    Three oilfield professionals tackle winning with grace through sports, business, and Biblical wisdom.

    God’s justice hits different when you start looking at it through the lens of real life, and the crew gets into it by breaking down what “vengeance is the Lord’s” actually means when the world feels upside down.
