What can hunting teach us about our relationship with God? Quite a lot, according to twin brothers Chad and James Hampton, pastors, hunters, and founders of Huntin’ the Truth Ministries. For years, these brothers have used their love of the outdoors as a bridge to share the Gospel and encourage people to grow deeper in their faith. Now, they’ve brought those lessons together in their new devotional, 100 Days of Strength for Hunters. Through stories from the field, biblical wisdom, and even a little brotherly competition, Chad and James remind us that just as a successful hunt requires preparation, discipline, and focus, so does our walk with God. Today, we’ll talk about what the outdoors has taught them about faith, perseverance, and pursuing the One who gives our lives lasting purpose. #christ #jesus #devotional #hunter #hunting #deerseason #conservation #strength #spiritualgrowth #jesuschrist #salvation

Ladies and gentlemen, I am a reader and I read all sorts of books. I keep my politics to myself, because in this day and age, no one wants to have an intelligent conversation and listen before shouting down each other. I love having Mr. Dershowitz on my show, because it’s nice to have an intelligent conversation, one in which I can become the student and listen to someone with far more experience and insight than I do. His newest book, WHY I QUIT THE DEMS AND WHY YOU SHOULD TOO! Is more than a fantastic read, it Is a history lesson of the past, it gives insights of the present and a warning of the future, which might not end well if stupid people keep getting elected. Think of it this way, the American people should be more like Daniel in the Bible and pray for God to shut the mouths of the lions that just keep roaring to get their point across. As the Bible says, Satan goes around like a roaring lion. So I encourage you get Alan Dershowitz’s newest book, WHY I QUIT THE DEMS AND YOU SHOULD TOO. It’s available on Amazon right now. His book completely dismantles the hard lefts agenda and also allows you to see that all the news you maybe watching is nothing more than a controlled narrative to brainwash you. #politics #midterms #dems #GOP #election #antisemitism #racism #freespeech #newbook

THE CHAPLAIN AND THE DOCTOR is filled with warmth and humor, this buddy film follows two unlikely allies working to bring curiosity, connection, and compassion to a broken healthcare system - one patient at a time. Betty Clark is an 80-year-old, African American chaplain on staff at The Wilma Chan Highland Hospital Campus, the level-one trauma center in Oakland, California. Jessica Zitter is a white Jewish physician who has been Betty’s colleague on the Palliative Care service for over a decade. The two women are an unlikely team: chaplains and doctors do not usually pair up within the hierarchical and siloed halls of the hospital. Dr. Zitter, trained to believe in medical interventions and science, was not seeking a relationship with a chaplain. And Chaplain Clark never expected the doctor to take interest in her work.  But with time, the two women’s shared values and history overcome the forces that keep them apart, and they go on to do their best work together.  THE CHAPLAIN & THE DOCTOR models a new kind of care, one that honors both spirit and body, the diverse backgrounds of patients, and the most human needs we all share.  This is a must see film documentary not just about the story of two women who take their purpose and professions to help others, but we see that it help each other to become even better versions of themselves. #healtcare #doctor #chaplain #documentary #film #filmmaker #filmmaking #filmdirector #bondoncinema #medicine #faith #spiritual #healing
