    God And Our Dogs - Dwaine Rivers 6-20-26

    Join host Meg Grier on God and Our Dogs as she interviews Dwaine Rivers of the Rivers Team with Phyllis Browning. Dwaine shares an incredible 12-day journey of faith, persistence, and divine intervention when his daughter's Australian Shepherd, Raya, went missing on her wedding day in Bay City, Texas. This heartwarming story demonstrates how God's fingerprints appear in unexpected places - from a traumatic storm that caused Raya to escape, to an entire community rallying together in prayer and search efforts. Despite crossing busy highways and navigating railroad tracks and canals, Raya was miraculously protected for nearly two weeks. The turning point came through divine guidance from an animal behaviorist who advised a simple but profound approach: just sit quietly with another familiar dog. Within 10 minutes, Raya emerged from the woods, completely healthy. This powerful metaphor reminds us how God patiently waits for us, and sometimes the best way to help those who are lost is simply to be present. Key Takeaways: Faith and persistence in the face of overwhelming odds The power of community support and prayer Trusting expert guidance even when it doesn't make sense God's protection and perfect timing Lessons about approaching lost friends with patience and presence About Dwaine Rivers: Real estate expert with 40+ years of experience, award-winning horseman, community leader, and devoted dog lover with the Rivers Team. 0:00 - Introduction to God and Our Dogs podcast 1:04 - Meet Dwaine Rivers - real estate expert and dog lover 1:49 - The Rivers family: from 10 dogs down to 6 2:15 - The wedding day crisis begins 3:07 - Raya escapes during a storm in Bay City, Texas 3:54 - The groom's remarkable decision at noon 4:36 - Wedding proceeds despite the crisis 4:55 - Bay City community mobilizes in prayer and search 5:15 - Raya spotted across town - crossing railroad tracks and canals 5:58 - Animal behaviorist explains traumatized dog behavior 6:21 - 12 days of searching and divine protection 6:30 - Raya crosses 4-lane highway multiple times unharmed 7:13 - The solution: Dakota, the familiar friend dog 7:38 - Miracle moment: Raya emerges in less than 10 minutes 8:21 - Found 100% healthy after 12 days 8:42 - Lessons about not giving up 9:24 - Priorities: marriage first, then continuing the search 10:54 - Following expert advice that didn't make sense 11:42 - Bay City celebrates - local newspaper covers the story 12:01 - About the Rivers Team real estate services 12:43 - Thought to "paw-nder": being present for neighbors in need 13:34 - Closing and how to connect Host:  Meg Grier - Stories@GodAndOurDogs.com Website:  www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100072683640098  God and Our Dogs airs every Saturday at 11:15am on Boerne Radio 103.9FM - www.boerneradio.com.

    GAOD - Veronica Brown DAS FESTIVAL 6-13-26

    Host Meg Grier sits down with Veronica Brown — owner of the popular Bernie Bar Salvador Dobbs and Marketing & Advertising Director for DAS Festival — to talk about the beloved Dachshund Races at DAS Festival in Boerne, TX. From hilarious stories of dachshunds refusing to run (or running the wrong way), to heartwarming moments of dogs finally spotting their owners at the finish line, this episode is full of laughs and unexpected spiritual insights. Meg draws connections between the Dachshund races and life's journey with God — from Romans 5:3-5 on endurance and hope, to 1 Corinthians 9 on running with purpose. 🎯 In this episode: What DAS Festival is and when it takes place (Father's Day Weekend, June 19–21, 2026) Behind-the-scenes stories from the Dachshund Races Tips for training your dachshund to race How to volunteer or sponsor DAS Festival Spiritual reflections on running the race of life Podcast Show Notes / Summary: Episode: Dachshund Races, DAS Festival & Running the Race of Life Guest: Veronica Brown, DAS Festival Marketing Director & Owner of Salvador Dobbs In this episode, host Meg Greer welcomes Veronica Brown to talk about the Dachshund Races at DAS Festival — a Father's Day Weekend celebration in Boerne, TX (June 19–21, 2026). Veronica shares funny and heartwarming stories from the races, including dachshunds that refused to move, ran the wrong way, or — in one memorable online video — knocked competitors out of the race one by one before winning. Meg weaves these dog race stories into spiritual reflections: like us, dogs sometimes freeze at the starting line, head the wrong direction, or get distracted. But with patience, love, and the right motivation, they find their way to the finish. Scripture references include Romans 5:3–5 (suffering produces endurance, endurance produces character, character produces hope) and 1 Corinthians 9 (not running aimlessly). Tips for racing your dachshund: Practice at home with distractions, use a unique command or whistle, and bring treats!
