Northwest Montana's wildest headlines are front and center this week on News Now with your host Taylor Inman. We lead with the conclusion of a massive Flathead Valley crime spree as Michael Ray Downing, the man infamously dubbed the "Cocaine Fairy" by local law enforcement, reaches a plea deal following his arrest for a string of burglaries totaling over $1 million in stolen property. Downing's legal saga comes to a head alongside the bizarre case of Dustin Lawrence Oswald, who was recently sentenced to a suspended jail term and legally ordered to leave the state of Montana forever after threatening an officer during a public urination arrest in Whitefish.The episode shifts to urgent safety news as the Flathead Avalanche Center warns of "high" avalanche danger across the Whitefish, Swan, and Flathead ranges following a series of storms that have left the backcountry snowpack in a "touchy" and dangerous state. We also dive into local environmental efforts in Polson, where the Flathead Lakers and Polson Bay Golf Course are launching a $150,000 public-private partnership to combat E. coli and algal blooms impacting Flathead Lake's water quality.In political news, we break down the heating intraparty competition in Northwest Montana as the candidate filing period reveals major Republican primary showdowns for the state House, Senate, and Public Service Commission. Finally, we celebrate local storytelling with a look at two documentaries filmed on the Flathead Indian Reservation, "The Water Keepers" and "Paving the Way," which are currently contending for the prestigious Big Sky Award at the 2026 Big Sky Documentary Film Festival.A big thank you to our headline sponsor for the News Now podcast, Loren's Auto Repair!

Host Taylor Inman details the major shifts coming to Northwest Montana this year, starting with a significant overhaul of visitor access in Glacier National Park. As the park officially ends its vehicle reservation system, officials are introducing a new ticketed shuttle service and a three-hour parking limit at Logan Pass to manage congestion. We also look at the extensive construction schedule for 2026, including utility and road projects at Two Medicine and St. Mary that will result in seasonal closures.The episode also breaks down the 2026 Economic Outlook for the region. Despite a national "no hire, no fire" economy, Flathead County continues to lead Montana in employment growth, fueled by persistent in-migration and a rebounding multi-family housing market. Finally, we cover a $2.3 million jury award in a personal injury lawsuit against BNSF Railway involving a longtime Whitefish engineer, marking a major legal conclusion to a three-year battle.A big thank you to our headline sponsor for the News Now podcast, Loren's Auto Repair!

Give and Take. Tit for Tat. Everything in life is a transaction. I give you money, you give me the product. I work for you, and you pay me money. I buy you a gift for your birthday, you buy me a gift for my birthday. Did the last one catch your attention? It's easy to see where transactions are helpful in the society we live in. I wouldn't want someone looting my store and not paying for anything. But where are you functioning from transactional reality and not realizing it? If someone does something nice for you, do you immediately start thinking of what you can do in return? Are you keeping score and trying to make it even? Or better yet, make sure others are in a deficit with you? Keeping score cards and functioning from transactional reality can only get you so far. What if there was a possibility far beyond all of this, where you can gift and receive endlessly? Join me in the Curious Universe Podcast!

Almost every aspect of our life from the likes we get on social media to the professional metrics we receive have been in some ways gamified. Games are basically everywhere. What impact does this gamification have on our lives? C. Thi Nguyen is a philosophy professor at the University of Utah and the author of “The Score: How to Stop Playing Somebody Else's Game.” He joins WITHpod to discuss why we've gamified so many things, why we are so drawn to keeping score, recapturing value that can't be obtained from data and more.

Are you keeping a "Silent Scoreboard" in your marriage? In this episode of Married and Connected, we are tackling a taboo topic that very few couples want to admit: Competition and Jealousy. I'm talking about the quiet resentment that builds when you feel like your spouse is getting more sleep, more praise, or more "fun" than you are. We dive deep into the psychology of why you might be viewing your spouse as an opponent rather than a teammate. If you struggle with feeling like you are doing everything while your partner gets the glory, or if you find it hard to truly celebrate their wins because you feel left behind, this episode is your roadmap back to partnership.In This Episode, We Cover:The Scarcity Mindset Trap: Why we believe there is a limited amount of "praise pie" and how that kills intimacy.The 3 Arenas of Marital Competition:The "Who Works Harder" Olympics: The battle of the burden and why stress isn't a contest.The Parenting Popularity Contest: Dealing with the resentment of being the "Admin Parent" vs. the "Fun Parent."Professional Envy: How to navigate seasons where one career soars and the other feels stagnant.Active Constructive Responding: Research by Dr. Shelly Gable on the right way to celebrate your spouse's good news (and why 98% of couples get this wrong).Insights from Dr. Andrea Vitz: Understanding the difference between Romantic Jealousy and Comparison JealousyThe Teammate Visualization: How to switch from running a race against your spouse to running a race with them.
What if the real reason your marriage feels heavy is the scoreboard you never meant to build? We dive into the hidden “points system” that turns chores, tone, spending, and even small mistakes into a running tally of who's up and who's down—and why it's quietly starving intimacy. Through a memorable 2–0 basketball story and our own Firebird fiasco, we show how performance thinking sneaks into everyday life, promising fairness and delivering distance.Together we unpack the doghouse mentality—using guilt, cold silence, or withheld affection to force change—and contrast it with the way of Jesus. Drawing from John 1, John 15, and Matthew 11, we explore how the gospel frees us from living as judges in our own homes. Then we step into Matthew 20's parable of the vineyard workers to reframe “fairness” through the lens of a generous Master. When we receive unearned grace, we can extend it, replacing punishment with partnership and debt language with family language.A listener's candid question on hiding from a judgmental spouse opens a practical path forward: authenticity before God first, then consistent honesty at home. We share concrete steps to tear down the scoreboard—naming where we've added burdens, asking forgiveness without excuses, and choosing service over surveillance. You'll leave with tools to move beyond the brittle 50–50 contract into a 100% grace commitment, where the yoke is easy, the burden is light, and love stops feeling like a wage and starts feeling like a gift.If this conversation helps, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review to help others find these Christ-centered marriage tools. Then tell us: what piece of your scoreboard are you ready to retire today?Support the showFor episode transcripts, click HERE.For more marriage encouragement, visit: www.VowsToKeep.com | V2K Blog | Marriage Counseling | Insta | FBApple Podcast listener?

Jesus tells a story for people who feel spiritually fine. In Luke 18:9–14, He exposes the quiet sin of self-righteousness and the hidden ways we justify ourselves by comparison. This message invites us to lay down our measurements and rediscover the mercy of God.
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!

Featuring:Shane Arman, SVP, head of US Sports, Allison WorldwideIn 2010, many comms pros studied “The Decision” — LeBron James' highly anticipated announcement of which team “he'd be taking his talents to.” Fifteen years later, he had everyone on pins and needles awaiting “The Second Decision,” which ended up being the launch of an ad campaign with cognac brand Hennessy. Many had opinions on this, more critical than complimentary. During conversation with PRWeek's Gideon Fidelzeid, Arman opines on what the fallout would likely be for James and the brand. In doing so, he highlights what comms pros can take away from this episode.And that is just the start of this game. The WNBA. Emerging sports leagues. NILs. Pickleball — we know you're playing it. Everyone seems to be. All are discussed at length with Arman — all with a focus on the valuable comms lessons to be gleaned from each.

What if the greatest victories came through small acts of kindness, generosity, and grace?Through practical examples and heartfelt teaching, Pastor Mark helps us see that when we love God fully and love others deeply, we're winning in the only game that truly matters.Listen in and discover how to live with purpose, measure your life by love, and keep score God's way.

I'm actually not keeping score officially, but I am in my head. I can't help but do it. What Trump is doing reminds me of the time when I was banking. Making mad money. I had so much money I never balanced my checkbook. And while I'm no Elon Musk, I didn't worry much about what I spent, because I knew what I could afford.How do you keep score? Maybe a better question is what is a win for you?Certainly we can all agree that Trump's second term is a win. It's actually his 3rd term. Think about it: we got a win while LOSING!!That's when you know it's time to hit the tables in Vegas.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What if the secret to exponential business growth isn't working harder, but becoming a life architect first?Serial entrepreneur Bill Faeth has launched 31 successful startups, but his most important transition was becoming a life architect. In "From Serial Entrepreneur to Life Architect: Bill Faeth on Building Business Around Your Life," Bill shares how a disappointing forum experience in 2015 revealed he was operating at only 85% in his marriage.

Money and love don't come with a rulebook—but they do come with plenty of emotions, power dynamics, and unspoken expectations. In this episode of Everyone's Talkin' Money, I sit down with Heather and Douglas Boneparth, the husband-and-wife team behind the new book Money Together. Heather, a lawyer-turned-writer, and Douglas, a nationally recognized financial advisor, share candid insights about the real challenges couples face when it comes to money—and how to turn those challenges into stronger, more equitable partnerships. You'll hear: Why “trust” isn't enough when one partner disengages from money decisions. How caregiving and emotional labor factor into financial fairness. The biggest money missteps couples make (and how to avoid them). How to move from financial independence to true interdependence without losing yourself. Why “fair” doesn't always mean “even”—and how to redefine equity when income levels differ. How to start money conversations earlier in dating to gauge compatibility. Practical ways to bring more joy and balance to your financial life as a couple. If you've ever wondered how to merge love and money without resentment, hidden debt, or endless fights, this episode will give you the tools and inspiration to start building wealth together.
