OPERATION HUNT - From the Tundra to the Southern Alps: Service, Stewardship, and the Trip of a Lifetime with Craig Greer

"Humility isn't thinking less of yourself; it’s thinking of yourself less."In this episode of the Prayin and Slayin Podcast, I’m joined by an old friend and fellow Iowan, US Army Veteran Craig Greer. Craig’s journey has taken him from the small towns of Iowa to the rugged wilds of Alaska, and eventually to the mountains of New Zealand.We dive deep into the reality of military life, the distinct shift between Active Duty and the Guard, and the discipline forged in those environments. Craig shares the story of a "trip of a lifetime" to New Zealand with his father, pursuing Red Stag, Fallow deer, and rams. It’s a powerful testament to the bond between father and son and the importance of making those memories while the window is open.More importantly, we discuss the responsibility of passing this heritage down to the next generation and the "Something Good" Craig lives by: Stay humble and kind to everyone.Inside the Episode:* The Alaska Frontier: Lessons learned while stationed in the Last Frontier.* Service & Transition: Navigating the realities of Active Duty vs. the Guard.* The New Zealand Dream: A father-son journey for Red Stag and Fallow deer.* Legacy in the Field: The intentionality required to raise outdoor kids.* The Standard of Humility: Why kindness is a requirement, not a suggestion.The Scripture:"Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up." — James 4:10***PARTNER SUPPORT:The season is closer than you think.

The Courage to Ask: Zi's First Turkey and the Power of Mentorship | Jason & Zi

Everyone starts somewhere—but no one succeeds alone.In this episode of the Prayin and Slayin Podcast, we're joined by Jason and young hunter Zi as they share the story behind Zi's first successful turkey hunt. While the longbeard was the goal, the real story is about mentorship, humility, and having the courage to ask for help.Whether it's in hunting, life, or our walk with Christ, growth begins when we're willing to admit we don't have all the answers. It takes courage to seek guidance from those who have gone before us—and even greater courage to approach God with our needs.Hebrews 4:16 reminds us:"Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."That same principle plays out in the field. Zi's first turkey wasn't just the result of calling in a gobbler—it was the result of trusting a mentor, remaining teachable, and stepping into an experience that will last a lifetime.In this episode, we discuss:<ul><li>Zi's unforgettable first turkey hunt</li><li>Why mentorship is one of the greatest gifts in the outdoors</li><li>The courage and humility it takes to ask for help</li><li>What Hebrews 4:16 teaches us about seeking God's guidance</li><li>Passing on hunting traditions and building the next generation of outdoorsmen</li></ul>Whether you're introducing someone to hunting, raising the next generation, or simply looking for encouragement in your own walk, this episode is a reminder that strength isn't found in pretending you have it all together—it's found in having the courage to ask for help.This episode is brought to you by:<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.deadnutsoutdoors.com/discount/prayin10">DEADNUTS OUTDOORS</a>Take your practice beyond punching paper with DEADNUTS OUTDOORS' premium 2D lifesize archery targets.
