Acts 2 is a story of explosive growth for the church. It was not simply because of the message preached by Peter but by men and women who were committed to sincerely live in community and show the world a better way!

Today's guest goes by the name Jagger, he hails from NW Montana. Jagger was born with spina bifida but that doesn't stop him from doing what he loves to do. He loves all things outdoors but like a lot of my guests, he is most passionate about Turkey hunting!

Jagger is a resiliant young man, deomonstrating that while he has to walk with crutches, this does not stop him. His uncle has played a lage role in his life and started taking Jagger outdoors and hunting several years ago, we get to hear how Jagger has faced these challenges, but as he says, "I don't know any different, it has always been this way for me." Embracing his norm, has given Jagger a positive attitude that is contageous.

Today is a just real talk. Jon discusses some frustration in the very public failings of Christian leaders. This seems to be a very regular occurrence in the Christian world and it simply ought not be. If you are a teacher or a leader, you are held to a higher standard by God. You sin always has fallout and affects those who you are called to lead.

I met today's guest back in September when we were both speaking at an event in Cartersville, Georgia. After hearing him speak, I knew I wanted him on the show. His name is Blake Hamby. Blake says, he has always had a passion for hunting. He attended Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College for a year in 2008 as a Wildlife Management major. After that, he worked as a Wrangler, guiding people on horseback at the 320 Guest Ranch in Big Sky, Montana for a couple of years. He then returned home and began guiding deer and hog hunts in Southern Illinois and South Alabama for a while, before deciding it was time to settle down and pursue a job that provided a living wage.

After marrying his wife, they launched a small apparel line called Southern Longbeards. Together, they started and ran their local NWTF Chapter for six years. Currently, he works in Sales at Three Way Campers in Marietta, Georgia, a position he has held for nearly ten years. He and his family are also deeply involved in their small church in downtown Adairsville, Georgia. Additionally, he helps coach his sons in baseball and football.

Blake is also a successful Out of State hunter. Traveling to several states to hunt and he shares with us some of his keys to success in doing so. As we discussed, hunting out of state on your own is not difficult with some key scouting, planning and the desire to make it happen.

We all seek something: a deer, a duck, a fish, an elk, but are we committed to seeking after God?

At age 9 our guest was diagnosed with stage 4 Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma after spending more than 100 days in the hospital, he got to go home....for 1 day before returning for another 60+ days. His treatments were brutal. For years Sky fought this deadly disease....during his recovery,

Blake Lawson of Haller Back Game Calls taught Skye to build a pot call and that lead to his starting his own call business www.skyehighgamecalls.com.

Today Skye is mentoring a lot of cancer patients, and others as he teaches them about hunting turkeys and the struggles of life as a cancer patient.

Skye is 18 years old, shy and someone who leaned on his faith during his treatments and his recovery. His story is one of resiliance and a strong faith in God.

The New Year is a time of reflection and one this is very clear, our God, is a God of second chances! It doesn't matter how bad you messed up, or if you don't have anything to offer God, in His goodness and grace He extends His forgivesness and invites you to walk with Him!
