    We live in the greatest country in the world, and we have freedom like nowhere else on earth.

  6. Life on the Water – Capt Allan Mills

    Life is very similar to fishing. Sometimes things are like smooth water and a moment later you might be facing the worst storm of life, wondering if you will make it through.

  7. A life of Service – Pastor John Saur

    It's said that true leadership is servanthood, and the greatest leader of all time was Jesus Christ. Servanthood is an attitude exemplified by Him.

  8. The Need For a Father – Rick McGee

    When God created men and women, He placed fathers in the home to lead and be an example of our heavenly father to their sons and daughters. Until recently, most homes had a father in the home.

  10. From the Classroom to the Hunting Stand – Dr. Thomas White

    Not everyone ends up in higher education and much of today's colleges are leading many of our young People away from following Jesus Christ. There is a place in the very center of the USA that offers most every educational opportunity and keeps Christ at the very center of education. On today's...

  11. The Savior's Call - Don Shire

    There are many places in the Bible that talks about how we are called to service in the Lord. Most of us will never be called to the mountains of Asian countries or the deserts of North Africa or jungles of South America or Central Africa. However, when Jesus was about to ascend into heaven, He...

  12. HE MAKES ALL THINGS NEW- Mark Steet

    There is one thing that all men have it common… They all have had a father at one time or another.

  13. Double Teamed – Dean Hulce and Adam Erickson

    It's been 30 years since Gerry Caillouet first felt called to begin a ministry to outdoorsmen and women on the radio.

  15. Trusting The One Driving The Boat – Leigh Johanson

    The daily lives of most military personnel, many adults and even some children, have a mission and a purpose. Unfortunately, many people go through life with no mission or purpose.

  16. Hope in the Trials of Life- Don and Mary Schott

    In our world, you have a hard time finding much of any kind of hope to carry a person through hard times. There are a lot of false hopes everywhere we look.

  17. A New Lease on Life – Shannon and Josh O'Connor

    It's been said that our days our numbered and the Bible speaks of it throughout the scriptures. God has our lives in His hands from before we were born until the day comes and He calls us home.

  18. THE SON OF A SON OF A NETMAKER – BILLY BURBANK

    One of the best known scriptures in the entire Bible comes from Matthew 4:19 where Jesus calls Simon and Adrew to follow Him. Jesus says, "Come unto Me and I will make you fishers of men". From the very first day of Jesus Ministry we see that Jesus called the fishermen of His day to come…

  20. A FRESH START – PASTOR JASON CLARKE

  21. A LIFE ON THE WATER – AL LINDNER

    Many little boys dream of someday being a fireman, a professional baseball player or even maybe the president of the United States.

  22. Generational Change – Micah Hulce and Shorty Scheidegger

    There is an old saying that says that there are times when we have to pass the torch. Life is not a sprint, and often it's not a marathon either. In a family it is often more of a relay race.

  23. God's Got A Bigger Plan – Andy Johnson

    Since the beginning of time, people have passed stories from one generation to another. The history of all humanity has been shared through spoken and written word. If we didn't have these stories shared to us, we would have no purposeful way to make our plans for moving forward. On today's…

  24. Lives Changed On the Water – Joel Akay

    How many of us have gone home and told our spouse that God told me, "I have to buy a boat to be used for ministry?" If you have, how many of your spouses laughed?

  25. Well Done Good and Faithful Servant – David Roose

  26. Keeping God First – Pastor Ben Reams

    There are very few people who love the outdoors, especially hunting and fishing. But all too often we fall in love with the creation and forget the love of the Creator. The creation, while it is amazing, is only possible because God loved us enough to provide it for us. On today's program, we…

  29. Train Up A Child - Aaron Fells

    For an outdoorsman or outdoorswoman, there is no better place to be than in the woods or on the water.

  30. Running From Trouble – John Brantley

    Each of us comes to places in our lives where we have to make long-lasting decisions. We can choose to run in to trouble or run away from it. The choice is usually easy to make if we think before acting. Then there are times when we know what's right and we don't need to wait… we just need to…

  31. An Ongoing Testimony – Mark Witt

    There is a special relationship between a father and son. Often it's a bond that will carry far beyond the death of either one or the other.

  32. Just One of the Guys – Pastor Mike Elkins

    All too often in our churches a pastor is put in a position where he can never be just one of the guys. The pressures, responsibilities and expectations on a pastor make it so he can't let his hair down and be himself. On today's program, we will meet a special pastor who is able to do that…

  33. Be Still and Know – Pastor Shad Goltz

  35. Mistaken Identity – Dan and Mark Witt

    Do you ever feel angry with God? Do you ever wonder if it's ok to be angry with God? Is He big enough to take it?

    more
  36. Staying Busy – Pastor Kevin Sullivan

    In today's world, we all fight against being too busy. There are so many things that draw on our time. It's too easy to fall into a pattern of the world pulling us away from what's important.

  37. Through the Storms - Blaine and Darcie Cronn

  38. God's Plan – Jay Fettig and Lee Vanderbrink

  39. Taking Aim – Rob Wynalda and Joe Coy

  49. Learning From Our Mistakes – Micah Kramer

    In hunting and fishing, we often learn hard lessons by the proverbial, "one that got away".
