Trail To Adventure

Most of us deal with worry and fear some point in our lives. We struggle to know where to turn at times, not sure of where the answers are found. This week's guest has been through many years struggling with bad memories and experiences but is finding peace and comfort in the arms of the Lord now. He is showing others that are dealing with PTSD that he has their six. Join us on God's Great Outdoor...

Cooler mornings are here and crops like corn are beginning to ripen. Days are getting shorter and the feel of Fall is in the air.  Fishermen are starting to plan for the drop in water temperatures and those that plant foot plots are beginning to work soils for Fall plantings. This week, we'll share some great hunting and fishing stories with a good friend and  we'll talk soil preparation and the p...

The heart of true servants shine through in everything they do. Today's guests and their family have those kind of hearts. Whether they are in boats, tree stands, or serving in hunting and fishing camps in Ontario or in Wisconsin, they shine the light of Jesus Christ in all they do. Come along and learn more about the fishing trips and hunting camps these friends of God's Great Outdoors operate an...

Alaska, our 49th state, is the last great wilderness in the United States. There are villages that rarely ever see a visitor.  Yet, today's guests have traveled across many of the muddy roads of Alaska sharing the message of Jesus Christ through music. Come along as we traverse the backroads and remote villages of Alaska,  the last frontier.

Join us this week on God's Great Outdoors as we travel down The Trail to Adventure! Our host, Dean Hulce, sits down with Adam Erickson and shares some of Dean's most exciting adventures... from giant brown bear attacks on Kodiak Island, Alaska, to taking the controls of a float plane while flying over the North Pacific... You won't want to miss it!  We'll see how wherever we are in life and no mat...

There are times when we have no idea how blessed we are in life.  Today's guest will share that no matter how good we think we have it, we all have a special need, and that is a need for Jesus Christ

The call of the North woods and waters is strong to those who love God's great outdoors. A week spent on the lakes of Northern Ontario is a peaceful and relaxing experience that helps calm any storm that a person might be carrying. On today's show, we'll meet Wisconsin farmer Lynn Sedelbauer who joined us for a week of fishing. He is a living and breathing Job from the old testament. He's lived th...

Sometimes God puts people in your path and we can know without a doubt that He has a plan in the relationship.  This week we introduce Scot and Julie Iverson, a couple from Northern Nebraska. Dean met this couple at Rushing Wind Camp in Ontario. They hit it off instantly and today they share a few fishing stories from Northern Canada and life stories from the loss of a ranch and their livelihood,...

Like the gardener, many hunters plant food plots and wait on the seeds they've planted to sprout and produce the plants that the deer need to grow healthy and strong. In the last words of Jesus, we heard a command to plant seeds when He said in Mark 16:15 "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation." Today, we'll learn a lot about planting seeds and nutrition for wildlife from Dou...

The largest growing segment in the outdoor world today is women. Over 25% of the fishing and hunting participants are now women. If you throw in other activities in God's Great Outdoors, the percentages go way up! This week, we hear from our host's lovely hunting partner, his wife Linda, about her short but very successful hunting career.  More importantly, she gives all of the credit and glory fo...

God uses the most unusual things to turn our heart to Him. To the person who does not enjoy the outdoors, the thought of God using antlers to win a man to Him would seem strange and nearly impossible. Today, our host and antler collector, Jay Fish, will again share stories of some of the biggest and most unusual antlers ever found or harvested!

This week we'll hear that there are few better places to meet and build each other up than hunting and fishing camps.  We'll meet Ben Kuncaitis who shares his camp with many others via social media and YouTube.  Our host, Dean Hulce, has shared several camps with this quest and the friendship and brotherhood has grown stronger because of "Camp".

Calling in a wild turkey for harvest is a very exciting and rewarding experience.  But spending time in God's Great Outdoors with others that build us up in the Lord is more rewarding. On today's show we'll join our host Dean Hulce, as he hosts a God's Great Outdoors turkey hunt in NW Wisconsin.  Join the round table discussion as the hunters laugh, share their great hunting stories and share thei...

Most of us grow up with a dream of what we would like to do for the rest of our lives. Some of us want to be professional athletes, some doctors and some of us grew up wanting to hunt or fish for a living…  this was the case for our host, Dean Hulce and for today's guest, Dan Eigen, who ended up making his living guiding fisherman in the walleye capitol of the world, Brainerd, Minnesota. Dean and...

This week, Dean's guest is back from two weeks ago with such a great response from so many people asking for the "Paul Harvey" version…  The Rest of the Story. Our guest, Steve Nooyen, shares how God has used his business to fund ministry to work to serve others as Jesus did.  His life is based on Ephesians 2:10 which talks about how the Christian is called to good works. Join us as we talk about...

This week's show finds our host with Paul Gathany, one of God's Great Outdoors board members and somewhat of this ministry's historians. We'll hear how Paul got his divine appointment into radio at a young age and how that played into the beginning of this ministry and continues today, 26 years later. Then we'll hear about some upcoming fishing at Rushing Wind camp in Northwest Ontario for big wal...

On today's show, we'll be talking with Don Blume, a man living in the middle of the beautiful far north of Wisconsin. Don lost his father as a very young boy and grew up with a fulltime man in his life.  With recent health issues, he's had to leave what he's always known and he's following a new call by God to reach out to disciple men to be the husbands, fathers and leaders God calls them to be!

Come along as we'll spend some time with a man that has spent his entire working life caring for others and now is spending his time and efforts serving others in the outdoors. He's learned the secret to fulfillment in life by giving back and in the process sharing the gift that Jesus Christ gave us. So come along on The Trail To Adventure as we head into the woods of Northern Wisconsin on God's G...

As we go through life day by day and look closely, we will see God's shaping and pruning of our lives. There is growth that comes on slowly that we never notice and some growth that comes on quickly when we've been taken unaware.  God sees it all and He is ready to cut away those things that are growing us in an unhealthy direction. There are times when the trimming and pruning is a somewhat painf...

It is amazing how God puts His children together to do His will. We often make our plans and go about our business, thinking our future is set, but God has other plans for us. If you feel God has stopped your progress and life seems to be going in a different direction than planned, don't give up on Him. His plans will prevail and when we give Him all the glory, He might just give you the desires...

Most of us have seen the TV show Deadliest Catch, but few of us have lived out that life. On God's Great Outdoors program, we will meet a pastor who grew up with the lifestyle of a commercial fisherman. A life of hard work, tremendous challenge and unimaginable tragedy leads today's guest to an angry life. So come along on THE TRAIL TO ADVENTURE as we head out of the North Atlantic in search of lo...

The sound of spring for a turkey hunter is a thrilling sound. Calling gobblers to the call of a hunter goes against the natural process of things… but we'll hear today that it sure is fun and exciting. Two young men and relatively new turkey hunters join us and share their favorite turkey hunting experiences. So come along as we enter into God's Great Outdoors and take up The Trail to Adventure in...

Come along as we visit with Will Dodson. He shares about a world class buck that got away and then we talk about how the company that he works for is in the business of saving lives. In the process of saving lives, this business is also helping to point people to the one that saves souls! 

Hunters and fishermen are often trophy collectors. Some of us have walls full of trophies from hunting and fishing trips past. These trophies are things we cherish and hold dear. God calls us to Himself and when we come, we become trophies of His grace that He holds dear. Today we're joined by Randy Malcore and we hear about the ministry he's involved with, Trophies Of Grace, and hear some stories...

Year after year, bucks shed their old antlers and begin growing a new set.  This is one of the amazing and beautiful things about creation and God's Great Outdoors. On this week's show, we'll hear about the world record whitetail sheds and the story of the hunt for a lost piece of those trophy antlers. If you love hunting, antlers, and the outdoors, you'll not want to miss this week's show as we h...
