I finally got my wife to sit down and record an episode! To hear and share not only a non-hunters perspective but a non-hunters wife perspective. I often wonder how she deals with my obsession and was pleasantly surprised by some of her perspective. This is absolutely candid, some of the topics we've discussed before, some I was "saving" for an ep and some well again totally candid... us being us. Enjoy the episode.

I had the honor to sit down with Brandon Shook. I "met" Brandon via Instagram at the early on set of Covid when he was doing lives, hoping to just help folks weave through the uncertainty of what we were just starting to experience and use the gospel in a way that only Shook can, highly inspirational and impactful on me now and at the time. We get into his motivations, his walk with God and his hopes to share the word with whomever, wherever and the reasons why. We might have talked a bit of hunting as well. Enjoy the episode.
