EDITORS WARNING: My mic was not performing very well this podcast. I don't know what got messed up. I definitely got excited and expressed my frustrations. But the mic was not working well tonight. I will look into it. Might need to do some testing to get the levels right.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.”Daniel 3:16-18 NKJV

He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
king of kings and lord of lords.
Revelation 19:13-16 NIV
Ben and Jeremiah talk Jax State and talk a bit about the upcoming BGSU game. Mitch from @BGFootballTalk gives us some inside info for BGSU and their Eddie George lead football team.

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.Colossians 1:15-16 ESV
To quote the fan (the great Rob Schneider's character) from The Waterboy: "Oh no we suck again!"
The season isn't over, it just makes it a little tougher. Let's go get some wins and improve. Glad football is back in full swing, we've got a long season ahead.

At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me. “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
Matthew 18:1-6 NIV
Ben and Jeremiah talk about week 0 games and CUSA. They preview the week 1 game vs Maine.

Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope,and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.Romans 5:1-5 ESV

11 Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. 12 His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. 13 He is clothed in a robe dipped in[b] blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. 14 And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. 15 From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule[c] them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.Revelation 19:11-16 ESV

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.1 John 1:9
UNRELEASED Ben rambles about why he doesn't care about the Super Bowl, NFL Fandoms, CFB isn't relevant in NY, Josh Allen, Bills football rant, NFL games, and why he thinks college football is more enjoyable. Then he concludes by briefly talking about how he evaluates football players.
Ben records a solo podcast in what could become two of the most memorable games of his Liberty football fandom. ECU review and talk about the fun of winning after the storm. CUSA football talk and how Liberty could beat the mountain folk of the state of the Appalachian Mountains. Ben argues -why a PAC-12 for Liberty could be the greatest move ever.

Ben records an episode by himself. I am recovering from a sickness so apologies for sounding a little sick at times. I am also experimenting with a different recording software so if it sounds different, that's why. Not the highest quality audio episode. Thankful for Kyle, James, and Jeremiah this season. I wanted to have a solo episode to talk about the game against Oregon, the transfer portal, the season, and a message that changes the world even after the holiday season. It was a great season and a special season. Hope y'all have a blessed year in 2024. I will probably be taking a break after the recruiting episode. Stay tuned for the superlatives episode. We are going to be okay. We will reload and build. It will take time though.God is sovereign. God is good. God gets the glory. It's always Liberty vs Everybody. Go Flames, all the time. Every day.

TFE/FTFFootballPod host Ben evaluates Malik Willis after spending a week of watching film on him.....and watching his entire career unfold at Liberty for the past two years. Ben evaluates Malik's weaknesses first and then talks about his strengths. Ben briefly evaluates and overviews his rankings of the QBs of the 2022 NFL Draft class. He discusses a familiar comp on his draft profile. He wraps up with his favorite draft fits for Malik and most of all his best NFL fits. Why is the NFC the best conference for a young QB to be in? You'll find out! (This podcast was recorded before the Matt Ryan to Colts trade and also this episode wasn't 20-30 mins long....)

Ben talks a bit about Coach Freeze's first press conference of the spring practices in 2022. He also goes on about the things he's most looking forward to out of the spring practices. This episode was cut out of a much longer episode that has become the bonus episode. This episode was recorded after recording an hour's worth of the bonus episode, expecting it to be one full episode. The other part of this episode will be released on Friday (March 11th) morning - which is about Ben praising and "ranting" about the future of Liberty athletics and what a great schedule could look like in CUSA.

Huge early signing day period for the Liberty Flames football program. In this episode, I evaluate all 17 signings for the Flames and how they will impact the program. This is one of the most exciting days to be a college football fan and it was an exciting day to be a Flames fan. These are program-building players who will make the team better as soon as they start their first practice. I was unable to have enough time to talk about the upcoming bowl game, that will be a separate smaller episode that will release Saturday morning at 8 am to get you ready for the game! #FanEm #RiseWithUs #GoFlames
