move to the future, it will take all of us to make the world habitable for millennia to come. Thanks for listening to EcoRadio KC! On February 2nd, 2026, host Terri Wilke will speak with Tracy Twombly about how to grow native plants from seed for your garden. Tracy and her husband, Aaron, are owners of Sow Wild Natives, a native plant nursery located at 6201 Noland Rd, Kansas City, MO, not far from the sports stadiums, 2 miles south of 40 HWY, atop the hill south of 61st ST & north of Little Blue Rd. https://sowwildnatives.com/ Sow Wild Natives opened in 2017 and they sell mostly Kansas and Missouri ecotypes.  Tracy has generously offered to speak to our listeners about how they collect seeds, how the seeds are cleaned and stored, how to start, or propagate, the seeds and how and when to set the young plants outside in your garden. Why grow native plants? From spring, ephemeral plants, whether colorful carpets on the forest floor, to the hardiest prairie grasses and colorful flowers swaying in the summer breeze, to the majestic oak standing tall for centuries and everything in between, natives provide a beauty that defines a place and makes it unique. We are blessed by the beauty of the plants that call Missouri and Kansas home. They are native to our ecological area however; our landscape has been increasingly devoted to non-natives which require more water and lack diversity. Whether you are interested in starting these plants from seed or just want to learn about which natives are easier to grow and where to plant them, tune in and learn! EcoRadio KC supports the work for a future in which humans flourish as members of a thriving ecosphere. We are all in this together and it will take all of us to make the world safe. This will be a great radio hour!   https://kkfi.org/listen/ “The whole world is one neighborhood.”  Franklin D. Roosevelt

This week on News Now, Daily Inter Lake host Taylor Inman breaks down the biggest headlines shaping northwest Montana.We begin in Flathead County, where a 34-year-old man faces a felony criminal endangerment charge after allegedly shooting out a vehicle window on U.S. Highway 2 near Hungry Horse. Court documents detail the arrest, the unusual weapons investigators say were found, and what comes next as the case heads to arraignment.Next, we look at the devastating fire that destroyed the Cattle Baron Supper Club in Babb — a family-run landmark with more than a century of history just outside Glacier National Park. Owners Bob and Charlene Burns recount how the blaze spread during extreme winds, the massive regional firefighting response, and their hopes to rebuild after losing a piece of Blackfeet and community history.We also examine the illegal killing of a federally protected grizzly bear in northern Idaho near the Montana border. With the Cabinet-Yaak grizzly population already among the most imperiled in the Lower 48, wildlife officials explain why the death of a single female could set recovery efforts back years — and why the reward for information now stands at $15,000.Finally, state lawmakers grapple with how to regulate kratom in Montana. With no current statewide restrictions and growing concern over synthetic products, legislators debate public safety risks, failed legislation, and what — if anything — can be done before the 2027 session.A big thank you to our headline sponsor for the News Now podcast, Loren's Auto Repair!

Missouri has a long and legendary history of Bigfoot sightings within the state. The Missouri Monster, or MoMo, was made famous from well-publicized sightings in 1971, with witnesses describing a creature with a foul smell and a large head. So this week I'm looking at Bigfoot sightings in Taney County, home to the tourist city of Branson, Missouri! This is another audience member requested episode, and stories this week include road crossings just outside of Branson, two separate families having their property approached by Bigfoot in Forsyth, and two friends encounter a Sasquatch on a trail on the outskirts of Branson - and a juvenile creature seems to be tagging along!

In this episode, hear highlights from his testimony about the investigation into Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election, including the fake electors scheme, key prosecutorial decisions, and why members of Congress chose to scrutinize the investigation rather than the alleged crimes.

Dan Berger will be there this year at a special Riesling table. There will also be Gewürtztraminer, Chardonnay, Grüner Veltliner, Chenin Blanc, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris. Dan likes the festival because white wines are easier to identify by their scent. The 17th Annual Festival This is the seventeenth annual festival. It has had a few different names and rebrandings.There are 64 members in the Association and not all of them produce Alsatian varietals. Dan notices a worldwide evolution in white wine tastes. There are grape varieties showing up today that were not produced in great volumes, because we lacked the technology to make the wine. Anderson Valley is eager to do a white wine festival because white wine is at the forefront of the current evolving trends in wine popularity.

//The Wire//2300Z January 9, 2026////ROUTINE////BLUF: PROTESTS CONTINUE AS ANOTHER VEHICLE RAMMING AND SHOOTING INCIDENT INVOLVING FEDERAL AGENTS OCCURS OVERNIGHT. EVACUATIONS UNDERWAY IN KIEV AS RUSSIA STRIKES CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE SERVING THE CITY.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Ukraine: Overnight, major strikes were reported throughout the country, as Russian forces conduct large-scale missile strikes on multiple fronts. Russia conducted an Oreshnik IRBM strike on the Bilche-Volytsko-Uherske Natural Gas storage facility in western Ukraine. Large-scale drone strikes were also reported throughout Kiev, which damaged infrastructure including the city's water supply.Analyst Comment: These strikes were the largest to hit Ukraine during the war so far. At the moment, battle damage reports have not been made public, however the use of an Oreshnik (which has only been used once so far during this war) would have undoubtedly crippled the gas storage facility, which serves most of Ukraine, including Kiev. The mayor of Kiev has urged citizens to evacuate, due to the inability for utility services to provide heating for most of the city.Caribbean: This morning the United States seized another oil tanker attempting to flee Venezuela. The M/T *OLINA* was seized off the coast of Trinidad, as part of the widening operation to target Ghost Fleet vessels smuggling oil out of Venezuela. This brings the total number to 5x tankers seized so far.-HomeFront-Oregon: Yesterday evening, a state of civil unrest broke out after a shooting was reported involving Customs and Border Patrol. CBP agents conducted a traffic stop of a known TdA member and his wife on Southeast Main Street, in the vicinity of the Adventist Health campus. During the traffic stop, the TdA member attempted to ram officers with his vehicle, prompting the shooting. From there, the suspects egressed from the area to the east, where they were found by Portland PD officers on East Burnside St. with gunshot wounds. In the hours after the shooting, riots broke out throughout the city, and carried on throughout the night.Utah: Yesterday evening an ambush was reported in Ogden, which originated from a domestic dispute. Local authorities initially responded to reports of shots fired at a single-family residential home on E 5800 South, in a subdivision south of the intersection of Hwy 89 and Crestwood Dr. When authorities arrived, the suspect began firing at police by engaging them from within the home with small arms. A barricaded-shooter situation developed, and after a few hours the suspect was detained by SWAT and identified as James Joseph Rios.Concerning casualties, 2x neighbors were wounded by the shooter, during the initial engagement that prompted the police response.Analyst Comment: What initially prompted this incident is unclear; at the moment it looks like Rios simply decided to start shooting at his neighbors either randomly, or due to a mental health incident. However, the investigation is still underway, so more details may come to light over the next few days.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In Minneapolis, the situation is deteriorating on multiple fronts. Following the ICE-involved shooting a few days ago, ANTIFA forces have moved into the area to establish an "Autonomous Grieving Zone" at the site of the shooting involving Renee Good. Portland Avenue from E 34th Street to 33rd Street was blocked, with barricade obstacles preventing people from freely migrating through the area. Early this morning, locals reported that police moved in to clear the obstructions from the street, however a significant agitator presence remains throughout the area.Around the city, atmospherics aren't great: rioters continue to cause civil unrest, and open and clear threats to federal agents have become routine. These threats

Join Daily Inter Lake reporter Taylor Inman as she goes over the week's biggest headlines for Northwest Montana.  Newly obtained footage shows a Whitefish police officer contacted Border Patrol less than two minutes into an April 24 traffic stop for a broken taillight. The driver, Beker Rengifo del Castillo, is a Venezuelan man who entered the United States legally under a humanitarian parole program. The call, and the weeklong detention that followed, are now the focus of a lawsuit alleging unconstitutional seizure, false arrest, and racial profiling. A preliminary pretrial conference is scheduled for Jan. 30 in Missoula. Watch the full video of the body cam footage here.Next, we share the latest update on flood recovery efforts in Lincoln County, where at least nine bridges were washed out during mid-December storms. Officials say damage to county-owned roads, bridges, and culverts exceeds $5 million, and reconstruction timelines will depend on vendor availability and federal funding approvals.We then turn to the Flathead Reservation, where voters filled five open seats on the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes Tribal Council. Three incumbents held their positions, while two seats changed hands. The newly elected council will be sworn in Jan. 2 and will soon select leadership roles.A big thank you to our headline sponsor for the News Now podcast, Loren's Auto Repair!

In this episode, hear testimony that Republican leadership refused to make part of the official Congressional Record—stories from U.S. citizens who were violently arrested and jailed by agents of the Department of Homeland Security, often while clearly identifying themselves as Americans. This is not rhetoric, speculation, or partisan spin; it is sworn testimony, backed by a Senate investigation, and it raises a terrifying question: if this can happen to them, what stops it from happening to any of us?

High winds slammed Northwest Montana this week, knocking out power to tens of thousands of residents from Libby to the Flathead Valley and forcing emergency responses across the region. On this episode of News Now, we break down how damaging wind gusts — topping 67 mph in Kalispell and nearly 100 mph in the Swan Range — led to widespread outages, downed trees, road closures, and emergency shelter operations as utility crews worked through the night to restore service.The episode also takes a closer look at the ongoing boil advisory in Libby, now entering its second week after catastrophic flooding compromised the city's drinking water system. We explain what caused the advisory, why state officials are testing for heavy metals, what residents should know about water safety, and how emergency crews are prioritizing both infrastructure repairs and public health. This episode provides essential context for residents navigating storm impacts, infrastructure concerns, and recovery efforts across Northwest Montana.A big thank you to our headline sponsor for the News Now podcast, Loren's Auto Repair!

In this episode, Adam Daigle, Business Editor of The Acadiana Advocate, returns to break down Lafayette and Acadiana's top five business stories of 2025. With years of experience tracking economic trends, major developments, and the people shaping our community, Adam offers an inside look at what's driving growth—and what challenges remain. From the long-awaited arrival of Trader Joe's to manufacturing growth, real estate trends, and the future of North Lafayette, this conversation is packed with insight. A Post-Covid Economy: Stabilizing but Still Shifting Adam notes that Acadiana has mostly returned to pre-pandemic normalcy, but some sectors continue to adjust: Restaurants: Sales are outpacing inflation overall, but performance is uneven. High-traffic corridors like Kaliste Saloom are thriving, while many locally-owned restaurants still struggle with tight margins, rising costs, and increased competition. Retail: Still strong—people are spending, and parish retail sales continue to grow. Manufacturing: One of the region's most promising economic bright spots. Well-paying jobs, steady growth, and diversification beyond oil and gas continue to strengthen the sector. Manufacturing Momentum—Even After Setbacks While Acadiana added thousands of manufacturing jobs since 2020, the closure of SafeSource Direct was a painful blow. The PPE manufacturer, built during the pandemic, couldn't compete with ultra-low-cost Chinese imports. The result: 700 local jobs lost, many held by women and graduates of drug court programs. Even so, Adam emphasizes that manufacturing remains a major growth engine. Companies continue to diversify away from oil and gas, and Louisiana's industrial corridor—from I-49 to Hwy 90—remains active and expanding. Real Estate & Housing Trends Adam continues to follow Lafayette's housing market closely: Higher-end homes that once sat on the market are now moving again. Sales volume is rising month-to-month. Rental demand remains extremely high, driven by population growth and a historic low in first-time homebuyers (just 21% nationally, with the average of a first-time homebuyer being 40 years of age nationally). Lafayette continues to see brisk apartment construction to meet demand. The market is tight—but not dangerously overbuilt. Adam Daigle's Top Five Business Stories of 2025 1. Trader Joe's Is (Finally) Coming to Lafayette The biggest story of the year: Trader Joe's is officially in the works for the corner of Bluebird Drive and Camellia Blvd. in Lafayette. Because the company is notoriously secretive, even the appearance of a permit created excitement. The land deal is expected to be finalized soon, with construction likely leading to an opening in late 2026 or early 2027. Fun fact: Lafayette will become one of only three cities in the U. S. that have both a Buc-ee's and a Trader Joe's. 2. Northgate Mall Sold to Local Investor Jacoby Landry North Lafayette's aging Northgate Mall has new life ahead. Entrepreneur Jacoby Landry purchased the property with a long-term vision for transforming the site—not simply filling it with retail, but creating a mixed-use redevelopment with potential for office, residential, and community uses. Jacoby is rebranding Northgate Mall as “The Hub,” inspired by Lafayette's nickname, Hub City, and the I-10/I-49 cloverleaf, which will be reflected in its new logo. The redevelopment will focus on mixed-use commerce, green spaces, and lighting to ensure safety and create a welcoming atmosphere. Years of deferred maintenance mean slow, steady work ahead, but the project is finally backed by a local owner committed to revitalization. The first major opening recently announced is Xtreme Health Club, a full-service fitness facility taking over the former Planet Fitness space. Owned and operated by Jacoby Landry’s sister, Rachel McCorvey, the facility will feature a nutritionist, weight management services, Botox, IV drips, sauna, hot tub, salt room, cold plunge, a health bar, and two indoor pickleball courts. Pilates and boxing fitness will also be offered, bringing Red's Health Club-like amenities to North Lafayette on a smaller, community-focused scale. It's expected to open in early 2026. 3. Buc-ee's Delayed… Again The massive travel center planned for I-10 is still happening, but Buc-ee's has pushed back construction. The company is re-evaluating store designs nationwide, impacting multiple projects—not just Lafayette's. The new projected opening is 2028. Even with delays, the development will be a major economic catalyst, generating hundreds of jobs and significant sales-tax revenue. 4. SafeSource Direct Closure One of the biggest economic losses of the year was the shutdown of SafeSource Direct's facilities in Broussard and Lafayette Parish. Global PPE competition, especially from China, made U.S. glove manufacturing unsustainable. Key impacts: 700 local jobs lost Loss of a major employer of graduates from local drug court programs Decrease in regional PPE manufacturing capacity 5. The Passing of Red Lerille Lafayette lost an icon with the death of Red Lerille, founder of Red Lerille's Health & Racquet Club and beloved community figure. Adam reflected on: Red's unmatched work ethic His legacy as Mr. America in his youth His lifelong devotion to improving Lafayette The enormous public response to stories about him Red's influence on local fitness, business, and civic life is irreplaceable. Yet, his family follows in his loving footsteps and Red Lerille’s Health Club will remain a bedrock of our local fitness community. Community Leaders to Watch: Mandi Mitchell of LEDA Adam highlights Mandi Mitchell, CEO of the Lafayette Economic Development Authority, as one of the region's most impactful leaders. “She’s got an incredible background working as an Assistant Secretary with the Louisiana Economic Development. It was a great grab to get her back here in Lafayette.” Her accomplishments include: Reviving the long-stalled Buc-ee's project Supporting the Northgate Mall redevelopment and mentoring owner Jacoby Landry to achieve great success Recruiting new business and manufacturing opportunities Expanding LEDA's role into urban planning and talent development Empowering local entrepreneurs through mentorship programs Mandi Mitchell’s philosophy that has inspired Adam Daigle and his favorite quote of the year: “If you want to change Lafayette, you have to build the people here to do it. The cavalry's not coming.” What's Ahead for 2026 Adam anticipates several big developments in the coming year: • Major Youngsville Mega-Development A massive mixed-use expansion planned south of Chemin Metairie—bigger than Sugar Mill Pond. • Continued Manufacturing Expansion Projects like First Solar's facility in New Iberia and partnerships with companies such as Noble Plastics will bring hundreds of new jobs and long-term growth. • New Downtown Hotel An 84-room boutique hotel breaking ground at the former Don's Seafood site—adding much-needed lodging to downtown Lafayette. • Drone Technology Hub Two drone companies, DMR Technologies and Drone Institute, LLC, are moving into the former Reptile Tannery Facility which was originally the L. A. Frey Meat packing plant building at 105 Dorset Avenue, positioning Lafayette as a future leader in drone manufacturing, training, and emergency-response tech. • Proposed Indoor Sports Complex A public–private partnership near the Cajundome and Cajun Field could bring a regional-scale sports facility to Lafayette, boosting tourism and event hosting. Restaurant Closures & Market Saturation Lafayette continues to lose 20–30 restaurants per year—a typical number, but Adam notes rising oversaturation and operating costs. Fast-casual and takeout remain strong, but dine-in restaurants face higher risk and shrinking margins. Even kitchen-ready restaurant spaces are sitting vacant longer than usual. Pinhook Road & Redevelopment Questions Despite frequent headlines about dilapidated hotels and blighted property, Adam does not expect major redevelopment along Pinhook Road in the short term. LCG is focusing instead on stabilizing the city's expanding “empty urban core,” particularly the Evangeline Thruway and Johnson Street corridor near UL Where to Read More from Adam Adam continues to document Acadiana's economic story through: The Acadiana Advocate The Advocate Business Newsletter Regular digital reporting at theadvocate.com You can subscribe to the Acadiana Advocate either digitally and/or print editions here.

In this episode, you'll hear what actually happened in Congress during October 2025, a month dominated by a record-breaking shutdown.
