Happy Labor Day!

In today's shorter than normal episode, we're discussing a big announcement in college football,

the unceiling of a more detailed list of what was taken from Mar-a-Lago, and other top

news for Monday, September 5th.

Stay informed while remaining focused on Christ, with the pourover.

Here's the quote of the day.

Authentic Christianity is not increasing levels of commitment grudgingly given to God.

It is surrender to Jesus out of a sense of privilege in having Him.

Grab your shoulder pads, college football is back in full swing.

While there was some shuffling of the top 25 rankings after the first week, yes, Alabama

is still number one, it was the college football playoffs board that nabbed the most headlines.

On Friday, the board unanimously voted to expand the playoffs from four to twelve teams.

While still a wee bit less important than the twelve tribes of Israel or twelve apostles,

a twelve team playoff will be a big shift.

The playoffs expanded from two teams to four teams in 2014, and will switch to twelve

teams in 2026, although there is pressure to make it happen as soon as 2024.

Meanwhile, the NFL's regular season kicks off this Thursday with the Buffalo Bills taking

on the Los Angeles Rams.

Too often we let eternally insignificant things like sports control our mood and behavior.

It's not wrong to enjoy these things, but remember that whether your team wins or loses,

nothing of true importance has changed.
