Jason's Bio
Bio ... In Jason's Own Words.
A family tree can provide wild insights into a man's story. My family tree is filled with men who valued tree stands, fox hounds, cabins, bass boats, a good truck, deer hunts, guns, and great stories. As far back as my soul can search, I cannot find a time when hunting was separated from my genetic code. Growing up the son of an outdoor store owner in a small town, I was exposed to every facet of outdoor life. It was a man's world, and I admired the men in it. Hunting was as core of a part of my young identity as oxygen was to my blood stream. Late in my teenage years my story changed dramatically when I was confronted with the reality of my position outside of God's family. After accepting Christ as my Savior, I immediately began to feel God call me into a lifetime of ministry. I simply had no idea at the time that the roots of my family tree would play a tangible role in the harvest to come later. After serving churches in various pastoral roles in Tennessee, Texas, and Alabama, God began to birth in me a vision. A vision founded at the confluence of my heart for God and my heart for the outdoors. Now, some twenty years into ministry, I can see the sovereignty of God as He has shaped the journey of my life before I ever took my first breath. Every book I write, every video I produce, every time I step up on a stage and speak to a crowd, I can feel God using the camo-clad stories of my past to tell outdoorsmen of the only hope for their future.
