This week's program is an interview with David Morris, who shares how he got to the point where he is today, doing an outdoor deer hunting television program on whitetail deer management. David also tells the story of how, upon discovering his father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, he felt the urgency to be sure of his spiritual position. He discovered the difference between David's timing and God’s timing.

This week's interview is with Chuck Buck from Buck Knives. He shares some tips on the sharpening and care of the products they produce, plus some history of the company. Chuck also tells the story of how his dad’s hand was almost cut off and crushed by a meat grinder. After the surgery, despite how it looked, God healed his hand. Without this having taken place, it is likely there would not be a Buck Knives today.

Looking at how fearfully and wonderfully made we are is the topic of this week's program. Gerry visits with Dr. Richard Swenson to discuss how with mathematics and science used to look at creation, it is impossible to believe that it happened by chance. Together they look at a number of illustrations used in Dr. Swenson’s book More Than Meets the Eye. Clearly, we are without excuse not to see there is a Creator of the creation around us.

On this program, Gerry visits with Wildlife Biologist Dave Battle, who works in the Anchorage, Alaska area. Dave takes the listeners back to the days when he was growing up, and how the “the good ol’ boys” his dad ran around with all believed in God and went to church. So, he figured it must be something he should do, too. Later, when he was in college, everything he was hearing pointed away from God and to evolution. Something happened in one of his classes that made him realize there had to be an intelligent designer and it could not have happened by chance. The point is, there is a Creator God, and the evidence is all around us in the outdoors and the creatures that live there.
