Creighton was able to overcome a first-half deficit last night with a 17-0 run against Kansas City to win that.

And Omaha beat Mid-American Christian last night.

Nice job by them.

Coming up today on the show, we'll get into those games from last night and the outlooks for the college basketball teams.

And also in Omaha, it is Omaha.

And is it Mid-American Christian?

Mid-American Christian is what I had saw.

Mid-American Christian is a common team that keeps appearing on the schedule.

I wonder what the...

There's got to be some connection there with

So a third place finish, Trace Obink led the way, but Dort, a great showing, and they continue to showcase some of the depth that we've talked about the women, but you got Trace Obink, Jackson Prins, and then some different ones, Caleb Van Beek, Bennett Visser, Lawson Burkhart in the top five for the defenders.

I'm looking, uh, who was it? Mid-America Christian.

Did they finish second? That was a little bit of a surprise, wasn't it? They

This year we'll celebrate 15 years of marriage together and I'm grateful every day for the support of my family.

My professional background includes degrees in accounting from Rogers State University and a data analytics degree from Mid-America Christian University in Oklahoma City.

So today we are chatting with Garret Castleberry, who is associate professor and serves as program director of media production and communications at at the Mid-America Christian University.

And he is also co-chair of the School Humanities Social Sciences.

and some of the military's most demanding roles, Green Beret, Army Ranger, Sniper School Commander, do I have your attention, and professor at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

So after his military career, Dr. Dillman served for 10 years as a professor and director at Mid-America Christian University, where he continued shaping leaders of character and conviction.

In 2024, he founded a ministry called the Discipled Warriors Ministry that's dedicated to educating, and encouraging men to become the spiritual leaders God created them to be.

Amen and amen, amen, says this Christian woman.

And thank you for your desire to grow men up in God.

But I have to ask, I'm interested in the bridge here, this stellar military career.

How do you go from that to being a professor at Mid-America Christian University? What's the segue there?

Janet, first, thank you for having me on your show.

Okay.

That was my group when college.
