Let’s see them!! What was a most remembered moment. Doesn’t have to be the Kill. Maybe a moment you’ll never forget.

Dear Lord, I come before You today with a heart full of gratitude. Thank You for the gift of life, for the air I breathe, and for Your unwavering love that sustains me . Thank You for Your faithfulness and for being my source of strength. I am grateful for my family, friends, and the comfort of Your presence, even when life feels challenging. Lord, I ask that You guide my steps, thoughts, and words today. Help me to be a reflection of Your kindness to others and to recognize Your work in the small moments. I place this day into Your hands and praise Your name for all that You are and all that You do. In Jesus' name, Amen..

In case you miss the call... 1. “Missed Opportunities” Not drawing a tag Not scouting enough Waiting too long to apply - Where did you miss your shot this year? - Was it lack of preparation… or lack of urgency? - What would you do differently if you treated it like it actually mattered? 2. “Are You Actually Ready if You Draw?” - If you drew your dream tag tomorrow… would your body hold up? - Could you pack meat out solo if you had to? - Do you have your gear dialed or are you guessing? 3. “Scouting vs Hoping” - Who actually put boots on the ground last year? - Who relied on OnX and luck? - What separates a hunter from a tag holder? 4. “Hunting Alone vs Brotherhood” - Who here has ever hunted alone and hit a wall? - Who’s had a moment where another man made the difference? 5. “The Pack Out Conversation” - Everyone wants to kill… nobody talks about the pack out - That’s where men break 6. “Gear vs Skill” - What’s one piece of gear you thought would fix your problem… but didn’t? - What skill are you avoiding developing? 7. “Stories from the Mountain” - Tell me about a hunt that didn’t go as planned - What did it teach you? 8. “This Season’s Intent” - What tag are you going after? - What are you changing this year? - What are you committing to BEFORE season?

I feel compelled to tell you guys I got drawn for a bison tag in Alaska! My dad lives up there so what a blessing to share that with family while we’re still both on this side of the dirt!!! Have a blessed day brothers

I don’t know the “perfect” way to read the Bible. What I do know is this — opening it consistently has changed my life. There are still days I read a chapter and think, What in the world is this saying? I’m not a biblical scholar. I’m just a man who decided to keep showing up. For years I would read and feel confused. I’d wait until church hoping someone would explain it, and sometimes that helped… but most of the time I stayed stuck because I wasn’t engaging with it daily. Here’s what changed everything for me: - I open my study Bible every day. - I read a chapter — even if I don’t fully understand it. - Then I slow down and unpack it. And honestly, AI has helped me do that. 🧭 This is the exact prompt I use (copy & paste) “Please unpack (insert chapter) in the Bible as a biblical scholar. Give me the historical context, location, the who/what/why/where/how, the author, and explain the relevance. What message is the author trying to convey to the reader?” When you start reading Scripture with context — who wrote it, who they were writing to, what was happening historically — the words start to come alive. You begin to see: - Why it mattered then - Why it still matters now - How it applies to your own life today And the crazy part… you don’t have to be an expert to start. You just have to open it. ⚔️ My encouragement to you If you’re new to this — don’t overthink it. You don’t need perfect understanding before you begin. Understanding comes through consistency, not before it. Read. Ask questions. Reflect. Keep showing up. That’s where change happens.
