Episode Description 

When Texans fled east after the fall of the Alamo and the Goliad massacre, it looked like total defeat. History calls it the Runaway Scrape—a muddy, desperate march for survival. But that so-called retreat gave Sam Houston the time he needed to regroup, and it led directly to victory at San Jacinto. In this episode of The T-Chromosome Daily, Tweed reminds us that sometimes what feels like loss is really preparation for triumph.  

Show Notes 

In today’s episode, Tweed draws a powerful parallel between the Runaway Scrape of 1836 and those moments in our own lives when forward progress feels impossible. 

You’ll hear about: 

• How Texas families fled in chaos after the Alamo and Goliad.
• Why the Runaway Scrape looked like failure—but turned out to be a turning point.
• The lesson: survival is not weakness—it’s strength.
• How to keep going when you’re stuck in your own “muddy road” season.

Key Takeaway:
What looks like defeat today may be the very thing setting you up for your San Jacinto moment tomorrow.

Closing Note:
Thanks for spending a couple of minutes with me today. I’ll be right back here Monday morning, waiting for you.
