Have you ever met someone whose very presence could fill a room, yet harbored an endearing vulnerability? This is the story of Big John McClard, the gentle giant from my oil field days who taught me more about strength and courage than anyone I've ever known. As we unfold the chapters of John's life, we'll discover the rich tapestry of mentorship and friendship that weaved through our days amidst the relentless grind of the oil fields. From John's unexpected phobia to the shared meals that tasted of camaraderie, each memory is a testament to the human experience and the unexpected lessons that shape us.

Venture with me, William Carroll, through intimate reflections of faith and fellowship, where humor meets the sacred, and life's simplest moments reveal profound truths. We'll navigate the tapestry of divine encounters, the 'God dots' that punctuate our existence, and the ways in which faith can illuminate even the darkest corners of an oil rig—or the human heart. From Betty's sugar-free delights to the echoes of scripture that guided us, this episode is an embrace of life's journey, a celebration of the mentors who mold us, and an inspiration to live authentically, with a spirit enriched by the teachings of Jesus. Join us for an exploration of the intersection between earthly toil and spiritual wisdom, as we honor the legacy of Big John McClard.
