I’m just now getting to the film of Texas O vs Tennessee, and I’m wondering how this backwards Saquon Barkley-esque hurdle by Raleek Brown didn’t go viral???
Final comment on #LadderGate2026:
There are people who (vigorously) think using that sermon illustration was wrong and have made that VERY PUBLICLY clear. What do I think about them?
"Some indeed preach Christ [without object lessons], but others [with them]... What then? Only that in every way, whether [without ladders or with them], Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice."
–– Philippians 1, edits obviously mine
Honestly, I praise God for *any* ministry bull-horning the true and saving gospel of Jesus Christ, pray that there is an open heavens above their pulpits, and count it an honor to be on Team Jesus with them in this (exciting) era.
Go Team Jesus, go.
Into the breach, together we win...
There's nothing quite like the atmosphere in Dallas for the @Allstate Red River Rivalry. The Cotton Bowl. Split down the middle. Everything on the line. Colin Simmons and Texas are ready.
A) If you listen to sermons (good) pastors are preaching to their people, I think you'll discover very quickly this isn't true at all.
B) You *have* heard more public comments from Christians at the societal / cultural level about it, because (as "crass" as the meme below can come across), this is generally how our culture has functioned for about ~15 years.
It is simply unfair to have a culture waterboard your family with various expressions of Queer Theory for two decades, but when you say anything about it, they go, "Whoa whoa whoa... why are YOU so focused on THIS issue!?!?!!?"
Simply put: We aren't. You are.
It's been in every classroom, TV show, movie, album, school library, marketing effort, HR Dept, professional sports season, June calendar, corporate training, legislative agenda (from one party), etc for ~20 years.
And we are sometimes forced to respond to that for the good of society, to disciple our people, and to parent our children.
Another game, and yet another monster performance from 5-star Texas commit Landen Williams-Callis. Oh, did we mention he also threw for a touchdown? 🤯
Full Story ⬇️

Texas RB commit Landen Williams-Callis went off for 6 TDs and over 250 rushing yards in front of Steve Sarkisian and Jabbar Juluke during Richmond Randle’s 78-0 win over South Houston @ontexasfootball
LWC’s first carry of the game was a 52-yard TD

Colin Simmons for Heisman?
7.5 sacks - leads the nation
9 TFL - leads the nation
5.5 sacks in ONE game - Texas record #10 in the On3 Heisman poll
No pure defender has EVER won it.
Is there a chance?
@CJVogel_OTF Same! lol my 6 year old daughter said “so did they win”
I said “yeah, it’s basically over. They are just going to run the clock out now.”
Boy was I wrong 😂😂😂
No active FBS quarterback not named Arch Manning has 4 wins over top 10 opponents since 2025
He has played in eight top 25 games, and is 6-2 with both losses on the road against No. 3 Ohio State and No. 5 Georgia

Watch the bait-and-switch:
A) When the Bible is used to advance a “conservative” cause, it’s “evil Christian Nationalism” (that he’s spent his entire campaign decrying) or it’s “forcing your religion on other people” and must be FORECEFULLY DENOUNCED.
But when the Bible is used to advance a progressive cause, aw shucks it’s just me being Christlike, “speaking truth to power”, and seeking “justice” or “compassion.”
His whole campaign is, ”Christian Nationalism for ME, but not for THEE” and hoping you won’t notice.
B) What progressives do is take the commands Jesus gave to INDIVIDUALS and apply them to the GOVERNMENT.
When Christians use words like “caring” or “generous” they mean caring for people and being generous with their own resources.
When progressives use the words “caring” and “generous”, they mean “vote for the government to forcibly take OTHER PEOPLE’S RESOURCES at gunpoint and redistribute it against their will.”
Of course, this *always* backfires because governments do not work like people and churches, so with governments you tends to get more of what you INCENTIVIZE and less of what you PENALIZE.
This is why cities and states that throw billions of $ at “solving homelessness” end up with MORE HOMELESSNESS, they do not “solve homelessness.”
This is a theology-nerd thing, but in general progressives want the government to do the roles of the church and individual (charity, compassion, care), and they want NOBODY to do the role of the State (administer justice and be a “terror to the wrongdoer”).
^^^this always results in societal chaos and darkness.
Further…
What Talarico (and other progressives) always do is selevtively edit Jesus, so that he becomes a mascot for their cause.
I can do a “when Jesus…” list too, but James won’t like mine…
- When Jesus defined marriage, he defined it as only between a man and a woman
- When Jesus talked about gender, he rooted it in biology, saying “he made them male and female”
- When Jesus talked about harming children (abortion), he said it would be better for you to have millstone tied around your neck and be cast into the ocean
- … that time when Jesus encouraged his followers to buy weapons for self-defense (Luke 22:36)
- Jesus’ family strictly obeyed the government’s border / migration / census laws.
- When Jesus talked about salvation, he said belief in him was the ONLY WAY
- When Jesus healed the sick, he didn’t need a deductible… there were no insurance companies in AD 30, and Jesus was using miraculous power, not paying doctors. This would be like an anti-vaxxer saying “JESUS WASNT VACCINATED!” as justification for their position)
- When Jesus fed the hungry, he FED THE HUNGRY. He did not vote for the government to forcibly take other people’s stuff at gunpoint and redistribute it against their will.
I could go on and on and on and on…
The point is, Jesus is a LORD of the universe, not a MASCOT for your cause.
@jdpickell Amen!
"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you."
The #Texas Defense since halftime of the Ohio State game (10 quarters):

Texas went 28 straight drives without allowing a TD before the late 4Q score by Tennessee.
