The vision and goal of COFA are to use God’s great outdoors through hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, and other activities, to promote the gospel and a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Currently, COFA is developing programs to gather men, women, families (which include single parents) together through the great outdoors experience. We want to encourage those involved with COFA to have a personal relationship with the Lord and become involved in a local church. Can you imagine the impact we could make if each one of us made Jesus real to every hunter, fisherman, hiker or camper that we met out in the woods, waters, and fields? Friend, I will tell you, the only Jesus that most people will ever see is Jesus in you. Think about that! Do you make a difference in today’s world? Remember that as a believer, others are watching your every move, and God wants you to use your gifts, talents and outdoor interests for Him. The doors are open for sharing the gospel and the tools are right at your fingertips: mountains, meadows, lakes, streams, trees, and prairies. God’s handiwork and the beauty of His creation are just waiting to be shared with those around you. Let COFA help you make it happen. Invite your family and friends to a COFA event today, and let’s enjoy the great outdoors as God intended. www.cofausa.org www.taurususa.com www.cva.com www.himtnjerky.com www.citrusafe.com www.nukemhunting.com www.birddogcoffeebeans.com www.christianoutdoors.org Learn more about your ad choices.

Legendary all-American frontman and guitarist, Mark Farner, was the engine that pulled the original Grand Funk Railroad repeatedly to the top of the charts, and today he’s a platinum recording artist 30 times over. At age 75, Farner commands the stage with the same intensity and outpouring of love as he did during the summer of ’69 and his fans are still flocking to see “the Captain.” The rock patriot’s synergy and open heart still come through in epic hits that defined a generation including— “I’m Your Captain” (Closer to Home)” “We’re An American Band” “Heartbreaker” “Bad Time To Be In Love” and recut covers of “The Loco-Motion” and “Some Kind of Wonderful.” Being viewed as a “Rockstar” is only one facet of the legacy of this Michigan-born son. Mark is as real as they get: he’s a husband, a father, and grandfather, and in his fourth decade of marriage to wife Lesia. He’s a true family man. “Love is unconditional,” he explains. “Just like when you hold a baby, the love transfers. I feel that love from the audience when I’m on stage.” Farner, the rock patriot that he is, works tirelessly to honor our nation’s service personnel and Veterans wherever they are stationed. He wants everyone to remember the huge sacrifices our men and women in the armed services freely give; all to protect our amazing country and freedoms. Some 50 years later something magical still happens when Farner takes the stage. His voice is still strong and on key, his guitar playing still slick and lighting quick, and his trademark prancing still commands the stage and mesmerizes his audiences around the world. “I love playing live where I can connect with people of all backgrounds,” he said. “ It’s all about the fans…and all about love.” At the age of 9 Farner accepted Jesus at his dad's wake and since then has been in hot porusuit of the love found only through the blood of Christ. He is unashamed of his faith and his passion, with 4 "God Rock" albums to his credit, his mission today is to share his passion for music adn his passion for Jesus with his hoards of fans around the world. www.nukemhunting.com www.taurususa.com https://www.taurususa.com www.cva.com https://www.cva.com www.citrusafe.com https://www.citrusafe.com www.birddogcoffeebeans.com www.christianoutdoors.org

Getting a royal turkey slam in a hunting career is a great accomplsihment for any dedicated turkey hunter. Doing it in one season is amazing. Just the logistics alone can be daunting. But to be able to travel from Florida, North Carolina, South Dakota, Texas and Mexico and get a bird in the same season is a feat few have accomplished. Pat Newcomb is the designer and developer of Nukem Grab and Go hunting Blinds, accomplished this remarkable feat last season and he is here to share how he did it and what it took to get it done.

I have done this show for 218 episodes and have met a lot of fine people and heard a plethora of stories and encounters with Christ. Few, if any are as passionate about sharing Jesus to others as is today’s guest. Andy Kaminski with Rugged Cross outdoors has a passion for Jesus that is infectious, and sincere. Speaking with Andy was unlike any interview I have done. His deep passion for Jesus and sharing his faith with others was moving and his stories of how God intervened on a hunt with a lost hunter is remarkable and inspiring.

In sharing the outdoors with the youth it also gives them a platform to share the love of Jesus with these youth. https://ruggedcrossoutdoors.org/

As a U.S. Merchant Marine Commander, Rocky was sentenced to life in a Mexican federal prison for conspiracy to over through the national government and international drug trafficking in a misguided attempt to help indigenous people in southern Mexico. Yet, arrest, sentencing, incarceration, and pardon occurred in a miraculous 72 hours.

Social outcomes were breathtaking: an 80% reduction in teen pregnancy, up to 37% increase in high school graduates, and zero reported suicides in the last 13 years. In 2021, Rocky and his family moved to Houston, Texas. The mission: to bring their international ministry success to U.S. public schools through chaplains. The vision is simple: to give school-aged children the tools they need to make quality life decisions. Rocky and Joske were married in Groningen, Holland, in 1990 and had five beautiful children, all serving the Lord. Rocky regularly speaks on visionary leadership, educator, and children’s rights. This episode will motivate you, educate you and inspire you to see, that God's plan for you is greater than you can imagine. Trusting in Him, and following him wherever he leads will cause miracles to happen. The Chaplain in the School program is a very tough hill to climb, but we beleive that it is possible and necessary to reach the lost. https://www.nationalschoolchaplainassociation.org
