Attempted Murder (The Crow Bar Presents)

This week we put the Crows’ ruck stocks under the microscope — who’s flying, who’s fumbling, and whether we’ve finally found the formula to dominate the hit-outs in 2026. Plus, a cheeky Collingwood Football Club supporter wanders into the courtroom and takes the absolute piss out of us — but we handle it the only way Crows fans know how… with selective memory and blind optimism. And in the biggest “sentence” of the week, young gun Max Michalanney signs on long term with the Adelaide Football Club — four years hard labour in the tri-colours. We call it a conviction. The league should call it a warning. If you’re a Crows fan still chasing justice for 1998, this one’s for you.

If you love the Adelaide Crows, you’re in the right place. Join Leroy, Ray and Lenny as we rally the flock, dissect the highs and lows, and reopen the biggest cold case in footy — another flag at AFL level. Crows fans, this isn’t just a podcast. It’s a movement. Let’s gather.

Worry has a sneaky way of stealing today’s peace over something that hasn’t even happened yet. In this episode of Faith Fuel, we talk about what Jesus said in Matthew 6:34 — “Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.” Jesus wasn’t saying that tomorrow doesn’t matter. He was reminding us that God is already there. When we fix our eyes on the unknown, we miss what He’s doing right here, right now. Worry doesn’t change tomorrow — but prayer changes us today. So if your mind’s been running ahead to “what if,” take a deep breath. Hand those thoughts over to God and trust that He’s got tomorrow covered — and today too.

Have you ever found yourself standing at a crossroads — not sure which way to go next? Maybe it’s a big life decision, a relationship change, or a season where the next step just isn’t clear. In this episode of Faith Fuel, we talk about how to find peace and direction when you don’t know which path to take. God’s Word reminds us in Proverbs 3:5–6 to “trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” When we surrender our plans and let God guide our steps, He makes the way forward clear — even if it’s just one step at a time. So if you’re feeling stuck or uncertain, take heart. God hasn’t forgotten you — He’s preparing you. The waiting time isn’t wasted time when you trust the One leading you.

This world is jam packed with voices claiming to speak truth, how do you know which ones are really from God? In this episode of Faith Fuel, we dive into what Jesus warned us about — false prophets who sound convincing but lead hearts away from the truth. They might look the part, say the right words, and even use Scripture, but their fruit tells the real story. Jesus said, “By their fruit, you will recognize them.” (Matthew 7:16) That means their actions, motives, and the way they treat others reveal whether they truly walk with Him. Today we explore how to stay spiritually alert, test what you hear against God’s Word, and keep your faith rooted in truth, not trends.

We all carry things that drag us down — anger, disappointment, resentment, or regret. Those emotions can quietly build up until they start shaping how we see ourselves, others, and even God. In this episode of Faith Fuel, we talk about the power of letting go and giving those emotions to the One who can handle them. Jesus invites us to come to Him when we’re weary and burdened — not so He can shame us, but so He can set us free. Letting go isn’t weakness; it’s surrender. It’s choosing peace over pain and trust over control. In this episode ee reminded today that you don’t have to carry it all. God’s shoulders are big enough for what’s been weighing you down.

Have you ever felt mocked or ridiculed for what you believe? Maybe someone rolled their eyes when you mentioned church, or dismissed your faith as foolish. In this episode of Faith Fuel, we take a look at how Jesus handled mockery — from the religious leaders who questioned Him to the soldiers who mocked Him on the way to the cross. Jesus never lashed out, never backed down, and never let their words shake His identity. Instead, He showed grace, strength, and unwavering love — reminding us that our faith isn’t defined by how others treat it, but by how we live it. Be encouraged to hold firm, stay kind, and remember: when the world mocks your faith, you’re in good company — because they mocked Jesus too.

Life moves fast. Work, family, church, responsibilities — it can feel like everyone else’s needs always come first. And sometimes, we forget that God designed us to need rest, reflection, and renewal. Allowing yourself even a few intentional minutes a day for YOU — for quiet, for prayer, for a walk, or even just to sit with your thoughts — is not selfish. It’s necessary. In Mark 6:31, Jesus said to His disciples, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” Even Jesus, the Son of God, recognized the importance of stepping back from the busyness to refresh and reconnect.

Today’s episode is all about integrity — not just something you put on for show, but something that’s woven into your very character. Integrity is more than honesty; it’s living in alignment with your values even when no one is watching. It’s doing what’s right when it’s hard, when it costs you, or when it won’t bring you any recognition. It’s a quality that forms the foundation of trust, respect, and true leadership. In Proverbs 10:9, the Bible says, “Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.” When your integrity is part of your makeup, you live confidently, without fear of being exposed because your life matches your values. Jesus demonstrated perfect integrity every day — His words and actions aligned perfectly with His character and mission. And that’s the goal for us: not perfection, but consistency in walking in truth, love, and justice.

Today’s episode is all about unforgiveness and holding grudges — two things that can weigh down the soul like nothing else. You know, it’s funny how something can happen months or even years ago, and it still has the power to stir up emotion the moment we think about it. A harsh word. A betrayal. A friendship that ended badly. It’s easy to say, “I’ve moved on,” but deep down, sometimes we haven’t. We’re still carrying the hurt — and often, the other person has no idea. But here’s the truth: holding on to unforgiveness doesn’t punish them — it poisons us.

Today’s episode is all about not letting people’s opinions define you. You know, it’s amazing how quickly someone’s comment — a passing remark, a bit of criticism, or even just a look — can shake our confidence. Maybe someone didn’t like how you handled something, or they questioned your motives, or maybe they just don’t see the real you. And before you know it, their opinion starts living rent-free in your mind. In Galatians 1:10, Paul writes, “Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.” That’s powerful. Paul knew that chasing the opinions of others would only pull him away from his purpose.

You know, there are those days where you start out feeling okay, but one small setback, one missed opportunity, or one harsh word, and suddenly the voice of doubt gets louder than the voice of truth. You start to wonder, “Am I really cut out for this?” “Did God really choose me?” “What if I’m just not enough?” If that’s you today, you’re not alone. Even some of the greatest people in the Bible had moments of doubt. Think about Moses — when God called him to lead the Israelites, he said, “Who am I to do that?” He doubted his speech, his ability, and even his worth. But God didn’t choose Moses because he was perfect — He chose him because He had a purpose.

Being a disciple of Jesus is more than just believing—it’s about following. In this episode, we explore what it truly means to walk in His footsteps: learning from His words, living by His example, and letting His Spirit shape who we are. Discipleship isn’t a checklist of religious duties; it’s a daily journey of surrender, growth, and love. When we choose to be disciples, we choose to live differently—reflecting Jesus not just in what we say, but in how we live.

Being a Christian isn’t about hiding away in a bubble or only surrounding yourself with “Christian” things. In this episode, we talk about what it looks like to live out your faith in the real world—where conversations aren’t always polished, music isn’t always worship, and life doesn’t fit into neat boxes. Following Jesus means being authentic, relatable, and present in the everyday moments, not just the Sunday ones. Faith isn’t about escaping the world, but about shining light right in the middle of it.

We live in a world that often tells us to toughen up, stay strong, and keep our feelings to ourselves. But God never called us to carry the weight of unspoken emotions on our own. In fact, the Bible is filled with people who cried out to Him—David poured out his heart in the Psalms, Jeremiah lamented for his people, and even Jesus wept openly at the tomb of His friend. In this episode, we talk about the freedom that comes when we stop bottling everything up and instead bring our raw, unfiltered selves to God. Letting out your emotions doesn’t make you weak—it makes you human, and it opens the door for God’s healing and comfort to meet you right where you are. Whether it’s through prayer, journaling, or simply being honest with a trusted friend, learning to express what’s inside is a vital step in living with authentic faith. Faith isn’t about putting on a mask. It’s about trusting that God can handle our deepest pain, our loudest cries, and our quietest fears—and that He loves us through it all.

We often pour ourselves out for everyone else—family, work, friends, even ministry—until there’s nothing left to give. But Scripture reminds us that even Jesus took time to step away, rest, and pray. In Mark 6:31, He told His disciples, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s stewardship. In this episode of Faith Fuel, we explore how caring for your body, mind, and spirit allows you to serve God and others with renewed strength. From rest and prayer to healthy rhythms and boundaries, we’ll talk about how intentional self-care honors the life God has entrusted to you. Because when you look after your soul, you’re better equipped to love others well and keep your faith burning strong.

Gratitude has a way of changing everything—not because our circumstances suddenly shift, but because our perspective does. Too often we find ourselves waiting for the “big” breakthroughs before we thank God. But Scripture reminds us, “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Thessalonians 5:18). In this episode of Faith Fuel, we slow down and notice the beauty in the small, ordinary moments that often go unseen—a warm cup of coffee, laughter with family, the quiet peace of prayer, or even just the gift of waking up to a new day. These aren’t throwaway moments; they’re evidence of God’s hand at work. Gratitude turns the simple into sacred and helps us see that every good thing, big or small, comes from Him. Whether you’re walking through joy or hardship, leaning into gratitude can lift your spirit, renew your faith, and remind you that God’s goodness is all around you.

Addiction can feel like a label that sticks, a weight that whispers “this is who you are.” But the truth is, your struggle does not define you—God does. In this episode of Faith Fuel, we’ll explore how Scripture reminds us that in Christ, we are made new. No mistake, habit, or failure is stronger than His grace. Whether you’re in the fight yourself or walking alongside someone who is, this conversation will point you back to the hope, freedom, and identity that can only be found in Jesus.

The Bible is clear: we’re in a spiritual battle. The enemy would love nothing more than to distract, discourage, and derail us. But God hasn’t left us defenseless. In Ephesians 6, Paul talks about putting on the full armor of God—truth, righteousness, faith, salvation, and the Word—so we can stand firm when attacks come. In this episode of Faith Fuel, we unpack what it really means to be battle-ready in everyday life. From the challenges at work to the struggles at home, we don’t fight in our own strength—we stand equipped with God’s strength. For those of us carrying responsibilities, leading families, or navigating pressures, this is a reminder that with the right armor, the enemy doesn’t stand a chance.
