Episode Description

This week we sit down with Nancy Dunn of Rolling D Ranch in Eclectic, Alabama to trace a legacy built on grit, family, and a lifelong love of Texas Longhorns. Nancy opens the gate to her program’s history—how it started, what’s shaped it over the years, and the values that still guide every pairing on the ranch today.

We talk about her well-known cattle, including Dunn Lucky Dice, and the traits she insists on keeping front and center: correctness, longevity, and a calm, workable disposition. Nancy also shares timeless insight for both new and seasoned breeders—how to evaluate cattle with clear eyes, avoid common traps, keep learning from the community, and stay dedicated to the breed through the ups and downs. It’s a conversation full of heart, hard-won lessons, and the kind of perspective you only earn by living the Longhorn life, day after day.

Posture Check! Hogan Veserat The Posture Check covers all the tools, tips, and tricks I wish I knew when I was an 18-year-old freshman in college. In interviews, longer explorations, or quick rants, I discuss everything from the pillars of manhood, to growth and development, to tips on leadership, and beyond. TL;DR I want to help you make the most of your transition from adolescence to manhood. Tune in and I’ll catch you on the Posture Check! The Gospel Underground Podcast Reid S. Monaghan, Jesse Furey The great prophet Bob Dylan once echoed in a new cultural moment by declaring, "the times they are a changing." Change is rapid, constant, complex and nuanced in the way peoples and cultures are shaped. In our world many ideologies, views of the world, and understandings of reality are pitched and pivoted all around us using various methods of communication and technologies. People are shouting to be heard yet seem more separated than ever. The Gospel Underground seeks to be a dialogue taking place in the borderlands between the church and culture. People who have heard the call of Jesus have a distinct nature and existence in the world. They also need to have a distinct posture among others and the various perspectives held in our world. We hope to contribute to the conversation between people who are far from God, sought out by God and seeking God in various ways. Our hope is to have a posture of humility and service as we engage ideas in an entertaining and thoughtful way.
