Iron Sharpens Iron | The Trials of Life

Ode to Millie | The Loss of a Friend

This year has flown by, without a doubt, and looking back over the summer, there are so many things that happened! All of these things are wonderful, and I am looking forward to telling you more stories, but these have been overshadowed by one event in particular. In March I lost my best friend, and I needed to share this with you in order to fully face the situation. I wish I had time to tell you far more, but such is the way of the world.

Iron Sharpens Iron | The Trials of Life

Tomatos, Bacon, Lettuce, and White Bread... What more do you need in the summer time??? Not much if you ask me! How does one go about building a sandwich? This Podcast episode will NOT answer that question, but it will take a look at knife sharpening and how the process of sharpening a knife to build a sandwich relates to life. If you have ever faced the reality of a challenging situation or you have been put in a position where you were unsure how to move forward, you might have been in the position of being "honed" as a person. My grandfather, Pepa, taught me the importance of honing a knife edge and that lesson has had a direct influence on how I face life. Enjoy!!!

Play the Ball Where the Monkey Drops It | Golfing 101

Golf is one of the most challenging sports in the history of human kind.

Listen in to find out what happened on the golf course and how a troop of monkeys has begun to change the world!!!

Fishing with the Philippians | Memories and Mistakes

Have you ever wondered what it would take to become a professional bass fisherman? Have you spent hours in a Walmart sporting goods aisle weighing the choice between pumpkinseed and watermelon sparkle? Does your favorite spinnerbait have colorado or willowleaf blades??? If you don't know what I am talking about, never fear, for Jay is here!!! Fishing has been one of my fondest hobbies over the years. What I have learned as I have aged is that the sport, and the equipment used, is geared towards catching the fisherman much more than it is geared towards catching the fish. IYKYK. What does this look like as a Christian? Is there a correlation between hard work, fishing, and Jesus? Listen in to find out!!!

Turkey Hunting Memories | Gobblers and Green Jeans

Every turkey hunting story has a special twist before resolving in glory! Some days, patience is all that is required to finish a hunt. Other days, guts are needed to finish the job. Hold still, yet, and there are are rare occasions where the activity will go from 0- 80 mph faster than a hot rod on a 1/4 mile drag strip!!! Today we will highlight one such story with a very special guest, Uncle Ray Mathis, from Vicksburg, Mississippi! Hold on to your hats and sit tight because you will never guess just how every little detail will play out this week.
