Trail To Adventure

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 fun ha...

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 the mas...

Many times in the Bible it tells us to be bold. What God wants is for His children to stand up and stand out for Him. To share the good news of Jesus Christ at every opportunity.

This week’s guest is one man that I have chased for an interview for over 2 years and I am privileged to sit and hear his story of duck calls and salvation. He is known all across North America by the sound of his voice or a pho...

Sometime in our lives we will come face to face with a bear. That bear might come in the form of a serious illness, a broken relationship, a financial struggle or maybe even a real bear. Whatever it is that you come up against, You can call on God to see you through.

Today, we’ll hear the remainder of Jim Vansteenhouse’s story of being attacked and nearly killed by a giant grizzly. Jim tells how God spar...

Every one of us will someday come up against something in life that is too big for us to get past. For some it might be a relationship issue, a financial issue, or a medical issue.  Whatever it is that stands in front of you and stops you in your tracks, you can't overcome it on your own. On today’s program, we will hear about someone who came up against something that not only stopped him, but nearly killed him. When a hunter come...

I have had several people tell me in the last few years that giving is the real to key to living. If you want a blessed life, the best way to do that is to be willing to give whenever you have the opportunity.  

Today’s guest has an amazing history of giving to others. As a teacher, he taught thousands of young men and women to not only do woodworking and building but he taught them biblical truths and t...

In the Bible it tells us not to stop gathering with other believers in Jesus Christ. Now I know we generally read this concerning gathering in our churches, but often as we gather outside of church with men and women who have a faith in Jesus Christ, we grow closer to Him and others as well.

On today’s program we will meet a man who saw a need for men and women to get out and get together during Covid. H...

Our world has done its best to destroy authentic manhood and strong
fatherhood. It might have started about when TVs first came into homes. When Jackie Gleason played Ralph Kramden on the Honeymooners, we saw husbands and fathers become buffoons instead of strong men and it has spiraled right up until today.
In our country today, there are 15 million households without a full-time father caring for his kids. Worse is that 32% of bo...

There is an amazing beauty of a traditional bow being drawn back and releasing an arrow at a target. There is a great lesson in the shooting of bow and arrows.  It can be a photo of God often pulling us back and
putting pressure on us before releasing us toward the target that He has in store for us.  Being drawn back can be painful at times, but when we’ve been released, it is freeing and exciting. The further back we’re drawn and...

There is something about the sight of an arrow released from a bow and watching it arc through the air on its path to a target. Most everyone who has shot arrows from a bow has been drawn in by the beauty and art of archery.  

For many hunters, it is the challenge of archery that draws them in. Our host shot his first bow at about 5 years old and he has never lost the joy of the sight of an arrow in flig...

The history of archery goes back to the beginning of time. It was first mentioned in the Bible in Genesis, when it mentioned that Ishmael became an archer. With that first mention of archery, 6000 years ago, the story began.  

Today we will learn about the history of modern day bowhunting in North America.  From one man with a passion to shoot bows came a worldwide hunting craze today. Archery gear has e...

We live in a world today that is far from wise. The lack of wisdom is very evident.  The gibberish we hear passing for wisdom to some contains no real wisdom.

On today’s program, we will meet and visit with a man who has changed the world in many ways. He’s a man who didn’t have a lot of use for normal school type of learning, but God gave him a desire to create. Then one day he began praying for wisdom ...

There aren't any of us who hasn’t made a bad decision from time to time in our life.  Some of us can look back and see that there were stretches where we made a long series of bad decisions that caused us to freefall into a deep pit. Many people have never found their way out of the depth of a pit, often living their entire lives there. Others didn’t live through the effects of the freefall. Then there are some who gr...

Every family has it’s struggles and problems. Some of more than others, 
but there are occasionally those families who seem to deal with far more than their share. But through the struggles of life, God can help us get through them in better shape with better attitudes. On today’s program, we will meet a family that has gone through what they call "The Peaceful storm." A storm is a good description, the peaceful part is often hard ...

Many fishermen live their entire lives searching for one trophy that never gets caught. Hunters are the same and there are even things outside of fishing and hunting that drive people to strive for that one special goal.  

Sometimes God uses those special things in our lives to draw us closer to Him. On today’s show, we will meet a young fireman who had a dream of one day catching a very special fish and it wasn’t until he gave int...

Every one of us has a need for finances in our lives. It is all but impossible to make it through without some sort of available finances.  

On today’s program, we will learn a lot about the ways God supplies for our needs and sometimes for our wants as well. We’ll talk to someone who has spent most of his life helping others to learn biblical financial management. We’ll hear stories of some amazing hunts and how God works through ...

As a radio program and podcast, we spend our lives as story tellers. The best time of the day while fishing and hunting is often the time spent around the table, fireplace or campfire telling stories. Many strong, long-term friendships are formed at these times and places.  

Country people, we believe, are the best story tellers on earth. On today’s program, we will spend the morning with two young Alabama boys who can spin a yarn ...

There is a special relationship between a father and a son. Often it's a bond that will carry far beyond the death of either one or the other. In our lives, we truly don't know how much of an impact we have on our children or others that we have come in contact with. We need to realize that people that we see and talk to on a daily basis are watching us closely to see if our words match our deeds. On today's program, we will hear f...
