God's Great Outdoors

Life is a series of new beginnings. Each morning when we wake up, it is a new opportunity to live for the Lord. This week we move from 2024 to 2025 and we don’t know what the year will bring. It’s often said that we don’t know what the future holds, but we know who holds the future. The God that created everything… Is the one that we can count on to see us through whatever lays ahead for each of us.As we move into the new year we thought it would be fun to bring our most listened to and most requested program back for an encore appearance. This program has more laughing that all of the rest of the programs combined. If you have never heard it, you will be greatly entertained and if you have heard it before… you will laugh even harder this time, More importantly, that the laughter is the story of new beginnings with the two brothers that join us. They share how they went from a life of religion to a life of relationship with Jesus Christ. Because of the boldness of a good friend and his persistence in sharing the Gospel

Those of us that live in a time of immediate information have no idea what it would be like to live in a place or a time where you have no idea what is going on outside our little world. The Bible talks about in end times travel and knowledge will increase.  If we look back over the last 100 years travel has increased at amazing rates.  There was a time, not to long ago, when most people rarely traveled 100 from home.  Today many of us travel across the country or around the world all the time. Today we will learn about a chief from the deep jungles of South America and how he went from being filled with demons to becoming filled with the Holy Spirit.  Most of us live in a sheltered atmosphere

There is a great blessing in both the young and the old as we enjoy the outdoors together.  One of the things that we have lost in recent times is the passing of wisdom from one generation to the next.  There are few places where it is easier to share in these times than in a fishing boat or hunting blind.  We often fail to take advantage of the opportunities to share in these special times. On today program we will join a grandfather and grandson on a very special fishing trip in Northwest Ontario, at Rushing Winds Camp

Our God is a God of new beginnings.  He provided for so many people throughout the Bible, in the new and old testaments.  He restored so many individuals, including king David, Moses, Joseph and all of Joseph’s family. Many of our listeners are going through a tough time right now, having lost a loved one or maybe in the process of saying goodbye to someone.  We understand that these are things that we will never get over…  But with God’s help we can get through them victoriously.

It seems that life at times is nothing more than a series of one loss after another, from beginning to end. That seems to be a given. It’s how we respond to those losses, that gets us through.  For those that have their hope in Jesus Christ, we have the only chance for peace in the midst of life’s losses. Today’s guest has had to deal with some terrible losses in his life and he has gotten through.  As you will hear him say, we get through our losses. But we never get over them.

Someday all of God’s children will hear a trumpet call and we will rise up and join Him in the air for all eternity.  The trumpet is used by the military to start the day and to end it…  as well as to honor those that have passed away.  There is something very special about the trumpet call. Today’s guest has played his trumpet in 37 countries all around the globe and it has opened many doors, not for entertainment, but to glorify God. Today he will share several adventures in the jungles and on the rivers in South America.

Old age might not be all it’s cracked up to be… but for a few, it is an amazing trip. Today’s guest has certainly outlived most if not all of our listeners.  He has seen more changes in his 100 years that most of us will ever see.  He has been blessed to live through a World War and many other hardships.  And still today God sustains him.

There is an old saying that starts with, “Out of the mouths of babes”.   Kids are honest. At times, children will say things that adults often find embarrassing if it happens to be around other adults. Children notice things we often don’t, or they are perhaps not as desensitized to the feelings and ideas of others. Come along today and learn about how God used a preschool girl to point her parents to a life lived for Jesus Christ

Most people in America don’t think of pastors as real guys.  Often they are thought of as someone that is unapproachable and stuffed shirt.  On today’s show you will meet a pastor that is anything but those things.  He is an outdoorsman through and through and his passion for hunting and fishing are only surpassed by his passion for his savior and his family. Come along now and join our host, Dean Hulce as we share the life with a pastor and special Michigan outdoorsmen as they talk about life in God’s Great Outdoors as they travel together down the Trail To Adventure.

From Deep In The Heart of Texas, this week our host visits with a man that has spent his life hunting and fishing South Texas in the hill country  and the brush country.  He lived most of his life chasing the American dream in business and the outdoors.  Losing his wife at a young age brought big changes in his life. Today, Jesus Christ is the most important part of his life.  He has spent much of the last several years serving others, while serving the Lord through the outdoors.  Today you’ll hear of how our guest has given up much of his hunting to not only share in the hunting and fishing experience but also share in a hope and trust in Jesus Christ.
