In this episode we will talk shooting, guns, bows, and even pornography.  Andrew shows off his understanding of the human mind and body and illustrates the spiritual process of salvation and a life-long realtionship with Jesus. 

In this episode we discuss how Jesus kept us alive through involuntary piercings of all sorts, from fish hooks to spears and nail guns, along with some sibling stories we can all relate to.  As usual all of it brings us back to the gospel and our Savior Jesus who was pierced for our salvation (Psalm 22:16).  We had a few delay issues in recording which made for some awkward laughs and interruptions but we got it figured out and decided to go ahead and put it out there, because we are NOT ASHAMED! Hope you enjoy. Give em Jesus!!

This may be my favorite episode so far. In this episode we are gonna talk Bible, Buddies, and Bows! We start of with a discussion on Colossians 2:8 and discerning God's voice, then we talk about our buddy One-legged Josh, and we finish up with a great talk by Andrew about how his bow-building obsession is about about more than just a bow, and it's really good!  "You might just learn something."

In this episode we pick up where we left off talking about Bows and Jesus. We will tell some stories about sharing Jesus with some atheists and agnostics, and Galatians 2:20 gets interupted at the end by my neighbor shooting his guns!  Real people, real stories, real life!

Hear the details of how Andrew and Marlana delivered their second son unexpectedly fast in their own bedroom, and then Andrew asks Todd to tell the Gear Story of how God used a gear lost on a dirt road to share Jesus with thousands of people!   

In This episode you get a quick colorful introduction to who we are and how we got here on both sides of this mic. Unscripted I was surprised when Andrew asked me to tell the story of why I do what I do, and then he gave his story about His journey back to Jesus. Though it will be uncharacteristic of future episodes, he uses a little language in his story today because it is raw and real. We aren't trying to impress people by cleaning up our stories to make ourselves look good, we just want to share stories of how God Redeems Rednecks! If He can use us, He can use anybody!

Hey this is just a little Intro and sample of some of what you can expect to hear in future episodes of Redneck Redemption  as Andrew and I share Jesus through  some crazy real life stories!
