"We're gonna do everything we can to make you happy." With the 2026-2027 NFL season upon us, Jeff Hafley, the new head coach of the Miami Dolphins, knows the expectations are high for him to lead a franchise that hasn't won a playoff game in a quarter of a century. Coach Hafley traces his rise from being a kid fixated on football (he asked for a mini whiteboard for Christmas!) to his college coaching career beginning by sleeping under his desk in the stadium at the University of Pittsburgh and surviving on peanut butter to becoming an NFL head coach. Coach Hafley makes it clear to Dan Le Batard and the many broken Dolphins' fans like him: he was made for the job and is someone who promises to outwork everyone and has the history of missed weddings, strained relationships, and years of choosing the job over everything else to prove it. He also explains why he walked away from being head coach at Boston College to return to the NFL (“I didn't like who I was becoming") and why he chose Miami over other teams.

It was December 28, 2022, a few days after Christmas, and Erbena Costa was beginning to get seriously worried about her daughter, 22-year-old Anna Laura Costa Porsborg. Before Christmas she had gone on leave and headed out on a vacation in Los Angeles with her boyfriend, 36-year-old Luis Gomes Akay. What started out in sunny Hollywood would end with a body in a suitcase.

Just days before Christmas in 2022, Natalie McNally was found murdered in her home in Lurgan, Northern Ireland. Fifteen weeks pregnant with her first child, her death devastated her family and stunned investigators. At first, Natalie's boyfriend, Stephen McCullagh, appeared to have an unbreakable alibi. While the murder was believed to have taken place, he seemed to be livestreaming a video game to thousands of viewers online. But as detectives dug deeper, digital forensic evidence revealed that the livestream had been carefully staged. In this episode of True Crime Recaps, we break down the investigation, the digital evidence that unraveled the deception, and how a meticulously planned alibi ultimately collapsed in court.

Welcome back, Roadies, to another episode of The Bourbon Road! Tonight hosts Jim Shannon and Todd are joined by a very special returning guest — Scott Page of My Bourbon Journey — for a deep dive into the world of cigar blend whiskeys. Scott brings nearly a decade of YouTube whiskey content and a genuine passion for the cigar and whiskey pairing lifestyle, making him the perfect companion for tonight's theme. The guys explore what "cigar blend" actually means in the modern whiskey landscape, from price-friendly everyday pours to high-proof cask-strength Canadian whiskeys, all while trading notes on what sticks, wrappers, and ring gauges might best complement each glass. On the Tasting Mat: - Wheel Horse Cigar Blend: A five-year Green River-sourced bourbon at 101 proof built on a mash bill of 70% corn, 21% rye, and 9% barley, finished for six to eight months in Port, Cognac, Sherry, and Armagnac casks. MSRP $45. The nose opens with dark jammy fruit, rich nuttiness, and a hint of Pedro Ximénez-style dried cherry sweetness. The palate matches the nose closely with a velvety texture, rye spice, and a satisfying oak backbone — all at a remarkably approachable price point. *(00:04:55)* - Barrel Cigar Blend: A blend of 7.5- to 18-year bourbons sourced from Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee, bottled at 111.2 proof and finished in Madeira, Rum, Armagnac, and Hungarian Oak casks. MSRP $85. The nose carries an intriguing minerality with pencil shavings and a bright citrus-and-dark-fruit combination. On the palate it is notably velvety and sticky with a Dr Pepper-like interplay of baking spice, cola, and dark fruit, closing on a long vanilla custard finish. *(00:16:39)* - Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend Batch 79: A blend of 11- to 18-year MGP Indiana bourbon finished in Armagnac, Sherry, and Cognac casks, bottled at 127 proof. Blended by master blender Nancy Fraley and dubbed "The Sweet One 2" in her signature poetic tasting notes. MSRP approximately $199. The nose is immediately rich with earthy Armagnac character, baking spice, and Christmas cookie sweetness. The palate delivers a seamless rush of fruit, oak, spice, orange icing, and nutmeg on a long, layered finish that rewards slow sipping. *(00:34:07)* - Copper & Cask Small Batch Series No. 15 Cigar Blend: A 21-year blended Canadian whiskey originally distilled and matured in Alberta, composed of 17 barrels and finished for approximately six months in Armagnac and Tawny Port casks before being bottled at cask strength — a towering 157.8 proof. MSRP approximately $80. The nose requires careful approach given the proof, but reveals cotton candy, strawberry, and a distinctive funky earthiness. The palate opens with spicy apple juice character, tropical fruit, ripe cheese-rind funkiness, and hints of cocoa powder and raisin on the extraordinarily long finish. *(00:43:43)* Whether you are a seasoned cigar lounge regular or simply curious about how wine and brandy finishes intersect with good bourbon, tonight's lineup offers something for every palate and wallet. Scott Page is a thoughtful and entertaining guest whose perspective on pairing tobacco and whiskey adds real depth to the conversation. Be sure to seek out his channel, My Bourbon Journey, on YouTube and Instagram, and tune in every Tuesday evening at 8 PM Eastern for his live streams. As always, thanks for riding with us — we will see you down the Bourbon Road.

Curious? Take The Free Money Stress Quiz!Ready? Buy Our Simplified Budget System Now!Budget besties, Coach Michelle is back—and she brought some seriously encouraging wins from Office Hours!In this episode, we're talking about what happens when you stop letting extra money “just disappear” and start giving every dollar a purpose. From preparing for a military move to paying off debt, filling savings buckets, and handling a flat tire without panic, these stories show how small, intentional steps can completely change the way money feels.One military family used automation, refunds, and careful planning to prepare for a move from Hawaii to Pennsylvania. Instead of relying on a credit card while waiting for reimbursements, they already had money set aside for hotels, meals, and other moving expenses.We also celebrate a budget bestie who used her tax refund to pay off a car, fund several savings buckets, and eliminate a credit card. Rather than putting the money into one general account and slowly watching it disappear, she divided it among specific goals—including Christmas and vehicle maintenance.And when another community member got a flat tire, her vehicle maintenance bucket did exactly what it was created to do. She walked into the tire shop, paid for the repair, and moved on without rearranging her entire monthly budget.That is the power of giving your money a job.Let's Take Our Relationship To The Next Level:1️⃣ Facebook Group ➡︎ budgetbesties.com/facebook2️⃣ Be on the Podcast ➡︎ budgetbesties.com/livecall3️⃣ Private 1-on-1 Coaching. ➡︎ budgetbesties.com/coachingThis podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not personal financial, legal, or tax advice.This description may contain affiliate links, meaning we may get a commission at no cost to you if you click & purchase.Click here to view our privacy policy.

“Know well the condition of your flocks, and give attention to your herds.” - Proverbs 27:23 Most of us no longer measure our wealth in flocks and herds, but the wisdom of Proverbs 27:23 remains just as relevant today: faithful stewardship requires attention. When we do not know what we have, where it is going, or what it is accomplishing, we cannot manage it wisely. That is where a budget can help. A budget is simply a plan for managing what God has entrusted to us. It is not intended to be a burden, a source of shame, or a rigid set of restrictions. It is a practical tool that helps us practice faithfulness. Begin With the Heart Biblical budgeting starts with the recognition that everything belongs to God. Our income, possessions, savings, spending, and giving have all been entrusted to our care. That means budgeting begins with a spiritual question before it becomes a financial exercise: Lord, how would You have me manage what You have provided? That question changes the purpose of a budget. We are not merely trying to make the numbers balance. We are asking whether our financial decisions reflect what we truly value. A budget can reveal where our money is drifting. Are our resources being absorbed by impulse, comfort, comparison, and accumulation? Or are they being directed toward generosity, provision, responsibility, and contentment? The goal is not simply greater financial control. It is greater faithfulness. Make Generosity Intentional Scripture never treats generosity as an afterthought. 2 Corinthians 9:7 says, “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” A budget allows us to give intentionally rather than reactively. Instead of waiting to see whether anything remains at the end of the month, we can prayerfully decide in advance how we want to support our church, ministries, neighbors, and others in need. Generosity should not be driven by guilt or compulsion. It should flow from gratitude for God's provision and a desire to participate in His work. Know Your True Income For those who receive a predictable paycheck, identifying monthly income may be relatively simple. A spending plan can be built around regular take-home pay. Variable income requires a little more care. Business owners, commission-based workers, freelancers, seasonal employees, and hourly workers may see their income fluctuate from month to month. In that situation, it is usually wise to build a budget around a conservative baseline. Review the previous six to 12 months and identify the lower-income periods. Then build your essential expenses around a realistic minimum—not your best month. When income is higher, decide beforehand how those additional dollars will be used. They might help you: Build savings Pay down debt Prepare for upcoming expenses Increase your generosity Without a plan, additional income can easily disappear into increased spending. With a plan, it can strengthen your financial foundation and expand your ability to serve others. Give Every Dollar a Job Giving every dollar a job does not mean spending every dollar. Saving is a job. Giving is a job. Paying bills is a job. Preparing for future expenses is a job. Your budget might include money for: Housing and utilities Food and transportation Debt repayment Emergency savings Retirement Insurance premiums Medical needs Car and home repairs School expenses Holidays and gifts The purpose is not unnecessary restriction. It is intentional direction. When every dollar has a purpose, your money is less likely to be consumed by whatever feels most urgent in the moment. Prepare for Irregular Expenses Many budgets fail because they account only for monthly bills. But real life includes expenses that do not arrive every month. Car maintenance, home repairs, annual subscriptions, insurance premiums, travel, gifts, school costs, medical expenses, and Christmas can all place pressure on a spending plan. These expenses are not true emergencies when we know they are coming. A wise budget sets aside smaller amounts throughout the year. Saving a little each month can turn a large, disruptive expense into a manageable one. Planning ahead does not mean we can predict everything. It simply means we prepare for what we reasonably can and trust God with what we cannot foresee. Build Financial Margin Margin is the space between what comes in and what goes out. Without margin, even a relatively small disruption can create stress or lead to additional debt. With margin, we are better prepared to respond wisely when needs and opportunities arise. Margin also makes generosity possible. Ephesians 4:28 instructs believers to work honestly so that they “may have something to share with anyone in need.” Budgeting helps create that kind of readiness. The goal is not to accumulate excess merely for our own comfort. It is to manage resources in a way that allows us to provide responsibly, respond compassionately, and give freely. Review and Adjust Regularly A budget is not a document you create once and then ignore. It should be reviewed and adjusted as circumstances change. Some months will require different priorities. Certain categories may prove unrealistic. Income may rise or fall. Unexpected needs may emerge. The goal is not perfection. The goal is faithfulness. For married couples, regular budget conversations can also create greater unity. Rather than allowing money to become a source of confusion or conflict, spouses can pray together, clarify their priorities, and make decisions as a team. A regular review gives you an opportunity to ask: How has God provided? Are we living within our means? Do our spending decisions reflect our values? Are we preparing wisely for the future? Is there room to grow in generosity? How Budgeting Shapes Us Budgeting is about far more than numbers. It can become part of our spiritual formation. It teaches us to recognize God's provision. It trains us to say no to one thing for the sake of a greater yes. It helps us practice contentment in a culture of comparison. It creates a framework for generosity before money is absorbed by lesser priorities. A budget cannot guarantee that life will go according to plan. But it can help us respond to God's provision with wisdom, gratitude, and purpose.

Should I be classified as a household employee or an independent contractor, and how would the IRS view that arrangement? I have a federal student loan with significant accrued interest. Do I need to pay off that interest before my payments begin reducing the principal? I've also been advised to refinance through a private lender. Should I keep the loan federal or convert it to a personal loan? I'm considering selling a mortgage-free multi-unit property worth about $700,000 to $800,000 and using the proceeds to buy two rental homes for around $250,000 each. What tax, financing, or ownership issues should I consider before making that move? My husband and I are debt-free, live within our means, and expect to receive an inheritance. We want to plan wisely for retirement, investing, Social Security, Medicare, our family, and generosity, but we struggle with analysis paralysis.

We pray that by God's grace, and with your support, we can continue to bring relief to the suffering and hope to the hopeless.   Report on Food For the Poor by Charity Navigator https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/592174510   -------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer from ACU.

On a cold December morning in 1929, the Lawson family gathered on their farm outside Germanton, North Carolina, surrounded by the familiar rhythms of rural life. Christmas had arrived with the promise of family, faith, and a brief respite from the hardships of farm work. Only weeks earlier, Charlie Lawson had done something few families in the area could afford—he purchased new clothes, bought Christmas gifts, and arranged for a professional family portrait. It was a picture that captured an ordinary American family at what appeared to be the happiest moment of their lives. Within hours on Christmas Day, however, that photograph would become one of the most haunting images in American history, and the quiet Lawson farm would become the center of a mystery that has endured for nearly a century.*correction: James is identified as being 16 years old, when he was really only 4.

What if the worst career news you've ever received turned out to be the push you needed to build the career you actually deserve? Today's guest took an unexpected layoff right before the holidays and turned it into the flexible, fulfilling private practice she never knew she wanted. I can't wait for you to hear her story!I'm thrilled to introduce you to Megan Jimeno, a seasoned Speech-Language Pathologist with 23 years of clinical expertise spanning both adult and pediatric populations. She is the owner and founder of Winsome Speech, a mobile private practice based in Spokane, Washington.Megan's journey hasn't been a straight line. She started in inpatient rehab and skilled nursing, where she fell in love with giving a voice to those often lost in the system—but she hated the productivity demands and the "machine" of Medicare. She eventually switched to pediatrics and spent nine years at a small clinic, building deep relationships with families and even creating an in-school program that served kids during the school day.Then, just two weeks before Christmas in 2025, everything changed. She received an email letting her know the clinic was closing its doors by February. With a daughter at home, a father-in-law to care for, and a caseload of kids she didn't want to abandon, Megan had a choice: find another employer who would fit her strict schedule, or bet on herself and start her own practice.In March of 2026, after the unexpected closure of the clinic she had been with for 9 years, she took a leap of faith to launch her own mobile practice, bringing specialized therapy directly to children in homes, private schools, and daycares.In this episode, Megan discusses how she navigated the terrifying leap into business ownership even though she'll be the first to tell you she is no expert in business and is figuring it out as she goes.Outside of patient care, Megan is a mom, a caretaker, and an advocate for believing in yourself, even when the path feels impossible.In Today's Episode, We Discuss:What to do when you're forced into private practice and have no time to overthink itThe power of staying mobile and using a “cloffice” to keep expenses lowHow she strategically balances private pay and insurance-based clients while protecting her flexibilityMegan is truly proof that you don't need to have a decade-long dream or a business background to build a successful practice. Sometimes, the best thing you can do is take a deep breath, look at what you've created, and say: "Wow. This is mine. I did that."If you're ready to stop waiting and start building a practice that's truly aligned with your goals, Private Practice School is here to help. We start with a Personalized Private Practice Plan and then give you the tools, such as the Life First calendar and our Numbers Made Simple Calculators, and me in your corner every week, whether you're opening the doors or growing what you've already built.Please visit www.PrivatePracticeSchool.com to learn more, and follow me on Instagram @independentclinician for more tips, inspiration, and resources to support your private practice journey.Resources Mentioned:Follow Megan on:Facebook: facebook.com/share/1DnHTeFwjc/Instagram: instagram.com/winsomespeech/Check out her website: winsomespeech.comWhere We Can Connect:Follow the Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/private-practice-success-stories/id1374716199Follow Me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/independentclinician/Follow Me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jena.castrocasbon/

There were two days to Christmas and Lewis felt like everything was spinning out of control. He wondered what he would say to the judge this time. His client, Rikihana, was already on multiple shoplifting charges. What's a few more? Lewis thought. These supermarkets were still making a killing. It's late 2020. Rikihana Wallace, a prolific shoplifter of no fixed abode, is back in prison with little chance of bail. Nathan Morley, unemployed, is facing burglary charges and hoping his other, as yet undetected, offences don't catch up with him. Lewis Skerrett, their overstretched legal aid lawyer, is trying to do right by them both. The culmination of over two years of field research and hundreds of hours of interviews, The Valley: Crime and Punishment in a New Zealand City (Bridget Williams Books, 2026) follows these three Hutt Valley men through courtrooms, prison, hospital, rehab, boarding houses and welfare offices. Told largely in verbatim dialogue, this up-close and personal account brings the realities of the New Zealand criminal justice system to life through the voices of those who experience it first-hand. Watch the book trailer here  Asher Emanuel is a writer and lawyer based in Wellington. His exposure to the criminal justice system began when he was a judges' clerk at the Wellington High Court after graduating from law school in 2015. He later worked as an investigator for the Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security and, as a lawyer, has assisted several government inquiries. His writing on justice and policy issues has appeared in The Spinoff, the New Zealand Herald, and specialist publications, and he is a former editor of Policy.nz, an election policy website. He began work on his first book, The Valley, in 2018 supported by grants from the Michael & Suzanne Borrin Foundation. Asher now works as a civil legal aid lawyer focusing on public law and human rights cases. He is a longstanding member of the executive of the Aotearoa Legal Workers' Union. Asher grew up in Auckland before moving to Wellington where he studied law and English literature. Ed Amon has a Master of Indigenous Studies and is a PhD Candidate at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. He is a writer and a Stand-up Comedian.

Episode 122 Pulpit and the Pyre: The Murder of Dawn Hacheney – Part 1 When a house fire claims the life of Dawn Hacheney the day after Christmas 1997, investigators initially conclude it was a tragic accident. A bedroom filled with Christmas gifts, portable propane cylinders, a space heater, and an elevated level of Benadryl appear to support a devastating—but explainable—chain of events. But as a fire protection engineer, April isn't content to stop at the official explanation. In Part One of this new series, we examine the fire scene, the science behind the original accidental-fire theory, and the unusual beliefs of the charismatic church community surrounding Dawn and her husband, youth pastor Nick Hacheney. Along the way, we explore authority, discernment, and how deeply held beliefs can shape the way people interpret tragedy. Five years would pass before everything investigators thought they knew about Dawn's death would be turned upside down.

Joey figured out why he was so loopy Friday. After fasting for labs, drinking black coffee, and accidentally mixing two medications that cause drowsiness, he was so out of it his in-laws made him ride home instead of driving himself. Nancy spent most of church trying not to laugh after her son accidentally farted on a wooden pew right before the sermon. Karly celebrated Shark Week with a trip to the Georgia Aquarium to see a whale shark. The show reacted to Martha Reeves’ national anthem performance at a women’s professional baseball game. People online have ranked it as one of the worst performances ever. The Monday Morning Wake-Up Call featured Calvin’s first day of high school. He wasn't thrilled to be awakened by Joey and Nancy and reminded everyone he still had “20 minutes of sleep left.” Joey and Karly compared notes on The Odyssey. Karly loved seeing it in IMAX 70mm in Chattanooga, while Joey thought some of the modern dialogue felt out of place in an ancient Greek story. Hot Tea: Bunnie XO bought a Los Angeles home, Spider-Man: Brand New Day had a massive opening weekend, and a New Jersey police officer dressed as a bush helped issue 74 distracted-driving tickets. Nancy’s tax-free weekend shopping trip got way out of hand thanks to extra sales. What started as a back-to-school run turned into a major spending spree and early Christmas shopping. The show talked about recalled rechargeable hand warmers, and Nancy realized she had bought the recalled model for her son a while back. Joey brought up how a product he used for his son's was later recalled. Lucky 7 for $50 to Farmacy Restaurant Karly witnessed a rare public Joey meltdown while he was trying to find his son’s drama camp performance, which was later blamed on the medication-and-fasting combination. Nancy volunteered as a third-base coach for her son’s softball team and is convinced she caused a player’s hamstring injury after enthusiastically sending him home to score.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260803dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good. His love endures forever. Psalm 136:1 His Love Endures Forever Many, if not most, psalms in the Bible were designed to be sung or spoken antiphonally—that is, the first half of each verse is sung by a leader or choir followed by the congregation responding with the second half. If you open your Bible to Psalm 136, you’ll notice that the second half of each of the 26 verses is exactly the same: “His love endures forever.” The entire psalm encourages us to give thanks to the Lord, the one true God, who powerfully created all things and who mercifully provides for his people. And with every mention of the Lord’s many mighty acts, the people interject the refrain: “His love endures forever.” And it’s not just in this psalm. The first time this phrase is found in the Bible is in 1 Chronicles 16, when King David is bringing the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem. The people sang and praised God with a psalm that included these same words. “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.” A generation later, in 2 Chronicles 5, when King Solomon completed construction of the temple, a great number of musicians played while the choir sang praise to the Lord: “He is good; his love endures forever.” Someone might ask, “Why the repetition?” But consider why it is that we repeat anything. Usually, because it’s important or because we keep forgetting it—or in this case, both. The Hebrew word translated as love here calls to mind God’s loyalty and grace in dealing with us. Despite our frequent ingratitude and lack of love for God, he is unwaveringly devoted to his love for us, simply because of who he is. In everything he does—starting with the creation of the world, all the way through human history, right down to the way he watches over and provides for us today—God does it out of his commitment to love us. His promise of grace finds its fulfillment in his own Son, Jesus Christ, who came to save us from certain death by taking our punishment upon himself. It is truly a love that endures forever! Prayer: Lord God, you have been good to me in so many ways. Let me never forget your grace but always give you thanks, for your love endures forever. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

Joey figured out why he was so loopy Friday. After fasting for labs, drinking black coffee, and accidentally mixing two medications that cause drowsiness, he was so out of it his in-laws made him ride home instead of driving himself. Nancy spent most of church trying not to laugh after her son accidentally farted on a wooden pew right before the sermon. Karly celebrated Shark Week with a trip to the Georgia Aquarium to see a whale shark. The show reacted to Martha Reeves’ national anthem performance at a women’s professional baseball game. People online have ranked it as one of the worst performances ever. The Monday Morning Wake-Up Call featured Calvin’s first day of high school. He wasn't thrilled to be awakened by Joey and Nancy and reminded everyone he still had “20 minutes of sleep left.” Joey and Karly compared notes on The Odyssey. Karly loved seeing it in IMAX 70mm in Chattanooga, while Joey thought some of the modern dialogue felt out of place in an ancient Greek story. Hot Tea: Bunnie XO bought a Los Angeles home, Spider-Man: Brand New Day had a massive opening weekend, and a New Jersey police officer dressed as a bush helped issue 74 distracted-driving tickets. Nancy’s tax-free weekend shopping trip got way out of hand thanks to extra sales. What started as a back-to-school run turned into a major spending spree and early Christmas shopping. The show talked about recalled rechargeable hand warmers, and Nancy realized she had bought the recalled model for her son a while back. Joey brought up how a product he used for his son's was later recalled. Lucky 7 for $50 to Farmacy Restaurant Karly witnessed a rare public Joey meltdown while he was trying to find his son’s drama camp performance, which was later blamed on the medication-and-fasting combination. Nancy volunteered as a third-base coach for her son’s softball team and is convinced she caused a player’s hamstring injury after enthusiastically sending him home to score.

There were two days to Christmas and Lewis felt like everything was spinning out of control. He wondered what he would say to the judge this time. His client, Rikihana, was already on multiple shoplifting charges. What's a few more? Lewis thought. These supermarkets were still making a killing. It's late 2020. Rikihana Wallace, a prolific shoplifter of no fixed abode, is back in prison with little chance of bail. Nathan Morley, unemployed, is facing burglary charges and hoping his other, as yet undetected, offences don't catch up with him. Lewis Skerrett, their overstretched legal aid lawyer, is trying to do right by them both. The culmination of over two years of field research and hundreds of hours of interviews, The Valley: Crime and Punishment in a New Zealand City (Bridget Williams Books, 2026) follows these three Hutt Valley men through courtrooms, prison, hospital, rehab, boarding houses and welfare offices. Told largely in verbatim dialogue, this up-close and personal account brings the realities of the New Zealand criminal justice system to life through the voices of those who experience it first-hand. Watch the book trailer here  Asher Emanuel is a writer and lawyer based in Wellington. His exposure to the criminal justice system began when he was a judges' clerk at the Wellington High Court after graduating from law school in 2015. He later worked as an investigator for the Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security and, as a lawyer, has assisted several government inquiries. His writing on justice and policy issues has appeared in The Spinoff, the New Zealand Herald, and specialist publications, and he is a former editor of Policy.nz, an election policy website. He began work on his first book, The Valley, in 2018 supported by grants from the Michael & Suzanne Borrin Foundation. Asher now works as a civil legal aid lawyer focusing on public law and human rights cases. He is a longstanding member of the executive of the Aotearoa Legal Workers' Union. Asher grew up in Auckland before moving to Wellington where he studied law and English literature. Ed Amon has a Master of Indigenous Studies and is a PhD Candidate at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. He is a writer and a Stand-up Comedian.

This podcast didn't start as a place to dissect lawsuits and corporate policy, it started as a place for consumers to be heard. We built a community of people who actually give a damn about what happens to buyers and sellers, but somewhere along the way we got a little too deep in the weeds of the industry-wide stuff. So, we're going back to where this started: real people, real stories, and no filter on what we say about it. Today's story is a doozey that it actually had to be seperated into two parts.This buyer and her husband did everything a buyer is told to do. They'd already walked away from one deal over inspection concerns, so the second time, they were careful, they interviewed multiple agents, chose a big-name brokerage, and got a written guarantee that if anything catastrophic turned up in the first year, they broker would buy the home back. The inspection report that cleared the sale checked "satisfactory" next to the roof, the electrical, the plumbing. But after closing, that all fell apart and the advice they were given landed them in a home that is no longer insurable.In part one of this two-part story, we walk through how they found this house, the promise that sealed the deal, closing day under pressure two weeks before Christmas, and the slow unraveling that followed with rotted subfloor hidden under vinyl flooring, wiring nobody flagged, a roof multiple contractors say needs full replacement, oh, and a homeless person was discovered living underneath their home. Despite all that has gone wrong, this couple has been patient, kind, and communicative with all parties involved to figure out what to do with a home that now costs more to fix than to just buy a new home.  Part two picks up next week with what happened when they asked the people who made those promises to actually keep them. Their experience is a cautionary tale on trusting your gut, getting stuff in writing and why keeping notes and saving all your paperwork comes in handy.Sarah's TiktokJoin our loud community of providers who give a damnGot a question?Support the showState laws and regulations may vary.Have a story you would like to share with other sellers or buyers?Hit us up here.

To her New Jersey community, Marylue Wigglesworth was seemingly a quiet, devoted wife living a seemingly ordinary suburban life. On a December night in 2022, a heated violent argument spiraled out of control, leaving her husband, David, dead from a single gunshot wound as he lay naked in their bed. Beneath the facade of their marriage lay a toxic dynamic of domestic turmoil, raising the haunting question of whether she was a calculated killer or a victim pushed past her limit.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260802dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, [Jesus] gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children. Matthew 14:19-21 With Jesus There is Always More With Jesus, there is always more. More than five thousand people were fed with just five loaves and two fish. And there was more food left over than they had at the beginning. This miracle is a big deal. Other than Jesus’ resurrection from the dead, it’s the only miracle recorded in all four gospels. The repetition means Jesus really wants us to know about it. Why? Jesus teaches us to pray, “Give us this day our daily bread” (Matthew 6:11). In other words, Christians are to trust God to provide. And what Jesus teaches, he demonstrates by feeding the five thousand. He takes care of us and provides everything we need. This is a simple lesson to learn, but it is difficult to believe. Your sinful nature wants you to think that you take care of yourself. The devil does not want you to trust God. He wants you to trust yourself and say, “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me” (Deuteronomy 8:17). But is that true? Who gives you time to work? Who gives you the strength to work? Who gives you the skills to work? “Remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth” (Deuteronomy 8:18). Jesus doesn’t work miracles to flaunt his power. He works miracles to show that he is God Almighty in human flesh. Jesus gives health and wealth because that is what Jesus does—he gives. He provides his life, death, and resurrection for your salvation. If he can do that, he can do something as simple as provide daily bread. Because with Jesus, there is always more. Jesus’ compassion for you knows no bounds. No need is too impossible for Christ to meet. No sin is too big for Jesus to forgive. You can trust him with anything and everything! Prayer: Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his mercy endures forever. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.
