Do you sometimes feel invisible, forgotten, or just another face in the crowd in our increasingly anonymous digital world?#BattleDrillDaily #YouMatter #KnownByGod #FaithToday's Battle Drill Daily Devotional reveals something that might change everything about how you see yourself. Through The Salvation Army's powerful #150reasons campaign that collected transformation stories from Australia to Bangladesh, we discover a profound truth: the Creator of the universe knows each of us personally and intimately.Exploring Isaiah 45:3, we examine what it means to be called by name by God himself. As a Salvation Army church leader, I've learned that calling someone by their name is deeply personal - it says "I see you, I value you, you matter to me." That's precisely what God does with each of us, but here's what makes this extraordinary: there's a fundamental difference between knowing someone's name and calling them by name with intention and affection.This episode challenges the world's constant evaluation of our worth based on performance and achievements, revealing how God's knowledge of our names provides an unshakeable foundation for identity. Even Cyrus, a pagan king, was called by name for divine purposes - how much more intimately does God know those who belong to him?Scripture: "I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness - secret riches. I will do this so you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name" (Isaiah 45:3 NLT).Call to Action: Say your name out loud right now, then declare "I am known by God" - let this transformational truth change how you walk through your day.You can read this week's devotionals by downloading them from here - https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/qx9k7x1cca5lsdw5dho3n/250727.pdf?rlkey=ciqkuc6nhgr2butxdocmii8ie&dl=0Visit battledrilldevotional.com for more devotionals.

Trust. We don't do anything alone. Trust is at the heart of relationship. God trusted Jesus with the disciples. Jesus trusted the disciples with his mission after he ascended.  Parents need trust when they hand their children to others for care and education. And we are all responsible for the well-being of all God's children, not just our own. “Child Well-being” is one of Westwood's five core values.  This message addresses the importance of creating trustworthy environments that enable all people to thrive. Our scripture reading is from Isaiah Chapter 40, verses 28-31, and the Gospel lesson is from John 17, verses 6-9.

It's 1964 and the Mods and Rockers are ready to tear each other apart on the sun-bleached boardwalks of Westwood-by-the-Sea. But something far more sinister is about to descend on this sleepy coastal town. What begins as a turf war explodes into an all-out survival nightmare as rival youth gangs must set aside their switchblades and scooters to fight off an invasion of flesh-mimicking Pod People. It's Quadrophenia meets The Blob meets Invasion of the Body Snatchers in this wild, genre-smashing thrill ride of rock 'n' roll rebellion, and full-blown alien terror.

Number, Word and Song of the Day. Former UCLA QB and current Bruins Analyst Wayne Cook on Nico coming to Westwood and what it means for the football team. Secret Textoso Roundup

Zan Dubin and I met in Frogtown beside the LA River and quickly dove into her long history of activism, journalism, and life hear in LA. Born Alexandra, she was nicknamed after a character from The Little Foxes.Zan arriving in Westwood in 1966 at age nine — and she's remained committed to both the city and the causes close to her heart ever since.Her dedication to electric vehicles began in 2002, when she and her then-husband bought a Toyota RAV4 EV. They became active in saving leased EVs from being crushed, founding Plug In America.“We were able to save about 800 cars that would have been crushed,” she said, and her activism hasn't stopped. Wearing a T-shirt that reads “Question Internal Combustion,” she embodies a lifetime of environmental commitment.But what of the posterboy of modern EV vehicles: The notorious Elon Musk?“I abhor Elon,” she said plainly. “I'm really sad and angry at everything that he's doing. However, I think an even greater and more imminent threat is climate change.” While she criticizes Musk's politics and behavior, she praises Tesla's engineering and the ever-growing charging network's reach.

Zane Westwood (@zane_westwood) comes back on the show to recap his last year, the Foil Fest event that he's running, how his downwind boards have evolved, and other foil awesomeness.

On March 31, 1975, the UCLA Bruins beat the Kentucky Wildcats 92-85 for the 10th and final championship under the legendary Wizard of Westwood, John Wooden. The greatest collegiate coach in U.S. history retired after his team's 7-point win at the Sports Arena in San Diego. UCLA was the best in college basketball in 1964, 1965, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973 & 1975. An astonishing 10 titles in 12 years! Nothing in major collegiate sports compares to the dominance of what Wooden accomplished in his final dozen years in Westwood. A week later, Steve Garvey was on the April 7, 1975 issue of SI, but the story that captivated the sports world was the final game of Wooden's time at UCLA. The end of an era that will never be replicated… and he went out a champion. Now in retirement at the age of 64, Wooden retreated to his home and continued to be a mentor to the many players who played for him at UCLA, notably, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Walton, Lucius Allen, Larry Farmer and countless others. His beloved wife Nell passed in 1985 and Coach fell into a deep funk. His children were deeply worried about the mental anguish the widowed Wooden was enduring with the passing of his wife after 53 years of marriage. Gradually he came out of it with the help of his family, friends, and players who visited with him regularly. One of those who saw Coach Wooden on a regular basis for home visits was his podiatrist, Dr. Michael Levi. Michael would come often to check on the now 80+ year old Coach Wooden and the two soon became more than just a doctor-patient relationship. They would often have breakfast together and talk about family, life, baseball, God, books and any other topic that Wooden found interesting… which was everything. Michael would return home and write down everything that had taken place upon his visit with Coach… and in 2016, 6 years after Coach Wooden was laid to rest at the age of 99, Levi published a book with the help of former L.A. times writer Larry Stewart called, “Wednesdays with Wooden.” Levi talks about how he went to a camp as a 6-year old and saw Wooden for the first time and how is father idolized the legendary Bruins coach. He tells us on the Past Our Prime podcast how he and Wooden became friends over their time together and how he was able to give his father the best birthday gift ever… lunch with Coach Wooden. Levi tells us about the depression that felled the Coach after the death of Nell and what brought him out of it and how the phone never stopped ringing at Coach Wooden's house with players calling to check up on him constantly throughout the day…. Every day… It's an intimate and personal look at the most successful college coach in NCAA history from a man who checked on Wooden's feet, and ended up getting a piece of his heart.
