Woodlands Winners: Stallion Announcement Another big week of results for the Woodlands stallions, with winners right across Australia and at Winton in New Zealand. The 2026/27 stallion roster has been released, and the boys break down the lineups on both sides of the ditch.

In this episode of Practically Pastoring, Andrew, Tim, Delmar, and Jeff tackle two questions that seem unrelated at first, but both get at the heart of pastoral health and long-term sustainability in ministry. The first question comes from a pastor who took a new associate role in a new state and is finding that while family life is going well, church life feels flat, disconnected, and hard to love. The guys talk through what to do when nothing is technically wrong, but something still feels off, and whether six months is enough time to know if a ministry fit is bad or just still developing. The conversation explores the difficulty of evaluating “vibes” when there is no obvious scandal, conflict, or doctrinal problem, only a nagging sense that the church feels bland and community is hard to find. Along the way, the guys discuss transition lag, projecting expectations from previous ministry settings, the unique challenge of associate pastor roles, and why the fact that a pastor's wife and kids are thriving should carry real weight in the evaluation. They also reflect on how friendships outside the church staff can become a lifeline in seasons when ministry itself feels isolating. In the second half of the episode, the focus shifts to vacation, time off, and whether churches actually create space for their pastors to rest. The guys compare different church approaches to vacation policies, sabbaticals, sabbatic Sundays, carryover days, and the difference between what is written on paper and what the culture of a church really encourages. The big takeaway is that healthy churches do not just offer time off, they create an atmosphere where pastors can actually use it without guilt or suspicion. This episode is a reminder that ministry health is rarely built on one dramatic decision. More often, it comes from honest evaluation, healthy rhythms, realistic expectations, and the willingness to address small issues before they become larger ones. If the church feels off, if the culture around rest feels strange, or if your soul is tired, those things are worth paying attention to before they harden into burnout. What we cover in this episodeHow to evaluate a ministry role when nothing is wrong but it still feels offWhy six months may be too early for panic, but not too early for honest reflectionHow transition lag and past ministry experiences can shape the way a new church feelsWhy a healthy family situation should matter in decisions about staying or leavingThe importance of finding community outside your immediate church staffWhy vacation policies need to be clear, written, and actually usableHow church culture can either support rest or quietly punish itWhat sabbaticals, sabbatic Sundays, and strategic time off can look like in real churchesWhy pastoral endurance requires more than just gritting your teeth and survivingSponsors mentionedChurch MerchMerch for your church, including shirts, mugs, speakers, banners, and more through Promotions GuyPreach26A conference for pastors and ministry leaders, October 6 to 8 in The Woodlands, Texas, featuring speakers like Dane Ortlund, Brian McCormick, Hakeem Bradley, and more.

Susan has been connected to The Rose since the mid-1980s, when her boss at Texas Commerce Bank handed her a stack of newspaper articles and asked her to learn everything she could about a surgeon named Dr. Dixie Melillo. That assignment turned into a decades-long relationship with The Rose, years of emceeing fundraising style shows, and an unbroken commitment to the mission that continues today. She launched the Louise McBee Circle of Life Circle of Wreaths, an annual wreath auction run entirely by Art Park Players volunteers in honor of her mother. Her message throughout the years is simple, yet profound: everyone carries a light, and even the smallest flame can be the brightest thing in someone's darkest moment.

Key Questions Answered 1. How did Susan's relationship with The Rose begin, and what role did Dr. Dixie Melillo play in building it? 2. What did The Rose's full continuum of care look like for Susan's mother after a breast cancer diagnosis in 1993? 3. How does The Rose support patients beyond surgery, including wigs, prosthetics, and emotional follow-through? 4. What is the Louise McBee Circle of Life Circle of Wreaths and why did Susan start it? 5. How have Art Park Players volunteers sustained a community fundraiser for The Rose since 2001? 6. What is Art Park Players, and how does it serve children, families, and volunteers across the Houston area? 7. How does community word-of-mouth and sustained volunteer loyalty fuel The Rose's mission year after year? 8. Why does Susan send both insured and uninsured women to The Rose, and why does that distinction matter for the organization's funding? 9. How does a small annual fundraiser like a wreath auction contribute meaningfully to The Rose's operating budget? 10. What advice does Susan offer to people who feel their contribution is too small to matter? 11. How does Susan connect her work at Art Park Players with the same values of service, dignity, and community that drive The Rose? Timestamped Overview 00:00 Dorothy introduces Susan Mele: 45 years with Art Park Players, decades of Rose support, her mother's breast cancer journey with Dr. Melillo, and the annual wreath fundraiser named in her mother's honor. 00:52 Dorothy delivers the episode CTA: share this episode and donate at therose.org. 01:38 Dorothy asks Susan to start with herself. Susan describes a lifelong passion for performing, being adopted at 16 days old, and parents who nurtured her drive while grounding her in service and faith. 02:50 Dorothy asks how Susan first learned about The Rose. 02:55 Susan describes working for Tom Watson at Texas Commerce Bank in the mid-1980s. He had her clip every newspaper article she could find about Dr. Dixie Melillo, which led to Dixie joining the bank's board of directors and Susan meeting both Dorothy and Dixie. 03:29 Dorothy notes this connection goes back to 1986 or 1987. 03:47 Susan reflects on what drew her in: the compassion she saw in Dorothy and Dixie, and the contrast between how cancer was perceived in the 1980s and what The Rose was actually doing for women. 05:01 Dorothy recalls The Rose's earliest survivor volunteers and the environment Dixie created, including the time they could not say the word "breast" on television or radio. 05:44 Dorothy asks if breast cancer has touched Susan personally. 05:47 Susan describes her mother's 1993 breast cancer diagnosis. She brought her immediately to Dr. Melillo and The Rose. 06:20 Susan describes her mother's treatment: mastectomy on one side, lumpectomy on the other. Her mother declined reconstructive surgery and was afraid of hair loss. 06:55 Susan describes The Rose's follow-through after surgery: a referral to a wig specialist, fittings for prosthetic breasts and special bras, and ongoing mental and emotional support. Her mother survived. 08:02 Dorothy asks whether that experience deepened Susan's involvement with The Rose. 09:09 Susan describes how the Style Shows worked: store fittings, themed productions, silent auctions, and a community turnout that she believes turned many attendees into lifelong Rose supporters. 10:08 Dorothy asks Susan to recall a favorite Style Show moment. Both remember the 1960s hippie theme as particularly memorable. 11:56 Susan reflects on how events like the Style Show built lasting community investment in The Rose. 12:31 Dorothy asks Susan to talk about Art Park Players. 14:38 Susan describes joining in 1980 as a volunteer vocal coach, working for seven years without pay, then moving to part-time work at $6.50 an hour. She recognized her true calling was not performing but watching children find their voices and confidence. 15:01 Susan describes Art Park Players today: 250 students per semester, the largest children's theater in the city, the largest volunteer base in Deer Park, a Carnival Cruise performance group, a competition troupe through Theater Network of Texas, and scholarship and internship programs. 17:23 Susan describes fundraising within the theater: raising money for student travel, competitions, scholarships, and a private donor who quietly funds costumes and tuition for children whose families cannot afford them. 18:32 Susan reflects on being asked by Sue Finley Myers to carry on the mission when she retired. 18:55 Dorothy asks if students must be Deer Park residents. Susan says no, and describes students traveling from Humble, Cypress, Clear Lake, the Woodlands, and Friendswood. 20:19 Susan confirms Art Park Players is still a dinner theater and the only full year-round dinner theater in the Houston area. She shares that food brings in the husbands. 20:45 Dorothy asks Susan to describe the annual Rose fundraiser. 20:52 Susan describes the origin of the wreath auction: in 2001, volunteers wanted to do something meaningful and creative for The Rose. Inspired by a Circle of Trees event she had helped organize, she proposed handmade wreaths, a never-ending circle with symbolic meaning. 22:52 Susan explains the format: a fall wreath auction for show audiences and a Christmas wreath auction for theater families. Anyone can donate a wreath, and the offerings have grown to include wooden signs, stands, and centerpieces. 24:11 Dorothy confirms the event happens in fall and at Christmas. 24:20 Susan describes a piece made by a longtime volunteer woodworker that now sits in The Rose's lobby, bearing her mother's name. She says friends who come to The Rose for mammograms send her photos of it. 26:36 Susan says the Louise McBee Circle of Life Circle of Wreaths will continue as long as she is alive, regardless of the dollar amount raised. 26:53 Dorothy notes the fundraiser has now run for over 24 years. 27:07 Susan points out that Art Park Players was involved with The Rose even before 2001, through the Style Show partnership in the 1990s, totaling well over three decades of support. 27:33 Dorothy asks Susan's favorite Art Park production. 29:43 Dorothy closes the interview and reflects on the richness of Susan's story. 30:50 Susan shares her final message: everyone is valuable, everyone is worthy, and everyone carries a light. No matter how small the flame, it can be the brightest thing in someone's darkest moment, and that light is hope.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Every landowner has a vision for what their property can become, but turning that vision into reality takes planning, persistence, and a willingness to adapt. On this episode of Land & Legacy, Chad and Adam sit down to discuss some of the most successful habitat projects completed on their farm, Whistling Woodlands, and the lessons learned along the way. From establishing diverse native grass plantings that provide critical bedding, nesting cover, and year-round wildlife habitat to developing productive annual forage pastures that benefit both livestock and wildlife, this episode highlights how intentional land management can create multiple returns from the same acres. Chad and Adam break down the planning process, site preparation, species selection, and management techniques that have led to successful outcomes on their property. The conversation also explores how these projects have improved soil health, increased carrying capacity, enhanced wildlife use, and created a more resilient landscape. Whether you're managing a small hunting property or a large working farm, the principles discussed can help you maximize the potential of your land while balancing conservation and production goals.

In this episode of Practically Pastoring, Andrew, Tim, and Jeff tackle two ministry questions that hit both structure and soul. First, they dig into church constitutions and bylaws, especially what happens when a church's governing documents were written for an earlier season and now create real bottlenecks for staffing, leadership, and growth. The conversation explores the difference between governance and management, why churches need to follow the bylaws they have before changing them, and how clear communication with the congregation can turn a frustrating process into a healthy teaching moment. From there, the guys shift to a question many pastors feel but do not always know how to answer: how do you actually find your people in ministry? If everyone says not to do ministry alone, what do you do when you feel isolated, younger than everyone else in town, and unsure where to start? The discussion gets practical about building friendships on purpose, reaching out before burnout hits, and letting go of the idea that your ministry friends have to be perfect personality matches or exact ministry clones. Along the way, the episode offers a helpful reminder that healthy ministry needs both strong systems and real relationships. You can have polished documents and still burn out in isolation, or great friendships and still get tripped up by unclear structures. Faithful ministry requires both clarity and companionship. What we cover in this episodeHow to know when bylaws are protecting the church and when they are paralyzing itWhy churches should distinguish between major governance decisions and day-to-day ministry managementHow to approach bylaw revisions without ignoring the process already in placeWhy communication and vision-casting matter when changing governing documentsHow isolation in ministry often persists because pastors wait too long to build friendshipsWhy your people do not have to be your age, your denomination, or your exact ministry roleSimple first steps for building real ministry friendships this weekWhy “don't do ministry alone” requires intention, not just agreementSponsors mentioned #sponsoredChurch MerchFor mugs, shirts, banners, stickers, and more for your church.

In this episode, hosts Steven Stout, FASAE, CAE sits down with Erika Boyd, president & CEO of the Texas Travel Alliance, for a conversation about leadership, mentorship, and the unexpected paths that often lead people into the association world. Boyd reflects on her “fall-in” journey into associations after responding to a newspaper ad, and how her career evolved from communications and advocacy into executive leadership, with the COVID-19 pandemic accelerating her transition into the CEO role. Along the way, she shares lessons learned from mentors and contrasting leadership styles, emphasizing the importance of empowering teams, trusting employees, and supporting professional growth opportunities. The conversation also explores the broader impact of travel and tourism as both a storytelling industry and a major economic driver that touches countless connected sectors. Boyd discusses how tourism often serves as an early indicator of consumer sentiment and why authentic, in-person experiences continue to matter in both travel and associations. Steven and Erika also highlight the upcoming LeadHERship Live event, taking place June 9–10 in The Woodlands, a joint initiative designed to inspire, connect, and support women leaders across the travel and association communities. This episode is sponsored by Visit Lubbock.  Better by Association is produced by Association Briefings.

Where Dave, Whitney, and Doug celebrate the final episode of Cabin Conversations by reflecting on Whitney's 12+ year journey at Woodlands Church and the transformative power of Christ-centered community. They explore how relationships shape us slowly over time, why we need community before trials come, and what makes Woodlands such a healthy church culture. The conversation touches on upcoming changes at the church, the importance of small groups (while acknowledging they're not the only path to community), and favorite moments from five seasons of podcasting. Whether you're in vocational ministry or simply seeking deeper connections, they remind us that gathering around Scripture with people isn't complicated—it just takes intentionality.

The second golf major championship of the year will tee-off Thursday at Aronimink Golf Club near Philadelphia.  In 1962, the PGA Championship was played on this same golf course. Future Hall-of-Famer Gary Player won that year with a 2-under par total. Aronimink Golf Club was designed by the legendary Donald Ross and completed in 1928.  The superb layout has been stretched to well over 7,300 yards and will play as a par 70. Though Gary Player’s total of 2-under par total was a reasonable score in his day, don’t be surprised if this year’s winner is at least 15-under par.  Today’s vastly improved golf equipment and balls are turning classic layouts such as Aronimink Golf Club into glorified drive, pitch, and putt tournaments. The PGA Championship features a large field of 156 golfers.  That total includes 20 PGA club professionals who earned their way into this week’s tournament by finishing in the top 20 at a recent PGA club professional qualifying event. Much like The Masters, past winners of the PGA Championship are allowed to participate in this event for as many years as the golfer desires to compete. This weekend’s weather forecast looks delightful. Abundant sunshine with moderate temperatures in the 70’s will slowly increase into the middle 80’s by Sunday.  The benign weather conditions will likely create a Philly birdie festival. The PGA Championship has produced a number of champions who “came out of nowhere” to win their one and only professional major in this event. Of the four golf major events, the PGA Championship has produced a large number of surprise winners in recent decades. Let’s review some of those one-and-done major winners and, later, try to identify a few underdogs to win this year’s PGA Championship. Rich Beem – 2002 – Hazeltine (MN) 10-under par Then:  Rich Beem was fortunate just to have a PGA Tour playing card entering 2002.  He played well during the opening three rounds and trailed third round leader Justin Leonard by three shots entering Sunday’s final 18 holes.  Tiger Woods also charged up the final round leaderboard on Sunday to post a 67 and apply some serious pressure.  Rich Beem was able to hang on with a final round 68 to win by one shot over Woods. Now:  The 55-year old Rich Beem will not be playing in this week’s PGA Championship.  In recent years, Beem has been doing golf commentary for Sky Sports.  He has not appeared recently on either the PGA or Champions (Senior) golf tours. Shaun Micheel – 2003 – Oak Hill (NY) 3-under par Then:  You may remember that Shaun Micheel hit the 7-iron of his lifetime on the 72nd hole at Oak Hill in Rochester, NY in 2003 to win the 27-pound Wanamaker trophy.  That was Micheel’s lone PGA Tour victory during a lengthy professional career.  He would often finish in the top ten, though.  Shaun Micheel recently admitted that he struggled for many years by putting too much pressure on himself to perform well on the golf course.  Micheel lamented, “I played every shot like it was life or death.” Now:  The 57-year old Shaun Micheel plays in a few PGA Champions Tour events each season.  As a past PGA Championship winner, he will be in Philadelphia and plans to tee-it up on Thursday. Y. E. Yang – 2009 – Hazeltine (MN) 8-under par Then:  South Korean Y. E. Yang’s victory at the 2009 PGA Championship was memorable for two big reasons.  He became the first Asian-born golfer to win a major men’s golf championship.  Yang also gained worldwide notoriety by rallying in the final round to win by three shots over a highly-favored golfer named Tiger Woods. Now:  The 54-year old Y. E. Yang remains active in professional golf.  He just finished in 14th place at last weekend’s PGA Champions Tour event in The Woodlands, Texas.  He has posted seven top 25 finishes this season on the senior tour.  Yang, like Shaun Micheel, will be playing in this week’s PGA Championship field on Thursday.  Y.E. Yang will be trying to make his first cut at the PGA Championship since the year 2015. Jason Dufner – 2013 – Oak Hill (NY) 10-under par Then:  Former Auburn University college golfer Jason Dufner had already won twice on the men’s tour coming into the 2013 PGA Championship in Rochester, New York.  The laid-back Dufner grabbed a two shot lead over Jim Furyk entering the final nine holes in Sunday’s final round. That  duo battled back and forth over the closing holes.  Dufner held on to claim the only major championship of his career. Now:  The 49-year old Jason Dufner has won five times on the PGA Tour.  This year, he has played in only three PGA Tour events (missing the cut each time) prior to this week’s PGA Championship.  You may remember that Jason Dufner gained a different type of national notoriety during the spring of 2013.  At a Dallas-area PGA publicity event, Dufner appeared before a group of elementary school children.  While the teacher was busy talking (and talking), Dufner was photographed sitting on the floor alongside some of the kids.  He appeared in the picture to be slumped over in a rather relaxed, sleepy posture. The term “Dufnering” was born.  “Dufnering” became even more popular among golfers a few months later after the ultra laid-back Jason Dufner won the 2013 PGA Championship. Jimmy Walker – 2016 – Baltusrol (NJ) – 14-under par Then:  Jimmy Walker took the lead at the 2016 PGA Championship with a blistering five-under par 65 in Round 1.  He would play well in each day of the tournament.  Walker posted a wire-to-wire victory and held off a fast-closing Jason Day.  It was Jimmy Walker’s first and only major championship title. It was also his last win on the PGA Tour through this week. Now:  At age 47, Jimmy Walker is no longer playing regularly on the PGA Tour.  After his 2016 win at the PGA Championship, Walker went hunting with some friends.  Upon returning home, his health began to deteriorate.  Jimmy Walker told a reporter that he had contracted Lyme disease (generally transmitted by ticks).  His recovery was extremely difficult and very slow.  Walker’s return to professional golf was hampered by newfound difficulties with his chipping and putting games.  Nevertheless, Jimmy Walker is expected to be in the field on Thursday at Aronimink Golf Club. Could there be another underdog winner at this week’s 2026 PGA Championship? Absolutely!  Here are four golfers seeking their first major title and not receiving a lot of pre-tournament love from the media pundits this week.  I will also provide a fifth undervalued golfer looking to break into the winner’s column again this week with the 2026 PGA Championship title.   Sam Burns – The former Shreveport resident is one of the tour’s finest putters. If Sam Burns can keep the ball in play off the tee this week, he is quite capable of shooting some very low scores and winning his first major. Thomas Detry – This 33-year old Belgian golfer plays on the LIV Golf Tour. He just posted a solid sixth place finish last weekend.  That golf course in northern Virginia is very similar to this week’s layout at Aronimink. Anthony Kim – Another LIV golfer who is coming off a hot finish last weekend in Virginia. Kim shot a closing round of 10-under par 62 to post another top ten finish. Brandt Snedeker – The 45-year old just won in Myrtle Beach last weekend for his first PGA win in nearly eight years. When you’re hot, you’re hot, right? Jordan Spieth – OK, I admit it.  I would LOVE to see Jordan Spieth find a way to win this weekend.  He hasn’t won a PGA Tour event since 2022. More importantly, Spieth would finally complete golf’s career Grand Slam (The Masters, US Open, The (British) Open, and, finally, the PGA Championship) with a victory on Sunday afternoon.

Where Dave, Whitney, and soon-to-be-retired executive pastor David Hansen process what it means to finish well after a decade of faithful service. They explore David's journey from AECOM to Woodlands, the gift of equipping saints for service (Ephesians 4), and why he knew it was time to step away—not from discouragement, but from wisdom about energy and calling. The conversation digs into Woodlands' church multiplication vision, emphasizing that it's not just about planting buildings but mobilizing the entire church to be "dots" of Jesus' presence wherever God has placed them. David shares why he's excited to step into retirement while remaining part of the congregation, and they discuss the importance of grace-filled transitions, knowing people's names, and actually listening to their stories.

We just broke down IRONMAN Texas live in The Woodlands.

What do you do when the career you've spent decades building disappears overnight? In this episode of Level Up + Live, Jeffrey Brown shares a powerful and deeply personal story of disruption, resilience, and reinvention. After more than 20 years in the software industry, leading teams, managing complex projects, and building a stable career, Jeffrey found himself suddenly laid off during the uncertainty of COVID. What followed was another opportunity that ultimately collapsed, leaving him at a crossroads with limited options and a difficult question: what now? Rather than returning to the same path, Jeffrey chose to step into something completely different. At 50 years old, he made the decision to pursue business ownership, launching The Grout Medic of The Woodlands, Texas. With no direct background in the industry, he leaned on his problem-solving mindset, leadership experience, and a willingness to learn as he began building a local, service-based business from the ground up. This conversation goes far beyond entrepreneurship. It offers an honest look at what it means to start over later in life, to carry the responsibility of leading a team, and to navigate the uncertainty that comes with building something new while supporting a family. Jeffrey opens up about the emotional weight of career loss, the pressure of providing for employees who depend on him, and the reality of wearing multiple roles as a business owner, from operations and sales to marketing and customer service. He also shares how his perspective on leadership has evolved, especially in transitioning from managing corporate teams to leading individuals in a hands-on service environment. Throughout the episode, themes of patience, consistency, and personal growth take center stage. Jeffrey reflects on the importance of slowing down, making thoughtful decisions, and staying committed even when progress feels uncertain. He also highlights the critical role of communication and customer experience in building trust and long-term success in a local business. Beyond business, this episode explores what truly matters in this season of life. Jeffrey speaks about family, the transition toward becoming an empty nester, and the legacy he hopes to leave for his children, not just in terms of business, but in how he lives, leads, and shows up each day with integrity and purpose. In this episode, you'll learn: How to navigate the emotional and practical challenges of losing a long-term career What it takes to transition from corporate leadership to entrepreneurship The realities of starting and scaling a service-based business Why patience is a critical skill in both leadership and growth How to create a strong customer experience through communication and follow-through The importance of consistency when building something sustainable How to balance business ownership with family priorities and long-term legacy This episode is a reminder that setbacks can become turning points, and that it's never too late to build something meaningful. Whether you are facing a transition, exploring entrepreneurship, or simply looking for perspective on growth and leadership, Jeffrey's story offers both insight and encouragement. If you've been looking for a room full of growth-minded business owners and leaders who are serious about leveling up in business and life, we'd love to have you join us as a guest.

Severe weather is a fact of life in Kentucky, with tornadoes being one of the most dangerous—and misunderstood—threats we face. In this episode, Matt Dixon, senior meteorologist with the UK Ag Weather Center, breaks down the basics of tornadoes, explaining how tornadoes form, what conditions are right for their development, and what the Fujita (EF) Scale really means when we hear tornado ratings like EF-2 or EF-4. While on the topic of tornadoes, Matt also discusses common tornado myths, including the dangerous belief that taking shelter under highway overpasses is safe. Matt explains why some long‑held assumptions about tornado safety can put people in danger instead.   Also on tap: the Kentucky Division of Forestry's Tornado Strike Team plays a critical role in helping woodland owners assess storm-related damage. Forest landowners, homeowners, and municipalities or communities impacted by the December 2021 tornadoes can access technical forestry assistance and additional forestry services through this team. 4.8.26   For more episodes of From the Woods Today, visit https://forestry.ca.uky.edu/woods-today.

Our guest this week on The Working Songwriter hails from The Woodlands, Texas. Hayes Carll is a singer, songwriter, and storyteller whose sharp wit and plainspoken poetry first broke through with his 2002 debut, 'Flowers & Liquor.' That was followed by 2008's 'Trouble in Mind,' which delivered the hit "She Left Me for Jesus" and cemented his place among the genre's most distinctive voices. Carll has toured with artists like Old Crow Medicine Show, Todd Snider, and Alison Krauss and his songs have been covered by Miranda Lambert, Lee Ann Womack, and Kenny Chesney. He's recorded for Lost Highway, Dualtone, and Thirty Tigers and he's performed on stages from Newport Folk Festival to Austin City Limits and the Grand Ole Opry. 'Rolling Stone' praises his work for its "razor-sharp wit and lived-in warmth," while NPR notes his "keen eye for the human condition wrapped in disarming charm." 'American Songwriter' calls him "one of Americana's most reliable truth-tellers." Our show's most frequent guest pops by to discuss his latest album "We're Only Human" and finding a creative voice that's more true to himself.   Interested in sponsoring us?
