Well tonight's story is about that scared young cowpoke, Gideon, and how God used him to save the Israelites from those locusts eatin' up all their food.
But what's that got to do with our special mugs Meemaw made us?
Well how about I start spinnin' this yarn and you see if you can sort it out. After that angel visited Gideon and remember he laid his blankie outside all night, well he was finally ready to do what the Lord asked...
Our story tonight starts when our friends the Israelites had once again wandered off the straight and narrow trail God had laid out for 'em. And just like before, trouble came callin'. This time, some fierce cowboys started ridin' into town like a swarm of locusts, devouring all their crops and food, leavin' our buddies with nothin'. And so our friends hidin' in caves and strongholds.
Howdy, folks! Good to see all your shining faces 'round this here fire. Tonight, we're gonna hear about a brave woman, a hesitant cowboy, and how God used some unexpected heroes to win a big battle.
Now, folks, our story today takes us back to the land of Israel, a spell after we last visited. The people of Israel, well, they kinda strayed from the straight and narrow trail. They started doin' things that weren't pleasing to the Lor...
Now this here is the story of our friends, the Israelites, ready to move on into the promise land. And this rodeo ain’t got no buckin’ broncos or lasso-slingin’ cowpokes. Nope… this here’s about a whole city called Jericho, and how its walls got bucked clean off the map by faith and a thunderin’ shout!
Now, you remember last time—Joshua sent two brave scouts ridin’ into Jericho, quiet...
Howdy, folks! Scoot a little closer to that fire, let the sparks dance up into the night sky. Tonight, I’ve got a tale for ya ‘bout a brave woman, a couple of quiet-ridin’ spies… and a scarlet lasso that changed everything.
Now you remember Joshua, don’t ya? Took over as trail boss after Moses. He was fixin’ to lead his people into the Promised Land—a place richer than a well-watered valley...

Well howdy, buckaroos! I'm so glad ya'll came back and ya know, today I'm gonna be readin' from the Good Book, but this is always a little hard for me to read. See, this passage is about when my best friend, Jesus, died on the cross. And even though, I know it all turns out alright in the end, well, it's still ain't easy thinkin' about someone you love goin' through a world of hurt, especially when they're doing it so you don't hav...
Well howdy there, buckaroos. I sure hope you’re settlin’ in cozy… tonight, I’m gonna read to ya from the Good Book.

But for tonight, there's no songs, no frills,...
Well howdy there, buckaroos. Scoot on in close to the fire. Yep, right there. Let that warmth soak into your boots and your bones. I’ve been waitin’ on y’all.

Well howdy, buckaroos! Tonight, we're gonna spin a yarn about a time when folks were lookin' at a grand new pasture, but some of 'em got cold feet when they saw the size of the fences.
Now, our friends, the Israelites had been travelin' through the wilderness for a good long spell. God was leading them with a cloud by day and fire by night, each time the cloud would move, they'd have to pack up their tent and move again. But it wasn...
Howdy Buckaroos! We're back around our regular campfire this time Preacher's gonna share the story of Moses and the 10 Commandments.
In this special episode, Preacher reads the Christmas story directly from the Bible—from prophecy to the manger and the visit of the wise men.
Scripture passages:
Micah 5:2 • Isaiah 7:14
Matthew 1:18–25
Luke 2:1–7 • Luke 2:8–14 • Luke 2:15–20
Matthew 2:1–12
It’s too cold for our regular campfire, so Preacher’s invited the whole buckaroo gang inside to sip cocoa and get cozy by the fireplace.
In this episode, Preacher shares a Christmas from long ago—one where all he got was a bag of rocks… or so he thought. This is the final chapter in Preacher's Christmas story, but be sure to come back for a special reading of the Christmas story from Preacher himself.

Well howdy, buckaroos! Grab yourselves a s'more, get cozy in your blankets, cuz I've got a tasty tale for y'all tonight. If you remember, God helped our friends, the Israelites, escape the Egyptian cowboys chasin' after them. They made it out of the Red Sea and set up camp in the desert. And after their long journey, they started getting hungry.

Well howdy, buckaroos! Welcome back, pull up a stump, and grab a s'more. I hope you're all warmed up and ready for a tale that'll make your spurs jingle. Last time, we talked about Moses and that mysterious blazin' bush. Tonight, we're ridin' right into the heart of the showdown, when Moses and his brother Aaron confronted the toughest rancher in all of Egypt, old Pharaoh himself!
Now one day, Moses was out watchin’ his sheep near a mighty big mountain, just mindin’ his business, hummin’ a tune or countin’ clouds, when he saw somethin’ stranger than a cowboy trying to milk a pig. Something that didn't quite add up.
He saw a bush — on fire — blazin' like this here campfire. But the leaves on this bush weren't burnin' up and the wood didn't look like these here lo...
But this new sheriff, the new Pharaoh that is, well he came along and didn’t remember Joseph — the one who’d saved Egypt from starvation years back. Nope, this Pharaoh got nervous seein’ how mighty the Israelites were gettin'. So he made 'em slaves. Worked 'em like worn-out plow mules. But still they grew. Why? 'Cause God was with ‘em.
