Success is not about luck or connections handed to you — it comes down to two things: information and access, and most people are missing both. I learned this at a dinner with a highly affluent man, and it connected back to something my brother and I were already doing as kids hustling baseball cards in Abilene, Texas. In this episode, I break down exactly how to position yourself to attract the right information and earn your way into the rooms that matter. Key Takeaways Success breaks down to two core elements: having the right information and having access to execute on it. If you are the end user of news and social media, you are not in the loop — you are the product being sold. Become an expert in your field and people will naturally bring information to you instead of you having to chase it. Reliability is the key to access — people at high levels need to know that if you say you will do something, it gets done, no excuses. Networking only works when you bring either information or access to the table — without one of them, you are just exchanging business cards with people who do not care. Action Steps Audit where your information is coming from this week — if it is only social media or news, find one expert, mentor, or industry insider you can connect with who operates closer to the source. Identify one area where you can become so reliable and excellent that people in higher rooms begin to notice and invite you in. Before your next networking event or meeting, determine whether you are bringing information or access to offer — if you cannot answer that, do the work first before you show up. Notable Quote It is so much easier to attract people than it is to chase people. Be an attraction.

Former NSF water researcher, Texas Farmers Union secretary, and candidate for Texas Ag Commissioner, Clayton Tucker joins the Soil Sisters to discuss the rapid expansion of AI data centers across Texas—and why many farmers and rural communities are sounding the alarm. Tucker explains how large AI facilities are impacting water supplies, electricity prices, housing costs, health, and agricultural land in towns like Abilene and across rural Texas. The conversation explores concerns around power grid strain, backup generators, noise pollution and heat, effects on livestock, and the lack of transparency surrounding data center resource use. We also talk regenerative ranching, hemp, data center cooling alternatives, soil remediation, food monopolies, PFAS runoff, and Tucker's campaign ideas for the future of Texas agriculture. Plus: school gardens, local organizing, and why he believes communities need a stronger voice in shaping AI infrastructure development. MEET OUR GUEST: Clayton Tucker is a former water researcher for the National Science Foundation, Secretary of the Texas Farmers Union, a fair trade organizer, and he helps manage his family ranch in Lampasas, TX. Clayton is running to be our next Texas Agriculture Commissioner to make food and farming affordable, protect our water, and put the brakes on AI Data Centers in our communities.

Hai Wonder Kids, kembali dalam renungan anak GKY Mangga Besar. Judul renungan hari ini adalah Ketelitian Lukas: LisaniasDiambil dari: Lukas 3:1  “Dalam tahun yang kelima belas dari pemerintahan Kaisar Tiberius, ketika Pontius Pilatus menjadi wali negeri Yudea, Herodes raja wilayah Galilea, Filipus, saudaranya, raja wilayah Iturea dan Trakhonitis, dan Lisanias raja wilayah Abilene.”Wonder Kids, Lukas adalah penulis Alkitab yang sangat teliti. Ia sering menuliskan nama orang, tempat, dan waktu dengan jelas. Mengapa? Karena Lukas ingin menunjukkan bahwa apa yang ia tulis benar-benar terjadi dalam sejarah, bukan dongeng.Salah satu contohnya adalah saat Lukas menulis nama Lisanias. Dulu, ada orang yang mengira Lukas salah menulis. Mereka berpikir bahwa Lisanias yang dikenal dalam sejarah hidup pada zaman yang berbeda, jadi sepertinya Lukas keliru. Tetapi kemudian ditemukan bukti-bukti sejarah yang menunjukkan bahwa memang ada seorang Lisanias lain yang memerintah pada waktu yang cocok dengan catatan Lukas. Jadi, ternyata Lukas benar.Wah, ini penting sekali, Wonder Kids. Kadang-kadang orang bisa cepat berkata bahwa Alkitab salah, padahal mereka belum tahu semuanya. Penemuan-penemuan sejarah sering kali justru menolong kita melihat bahwa Alkitab sangat dapat dipercaya. Lukas menulis dengan hati-hati, dan Tuhan memakai ketelitian itu untuk menguatkan iman kita.Ini juga mengajarkan sesuatu untuk hidup kita. Tuhan peduli pada hal-hal kecil. Nama, waktu, dan tempat yang terlihat sepele ternyata penting. Begitu juga dalam hidupmu. Mungkin kamu merasa hal kecil yang kamu lakukan tidak penting, seperti berkata jujur, mengerjakan tugas dengan rapi, atau menaati orang tua dalam hal sederhana. Tetapi Tuhan melihat dan menghargai kesetiaan dalam hal-hal kecil.Kalau firman Tuhan begitu teliti dan dapat dipercaya, maka kita pun bisa datang kepada Alkitab dengan keyakinan. Saat kita membacanya, kita tidak sedang membaca cerita buatan, tetapi firman Tuhan yang benar dan kokoh.Wonder Kids, hari ini lakukan ini: Coba kerjakan satu tugas kecil hari ini dengan sungguh-sungguh dan teliti, lalu katakan dalam hatimu, “Tuhan, aku mau setia juga dalam hal-hal kecil.”Mari kita berdoa: Tuhan, terima kasih karena firman-Mu benar dan dapat dipercaya. Tolong aku untuk menghargai hal-hal kecil dan belajar setia seperti yang Engkau kehendaki. Dalam nama Tuhan Yesus aku berdoa, Amin.Wonder Kids, ingatlah: Tuhan yang benar dalam hal-hal besar juga benar dalam hal-hal kecil, jadi firman-Nya selalu dapat dipercaya. Tuhan Yesus memberkati.

In this conversation with Richard Beck, author of The Book of Love, we explore what it actually means to read Scripture through the hermeneutic of love. Richard helps us see that we have to reckon with our attachment to God - whether we actually believe he's for us - because that fear or security shapes everything about how we read. We get into the violent texts of the Old Testament, why both conservatives and progressives have their own blind spots, how the Bible raises hard questions, and what seeing the cross through a hermeneutic of love looks like.Richard Beck is professor of psychology at Abilene Christian University in Abilene, Texas, where he also lives. He is a popular blogger and speaker and the author of several books, most recently The Shape of Joy and The Book of Love. His published research also covers topics as diverse as the psychology of profanity and why Christian bookstore art is so bad. Beck leads a Bible study each week for inmates at a maximum-security prison.Richard's Book:The Book of LoveRichard's Recommendations:What it Means to be ProtestantConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@shiftingculturepodcast.comGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

Something interesting is happening in how people raise meat birds right now, and most of it is barely talked about.Many of the conversations still center on inputs. What feed to buy, how to reduce cost, what's “better” or “cleaner.” But underneath that, there's a different question we keep asking.What if we stop treating feed as a fixed cost and start treating it as the foundation for better health?Now, it's not every day you're scrolling through TikTok nonsense, and something actually makes you go, “whoa…”I was doing what a lot of folks do. Half paying attention, flipping through videos, not expecting to find anything useful. And then I came across a clip of someone feeding chicks that made me pause and look again.My first instinct was to map it onto what I already know. Assume I understood what was happening. But I've learned that's usually where you get it wrong. So instead of projecting, I asked a question.And that's where things started to open up.It was very clear that this wasn't just another backyard chicken keeper doing the same thing as everyone else…parroting others and rebranding it as if they came up with the idea.If you've been around poultry long enough, you know the pattern. Chicken keepers are dependent on buying something that we have little control over, at a price we basically have to accept.And most setups reflect that. You can see it in the inputs and the way people talk about feed.When I went to look at the video owner's profile, that's what I expected to see. But that's not what I saw. Instead, what kept showing up was a system that didn't look like it was built around purchased feed at all. It looked like something else was doing the heavy lifting.A lot of chicken keepers have experimented with sprouting at some point. Most try it briefly and move on because it feels inconsistent or like more work than it's worth. It gets treated as a supplement, something extra you might do if you have the time.That's not what I saw in the first video or in the others I went through.This was integrated into the core feeding strategy. And more importantly, it was producing outcomes that most people claim can only be done in large houses using the calculations set by big producers.About Jessica JacksonOn TikTok, she goes by @kjjacksonnaturals and she raises chickens in West Texas. She runs her setup mostly on her own, bringing in help when it's time to process birds for the Abilene farmers market. She didn't start with broilers. Like many people, she started with laying hens and began experimenting with sprouting grains in 2013. Over the past four years, she's applied that same approach to broilers and turkeys, building a system around it rather than treating it as a supplement.And when you hear what's coming from her farm, it makes sense.Why This Matters for Broiler ProducersIf you're trying to grow out meat birds right now, you're probably feeling some version of the same pressure most producers are.Feed costs fluctuate, your margins get thinner and thinner, and every decision starts to feel reactive.What Jessica is doing points to a different approach.Instead of treating feed as a fixed expense to be managed, it becomes part of the production system itself. Something you can influence, rather than something you're always responding to.That doesn't remove the work needed to raise healthy animals. But it does change the equation and shifts where the work happens.When you start producing even some of your feed, you gain control over variables that once seemed fixed, which makes planning easier.Common Misconception About SproutingOne reason most people don't take sprouting seriously is that they don't stick with it long enough to see what it actually does.A mason jar here. A bucket there. Something added in as a treat rather than built into a system.When it's approached that way, it's impossible to see clear results. It's like eating a salad once in a blue moon and thinking your health will magically get better.If you're looking for a way to grow out meat birds more consistently, or you're trying to source locally raised chicken that isn't dependent on the same feed model as everyone else, this is worth paying attention to.Listen in and decide for yourself what happens when a small poultry producer trades conventional wisdom for applied biology.Guest LinksTikTok · https://www.tiktok.com/@kjjacksonnaturalsFacebook · https://www.facebook.com/people/KJ-Jackson-Naturals/100090537535989Follow & LearnSubstack · https://thinkingoutsidethesoil.substack.comBlooming Health Farms · https://www.bloominghealthfarms.comPaperback · https://amzn.to/4ppht4qAudiobook · https://amzn.to/3zr4x5SChicken Crack BlendApple Podcasts · https://is.gd/UG2E5XSpotify · https://is.gd/2xTdcMInstagram · https://www.instagram.com/seany_alfalfaseedTikTok · https://www.tiktok.com/@bloominghealthfarmsProgramsRent The Chicken · https://is.gd/n1fVy2Hatch The Chicken · https://is.gd/nFfiDr Get full access to Thinking Outside The Soil at thinkingoutsidethesoil.substack.com/subscribe

If you picked it up, a blue pay phone with the sign ‘Call a Democrat' in the conservative city of Abilene, Texas would ring.

At eleven years old, she chose to sleep in the cellar of her great-grandmother's house—unaware she was stepping into a space that was already occupied. What followed wasn't a single haunting, but a relationship: a drowned woman named Anne, a colder figure who touched and shook the bed, and a growing sense that the house was reacting to her presence.Years later, after moving back to Abilene with her fiancé, the activity returned—stronger, more physical, and no longer limited to familiar spirits. When a protective family pendant vanished, something else arrived. Something that crawled instead of walked.

No new episode this week due to some unexpected conflicts, but since we're celebrating classic western movies, here's a collection of western tales from "radio's outstanding theater of thrills!" Alan Ladd hunts for his brother's murderer in "A Killing in Abilene" (originally aired on CBS on December 14, 1950). Then, Richard Widmark fights a bloody feud in "The Hunting of Bob Lee" (originally aired on CBS on October 29, 1951) and he tracks a deadly panther through the snow in "The Track of the Cat" (originally aired on CBS on February 18, 1952). Frank Lovejoy stars as one of the west's most infamous gunslingers in "The Shooting of Billy the Kid" (originally aired on CBS on April 28, 1952) and Richard Widmark returns - this time as another notorious outlaw - in "The Spencer Brothers" (originally aired on CBS on January 26, 1953). Finally, Victor Mature stars as a legendary bandit in "The Love and Death of Joaquin Murietta" (originally aired on CBS on February 16, 1953).

We're spending the winter out west with classic western movies and their stars in January. First up is Shane, the story of a gunfighter who tries to turn over a new leaf but has to fall back on his trade when his newfound family is threatened. We'll hear the two lead actors - Alan Ladd and Van Heflin - in Suspense shows as well as a radio recreation of the movie. First, Heflin is a reporter who receives an invitation from a murderer in "The Lady in the Red Hat" (originally aired on CBS on November 30, 1950). Then, Ladd stars in a tale of revenge from the old west in "A Killing in Abilene" (originally aired on CBS on December 14, 1950). Finally, both men reunite as The Lux Radio Theatre presents "Shane" (AFRS rebroadcast of a show from February 22, 1955).
