Fishers of Men
December 4, 2023
One of the first things that Jesus told His disciples was recorded in Matthew 4:19 When He said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of people." This week's guest left a life of drugs, alcohol and a multitude of other sins and when he did, he looked for ways to serve the Lord.
Being a serious fisherman and hunter, he was excited to find a way to use his passion to serve the Lord. One day he came across an organization that allowed him to use those passions to win others for Christ. Since that time he has turned his life over to work in many ways to evangelize others through God's Great Outdoors.
As you listen to today's show, please consider how you might become a fisher of men. God has a plan in all of our lives and has given us passions for things that can be used for his purposes. We all need to ready to go out and reach others with the Good News of Jesus.
Let's join our host as we travel together down the TRAIL TO ADVENTURE in GOD'S GREAT OUTDOORS.

Teaching our youth to love and appreciate the outdoors is something that we need to do to maintain our hunting and fishing heritage. It is the same with our love for Jesus Christ. We need to pass the gospel message on to all those that are coming behind us. Our world is reaping the fruit of not teaching our children what God expects of them. Many children are pointed towards Jesus Christ and then left to fend for themselves. We have a responsibility to disciple others into a mature relationship with their Savior. If we fail to do this, they will become like a fish on the edge of the water. They will flounder and eventually fall back into the life we had before Christ.

Sometimes a story is just too good to tell break it up and not tell the entire thing. Well, that’s the case this week. In last week’s program we told you about the childhood and the beginning of the slide into a life of sin of a country music star. This week we try to fit the rest of the amazing story in.
God’s perfect plan for His children is never to have them self-destruct, hurting themselves and other in the process… But when it happens, He is always waiting for the prodigal son or daughter to come back for redemption for healing.

Many of us have lived out parts of our lives held by the chains of bad decisions and choices. Today’s guest had spent much of his early life chasing squirrels through the southern woods and behind a keyboard in church and often in places not quite so godly. He’s been on stage to receive a Grammy and other awards. But a life lived in chains brought his life and career to a screeching halt.
Through the love from his mother, grandmother and the Lord, our guest was restored and now has an amazing career singing and speaking for the Lord. Come along as we travel along the TRAIL TO ADVENTURE in GOD’S GREAT OUTDOORS as we look at breaking chains.

Everyone of us in the USA owes a great debt of gratitude to so many that have willingly gone out to protect our freedoms.
