What do we do when God gives us a vision but the reality in front of us looks like nothing but rubble? The book of Nehemiah pulls back the curtain on one of Scripture's most honest portrayals of faith under fire. Nehemiah is called to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, a city that has been in ruins for decades, and what unfolds is not a smooth, miraculous overnight transformation. It is a grinding, opposition-filled battle that looks a lot like the battles we face every day. The central spiritual lesson here is that God is not simply waiting for us to step aside so He can do everything for us. He is inviting us into a partnership. Nehemiah prays and then posts a guard. He seeks God and then strengthens his resolve. This rhythm of the spiritual and the natural working together challenges us to stop over-spiritualizing our circumstances and start showing up as co-laborers with Christ. The wall does not get built by waiting. It gets built by people who work with a hammer in one hand and a sword in the other, trusting that God is with them in the labor.

In Genesis 40, we find Joseph in prison, faithfully serving those around him even in the depths of his own suffering. He notices two fellow prisoners weighed down by troubling dreams, interprets those dreams with remarkable accuracy, and asks only one thing in return: to be remembered. But he is forgotten. And that forgetfulness costs him two more years in a dungeon. This message invites us to sit with an uncomfortable question: are we more like Joseph, or more like the cupbearer who walked into his restored life and simply moved on? Most of us would like to believe we are the faithful dream-interpreters, the ones who see God at work in the darkest seasons. But human nature has a powerful pull toward forgetfulness. When the struggle ends and life stabilizes, the hunger fades, the prayers grow quieter, and the people who fought alongside us slowly drift from our memory. The spiritual challenge here is not just about gratitude -- it is about recognizing that our forgetfulness can delay the very purposes God is working out through us and through others.  Join us for service live every Sunday at 10am at 5600 Route 34 | Oswego, IL 60543.

What if the way we think about Jesus has been subtly, quietly wrong all along? In this message drawn from Matthew 16:13-19, we are confronted with one of the most penetrating questions ever asked: Who do you say Jesus is? Not who does culture say He is, not what label feels comfortable or convenient, but who do we actually believe Him to be at the deepest level of our lives? The message challenges us to examine whether we have unknowingly reduced Jesus to a life coach, a moral guru, or a spiritual self-help resource. When we do that, we place ourselves at the center of the story and relegate Jesus to a supporting role in our own narrative. The geography of this passage turns out to matter enormously. Jesus asks this defining question not in a synagogue or a safe religious setting, but in Caesarea Philippi, a place saturated with pagan worship, dark spiritual activity, and what ancient people believed was a literal gateway to the underworld. It is in that setting, standing before the rock face where false gods were worshipped and sacrifices were made, that Peter declares Jesus to be the Christ, the Son of the living God. The location is not incidental. It is a declaration made in the teeth of darkness, and it changes everything. This message invites us to stop treating our faith as a pat Sunday school answer and start wrestling with whether we carry a genuine, living revelation of who Jesus truly is.

What if the way we think about tithes, offerings, and fellowship has been missing a deeper, richer dimension all along? In Deuteronomy 12 and 14, we discover that giving to God was never meant to be a solemn, transactional duty. It was designed to be a celebration. God instructed His people to bring their tithes and offerings to the place He designated, and then to eat, drink, and rejoice in His presence together with their families, their neighbors, and even the most vulnerable among them. This passage challenges the modern tendency to separate the spiritual from the physical, as if worship belongs in one category and a shared meal belongs in another. The truth is, God wove them together intentionally. When we gather around a table and break bread with one another, we are not stepping out of His presence. We are stepping further into it. The question this raises for our own faith journey is simple, yet profound: are we missing moments of genuine communion with God because we have drawn too sharp a line between what feels sacred and what feels ordinary?

Classroom Management Part Two, Structure, Strictness, and Redirection Guest: Abby Bartle, fourth-year English teacher, Oswego High School, Oswego, Illinois In part two, Abby Bartle moves from big-picture classroom management into the daily habits and in-the-moment techniques that keep a classroom calm and focused. She emphasizes that classroom management is personal and that what works for one teacher may not work for another. In this episode: Why classroom management style is personal and varies teacher to teacher Starting each period with clear materials routines Setting realistic attention span benchmarks (10-15 minutes) based on knowing your students Using movement breaks and brain breaks to refocus a class Creating a positive classroom environment through tone, personality, and decor Why misbehavior happens even with strong management, and why strictness early matters The "sacrifice a lamb" concept for establishing authority as a new teacher A redirection progression: praise, direct redirection, and non-verbal cues Why addressing behavior privately avoids power struggles and public escalation The difference between handling off-task behavior and students talking over instruction When to involve counselors, colleagues, or parents Key takeaway: Consistent routines and calm, private redirection do more to manage behavior than volume or punishment ever will. #ClassroomManagement #NewTeacherSupport #TeachingPodcast #LessonPlanning #BehaviorManagement #StudentAttentionSpan #ClassroomProcedures #NonVerbalRedirection #TeacherExpectations #PositiveClassroomCulture #ProactiveTeaching #TeachWithConfidence #CalmClassroomStrategies #NewTeacherTalk

Classroom Management Starts on Day One, Not Later Guest: Abby Bartle, fourth-year English teacher, Oswego High School, Oswego, Illinois In this episode, Abby Bartle explains why classroom management can't be postponed while you settle into curriculum and school logistics. She makes the case for prevention over punishment and lays out a practical, proactive framework for the first weeks of school. In this episode: Why classroom management must start on day one, not once things "settle down" Establishing routines and procedures before the school year begins Where to find inspiration: online teachers, school colleagues, student teaching experience, and your own education Why the second week of school often brings boundary testing Learning student names quickly through attendance, pronunciation practice, and icebreakers Building relationships without becoming "too friendly," and why that boundary matters The concept of being a "warm demander" Strategic desk placement and seating arrangements, including pods, pairs, and rows A step-by-step approach to building seating charts, from accommodations to friendships Why students shouldn't choose their own seats early in the year Key takeaway: Structure now creates freedom later. Prioritizing routines and procedures at the start of the year makes it possible to build in flexibility and relationship warmth as the year goes on. #ClassroomManagement #NewTeacherSupport #TeachingPodcast #BackToSchoolPrep #WarmDemander #TeacherTips #ClassroomRoutines #BehaviorManagement #TeacherLife #PositiveClassroomCulture #TeacherProfessionalDevelopment #RelationshipBuilding #SeatingChartStrategy #TeachWithConfidence #NewTeacherTalk #TeacherPodcast

Join host Sam Davidson as he sits down with Don and Tracy Hardin, founders of the Don Hardin Group and two of the newest announced members of the Nashville Entrepreneurs' Hall of Fame 15th class, to be honored at the NEXT Awards on October 19th, 2026. Neither of them set out to build a company. Don wanted to work 30 years, get a watch, and retire. Tracy watched her father do payroll by hand at 11 PM and wanted absolutely nothing to do with entrepreneurship. Then life had other plans. Over 26 years, through a decade of moves across the country, two recessions, a pandemic, and a deeply held belief that their employees would always get paid — they built one of Nashville's most respected construction management firms. Their portfolio includes the National Museum of African American Music, Music City Center, and a reputation built on relationships, consistency, and refusing to have a backup plan. This conversation covers all of it: how they met (at a Houston's hostess stand on May 13, 1989), how the company started (a church project, a Nissan plant, and a whiteboard at HCA), how Tracy went from swearing off entrepreneurship to running the entire back office, and what they're focused on now — building something worth handing down. Episode Highlights: 0:39 — Don and Tracy introduce themselves: 26 and 23 years respectively in this work 1:18 — Tracy's first entrepreneur: her father, UT's first Black tenured professor in 1966 — who also ran a convenience store to pay for her education 2:02 — Why Tracy grew up watching entrepreneurship and decided she wanted a nine-to-five 2:37 — Don's first: Mr. Jimmy and Ms. Kitty, the neighborhood market over the hill in Trinity Hills 4:59 — The math teacher Don dodged for an entire semester — by taking alternate stairs — who ultimately pointed him toward engineering 6:02 — Tracy: pre-med until the morgue, then public administration and nonprofit work 7:02 — How they met: a "shaggy apartment," a UPS lunch at Houston's, and a phone number he wasn't sure he'd get 9:07 — May 13, 1989: Don calls the same day, they go out the same night 9:41 — The decade of moves: Oswego to Bowling Green to Greenville to Chicago to Birmingham to Reading, PA — and finally back to Nashville 11:35 — The church project that pulled them home — and the promises Don made to get Tracy back 14:41 — Don's decision to go independent: unplanned, organic, just the next logical step 20:00 — First contract: Nissan North America in Canton, Mississippi, via a PMI lunch and an automotive credential from the Mercedes-Benz plant 22:29 — How Tracy joined: Don doing everything himself, Tracy saying "why don't I help?" and immediately professionalizing the whole operation 24:08 — Tracy's first decision: payroll service, day one. "I am not going to be my father with that notebook." 28:12 — Planning in a volatile industry: what happens when you come back from the mountains with a plan and the phone rings for something else entirely 31:13 — The legacy question: why selling shares to the next generation matters, and why passing a Black-owned business down is rare 33:24 — Running a business with your spouse: clear lane separation, and the same accountant, attorney, and insurance agent for 25+ years 35:00 — The National Museum of African American Music: "Don, go build a museum" — and how he spread opportunity to every contractor involved 35:50 — Music City Center: the "Leave it to Beaver" conversation that got the two larger firms to hear him out 37:57 — Tracy on Music City Center: managing the build, and now serving on the board 38:53 — Don's philosophy: no backup plan. One plan. Make it work. 39:33 — COVID: kept everyone on payroll the whole time. "Last year's profit's gone, but you're going to keep getting your paychecks." 40:51 — Closing: Hall of Fame, October 19th NEXT Awards, and what staying the course actually looks like Subscribe to Circle Back for more stories from Nashville's most interesting builders.

This exploration of Genesis 25 challenges us to examine what we're trading for temporary satisfaction. The story of Jacob and Esau reveals deep seeded human nature: we often exchange eternal promises for immediate gratification, just as Esau traded his birthright for a bowl of stew. The narrative shows us two troubling patterns we can fall into—either becoming like Jacob, manipulating and deceiving our way toward God's promises instead of trusting His timing, or like Esau, despising our spiritual inheritance because we're too focused on meeting our immediate needs. The message confronts our modern obsession with instant gratification, where everything must be microwaveable and immediate. Yet God's promises require patience, faith, and trust. Isaac waited twenty years for the promise of children, while Esau couldn't wait twenty minutes for food. This contrast reveals the heart of our spiritual struggle: will we seek first God's kingdom and righteousness, allowing all other things to be added, or will we chase after the added things and lose both the promise and lasting satisfaction? 6/26 6/26Join us for service live every Sunday at 10am at 5600 Route 34 | Oswego, IL 60543.

This sermon is a Part II exploring Mark chapter 5, where we encounter a woman whose desperation becomes her doorway to healing. For twelve years, she lived as an outcast, ostracized by society, bleeding and broken. Yet in her darkest moment, she made a choice that would change everything: she pushed through the crowd to touch the hem of Jesus' garment. This wasn't just any touch—she was reaching for the tzitzit, the tassels that represented the messianic prophecy from Malachi 4:2 about the Son of Righteousness rising with healing in His wings. Her faith wasn't passive; it was active, courageous, and desperate. What's striking is that Jesus felt power leave Him in that moment, not because of proximity, but because of faith-filled desperation. Her desperation released power, and the same can be true for us when we stop playing church and start genuinely seeking His face.6/26 6/26Join us for service live every Sunday at 10am at 5600 Route 34 | Oswego, IL 60543.

What a busy weekend for the boyz. Josh went to Reunion Weekend in Oswego, but Cody is the real star of the weekend! Working 30+ hours at taste of Syracuse and selling out of Koolickles by Friday! Plus, we talk NHL & NBA Finals. What the hell is Sherwin-Williams? And so much more on a Mondee!

She posted a video of a man — unconscious, partially nude, in his own home — and 30 million people believed every word she said. Within weeks, she was the one under arrest. Olivia Henderson is a 23-year-old DoorDash driver from Oswego, New York, who went viral in October 2025 claiming a customer had sexually assaulted her during a delivery. The video exploded on TikTok before anyone thought to ask questions. Then police pulled the Ring camera footage from the customer's home, and her story started to fall apart. In Part 1, Tyrella and Nikita walk you through the full timeline — the TikTok, the DoorDash ban, the police investigation, and the two felony charges she's now facing. You'll come away with the facts and a lot of questions, ready for Part 2. Part 2 is already out on Patreon!
