Northwest Arkansas has a rich history of innovation, and now that pioneering spirit has reached collegiate athletics through Pinnacle Sports Ventures. Founded by Chad Campbell, a lifelong area resident with an extraordinary background spanning banking, professional drag racing management, and automotive sales, PSV represents a revolutionary approach to NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) management for University of Arkansas athletes.What began as frustration over the chaotic implementation of NIL policies has transformed into a mission-driven enterprise. When track and football standout Jordan Anthony missed NIL opportunities due to systemic failures, Chad recognized that athletes needed more than just sponsorship deals - they needed comprehensive support. "These kids are getting all this money and no one's helping them," he explains with genuine concern. "They don't know how to create an LLC, they don't know how to tag their cars... all the things we take for granted."PSV distinguishes itself through two mandatory contract provisions: a zero-tolerance code of conduct and required community service, typically with the Northwest Arkansas Food Bank. This reflects Chad's holistic philosophy that developing responsible citizens is as important as securing financial opportunities. A partnership with United Federal Credit Union further ensures athletes receive proper financial education.The timing couldn't be better, as collegiate athletics undergoes a transformation with the NCAA's $20.5 million NIL salary cap implementation. Chad has assembled an impressive advisory team, including Razorback legends Scotty Thurman and Lee Mayberry, alongside business leaders like Dick Trammel. His selective approach to client recruitment ensures each athlete fits the "PSV mold" of character and commitment.Perhaps most striking is Chad's authentic passion for making a difference. "I am very blessed," he reflects, "not because of money, but because of the people in Northwest Arkansas who helped make this happen." For athletes seeking representation that values character alongside compensation, Pinnacle Sports Ventures offers something truly groundbreaking in the evolving landscape of collegiate athletics.

Come ready to be encouraged, challenged, and reminded of what true fellowship with Jesus looks like!

What does it mean to be made in the image of God? Genesis tells us we are more than biology—we reflect His character, creativity, and worth. This truth transforms how we see ourselves, how we treat others, and how we live in relationship with God and one another.⚫CONNECT WITH US:

Jesus is repeatedly annoyed with the seriously religious, for their hypocrisy - where they are zealous about the less important parts of faith and ignore the essential elements of the fundamental command to love. How does this speak into our troubled world today and our daily living?

Today is day 266 and we are studying The Ten Commandments. 266. How do the Ten Commandments help you to grow in likeness to Christ? They reveal my sin in the light of God's righteousness, guide me to Christ, and teach me what is pleasing to God. (Deuteronomy 4:32–40; Psalms 19; 119:127–35, 169–76; Galatians 3:19–26; James 1:21–25; 2:8–13) We will conclude today by praying the Collect for Faith found on page 50 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

310 – Do you ever look God in the face?It's probably not on the top of your to-do list. It's probably not something you think about very often or even consider as a possibility. In fact, you may not want to talk to God face to face, for a variety of reasons. And what does that even mean, to look at God this way? To talk to God this way?Doesn't the Bible say you can't see God's face?Yes it does, but it also talks about Moses and God talking face to face.This week's episode jumps into the idea of Talking to God face to face What it really meansWhy you don't need to be afraid of itThe blessings that come when you have this kind of intimate relationship with GodYou can talk face to face with God at any moment for any reason.You might have something on your mind. You might feel the need to repent. You might have a question. You might just want to express gratitude and tell God you love Him. But you don't have to have an agenda. You can just ask God what He thinks, what He sees, what He's doing, how He loves or what He wants you to do.Previous episodes mentioned this week:Episode 37: You Are the Image and Likeness of God.

Thank you for joining us for our latest Sunday service with Pastor Gregory Pope!What are people “reading” when they examine your life? The Bible calls God's Word a mirror that shows us who we really are—and transforms us into the image of Jesus. In this message, we explore how to find ourselves in Scripture, let the Word wash us, and live a legacy that points others to Christ. From 2 Corinthians 3:18 and James 1:22–25, we unpack how the Spirit changes us “from glory to glory” as we keep looking into the mirror of the Word—not just hearing it, but doing it. You'll also be challenged to keep your Bible dust-free, trade offense for forgiveness, and renew your mind (Romans 12:2) so your life becomes a living letter of Christ.

We conclude our study of John 3 with a look at the irreversible transformation that the new birth brings to the life of a believer. Discover the evidences of this new birth as well as the fruit of the Spirit that reflect the character of Jesus.

In this episode, host Pete Moore sits down with Andrew Petcash—former college basketball player, venture capitalist, and one of LinkedIn's most insightful voices on the business of sports. Andrew shares his journey from building a massive NBA YouTube channel as a teenager to founding Profluence Capital, a sports-focused venture fund that connects founders, investors, and cutting-edge sports businesses. The conversation dives deep into Andrew's strategy for breaking down sports industry segments, sourcing valuable market data, and building authentic, action-oriented thought leadership (or, as Pete calls it, “action leadership!") He unpacks how his personal brand has become a powerful engine for attracting investment targets and shares why transparency in the investment process can spark even more opportunities in the ever-evolving sports landscape. Whether you're an entrepreneur, investor, or just interested in youth and collegiate sports—including the ripple effects of NIL—this episode gives you a behind-the-scenes look at how major trends are being identified, funded, and built from the ground up. Petcash also offers candid advice for aspiring investors about the best ways to get involved in early-stage sports deals. On their investment aproach, Petcash states, "Most of our companies have said we're their most helpful investor because we can also get them a lot of attention from our channels from a marketing lens. We also just have a huge network to get them more investment or to get them more customers or whatever." Key themes discussed Building credibility through content and thought leadership. Action-oriented investing in sports and health sectors. Market research and sizing sports investment opportunities. Navigating early-stage venture capital and due diligence. Challenges and opportunities of NIL in college sports. The value of networks and relationships in sports investing. A few key takeaways:  1. Content Creation as a Market Differentiator: Andrew leveraged his expertise in content creation to position himself as not just a thought leader, but an “action leader” in the sports and VC world. By sharing insights and market analysis on platforms like LinkedIn, he built trust, credibility, and created a network effect that brings founders and opportunities directly to him. 2. Unique Approach to Market Sizing and Research: Andrew highlights his process of identifying investment opportunities in sports—especially youth sports and the impact of NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) changes. He combines feedback from industry contacts, exclusive data access, and his own proprietary database, blending qualitative and quantitative insights not widely available elsewhere. 3. Innovative Venture Capital Model: Profluence goes beyond the typical VC approach. They split their portfolio between more predictable, linear investments (e.g., sports teams/events—what he calls “layer one” assets) and higher-upside venture bets. This aims to balance risk and ensure strong fund returns, even if only a few high-risk investments succeed. 4. The Value of Strategic Partnerships and Advisory Networks: Petcash also emphasized the importance of surrounding himself with subject matter experts and private equity partners as both LPs (limited partners) and advisors. This adds significant strategic value when evaluating deals and managing portfolio companies, helping Profluence "punch above its weight" in deal selection and support. 5. Advice to Investors-Use Funds Over Angel Investments: Both Pete and Andrew caution against direct angel investments into early-stage companies, unless you have professional oversight and industry-specific expertise. Instead, they recommend investing through established funds with strong governance and a relevant network—offering better diversification, professional vetting, and an increased chance of success.

Meanwhile Sandy, the lover, works to find her own path forward through her surprise pregnancy searching through diaries, grocery lists, and séances with the dead she tries to remember just enough of her original sense of direction to make her own way home. Based on his own up brining in a polyamorous family the book speaks to Samsun's complicated family with his parents in an open marriage. Also, to those of us who grew up with multiple parents and half or step siblings.

God has, in some degree, made us in His image and according to His likeness. There is no definite statement made in Scripture as to what this means, but we can infer some of the things it must mean from what the Bible tells us about mankind. First, being in God's image must include sharing the holiness of His character. Second must be the fact that man was not intended to die. Third, we are persons capable of having a person-to-person relationship with God. This is not to say that we are in any way divine. We are not. We are creatures made from the ground like the other animals (Ge 2:7,19), yet God gave us the capacity to converse with Him, love Him, worship Him, obey Him, etc. to such a degree that a human could be deemed a "friend of God." The fourth way in which humans share God's image and likeness is that we were intended to share in the process of extending God's authority over the other forms of life on this planet. Listen to find out why God would make us like Him and what that tells us about how we are to treat others.  To receive a free copy of Dr. Steve Schell's newest book Study Verse by Verse: Hebrews, email us at info@lifelessonspublishing.com and ask for your copy at no charge!  Also check out our website at lifelessonspublishing.com for additional resources for pastors and leaders.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Thursday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Superman Fans Go After Clay A fiery and humorous critique of Hollywood’s political messaging, with a sharp focus on the controversy surrounding the new Superman movie directed by James Gunn. The hosts open with a lighthearted jab at CNN’s Wolf Blitzer and his infamous Jeopardy performance, using it as a springboard to discuss media credibility and public perception. The bulk of the hour centers on the Superman movie backlash, where Clay Travis criticizes Gunn’s framing of Superman as an immigrant and the broader trend of injecting progressive politics into iconic characters. Travis argues that Superman should remain an apolitical symbol of universal values like truth and justice, not a vehicle for modern immigration debates. The hosts explore whether Superman is better understood as an asylum seeker rather than an immigrant, given his extraterrestrial origins and adoption by American parents. OH Rep. Jim Jordan Congressman Jim Jordan tout the recently passed Big Beautiful Bill’s middle-class tax cuts, investment in border security, and pro-growth reforms. They argue it will stimulate job creation, repatriate manufacturing, and shield Americans from inflation-driven tax hikes. The show also covers the evolving landscape of college athletics, focusing on bipartisan legislation to regulate NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) compensation. Congressman Jordan outlines a proposed federal framework to protect student-athletes, enforce agent transparency, and establish eligibility standards—aiming to bring order to what he calls a “broken” system. The interview wraps with President Trump’s rumored plans for a UFC fight on the White House lawn. TX Sen. John Cornyn A sobering update from Texas Senator John Cornyn on the devastating Hill Country flooding, which has claimed over 120 lives and left 170 missing. The hosts and Senator Cornyn explore the urgent need for improved flood warning systems and emergency preparedness, especially for nighttime disasters. Listeners are encouraged to support Texas flood victims through fundraising efforts promoted on ClayandBuck.com. The conversation shifts to a shocking ambush on federal law enforcement officers in Alvarado, Texas, where 11 suspects have been charged. Senator Cornyn condemns the attack and links it to escalating anti-police rhetoric, emphasizing the need for strong support of ICE and law enforcement agencies. Illegal immigration and border security take center stage as Cornyn praises the Trump administration’s efforts to restore control at the southern border. He highlights the renewed morale among Border Patrol agents and the shift from humanitarian overload to national security enforcement. Run Jasmine, Run! The high-stakes 2026 Texas Senate race. Senator Cornyn discusses potential challengers, including Ken Paxton and Jasmine Crockett, and the strategic importance of maintaining Republican control in a politically pivotal state. The hosts speculate on whether President Trump will weigh in on the primary, underscoring the national implications of the race.
