From 1975 to 2000, Waco, Texas, faced a period of economic and social adjustment. Traditional industries declined, and the city grappled with the effects of suburbanization and uneven development. Efforts at downtown and riverfront renewal met with mixed success, reflecting broader struggles to redefine the community's identity and economic base. By the end of the century, Waco remained a city in transition—marked by persistence and gradual change rather than rapid transformation. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, our Groups Minister Josh Duinker continued our Desert Rose sermon series with a message from Psalm 25. Through this passage, we're reminded that loneliness is real, but Jesus has the final word. Even in the desert places, God calls us to depend on Him, to wait on Him, and to trust that He can bring life and light where there once was darkness.

In this message Pastor Les Cody expounds on one of the Ten Commandments, Keep the Sabbath Holy. Pulling from Exodus 16:22 through 30. Pastor Les teaches that you radically love God by keeping the Sabbath Holy! Pastor Les teaches that we as believers need to trust the Lord and understand that he can do more with 6 days than we can do in 7. Ps. Les touches on four points that war against Sabbath Rest. Teaching that resting in the Lord provides true peace and rest and that all other types of rest do not provide the level of rest that the Lord can provide. Teaching that the Sabbath is about trusting the Lord. And when you trust the Lord he proves faithful. Ps. Les provides 3 practical pieces of advice to prepare for the Sabbath. Teaching that freedom is found in the Sabbath Rest. When you reject the Sabbath, you reject God.  In this message, Pastor Les Cody delivers a powerful teaching on one of the Ten Commandments: “Keep the Sabbath Holy.” Drawing from Exodus 16:22–30, Pastor Les reveals that keeping the Sabbath is not a religious duty but a radical expression of love for God. He challenges believers to trust that the Lord can accomplish more in six days than we ever could in seven. Pastor Les identifies four key challenges that war against true Sabbath rest. He reminds us that genuine rest is found only in the Lord. All other forms of rest, cannot compare to the deep spiritual renewal that comes from trusting in Him. The Sabbath, Pastor Les teaches, is fundamentally about trusting the Lord's provision and faithfulness. When we set aside time to rest in Him, we declare our dependence on His strength rather than our own. And as we do, He proves Himself faithful again and again. To help believers embrace this rhythm of grace, Pastor Les offers three practical steps to prepare for the Sabbath, intentional ways to structure our time, hearts, and homes to honor the Lord. He concludes with a powerful reminder: true freedom is found in Sabbath rest, for when we reject the Sabbath, we are ultimately rejecting God's design.

The basis of the celebrated Paramount Network miniseries starring Michael Shannon and Taylor Kitsch -- Waco is the critically-acclaimed, first person account of the siege by Branch Davidian survivor, David Thibodeau.Twenty-five years ago, the FBI staged a deadly raid on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco. Texas. David Thibodeau survived to tell the story. When he first met the man who called himself David Koresh, David Thibodeau was a drummer in a local a rock band. Though he had never been religious in the slightest, Thibodeau gradually became a follower and moved to the Branch Davidian compound in Waco. He remained there until April 19, 1993, when the compound was stormed and burned to the ground after a 51-day standoff with government authorities.In this compelling account -- now with an updated epilogue that revisits remaining survivors--Thibodeau explores why so many people came to believe that Koresh was divinely inspired. We meet the men, women, and children of Mt. Carmel. We get inside the day-to-day life of the community. We also understand Thibodeau's brutally honest assessment of the United States government's actions. The result is a memoir that reads like a thriller, with each page taking us closer to the eventual inferno.https://amzn.to/42UuycPBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

In this message, Pastor Sean teaches on the first commandment, “You shall have no other gods before Me.” Loving God radically means putting Him above every idol, every false belief, and every desire that competes for our hearts. From Solomon's downfall to the modern idols of self, pleasure, and false religion, we see that anything placed before God leads to deception and distance from His love. False gods promise freedom but deliver bondage. Yet Jesus the one true and living God calls us to wholehearted devotion and authentic relationship. When we encounter Him, our hearts are set free to love purely, live boldly, and worship Him alone The vision of Mercy Culture is to take people from corporate encounters with God to daily personal encounters with God.

Jonathan Drake continues his deep dive into Lysander Spooner's No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority, dissecting Section 3 and exposing the illusion of voluntary consent in taxation and governance. He unpacks Spooner's argument that taxes, enforced under threat, are no different than theft by a “highwayman”, except the robber is more honest about his intentions than the government. Through Spooner's lens, Jonathan explores how the secret ballot conceals true authority, why voters can't possibly consent to laws they never agreed to, and how the state's monopoly on force violates natural law. Drawing connections from the Civil War to modern examples like Waco, Ruby Ridge, and January 6th, he reveals how coercion remains the cornerstone of political power. With sharp wit and calm conviction, Jonathan ties Spooner's 19th-century logic to today's crises, arguing that property taxes, foreign wars, and global corruption all stem from the same fraudulent social contract. The episode closes with a hopeful challenge: reclaiming liberty through understanding, self-sovereignty, and the timeless truth that consent cannot be compelled.

6. The 9/11 Failure and the Cold War Mindset Liza Mundy Book: The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA Leading up to 9/11, the women of Alec Station had been repeatedly warning that al-Qaeda had the capability to attack the United States. On 9/11, the CIA learned of the attacks via CNN, confirming the women's "sick inevitability." While CIA Director George Tenet evacuated the headquarters due to the threat of a plane attack, the Counterterrorism Center staff remained at their posts, working 24/7 to prevent a second wave. The women faced a reckoning afterward, being blamed for failing to connect the dots, despite previous internal struggles to get their analysis published. Adding to the difficulty, the incoming Bush administration, composed largely of "Cold Warriors," struggled to recognize a stateless terror organization as a legitimate, existential threat, focusing instead on traditional state adversaries with armies and capitals. Furthermore, historical failures like the Waco incident made the Clinton administration hesitant to approve operations against bin Laden due to fears of collateral damage.

This Sunday, Pastor John opened our new sermon series Desert Rose by reminding us that God's design for healing loneliness is found in genuine community. When God calls us to Himself, He also calls us to one another, inviting us to be a living church devoted to His Word, fellowship, prayer, and shared life together.

In today's powerful message, Pastor Nikki draws from Hebrews 12:14–28 to teach about the shaking of the Lord's glory. Through this passage, she reminds us that when God begins to “shake” His people, it is not to destroy them, but to refine, strengthen, and prepare them for the purpose He has set before them. Pastor Nikki emphasizes that this divine shaking is an act of love — a holy invitation to release what is unstable, temporary, or man-made, so that only what is eternal and rooted in God remains. She powerfully contrasts the Lord's way with man's way, teaching that human efforts are meaningless whereas, the Lord's way is the only way. Pastor Nikki challenges us to examine where our foundations lie — are we standing on the fragile work of our own hands, or on the unshakable foundation of God's truth and presence? Ultimately, she teaches that intimacy with the Lord requires participation. It's not a passive experience, but an active pursuit — choosing daily to come before Him, to be refined, and to allow His holiness to transform our hearts. Through this message, Pastor Nikki calls believers to draw nearer to God, inviting His glory to do the necessary shaking that leads to purity, steadfastness, and a deeper relationship with Him. The vision of Mercy Culture is to take people from corporate encounters with God to daily personal encounters with God. At Mercy Culture, one of our unique characteristics is that we are a presence driven church. We are not built around any person or ministry. We are built around the presence of God.

Behind the Scenes at the Achieve Conference: Game-Changing Tips, AI Privacy, and Real Creator Strategies In this episode of the Creatives on Fire podcast, I'm recapping the highlights from my recent trip to the Achieve Conference in Waco—and trust me, these takeaways are worth every second of your time. But first—a quick announcement: I'm taking a short break from the podcast for Q4 to focus fully on my business and set things up strong for the new year. While I pause the podcast, I'll still be uploading videos three times a week on YouTube, so be sure to subscribe here if you haven't already! https://creativesonfirepodcast.com/episode217 Now, let's dive into the top lessons and tips I'm bringing home from the conference: Protect Your AI Content Thanks to Maria Duron, I discovered an important setting in ChatGPT that affects your content privacy. Here's what to do: Open ChatGPT (on both desktop and mobile). Click your profile icon > Settings > Data Controls. Toggle OFF “Improve the model for everyone.” This ensures your ideas, courses, books, and business strategies are NOT used to train the AI model. Do it on each device to make sure your data is protected. Build a Brand Story People Remember Gurneet Chhabra of the Savvy Fashion Girl reminded us that authenticity is more than a buzzword—it's a brand builder. Her tips: Regularly share a short, powerful story of who you are and why you do what you do. Create a quick video or Reel version of your story to reintroduce yourself often. Pay close attention to metrics as your audience's way of speaking back to you: Saves = Value Shares = Impact Comments = Connection Link Clicks = Trust Metrics aren't vanity numbers—they're your community's response. Use them to tweak and align your messaging. Practical Creator Tools and Tech Tips A panel of content creators shared some quick, impactful tools and settings every creator should know: Set your phone's camera to record at 1080p HD at 30 FPS for best clarity. Adjust aspect ratio to 9:16 (vertical) for optimal results across platforms. Create content that's doable and relatable, not over-produced. Simple projects often perform better than complicated ones. Fit Content Into a Busy Schedule Sarah Elizabeth (a full-time teacher and content creator) shared her brilliant system for staying consistent: She creates project-specific albums in her phone to track all content—photos, supplies, videos. She stays late at work one hour each day to batch reply, engage, and post, knowing once she's home, life takes over. Her mindset shift: If you're in it for the long haul, why race? Do the content you love. Plan it out. Then share it from a place of purpose. If you take nothing else away from this episode—toggle off ChatGPT content sharing and go back to your content roots. Lead with authenticity, lean into what works, and protect the creative spark that brought you here. Taking a break from podcasting for Q4 was not easy, but it's necessary for me to pour into what matters most right now. I challenge you to do the same—audit your focus and lean into growth this season.

This week, Pastor John uses the story of Samson to show how sin disguises itself to draw us in and how temptation patiently targets our weaknesses. While the enemy delights in our downfall, Jesus delights in our forgiveness and transforms what once bound us into a testimony of His grace and freedom.

Host Faust Checho exposes how Bill Clinton's rise from Arkansas governor to president completed the Bush–Clinton blueprint: turning the Boys on the Tracks cover-up, Whitewater, Waco, and the Oklahoma City bombing into milestones in the creation of America's modern security state.This is Part 5, the finale of Faust's explosive series exposing how the Bush–Clinton machine evolved from covert wars to total domestic control.As the Bush–Clinton dynasty tightened its grip, Arkansas became the prototype for covert power — a proving ground where autopsies were altered, investigators silenced, and scandals rebranded as reform. In this explosive finale of the Bush-Clinton corruption series, Faust traces how scandal in Saline County evolved into the Clinton Body Count, how REX 84 and Operation Night Train foreshadowed a domestic war machine, and how policies like the 1994 Crime Bill, NAFTA, and the Telecommunications Act transformed America into the surveillance state we live in today. From Mena to the Rose Law Firm, from Haiti to Kosovo, the same networks of money, drugs, and blackmail that fueled Iran-Contra were refined under Bill Clinton — and exported worldwide.Topics in this episode include:

In this first installment of Antifascist Christianity: Black Jesus, Matthew revisits Dietrich Bonhoeffer's journey from the theological classrooms of Berlin to the Black churches of Harlem — where he encountered a Jesus entirely unlike the imperial figure of his upbringing. Bonhoeffer arrived in New York a servant of white European Christendom, and left transformed by the radical, suffering, and liberatory presence of Black Jesus. Matthew connects Bonhoeffer's awakening to today's spectacle of white nationalism in worship — from the triumphalist religion on display at Charlie Kirk's memorial to the enduring cultural power of “white Jesus” as theology for empire. Drawing on Reggie Williams's Bonhoeffer's Black Jesus, Cedric Robinson's Black Marxism, and Jeanelle Hope and Bill Mullen's The Black Antifascist Tradition, the episode traces how colonialism created a Christ built to bless domination, and how the Black church reclaimed him through solidarity, suffering, and resistance. The contrast between the fortress hymn A Mighty Fortress Is Our God and the spiritual Were You There becomes the turning point in Bonhoeffer's faith — from triumph to trembling, from power to empathy. Part 2, out Monday on Patreon, explores how liberal Christianity tried to stand between these poles, and why it failed. Show Notes Hope, Jeanelle K., and Bill V. Mullen.

Description of our bike packing project. Route, how we found it, plans for executing. Recruiting Emily as our 4x4 support vehicle. Make your adventure finishable and fun in case something goes wrong. Kai and I probably will race Marathon MTB and Gravel Races again this Fall/Winter/Spring Backyard Ultra? and run 100 miles in 24 hours? You race to get good, then "graduate" to a multisport lifestyle where you don't want to stop training to race. Women's racing has gotten crazy good. But hasn't it always been?

A multi-sport athlete growing up, Bret was undersized and under-recruited before going to play for Brandt Kieschnick at Sam Houston State.

In August 1992, a remote cabin in the mountains of Idaho became the site of one of the most controversial standoffs in American history. What began as a warrant enforcement operation quickly escalated into a violent confrontation between federal agents and Randy Weaver's family, resulting in multiple deaths and sparking national outrage.The Ruby Ridge siege would not only ignite debates over government overreach, gun rights, and militia movements, but also influence how federal law enforcement handled future crises like Waco and beyond.In this episode, we explore the background of the Weaver family, the tragic events that unfolded over 11 tense days, and the lasting impact this confrontation had on American politics, law enforcement, and public trust.This is the story of mistrust, escalation, and a standoff that changed the course of U.S. history.For HUNDREDS more cases (and to request your own!), visit icmap.co.uk now and sign up for free!Presented by Tom Norris & Ben CarterWritten by Ben CarterProduced by Dan J LambertEdited by Ben Bonsey Hosted on Acast.
