Monte Browning, for a period of time, held the world’s record for the largest Alaskan brown bear ever killed. Monte shot this big animal with his long bow at only 10 paces away as it passed him. He believes and shares with the youngsters in his Sunday School class that this experience was not as frightening as the experience most Christians have about saying the blessing over their food in public restaurants. He tells the story of how God got a hold of him on another bear hunt, and how he was challenged by the Holy Spirit to become a reader and a doer of God’s Word.

Ex-Philadelphia Eagles football player, Rich Garza, is the guest visiting with Gerry. He is in the middle of a speaking blitz to middle school and high school students, as well as detention center inmates in Gerry’s home area of Ohio. Rich is just one of the pros from Sports World, a ministry that gets into school systems, where these men share their testimonies with those who attend. Rich talks about the fact that his life-long dream of becoming a pro football player, having been accomplished, revealed that it could not satisfy the God-shaped hole we all have and try to fill with something else. In his case, it included drugs and alcohol until he gave his life to Jesus Christ.

Gerry visits with his and Cyndi’s old friends, Charlie and Yvonne Weihrouch. On this trip, Gerry felt enough time had elapsed since this family had experienced the tragic accidental death and loss of their daughter, Megan, in a farming accident to talk about how they made it through this difficult time in their lives. The couple share about their daily chores at running a dairy farm, and the experiences that this business has had in their lives and that of their family. Being so close to the outdoors, it is no surprise that this family also enjoys the bounty of God’s great outdoors out their own back door as they also love to deer hunt together.
