God called these young women to singleness, "for now." They're not wandering around California trying to find themselves.

So, what are they doing? Here's another young ladies panel on hearing the call, preparing for the call, and following through on the call of God on their lives. This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Fourth Circuit upholds WV ban on abortion kill pill, Christian non-profit victorious over ChatGPT, Church of England affirms sexual perversion for clergy … again) 2.

Arizona State's recruiting should be doing far better than its current commitment list after coming off a College Football Playoff run. Why are the Sun Devils residing at No. 40 in 247 Sports recruiting rankings?While Jake Fette is a top-notch quarterback, and ASU possesses quality recruits, there are not enough elite prospects committed. Plus, ASU does not have a single one of Arizona's top-10 recruits committed. It's puzzling.The good news, Arizona State's 2025 season could be special once again. Perhaps more success this fall translates to a late recruiting run.On X @LO_ThePortalTikTok @lockedontheportalSupport us by supporting our sponsors!GametimeToday's episode is brought to you by Gametime.

In a recent candid conversation on 'The Valley Today,' host Janet Michael sat down with Chris Rucker, Chief Administrative Officer for Valley Health, to dissect the aftermath of recently passed legislation that could drastically alter healthcare dynamics in the community. The dialogue spanned a gamut of pressing concerns, from potential Medicaid and SNAP benefit cuts to the broader implications for the community's general well-being. To set the stage, Janet recapped the initial context of their prior discussion, which took place before the legislation had passed. Chris, anticipating widespread effects, emphasized concerns about continuing to meet the healthcare needs of the half-million people served by Valley Health's six hospitals and various clinics. Acknowledging the legislative passage, Chris explained that many regulatory details still need to be ironed out, from work requirements necessitating biannual employment proof to practical challenges for residents in rural areas like Romney, WV. A crucial point of Janet's inquiries revolved around the perceived immediacy of the bill's impact. Chris clarified that although the changes would phase in gradually, the community wouldn't see an overnight transformation. He stressed the importance of preparing thoughtfully for these eventual shifts rather than making hasty decisions. The conversation turned to the multi-faceted implications of healthcare funding cuts. Janet highlighted Valley Health's holistic approach, which not only addresses clinical care but also the social determinants of health, including adequate nutrition from SNAP benefits. Chris expanded on this perspective, linking reduced healthcare access to broader economic ramifications, from loss of construction jobs to the trickling down effects impacting local businesses. Janet's questions reflected community anxiety, particularly regarding potential hospital closures. Chris reassured listeners that while Valley Health remains committed to its mission, drastic measures like hospital closures are not on the immediate horizon. The emphasis, he said, was on adapting and finding sustainable ways to continue delivering care. Their discussion also illuminated the cascading effects of reduced Medicaid benefits on local employment and overall community health. For instance, Janet depicted a scenario in which a single mother, unable to access quick medical care, might miss multiple workdays, thereby affecting her income and ability to afford basic needs. In wrapping up on a hopeful note, Chris assured listeners of Valley Health's unwavering commitment to the community, backed by strategic foresight and operational resilience. Despite looming challenges, he reminded everyone of the ongoing, everyday successes, like the birth of healthy babies at the medical center. Janet concluded the session by urging the community to engage with their elected officials and local nonprofits, advocating for sustained healthcare access and support mechanisms. Their voices, she affirmed, remain potent tools in navigating these complex times.

The Drive with Paul Swann for Thursday, July 10, 2025 

Host: Carol MacAllister Description: This Podcast is a repeat from June, 2023. Joel Schock, WV Grounds Manager, tells us about WV's Green Master Plan. That means how WV plans to create areas in our highly manicured landscape that will nurture pollinator habitats, sequester more carbon, and promote natural fauna for our Central Pennsylvania environment. Water gardens, wildflower gardens, and the culling of invasive species are all in the plans. Joel has welcomed the input of WV residents, many of whom are Master Gardeners, while balancing our organizational branding as exquisitely maintained properties. This versatile, highly experienced man is the right man for this complex job. This is an opportunity to review Phase I of the Green Master Plan, as Joel will update us on July 8, 2025, on the progress and challenges of WV's efforts to support Mother Nature.

Texas Tech's massive NIL spending will be hitting a brick wall on August 1 when the NIL Clearinghouse, using software referred to as NIL Go, sees how the Red Raiders are structuring NIL deals for football recruits. They are not alone, mind you, but are a great case study and baseline to explain why during this podcast. While a complex overall issue, it will be defined in layman's terms and done so quickly.Auburn has been one of the schools taking a different approach with the new NIL rules. The opposite approach and the one the NCAA intended. Now, will the NCAA enforce its proposed policies, or will schools sticking to the rulebook have to adjust and do NIL deals like those skirting the rules?On X @LO_ThePortalTikTok @lockedontheportalSupport us by supporting our sponsors!GametimeToday's episode is brought to you by Gametime.

The Drive with Paul Swann for Tuesday, July 8, 2025 

This week, all the Creeps traveled out to eat great Mexican food on the 4th of July, and we went to Las Matracas. Located at 479 Emily Dr. Clarksburg, WV next to Denny's, in the lovely comfortable hangout spot that was formerly Las Trancas. Open Mon-Fri 11:00 AM-10:00 PM, Sat 11:00 AM-10:30 PM, Sun 11:00 AM-9:00 PM. Here's what we tried:Queso, guacamole, and salsa with our chips. Piña Loca (A pineapple half stuffed with chicken, onion, peppers & tomatoes with melted cheese on top), sizzling chicken fajitas with tortillas, arroz con pollo, shredded beef chimichangas. Completed the meal perfectly by sharing spectacular sopapillas.Then, Matt covers the odd story of Jawed Wassel, an Afghan-American filmmaker who was brutally stabbed to death then dismembered. This occurred after an earnings dispute with producer Nathan Powell in October of 2001. All the events that happen after this are truly wild.Also, the Creeps talk about birthday celebrating, languaging, cilantro, death by sugar, and last minute changes of plans.

The 2025 college football season represents a landmark year for the Big Ten as it embarks on its first full 18‑team campaign without divisions, blending traditional powerhouses and fresh contenders. Ohio State enters as reigning national champions and favorites to repeat, with a loaded roster and high expectations under quarterback Julian Sayin. Penn State, led by Drew Allar and dynamic backs Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen, looks poised to challenge for the title after finishing strong in 2024. Oregon aims to defend its conference crown, returning stars like Dante Moore and Matayo Uiagalelei. Michigan, fresh off a bowl win and reloaded with five-star QB Bryce Underwood, remains in the national conversation but enters 2025 with more questions than answers under Sherrone Moore. Beyond the top-tier contenders, programs like Illinois and Indiana are gaining momentum, while USC, Nebraska, and Wisconsin look to find consistency in a hyper-competitive field. In this preview, we break down team-by-team outlooks, preseason rankings, title odds, and key matchups—plus our favorite sleeper picks and futures bets heading into Week 1. New to FanDuel Sportsbook?

Today on The Drive with Paul Swann: Mountain East Conference Commissioner Reid Amos joins the show to discuss the league's expansion into Ohio with the addition of Shawnee State as its twelfth member.

Notre Dame added three wide receiver recruits – Brayden Robinson, Devin Fitzgerald and Kaydon Finley – from Friday through Sunday. Combined, Notre Dame has five wide receiver commitments, a position it needed more talent and numbers. It's more than numbers, as defined during this podcast.The Fighting Irish reached a commitment total of 25, with top prospects still on the board.
