The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: Are “educational foundations” for public school districts just another way to cheat the school finance system and the court order behind such? Some legislators have awakened to such in the case of relatively small Barbers Hill ISD in Mont Belvieu which has a foundation with a corpus of about $250,000,000 and is rife with what appear to be conflicts of interest. Two good write-ups on yesterday's hearing on the matter: Lawmakers Scrutinize Barbers Hill's Massive Education Foundation Lawmakers Grill Public School Superintendent on Conflicts of Interest at Education Foundation Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.Ross Fire, 80,000 acres, could be burning for ‘days and days,' official says.Midland County judge, Terry Johnson, suspended by state judicial conduct commission.California loses another multi-billion-dollar giant to Texas as corporate exodus growsListen on the radio, or station stream, at 5pm Central.

From the archives: Midland frontman Mark Wystrach joins Andy Frasco's World Saving Podcast for a wide-ranging conversation about the reality behind life in a successful band. This episode is brought to you by JamCut.IO (https://jamcut.io/). If you're a musician and you're tired of making clips all the time, check these guys out! Mark talks about Midland nearly falling apart during its early years, the fights and conflict that came with three strong personalities trying to build a career together, and why the music ultimately kept them together. He also gets into the brutal touring schedule, balancing life on the road with being a husband and father, and why the fantasy of the "rock star lifestyle" is a lot different from actually living it. The conversation gets even deeper as Mark opens up about his history with drugs and alcohol, growing up around addiction, and the lessons he took from seeing the darker side of it firsthand. He also shares two terrifying stories that changed the way he looks at life: being stranded in extreme desert heat after blowing a tire on his Harley, and suffering a massive heart-related medical emergency in his early 20s that left his heart functioning at roughly 25% for a period of time. Those experiences helped push him toward pursuing music and living life on his own terms.

What does it truly mean to say yes to following Jesus? Not a yes to a better life, but a yes to an entirely new one? That question sits at the heart of this message, and it cuts deeper than we might expect. The message challenges us to stop treating our faith like a passive possession and start recognizing it as an active calling. Knowing whose house we stand in, knowing whose name we carry, and knowing the scripture that anchors us are not optional extras. They are the very foundation of a life that has been made new, not merely improved.The Gathering Church is located in Midland, Texas.You can watch our live worship experience online at mygathering.liveVisit our website at https://www.mygathering.churchConnect with us on Social Mediahttps://facebook.com/mgatheringhttps://Instagram.com/mygatheringGOD | COMMUNITY | PURPOSE

Jenn talks about taking Leo along to her niece Barrett's high school open house at Cabell Midland. 

This message from Acts 16:11-15 traces the gospel's first arrival in Europe through the conversion of Lydia, a successful seller of purple goods and worshiper of God in Philippi. God opens her heart to the message of Jesus, leading to her baptism, the salvation of her household, and a lifestyle of radical hospitality that helps plant a thriving church. The sermon challenges every “worshiper of God” that generic belief is not enough—true faith requires a personal response to the humble, self-sacrificing King who wore a mock purple robe on the cross so that we might be clothed in His righteousness.

Record Highs, Negative Gas Prices, and the Discipline Dividend Host Richard Cunningham sits down with co-host Luke Roush and returning guest Jordan Strebeck of Fortress Energy Partners for a conversation that starts at the S&P 500's all-time high and ends at a Permian Basin wellhead where operators are paying to get rid of their own natural gas. The numbers alone are worth the listen: four hyperscalers on pace for more than $700 billion in AI infrastructure spending this year, an IPO market that just absorbed the world's largest offering, and a global oil supply chain that's quietly burned through 400 million barrels of inventory since February. Jordan brings the view from the ground in Midland, Texas — where the domestic shale industry is showing more capital discipline than anyone expected, even as Middle East conflict keeps rewriting the energy math in real time. Key Topics: Markets hitting record highs despite tariffs, an unresolved Middle East conflict, and zero rate cuts in 2026 The AI CapEx arms race: how Wall Street is starting to separate real cash-flow return from spend for spend's sake What SpaceX's blockbuster IPO signals for Anthropic and the rest of the 2026 IPO pipeline 1,500 unicorns and counting — why so many private companies are stuck waiting to go public Inside the Permian Basin: negative natural gas prices, the AI power crunch, and why the U.S. needs more of everything — nuclear, gas, solar, and wind What 400 million barrels of drawn-down global oil inventory means for prices over the next five years A closing word on presence, parenting, and what it means to steward the time we're given This episode is a masterclass in reading past the headline number — whether that's an index level, an IPO valuation, or a barrel price — to the stewardship question underneath it. For faith-driven investors trying to separate signal from noise in a genuinely strange market, this is a conversation worth sitting with.

Midland Evangelical Free Church Sermon Audio Midland, MI

In this message from Redeemer Church, Pastor Jason walks through Acts 15:36–16:10 as Paul and Barnabas part ways after a sharp disagreement, Paul recruits the young disciple Timothy, and the Holy Spirit redirects their second missionary journey toward Europe. The sermon highlights Timothy's unlikely background, the quiet but world-changing faithfulness of his mother Eunice and grandmother Lois, and the call for every believer to engage in intentional discipleship—either as a Paul investing in the next generation or as a Timothy seeking mentors—so the gospel continues to advance.   Website: redeemermidland.org Instagram: instagram.com/redeemermidland Facebook: facebook.com/RedeemerMidland   At Redeemer, we seek to be a Gospel-Centered, Missional Family.

Midland Evangelical Free Church Sermon Audio Midland, MI

In this message from Redeemer Church in Midland, Texas, the sermon examines Acts 15 and the Jerusalem Council's response to threats against the pure gospel of grace and tensions between Jewish and Gentile believers. It underscores that salvation rests solely on Christ's finished work (“It is finished”), offers practical wisdom for unity across cultural differences by laying down freedoms that needlessly offend, and highlights the council's clear call to abstain from sexual immorality as God's good design for human flourishing. The message ends with a gospel invitation to repentance and the assurance of Christ as our advocate.   Website: redeemermidland.org Instagram: instagram.com/redeemermidland Facebook: facebook.com/RedeemerMidland   At Redeemer, we seek to be a Gospel-Centered, Missional Family.

Midland ISD claims the way schools are funded has turned them into the state's tax collector — in violation of the Texas constitution. We'll dig into what this means and why it matters way beyond Midland.Recent flooding in South Texas brings something dangerous to the surface: Breakaway buoys in the Rio Grande.In a dystopian future, […] The post School finance lawsuit heads to court appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: Here it comes again!, as I have predicted time and again for two decades. Midland ISD votes to sue the state over the public school finance system and justifies such with selfish half-truths and general ignorance of the fact that the courts have made clear what the outcome must be no matter how often the legislature reshuffles the deck chairs. No system reshuffle will change the equity of funding issue and, any that fixes the equity issue will mean less control for local districts and will still take from districts like Midland. You better be careful what you wish for. This is the fundamental problem with all socialist-style government programs: You must have a general equity and history shows that always means the lowest level of equity, not the top. For example, the state cannot build roads with smooth lanes for use by only people with cars registered in certain counties, the more property wealthy counties, and then require people registered in other counties to drive only on the other rough, pothole filled lanes.

What happens when a Dow Chemical employee turned real estate investor can't find a financial planner willing to look at his whole picture? He becomes one himself.In this episode of Only Fee Only, Peter and Broc talk with Ethan Kok, owner of Sage Wealth Planning. Ethan shares how his search for real financial advice as a young investor in Midland, Michigan opened his eyes to the fee-only model — and ultimately pulled him out of a corporate career and into financial planning. He breaks down how he built his early client base by mastering Dow's complex employee benefits, why offering flat-fee planning to clients without big portfolios is an opportunity most advisors miss, and what he learned from purchasing Sage from its founder, including why the transition plan matters just as much as the purchase price.Ethan also talks about his team's shared passion for tax planning, how his appreciation for insurance planning has grown over the years, the "downer meeting" his firm uses to help clients get real about life insurance and estate planning, and his advice for anyone at a big company thinking about a career change into this profession.Ethan's Social:https://www.linkedin.com/in/ethan-kok/Music in this episode was obtained from Bensound.

TX15 is a congressional district Dems hope to flip to their Leftist side this election but their nominee, singer Bobby Pulido, is himself a pervert of the top rank.Also, far from a reformer, Talarico shows he's the same old white Democrat by telling upset black Dems in Houston he'll throw $25 million into black voter turnout. No doubt many in the room would pocket big parts of that and from whom would he get it? Probably the likes of fellow creep Hoffman.Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.Midland County Judge, Terry Johnson, has gone too far in my opinion and should resign his post: (Isn't that “local control” great?!)

In this sermon, Pastor Jason discusses the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15, which is a pivotal moment in the early church when leaders had to answer an essential question: Is salvation received by God's grace through faith, or must people earn it through religious works? As the Gentiles were coming to faith in Jesus, some Jewish believers insisted they first obey the Law of Moses—including circumcision—to truly be saved. Paul, Barnabas, Peter, and James firmly rejected this teaching, declaring that salvation has always been by grace alone through faith in Jesus Christ. The council concluded that believers should never place unnecessary burdens on those coming to Christ because Jesus has already accomplished everything necessary for salvation. The pastor challenges the church to see that this struggle still exists today.    Website: redeemermidland.org Instagram: instagram.com/redeemermidland Facebook: facebook.com/RedeemerMidland   At Redeemer, we seek to be a Gospel-Centered, Missional Family.

Roderick's iconic boat makes its first real appearance as well, and Gus-Gus and our zerky crew will be seafaring for a good long while now, with Guts healing, Farnesse and Schierke going astral together, and Isidro getting hit in the balls by Azan.

In the powerful conclusion to Redeemer Church's summer series on the Book of Job, Pastor Josh Gatewood unpacks Job 42 and shows how we can cultivate real, lasting hope in seasons of hardship and suffering. After encountering God's majesty, Job shifts from demanding explanations to trusting in a deeper relationship with his sovereign, good, and covenantal Lord—relenting from his complaints and laying his pain at God's feet. This message reveals how the prayers, patience, and purpose of Job ultimately point us to Jesus, the one who stands in the gap, restores all things, and gives us unshakeable hope.   Website: redeemermidland.org Instagram: instagram.com/redeemermidland Facebook: facebook.com/RedeemerMidland   At Redeemer, we seek to be a Gospel-Centered, Missional Family.
