It is certainly possible that we have never seen a time, at least in our lifetime, where family is so important. It is our responsibility, as parents, to raise our kids to be able to one day provide for themselves and to teach them the skills necessary to one day be sustainable members of society. This is exactly what drew me in to Henry and Lakeisha’s story. They have prioritized their relationship with God, they have prioritized their marriage in a world where marriages fall apart every day, and they have prioritized the art of being self sufficient. And the incredible thing is that they are teaching all of these skills to their kids. Connect with Henry and Lakeisha at the links below!

Highlights: family time and marriage, building a platform as a married couple, the start of HALO Chronicles, turkey hunting, putting your family first, involving your kids in hunting, Turning Point USA, continuing to build a family bond, learning new things, accepting challenges, balancing hunting and family
