What can a pencil teach us about Jesus?  

Quite a lot, as you’re about to see through the work of my guest today, Bill Nichols.

Bill is a very gifted Texas artist, pastor, even the cofounder of a major cable network.  These days, he creates in a beautiful—and surprisingly simple—way to bring the timeless parables of Jesus to life. His medium? A pencil.

In his new book, Parables in Pencil, Bill uses pencil drawings to help us see these familiar stories in a fresh way—sometimes making us pause, look a little closer and think about a truth we may have heard a hundred times, but never quite seen this way.

Bill holds a PhD in philosophy, but what struck me most about his work isn’t simply what he knows. It’s how he sees.

There’s something beautiful about taking these stories Jesus told 2,000 years ago and giving them new life through something as humble as a pencil.

And I think you’ll discover, as I did, that there’s a lot more behind these drawings than pencil and paper. There’s a beautiful soul, a deep faith and a gift for helping the rest of us see timeless truths in a new way.

This is a special book—and Bill is a very special storyteller.

Today's interview is with a Texas winemaker who's producing some notable red wines in California's beautiful Paso Robles wine region.
I first discovered Brady Vineyards after spotting their Zinfandel on the shelf at H-E-B. Truth be told, I don't usually reach for Zinfandel, but there was something different about Brady's. It wasn't the typical fruit bomb. Instead, it was beautifully balanced, with nuance and layers of flavor that kept me coming back for another sip.
While I enjoy the Brady Zinfandel, Don Brady says the true stars of his portfolio are his Old World-inspired reds, including Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petite Sirah.
I had the pleasure of sitting down with Don at one of my favorite San Antonio restaurants, Boudro's on the River Walk, to talk about his winemaking journey, what makes Paso Robles such a special place to grow grapes, and why he's focused on crafting elegant wines that let the fruit—and the vineyard—speak for themselves.

We don't talk much about spiritual warfare anymore, but maybe we should. What if some of the greatest battles we face aren't the obvious ones—or even come disguised as something good?

To dive deeper into what can be a heavy topic, I reached out to Community Bible Church Pastor Ed Newton in San Antonio, TX, a guy who isn’t your ordinary pastor – a man who has the ability to connect with just about anybody on any level. 

My interest in the subject really grew after reading The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis a couple of years ago. It challenged me to think differently about the quiet, everyday ways we're influenced and distracted.  Any Wormwoods in your world?  There were in mine…still are.

Have you ever stopped to think about what toxins you're exposed to every day—and what it might be doing to your brain?

Most of us don't think twice about the air we breathe, the chemicals used on our lawns or crops, or the environmental toxins we encounter throughout our lives. But what if those everyday exposures are having a bigger impact on our brain health than we realize, especially for people in states like Texas?

Researchers are taking a closer look at why neurological disorders like Parkinson's disease are becoming more common and appearing in younger adults. 

Could a slight tremor, changes in your handwriting, a diminished sense of smell, or even problems sleeping be your body's way of signaling that something isn't quite right? Knowing what to watch for could make all the difference.

The good news is there's never been more hope. New diagnostic tools and groundbreaking treatments—including Deep Brain Stimulation and focused ultrasound—are helping people live fuller, more active lives, and many of those advances are happening in San Antonio at the new Center for Brain Health at UT Health San Antonio.

Today, we're joined by Dr. Okeanis Vaou to separate fact from fear and to explain the symptoms you should never ignore. Whether you're thinking about your own health, your parents, or your children, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

Some people can read a room. Today's guest can read the people in it.

Jan Hargrave has spent decades teaching everyone from Fortune 500 executives and law enforcement professionals to television personalities how to understand the messages we send without saying a single word. She's one of the country's leading experts in body language and nonverbal communication, and after today's conversation, you'll probably never watch a conversation—or have one—the same way again.

But before Jan became an internationally recognized behavioral authority, she was a proud Cajun girl from the bayous of South Louisiana, where family, storytelling, and paying attention to people weren't just traditions—they were a way of life. 

Today, find out what our faces, hands, posture, and expressions reveal, why first impressions matter more than we realize, how to spot confidence, deception, and authenticity, and how becoming more aware of body language can transform our relationships, our careers, and even our faith.

So settle in for a fascinating conversation with body language expert Jan Hargrave. I think you'll leave seeing people—and maybe even yourself—a little differently.
