    Look closely, the themes are there
    Could the Texan be classified as a "Christian " program? Not exclusively! But the application of Christian precepts are apparent in many episodes. Many of the segments revolve around taking stands against fear, a recovering of courage,victory over enslavement to alcohol,forgiveness of various debts, and most important taking a stand against entrenched evil, no matter the cost. There are episodes, where with the help of Bill Longley, people ruthlessly shattered by tragedy and circumstance, find that there is a second chance for them to find both happiness and purpose in their lives. Bill Longley personifies an awakened conscience where the emotionally and physically downtrodden finally become the people they were always meant to be. A very fine program that can both encourage and inspire.
