    Oilfield Assembly Podcast: Episode 19 - Data Centers in Texas & The Kingdom Period of the Bible

    Joseph, Talor, and Lonnie discuss Texas Tech's athletic dominance across football, basketball, and more while celebrating Baron Morton's undefeated season and Joey McGuire's culture shift. They dive into AI and data centers from a biblical perspective, exploring how humans hand over data for convenience, the rise of social credit scores through ESG, and whether AI is becoming a modern idol. The guys break down the Kingdom period of the Bible starting with Israel demanding a king despite God's warnings, then walk through David and Goliath's fight where David grabbed five stones not because he might miss, but because Goliath had four giant brothers he planned to take out too.

    Oilfield Assembly Podcast: Episode 18 - Winning With Grace & Samson's Downfall

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