The Knicks conversation takes over as Evan Roberts openly admits that the fear among Knicks haters is real. After another dramatic New York win, Evan and Tiki Barber dive into whether this team has the magic, momentum, and championship feel that separates contenders from champions. From lucky bounces to growing confidence, the debate turns into a surprisingly honest look at why even longtime skeptics are starting to believe. The episode also touches on Yankees excitement surrounding Cam Schlittler and the rare energy young power pitchers bring to a fan base, with comparisons to Jacob deGrom and Matt Harvey. Later, the conversation shifts to the Mets and concerns about their young core lacking power, while still finding reasons for optimism around the development of several emerging players and the future direction of the roster.

On Wednesday, May 6th, 2026 Matt Harvey's message takes us on a transformative journey from the suffocating grip of anxiety to the liberating embrace of divine peace. At its heart lies 1 Peter 5:7-9, which calls us to cast all our cares upon God because He cares for us personally and intimately. What makes this teaching particularly compelling is its honest acknowledgment that anxiety is not a sign of weak faith, but rather proof of our humanity. We see this truth reflected in the lives of biblical heroes like Elijah, who called down fire from heaven yet later hid under a tree asking God to end his life, and Peter, who walked on water but began to sink when fear took over. The message presents three practical steps that form a pathway from worry to peace: Release (casting our cares on God), Replace (praying with thanksgiving instead of worrying), and Renew (fixing our focus on God's faithfulness). The profound truth here is that God doesn't shame us in our lowest moments; instead, He meets us there with rest, provision, and restoration. This isn't about pretending everything is fine or waiting until we feel peaceful before we trust God. Rather, it's about choosing trust as the pathway to peace, recognizing that peace is not dependent on our circumstances changing, but on our connection to the One who never changes.

Business development company turmoil is making direct lenders cautious on corporate debt risk, according to PGIM, which oversees more than $200 billion in private credit. “It’ll have a bit of a chilling effect,” Matt Harvey, the firm’s global head of middle-market direct lending, tells Bloomberg News’ James Crombie and Bloomberg Intelligence’s Matthew Geudtner in the latest Credit Edge podcast. “As a lender you’re a little bit more conservative, you’re a little bit more rational in terms of your view on how to structure the asset, how to price it,” Harvey says. They also discuss default rates, loan marks, the consumer staples sector and relative value in European direct lending. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
One missed notice can wipe out storage fees, restart a lien clock, or invite a fight you never had time for. We sit down with Matt Harvey from Auto Data Direct and Stephen Holloway from their government affairs team to unpack the unglamorous part of towing and recovery that decides whether you get paid: accurate vehicle data, compliant owner and lienholder notifications, and a workflow you can trust when you're busy running calls. We break down how ADD supports towing businesses with tools like DMV123, which pulls real time owner and lienholder records from dozens of jurisdictions. We talk about why “real time” is not just a buzzword, how stale batch data can create legal exposure, and how automating certified mail letters and tracking can turn paperwork into a repeatable process instead of a daily scramble. If you operate across state lines, manage impounds, or handle lien sales, the practical details here matter. Then we zoom out to the bigger picture: what we saw at the TRAA Hill Day, why advocacy is essential for a family run industry, and how towers can share state level wins without reinventing the wheel. Finally, we dig into the Florida model for modernization: third party certified mail options and replacing expensive newspaper notices with online posting that matches how people actually search today. Subscribe for more towing industry insights, share this with a tow owner who lives in paperwork, and leave a review with your biggest compliance challenge so we can cover it next.

This powerful message from Matt Harvey on Wednesday, February 11th 2026, invites us to examine what we're carrying in the metaphorical bags of our lives. Drawing from Hebrews 12:1-2, we're challenged to identify the weights and sins that slow our spiritual journey. The sermon uses relatable imagery of everyday carry items and how they change with our circumstances, yet we often hold onto things that no longer serve us. The distinction between weights and sins is crucial: weights aren't necessarily sinful, but they're unnecessary burdens like social media addiction, old mindsets, material attachments, or unresolved grief. Meanwhile, sins like bitterness, unforgiveness, and resentment actively poison our souls. The beautiful invitation of Matthew 11:28-30 reminds us that Jesus offers to share our yoke, making our burdens light when we partner with Him. The imagery of oxen yoked together illustrates how we're meant to work alongside Christ rather than struggling alone. We're called to run our spiritual race with patience, keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus like a tightrope walker maintains focus on their destination. The challenge is clear: what weights are we clinging to that Jesus is asking us to release? What sins are we harboring that prevent us from running freely? When we lay these down, we discover the freedom and rest that comes from yoking ourselves to Christ.
