Why are we prideful? Why do men think its week to be humble? Today we discuss the pitfall of being prideful and how God's word warns us about being prideful. Today we learn fromMproverbs, 16:18 "pride comes before destruction..." so many men have a hard time forgiving themselves for past mistakes. but hear me here... "you are not defined by your worst decision." Proverbs tell us that we are his and that humility comes before honor. We are to humble ourselves before God and one another if we are to enter into a whole relationship with our God. "The heart of a man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps."

Sitting in my deer stand in SE Kansas got me reflecting on how great God is and how so many of us feel alone adn isolated at times. In reading my bible, I read again Psalm 100 and those words reminded me that we are never alone, but that we are His. Regardless of what you are going through, remember you are HIS and his love is greater than anything that can come against you.

In my world as an outdoor writer I have the ability to preview a lot of new products, and to see some of the new innovations that are on the horizon. I am constantly amazed at how people create ways to make a hole. The Archery Trade Association annual show is one place where you will witness dozens of new broadhead designs every year. It seems that there is always someone who thinks they can create a better broadhead. One that flies better, cutted better, and tunes easier. I've seen broadheads that were diminituve in size barely bigger than the arrow itself, and some that looked like a hubcap flying through the air. And every one of these folks believed theirs was the best ever designed. Today, we have on the show the founders of a new broadhead company, TouLou broadheads has designed a single bevel broadhead with a twist...literally, and the design allows the arrow to fly straight and flatter due to the tip driving the rotation of the arrow verses the feathers. More than this, Trevor and Jake share their stories of faith and personal transformation that is surre to inspire you. www.touloubroadheads.com www.taurususa.com www.cva.com www.birddogcoffeebeans.com www.himtnjerky.com www.citrusafe.com www.elimishieldhunt.com www.nukemhunting.com www.christianoutdoors.org

How can we know God's will for our lives? Is this even possible? Today, I dive into this and give you some things I feel will help you to discover God's will for your life. It begins with a relationship with Him. Then diving into his word and reading it for yourself. Listening to Him, seeking council from Godly folks and praying for guidance.

What is the greatest threat to deer hunting in America? Is it dropping participation? Could it be lack of accessible land? Perhaps it is the anti-gun movement or the anti-hunting factions? Division among hunters themselves? All of this is discussed in this show before we reveal what Steve Shea and I feel is THE greatest threat to deer hunting today.

In a world of brokeness, being whole is hard. In many cases it may even seem impossible. But today we share how to become whole through a life of holiness. being holy isn't reserved for saints, our pursuit for holiness should be at the forefront of our life as Christians. The pursuit alone is worthy, the efforts, the desire to be more like Christ leads us to a holy life. Holy does not mean being perfect, it is wrapped up in the pursuit and effort to become holy. We are not made to pursue happiness, rather we are made to pursue holiness. When we do this, we become whole.

Making a decision to chase your dreams can be hard for many. Austin Williams made the decision to chase his in Country Music. After only one yar of chasing in Nashville, he was signed to development deal and is moving fast through the ranks. In talking with Austin, he has no formal training in singing or song writing, it "just comes to me" he says. Understanding his talent and using it for a platform to share his faith is important to Austin. He is open about his faith, and his love of music and the sound of hounds in the night sky.

In a world where discussing politics and faith is often frowned upon, witnessing is difficult for many of us. But the bible teaches that we are called to share our faith with everyone. Today we share how to witness where you are in soft, subtle ways that shares the love of Christ with the gifts and talents you have.

When most people think of eating mushrooms, two images come to mind. One is the kind we put on our salads, and the other are the psychedelic type. Well, today I learned a lot about edible mushrooms, how to find them, identify them and the food and health benefits from them. In today's show, we talk with Tim Frost an assistant Pastor from Indiana and he educates us on the different varieties and benefits of edible mushrooms. Tim not only shares his passion for fungi, but also his passion for Christ. This is an interesting topic and interview.

When it comes to service for Christians, it can often be paralyzing becasue we do not know what to do or how to do it. We often overthink this part of our faith. Today, we discuss how to put your faith into action and to do it where you are.

What does it mean to be a responsible steward? How can we make a difference in the world in which we live? Today's guest, Benny Braden was hiking near his home in eastern Tennessee and he began to notice trash along the trails, and he began picking the trash up. In some places the trash was immense. Left over tents, beer cans, food packaging, and more were littered everywhere. Taking it upon himself, he began a campaign of cleaning up our public lands. And "Responsible Stewardship" was founded. A non-profit organization that works to keep our public lands clean and trash free. Benny, is also a PTSD survivor and a follower of Christ. In this show we discuss his hikes across the globe and how Responsible Stewardship came into being as well has his personal faith journey.

How much money do you make? How much do you weigh? What did you pay for your car? Do you tithe? Many of us find these questions offensive and in some ways they are. Except for the last one...the rest are non of my business, and are on some level offensive. But God doesnt ask any of te others, but he does as for our Tithe. 10% of your gross income. Why are we so quick to give out 20% of the cost of a meal to a server but reluctant to give God 10% of our income? This and other things we discuss today as we loo into what God expects of us. Remember God can do more with 90% than you can with 100%....

What moves you? What is it in your life that moves your soul and compels you to do something and work to make a difference? For Sue Tidwell it was when she accompanied her husband on a safari to Tanzania. As a non-hunter herself, she saw the passion of her husband and as she says in her book, "when you love someone, their dream becomes your dream." Together they flew to Tanzania so Rick could pursue his dream of hunting Africa. What happened on this trip changed Sue profoundly. She saw firsthand how hunting has transformed the lives of the people of Tanzania and beyond. How hunting saves species, how controlled hunting conserves the landscape, how hunting provides jobs, food and income for hundreds and thousands of people living in Africa. She saw first hand how sustained hunting of these beautiful animals has helped the people of these countries and animals around the world. In her book Cries of the Savanna, Sue captuers the thrill of the hunt and the essence of the people who make it all happen. From the tents to the bush to the relationships she has built with the people she encounters, Sue takes the reader along with her as she struggles to make sense of it all and writes convincenly and beautifully. Cries of the Savanna is one of the best books ever penned on hunting Africa and should rank as the highest apologetic work on hunting in the last 50 years. She is a gifted writer and this book is a must read for anyone who wants to hunt Africa. For anyone who questions the ethics of hunting, and for anyone studying conservation around the globe. www.suetidwell.com www.taurususa.com www.cva.com www.birddogcoffeebeans.com www.himtnjerky.com www.citrusafe.com www.elimishieldhunt.com www.nukemhunting.com www.christianoutdoors.org

Why is it so difficult to forgive others when they have wronged us? Why do we carry grudges? What makes it so hard? And yet Jesus tells us to forgive 77 times those who wrong us. Why is it hard to forgive ourselves? Personally I find it harder for me to forgive myself than it is to forgive others. Today we talk about why forgiveness is so important and how it can free you of your pain and heartache.

How do you live an abundany life? This is the mission of my guest today. Ms. Bethany Bethard is a military wife and mother of 5 that she home schools at her home in Oklahoma.

We are all familure with the military term "About Face" to turn around, to change your direction and alter your intention. This is what Repentance is. The bible tells us over and over that we are to repent! "Unless you repent you will not see the kingdom of God." But what does this really mean? Today we look at the importance of repentance and how to go about it. How to change our direction, and alter our intentions.

Here at Christian Outdoors we like to talk about a lot of different subjects and today is no different.

How do soldiers prepare for battle? How do we prepare for everyday temptations, and struggles? Many of us are walking into the world ill prepared fro what lies ahead. We are mounting our horses, and load up our tooth picks and head into battle. We prepare for the struggles of life and the forces against us by diving deep into God's word. Reading it for ourselves and inbedding his word into our hearts. In this episode we look at how to study, why we need to study and the benefits of reading God's word and inbedding it into our lives.

There is little question that God allows peoples paths to cross at the right time in our lives. This is the case with today's guests Rob "Breezy" Henson and Cush Arrue. the owners and foudners of Apex Mountain, a full production company in South Florida. Their story of how they came to Christ, and their company is one that you do not want to miss. This show moved me in so many ways.

Listen to this show, and know that God is real, his passion for you is real, and His desire to have a relationship with you is real. Rob and Cush are two guys that love Jesus with an infectious love that makes you WANT to be a part of it. My prayer is that you too, will leave this show moved by the power of the Holy Spirit as you listen to their story. www.apxmntn.com www.taurususa.com www.cva.com www.birddogcoffeebeans.com www.himtnjerky.com www.citrusafe.com www.elimishieldhunt.com www.nukemhunting.com www.christianoutdoors.org

How important is prayer? This is one of the questions we get a lot, and we hear a lot of folks talking about prayer. How do we pray? Is there a right way? Is it formal or casual? To put it simply, prayer is our time to talk to God...in this time we need to know we have God's undivided attention and we need to use the time to thank him, ask for forgiveness, and to let him know our deepest desires and concerns. I cannot remember where I heard it, but it stuck with me when a pastor preached on prayer and he suggested to do it like this; Thank you, Sorry, Please. We begin by thnaking God for all of our blessings, both big and small. Then we let Him know we are sorry for our failuers and sins, and lastly we ask Him for our hearts desires. This simple method makes praying easier and more focused. Today we dive into this method and the reasoining of why we pray.

Not many people get to experience the fullness of the Alaskan wilderness and the granduer of God's creation. Today's guests gets to do both! Ben Pettway and I met at a Wild Game Dinner where I was the Keynote speaker. After the show, he introduces himself and tells me he is a guide for moose, Dalls Sheep, Inland grizzly and coastal brown bears in Alaska.

In this show we breakdown the life of an Alaskan big game guide and his life as a guide and his passion for Jesus. It is one of my favorite episodes listening to how he hunts, and shares Christ along the way.

Including; He is an author, professional speaker, leadership consultant, and founder of JFB Leadership. Having spent 30 years leading soldiers in the U.S. Army, including two tours to the Balkans, two tours in Iraq, and two tours in Afghanistan, I understand how to build high performance teams and get the most out of them under extreme pressure in high stakes situations. Since retiring in 2016, I have helped leaders who lead small family businesses as well as Fortune 500 business executives to build their team and achieve their desired results. This means inspiring human behavior through quality leadership. From time management to prioritization, from conducting effective meetings to alignment and holding people accountable, I help business leaders put it all together. www.jimmyfblackmon.com www.taurususa.com www.cva.com www.birddogcoffeebeans.com www.himtnjerky.com www.citrusafe.com www.elimishieldhunt.com www.nukemhunting.com www.christianoutdoors.org

As an outdoor writer there are few who carry the mantle better or with more integrity than today's guest. Larry Weishuhn has written more, been on TV more, hunted every contintent and taken more game than just about anyone alive. But it is his humility, his integrity and his passion for Christ that is infectious. Larry is the real deal, as a member of the Legends of the Outdoors Hall of Fame, and more accolades than I can name, he is a joy to speak with and to know. I am honored to have on the show today Mr. Whitetail. We will discuss "why deer?" and get his indight into his passion for deer and deer hunting and we will also discuss his love of handgun hunting. Larry is the reason I began hunting with a handgun and having the opportunity to discuss handgun hunting with him was a dream come true. www.taurususa.com www.cva.com www.birddogcoffeebeans.com www.himtnjerky.com www.citrusafe.com www.elimishieldhunt.com www.nukemhunting.com www.christianoutdoors.org
