It's a tragedy to watch a self-made legacy dissolve into amateurism. Kevin built an empire on…read moresupposed rigor, but the current state of affairs suggests the 'Sun King' is no longer minding the shop. When the Fire Department issues an official damage estimate of $250,000, yet the internal narrative involves paying the children a staggering $2.5 million, the math stops being 'business' and starts looking like a desperate redistribution of assets. For a man who prides himself on being a master architect of industry, a 1,000% discrepancy between public record and private payout isn't just a red flag--it's an admission of administrative failure. The operational culture has devolved into a farce. Attempting to conduct professional business is now met with the absurdity of a 4:00 AM Friday 'church' alibi. Using a house of worship as a tactical shield to avoid answering for a $2.25 million gap in valuation is beneath the man Kevin used to be. It suggests that while the kids are playing with smoke machines like they're at a high school dance, the actual foundation of the family name is being set on fire by their own arrogance. I'm left wondering: Is Kevin still in control, or has the 'empire' become a playground for entitled heirs who don't realize that the Fire Department's paper trail lasts longer than a 4:00 AM prayer? I hope for the sake of his history, he finds the discipline to audit his own house before the public record does it for him. Would it not be more efficient to ask your donors to give directly to their poor construction company's? The FBI and the IRS are going to want to know! Beyond the documented historical associations with oil interests, the current lack of structural separation between Kevin Guffey's role as Treasurer for the CEA and his religious leadership at Crossroads Christian Church presents a textbook conflict of interest. In the interest of public transparency and the proper oversight of funds, I am formally demanding an appointment for an independent audit of the CEA's financial records. Any refusal to provide this access for a documented review of the ledger only confirms the systemic procedural failures and administrative opacity this entity relies on. I am awaiting a formal, written response for the record. https://youtu.be/4YOA_XssG68?si=UV5UqeY77WjtDRkh Fire and the CEA have a history! The family is thriving as usual.

So full disclosure I'm not a very religious person, and there is a part of me that is like hey,…read moreSarah, what are you doing reviewing a church? Well, this church in particular is a historic one, and if you're anything like me, you might enjoy architecture and exploring historic sites when in a new town. So, this review is for those of you who like me, want to explore and take in some historic sites when travelling. First of all, Lindsborg KS is a town in central Kansas known for Swedish settlement. According to history, folks in the town even had residents that spoke Swedish as a primary language for a few generations, I could be wrong, but if my memory is correct, the last folks who spoke Swedish fluently likely were even around as recently as the 70s or 80s so it's a very Swedish town, chock full of local pride. My in-laws live in this town so I've been several times, and have had the opportunity to explore. This church I've been to for Christmas Eve service a few times over the years, and more recently I was in town for a festival and the church was being used as a sort of home base for folks to use the restroom and warm up - it was a chilly October day! At any rate, let's get back to the actual church. Bethany Lutheran is about as old school of a Lutheran church as I've ever been to. Growing up in the suburbs of Kansas City, most churches feel somewhat modern so it's a treat to me to take in the elaborate design and reverent feel of something that dates back to a different time. Small, simple, and elegant from the outside, you might not think too much of this historic structure, but walk inside and you're in for a treat. This church is gorgeous, and cozy. The organ takes up most of the upstairs, and it BOOMS when in use. On the occasion that I've come for Christmas eve service it's simply magic inside. Again, not very religious over here, but on the years that I make it to church at Christmas it always has some nostalgic, magic feeling from childhood past, but this church, with it's dim, ornate light fixtures, painted ceiling, and intimate setting, just really maximize the whole Christmas church feeling. If you are a fan of architecture, or interested in the period of history when Europeans settled the great plains of the United States, this is a fantastic church to visit, even if just to walk through it and take it all in. If you happen to be around on a Sunday I'm sure they'd welcome you to a service and you'd get the whole small town charm experience.
