Episode Summary:   Money and marriage. Health and wealth. We know they're connected — but most couples still struggle to talk about either. In this episode, we sit down with Adam Cox, a Sioux Falls native and seasoned financial advisor, to talk about the emotional, behavioral, and practical habits that lead to true financial wellness.     Adam works with high-level professionals and families every day, helping them navigate not just numbers — but the mindsets behind them. From building financial muscle like physical fitness to learning how to regulate money stress, this episode is a blueprint for turning financial fear into long-term freedom.   We explore:   Why financial stress mirrors physical burnout How to spot early warning signs of financial unhealth What couples really need to be talking about (but aren't) How to build a 90-day game plan for financial fitness Why income alone isn't enough What true financial freedom looks like beyond just a number in the bank     Whether you're a young couple trying to get aligned, or a high earner who still feels financially stuck, this conversation will give you a better framework for wealth — and a stronger foundation for your marriage.        Listener Challenge:     Pick one financial "habit rep" you can do today — review your spending, set a savings target, or talk about long-term goals with your partner. The reps you do now determine your financial freedom later.

HEY! We encourage you to listen to this show as part of the "Happy Hour with John Gaskins" daily podcast, which you can find at SiouxFallsLive.com, and most podcast platforms like the one you find here! So, if you enjoy the topics Matt & John cover, you'll get those topics, plus relevant local guests, every Monday through Thursday on Happy Hour... so we highly recommend you check that out!What could possibly be a bigger local sports story than South Dakota State All-America offensive lineman Quentin Christensen turning down a $1 million NIL offer from an SEC school recently?  Not much, but the SDSU women's basketball team losing a Summit League regular season basketball game for the first time in 68 contests — which spans nearly four calendar years — was quite a whopper over the weekend. Those were two of the main topics in a 75-minute weekly "Nobody's Listening Anyway" podcast on Happy Hour with Matt Zimmer on Monday. Zimmer confirmed with confidence in his sources that Christensen joins fellow South Dakota native Chase Mason as Jackrabbits who turned down seven-figure NIL offers. This comes three days after the two week portal window closed for players to declare their free agency. SDSU head coach Dan Jackson will join Happy Hour on Wednesday to remark on that, plus the Jacks' top portal additions (many from Div. II) and, as importantly, lack of portal losses this season.  Meanwhile, North Dakota State finally became the first team to beat the Jackrabbit women since USD took down SDSU twice in 2022 — in a Feb. 5 regular season game and again in the Summit League tournament championship game on March 8.  This means the Bison ended a 54-game overall streak for the Jacks against conference opponents. So why was Saturday the day? How did NDSU pull this off on the Jacks' home court? And what does this mean for SDSU and the rest of the league for the rest of the season, now that (at least for a game) the walls have cracked? Zim has answers and also explains why he feels the SDSU men will still be a threat in Sioux Falls in March despite a 10-10 record and 3-2 league mark that includes last Wednesday's loss to first place and still undefeated-in-conference NDSU. Part of the chat about the two Bison basketball wins was the large and palpable crowds in both Brookings and Fargo for the showdowns with the Jacks.  This led to a larger discussion about declining attendance the last several years at local and regional college basketball games in general. Well, except at SDSU (for the most part). Zim and the host pick apart why not as many people go to games despite plenty of the Div. I and Div. II teams in the Dakotas being consistently decent-to-great. The pod's plane lands in Minneapolis with a word about the Minnesota Vikings and how they didn't fit into the playoff picture in a year when things were far more ripe-for-the-taking than most.

This powerful message invites us into a transformative kind of prayer that moves beyond asking God to change our circumstances and instead invites Him to change us from the inside out. Drawing from Psalm 139:23-24, we're challenged to pray David's courageous prayer: 'Search me, God, and know my heart. Test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me and lead me in the way everlasting.' This isn't about becoming more impressive in our spiritual performance—it's about becoming more honest with God about the unexamined parts of our lives. We're reminded that we're incredibly skilled at managing the version of ourselves that others see, but there's a version of us that nobody else sees—not our coworkers, friends, or even closest loved ones. The deepest work God wants to do isn't around us; it's in us. This prayer multiplies our spiritual growth not when we sound more spiritual, but when we become more surrendered. God doesn't search us for His information—He already knows everything. He searches us for our transformation, revealing what is broken while offering direction and healing. The beautiful truth is that God is gentle with what He reveals, exposing only what He intends to heal, because He looks at our hearts when everyone else looks at outward appearances.Subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@CelebrateChurchCelebrate Church is led by Pastor Noah Rollins.

What if the reason we've stopped praying isn't because we've lost our faith, but because we've misunderstood how prayer actually works? This powerful exploration of John 15:1-8 challenges our performance-driven approach to spiritual growth and invites us into something far more transformative: abiding. Jesus describes Himself as the vine and us as the branches, revealing that fruitfulness doesn't come from striving harder but from staying connected longer. We live in a culture that has trained us for immediacy—instant results, quick answers, and fast outcomes. But when we bring this consumeristic mindset into our relationship with God, we set ourselves up for disappointment. Prayer becomes transactional rather than relational. The Greek word 'mino' that Jesus uses for 'abide' means to stay, to remain, to make your home somewhere. It's about conscious engagement with the presence of an omnipresent God. We're not climbing a ladder to reach God or strengthening a muscle to impress Him. We're simply staying close, even when things feel quiet, even when we doubt, even when we don't get the answers we want. This message liberates us from the exhausting cycle of spiritual self-sufficiency and invites us into the rest of depending on Jesus for everything. Apart from Him, we can do nothing—and that's not meant to shame us, but to free us.Subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@CelebrateChurchCelebrate Church is led by Pastor Noah Rollins.

How are Lutheran School Teachers inspiring children to learn and also consider future careers in church work? Austin Albers (High School History Teacher, Sioux Falls Lutheran School, Sioux Falls, SD) and Jon Pinn (5th Grade Teacher, Sioux Falls Lutheran School, Sioux Falls, SD) join Andy and Sarah for our Set Apart to Serve series to talk about their respective journeys toward becoming Lutheran School teachers, their education backgrounds and who inspired them to become teachers, what gives them joy in teaching, how they see themselves influencing the life and faith of their students, and the opportunities they have to encourage youth in their future vocations. Hear the episode that inspired this conversation at kfuo.org/2025/10/24/coffee-hour-102425-set-apart-to-serve-brothers-in-cune-church-work-programs. Christ's church will continue until He returns, and that church will continue to need church workers. Set Apart to Serve (SAS) is an initiative of the LCMS to recruit church workers. Together, we pray for workers for the Kingdom of God and encourage children to consider church work vocations. Here are three easy ways you can participate in SAS: 1. Pray with your children for God to provide church workers. 2. Talk to your children about becoming church workers. 3. Thank God for the people who work in your congregation.

HEY! We encourage you to listen to this show as part of the "Happy Hour with John Gaskins" daily podcast, which you can find at SiouxFallsLive.com, and most podcast platforms like the one you find here! So, if you enjoy the topics Matt & John cover, you'll get those topics, plus relevant local guests, every Monday through Thursday on Happy Hour... so we highly recommend you check that out!How strong are the brands of both Jackrabbits and Coyotes football heading into the 2026 season?It was not a topic on the docket of hosts John Gaskins and Matt Zimmer for the first "Nobody's Listening Anyway" podcast of the new year, but that is the beauty of the show — a natural barstool conversation, "Happy Hour with John Gaskins" style, that leads down unplanned roads. The "brands" of South Dakota's two Div. I football programs were dissected after John and Matt discussed the early transfer portal headlines for SDSU and USD. Nothing much new has popped since the December news that two Jackrabbits who would potentially be big money Power Four transfers (Chase Mason and Quentin Christensen) announced they were staying in Brookings, while two Coyotes decided to leave Vermillion to seek greener pastures (L.J. Phillips and Larenzo Fenner).The bigger picture is what second year head coaches Dan Jackson and Travis Johansen — who both tackled massive portal losses before their first seasons started — are doing to establish and maintain strong brands that will allow stability and success no matter how brutal portal combat gets year after year.And what about the rest of the FCS? Did Montana State and Illinois State breaking the nine-season streak of either North Dakota State or SDSU playing for (and winning) the national title mean there is more parity, or should we expect the usual suspects back in 2026?And how about Monday night's game? It felt like Redbirds lost it more than the Bobcats won, and John and Matt don't hold back on ISU's collapse. Next, a dive into the early Summit League men's and women's basketball seasons. Speaking of brands and identities, what do nonconference slates and early league battles suggest for things to come in a couple of months once the tournament comes back to Sioux Falls?Will the SDSU women go unbeaten in league play for a fourth consecutive season since Dawn Plitzuweit left USD? How much stronger of challengers will the Coyotes be? On the men's side, is there any clear favorite? And what do we make of USD's M*A*S*H unit and how that affects the program moving beyond this season?The show ends back on the gridiron, where both hosts say "I told you so" on the Minnesota Vikings turning down Aaron Rodgers in the offseason. Considering the shaky ability and availability of J.J. McCarthy in his first season, should Kevin O'Connell reach out to Rodgers or another veteran again... or ride it out with the kid and give him time he may need to pop?The answer to both could be yes. Hear why.Finally, John and Matt try to make sense of Alabama's 38-3 humiliation from Indiana in the Rose Bowl and what legs Kalen DeBoer has to stand on heading into his third year. A history lesson from his early years as head coach at the University of Sioux Falls could lend a hint.

As we step into a new year, we're confronted with a profound reality: we are in a spiritual war. This isn't a metaphorical struggle or a nice religious concept—it's the actual battlefield of our lives. The enemy's goal, as Jesus plainly stated in John 10, is to steal, kill, and destroy everything we hold dear. But here's the transformative truth: we don't fight this war with human weapons or defensive strategies. Instead, we're called to take the offensive using the same three weapons Jesus himself wielded—prayer, the Word of God, and fasting. Ephesians 6 reminds us that our struggle isn't against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces, which means our spouse, boss, or family members aren't the enemy. When we grasp this, everything changes. The message introduces a revolutionary approach to prayer that moves beyond simple requests: praying for, praying with, praying into, praying over, and praying against. These five dimensions of prayer create a spiritual fortress around everything we care about. When we anoint our homes, speak God's Word into our children's futures, and directly command the enemy to leave, we're not playing defense anymore—we're advancing God's kingdom. The 21-day challenge of daily prayer, Bible reading, and weekly fasting isn't about religious duty; it's about building the habit that will unlock miracles we've only dreamed of. What if this year could be different? What if marriages were restored, prodigal children came home, and generational curses were finally broken? The weapons are in our hands.Subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@CelebrateChurchCelebrate Church is led by Pastor Noah Rollins.

This Christmas Eve message invites us into a profound truth that transcends tradition: Christmas isn't primarily about what we give, but about what God gave. Drawing from Luke 2 and John's declaration that 'the Word became flesh,' we're reminded that Jesus represents heaven's collision with earth—God stepping into our fractured, hurting world not because we deserved it, but because we desperately needed it. The sermon explores the three gifts of the Magi—frankincense pointing to Jesus as our high priest, myrrh revealing him as our suffering servant, and gold declaring him as king—yet redirects our focus to the ultimate gift: Jesus himself. What makes this gift extraordinary is its permanence in a world where everything else fades. While other presents create moments, Jesus creates life. The challenge presented is both simple and profound: a gift can be given yet never received. We can admire Jesus from a distance, appreciate the Christmas story culturally, without ever truly opening our lives to him. The invitation echoes Jesus' own words in Matthew 11:28—'Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.' Christmas isn't God adding weight to our already heavy lives; it's Jesus offering to carry that weight with us. We don't need to clean ourselves up first or fix our brokenness before approaching him. Like the shepherds who came as they were, we're invited to receive this gift in our current state—with our fears, wounds, regrets, and uncertainties fully exposed.Subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@CelebrateChurchCelebrateChurch is led by Pastor Noah Rollins.Our vision is for people to MEET JESUS so they can go out and BE JESUS.Stay Connected!

HEY! We encourage you to listen to this show as part of the "Happy Hour with John Gaskins" daily podcast, which you can find at SiouxFallsLive.com, and most podcast platforms like the one you find here! So, if you enjoy the topics Matt & John cover, you'll get those topics, plus relevant local guests, every Monday through Thursday on Happy Hour... so we highly recommend you check that out!Merry Christmas Eve Eve!Go ahead an unwrap our Happy Hour with John Gaskins early Christmas present to you — nothing much different than any other Tuesday with Sioux Falls Live's Matt Zimmer on the show.No "Top 5 Christmas Movies" or "Most Overrated Christmas Songs" lists, or "Egg Nog — Yea or Nay?"No "Year in Review" chronological stroll down memory lane of the biggest sports stories of 2025. (That's for tomorrow's Happy Hour — our Christmas Eve present!) Instead, Zim and the host give the gift that keeps on giving the whoooooooole year for the last five years of the weekly "Nobody's LIstening Anyway" podcast — brutal honesty and candor (with some humor) about the most intriguing current sports topics of the Sioux Empire and South Dakota.In this week's case, yet another discussion about what the future may look like for both NDSU and SDSU in college football, thanks to the latest internet whispers about the Bison's "playing footsie" with the Mountain West Conference. While nothing has been confirmed as fact, it's an open door to discussing which level of football is more desirable for NDSU and SDSU — the FCS or FBS.Did the humiliation of James Madison and Tulane by Power Four schools with far more resources and NIL money signal the beginning of the end to a "seat at the table" for the "rest of the FBS" beyond the Big 10, SEC, ACC, and Big 12? It certainly appears so.If that's the case, do the Bison and Jackrabbits really have a reason to move up? Well, maybe if there is ever the splitting of P4 from Non-P4, creating a new sub-level Div. I fusion of Group of Six FBS programs with some of the more established FBS-ish operations in the FCS like NDSU, SDSU, Montana, Montana State, and USD. As usual, Zim moves to the beat of his own drum on this topic. Then, a dive into the splashiest early pre-transfer portal headlines — heavy hitters who have announced they are staying at SDSU (Chase Mason, Quentin Christensen) and leaving USD (L.J. Phillips and Larenzo Fenner).It isn't just a conversation about the retention of players, but the types of players the two South Dakota programs recruit. Nuance is necessary and provided.Nuance would have been nice as rumors exploded about the possibility that Kalen DeBoer would ever leave Alabama for Michigan. Zim, a former teammate of DeBoer's in South Dakota amateur baseball who also covered DeBoer's five-year run of NAIA dominance at the University of Sioux Falls, sheds his own light on watching the speculation ignite in a ball of flames during the Crimson Tide's 17-point comeback playoff win at Oklahoma.Stocking stuffer — a glimpse into a weekend of South Dakota State's women's basketball that featured the two marquee games on the non-conference schedule within four days of each other. Duke and Texas both soundly beat the Jackrabbits. What might this mean in March for SDSU's possible NCAA Tournament seeding? Is it too early to just assume the Jacks will reach the Big Dance, which feels like an annual rite of passage?    Stocking stuffer II — Now what for Minnesota Vikings fans like Zim if J.J. McCarthy is done for the season with his new hand injury? It seemed like tracking the quarterback's progression to see if there is something to be optimistic about in 2026 has likely been replaced with the QB quandary that has stunted the team's growth for most of our lives.Merry Christmas. Bah Humbug! 

At the heart of Christmas lies a profound question that extends far beyond seasonal celebration: Is Jesus our king? This exploration of the Magi's gift of gold to the infant Jesus reveals that gold was never a casual present in the ancient world—it was reserved exclusively for royalty. When these wise travelers placed gold at Jesus' feet, they made a radical declaration of surrender and allegiance. The distinction between acknowledging Jesus as king in general versus making him king of our personal lives becomes the central tension we must navigate. We can know all the right theology, attend church regularly, and sing the songs, yet still miss the king entirely if we refuse to surrender control. The sermon draws from Matthew 2, where the Magi's question about the newborn King of the Jews threatened King Herod's authority, exposing a deeply human tendency: when our control is challenged, fear and resistance surface. The message challenges us to examine the areas of our lives we've withheld from Jesus' kingship—our finances, time, relationships, future plans, and pain management. Jesus doesn't seek partial authority or sectioned-off devotion; he calls for complete surrender. Yet this isn't the demand of a tyrant but the invitation of a humble, righteous, and eternal king who emptied himself to serve us. The freedom we desperately seek comes not from doing whatever we want, but from becoming who God created us to be through surrender to his perfect leadership.Subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@CelebrateChurchCelebrateChurch is led by Pastor Noah Rollins.Our vision is for people to MEET JESUS so they can go out and BE JESUS.Stay Connected!

For 27 years, she was just Jane Doe, a nameless woman found decomposed in an Iowa ditch in 1978. In 2006, a fingerprint match finally gave her a name: Wilma June Nissen, a 23-year-old mother. Wilma's daughter Krissi spent nearly 30 years believing her mother had abandoned her, only to learn the devastating truth that she'd been murdered just after Krissi's first birthday. Now, Krissi is fighting to solve her mother's cold case, and investigators believe they know who did it. This is the story of a woman who was failed by every system that should have protected her. Someone out there knows what happened that summer night in 1978, and Wilma June Nissen deserves justice.To Report Information:Crime Stoppers USA: 1-800-222-TIPS (8477)Website: crimestoppersusa.orgCold Case Coalition Tip Line: (385) 258-3313WeTip Anonymous Tip Line: 1-800-78-CRIME (1-800-782-7463)Sioux Falls Crime Stoppers: (605) 367-7007 or toll-free (877) 367-7007Website: crimestopperssiouxempire.comSupport Resources: If you or someone you know has experienced child abuse, neglect, or sexual exploitation:National Child Abuse Hotline: 1-800-422-4453RAINN National Sexual Assault Hotline: 1-800-656-4673National Human Trafficking Hotline: 1-888-373-7888Krissi's Platforms:Justice4WilmaJuneNissen.comwilmasdaughter.substack.comBluesky: @krissihaas1977.bsky.socialTikTok: Krissi_1977medium.com/@justice4wilmaX (Twitter): @MyMomsMurderChange.org petition: https://c.org/7jyxTjGVzCSOURCES:https://iowacoldcases.org/case-summaries/wilma-june-nissen/https://projectcoldcase.org/2025/05/12/wilma-nissen/https://www.nwestiowa.com/news/new-lead-for-lyon-county-cold-case/article_31e9c062-1961-11e6-a014-53443c67e206.htmlhttps://www.the-sun.com/news/14825036/wilma-nissen-cold-case-mom-murdered-krissi-atkisson-iowa/https://www.nbcnews.com/dateline/cold-case-spotlight/wilma-nissen-rock-rapids-iowa-homicide-unsolved-rcna232527https://siouxcityjournal.com/news/article_6820cdc8-6145-5524-9fc2-3e96212da18e.htmlhttps://muscatinejournal.com/news/state-regional/crime-courts/article_e6a2c980-b20e-5d53-a74c-435d649b4828.htmlhttps://nonpareilonline.com/news/state-regional/crime-courts/article_4409d496-4e68-5e8e-b907-f5e1c42decc8.htmlhttps://siouxlandnews.com/archive/arrest-made-in-1978-lyon-county-cold-case-01-26-2016https://www.dakotanewsnow.com/2025/05/08/missing-murdered-who-killed-wilma-june-nissen-1978/https://medium.com/@CrimeStoriesNow/unraveling-the-cold-case-the-wilma-june-nissen-mystery-e6908d9e9ed2https://storiesoftheunsolved.com/2021/02/14/the-murder-of-wilma-june-nissen/https://seasonofjustice.org/featured/wilma-june-nissen/https://original.newsbreak.com/@fatim-hemraj-561392/2226594487639-who-killed-wilma-june-nissen-help-solve-this-43-year-old-cold-casehttps://medium.com/chameleon/who-killed-wilma-june-nissen-help-solve-this-43-year-old-cold-case-41b784aba10https://www.maryhallbergmedia.com/post/unsolved-the-murder-of-wilma-nissenhttps://synovaink.com/2025/03/12/jane-doe-mother-identified-cold-case-of-wilma-june-nissen/Dakota Spotlight Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/krissis-search-the-murder-of-wilma-june-nissen/id1451783176?i=1000704327368Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/reverie-true-crime--4442888/support.Keep In Touch:Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/reveriecrimepodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/reverietruecrimeTumblr: https://reverietruecrimepodcast.tumblr.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/reverietruecrimeContact: ReverieTrueCrime@gmail.com Intro & Outro by Jahred Gomes: https://www.instagram.com/jahredgomes_official 

What if the most meaningful gift ever given was wrapped in burial spices? This exploration of the wise men's gift of myrrh turns our comfortable Christmas sentiments upside down, revealing a profound truth: Jesus wasn't born just to live, but to die for us. Myrrh—a fragrant resin extracted only by wounding a tree—served as a burial spice in the ancient world, making its presence at a birthday celebration both startling and prophetic. Drawing from Isaiah 53's powerful prophecy that the Messiah would be pierced for our transgressions, we're confronted with the reality that Jesus entered our world specifically to carry our suffering. This isn't abstract theology—it's deeply personal. Every burden we shoulder, every pain we hide, every wound we nurse was meant to be laid at His feet. The cradle only makes sense when we see the cross on the horizon. Jesus' radical humility in becoming vulnerable and dependent, ultimately leading to death on a cross, wasn't tragedy but triumph. His suffering broke death's dominion forever. The question we must wrestle with is this: What are we carrying that Jesus came to take? Are we showing contempt for His kindness by insisting on bearing our own burdens, or will we respond like the wise men—bowing, surrendering, and offering everything to the King who gave everything for us?Subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@CelebrateChurchCelebrateChurch is led by Pastor Noah Rollins.Our vision is for people to MEET JESUS so they can go out and BE JESUS.Stay Connected!
