439 - Stetson Stafford, Evangelist and Hunter

Stetson Stafford was born and raised in the mountains of North Carolina, in a small town called Plumtree in Avery County—the home of Grandfather Mountain. Stetson has been hunting for as long as he can remember, ever since he was big enough to carry a BB gun. While his dad didn't focus much on deer or turkey hunting, he raised his brother and him running black bear in the mountains with dogs and occasionally took them deer hunting. His grandfather and great-grandfather later introduced him to deer and turkey hunting, which only deepened his passion. Hunting has always been a major part of his life, and he enjoys pursuing just about anything that has a season. He was saved at 10 years old and surrendered to God's call to preach at the age of 20. He married his wife, Bethany, in 2020, and they now live in South Carolina, where she's from. They have a four-year-old son, Hudson, and are expecting a baby girl this July. Today, at 30 years old, he is in full-time evangelism, traveling across the country preaching in revivals, youth meetings, wild game dinners, and wherever else the Lord opens a door. The outdoors have given him another platform to share the gospel with people he meets from all over who may never step foot into a church.

438- Devotions - Remember

This past Monday our nation paused to remember those who have fallen in service to our great nation. This idea of rememberance is powerful and found throughout the pages of Scripture. Today we take a brief look at Hebrews 13.7 and seek to remember those who have taught us the ways of the Word.

437 - Devotions - Weariness

Galatians 6.9 says, "Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary." Wherever God has called you stick with it! Fruit is never produced overnight but is always something that takes time.

436 - Devotions - Failed Turkey Hunt

Sometimes equipment fails that is why we must do regular check up on the tools we use in the woods but also on the spiritual tools that guard our hearts.

434 - Devotions - Fully Seen...Fully Loved

The beauty of our God is that while He fully sees us He also could not love us anymore. True we are messy but just as true, He is fully of grace, mercy, and love. Rest in that this week!

432 - Devotions - Just Lost A Friend

This morning I recieved word that a dear old friend, ministry leader, and mentor had passed away. So what you get today is very much in the moment. Today I just share a couple verses that the Lord brought to mind. While I do not feel it is appropriate to share names at this time, I would ask that you please pray for the wife, children, and grandchildren of my friend. Philippians 1 & Revelation 2.5
