This week Dan and Reid host Drake White for the most inspiring episode of God’s Country yet. Drake talks about his 14-year journey in a ten-year town and how he’s kept a positive attitude amidst his traumatic brain injury.

Everyone agreed “Lord I Hope This Day Is Good” is the perfect song to listen to on your way to the stand and laughed over the instructions given to them over the years on how to find said stand.
