For many that have lived a sheltered life, today’s show will likely be eye opening. The story of a man raised in conservative teachings to a life of crime and a return to the teachings of his youth.
One of the best known stories of the Bible is the “Prodigal Son”… Today’s guest lived it out. We’ll hear stories chasing moose on the lakes and in the northern bush of Canada, to police chases and chasing cows for competition. We cover two countries and many stops along the way. It’s a great story of what the power of God can do in a life, when he’s invited in.
Hold to tight for today’s show it’s a fast and bumpy and sometimes surprising ride in and out of God’s Great Outdoors… A true journey down the trail to many adventures

Sometimes God uses the most common people in the most uncommon ways. Today’s guest was just such a person and used in just such a way by God. We started out today’s program with great intentions of sharing some very funny fishing stories and we got sidetracked into the history and God workings in a most amazing way.
Our guest looks very familiar to many and once you hear the program you’ll understand why. Over and over again you will hear, “God is doing something here” , and He was. This is one of our favorite programs and the radio portion doesn’t have a lot of what we would characterize as outdoor activity, but the story of what God did in a small town is well worth the listen. Don’t miss the podcast to get the rest of the story.

In many times of hunting using calls is a big part of the hunt. Calling game is a great way to be successful in the hunts. You and I all have a calling on our lives. Sometimes that calling might change in one season of life to the next, But know that God does have a calling for you and He is preparing you to live that calling out. Today’s guest thought he was going to become a professional fisherman. He thought that was his calling in life. He soon realized that God was preparing him for something much different, a much higher calling

For men in our world there are not many things more important that the relationships between a father and his son. All too often today we are drawn away by the demands of the world on our time and efforts.
On today’s Trail To Adventure in God’s Great Outdoors we will hear from a pastor and his father-in-law about how God used God’s Great Outdoors and Gerry Caillouet many years ago to make a difference not only in these two men’s lives but through many hundreds of men over the last nearly 20 years.
The Bible tells us that “Iron sharpens Iron” and there are not many places that it works better than in a hunting or fishing camp or in a fishing boat. We’ll hear how that plays out on today’s program.

God changes men’s hearts all the time and yet as Christians we often see someone that seems to have everything in place in their lives and we question if they could make a choice to follow Jesus. Today’s guest seemed to have it all. Great job, owner of a great company, freedom to do whatever he wanted to do. Yet, he had a hole in his life. Then one day, he heard about a man named Jesus, that allowed Himself to be hung on the cross just for him.Today, that same outdoorsman that seemed to have everything, left it all behind and went to work sharing the gospel at a Cowboy Church in the cattle country of South Texas.

If you were one of the top winning fisherman of all time as well as someone that was on national TV for several decades it might be easy to show a little pride in yourself. However, today’s guest is just that fisherman… but you’ll see he is a humble man that gives the credit to God for all those things he’s been blessed with.Life has gotten so busy and noisy and you’ll hear about the necessity of slowing down, being still and resting on the Lord. The generations of today rarely take the opportunity to be still, and it is something that we need to do.

Sometimes God brings His children together in the most unusual ways. Today’s guest saw the logoed God’s Great Outdoors Truck in a hotel parking lot in Lafayette Louisiana and the next day God placed our host and his guest at the side of the truck at the same time. Both of the men and their wives happened to be heading to North Houston the next day and met
Our guest will share about his love for the outdoors and his love for the Lord. We will travel from the woods of Louisiana to hard streets of Houston where he and others are leading men and women to the Lord as they come out of rough lives of sin.

Some of us have lived fairly sheltered lives and at times we feel as though we don’t have a testimony as many others we know. Then there are those that lived out a full sinful life at a young age. Today’s guest came from a life of drugs to a life of service for the Lord… A life of living for the next high to living for the next chance to share the Gospel. God has used this past drug dealer to build churches and to finance ministry all over the world. The churches that he has pastored have financed missionaries to the African bush to cowboys on the rodeo grounds. No mater how far you feel you are from where God wants you, today’s show will show you that you are never beyond the reach of a loving God. It also will show those that might be dealing with addictions that there is hope in the Lord.

Sometimes God chases those He has called a long way for we allow Him to get ahold of us. On today’s show we will learn of a man that God follow around the world, from North Carolina to Africa, the Artic Ocean, Hawaii, and He finally got his attention in British Columbia, Canada. The amazing thing is that in the same time that the Holy Spirit caught up to him, he also caught up to his wife, in Kona Hawaii and all that after 40 years of waiting for them to turn their lives over to Him. Our guest today has lead a very adventuresome life as a professional fisherman that became a professional fisher-of-men. He has guided to some of the biggest fish in the world and God didn’t call him out of that, but instead allows him to win souls for Christ, sometimes right from his boat.
