In this episode of iGaming Daily, brought to you by Optimove, host Jessica Welman, Managing Editor at SBC, alongside Media Manager, Charlie Horner, as they explore DraftKings' turbulent July, highlighted by a $450,000 fine from the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) for credit card deposit violations. Listeners will get a front-row seat to the 10-hour MGC hearing that exposed critical regulatory concerns in Massachusetts' sports betting ecosystem. Discover the legal nuances behind DraftKings' promotional practices, including their recent courtroom victories and costly setbacks in states like Connecticut and New York. Commissioner Eileen O'Brien's sharp prosecutorial style also takes centre stage, raising important questions about compliance, enforcement, and the evolving standards for sportsbook operators nationwide.The two then pivot to a broader industry trend: the steady retreat of European iGaming operators from the American market. Betfred's quiet departure from Nevada and Pennsylvania is just the latest signal of trouble for international brands facing fierce competition and high barriers to entry.

Does obeying the fifth commandment mean never bugging your unbelieving parents about their spiritual state? How might other passages of Scripture provide some guidance on evangelizing our lost mom or dad? It's common for Christians to think about winning prodigal children, but in this episode of hte FTC Podcast, Jared and Ross discuss how to handle having "prodigal parents."

In today's episode of iGaming Daily, SBC's Managing Editor, Jessica Welman, is joined by Motti Colman, VP of Revenue at Optimove, the podcast's main sponsor, for an analysis of player behaviour in the sweepstakes versus real money online casino sectors. With a focus on practical outcomes over legal definitions, the duo explores how each gaming model attracts and retains players, using exclusive Optimove data and a detailed case study that spans global iGaming markets.Motti highlights how Optimove's advanced benchmarking and predictive modelling shed light on key differences in player value, onboarding success, and behavioural trends. Listeners will learn how the regulated online casino market sets the gold standard, while the sweepstakes model, despite its clever “scratch card” style redemption mechanics, faces significant hurdles in conversion rates due to complex onboarding and player skepticism. A critical takeaway? The importance of Day One. As the hosts reveal, player actions in the first 24 hours are often the most predictive of long-term engagement and lifetime value. While sweepstakes players may start slow, Optimove's research shows that by Day 28, they can match or even exceed online casino players in loyalty and activity, provided CRM strategies focus on guiding players through an intensive 'incubation' period.

Have you experienced the kind of spiritual rebirth that leads to real change? James 1:19–27 teaches that saving faith isn't passive—it's transformational. In this sermon, Pastor Josiah explores how the Word of God not only saves us but reshapes us. Through vivid illustrations and pastoral exhortation, you'll discover that “real religion” means more than just hearing Scripture—it means receiving it with humility, obeying it with integrity, and displaying it through a life of mercy, holiness, and self-control. The gospel doesn't just inform your life; it transforms it. Why does the life of a true Christian look so different from the world? Listen to this week's message and find out!

It's now come to be expected in evangelical headlines -- the fallen pastor.

In this episode of iGaming Daily, brought to you by Optimove, SBC's Martyn Elliott, Ted Menmuir and Ted Orme-Claye, explore a pivotal moment for UK gambling regulation as the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Gambling Reform reconvenes to launch a new inquiry into the sector's future. Chaired by Conservative Sir Iain Duncan Smith, the inquiry revisits the Gambling Act review white paper to assess whether proposed reforms still meet the evolving demands of public policy and industry accountability.Key topics at the heart of the inquiry include gambling advertising, stake limits, and the role of local authorities in regulating high-street betting. Reform advocates are calling for stricter controls on TV ads, sports sponsorships, and social media promotions, especially to protect younger audiences. Other areas under review may include the statutory levy, financial risk checks, and the creation of a gambling ombudsman to oversee consumer protections.This episode also examines the growing tension between reformist momentum and the gambling industry's lack of a unified political voice. As the UK government faces competing priorities, this inquiry could act as a catalyst for significant change, particularly in high-visibility areas like advertising, where public sentiment may sway policy decisions quickly.Host: Martyn ElliottGuests: Ted Menmuir & Ted Orme-ClayeProducer: Anaya McDonaldEditor: James RossiGaming Daily is also now on TikTok.

Are you accidentally teaching your children that performance matters more than their hearts? In this eye-opening episode, host Lisa Bailey sits down with homeschool veteran Alicia Clark to explore a counter-cultural truth: the families who put relationships before academics often end up excelling at both. With 11 years of Classical Conversations experience and three children ranging from 9 to 15, Alicia reveals why heart-first homeschooling creates stronger students AND stronger families. You'll discover: -              -  Why the "little years" might actually be the hardest to homeschool (and it's not what you             think) -              -  The surprising truth about what creates teachable children -              -  How to recognize when heart issues are masquerading as academic struggles -              -  Why math often becomes the great "heart revealer" in homeschool families -              -  The "cat years" phenomenon and how to stay connected with middle schoolers -              -  Simple rhythms that build relationship while maintaining academic progress The bottom line: Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. When we shepherd our children's hearts first, we create an atmosphere where learning flourishes naturally—and we raise adults who know how to love their world well. Whether you're drowning in curriculum choices or wondering if you're "academic enough," this conversation will remind you that the most important lessons happen in the heart, not the textbook.   This episode of Everyday Educator is sponsored by: At Judson College, North Carolina's only four-year accredited confessional Christian institution, we equip passionate students with over 25 majors and exceptional faculty to pursue God's calling in ministry, missions, or the workplace.

Are you walking through a trial that feels too heavy to carry? How can we find joy when life falls apart? In “Fire Tested & Joy Filled,” Pastor Josiah walks through James 1:1–18 to show that the trials we face are not meaningless—they are God's tool to grow our faith and prepare us for eternity. With honesty, personal testimony, and biblical clarity, this sermon calls believers to endure trials with joy, seek God's wisdom without doubting, resist the tempting lies of the enemy, and trust in the unchanging goodness of God. Even in the hardest seasons, we are not alone—Christ endured the ultimate trial on our behalf and now walks with us through the fire.

James 2:1-13

In this episode of iGaming Daily, SBC's Charlie Horner and Tom Nightingale dive into the far-reaching implications of the newly introduced “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”, a sweeping US budget bill that has sparked major conversations in the gambling sector. While much of the media attention has focused on the bill's controversial limitation on deducting gambling losses, the episode shines a light on a more overlooked, yet crucial, aspect: an update to the tax reporting threshold for slot machine jackpot wins. Tom, who was among the first to break the story, explains how the threshold, untouched since 1977, has finally been raised from $1,200 to $2,000, with future adjustments tied to inflation.This change addresses a long-standing pain point in casino operations, where a modest jackpot win could halt a machine for nearly an hour while a W2G tax form was processed. The industry has widely applauded the update, with the American Gaming Association calling it a "long overdue modernisation."  In the second half of the episode, SBC's Managing Editor, Jessica Welman, provides a report from her time at the National Council of Legislators from Gaming States (NCLGS) summer conference in Louisville, Kentucky. From prediction markets to VGTs in rural communities, and the polarising "cannibalisation panel" examining iGaming's impact on land-based casinos. Highlights include controversial remarks from former CFTC Counselor Josh Sterling, who downplayed responsible gambling protections, and a heated exchange between industry figures on the future of online gambling.

In today's episode of iGaming Daily, brought to you by Optimove, Charlie Horner, SBC's Media Manager, takes the hosting seat as he's joined by SBC's "Two Teds" - Ted Menmuir and Ted Orme-Claye - as the three talk the global gambling industry's 2025 interim results. Leading gambling firms are under scrutiny as analysts and investors assess their performance amid mounting tax pressures across key markets like the UK, Netherlands, and France.The trio highlight the most important signals for investors and stakeholders in this high-stakes environment. With the post-COVID boom behind us, the focus has shifted sharply toward cost control, free cash flow, and bottom-line profitability. The "Two Teds" break down how ongoing legislative shifts, such as the UK Gambling Act review, and increasing market saturation are reshaping operator strategies. Looking ahead, thre three explore the industry's uncertain future as increased taxation may lead to cost-cutting, reduced marketing spend, and potential workforce reductions. Could we see a wave of M&A activity as companies navigate this turbulent period? They also discuss the impact of these dynamics on global players like Entain and Flutter, and how newer markets such as Brazil are performing under pressure.Host: Charlie HornerGuests: Ted Menmuir & Ted Orme-ClayeProducer: Anaya McDonaldEditor: James Ross & Martyn ElliottiGaming Daily is also now on TikTok.

What do you do when your life is falling apart, and you've run out of options—can God still meet you there? Is there any hope for those who have failed God repeatedly?In this final message from our “The Search For A King” series, Pastor Josiah explores the theme of “IF”—those pivotal moments in life that center on trust, obedience, and the faithfulness of God. As Israel stands at a national crossroads, having demanded a king and rebelled against the Lord, Samuel confronts them with their sin, warns them of its consequences, and yet offers them hope rooted in God's steadfast mercy. IF we reject God, we face ruin; but IF we return to Him, He is faithful to forgive us and redeem us from the pit. Through a gospel-centered lens, this sermon shows how our repeated failures can never outmatch God's covenantal grace. Jesus, the true and better King, succeeds where Saul—and all of us—fail. And in Him, we hear the everlasting assurance for every believer: “God's got you!”

Rumors were swirling about Louisiana Tech joining the SBC, and once the news was released that the vote was upcoming and Tech was in, we decided an emergency pod was necessary! We opened the X space to hear from other Louisiana fans as well as fans around the 'Belt to see how everyone felt about the news. And of course, we gave our own takes on the Bulldogs begging for forgiveness and moving back to the Sun Belt, a conference they left behind for greener pastures, only to return years later in a very... ironic... way.

In today's episode of the Center for Baptist Leadership podcast, William Wolfe sits down with Robert Burns, Mayor of Monroe in North Carolina, to discuss political persecution for being an outspoken Christian leader.   Robert Burns is the Mayor of Monroe, North Carolina, elected in November 2023 after a historic coin-toss victory following a tied election with 970 votes. A Christian, husband, and father of six, Burns is a conservative Republican known for his outspoken leadership and commitment to economic growth, public safety, and family values. He has focused on revitalizing downtown Monroe, expanding infrastructure, and attracting new industries. Burns, a newcomer to politics, emphasizes transparency and community engagement, often using social media and his YouTube channel to connect with residents.

In this episode of the Northwoods Church Matters podcast, Pastor Bobby Pell joins the conversation to unpack the structure, purpose, and often confusing world of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). Whether you're a long-time Southern Baptist or brand new to Northwoods, this episode is designed to help you make sense of the acronyms, agencies, and hot topics that shape the SBC. We break down how the SBC is not a top-down denomination but a cooperative group of independent churches focused primarily on missions. Pastor Bobby and Pastor Matt discuss everything from the Cooperative Program (our “missions piggy bank”), to the work of the International and North American Mission Boards, to the role of our seminaries, Lifeway, and even the sometimes-controversial Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC). They also take a gracious but honest look at current SBC controversies, and much more. If you've ever wondered about anything SBC-related, be sure to checkit out.

Where is your hope? What types of things are you placing your trust in today? In his sermon, “Is This The King?” centered on 1 Samuel 10:17-11:11, Alex Trotter shared how even though Saul looked like the King who would save Israel from their enemies, ultimately it was Christ who would redeem his people from death and crush the serpent's head once and for all. Unlike the Israelites, we mustn't turn to rulers of this world for our ultimate salvation, even despite their apparent victories. Instead, we must turn our eyes to the true Prophet, Priest, and King, Jesus Christ and look to him to save us from the brokenness that surrounds us.

How should Christians think through national patriotism in a way that still maintains their allegiance to God above all?
