Mount Sinai is the moment God established a covenant with Israel, showing us that His grace and salvation through the blood precedes any laws or commands. God's primary purpose for His people is not just to provide blessings or deliver them from trials, but to draw them into an intimate, relational knowledge of Himself.

“When ‘Sweet' Feels Cringe: Love Languages, Lake Travis Chaos & a Bridesmaid at 60 You Won't Forget” What if the sweetest compliment you could give your partner made them want to “turn themselves inside out”? That's exactly where this episode of The JB and Sandy Show kicks off—diving headfirst into one of the most hilariously unconventional “love languages” you'll ever hear. JB, Sandy, and Tricia unpack a relationship dynamic that flips romance on its head… where affection sounds more like discomfort—and somehow, it works. Then things take a jaw-dropping turn with a real-life story straight out of an action movie (minus the good decisions). A pilot buzzing boats on Lake Travis pushes things too far, leaving everyone asking: when does showing off cross the line into reckless? The fallout is wild—but the unexpected twist? The very people he startled end up rescuing him. Listeners also weigh in on what makes a relationship healthy—and not everyone agrees that traditional romance is the answer. One caller drops a perspective that might completely shift how you think about long-term love: “You're not faking it… you're just being yourselves.” And just wait until you meet JB's sister, Chris. She absolutely steals the show with a story that proves life doesn't slow down at 60—it just gets better. From being a bridesmaid decades later to her unforgettable one-liners, including, “For a fat girl like me, this is the golden ticket of Willy Wonka,” you'll be laughing the entire way through. Plus: A surprising stat about first dates that might make you rethink your next dinner outing A nostalgic (and slightly awkward) look at restaurant culture making a comeback And one painfully funny story about a first date meal that went very wrong
"The Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.” (Exodus 17:16.)Israel begins to face giants... and so do we.
Crises reveal our true heart and trust in God. But Jesus Christ is our ultimate spiritual rock and provider of all those in need!
Shifting from a mindset of control and grumbling to one of daily dependence on God's provision.
We explore the story of the Israelites in the wilderness, and see how dangerous bitterness is. But we can apply the gospel to overcome it. Only through the cross can our hearts be transformed from bitter to sweet.
As we look at the parting of the Red Sea we see that God often orchestrates difficult situations to reveal His power and truly save His people.
God's guidance - even when difficult - maximizes His glory.
Gazing at the wonder of Christ who died for us.
Pharaoh's arrogance is going to cost him, and God is about to reveal just how much. But not only that, God is about to reveal the Passover - what Jesus did on the cross. And so as we approach Good Friday next week, we start getting a sneak peek on what God is up to behind the scenes in the epic showdown of Exodus.
God manifests His power and mercy through the plagues, dismantling Egypt's false systems to prove His sovereignty. Through this, we are challenged to surrender completely rather than negotiating with God. True deliverance is found in Jesus Christ, the ultimate lamb who absorbed wrath to bring freedom.
Glenn van Rooyen (NCMI team, Cornerstone Church, South Africa) encourages us on finding hope and purpose in a spiritual wilderness by looking at Ezekiel 47. God brings life to dead places!
God, through Moses, publicly exposed the false authorities and spiritual systems of Egypt by dismantling them through plagues. We see that God is a merciful God who strips away what enslaves us to restore His rightful place on the throne of our hearts.
Exodus now moves into a long, “boring” genealogy.But wait… is it really boring? Or are there some hidden gems here that will have us sit up in wonder?
What if your tires could quietly renew their own grip as you drive? We kick off with a clear look at regenerative tire technology, unpacking how smart materials might maintain tread depth, extend tire life, and improve braking and safety in wet and dry conditions. From early patents to bold prototypes, we highlight Goodyear's recharge concept and Michelin's expanding tread blocks, then get honest about the hurdles that stand between lab success and daily commuting: durability, heat cycles, debris, and cost.Then we trade lab coats for landscapes and plan a spring pilgrimage across Texas bluebonnets. We share practical, photo-friendly routes with timing tips shaped by weather and bloom cycles. The Willow City Loop near Fredericksburg brings sweeping hills and Indian paintbrush accents; Muleshoe Bend near Spicewood frames Lake Travis with easy trails and family space; Ennis maps more than 40 miles of viewing with a festival vibe; Brenham's barns and fences add texture to wide fields; and the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin offers curated displays that respect the land. Think golden-hour light, weekday visits, and staying on public roads to protect fragile blooms.To round out the ride, we deliver a grounded review of the 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid Calligraphy AWD. The boxy, modern design turns heads, while a two-foot display span, separate climate controls, dual wireless charging, and comfortable seating for up to seven make daily life simple. The 1.6L turbo hybrid returns strong real-world mpg with calm, composed handling, and the cabin feels thoughtfully laid out—though we still wish for a dedicated volume knob. We compare pricing and rivals like the Kia Sorento, Toyota Highlander, and Mitsubishi Outlander, and share straight-talk shopping advice so you can find the right trim at the right price.Join us to connect future-focused tire tech with near-term road trips and a practical SUV you can buy now.

No matter our mistakes, the Lord will ensure that His call and His promises will stand.
ust when the story seems to be moving toward confrontation with Pharaoh, Exodus gives us one of its most shocking moments.Exodus 4:24 (ESV): “At a lodging place on the way, the LORD met [Moses] and sought to put him to death.”What? Join us this week as we look at this rather odd portion of the Exodus story!
An absolutely pivotal moment even in the history of humankind occurs to Moses at the burning bush… as God Himself reveals His name for the first time, and the release of the Israelites - signaling the release of humankind from slavery to come - is set in motion.

The strategy of the enemy is to always put us under taskmasters and oppression. But with the Spirit, we will still continue to multiply and trust God to take us out of slavery. But we can't walk the safe road - we must walk the road of faith.
Ever been accused of something you absolutely didn't do?
The book of Exodus is full of drama, intrigue, adventure, supernatural events, and God's grace and power! So we've gone for an Indiana Jones theme to represent it! And it really is going to be an adventure!2026 will not be a year of shrinking back. It will be a year of coming out of fear, out of limitation, out of old labels, out of small thinking, and out of Egypt! God is leading us into a year of:new ground,new areas of faith, new miracles,new doors for mission and expansion,new clarity, andfresh anointing! And just as Israel discovered in its Exodus, God does His greatest work not when circumstances look easy, but when His people choose to trust Him.
Finding contentment in all circumstances in the hope of Christ and the coming Kingdom!

LAKE TRAVIS - When the Prince of Peace finally came, He brought peace to all mankind. Not a momentary truce. Not a cease-fire. But true, everlasting peace.
Seeing the big picture of what Jesus has done leads us to experience joy - so that we can live out Paul's exhortations to "rejoice" in Philippians 4:4-7.
LAKE TRAVIS - The Bible declares in this portion of scripture that we are citizens of heaven. While we may have loyalties to many things on earth; and a citizenship to a nation; there is something even greater that we are citizens of. And this citizenship requires fidelity to certain values and one message which never changes.

This is episode 79 of the Hidden History of Texas, Central Texas Floods of the 2000s. The Central Texas Floods of the 2000s damaged Lake Marble Falls 2002 Central Texas Floods The summer of 2002 brought storm after storm, pounding San Antonio and the Hill Country with relentless rain. By July, creeks had swollen into rivers, and the city's flood-control systems groaned under the pressure. Cars floated down highways, neighborhoods were cut off, and families had to be rescued from rooftops in San Antonio's South Side. San Antonio International Airport recorded a staggering 9.52 inches of rain on July 1 alone, setting a new record for the month Over the next week, rainfall totals in several counties reached between 25 and 35 inches, leading to widespread flash flooding. The Guadalupe and Blanco Rivers swelled beyond their banks, inundating communities and causing significant damage. The floodwaters claimed 12 lives, damaged approximately 48,000 homes, and resulted in an estimated $1 billion in damages. Twenty-four counties were declared federal disaster areas. 2015 Blanco River Flood (Wimberley & San Marcos) The event was part of a larger weather system that affected Texas and Oklahoma, producing 75 tornadoes and widespread flooding. The Blanco River, which typically flows at 93 cubic feet per second, experienced a record-breaking crest of 44.9 feet at Wimberley, Texas, with a peak flow of 175,000 cubic feet per second as a result on the night of May 23, 2015, yes it was another Memorial Day Weekend flood, and the Blanco River transformed into a wall of water. Fueled by nearly a foot of rain falling in the Hill Country, the river rose over 40 feet in just a few hours. In Wimberley, whole houses were lifted from their foundations and carried downstream like rafts, some with families still inside. In Wimberley the floodwaters rose more than 30 feet in less than three hours, overwhelming the Fischer Store Road bridge and sweeping away entire homes. The rapid rise of the river left little time for residents to evacuate, and the devastation was immense. In Wimberley alone, more than a dozen lives were lost, and the community was left to grapple with the aftermath 2025 – Kerrville & Central Texas Floods On July 4, 2025, flash floods devastated Kerrville and surrounding Hill Country communities. Late on July 3, 2025, the remnant mid-level circulation of Atlantic Tropical Storm Barry became embedded within a broader mid-level trough already containing tropical east Pacific remnant moisture This system developed into a massive thunderstorm which stalled over Central Texas. Flooding began on the morning of July 4, after significant rainfall accumulated across Central Texas. Six flash flood emergencies, which included the cities of Kerrville and Mason, were issued the same day. The Guadalupe River rose about 26 ft in 45 minutes. It surged an estimated 29 ft in the Hunt area, where more than 20 children were declared missing from a summer camp. July 5 saw more flash flood warnings for the Lake Travis area, which is part of the Colorado River watershed. In the span of a few hours, the equivalent to four months' worth of rain fell across the Texas Hill Country region, with the highest rain totals being 20.33 inches. Over 135 people died in the flood The Central Texas Floods of the 2000s, weren't the first floods to cause destruction in the region and in all likelihood they won't be the last. All we can do is try to prepare the best we can.
LAKE TRAVIS - Considering everything as loss for the sake of knowing Christ.
LAKE TRAVIS - The Bible calls us many things in Christ—brothers, friends, united with Christ. It also calls us soldiers in Philippians 2:25. We are called to a spiritual war, and that requires sacrifice, resolve, training, obedience, and discipline.

The October edition of the WGI Unleashed Podcast is officially here! Join us as we travel to Austin, Texas, to chat with Coleen Johnson, RPLS, WGI's Director of Geospatial. Coleen's story is one of resilience, curiosity, and a lifelong passion for learning. From hand-drafting machine parts in Houston to leading cutting-edge geospatial teams at WGI, her journey proves that sometimes the best career paths are the ones you create yourself. From Small-Town Roots to the Lone Star State Coleen grew up in the rural town of Hannibal, New York, surrounded by rolling hills, dairy farms, and open skies. With four siblings, a farm-loving grandfather, and 21 acres to explore, she learned early on the value of hard work and curiosity. After high school, uncertain about her next step, Coleen made a bold move—she packed her bags and headed to Houston, Texas, chasing opportunity (and maybe a little adventure). She landed a job at an oilfield manufacturing company, working in the warehouse under the blazing Houston sun. Her dedication didn't go unnoticed. The company's owner brought her into the office to learn mechanical drafting by hand—pencil, vellum, and all. That moment changed everything. “It was fun,” Coleen recalled. “And that's how I ended up getting into surveying eventually… through drafting.” Learning by Doing: The Path to Surveying When the oil industry slowed, Coleen moved to Austin with an abundance of ambition but no real plan. She found work with a new civil engineering firm that needed a drafter, and not long after, the firm expanded to start a survey department. Coleen jumped at the chance to join, and from that moment, she was hooked. Surveying turned out to be the perfect fit: a mix of math, mapping, and the great outdoors. While working full-time, she attended Austin Community College at night, earning her land surveying degree after several years of late nights and determination. By then, she was also a licensed professional surveyor—a huge milestone in a field she'd learned entirely on the job. Her advice for others figuring out their path? “It's okay not to know right away,” Coleen says. “Figure out what you love first, then follow it. The rest will fall into place.” A Trailblazer for Women in Surveying Coleen's career took her through just about every side of surveying imaginable. From private developments to public utilities, and even a stint at TxDOT and the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA), where she surveyed electric transmission lines and the parks surrounding Lake Travis. But her biggest achievements go beyond project work. In 2007, she became the first woman to serve as President of the Texas Society of Professional Surveyors (TSPS)—a major milestone in a profession where women were once few and far between. Today, she continues to pay it forward as a member of the Texas Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors and the National Council of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors (NCEES), mentoring others and shaping the future of the profession. “I love giving back to the field that gave me everything,” she said. Life at WGI: Leading with Vision and Innovation Now celebrating her sixth year at WGI, Coleen leads the Geospatial division in Austin—managing teams, securing contracts, and helping shape how WGI captures and analyzes data across the country. She even landed WGI's first TxDOT Austin District contract, a major win for both her team and the firm. Her role is fast-paced and constantly evolving. “Technology has changed tremendously,” she says. “We've gone from hand-drawing on Mylar to laser scanning, drones, and LiDAR. That's what I love about this field—it's never monotonous. There's always something new to learn.” And Mondays at her office? They start with a safety meeting and breakfast tacos, of course. Life Outside the Grid When she's not overseeing survey crews or reviewing proposals, Coleen enjoys the quiet life on her two-acre property outside Leander, where she lives with her husband and three rescue Dobermans—Prada, Ruby, and Cooper. She's a passionate gardener, cultivating flowers, herbs, and vegetables in raised beds. “Taking care of the yard is actually therapeutic,” she says. “I love mowing, trimming, and just being outside—it's my kind of peace.” A creative at heart, Coleen even sewed her own clothes growing up, a skill passed down from her grandmother, a 4-H teacher for 60 years. She credits that upbringing for her independence, creativity, and love of hands-on work. A Legacy of Leadership Coleen's story is one of grit, gratitude, and growth. From learning drafting by hand to leading a team of geospatial experts, she's built a career defined by curiosity and love for what she does. As for what keeps her excited about coming into work every day? “The people,” she said without hesitation. “I love working with our teams, mentoring others, and watching them grow. That's what makes it all worth it.” Tune In This episode is packed with moments that showcase Coleen's curiosity, grit, and passion for her craft - So, tune in, and as always, stay curious, stay driven, and keep unleashing your full potential!

LAKE TRAVIS - What does it mean to live a life in a "manner worthy of the gospel of Jesus Christ"? (Philippians 1:27.) Paul tells us in his letter: to live in unity with God's people; to be of one mind, one heart, for the gospel.
LAKE TRAVIS - As we continue our series in Philippians, we see in this portion of scripture that sometimes doing the right thing lands you in prison. It doesn't mean God doesn't love you. But God uses our frustrating circumstances still for His glory and His gospel. Through the Spirit, we need eyes to see how He is turning it all together for the good.
Unpacking the heart of Philippians 1:12-18.1. They become channels for the gospel!2. They unleash bold witness in others!3. They expose hearts, yet Christ is proclaimed!
LAKE TRAVIS - Paul's letter, written from prison, challenges us to find joy in Jesus, not in our circumstances. We kick off our series on the book of Philippians by covering:1. Our identity is found in Christ, not in our culture, career, or failures.2. Gospel partnership goes deeper than friendship—it's a Spirit-forged fellowship in mission. The Philippian church started with diverse backgrounds united by grace, and we're called to join in the mission shoulder-to-shoulder, not just as spectators.3. True gospel partnership creates deep bonds of love that transcend circumstance, reflecting Christ's own affection.4. Spiritual growth is measured by love that abounds with discernment, leading to fruitful lives that bring glory to God.As a church, we need to embrace a vision "Beyond the Walls"—to step out in faith, serve, give, and pray for God's kingdom to advance.
Here is part II of our two part series breaking down the clinics and drills that were shared at the USA Gold Camp in Omaha over Labor Day weekend! Excited to have John Jungers from Omaha, Dominic Amorosa from Houston, Texas, Ryan Hintz from Kansas City, Missouri and Brandon Shaver from Lake Travis, Texas discussing topics to help players and coaches grow while working with some of the best youth players in the country. Enjoy!
As we finish the book of Jonah we examine Jesus' statement in Matthew 12 that "something greater than Jonah is here." Jonah ran from the city of Nineveh, but we are called to go to every single Nineveh. So we look at Jonah vs Jesus, and our call today, weaved into our response to the tragic deaths of Charlie Kirk, Iryna Zarutska, and challenges with the economy and our church finances.
Would you rather fight one giant duck or a hundred tiny rhinoceroses?That's just one of the rapid-fire questions JB faces in this laugh-out-loud episode of The JB and Sandy Show. But don't let the humor fool you—this episode dives deep into Austin culture, family moments, and the quirks that make life unforgettable. In this episode, JB, Sandy, and Tricia explore:
Jonah resisted God's call. But do we? Often in ways we don't even realize!
We have a desperate need for both an initial revelation of Jesus for salvation and ongoing, fresh revelation for sanctification. Revelation often confronts pragmatism and requires obedience.
