June 4, 2012
Doing outdoor adventures with family, his wife and children, has been the major focus in Dave Myers’ life. He began to write down and record the adventures for his family to reflect on in the future, and discovered that each of the outings seemed to have some spiritual lesson that was learned during the event. Consequently, he compiled these true stories of his outdoor experiences and put them into a book titled, “Swim Upstream”, which is what he and Gerry talk about during this interview.

Mark also discusses how important listening is in communication, and how, as men, we need to be willing to sacrifice our time in the outdoors in exchange for time with the family.

Pro bass fisherman Mark Davis shares how the loss of his mom when he was a young boy, and his adventures in the outdoors, caused him to see that one day he could make a living as a fisherman. After nine years on the bass fishing circuit, he was looking at throwing in the towel because he never won the “big one”. It was at this point having been a Christian for a number of years he finally decided to turn his fishing over to Jesus Christ. That year he won Angler of the Year and the Bass Master Classic, something no one had ever done before.
