Identity Issues=Addiction Issues

Identity Issues=Addiction Issues

I myself have journeyed through nearly fifty years of searching and seeking through almost all of the “things” that this world has to offer in a never ending quest for love and acceptance. Often the root cause in our sin struggle is a deep and vast “hole in the soul” wound that is often caused by dad… what he did, what he said, and sometimes from what dad did not say and what he did not do. As fathers, we have a tremendous responsibility to raise and release young adults into the world that truly understand their identity in Christ. Nothing else on earth fills the void!

Testimony of Morgan & Kynzi Lane-Part 1

This “life story” and testimony of this real life power couple for Jesus is full, and I mean packed full, of so many hardships turned praise stories that it makes you hope it doesn’t end….. Part 1 is the beginning of them…..It starts out with both of their “not so perfect” childhoods that often left them feeling rejected and abandoned. As only God knew, that turned out to be the “mantra” of this interview because those same issues define so many of us, and really hits home for Wild Will as he also shared a lot of his own story and struggles with rejection and abandonment issues within’ the telling of their story.  This story continued to unfold layer after layer of Gods amazing intervention, like when Kynzi’s life as a young teenager totally shifted direction when she was moved from Erath county near Stephenville, Texas all the way up near Canadian in the Texas panhandle where she later met Morgan. Leading up to their college days and then her moving back to Erath county which resulted in Morgan following her, and marriage soon after, then their first pregnancy. Unfortunately they have dealt with the unspeakable in losing that child mid term, then Morgan lost a best friend to suicide. It soon looked like their lives seemed to be completely spiraling out of control……Then Jesus stepped in and began the slow process of rebuilding them from the ground up. What a remarkable story of unwavering spiritual and physical grit and determination to “stay hooked”……Their life is what “How to books” should be written from.  Thanks for following and stay tuned for Part 2.  (Wild Will hopes to get better at editing and splicing one day soon maybe…..until then, please just be graceful and enjoy the authenticity of it all)  PS-If you know someone who should be interviewed, please find WW on line and send him a message. Thanks!!

TCR Double Muggers Carl Perkins & Brand Cude

Podcast interview with legendary rodeo cowboys that have been a long and hard to miss presence at the Texas Cowboy Reunion Rodeo in Stamford, Texas held every July for over 90 years.  “Double muggers” that don’t play, Carl Perkins and Brand Cude talk about their long history competing in the TCR, how they prepared to win, and why they didn’t want to waste their entry fees, and then they leave us with great advice for the younger generation. Also included in this sit down was Sid Miller-Texas Agriculture Commissioner and TCR rodeo competitor himself. As well as Brody Deaver from TCR’s long term Title Sponsor-Capital Farm Credit. All of these gentlemen agree on America’s need for more grit & more Jesus.

Steadfast-Danny & Pricilla Duvalle Testimony

“Steadfast”-I prayed and God listened. (Danny Duvall-81) Also found in Psalms 34:4.  Join in as Wild Will sits down at the ranch home of Danny and Pricilla Duvalle of Lingleville, Texas. The Duvalle’s have been married for 62 years, raised three sweet daughters that have added thirteen grandchildren and twenty six great grandchildren to their “quiver”. They “bought the farm” and moved to Lingleville right at fifty years ago with three small children, one God, one dream and no money….They have been steadfast to the Lord, each other and their family, not to mention, their church. Danny humbly stated that they have attended Lingleville Baptist church consistently through thirteen different pastors. Ironically, they whole heartedly agree that they owe everything about who they are today to God and older church members that “took them in” and discipled and taught them how to act when they were not much more than kids themselves. It’s because of how older church members taught them that they have dedicated so much of their time over the past sixty two years, and still do today, to being a steadfast presence at church helping anyway they can. What an amazing life story and testimony of going the distance and never giving up on each other.

Here am I, take me!!

The killing of Charlie Kirk was the promotion of his lifetime. No greater honor can be given a man than to become a martyr for the name of Jesus. Charlie stood solid on his public profession of his faith in Jesus and wanted to be remembered for his courage. He ain’t mad. Now, let us, brothers and sisters, not let his death be in vain. Wild Will makes a bold but simple statement and calls for others to join in, “Here am I, take my life.” Jesus said in John 15:13-No greater love has a man than to lay down his life for his friends.  Charlie was singled out because he was one of just a few in the world that took their faith so public….he was a “Lone Ranger” of his profession……We should all be courageous enough to publicly stand up and be so bold as to say, “I too am willing to die for my savior.”
