Red Letters & Whitetails Podcast
I believe if you rewind mankind to the beginning and let us do our existence all over again, many of things we do today for work and hobbies wouldn't stick again. Three things would though; there is a primal instinct inside of every single one of us as humans to Explore, to Hunt, and to Eat. As the hunting industry has grown, we have gotten away from the basic reasons why we hunt. Hunting shows don't seem to show the true story of the hunt anymore. It's not about the score or size of the animal, its about the process; the process of exploring the land, hunting the animal, and eating the animal you harvest. This is the way the legends of the industry did it before our time; legends such as Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett, Teddy Roosevelt, Jim Bridger, Aldo Leopold, and the great Fred Bear. We're Going back to the roots of Hunting, and why we hunt. Chasing the way the Legends did it before us.We Explore.We Hunt. We Eat.

Mathew 18:15 & Balancing Family, Work, & the Outdoors (Part 2) w/ Nate Griswold
Welcome to the Red Letters & Whitetails podcast! On episode 7, host Steven Crawford is back for part 2 of a 3-part series talking about how to balance family, work and the outdoors with Nate Griswold- a friend an avid Michigan public land hunter.
Before the discussion with Nate, Steven shares some big personal news, then jumps into the gospel of Matthew, where he does a deep dive into Matthew 18:15. This verse goes like this, "If your brother or sister in God's family does something wrong, go and tell them what they did wrong. Do this when you are alone with them. If they listen to yo, then you have helped them to be your brother or sister again." This all ties back to be a Loving person in God; by not avoiding what needs to be said, you are showing love. When you are avoiding what needs to be said, you are showing the opposite of love. If someone you love is doing something wrong, do you really love them if you aren't calling them out on it?
After a discussion around the Letters in Red, Steven and Nate discuss balancing family, work, and the outdoors. Something we can all strive to be better at! Nate is married with a 7 year old son and 10 year old son, so his hands have been tied for quite a few hunting seasons now, and he has learned how to prioritize what is important during whitetail season and still finding time to spend in the great outdoors chasing whitetails. This was a great conversation that would be great for any father, or expecting father to listen to!
