Trail To Adventure

For many years there has been a saying that has gone around in the business world that says, "Think outside the box". Well that same saying has been getting more and more use in the ministry world as well. With our world changing and people being drawn in more directions that ever before, we should be begin looking for ways to reach men and women with the Gospel message. On today's program, we wil...

As hunters and fishermen, we are constantly in pursuit of something. It might be a trophy fish, bird or big game animal, or maybe just the pursuit of the next great adventure. Even others that might not chase prey in our lives, we are chasing after something: success, fame, money or something else. Whatever it is, if it's not the things of God, it is meaningless.     On today's program, we will vi...

With a new year within our reach, it's a good time to hear about new beginnings.  We all face new beginnings throughout our lives, sometimes it's month by month or year by year, but whatever the time frame we are continually being shaped and changed into something new, more and more all the time. On today's program we will meet a young man who has served the Lord as a pastor in Texas. It's been a...

Hunting and fishing camps are some of the best places to meet new people and make lifelong friendships. There is a special bond that is formed that changes the direction of many lives. When these friendships are bonded, God can do amazing things through those whom He puts together. Today's guest is a pastor who goes above and beyond the call of duty. While many pastors faithfully serve year after...

Sometimes we think we have things planned out perfectly with every detail taken care of. Then God puts a stick  in the spokes of our tire, causing us to go off track and change our plans. That's the way things happened on today's program. God's timing is always perfect and when He puts things in our paths, we need to be alert to what He is doing.  So often our lives are overly hectic and chaotic,...

There are times in every life where we come against things that would seem insurmountable. Some of these times we question if we can get through them at all. And sometimes it may be that God takes us home. Whatever we face, we can know that if our hope is in God alone, He has a plan and we can rest on that. On today's program, we will visit with a husband and wife who faced life threatening illnes...

All of us at some time in our lives go through a painful loss. As a child, something small seems impossible to get through and as we get older small things become big things. No matter what it is that we face, there is always a way to get through. Today's guest will share a story of how he and his wife got through the untimely death of their young son and how God blessed them as they learned to de...

There are so many times when we're going through really hard times and we begin to feel sorry for ourselves. We can allow those times to make us feel defeated and that life is unfair. But if we really look around at those around us, can we honestly say that?  I've got it pretty easy compared to some others. As we listen to today's program, we will hear from a young man with a "glass half full" att...

There are many times where we are struggling hard to hear a voice of direction for our lives. These messages can come from many places and many people, but the messages that we hear from God Himself are the most important ones. On today's program, we will hear from a husband and wife who were blessed with an inheritance of a family property that had all the potential to do great ministry on it.  L...

In hunting and fishing, we often learn hard lessons by the proverbial, "one that got away". The buck we missed, the trophy fish that broke off either at the boat or when it wrapped around a submerged tree. Every failure that we face in the outdoors or in life is the making of a lesson that might change our lives. On today's program, we join our host and his guest as they spend a few days hunting I...

Most all of us who love the outdoors has at one time dreamt of how we could spend every day in the outdoors doing what we love. Life can be hard. It can be unfulfilled or it can be exciting and satisfying every day of our lives. How can we get there? On today's program, we will hear from a young man who thought he had everything he could want in life. He was living like the world tells us is satis...

In most of the nation, we are in the middle of the fall hunting season and as we think about the game we are chasing we know that they are extremely sneaky and elusive.  God created most every game animal to be a master of hiding and they do it well. On today's program, we will meet a father and son as well as our host and his grandson who all love the outdoors and love each other. They have a pas...

There are hunting and fishing buddies who get together for time spent in God's Great Outdoors and there are outdoorsmen and women who are always looking for an opportunity to spend time with others. Not having someone to share these times together in God's creation takes away from the experience. On today's program, we will learn about a ministry that is serving outdoorspeople and sharing an impor...

All of us as hunters and fisherman have stories of the One That Got Away. These stories live on for a lifetime and often grow with each new season. The pain of loss eats at each of us more as time goes on.   On today's program, we will hear from a husband and wife team who have lived most of their adult life in some of the least populated areas in the United States. They have had to learn to adjus...

Every one of us face storms in our lives from time to time.   Some are just passing sprinkles that look bad as they are blowing in and others seemingly tear our lives apart. Where we take our shelter against these storms is what makes a difference in how we survive them. On today's program, we will face different storms. First, we are in the midst of an actual thunderstorm which has a little effec...

Like a farmer who plants seeds for future harvest, if we know Jesus Christ, we are called to be seed planters. If we fail to plant seeds, there will be no harvest. On today's program, we will meet a pastor who felt a calling as a young boy and then spent his life living out that calling. Over the last 50 years he has spent his time planting churches across the state of Utah and then spent several...

Often in life, we start feeling sorry for ourselves because things haven't turned out the way we had hoped. We grumble and complain when things get tough. God never promised an easy or smooth flight, but he did promise that if we rest on Him, we will have a safe landing.

Often times we to come to places in life where some major change takes place.  Generally we can see the cause and effect of those life changes. Some changes are for the bad and others are for something very good, even though we might not immediately see it. This is the case of our guest today. Living through a near death experience that left him with very limited use of some parts of his body and...

Once in a while, we come into contact with someone who has a heart so close to our own that we wonder if we have a blood relationship. You think alike and share the same convictions in life. Well today's guest impressed on our host a feeling like that, although their accents are completely different! Our guest will share how he came to realize that he had a serious obligation to raise his kids in...

In life, there are very few things that can continually stabilize us when things get shaky and unstable.

On today's program, we will meet the head of marketing for a great product line that includes the FOURTH ARROW camera rests as well as many other products. Hunters are filming their own...

While there are many who do ministry in life, there aren't too many who have a calling to live out a life of ministry fulltime in every aspect of their life. Make no mistake, if you know Jesus Christ, you are called to do ministry throughout your life… but for others, such as today's guest, it's their vocation as well as their advocation. From a calling within his ministry, a life of carrying for...

For every one of us, our lives are planned out by God…  What we do with it is on our shoulders. We all have a choice to live for the Lord or live for ourself. When we allow God to have control of our lives, amazing things can happen. Today's guest made a choice when he was young to leave his upbringing to live a life that seemed fun. So many of us do that. Soon after he realized what had felt like...

The sound of a hammer against steel is unmistakable in knife forging. Sparks flying and the ringing of steel against steel is all part of what it takes to take a worthless piece of iron from the ground and turn it into something beautiful and useful.   On today's program, we will meet a young man with a passion for turning something seemingly useless into something that is beautiful and useful to...
