Listener Q&A introduction

Former Texas legislator and businessman Ron Simmons joins "Relatable" to give an update on the Iran war, rising gas and oil prices, and the political fight over the SAVE America Act and DHS funding in Washington. Then he turns to something more personal and timeless: how real leadership works in business, public service, ministry, and the home. Drawing from his own career, Simmons walks through the five levels of leadership, explains the difference between workhorses and show horses in politics, and shares practical wisdom for young patriots, parents of special‑needs children, and believers navigating today’s culture. He concludes the show by answering some listener questions that cover church security, lawsuits, and cultivating a strong spiritual life.
