Have you ever felt insignificant? Have you ever felt unworthy? In today's episode, I share a moment when I felt insignificant and unworthy. Then while sitting on a mountain in Alaska, I had a realization that changed my life. Being made in the image of God means, that we are the most significant there is. Of all creation, nothing was created as you. You are the most significant of all creation because you carry the image of the artist. Listen and learn what it means to be made in the image of God, and how God desires nothing more than to have a relationship with you.

Gun safety is always a hot topic. In today's paranoid world it is even more of an issue.

Many seasoned gun owners feel they have the knowledge of gun safety, but statistics show that most accidents occur from experienced gun owners. Some reminders of safety, and handling are always beneficial. We will cover some basic handling, as well as some practical in the field experiences and exercises that help you be safe when you go afield with your firearm.

Listen to see what the factors are and what we can do about it.

In this episode, I have a solo candid discussion of the weekend hunting when I was able to take the biggest whitetail buck of my life here in South Carolina. Hunting from the ground, in a new area, I observed this buck a few week before and learned his travel routes.
