In this special Christmas episode of the Texas Land Guys podcast, hosts Tim and Tom Dosch are joined in the Houston office by their friend and office chaplain, Taylor Ince. Taylor, a pastor at Sojourn Church, has been embedded in the DMRE office for four years, providing spiritual counsel, leading a weekly Bible study, and fostering a culture of faith amidst the daily grind of real estate.

Taylor shares how a simple open-door invitation to use space inside the office turned into years of Bible studies, one-on-one conversations, counseling moments, and real faith showing up in the middle of everyday business life. The guys reflect on how easy it is to get consumed by deals, numbers, and performance, and how powerful it is to have constant reminders that there is more to life than the next transaction.

Taylor opens up about his personal calling, including his unexpected departure from law school after a defining moment that redirected him into ministry. He shares stories from planting a church in Houston, global outreach trips to places like India, Latvia, France, and Slovenia, and his passion for equipping under-resourced pastors around the world. The conversation also dives into Houston’s unique diversity and why reaching people across cultures and faith backgrounds is such a central part of his mission.

As Christmas approaches, Taylor explains why he is teaching from the Gospel of John this season, focusing on the deeper meaning of the incarnation and why the Christmas story never loses its power. The episode closes with a moving discussion on Christian community, why isolation is so dangerous, how real growth happens through relationships, and why church is not just a place you attend but a family you belong to. It is a thoughtful, honest, and timely reminder of faith, purpose, and the power of community at Christmas.

Merry Christmas from the Texas Land Guys to you and your family. May this season bring rest, reflection, and renewed purpose as you head into the new year.
