In this message, Pastor Kenny addresses his upcoming departure after six years of ministry by reminding the congregation that the church is not built on any human leader, but solely on Jesus Christ, who is the true founder and perfecter of our faith. Drawing from Hebrews 12:1–3 and 13:8, he encourages believers to look to the "cloud of witnesses" who have run the race before them, to actively lay aside both the weights and sins that hinder their spiritual walk, and to keep their eyes fixed on Christ through seasons of transition and trial. By contemplating Jesus' endurance on the cross and remembering that He remains the same yesterday, today, and forever, the church is called to overcome weariness and stay firmly committed to following Him.(00:00) - Introduction & Proclaiming Jesus (01:11) - Church Leadership Update (03:12) - Reading Hebrews 12:1–3 & 13:8 (05:50) - Surrounded by a Cloud of Witnesses (Hebrews 12:1a) (09:49) - Setting Down Weights and Sin (Hebrews 12:1b) (17:12) - Looking to Jesus, the Founder & Perfecter (Hebrews 12:2) (22:05) - Considering Him (Hebrews 12:3) (24:35) - The Same Yesterday, Today, and Forever (Hebrews 13:8) (26:07) - Call to Respond, Prayer & Communion Pastor Kenny White preaches from the Shakopee Campus.

Pastor Matt addresses how believers should respond when facing unexpected challenges and trials. Rather than placing primary reliance on human wisdom, strength, or resources, Scripture calls us to place complete trust in the Lord. Through several biblical accounts, the sermon contrasts the outcomes of trusting in human ability versus trusting in God's power and provision.(00:00) - Introduction & Facing Challenges (01:27) - Church Leadership Update (06:19) - Jeremiah 17:5–8 (Trusting in Man vs. God) (08:31) - Joshua 6 & 9 (Trust in God vs. Trust in People) (11:32) - 2 Chronicles 14 & 16 (King Asa's Choices) (15:19) - Luke 5:5a vs. Luke 5:5b (Peter's Obedience) (20:07) - Jeremiah 17:5–8 (Enduring Seasons of Drought) (24:35) - Ezra 8:21–23 (Fasting & Total Dependence) (29:42) - Closing Prayer & Communion Pastor Matt Clausen preaches from the Prior Lake Campus.

In this final installment of the series on King David, we examine 2 Samuel 24 to see how even a "man after God's own heart" struggles with sin and relies on God's grace. When David improperly numbers the army, trusting in military size and human power rather than the Lord, he is confronted with the weight of his transgression. Through David's journey of confession, judgment, and eventual worship, we see that God's mercy frees us to both own our sin and fully worship Him. Ultimately, David's imperfect sacrifice points us directly to Jesus Christ, whose ultimate sacrifice on the cross provides the true and lasting cure for the plague of sin.David: Faith, Failure, and the Pursuit of GodDavid is one of the most well-known figures in Scripture—a shepherd, a warrior, a king, and a man after God's own heart. But his story is not just one of victory; it is also marked by failure, brokenness, and repentance. In this series, we'll walk through the life of David to discover what it means to pursue God in every season—when we are chosen, when we are tested, when we fail, and when we are restored. Series Memory Verse – Psalm 63:1"O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water."Pastor Jason Foreman preaches from the Prior Lake Campus.

In this concluding sermon on the life of David, we examine 2 Samuel 24 to answer a fundamental question: Where does security actually lie? When David takes a census of his military, he falls into the trap of seeking ultimate security in numbers and human strength rather than in the Lord. Confronted with his sin, David acknowledges his failure, repents, and insists on making a sacrifice that costs him something.Through David's story, we are challenged to examine where we place our trust—whether in human tallies or in God—and reminded that true security and salvation are found only in Jesus Christ, who paid the ultimate cost on our behalf.(00:00) - - Introduction & Series Conclusion (00:55) - - Central Question: Where Does Security Actually Lie?

In this message, Pastor Kenny teaches through the difficult events of 2 Samuel 13-18, exploring the lingering consequences of David's unrepentant sin as it fractured his household. The sermon navigates through a "house undone," examining the silence and inaction that allowed rebellion to brew.The narrative brings us to three distinct ways of weeping: Bathsheba's innocent mourning over another's abuse, David's grief over the destruction his own sin helped produce, and Jesus weeping over Jerusalem. Ultimately, this tragic history points us toward Christ—not through perfect typology, but through resonance. Unlike David, who wished he could have died in his son's place, Jesus is the King who actively stepped in to be broken for us, weeping for peace while the door to salvation remains open(00:00) - Sermon Introduction (04:20) - The Word That Won't Let Go (05:32) - Overview: A House Undone (14:22) - The Chapter Where It Lands: 18 (21:06) - Three Ways to Weep (26:19) - A King Who Weeps Toward Peace David: Faith, Failure, and the Pursuit of GodDavid is one of the most well-known figures in Scripture—a shepherd, a warrior, a king, and a man after God's own heart.

In this message, Pastor Matt explores the profound reality of consequences in the life of King David and his family, drawing heavily from the warning in Galatians 6:7-8 that we reap what we sow. By examining the tragic events across 2 Samuel, the message traces how David's past sins in the flesh produced a harvest of corruption within his own household. This is seen through the devastating abuse of Tamar by Amnon, and the subsequent violent retaliation by Absalom. The destructive ripple effects continue as Absalom systematically steals the hearts of Israel to usurp his father, ultimately leading to his own tragic demise and David's bitter weeping. We conclude with a powerful pivot to hope: just as sowing in the flesh brings corruption, sowing in the Spirit brings beautiful consequences and eternal life, echoing the promise of a flourishing life found in Psalm 1.(00:00) - - Sermon Introduction (03:54) - - Consequences (Galatians 6:7-8) (13:06) - - David and Consequences: Amnon and Tamar (15:19) - - David and Consequences: Amnon and Absalom (18:17) - - David and Consequences: David and Absalom (22:43) - - David and Consequences: Absalom (27:33) - - Consequences Recap (29:35) - - Beautiful Consequences (Psalm 1:1-3) David: Faith, Failure, and the Pursuit of GodDavid is one of the most well-known figures in Scripture—a shepherd, a warrior, a king, and a man after God's own heart.

In this episode, we dive deep into 2 Samuel 12 to explore the stunning, multifaceted nature of God's grace in the aftermath of profound moral failure. Picking up where chapter 11 left off, King David appears to have successfully covered up his adultery and the murder of Uriah. But God, in His relentless love, refuses to leave David in the dark.Often, we misunderstand grace as simple "niceness" or reduce it to a Sunday school definition. But just as light hitting a diamond ring reveals different brilliant facets, the story of David and Nathan allows us to view God's grace from six distinct and powerful angles.(00:00) - Introduction: Examining the Facets of Grace (09:36) - 1. The Pursuit of Grace (v. 1a) (12:11) - 2. The Savvy of Grace (vv. 1b-7a) (18:43) - 3. The Fury of Grace (vv. 7b-12) (22:20) - 4. The Miracle of Grace (vv. 13-14) (28:24) - 5. The Opportunity of Grace (vv. 15b-23) (32:49) - 6. The Hope of Grace (vv. 24-31) David: Faith, Failure, and the Pursuit of GodDavid is one of the most well-known figures in Scripture—a shepherd, a warrior, a king, and a man after God's own heart. But his story is not just one of victory; it is also marked by failure, brokenness, and repentance. In this series, we'll walk through the life of David to discover what it means to pursue God in every season—when we are chosen, when we are tested, when we fail, and when we are restored. Series Memory Verse – Psalm 63:1"O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water."Pastor Nathan Miller preaches from the Prior Lake Campus.

Pastor Kenny takes us into 2 Samuel 12 to confront the devastating fallout of King David's darkest moral failure. Believing he had successfully hidden his sins of adultery and murder, David moved forward with his life. But God sees everything, and "the thing David had done displeased the LORD".Through the relatable metaphor of being completely "blindsided" by our own tunnel vision, this message explores how easy it is to spot the sins of others while remaining totally oblivious to our own. To break through David's hardened heart, God sends the prophet Nathan with a parable—a story designed to make the truth land harder than a direct statement ever could.David's furious reaction to the parable reveals a sobering human reality: he had never been more right about someone else, yet he had never been more blind about himself. When Nathan delivers the ultimate reversal, "You are the man!", David is forced to face the music. His pure, unexcused confession, "I have sinned against the LORD," triggers an immediate outpouring of God's grace.(00:00) - Elder Send-off & Honoring Ministry (09:35) - Sermon Introduction & Context (17:53) - Move 1: The Parable (23:11) - Move 2: The Verdict & An Observation (26:35) - Move 3: The Reversal & The Indictment Turns (31:53) - Move 4: The Confession & Grace Given Immediately (33:40) - The Remaining Cost (36:04) - Christ Connection (38:27) - Three Truths to Apply (43:53) - For Reflection & Communion David: Faith, Failure, and the Pursuit of GodDavid is one of the most well-known figures in Scripture—a shepherd, a warrior, a king, and a man after God's own heart.

In this sermon from 2 Samuel 11, Pastor Matt explores King David's monumental failure involving Bathsheba and Uriah. Unlike previous stories where David acted with deep faith, this passage shows him giving into a destructive cycle of temptation, sin, and cover-up. The message provides practical lessons for having victory where David experienced failure: recognizing dangerous environments, battling temptation with God's truth, and choosing the path of confession instead of covering up sin. Ultimately, the sermon concludes with a powerful reminder that God's covenant promises are fulfilled through His faithfulness, not ours, offering hope to all who stumble(00:00) - Sermon introduction (01:46) - 2 Samuel 11: A story of temptation, sin, and cover-up (04:21) - Scripture Reading: 2 Samuel 11:1-27 (08:59) - Learning From David's Defeat: Recognize dangerous environments (09:24) - Recognize the danger of comfort and plenty (13:40) - Recognize the danger of idleness (16:05) - Recognize the danger of certain situations (19:55) - Learning From David's Defeat: Battle Temptation with Truth (20:12) - The truth of God's Word (22:57) - The truth of wise counsel (25:40) - The truth about sin's damage (28:39) - The truth about sin's multiplication (32:45) - Learning From David's Defeat: Choose the path of confession (34:50) - We cover sin because we are concerned about what people think (36:46) - There is always damage for those who cover their sins (37:25) - We confess sin because we are focused on God not our reputation (37:44) - There is always blessing for those who confess their sins (38:44) - Summary of Learning From David's Defeat (41:26) - Hope From David's Defeat David: Faith, Failure, and the Pursuit of GodDavid is one of the most well-known figures in Scripture—a shepherd, a warrior, a king, and a man after God's own heart.

In this sermon, we contrast David's remarkable covenant kindness (hesed) shown to Mephibosheth in 2 Samuel 9 with the dark turn of events in 2 Samuel 11. Looking honestly at David's drift, betrayal, cover-up, and murder, we explore how power dynamics and unconfessed sin can corrupt even those after God's own heart. More importantly, we see how Jesus Christ perfectly fulfills what David failed to do, offering us healing, freedom, and true restoration.(00:00) - Welcome and Opening Remarks (06:10) - Context: 2 Samuel 9 vs. 2 Samuel 11 (08:30) - Overview of Sermon Movements and Framework (09:44) - Move 1: The King Who Stayed Home (14:13) - Move 2: The Cover-Up (15:49) - Word Study: Yashab (17:47) - Move 3: The Murder (19:57) - Move 4: The Verdict (24:39) - Principle 1: Where You Stand Determines What Finds You (27:31) - Principle 2: The Measure of Your Character (30:22) - Principle 3: What You Hide Grows What You Confess Stops (32:54) - Principle 4: Power Cannot Erase a Person from God's Sight (35:04) - Principle 5: Silence Is Not the Same as Permission (38:10) - Invitation to Reflection and Closing Prayer David: Faith, Failure, and the Pursuit of GodDavid is one of the most well-known figures in Scripture—a shepherd, a warrior, a king, and a man after God's own heart.

In this message Pastor Jason explores 2 Samuel 9 and the powerful story of King David and Mephibosheth. Examining the radical kindness and covenant love David extends to the line of Saul, we see a picture of how God's grace operates in our own lives. Though Mephibosheth had no claim or standing at the royal table, David proactively sought him out, restored his inheritance, and invited him to dine at the king's table continuously. This sermon reminds us that despite our spiritual brokenness and shortcomings, God extends an invitation for us to take a seat at His table through His steadfast love and grace.(00:00) - Introduction & Context of 2 Samuel 9 (01:40) - Scripture Reading: 2 Samuel 9 (05:11) - Mephibosheth Didn't Belong at the Table (10:17) - Proactive & Radical Love (16:52) - We Are Mephibosheth (25:42) - A Seat at the Lord's Table (27:11) - Taking a Humble Posture Before God (29:23) - Rejoicing in the Lord's Provision (33:01) - Inviting Others to the Table (36:20) - Invitation & Preparation for Communion  David: Faith, Failure, and the Pursuit of GodDavid is one of the most well-known figures in Scripture—a shepherd, a warrior, a king, and a man after God's own heart.

In this message from Friendship Church's Shakopee Campus, Pastor Kenny explores 2 Samuel 9 and the story of King David and Mephibosheth. Framing the sermon around the fundamental question, "Whose table do you eat at?", Pastor Kenny contrasts the world's fast fixes and exclusive demands with the table of covenant grace set by the King. Mephibosheth—living in the obscurity of Lo Debar, crippled in both feet, and carrying the shame of Saul's house—could do nothing to earn a place at David's table. Yet David sought him out, extended divine kindness (hesed), and adopted him as one of his own sons. This passage serves as a vivid picture of God's supernatural grace: Jesus seeks us out before we even know to ask, offering us a permanent place at His table regardless of our weakness or brokenness.

When King David sat in his cedar palace and wanted to build a house for God, God revealed an even grander plan: building an eternal legacy through David's line. Join us as we walk through 2 Samuel 7 to discover how God's covenantal promises offer the true rest and peace our restless hearts long for—a peace fully realized in Jesus Christ. (00:00) - Intro: Augustine & The Restless Heart (02:32) - David's Cedar Palace & Desire for God's House (04:10) - Covenantal Peace & The Structure of 2 Samuel 7 (08:08) - God's Recital & Proposal to Build David's House (13:00) - The Center of the Covenant: A Place, Planting, & Rest (17:06) - The Eternal Dynasty (2 Samuel 7:12-16) (18:18) - Unconditional Love & The Davidic Covenant (20:09) - David's Response of Worship (24:03) - Jesus as the Fulfillment of the Covenant (27:49) - Resting in Christ & Call to Worship (28:31) - Communion & Closing Prayer David: Faith, Failure, and the Pursuit of GodDavid is one of the most well-known figures in Scripture—a shepherd, a warrior, a king, and a man after God's own heart.

What is the foundation of your relationship with God—is it what you do for Him, or what He has done for you? In this sermon on 2 Samuel 7, Pastor Matt explores King David's desire to build a grand temple for God during a period of rest and peace. While David's heart and motivations were right, God turns his plan upside down: instead of David building a house for God, God promises to build an eternal "house" and dynasty out of David's family lineage.Anchored in Psalm 16:2 ("I have no good apart from You"), this message serves as a liberating reminder that we cannot earn or pay back God's grace. Instead, our true calling is to recognize, enjoy, and "revel" in the overwhelming generosity and spiritual blessings offered through Jesus Christ.(00:00) - Intro: Life Verses & Psalm 16:2 (03:12) - David's Cedar Palace & Rest from Enemies (2 Samuel 7:1-3) (06:45) - God's "No" & Right Motivations, Wrong Timing (11:28) - The Foundation of Relationship: God's Generosity to Us (14:02) - The Covenant Promises to David & Abrahamic Ties (17:07) - The Eternal House & Lineage (2 Samuel 7:12-16) (19:55) - Solomon Foreshadowed, Jesus Fulfilled (23:17) - Why We Can Never Pay God Back (24:05) - David's Prayer of Response & Gratitude (27:21) - Reveling in the Grace & Generosity of God (31:02) - Preparation for Communion & Closing Prayer David: Faith, Failure, and the Pursuit of GodDavid is one of the most well-known figures in Scripture—a shepherd, a warrior, a king, and a man after God's own heart.

What happens when good intentions run up against God's holy standards? In this message from 2 Samuel 6, Pastor Jason explores the story of David, Uzzah, and the Ark of the Covenant. Looking at both Uzzah's fatal mistake and David's unrestrained praise, we learn why worship must be approached on God's terms rather than our own—and how Jesus Christ makes a way for us to stand boldly before a holy God.(00:00) - - Sermon Introduction: Following the User Manual (04:00) - - Old Testament Context: God's Holiness & The Ark (08:04) - - 2 Samuel 6:1–11: Uzzah and the Ox Cart (12:50) - - The Fear and Reverence of a Holy God (20:50) - - 2 Samuel 6:11–15: Worshiping God His Way (23:49) - - Accessing God Through Christ (29:28) - - 2 Samuel 6:16–23: Michal's Despising & Unapologetic Praise (35:46) - - Application (Romans 12) & Transition to Communion  David: Faith, Failure, and the Pursuit of GodDavid is one of the most well-known figures in Scripture—a shepherd, a warrior, a king, and a man after God's own heart.

 What does it mean to approach an all-powerful, holy God? In this message from 2 Samuel 6, Pastor Matt unpacks the dramatic story of David, Uzzah, and the Ark of the Covenant. By contrasting Uzzah's fatal error with David's wholehearted celebration, we see why genuine worship must be governed by God's Word rather than human convenience or cultural expectations—and how Jesus Christ makes it possible for us to stand cleansed in God's presence.

But his story is not just one of victory; it is also marked by failure, brokenness, and repentance. In this series, we'll walk through the life of David to discover what it means to pursue God in every season—when we are chosen, when we are tested, when we fail, and when we are restored. Series Memory Verse – Psalm 63:1"O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water."Pastor Matt Clausen preaches from the Prior Lake Campus.

When someone wrongs you, human nature demands payback. But in 2 Samuel 1–5, David shows us a radically different way. Instead of celebrating the fall of his enemy King Saul, David chooses mourning, grace, and trust in God's timing. This week, Pastor Sam breaks down what true biblical forgiveness looks like, how David's rise to the throne points us to Jesus as our ultimate Shepherd-King, and how enthroning Christ in our hearts transforms the way we love and forgive.

When we get ahead of God and try to take control, we end up building a "house of shame" instead of walking in true freedom. In this message on 2 Samuel 2–5, Pastor Kenny explores the contrast between the house of Saul—led by the puppet king Ish-bosheth—and David, the anointed king patiently waiting in Hebron. Through a personal story about opening a Christmas present early and powerful insights on biblical royalty, this sermon challenges us to evaluate who is truly sitting on the throne of our hearts.

The man who killed former DFL House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark faces sentencing next month. A group of workers at the Amazon warehouse in Shakopee protested outside of the facility Wednesday, the second day of Amazon's Prime Day Sale. A report released this week found that Minneapolis police often mishandled officer discipline cases. The Minneapolis City Council is scheduled to vote Thursday on whether to repeal the city's longstanding ban on adult bathhouses. Hunger relief nonprofits are feeling the pain from high gas prices. While demand for assistance from food shelves continues to rise across the state, rising costs for nonprofits makes it more difficult for them to meet that demand.If you use light rail transit in the Twin Cities — prepare for major changes starting next week, with buses replacing trains. That will affect the entirety of Metro Transit's Blue Line linking downtown Minneapolis to the airport and the Mall of America from Monday through Aug. 19.

The hour opens with Jamie Watson joining Chad on what we've seen so far from the US team and the rest of the World Cup.

Your yard can look “perfect” and still be a dead zone. I'm Brad Tabke, founder of A Better Yard, and I'm sharing what I keep seeing every spring: one property buzzing with birds and insects, the next one silent under a modern lawn system built around control. Once you notice that contrast, it changes the question from “How do I make this look flawless?” to “What does this space do for life around me?”We walk through our F's framework for sustainable yard care: eliminate chemicals, feed pollinators and birds, save clean water, and store carbon. Feeding birds and pollinators is the gateway because it hits the heart first. When monarchs and lightning bugs disappear and morning birdsong fades, it feels like a real loss. The good news is how fast nature answers when you give it a foothold with native plants, diverse flowers, and better habitat. We also talk about why some popular landscape choices, even beautiful ones, can support very little wildlife and what to look for instead.Then we get practical with a “rebel garden”: a small patch of lawn removed and replaced with densely planted native flowers and grasses. It's designed to be manageable, to create a quick win, and to turn your yard into something that actually participates in the local ecosystem. If you want step-by-step guidance, we share how to join us at member.abetteryard.org, plus an option for getting a rebel garden designed and installed if you're near Shakopee, Minnesota. Subscribe, share this with a neighbor, and leave a review, then tell us: what's one small change you'll make to bring life back?Learn more about getting your own Rebel Garden at ABetterYard.org.

One of the many hats that Kevin Gorg wears is one at Canterbury Park. Live racing returns on Saturday and a big weekend is planned. Updates on that and what lies ahead for Vineeta's beloved Minnesota Wild.

On this day, 26 April 2020, workers at the Amazon fulfilment centre in Shakopee, Minnesota, walked out on strike in protest at a colleague being fired for staying home during the Covid-19 pandemic.Workers claimed that over 50 members of the predominantly Somali workforce participated in the spontaneous work stoppage after the company sacked a worker called Faiza Osman who stayed home in order to protect her two children from the novel coronavirus, despite the fact that Amazon had informed workers they were allowed to stay home. Amazon claimed that fewer than 25 out of 1,000 workers took part.Strikers were also protesting against Amazon's decision to terminate its unlimited unpaid leave policy, despite coronavirus cases being reported at over half of its 110 warehouses.Following the walkout, Osman was reinstated by the company.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9801/amazon-workers-strikeOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

Send a textRebecca Delahunt, director of public policy for Minnesota Family Council, joined Liz Collin on her podcast and talked about the latest developments with the so-called Equal Rights Amendment.Among her many concerns, Delahunt explained that "if this were to pass, it would give much higher legal protection for males to be housed at Shakopee,” Minnesota's prison for women. She said it could also lead to protections in the state constitution that would allow criminals to change their names and birth certificates and “practically disappear without a court order.”Support the show

Today, we're excited to present Victoria Marie, an enrolled tribal member of the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate. She's the founder and owner of Indigenous Lotus, a wellness program that combines yoga classes, tribal dance, exercise and meditation with an emphasis on helping people cope with stress and trauma. Those stressors can include PTSD, homelessness, sexual exploitation and poverty. In addition to classes and workshops, Indigenous Lotus has a line of streetwear. Victoria shares the story of how, at age seventeen, she dropped out of high school, became a new mom and found herself struggling with depression. Her quest for guidance led her to the local library. There she found a book on meditation. That formed the foundation of her healing journey. When her son got older, meditation also became a shared bedtime practice for mom and son. Later, yoga came into her life. After getting certified, she taught yoga and movement to the youth at Little Earth of United Tribes. That became the origins of Indigenous Lotus, her yoga studio. Her business has evolved to include public speaking, workshops, art and apparel. Victoria talks about how a recent health diagnosis gave her permission to slow down, step back and surrender. Victoria lives in Shakopee with her partner, their children, two dogs, three cats, and a rabbit who loves to shred cardboard.-----Hosts / Producers: Leah Lemm, Cole Premo Editor: Britt Aamodt Editorial support: Emily Krumberger Mixing & mastering: Chris Harwood Photo credit: Victoria Marie-----For the latest episode drops and updates, follow us on social media. instagram.com/ampersradioinstagram.com/mnnativenewsfacebook.com/MNNativeNewsNever miss a beat.

This week, in Shakopee, Minnesota, a crazy scene unfolds, when witnesses see a man removing a headless body from his car... in the middle of an intersection. He makes an insane excuse that somehow, he beheaded his wife, by accident, but it's obvious that more is going on. The killer has had mental problems for a while, including believing that his eyes have been removed, and cameras have been implanted in his body!!   Along the way, we find out that you should always be wary of roller coasters, that when someone tries to burn themselves alive, they probably need some serious help, and that it's impossible to "accidentally" decapitate someone!!   New episodes, every Wednesday & Friday nights!!   Donate at Patreon.com/crimeinsports or go to paypal.com and use our email: crimeinsports@gmail.com Go to shutupandgivememurder.com for all things Small Town Murder, Crime In Sports & Your Stupid Opinions!   Follow us on... instagram.com/smalltownmurder facebook.com/smalltownpod   Also, check out James & Jimmie's other shows, Crime In Sports & Your Stupid Opinions on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!!
