Got to hand it to Bill Maher. We may not agree on everything but thank God he is calling out the insanity. That takes moral courage & principles. And deserves respect.

@aztecs___1 In game one, I don’t let Ray pitch to Jackson with a runner on either. I pull him right there.

Shoutout to NBC forgoing some commercial time to give us this on the broadcast

I hope Fox is watching and recognizing how good a move that is…

@cessadelove1 Thank you for your daily prayers. I’m a new Christian and have a hard time coming up with what I want to say to God.

Matthew McConaughey's powerful insight: “Self-reliance and faith aren’t opposites—they’re teammates.”

He shares how his agnostic years forced him to stop excusing repeats of the same mistakes:
“Cut the s..., McConaughey. The buck stops here with you.”

He realized sin simply means “missing the mark” (an old archery term)—and he was tired of bad aim, even with grace waiting on Sunday.

Then came the breakthrough:
He heard God applauding the moment he took full responsibility:
“Thank you. I need more like you that go, ‘Yes, I’m responsible. My choices today have consequences tomorrow.’”

Faith doesn’t mean hands off the wheel.
It means gripping it tighter, knowing you’re designed with free will for a reason.

“Your hands are on the wheel. Where are you steering today?”

Watch the full 2:15 clip—it’s straight fire for anyone wrestling with accountability and belief.

What’s one area of your life where owning the wheel (self-reliance) and trusting the bigger plan (faith) finally clicked for you? Share below—this thread needs that energy.

I was in Bible college the week before 9/11.

Testimony service. Folding chairs. Fluorescent lights. Mandatory attendance.

Everyone expected the usual: clean stories, safe sins, spiritual résumés.

Then a tattooed giant walked to the front with his wife.

Former heroin addict. Former bouncer.
She’d worked the streets. Met him through her pimp.

Both of them gripping Bibles like flotation devices.

They sang. Badly.
Then he preached for five minutes.

No polish. No structure. No seminary cadence.

The hermeneutics professor winced.
The English teacher checked the clock.

But the altar filled.

Heaven moved while the educated missed it.

That moment never left me.

Because it exposed something most Christians don’t want to admit:

God does His best work in people who are still a mess.

That’s why Jelly Roll scares the industry.

Pills. Prison. Years burned down.

Then he grabbed the Grammy mic and said the one name you’re not supposed to say out loud if you want to keep a career.

“I love you, Lord.”

The crowd cheered.
The suits froze.

They always do.

Because God isn’t finished with him yet.

And unfinished people are dangerous.

Moses wasn’t Moses overnight.

He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew. Rage took over.
Looked left. Looked right. No witnesses.

So he killed him.
Buried the body in the sand.

Forty years later he’s still running when the bush burns. Still seeing blood on his hands.

“Who am I?” he asks.

God sends him anyway.

Not from murderer to hero.
From murderer to man still being worked on.

Paul didn’t become Paul overnight either.

Stephen preached. Rocks flew. Skulls cracked.
Coats piled at Saul’s feet while he approved.

Years later, after writing half your New Testament, he’s still begging God about a thorn.

God doesn’t say, “You’re finished.”

He says, “My grace is sufficient.”

Your Bible reeks of in-progress redemption.

Exodus doesn’t hide the murder.
Acts doesn’t hide the coats.

KJV. No polish. No PR team.

That tattooed couple went home after chapel.
Monday came. Cravings stayed. Memories stayed.

God stayed.

Jelly Roll will wake up tomorrow with the same demons and the same industry pressure to shut up.

God will still be working.

You’re not disqualified.
You’re under construction.

Same clay. Same Potter. Same wheel.

Build anyway. Fall anyway. Get up anyway.

@FarmGirlCarrie Amen

[Holy Bible @Holy__Bible1]

Lord God,
Please fill my heart with Your peace.
Calm my thoughts, quiet my fears, and remove all restlessness within me.
Let Your peace guard my mind and guide my actions.
Help me release anger, worry, and pain from the past.
Give me patience, understanding, and a gentle spirit.
May peace flow into my home, my relationships, and my future.
I place everything in Your hands and choose to trust You.

Amen 🙏

Jelly Roll just had an all-time Grammy acceptance speech
