I Took My Son Dove Hunting… Then God Taught Me Something Cross Trails Outdoors 2026-09-17 | What happens when a simple dove hunt with your kids turns into a conversation about fatherhood, faith, legacy, and discipleship?In this episode of Cross Trails, John and Troy talk about taking their kids dove hunting—and how the experience became a reminder of what really matters. The hunt wasn't just about birds, guns, or being outdoors. It was about spending time together, teaching responsibility, building memories, passing down a heritage, and creating opportunities to point our kids toward God.We talk about the importance of being present with your children, putting the phone down, teaching kids how to work, simplifying life, and making the outdoors a place where conversations about Jesus happen naturally.We also get real about the challenge of balancing work, ministry, marriage, fatherhood, and the temptation to become so busy doing good things that we neglect the people God has placed closest to us.One of the biggest questions of the episode is this:What are you actually passing down to your kids?Proverbs 22:6 reminds us to train up a child in the way he should go. Deuteronomy 6 reminds us to continually talk about God's commands with our children—when we sit at home, when we walk along the road, when we lie down, and when we get up.The goal isn't simply to raise kids who know how to hunt, hike, fish, camp, or navigate the outdoors.It's to raise kids who know Jesus.0:00 – Welcome to Cross Trails1:43 – Jack's First Dove Hunt5:12 – Why Dove Hunting Is Great With Kids8:24 – Passing Down a Heritage10:38 – Teaching Responsibility & Work Ethic13:06 – Building Memories That Last15:40 – A Family Baptism & A Good Day17:07 – When Being Too Busy Hurts Your Family20:24 – Your First Discipleship Responsibility Is at Home23:07 – Fatherhood Is a Gift AND a Responsibility24:42 – Are We Giving Our Kids More Stuff or a Better Life?27:04 – The Gear Doesn't Matter as Much as You Think30:52 – Proverbs 22:6 & Raising Kids34:37 – Finding Your God-Given Vision37:49 – Deuteronomy 6:7: Teaching Faith Every Day41:34 – The Impact of Consistent Faith43:19 – Why Men Need Other Men45:18 – The World Needs More Godly Men47:06 – Closing Thoughts#CrossTrails #ChristianPodcast #Fatherhood #ChristianFatherhood #Hunting #DoveHunting #Discipleship #ChristianDad #FaithAndFamily #Outdoors

This 4-Year Hunt Came Down to ONE Blood Trail Cross Trails Outdoors 2026-09-03 | Four years. One incredible Kentucky buck. And a bow shot at just 12 yards.In this episode of Cross Trails, Troy tells the story of the full-velvet buck he had been watching and patterning for years. Originally nicknamed “Uni” because of a unique kicker on his antler, this buck finally presented an opportunity on opening day of September bow season.But the hunt didn't end when the arrow hit.After waiting 45 minutes to an hour, Troy climbed down expecting to find the buck where he believed he had heard him crash. Instead, the deer was gone. What followed was a lesson in patience, discipline, and proper blood tracking that every deer hunter—especially new hunters—needs to hear.Most importantly, this conversation goes beyond the hunt. We talk about why the experience, the people you're with, and learning to enjoy the process can sometimes matter more than whether you tag the biggest buck.0:00 Cross Trails: Faith & the Outdoors0:44 Story Time with Troy1:16 The Poison Ivy & Chigger Disaster3:31 The Story of the Buck4:31 Why September Bow Hunting Is Special6:54 The Velvet Buck They've Been Watching7:08 Four Years of Waiting for “Uni”8:15 Patterning the Buck9:27 The Underwear & Muck Boots Strategy10:16 The Buck Appears11:05 A 12-Yard Bow Shot13:19 “Don't Mess This Up”13:46 The Full-Velvet Buck14:38 The Longest 45 Minutes15:32 The Deer Is Gone?!16:04 How to Track a Wounded Deer17:09 The Tracking Mistake Hunters Make18:13 Why Deer Can Run Much Farther18:43 The Recovery & Giving Back19:13 The Joy of Finding the Deer20:14 Why Helping Recover a Deer Is So Special21:26 Hunting With Friends & Family22:27 Hunting With Your Kids23:06 The Buck’s Final Score23:44 The Adrenaline of Bowhunting25:24 Learning to Control the Jitters26:23 When Hunting Feels Like Ministry28:38 The Blood-Tracking Technique29:44 You Haven't Finished Until You Find the Deer30:29 Blood Tracking Is Three-Dimensional31:41 The Monster Buck Story33:04 “I Found Him”34:28 Learning to Love the Process35:00 Finding Contentment in Hunting36:27 Philippians 4:13 & Being Content37:13 Learning to Be Present38:12 “Water on a Duck’s Back”39:25 What's Coming Next on Cross Trails40:42 It's Almost Go Time41:22 Deer Season, Duck Season & What's Ahead42:07 Thanks for WatchingSubscribe to Cross Trails and come along as we explore where faith and the outdoors intersect.#DeerHunting #BowHunting #CrossTrails #WhitetailDeer #KentuckyHunting #Hunting #ChristianOutdoors

We Started Talking Hunting… Then Got Into the Armor of God Cross Trails Outdoors 2026-08-28 | What does it really take to get ready for a day of hunting?In this episode of the Cross Trails Podcast, John Kelley, Troy Whitmore, and Taylor Wilson sit down to talk about everything that goes into preparing for a successful day in the woods.From waking up before daylight and getting your gear organized to scent control, hunting clothes, boots, backpacks, headlamps, cameras, bows, safety equipment, and more, the guys walk through how they prepare before heading out to hunt.The conversation also gets into experimenting with new hunting gear, including camo and concealment systems, and the importance of practicing with your bow before the moment of truth arrives. One thing becomes clear: you don't just show up on opening day and expect everything to go perfectly. Preparation matters.But then the conversation takes an unexpected turn.The guys begin talking about one of the most important things they can do before a hunt: pray. That leads into a conversation about Ephesians 6 and the full armor of God—the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, shield of faith, shoes of peace, helmet of salvation, and sword of the Spirit.Whether you're getting ready for bow season, deer hunting, or simply trying to grow in your faith, this episode is a reminder that being prepared matters—in the woods and in life.What is the ONE thing you never leave home without when you're going hunting?
