An Outdoorsman in the Pulpit
November 4, 2024
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.

All of us that are blessed enough to make it to an age where we can consider retirement will have to consider what we will do with the time that God has remaining for us, before we leave this life. Most individuals that do retire say that they don’t know how they had time to work before retirement, because they are so busy in retirement. One today’s program we will meet a gentleman that is just leaving the day to day working world and seeking out what God has for him and his wife in the future. They retired when they could with the intention of spending that working time serving the Lord and others.

So many men and women have a draw towards the outdoors. Hunting or fishing draw us into a life that affects us in amazing ways. Today’s guest went through times in his youth where he wasn’t sure that he wanted to live any more. One of the things that you’ll hear today is that he wasn’t as afraid of dying as much as he was afraid to living… or at least living without a purpose When God showed up and gave him a purpose, He changed his life. Through many years of learning how God wanted him to lead, he began a ministry that now serves so many in the outdoors and lives souls are being changed.

They say that you can’t just make “old friends”. But every once in a while God sends someone into your life that becomes an old friend almost instantly. These are people that you know will be a friend for the rest of your life. Today’s guest, Bo Blackwell, is that kind of friend for our host. Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings sang a song years ago called Old Friends. In one the verses, Willie sings… Lord when all my work is done, bless my life and grant me one, old friend. Join us now with old friends.

Oh, the amazing sound of an elk in the mountains. There are few sounds more beautiful, more majestic in God’s Great Outdoors. God filled the high places of this world with the most beautiful sights and sounds. The call of the elk, the screeching of a golden eagle as it floats on the updrafts on the peaks of the Rocky Mountains. There is something about those places.
On today’s program we will climb to the highest peaks of the rockies in Wyoming. Well, at least our stories and experiences will come from that part of the country, We will join our host and his guest as they share elk hunting and elk camp stories from days gone by.

In a hunting lodge in the middle of central Michigan a family gathers each year for two very special hunts. This family is not connected by human blood, but by something much stronger. A group of otherwise unconnected individuals are drawn for two reason, to serve those that want to hunt and to share a special love for each one being served and for others.
Today’s program shares a little history of a few of those that comes from quite a distance to serve. We’ll hear the stories of some of the special children that have come to this special place, Two Hats Ranch. For the last 25 years the owners of Two Hats Ranch and Quest Ministries have offered these incredible deer hunts. For nearly 20 years there is an amazing family that have a “family reunion” of sorts. Each one has a very special bond to the others.

We all hope to one day live a comfortable life. Many work for 40+ years with the intent to one day have all we need financially and with health to be very comfortable. But what does it mean to be comfortable and are we really called to be comfortable in life? I would question if we are ever called to be comfortable spiritually.
Today’s guest will speak to the need to move out of our comfort zone and look for ways to do something that will change how we live life. He will explain it in terms of hunting dangerous game around the world and being in and being out of his comfort zone.

Every one of us is born with a heart issue and today’s guest was born with both a spiritual and a physical condition. We will hear about his battle to stay alive and how God is using him despite his heart condition.
He has had more than one physical test as well as other tests over the last 6 or 8 years and you’ll hear him tell us that you can’t have a testimony if you don’t have a test. He will also share that if we don’t give up control and allow God to handle things, we will never have peace and joy.
