Episode 0056 Just Keep Swimming

On this episode of Shout Out From The Pit, the Old Rucker reflects on the cycle of struggle, relief, and complacency; how we can go from desperate prayers to comfortable ruts faster than we realize. Through stories of addiction, near tragedy, job rejection, and recovery, he explores why motivation fades, why inspiration comes and goes, and why gratitude must be actively maintained. His message is simple but not easy: good things don’t just happen, we participate in them. When life feels great, serve someone. When life feels awful, serve someone anyway. Action, faith, and helping others are the antidote to stagnation, and the road back to hope.

Episode 0037 Stay In Your Lane

The Old Rucker dives into the theme of “staying in your lane” reflecting on lessons from the military, scripture, and personal experience about avoiding gossip, meddling, and unsolicited advice. Through stories of misjudgments, humility, and encounters with both busybodies and bad drivers, he emphasizes the value of minding one’s own business, practicing forgiveness, and leading by quiet example rather than ego or self-righteousness. The message is clear: resist the urge to control others, let go of resentment, and focus on service, kindness, and working with your own hands to build respect and peace.
