Here are some excerpts from that message: Mark 12:28-31 - 28 Then one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, perceiving that He had answered them well, asked Him, "Which is the first commandment of all? 29 Jesus answered him, "The first of all the commandments is: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God,...

Out our way, theology can be found in the strangest places. Maybe that is why some shepherds and cowpunchers are also pastors and theologians.
