[https://thechrisvossshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/71-51MpvUZL._SL1360_-200x300.jpg] Take a Stand: A Look Within by Dr Shanequa E Wilson https://www.amazon.com/Take-Stand-Dr-Shanequa-Wilson/dp/B0GY1TCJZW [https://www.amazon.com/Take-Stand-Dr-Shanequa-Wilson/dp/B0GY1TCJZW] Are you observing the collapse – or discerning your role in it? ________________________________________ In an age of moral compromise, fractured identity, and silent surrender, Take a Stand: A Look Within confronts a truth many refuse to face: The instability shaking nations is rooted in the instability within individuals. This is not a political argument. It is not cultural commentary. It is a summons to accountability before God. Dr. Shanequa E. Wilson exposes the war within – the internal erosion of conviction, the distortion of identity, and the quiet agreements made with fear, culture, and compromise. From generational foundations to modern-day deception, she dismantles false narratives that have shaped minds, weakened families, and diluted spiritual authority. Through biblical examination, national reflection, and personal confrontation, this work moves beyond observation and into repositioning. It challenges readers to: – Examine the internal agreements fueling external chaos – Discern the spiritual forces influencing societal direction – Reclaim identity grounded in truth – Stand with clarity in a time demanding courage This book is not designed for passive readers. It is written for those willing to confront themselves before confronting the world. The battle is not merely around you. It is within you. And where you stand internally determines what you will stand for publicly.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – The Man That I Would Become by Victor L Bretting

[https://thechrisvossshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/611IvMMzcAL._SL1499_-200x300.jpg] The Man That I Would Become by Victor L Bretting Brettingtexanranch.com [https://brettingtexanranch.com/] https://www.amazon.com/Man-That-Would-Become/dp/B0GVPR4SC9 [https://www.amazon.com/Man-That-Would-Become/dp/B0GVPR4SC9] Raised by a hardworking single mother whose grit, sacrifice, and faith shaped his life, Victor Bretting learned early that perseverance, responsibility, and character are forged through adversity. An eighth-generation Texan descended from Stephen F. Austin’s original Old 300 families, Victor began his career as a water boy on a nuclear power plant construction project at nineteen years old. Over the next fifty years, he worked his way through the ranks of the construction industry, eventually retiring as a vice president. Along the way, he became an internationally recognized outdoorsman, setting multiple world hunting records across six continents. But The Man That I Would Become is not a book about success. It is a book about becoming. Through stories of faith, failure, leadership, family, hunting, adversity, and personal growth, Victor shares the hard-earned lessons that shaped his life. From football fields and construction sites to hunting camps around the world, each chapter reveals the struggles, setbacks, victories, and moments of grace that helped form the man he would become. This inspiring memoir explores what it means to take responsibility, persevere through hardship, lead with integrity, and trust God’s plan when the road ahead is uncertain. It is a story for anyone who has ever faced adversity, questioned their purpose, or wondered what truly matters in life. Today, Victor and his family continue that mission through Bretting Texan Ranch (B-Tex Ranch) in North Texas, where wounded veterans, terminally ill children, and young men seeking purpose are welcomed to experience faith, fellowship, and the healing power of the outdoors. The Man That I Would Become is more than a memoir. It is a reminder that life’s greatest achievement is not measured by titles, wealth, or accomplishments, but by becoming the person God created you to be. This is Victor’s story and an invitation to visit the place where it all comes together: B-Tex Ranch. About the author Victor Bretting is an 8th-generation Texan part of the original Old 300 families who settled this land under Stephen F. Austin. He started his career as a water boy at a nuclear power plant at nineteen is an executive nearly fifty years later. He holds multiple world hunting records across six continents. At his ranch in North Texas, he opens the gates to combat veterans, terminally ill children, and young men who need to meet God. This is his story. And it is an invitation to visit the place where it all comes together at The Bretting Texan Ranch (B-Tex Ranch). With nearly five decades in the construction industry, he built his career from the ground up—earning every lesson through long days, hard work, and real responsibility. That same grit carried over into the outdoors, where he became a lifelong hunter and international sportsman, harvesting many species across five continents and earning multiple world records and top honors in the hunting community. Victor is the owner of Bretting Texan Ranch (B-Tex Ranch) in North Texas, where he has created more than a hunting operation. He’s built a place where people come to reconnect with the land, with each other, and with something greater than themselves. His ranch stands as a reflection of his values: hard work, stewardship, faith, and treating people like family. Victor is deeply committed to giving back through organizations like Hunting with Soldiers, which brings combat veterans into the outdoors to find healing from the weight of war, and Cross Trail Outfitters, a faith-based ministry dedicated to guiding young men and women through outdoor experiences rooted in Christ. At his ranch, these aren’t just events—they are moments of restoration, mentorship, and purpose. Whether it’s a veteran finding peace in the stillness of the land or a young hunter learning discipline and faith for the first time, Victor believes the outdoors is one of the last places where real transformation still happens.
