This week on bigcitysmalltown, we examine the fight over the Howard Solstice Transmission Line — a proposed 370-mile, 765kV power line that would connect CPS Energy's Howard Road Station in Bexar County to a new substation in Pecos County, cutting through some of the most ecologically sensitive terrain in Texas.Host Bob Rivard welcomes Ted Flato, founding principal of Lake|Flato Architects and founder of the Headwaters Alliance, and Jada Jo Smith, owner of Orange Blossom Realty in Utopia and an elected official on the Bandera County River Authority and Groundwater District. Both are longtime Hill Country ranchers and leading voices in the opposition coalition, which has grown to nearly 48,000 members.They discuss:How CPS Energy and AEP Texas proposed the line — and why the compressed timeline caught landowners off guardWhy the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone makes certain routes especially dangerousHow the Hill Country Preservation Coalition built a broad, bipartisan opposition movement in a matter of monthsWhat "the least harmful route" means — and how much of it CPS Energy appears to have embracedWhat landowners can expect if the line crosses their property, and why eminent domain is the worst outcomeWhere the case stands now as the Public Utility Commission of Texas prepares to make a final decisionRECOMMENDED NEXT LISTEN:▶ #159.

Seven has specific meaning in Scripture. Today, we are going to find out what it means in Revelation and why it matters to us.

The foundation has been laid. Let's open to Revelation, Chapter 1, this week and see what Jesus wants us to know about His return...​

Man abdicated his role of dominion over the earth. But, thankfully, it won't be that way forever...

We need to know where it all began to really understand why it ends the way it does.

On today’s episode, Jason discusses his level of optimism surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers heading into the postseason after their thrilling AFC North-clinching win over the Baltimore Ravens, which AFC teams he's betting on during the Wild Card round of the playoffs, why the Las Vegas Raiders and the New York Jets seem destined to be cellar dwellers again in 2026, why he has zero confidence in Sam Darnold and the top-seeded Seattle Seahawks making the Super Bowl out of the NFC, and how the firing of head coach Raheem Morris by the Atlanta Falcons could set off a chain reaction of NFL coaching changes on Black Monday. #OddCouple Follow Jason on Twitter and Instagram.

As I take this year off from weekly Monday Musings, our world is still living in such tumultuous times. I pray that this study this year is one you can really dig into. So many are afraid of the book of Revelation in the Bible, but if we truly realized how it reveals Jesus to us, we may see it in a totally different way. I pray your heart is encouraged this year and I pray you grow deeper in love with Jesus and His Word.  ​

Each year I like to offer you some of my favorite Bibles, devos, and just fun things. I hope you enjoy some of these ideas to possibly add to the beginning of your new year. May they bring you deeper in love with Jesus, more aware of God the Father's love, and hungrier for the Holy Spirit at work in your life.

The Chiefs find out how the other half lives, CFP gives us two blowouts and two interesting tilts, and now it's on to the quarterfinals, college basketball update, some Carolina and Georgia travel thoughts, and more. Happy Holidays, and come on aboard!

I recently had a personal revelation of the gift Winter can be to our hearts. I hope it gives you some permission to do some things differently for your own hearts as well.

he Holy Spirit is full of so many wonderful gifts that He brings. One of the greatest is the power to make us fearless in telling people about Jesus. As we celebrate the season of His birth, what if we prayed for a fresh filling of the Holy Spirit so our hearts will become so full that we just can't help but tell others about all He has done in our lives!​

The Holy Spirit comes into our hearts at salvation. Yet, many of us never ask for anything more. However, Scripture tells us we should be continually filled with the Holy Spirit. This Living Water that changes everything. I hope today's musing will create a hunger in your heart for more of the Holy Spirit.

Sometimes we hold onto old things when God is telling us it is time to let go because there is something new He wants to do. Sometimes there are old, painful things God wants us to know that are about to come to an end, and He is going to bring something new. I believe this is a word for your heart today. Pray it encourages you in whichever place you may be. ​

In this week of Thanksgiving, Jesus graciously walked me through some places of His deep provision. I pray He walks you through the same for your heart. Happy Thanksgiving, friend...

Grieving is so not easy. We want to avoid it. Set it aside. But grief will not be ignored forever. As I'm grieving today, I thought we could talk a little more about it.

Every church has an option in how they want to make their decisions, so does every life. Let's talk about this difference on this Monday morning. ​

An epic Game Seven of the World Series brings us to two friends for the price of one as we dive into Chiefs-Bills and the college football Saturday with Stan Weber, and the epic Series, and Gold for two Royals, with David Lesky from “Inside the Crown”. Dig in with us!

One of the greatest hinderances to a move of the Holy Spirit in our local churches is when our services are more about entertaining people than hosting the presence of the Holy Spirit.

Many of us grew up in environments that gave us the "rules" of following Jesus. However, few of us learned the beauty of walking with Jesus in relationship. This has caused many of us to miss the "more" the Holy Spirit has for us. Watch the full message here: https://youtu.be/Je6xM0TzApE

Culture continues to try to woo our hearts toward comfort. However, when the Holy Spirit wants all of us, it will be disruptive every single time. Let's talk about it on this Monday Morning.

Many of us have truly never allowed God to heal the wounds of our past. And when we don't allow His healing balm to wash over us and bind us up, we hinder getting all the more that the Holy Spirit has for us. ​​

Football waits until tomorrow after Chiefs MNF matchup. Let's dive into baseball with David Lesky from "Inside the Crown". The Royals season and offseason and a look at payroll decisions. the MLB playoffs and more. Join the informative fun!

Over the next six weeks, I'm going to share some excerpts from a recent message I preached entitled "What if There's More?" about both personal and corporate things that keep us from encountering the "more" of the Holy Spirit. This week I'm dealing with a topic not talked about much anymore. Sin. I pray it will encourage you and challenge you. None of us should ever want to miss God's more.

A fascinating weekend of twists and turns, ups and downs, bouncebacks and more.
