Trump best-golfing president ever trump 100 days wins keystone pipeline Gorsuch on the court Justin thinks Gorsuch is no more conservative than Merrick Garland is liberal. Matt disagrees.

Stew Armstrong, Lou Rodriguez, and Paul Eason of Encounter Church join me to discuss what has been going on since last year's purchase of Hammerheads bar on Main Street in downtown Evansville.
They answer the following questions:
How long do they anticipate it taking before the basement stops smelling like beer? And if the answer is that the beer smell is already gone, I'd like to know their secrets. Asking for a fraternity adviser...
Was it more of a challenge than you expected with the needed changes?
Are you still getting the negative backlash for buying Hammerheads from both sides of the aisle? "But it was a bar!" or "Oh no! My favorite music venue!"
How's the elevator holding up?
How do you balance renovating a building with helping the community?
With the ability to listen/watch sermons online from all over the world, what is the benefit to meeting in a physical place?
So many new coffee shops downtown, is the plan for the building still to have a coffee shop?
We are in a politically charged time. How, as a church, do you cross those boundaries that usually divide people?
Where do you see Encounter church in 5 - 10 years?

In this episode, Matt and Justin welcome Lead Anchor of Eyewitness News, Brad Byrd, to the show. Before speaking with Brad, Justin and Matt discuss the recent Evansville Podcast Network award, the IU coaching change, the new ambassador to Russia, and Ben Carson's thoughts on immigration.
In their talk with Mr. Byrd, Brad touches on his history of being in the area, starting, why he hasn't left, the changing landscape of news in the area - multitasking is an issue, the importance of being first vs being right. "fake news" having been around for a while, tell the truth, asking the right questions, and get it right, fake comments added to fake stories, the problem with customizing our news sources, fake vs inaccurate news and the role of satire, the fact that journalists don't have a license - his conscience being his license, covering the 2016 election and how mainstream journalists got it wrong, the polling data was there for that last week, showing the weakness for Clinton's bid, being a headline society, if there is anything with which the 2016 election compares, the importance of attribution, not taking sides but asking tough questions to everyone, recommendations to read some history books, his advice to new journalists.
You can watch Brad on Eyewitness News at 5, 6 and 10 p.m. on WEHT Local and 9 p.m. on Local 7 WTVW.

Imagine being stuck in a body that couldn't speak and couldn't move when you wanted to move. Imagine being overlooked or underestimated every day of your life!

Respected and influential people in our community are being nominated to give up their speaking voice for 24-hours to bring awareness to the more than 300 non-verbal youth on the autism spectrum in southwestern Indiana. Similar to the MDA Lock Up, those who are "Silenced" will collect pledges/donation to try to "buy their voice back". Once they meet their funding goal, they can start speaking again and even nominate someone else to be "silenced" for the rest of this 24-hour campaign. Monies raised will purchase iPads, apps, and communication training for area children and families. If you'd like to help Make a Difference - Text SILENCED to 41444.

"The End of Malice will help facilitate conversations around topics and matters that concern our nation's inner cities and urban communities. The film helps to address the infatuation and obsession that so many have with Rap and Drug culture. The allure is strong and many have been led into fruitless pursuits that leave them lost and broken. We want to restore that brokenness through the compelling and powerful story of Gene “No Malice” Thornton." - Event Info

Randy Russelburg is not your ordinary name-dropper. Whether he had a few minutes or a few hours to work with celebrities, he used that time to pick their brains (so to speak) to build a business plan. That business plan became The SMArts Project. Sick of watching high school students selling other businesses products for a small fraction of funds, Randy wanted to use his connections to help students create something beautiful of their own to not only sell, but to treasure. High schools partner with celebrities to create a music CD and perform a concert. The process is closer to a small business than a fundraiser as they name it, design the logo and jacket, market the product, arrange the performance, and so on. The own it, take pride in it, profit from it, and enjoy it the rest of their lives.

40 lb Sledgehammer Productions was formed with the goal of building, promoting, and managing the best sporting events possible. The days are gone of having to travel outside the area to participate in top quality events. We are dedicated to building Southern Indiana into a hot bed of bicycle racing, both road and mountain bike. We are firm believers in fitness and see no reason why our home can't have the well produced events found throughout the country.
