God's Great Outdoors - Larry Chamberlain
April 24, 2017
This Trail To Adventure! interview was interrupted several times by “Rufus” a calf bison (buffalo) that was hanging around this week’s guest, Larry Chamberlain. The baby bull was rejected by its mother, so being bottle fed it bonded to Larry the owner of Medicine Bow Buffalo Ranch and the critter felt he had to join us. Larry told of this areas part in our nation’s history, as it is located in Douglas, Wyoming along the Oregon Trail. He spoke of a time the ranch had to expand its operation to include buffalo. Health benefits to humans consuming this animal’s meat and the considerations of dealing with these massive creatures are explored as well. Reflecting on Larry’s contact with Gerry was out of a desire to have tracts, bookmarks and Gospels of John to present to hunters needing a relationship with the Creator!

Gerry visits with one of the legends in the outdoor world, Harold Knight of Knight & Hale Game calls on this Trail To Adventure! Listeners will discover that David Hale who was a farmer, and Harold Knight a barber, got together to design, develop and market turkey calls. Giving one of these calls to an outdoor writer way back when there weren’t many turkeys to start with, created quite a stir. His article in an outdoor magazine drove in hundreds of phone calls to get one of their “turkey tubes” and it just went on from there. Both these men give all the glory to God for what has happened in their lives and they continue to praise Him as the years roll by. Harold also relates as a youngster he had a desire to shoot a goose. When that did happened, he found it had a Jack Miner band with a scripture verse on it!

The Trail To Adventure! is in North Augusta, Georgia and Gerry is joined by Dr. Bill Brown who teaches at the online program at Liberty University. Bill was formerly at the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary where he taught Evangelism and Church Planting. During Bill’s years of being a pastor in Alaska, and the things that he learned on how to reach men, he relates these strategies to Gerry and the listeners. Growing up in an outdoor family, and experiencing the numerous outdoor interests that men from his congregation desired to do, allowed him to formulate a plan and program to reach the unchurched in the community where one lives. Dr. Bill Brown shares how on some Sundays, he had more men in his church as a pastor in Alaska then women, which is unheard of in most churches because he geared up for men!

On this Trail To Adventure we’ll meet someone who makes his living related to God’s great outdoors. Dave Battle lives in Anchorage, Alaska and was raised to believe in Jesus, the Bible, and creation, as he was immersed in experiencing it with his father. However, in his college years everything he was being taught as he studied to become a wildlife biologist was telling him, not only was evolution a fact but there wasn’t even a God necessary for life to exist. Yet, one day in class, an eye-opening look at how each skull he was required to examine and study from the different animal species revealed that they had to have been both intricately and intelligently designed for that animal to exist at all as the precise location of these many openings was proof positive.

This week’s interview has Gerry at the Ark Encounter with, Ken Ham, Founder of the Answers In Genesis and the Creation Museum. Located in Williamstown, Kentucky, Gerry’s guest shares about being a school teacher in Australia and liked how he was challenged on creation vs. evolution and what the Bible said on the issue. This led to Ken’s passion to present the truth of the book of Genesis and the real facts of what science reveals about God’s universe and our earth. Ken unveils how studies done by Answers In Genesis discovered why people doubt God’s Word, because of evolution and “the millions of years” yet there are many items people can learn to use to defend God’s Word. A trip to see the Ark that is the size as described in God’s Word can make the Bible become real and possible in a visitors eyes!
