Contributing writer Fritz Godard heads to Starkville to undertake a three-day apprenticeship in Space Hulk: Death Angel, the classic and brutal Warhammer 40,000 co-op card game. We played it — and classic Golden Era hip hop CDs on his boombox — for three days straight.I flipped the mic on and off with little regard to best recording practices as we stuffed our faces, guzzled beer, invented impossible sponsorship plans, and watched as Fritz went from a guy who couldn't tell which direction his Blood Angels were facing to a guy who can do gunslinger tricks with a Storm Bolter.Day One (1:14)Fritz rolls up in the driveway. I heat up a Lou Malnati's pizza, we crack some beers and review Fritz's journey of discovery in board gaming — and where I think that journey leads next.Interlude: “I Got it Bad Y'all” by King Tee feat.

What happens when God calls us to faithful service but hides the results from our view? This powerful exploration of Numbers 4 and the Kohathites invites us into a profound truth: we are called to carry holy things without always seeing what God is accomplishing through our obedience. The Kohathites were entrusted with transporting the most sacred objects of Israel's worship, yet they were forbidden from even looking at them. This seems counterintuitive to our results-driven world that demands immediate validation and visible fruit. Yet Scripture reveals a deeper reality—our lives are hidden with Christ in God, as Colossians 3:3 declares. This means God is doing ten thousand things in our circumstances while we may only be aware of three. The message challenges us to shift from living by validation to living by faith, from demanding that every seed we plant bear fruit tomorrow to trusting the One who holds all our tomorrows. We discover that our identity doesn't come from our assignments or accomplishments, but from being concealed in Christ. When the Father looks at us, He sees Jesus. This hidden life frees us from the exhausting burden of making our work carry the weight of our identity and allows us to serve faithfully even when we cannot see the harvest. The cultivation of this hidden life requires receiving the privilege of involvement, serving without needing to be seen, showing up consistently, resting in who covers us, and allowing the hidden to deepen our reverence for God.Connect with First Baptist Starkville: https://bit.ly/3M4mHnkSubscribe to see our latest sermons: https://bit.ly/3DxRyjHSupport this ministry and our work in Starkville, MS: https://bit.ly/44muvW0

What does it truly mean when we say that God is holy? This powerful exploration takes us deep into the heart of holiness, challenging our assumptions that it's merely about external behaviors or religious performance. We journey through Numbers 4 and discover a sobering truth in the story of Uzzah, who died when he touched the Ark of the Covenant. Yet this isn't a story about an angry God waiting to punish mistakes—it's about a holy God who desperately desires to dwell among His people. The message reveals that our holiness isn't something we manufacture through our own efforts; it's entirely dependent on God's presence within us. From the Israelites trembling at Mount Sinai to Jesus tearing the temple veil with His own flesh, we see a consistent theme: God's holiness never kept Him from pursuing us. Instead, He entered our darkness, overcame our distance, and placed His very life inside us. This transforms everything about how we understand Christian living. We're not called to perform our way into God's acceptance, but to allow His otherness to shine through our being. The Holy Spirit convicts us not to burden us, but to form us into witnesses of God's transforming power. When we grasp that the Holy One chooses to reside within us, holiness becomes less about what we avoid and more about whose we are.Connect with First Baptist Starkville: https://bit.ly/3M4mHnkSubscribe to see our latest sermons: https://bit.ly/3DxRyjHSupport this ministry and our work in Starkville, MS: https://bit.ly/44muvW0

In this powerful exploration of Numbers chapter 4, we discover a profound truth that challenges our modern assumptions about significance and worth. The sons of Merari were assigned what might seem like the most mundane task imaginable: carrying tent pegs, frames, and bases for the tabernacle. Yet this passage reveals something revolutionary about God's economy—nothing He assigns is beneath us when it comes from His hand. The message weaves together the Old Testament priesthood with Ephesians 4, showing how we are all called as a kingdom of priests, each with unique gifts distributed by Christ Himself. The tent pegs that held God's dwelling place were just as essential as the Ark of the Covenant itself. Without them, the entire structure would collapse. This reminds us that in God's grand design, every role matters, every calling is sacred, and faithfulness in the ordinary is where extraordinary transformation begins. We learn that tomorrow's dreams are shaped by today's obedience, and that the strength to carry our load comes not from our own effort but from surrendering to the grace Christ supplies. When we stop trying to validate our worth through our work and instead receive whatever God gives us as a gift to steward, we find true freedom.Connect with First Baptist Starkville: https://bit.ly/3M4mHnkSubscribe to see our latest sermons: https://bit.ly/3DxRyjHSupport this ministry and our work in Starkville, MS: https://bit.ly/44muvW0

Presented by Cannon Ford of Starkville/Cannon Chevrolet GMC of West Point, Maroon & Company, and EyeCare Professionals - Mississippi State will host Lipscomb, Cincinnati, and Louisiana in the Starkville Regional. The Bulldogs will open at 1:00 on Friday with a matchup with Lipscomb.

Presented by StrangeBrew Coffeehouse and Cannon Ford of Starkville/Cannon Chevrolet GMC of West Point - A wild and crazy day for Mississippi State sports started with Mississippi State softball taking down perennial power Oklahoma to advance to the College World Series. And later in the day, the NCAA released the 16 host sites for baseball regionals...and Starkville was on the list.

This powerful message takes us to an unexpected place in Scripture - the book of Numbers - to reveal a transformative truth about our purpose and calling. Through the story of the Kohathites, a seemingly obscure clan entrusted with carrying the most holy things in the tabernacle, we discover that God doesn't ask us to volunteer for significance. Instead, He names us before He needs us. The central revelation is this: the work we're called to is already God's work, and He qualifies the people He calls to carry it. We learn that our exhaustion in Christian living often comes from inventing work God never intended us to bear, rather than resting in the prepared work He's already accomplished through Christ. The Great Commission doesn't begin with our going - it begins with Jesus declaring all authority is His. This shifts everything from performance-driven ministry to Spirit-dependent partnership. When we understand that Jesus has covered us by His blood and filled us with His Spirit, the question changes from 'Am I qualified?' to 'Lord, what are You calling me to do?' This message offers sweet relief to weary souls, reminding us that we are God's masterpieces, created in Christ Jesus for good works He prepared in advance for us to walk in.Connect with First Baptist Starkville: https://bit.ly/3M4mHnkSubscribe to see our latest sermons: https://bit.ly/3DxRyjHSupport this ministry and our work in Starkville, MS: https://bit.ly/44muvW0

What is truly worth everything you have?In this message from Matthew 13, we explore Jesus' parables of the hidden treasure and the pearl of great price—and what they reveal about the value of the Kingdom of Heaven. Through a powerful personal story and biblical teaching, this sermon challenges us to examine whether we are fully surrendered to Christ or settling for something less.From a $1 yard sale baseball that turned out to be priceless, to the call of Jesus to give up everything for something far greater, this message confronts a hard truth: many don't reject God—they simply undervalue Him.The invitation is clear: See the true worth of Jesus Stop settling for a half-hearted faith Surrender fully—and discover the better tradeThis is especially relevant for students, graduates, and anyone stepping into a new season of life. What will you do with the treasure in front of you?Connect with First Baptist Starkville: https://bit.ly/3M4mHnkSubscribe to see our latest sermons: https://bit.ly/3DxRyjHSupport this ministry and our work in Starkville, MS: https://bit.ly/44muvW0

Presented by EyeCare Professionals, Pip Printing and Signs of Ridgeland, Cannon Ford of Starkville, and StrangeBrew Coffeehouse - State jumps out to an early lead and sweeps the 4 games in 2026 against the Rebels.

Last year at this time, the 2025 LSU baseball team was rounding into post-season shape as the Tigers charged to the school’s eighth national championship in June. This year’s 2026 LSU baseball team (ranked #2 in the preseason) lost its ninth straight SEC contest on Sunday after being swept by Mississippi State in Starkville.  It marked the first time LSU has lost nine SEC baseball games in a row at any time in the school’s long and decorated history dating back to 1933. The Tigers are 24-21 on the year.  LSU is only 6-12 in the very difficult SEC.  Only South Carolina (5-13) and Missouri (3-15) have a worse conference record through Sunday’s games. Eight wasn’t enough for LSU at Mississippi State over the weekend LSU scored eight runs in each of its three straight losses at Starkville, MS last weekend.  In each game, the Tigers got off to a fast start.  Unfortunately, the later innings saw the Tigers’ pitching falter while the offensive bats struggled against a talented Mississippi State bullpen. LSU dropped Friday’s opener 10-8 in 11 innings.  Saturday night’s game had LSU bolt out to a 7-2 lead starting the seventh inning.  The Tigers lost 9-8.  LSU led Sunday’s finale 8-5 midway through the sixth inning before losing 13-8. Mississippi State improved to 34-10 on the year and 10-8 in the SEC. The Bulldogs are part of a 5-way logjam for fourth place in the SEC.  Mississippi State is tied with Auburn, Florida, Ole Miss, and Oklahoma at 10-8 in the league. LSU has suffered through a number of key personnel losses in recent weeks.  Coach Jay Johnson can only do so much when his pitchers are getting hammered nightly and the Tiger bats go cold at the most inopportune moments. LSU fans who already booked hotel rooms for Omaha’s College World Series in June might need to be on the lookout for another team to root for if they still go to Nebraska. At least for the year 2026, the defending champions of NCAA Division I college baseball are toast. Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia went undrafted by the NFL last weekend Diego Pavia single-handedly made Vanderbilt football interesting to watch for the past two seasons.  His ability to scramble, run, and/or or pass kept SEC defenses off balance and the Commodores in the game. The Vandy quarterback (generously listed at 6’0” by the school) helped the Commodores improve from 2-10 in 2023 to 7-6 in 2024.  Vanderbilt posted a school record 10-3 season in 2025. Diego Pavia played with an incredible and very infectious confidence on the field during his two seasons with Vanderbilt.  He finished in second place in the Heisman Trophy voting last year.  Despite being relatively short by college QB standards, Pavia remained confident he would be drafted by an NFL team last weekend. Diego Pavia’s belief in himself has gone a little over-the-top at times.  His ego can block a bit of reality.  Vanderbilt’s offense was wisely structured to take advantage of the quarterback’s skills.  NFL teams want their incoming quarterbacks to fit into the head coach’s system. As his final season ended, Diego Pavia morphed another Johnny Manziel type of personality. You might remember that Texas A&M’s “Johnny Football” won the Heisman Trophy in 2012. Johnny Manziel was known for his personal confidence and arrogance (and off-field substance abuse).  It worked against him as a professional football player.  Selected in the first round by the Cleveland Browns, “Johnny Football” started just eight games and went just 2-6 over his two NFL seasons. The NFL combine measured Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia at 5’9” tall.  He would become the shortest quarterback in the NFL this year. Seven rounds and 257 names were called last weekend in Pittsburgh at the NFL Draft. Diego Pavia wasn’t one of them.  He became the first Heisman Trophy finalist to go undrafted since 2013. The good news is that Diego Pavia was signed as a free agent by the Baltimore Ravens on Tuesday.  That team only had two quarterbacks on the roster.  Pavia will have a decent chance to become an NFL back-up QB if he performs well during training camp and in preseason games. Texas Tech’s very expensive transfer quarterback is in deep trouble for gambling Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson told the NFL Draft media last week that he turned down a $6 million NIL offer to stay at Bama for his final year of eligibility. Instead, Simpson gambled on his NFL chances.  To the surprise of many (including me), Ty Simpson was selected with the 13th overall pick in Round 1 by the Los Angeles Rams. One sports site reported that Ty Simpson’s first NFL contract will be worth $24 million over his first four years with the Rams. Yes, that’s the same $6 million that Alabama allegedly offered. Had Ty Simpson been drafted as the last selection of the first round (#32 overall), he would be slated to make an estimated $16 million over four years. Texas Tech University in Lubbock has very wealthy athletics backers who have been funneling millions of dollars into the Red Raiders’ NIL cooperative. Last season, Texas Tech effectively outbid other prominent schools to sign several key transfer players.  It culminated with the Red Raiders going 11-1 in the regular season and playing in the first round of the College Football Playoffs. Texas Tech recently opened its NIL wallet to sign University of Cincinnati transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby for a reported $5 million next season. Sorsby started his college career at the University of Indiana prior to transferring to the Cincinnati Bearcats last year. Brendan Sorsby’s lone season with Cincinnati had him tossing 27 touchdown passes with only five interceptions.  He had been one of the most heavily recruited players in the NCAA Transfer Portal a few months ago. On Monday, Texas Tech announced that their new $5 million quarterback (who hasn’t played a down in Lubbock) had checked himself into a gambling treatment program. Reports surfaced that Brendan Sorsby has a history of betting on college football games.  That includes games involving Indiana (to win) while he was on that team as a freshman. Former LSU wide receiver Kayshon Boutte just completed his third year playing for the New England Patriots.  Boutte published a lengthy report in January, 2026 detailing a period where he was heavily involved with online sports gambling. Kayshon Boutte claims to have lost $90,000 gambling involving thousands of wagers during a period at LSU where he was rehabilitating from a severe ankle injury.  He was arrested in January, 2024 (a year into his NFL career) as part of an online gambling investigation.  The charges were dropped six months later. The ex-Tiger’s fascinating PG-13 rated story does have a positive ending and is worth the read (click here). Kayshon Boutte believes that most college athletes who get involved in gambling are “going through something.”  He added, “Don’t give up on them. Maybe they just need some help.” The NCAA is now investigating Texas Tech transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby for gambling allegations. Current NCAA rules call for significant punishment if a college athlete wagers more than a cumulative total of $800 or more. Based on Sorsby’s voluntary check-in for gambling addictions, it’s safe to say that he is above the $800 threshold. Sorsby could lose his final year of college eligibility.  Pro scouting reports indicated that Brendan Sorsby had a good chance to become a first round NFL draft choice next April. All of that could be in jeopardy now. Texas Tech will (of course) spend whatever money is necessary to cut a deal with the NCAA to give their $5 million transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby a chance on the field this fall.  Voluntarily entering a gambling addiction treatment program could go a long way to help his chances with the NCAA. Online gambling (all types including sports betting) has become epidemic.  Colleges report that 75% of all students gambled at least once during the last year.  Nearly 20% gamble weekly or more frequently. Let’s hope that Texas Tech’s Brendan Sorsby (much like former LSU wide receiver Kayshon Boutte) can turn things around soon and help others going down that same path.

**Clay Edwards Show – Episode 1,205** Clay opens the show on a somber note, paying tribute to his young neighbor Noah, who tragically drowned in a Brandon lake over the weekend. He shares heartfelt reflections on regret, guardian angels, and the pain no parent should ever face, asking listeners to keep the family in their prayers. He then recaps a massive weekend at Pearl Day in Pearl, where nearly 15,000 people turned out for Hinder and Daughtry. Clay announces he's personally funding concert ticket giveaways all summer long, kicking things off with **three pairs of field-level tickets** (valued at $500+ each) to Zach Bryan next Saturday night in Starkville at Davis-Wade Stadium. Clay dives into Jackson culture rot with a disturbing Fondren grocery store assault on a 76-year-old woman, calling out the lack of situational awareness, community response, and the broader breakdown that allows this kind of violence in public spaces. In hour two, Andrew Gasser joins Clay for a no-holds-barred discussion on the latest assassination attempt on President Trump at the White House Correspondents Dinner. They play a two-and-a-half-minute montage of Democrats openly calling for political violence, then shift to the Baton Rouge mall shooting that claimed the life of an innocent 17-year-old girl during senior skip day. Governor Landry's fiery comments on failed “thug policies,” soft-on-crime judges, and the need for real accountability dominate the conversation. They also expose radical ideology in public schools after Clay reveals a transgender flag and United Nations flag hanging in a Clinton High School classroom, warning that this kind of indoctrination is melting young minds and accelerating the culture rot. Unfiltered, no sugar added reality radio at its finest.

This week, in Starkville, Mississippi, a marriage that has a lot of bumps, along the way, including one of the children not actually belonging to the husband, explodes in violence, and terrible excuses. Even an appearence on the talk show "Montell Williams" couldn't solve their problems, but a murder ends everything. All signs point to the wife, but she blames it on her teen brother, and the prosecution blames them both, even claiming a strange, incestuous relationship between the siblings! Does the truth ever come out??   Along the way, we find out that no town should attach the word "Vegas" to their name, and expect us to believe it, that daytime talk shows may not be the best alternative to marriage counseling, and that you can only blame so much on others, before you start to look ridiculous!!   New episodes, every Wednesday & Friday nights!!
