Samson, a womanizer with an anger problem was used by God to rescue God's people at the end of his life and his restoration began with a simple yet powerful prayer, "Remember me and strengthen me."  God heard him.  God remembered him.  God strengthened him.  In the midst of Samson's life of consequences that were resulting from his lack of faithfulness God heard him and restored him.  You see my friends, nobody is beyond the reach of God's grasp and nobody is so far gone that God can't restore them!  The means you and me! Judges 14,15, & 16 Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Today is a little different as Jon shares a parable that he wrote to drive home a point that we are better off when we focus on faithfulness not significance. There are days when we all pursue something that isn't bad but at the same time sacrifice the best thing because of it. May we focus on faithfulness first. All the other stuff should come in second.

Today's guest is John David Taylor III, owner of Covey Point Outfitters in Goshen, Alabama. John David is a lifelong outdoorsman whose passion for hunting started as soon as he was old enough to carry a shotgun. Instead of waiting years to chase his dream, he jumped right in after graduating high school in 2021 and founded Covey Point Outfitters. Since then, he's been building a destination where hunters from across the country can experience first-class quail, pheasant, hog, deer, and other guided hunts while enjoying genuine Southern hospitality. For John David, it's about much more than the hunt. He's passionate about creating lasting memories, building meaningful relationships with every guest who comes through the lodge, and sharing his faith by giving God the glory for every opportunity. At a young age, he's already turned a lifelong passion into a thriving family business, and today he's living out the dream he always knew was waiting for him in the outdoors. www.taurususa.com www.cva.com www.himtnjerky.com www.nukemhunting.com www.christianoutdoors.org www.citrusafe.com www.elimishieldhunt.com www.mossyoak.com Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

In Today's show, I brought together John Weik of Northwest Spur Chasers, and Pastor Chris Taylor on Immanual Baptist Church in Glasglow, Kentucky to relive our incredible hunt for Merriam turkeys in Idaho and Washington. A few weeks ago, John invited myself and Chris to join him in Northern Idaho and Washington to hunt Merriam turkeys. This was our first time to the Northwest to hunt turkey's and the trip was incredible. I have been fortunate to hunt all across this country for many species, but as you know, turkey's are my passion. Joining John and Chris, and Tom Watson of Promise Peak podcast was arguably one of the best hunts I have ever taken. In short we bagged six birds in three days. But the hunt iteslf was amazing and incredible. We walked and walked, and called and called. Day one found us in Idaho, hearing birds gobbling at the top of a ridge. John led us on a trek that took hours to reach the top where the birds were. Winding around one corner and then the next for miles and miles. At every corner, we stopped, called and moved on. John kept saying, "they are just around the corner" we didn't know it would be 75 corners before we finally got to the birds. Chris and I doubled on the first group to show itself, and merely 100 yards later, we called in 3 more strutters and just sat and watched them for 15 minutes put on a show like I have never seen. The day ended with me taking my second Idaho bird. (All of this can be seen on John's YouTube channel - Northwest Spur Chasers) the next morning Chris got his second Idaho bird. Day three saw, us walking 13+ miles chasing birds. Listen as we relive the excitement, fatigue and laughter of turkeys, misses, and worshiping God in the great Northwest.

Stetson Stafford was born and raised in the mountains of North Carolina, in a small town called Plumtree in Avery County—the home of Grandfather Mountain. Stetson has been hunting for as long as he can remember, ever since he was big enough to carry a BB gun. While his dad didn't focus much on deer or turkey hunting, he raised his brother and him running black bear in the mountains with dogs and occasionally took them deer hunting. His grandfather and great-grandfather later introduced him to deer and turkey hunting, which only deepened his passion. Hunting has always been a major part of his life, and he enjoys pursuing just about anything that has a season. He was saved at 10 years old and surrendered to God's call to preach at the age of 20. He married his wife, Bethany, in 2020, and they now live in South Carolina, where she's from. They have a four-year-old son, Hudson, and are expecting a baby girl this July. Today, at 30 years old, he is in full-time evangelism, traveling across the country preaching in revivals, youth meetings, wild game dinners, and wherever else the Lord opens a door. The outdoors have given him another platform to share the gospel with people he meets from all over who may never step foot into a church.

Today's guest is the founder of Scooter's Hunt Camp Scott was raised in the small town of Emmett, Id. Scott loves all sports and spent 6 years chasing dreams by playing college baseball. After that didn't pan out baseball he came back to Emmett working several different jobs trying to find my place. In 2006 the opportunity was presented to buy an Insurance Agency here in town. He now owns this agency, and this was a GOD thing as the freedom of being his own boss has given him much time with his sons. In 2007 Scott was introduced to Kami, a year later they were married. In 2010 & 2013 they welcomed 2 amazing sons into their tribe. I joke tribe as we are all registered in the Cherokee Nation. In 2021 Scott lost Kami to Breast Cancer. She was an angel here on earth, but God needed her with him. In 2000 Scott was given the vision to give back to kids through hunting. He was given a gift as a successful hunter. In fact, in 2001 he was named the Idaho State Bowhunters bowhunter of the year. Scott founded and now directs the Scooter's Youth Hunting Camp in Emmett. Over the 26 years of being a part of this ministry and mission field for kids. Scott is most proud of witnessing about his Savior and best friend "JESUS". Over 26 years Scott has had the honor of sharing God's goodness and putting a Shotgun, Bow, Muzzleloader and .22 rifle into the hands of over 6,000 kids. All for FREE and all through donations. It has been a labor of love for Scott. He works for the kids 24/7/365 as a volunteer. SYHC is 100% volunteer with no paid staff. The volunteers who show up for the camp are amazing and all get an Orange SYHC shirt. The volunteer crew has been coined the "ORANGE ARMY" with the past couple of years being 120+ strong. There is a joke around the area that Scooter has 4,000 nieces and nephews because of the interactions from this camp. In 2015 Scott added to the SYHC by creating "Hunting Dreams". This subchapter of the camp does 2 hunting trips a year for children who have suffered a life-threatening illness. One Bear hunt each spring and an Elk hunt each fall with everything donated to fully outfit the hunters.

Ben Steiger is the founder and president of the nonprofit ministry Everyman Challenge, a discipleship movement focused on helping men step into their God-given potential. What began years ago as an outdoor-based ministry called Heart of the Outdoors, which leveraged Ben's passions for hunting, backpacking, fishing, and archery, including an archery program that reached 15 states and 8 countries and engaged hundreds of thousands of individuals around the world, has since been refined into the work Ben believes God uniquely called him to do: fighting for the hearts of men. Ben believes the strongest way to fight for a marriage, a family, a church, and a community is by helping a man become who God created and empowered him to be. Today, Everyman Challenge partners with churches across the country, equipping them with a discipleship tool that reaches and transforms men in a way few ministries can. In addition, Ben leads Crest the Summit, a ministry designed to take leaders deeper in their walk with Christ and more fully into their pursuit of Him. Ben is passionate about helping men experience true freedom, lasting fulfillment, and a clear sense of purpose through a life rooted in Christ. His greatest joy comes from investing in people, especially his wife Myla and their growing family, and walking alongside men as they live out their faith with clarity, courage, and conviction. At the core of Ben's work is a simple conviction: when a man finds freedom in Christ and lives with purpose, everything connected to his life begins to change. www.taurususa.com www.cva.com www.himtnjerky.com www.nukemhunting.com www.christianoutdoors.org www.citrusafe.com www.elimishieldhunt.com www.mossyoak.com www.muelleroptics.com Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Canyon Ministries exists to help people encounter God in the outdoors, using places like the Grand Canyon as living classrooms. Through guided hikes, rim walks, backpacking trips, river adventures, and outdoor teaching experiences, they invite people to slow down, look closely, and reconnect with their Creator. While Canyon Ministries is known for thoughtful creation apologetics, their deeper aim is relational—helping guests experience awe, ask honest questions, and recognize that nature is not just something to admire, but a place where God speaks. Whether someone comes curious, skeptical, or already grounded in faith, the goal is the same: to foster meaningful moments in wild places where hearts are stirred, faith is strengthened, and people walk away more aware of God's presence than when they arrived. Nate Loper is an outdoor educator, speaker, and veteran Grand Canyon guide with decades of experience helping people connect faith, science, and the natural world. He has spent years teaching in some of the most dramatic landscapes on earth, with the Grand Canyon serving as his primary classroom. Known for his clear communication and grounded approach, Nate blends geology, history, and Scripture in a way that is accessible, thoughtful, and rooted in real-world observation. Nate has played a central role in the growth and mission of Canyon Ministries, serving in leadership and guiding roles while helping shape its vision, teaching philosophy, and outdoor programs. Through leading and developing daily rim tours, inner-canyon hikes, multi-day backpacking trips, and Colorado River expeditions, he has helped thousands experience the canyon not just as a scenic wonder, but as a place that points clearly to the Creator. Beyond apologetics and geology, Nate's heart is for people. His work with Canyon Ministries has always emphasized relationship—creating space in the outdoors for honest questions, quiet reflection, and moments where God's presence feels unmistakably close. Whether standing on the rim at sunrise or sitting in a chair circle along the river, Nate sees the outdoors as one of the most powerful settings for spiritual clarity, renewal, and growth. www.canyonministries.org www.taurususa.com www.cva.com www.himtnjerky.com www.christianoutdoors.org www.citrusafe.com www.elimishieldhunt.com www.mossyoak.com Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
