"There is no other explanation for what I saw and experienced. When we landed back on earth, I saw the cross and just wept."

HALLELUJAH!

[DK🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸 @1Nicdar]

130 schools said no.
He led the losingest program in college football history to a national championship anyway.
Fernando Mendoza was a 2-star recruit from Miami.

He tried to walk on at his hometown school. They passed.
So did FIU.
So did FAU.
So did everyone else.

At 17, he was sitting in his bedroom, crying over a silent recruiting inbox—after driving to 18 camps with his dad and sending highlights to more than 100 programs.
Not one FBS offer.
His only option? Yale. No scholarship. No NFL path.

Everyone told him to be “realistic.”
“Know your place.”
“Be grateful.”
He didn’t listen.
Because Mendoza understood something most people miss:
The worst outcome isn’t failing.
It’s never getting the chance to try.

Two weeks before signing day in 2022, his phone rang.
Cal needed a body. One offer. Out of 134 schools.
He took it.
He arrived as the third-string quarterback.
Spent a year on the scout team.
Lost his first four starts.
Got sacked 41 times behind a broken offensive line.

Still got up. Every time.
Then Cal brought in a transfer instead of building around him.
So Mendoza left the only school that had ever said yes.
He transferred to Indiana—the losingest program in college football history.

People laughed.
“Career suicide.”
“Graveyard program.”
“Nobody wins there.”
One coach told him something different:
“I’m going to make you the best Fernando Mendoza possible.”
That was enough.
Mendoza wasn’t just playing for football.
His mother has battled multiple sclerosis for 18 years.

Before every snap, he thought of her.
“My mother is my why.”
Indiana went 16–0.
Beat six Top-10 teams.
Won their first Big Ten title since 1945.
Mendoza threw 41 touchdowns.
Won the Heisman—first in school history.
First Cuban-American to ever do it.

Then came the title game.
Miami. Near his hometown.
Fourth-and-4. Season on the line.
Quarterback draw.
The kid 134 schools rejected spun through defenders and dove into the end zone.

Game over.
Indiana—national champions.
The losingest program became the best team in America.
All because a 17-year-old refused to believe “no” was the end.

Rankings don’t decide your ceiling.
Gatekeepers don’t write your ending.
Being overlooked isn’t a verdict—it’s a starting point.

Sometimes all you need is one shot…
and the courage to bet on yourself when nobody else will.
Don’t quit.

Andrew Huberman shared something beautiful with Theo Von:
“I’m a scientist… and I pray every day. On my knees. Morning, night, even quietly in the bathroom before coming here.”

He talked about how reading the Bible and learning animals can see light we can’t (UV, infrared) made faith feel natural—not separate from science, but part of what makes it all more wondrous.

Theo smiled: “Sometimes an idea comes through and I think… that wasn’t just me. I’m just trying to be a good antenna.”

This 2-minute moment is gentle, honest, and deeply human.
If you’ve ever felt there might be more to life than what we can measure—this one’s for you.

🚨Please take just two minutes to read Dave Ramsey’s powerful warning about a cashless society. No one has explained the stakes more clearly.

Younger generations — this is especially for you.

A truly cashless society means **zero cash**. Not “mostly digital with a little cash on the side.” It means fully digital, fully traceable, and fully controlled. Many who support going cashless don’t realize what they’re actually asking for.

In a cashless world:
- If you’re short on the mortgage this month, you can’t pick up an odd job under the table to get by.
- Your kid can’t earn pocket money helping a neighbor or the local farmer.
- No more slipping a $20 into a birthday card or a grandchild’s hand “for luck.”
- No more piggy banks where kids learn the value of saving and earning.
- No more secret rainy-day fund or quietly putting aside $20 a week for something special.
- No more small side gigs when your paycheck barely covers the bills.
- No more garage sales or selling old stuff for quick cash.
- No more spontaneous acts of private generosity.

What a cashless society **does** guarantee:
- Every cent you own is controlled and monitored by banks and payment processors.
- Every single transaction is permanently recorded and traceable.
- Your money can be frozen or restricted at any moment — for “suspicious activity,” policy violations, or just because an algorithm flagged you.
- Governments and corporations will know exactly where, when, and how you spend every dollar.
- If the powers-that-be decide you’re buying the “wrong” things, they can simply block the transaction.
- Private, anonymous giving becomes impossible.

Don’t fall for the “cash is dirty” excuse. Cash and cards carry the same germs. The push against cash has nothing to do with hygiene and everything to do with control.

Cash has been king for thousands of years because it gives **you** freedom and privacy in your daily transactions. It’s legal tender — your right to use it.

So here’s the simple action step:
- When you can, pay with cash.
- If you own a business, stop shaming customers who want to use cash. Tear down the “card only” signs.

This isn’t about being old-fashioned. It’s about preserving the last remaining space for financial freedom, privacy, and independence.

We still have a choice — but not for long.

Something special is happening inside the hearts of @TCUFootball families.

Before the stands fill and before the players take the field, families gather together not to talk football, but to pray.

Led by the parents of @TCU quarterback Josh Hoover, they call out every player by name, one by one, covering them in prayer.

What started as a small moment of faith has now become something powerful. At home games and on the road, families gather to lift up this team.

I watched it happen in North Carolina over 200 people forming a prayer circle outside the stadium. Even UNC fans joined in.

This past Saturday, more than 300 family members came together again. Not just praying for performance, but for hearts. For character. For their love of Jesus.

This is more than a pregame ritual. It’s a picture of God’s Kingdom people standing shoulder to shoulder, united not by labels, but by love and faith.

In a world that’s divided, this is what unity looks like. This is what hope looks like.

I love what God is doing through the Carter Boys Prayer Huddle and the @TCUFCA ministry.

Brains are very susceptible. Steer yours properly. View the sunrise, thank God for another day living and then go get meaningful things done. Trolls and drama are there to test your focus. Happy Friday!

🚨NEW: Stephen A. Smith *PRAISES* New York Yankees for honoring Charlie Kirk🚨

"Props to the New York Yankees organization last night for having a moment of silence."

"We're not supposed to condone stuff like this. We're not supposed to say it's okay. I don't give a d*mn who you are — black, white or anything in between!"

"I hope the FBI and law enforcement catch this individual — and do what needs to be done with him."

🚨NEW: Stephen A. Smith *EXCORIATES* "PEOPLE CELEBRATING" Charlie Kirk Assassination🚨

"I don't care what his political beliefs were! I don't care what he felt! I care about the fact that a man was gunned down in front of 2 of his children who are 5 years of age or less. That he's dead at the age of 31. That his wife is a widow. That his children are fatherless because his ideas and his beliefs differed from somebody else, apparently."

"And then I'm going online and I'm seeing people celebrating it! Shame! Shame on you!"

The first ever Faith and Family Night.

The Texas Rangers shared a space with fans after the game to share their testimony of how Jesus saved and changed their life.

Such an incredible experience for fans to hear personal stories of how the Lord uses them on and off the field.

A Q&A was a part of the evening and fans even got to ask the players advice of walking with the Lord.

Such a great Sunday at Globe Life Field 🙏
