goodtaste for the Soul

They’re the people we count on when something goes terribly wrong—the police officers, firefighters, paramedics and other first responders who run toward situations most of us would run from.

But what happens after the sirens stop? What does carrying those experiences day after day do to the mind and the heart?

Behind the badge, the uniform, and the calm exterior are human beings who can face extraordinary levels of stress, trauma and emotional pressure. Today, we’re talking about the mental challenges first responders face, the importance of asking for help, and the wonderful group that is providing confidential, free counseling to these heroes.

If you or someone you love has ever been given a tough medical diagnosis, you know what a rollercoaster ride the journey to getting help and healing can be.

Tanji received a diagnosis of a malignant tumor in her breast this summer and has been receiving treatment at the wonderful MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. There have been some unexpected bumps along the way—including three surgeries in one month.

In today’s update, she shares some of those ups and downs, along with some of your inspiring comments and personal stories of “Godwinks” and milagros—those little miracles that are simply too obvious to ignore.

Amid the ancient ruins, iconic landmarks, and layers of history that make Rome so captivating, it's easy to miss some of the city's most significant sites—especially if you don't know where to look.

I've been to Rome a handful of times, but never before had I traced the footsteps of the Apostle Paul and St. Peter. This time, I saw the Eternal City through a completely different lens.

Our guide, Araceli Cardenas, is a very special longtime friend who now lives in Rome. Araceli works at the United Nations, but she also leads faith-based excursions that trace the footsteps of Paul and Peter through the city and the surrounding region.  Not only are her special tours remarkable but so is her story--one of pain, long suffering and redemption.

BUY HIS BOOK: https://www.amazon.com/Parables-Pencil-Sketches-Devotionals-Favorite/dp/B0H7YZXMX4

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.
