My guest today is a guy that I am absolutely blessed to call my friend and

someone you have heard me speak about many times before on the podcast,

Matt Roberson. Matt is a field pastor with Revelation Outdoors, he is an

ex-Army Sniper who served two tours in Iraq, came home to be a sheriff’s

deputy with the Cross County Sheriff’s Department then joined the Arkansas

Highway Patrol. Matt and I connected several years ago when I messaged him

about possibly coming up and filming a speckled belly goose hunt. What

grabbed my attention was how open and intentional Matt was about his faith

and how he uses goose hunting to share the gospel. I didn’t know then, that

that weekend spent with Matt on his farm outside of Wynne AR would be the

start of way more than a friendship. Matt has been a spiritual grounding

rod for me, when I need to talk to someone or need some guidance… whatever

it is, Matt doesn’t always tell me what I want to hear, but everything he

tells me is firmly based on our common faith and convictions and what we

both know is biblical truth. He is a speckled belly goose fanatic and has a

drive to figure out what birds are doing and thinking like no one else I

have every hunted with. He is the chairman of the L’Anguille River

Christian Waterfowler’s Association and one of the funniest guys I know.

Believe me I spent 4 days in a truck roundtrip to and from Canada with him

and at several points had to beg him to stop because my face hurt from

laughing so hard. Today we talk about Matt’s time in the army and how his

two tours in Iraq helped shape and define his own personal faith in Christ.

We talk about our trip to Canada and tell of few stories from that trip and

just have a good time catching up. I said before that he is ADD about two

things: Jesus and Speckled Belly geese
