"There Is More" - Conversation Series - Ep23 - Tres Adami

Episode 23 | There Is More with David Walker In this episode, David Walker sits down with Tress Adamy, a respected San Antonio attorney whose life story is rooted in faith, family, hard work, and nearly 150 years of South Texas ranching heritage. Tress shares what it was like growing up on a working cattle ranch near Freer, Texas — learning discipline, responsibility, and perseverance alongside his father, a quiet and resilient man who survived 3½ years in a Japanese prison camp during World War II. He also reflects on the powerful spiritual influence of his mother, whose life of prayer shaped generations and became a cornerstone of their family’s faith. From small-town athletics to playing college football at Texas Tech, Tress recounts the lessons learned through competition, teamwork, and leadership. Those same principles carried him through law school and into a legal career spanning more than 40 years, where he built a reputation for integrity, fairness, and excellence in defense litigation. Throughout the conversation, Tress explains how faith informs his professional life — from hiring practices and client relationships to how he approaches justice and decision-making. He also shares how being part of a faith-centered hunting community helped redefine fellowship, accountability, and prayer outside the walls of a church. As priorities shift with age, Tress and David reflect on what truly matters: putting God first, protecting family relationships, and investing in meaningful friendships. This episode is rich with wisdom for anyone navigating career, faith, and legacy. 🎧 Watch now and be reminded that beyond success, reputation, and achievement — there is more.

"There Is More" - Conversation Series - Ep22 - "Big" John Meyer

Episode 22 | There is More with David Walker In this powerful and deeply personal episode, David sits down with John Meyer, a respected leader, lifelong San Antonio native, and retired Vice President of Engineering and Manufacturing at Holt of Texas. John’s story is one of faith, faithful stewardship, and extraordinary leadership shaped over decades of service. John shares his remarkable journey — starting as a mechanic straight out of high school and rising through the ranks to oversee hundreds of technicians and more than $100 million in annual operations. Along the way, he reflects on the mentors, leadership lessons, and timeless principles that shaped his approach to people, teamwork, and responsibility. At the heart of this conversation is John’s unshakable faith. He recounts a profound childhood encounter with Jesus at just six years old — a moment that became a lifelong anchor no challenge could take away. Years later, that same faith led him and his wife Brenda to Alamo City Church, where their spiritual lives were renewed and firmly rooted. David and John also share about their unique partnership managing South Texas ranches, built around a simple but powerful mission: “growing bigger deer and better men.” Together, they’ve created a family-friendly, God-honoring environment that breaks the mold of traditional deer camps — producing incredible wildlife success while fostering spiritual growth, mentorship, and even baptisms in the field. This episode is filled with wisdom on leadership, faith in the workplace, stewardship, and the reminder that God can use every arena of life — business, family, or the outdoors — to reveal His purpose. 🎧 Watch now and be reminded that when faith leads the way, the Lord knows how to thrill you — and there is more than you can imagine. #ThereIsMorePodcast #DavidWalker #JohnMeyer #FaithAndLeadership #Testimony #ChristianMen #WorkplaceFaith #Stewardship #Purpose We would love to connect you with our prayer team- email us with as much detail as you'd like to share and how we can pray, to pastorwalker@alamocity.org We are honored to pray with you and excited to see what God does!

Conversation Series - Ep21 - Richard McCaleb

Episode 21 | There is More with David Walker In this heartfelt and wisdom-filled episode, David sits down with Richard McCaleb, a seasoned San Antonio real estate businessman whose life story is marked by resilience, humility, and unwavering faith. Richard opens up about growing up in San Antonio as the youngest of four, discovering his passion for real estate in eighth grade, and navigating one of the worst economic crises in U.S. history — the savings and loan collapse of the late ‘80s. From interest rates as high as 19% to watching entire institutions disappear overnight, the hardship shaped the conservative, steady, and principled approach he carries into every business decision today. He shares the early years of marriage to his wife Serena — including walking through the trauma of her father’s death — and how faith and perseverance became the foundation that strengthened their 38-year marriage and growing family. Richard also reflects on the powerful legacy of his parents, married 74 years, and a moment near the end of his mother’s life that brought deep emotional healing after decades of unspoken pain. Today, Richard’s work in commercial real estate is built on simple values: relationships, integrity, hard work, and “chip shots” instead of risky swings. His latest RV park project has become more than a business deal — it’s now a place of ministry, where military veterans receive support, care, and even join weekly worship gatherings on site. This episode is full of practical wisdom, powerful testimony, and reminders that God can use every season — even economic collapse, family tragedy, or business uncertainty — to shape us into who we’re called to be. 🎧 Watch now and be encouraged to trust God in both the highs and the lows — because there is more in your story than you think. #ThereIsMorePodcast #DavidWalker #RichardMcCaleb #RealEstate #FaithAndBusiness #Testimony #Perseverance #FamilyLegacy #VeteranSupport #Purpose We would love to connect you with our prayer team- email us with as much detail as you'd like to share and how we can pray, to pastorwalker@alamocity.org We are honored to pray with you and excited to see what God does!

Conversation Series - Ep20 - Fernando Gonzalez

Episode 20 | There is More with David Walker In this powerful conversation, David sits down with Fernando Gonzales — husband, father of seven, pastor, and owner of Ferezco Power Systems — to share an incredible journey of obedience, faith, and God’s supernatural provision. Fernando opens with a testimony that will challenge and encourage anyone who has ever struggled to trust God when the numbers don’t make sense. After leaving a secure job because the Lord told him to, his income dropped from nearly $1,000 a week to just $150. With a newborn at home and bills piling up, Fernando cried out to God in frustration — and watched the Lord provide in a way he could never have orchestrated himself. From his early years in Laredo and San Antonio, to working his way up as a diesel technician, to launching Ferezco Power Systems, Fernando shares how every step — including the failures — prepared him for the calling God placed on his life. Today, his company serves customers across Texas with backup power solutions, and his church, Faith and Freedom Fellowship in Poteet, continues to grow under his pastoral leadership. This episode is full of wisdom: the blessing tied to obedience, the danger of fear, the importance of godly counsel, and the faithfulness of a God who cannot lie. Whether you’re facing a big decision, praying for direction, or struggling to trust, Fernando’s story will remind you that when God asks you to step out, He has already prepared what’s on the other side. 🎧 Watch now and be reminded: obedience attracts blessing, and God’s provision always meets you on the path He calls you to walk. #ThereIsMorePodcast #DavidWalker #FernandoGonzales #Testimony #FaithAndProvision #Obedience #FamilyAndFaith #Purpose #BackupPower #FerezcoPowerSystems We would love to connect you with our prayer team- email us with as much detail as you'd like to share and how we can pray, to pastorwalker@alamocity.org We are honored to pray with you and excited to see what God does!
