For an outdoorsman or outdoorswoman, there is no better place to be than in the woods or on the water. Most of us look for every opportunity to get out into the outdoors to spend time alone or along with others. There is something that draws us back over and over again. For many until the day we die.

For those of us with kids or grandkids, it is one of the best places to introduce them to not only God's amazing creation, but more importantly the Creator Himself. There are so many things that point us to Jesus Christ and all that he has done in creation. If we allow God to speak through all that He created, introducing Him to others comes easier.

Each of us comes to places in our lives where we have to make long-lasting decisions. We can choose to run in to trouble or run away from it. The choice is usually easy to make if we think before acting. Then there are times when we know what's right and we don't need to wait… we just need to run.

On today's program, we visit with a young man who grew up amongst the crawling and slithering creatures of the Okefenokee Swamp of the deep south of Georgia. He dealt with all kinds of situations when he had to make choices to run or stand. Thankfully he made the right choices.

There is a special relationship between a father and son. Often it's a bond that will carry far beyond the death of either one or the other. In our lives, we truly don't know how much of an impact we have on our
children, for the good or bad. We need to realize the people we see and talk to on a daily basis are watching us closely to see if our words match our deeds.

All too often in our churches a pastor is put in a position where he can never be just one of the guys. The pressures, responsibilities and expectations on a pastor make it so he can't let his hair down and be himself.

On today's program, we will meet a special pastor who is able to do that within and outside his church. We will learn about the difficulty of many other pastors who aren't able to do that. Most pastors might go years without being able to relax and truly just be one of the guys. The expectations on many pastors make it hard on not only himself, but on his family as well.

In today's world, everything is high speed this and high tech that and we seem to going 100 miles per hour. There doesn't seem to be enough time to accomplish all that we want to day to day.

On today's program, we will hear from a pastor who has worked with adults and kids alike. We will talk about what it means to "be still" in this world that is anything but still. We will learn what the Bible says about our need to just "be still" in the midst of chaos.

"No Man Is an Island." … You probably already know this phrase. The words are universally known and often-quoted by men and women all over the world, an expression of the idea that men do badly when isolated from others and need to be part of a community in order to thrive. Connection is important for the wellbeing and the survival of any man. No one can stand alone like an island that is surrounded only by a sea of temptation and pain.

Do you ever feel angry with God? Do you ever wonder if it's ok to be angry with God? Is He big enough to take it?

I think we all have times when we wonder what God is up to and most of us, if we really think about it, have been angry with God at one time or another in our lives. Often we don't get our way and believe God has made a mistake. But down deep we know that this isn't possible.

In today's world, we all fight against being too busy. There are so many things that draw on our time. It's too easy to fall into a pattern of the world pulling us away from what's important. When we're not careful, we are drawn into a place of meaningless waste of valuable time. There is a big difference between that kind of business and being busy in the work of the Lord.

On today's program, we'll visit with a pastor who loves the outdoors, but rarely gets to enjoy time in the places that he loves so much. This pastor has worked doing many things in the building trades, local schools, hospitals and nursing homes, jails and other places… all while caring for a church family as a pastor.
