Texan Doug Giles Weighs In On Tragedy of Nearby Mystic Camp
There's much more to this story than just gloom-and-doom

For Doug, it’s not a far-off tragedy. He’s very familiar with the river where this all went down, and in a world chock-full of superheated conspiracy theories, he’s got some grounded perspective on what we should make of this tragedy.
We’ll leave the speculation about global warming and cloud seeding to people who love to get into the weeds on those questions.
For Doug, he’s got some good old-fashioned Texas advice on how to treat the dangers of nature with their proper respect.
It goes well with his high regard for the moments of genuine heroism and acts of self-sacrifice that came up as a result. He and Eric Metaxas cover a lot of other ground, too.
Since Eric brought up Doug’s Lionhearted book in this interview, and readers might want to know more about it, here ya go:
