the horrifying Texas floods | BDE 07.10.25

The Texas floods hit hard, and this episode gets real about what that looked like on the ground. We talk about the heartbreaking moments, the lives forever changed, and the absolute guts shown by folks who stepped up when it mattered most, like camp counselors risking it all to save kids. It’s a raw and personal look at what those camps along the Guadalupe mean to so many of us, and how this community showed up with grit and grace in the face of tragedy.
