Commissioner Sid Miller and his wife Debra are honored on this special, bonus section to the Truly Significant chapter featuring their journey. Enjoy hearing about their journey of serving others and how this rancher means more to us Texans, especially in 2026. Here's our original tribute to him ....God made a Rancher.And on the eighth day… God looked down on His planned paradise and said,“I need a caretaker.” So God created a rancher. God said, “I need somebody willing to get up before daylight,check the fences, tend the cattle, then put on a clean shirt and go fight for folks who’ll never know his name.” So God created a rancher. God said, “I need somebody strong enough to ride out droughts and floods, stubborn enough to stand his ground, and humble enough to know the land doesn’t belong to him—he belongs to it.”So God created a rancher. God said, “I need somebody who knows the smell of fresh hay,the weight of responsibility,and the meaning of a handshake that still counts as a contract.” So God created a rancher. God said, “I need somebody who’ll love Texas not just for its size,but for its soil… its people…and the generations who work the land long after the cameras are gone.” So God created Sid Miller. A man who wears a cowboy hat not as a costume,but as a testimony. A man who understands agriculture isn’t a policy debate—it’s breakfast on a school tray, livelihoods on family farms, and dignity for rural communities.God said, “I need somebody who’ll stand up for farmers when it’s unpopular,push back when Washington forgets where food comes from,and remind folks that common sense is still a virtue.” So God created a rancher who would becomeTexas Commissioner of Agriculture. But not a politician who visited ranches—a rancher who went to Austin.God said, “I need somebody who knows that leadership isn’t about polish—it’s about purpose. That significance isn’t found in titles,but in lifting others up.” So God created a rancher. One who believes faith belongs in everyday work,that freedom is worth defending, and that feeding people well is a moral responsibility. God said, “I need somebody who’ll tell the truth plainly, stand tall when criticized,and go home at night knowing he did right by Texas.” So God created Sid Miller. And while the rest of the world argues about trends,this rancher keeps his boots on the ground, his eyes on the horizon,and his heart set on service. Because long before the votes were counted,before the office doors opened,before the speeches were written— God already knew. Texas needed a rancher.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/success-made-to-last-legends--4302039/support.
