S4E2: The Wildcatter | We Hit a Gusher (George Strake Sr.)
Holy Donors
Would you risk it all for a hunch? That’s exactly what George did when he went after that new well. And he risked not just his current all, but his future all as well with his wife's ultimatum. If you aren’t familiar with the oil business of George’s time, you might not know that not everyone kept their integrity, let alone their faith, when playing a risky game of chance. Luckily, George was able to do both. Even when given the opportunity, he chose the path of integrity. And when presented with extreme success, he gave his time to God first and foremost. --- Recommended reading: "The Fisherman’s Tomb" by John O’Neill Special thanks to John O’Neill for contributing to this season. --- Holy Donors is brought to you by Petrus Development (petrusdevelopment.com) in cooperation with RED-C Catholic Radio (redcradio.org).
