Jim:

Your SPF records are somewhat contradictory there.

The first record says that receiving servers should reject all mail except from those listed ... which are none.

The second record says that receiving servers should accept mail sent from servers referenced on _spf.google.com (fine), agiletecharch.com (recursive) and sites.nearlyfreespeech.net (also fine, assuming you send mail from that server also). The final ~all indicates that you are (technically) testing SPF and that mail from any other server not listed should be soft failed (not rejected but tagged).

If you're only sending from google for work, then your spf record should look something like this:

v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all
