Got to share a topic that’s been on my heart for several years. Public speaking isn’t my favorite thing to do, but I was excited to share His words. #crucifixion #resurrection #traumamedicine #diedheforme #christian #bornagain #savedsinner #onenationundergod

What appears to some to be a position of fear, certainly can be if that is how you are living. For most of us on this page, I would suspect it comes more from having a healthy respect for the evil of humanity, and in awareness of the world we live in. For me personally, this situational awareness, motivates me to try to address what is within my control and having done so I find peace. Whatever is outside of my control is in the Lord‘s hands and therefore I try not to worry about it. Where I do find fear creeping in is when I’m not confident I have done my job properly. This should be motivation to keep us on our toes as men, as spiritual leaders and protectors, as physical leaders and protectors. God bless y’all and have a great Sunday.

Our shooting range is one step closer to the vision of completion! Many thanks to @tacticalcastle for the range car. Soon to come— digging out the bottom of the berm to make the surface flat and the backstop higher, the extra dirt with be used to make the range L-shaped. Hey @dangerousbutgood let’s have an east coast #godgunsandgrappling event here! #burnsidebridgefarm #shootingrange #rangeishot #steeltargets #ipsc #idpa #trainhard #beyourownfirstresponder #responsiblyarmed #fullspectrumwarrior

I wish I was still shooting as much as I used to. I was reminded today just precisely how perishable the skill of shooting truly is. My pistol skills decline quickly when I’m not honing them regularly (I’ll spare you the footage of that travesty). My older two kids are very interested in shooting with me, and it was blessing to get them behind a good ol’ 10/22 today and see them implementing good safety basics. These days, I gotta do what I can with limited time. That looks more like grabbing a few reps in greasy clothes and muck boots after fixing a mower, and less like a full day of looking cool in multicam Crye. We live in wild times, keep the skills sharp.

This has been a journey. When I got married in 2008, I weighed 160-165 at six feet tall. A few years later, during my sedentary sales career I ballooned to a squishy 198-200. Worked back down to 185 and hung there for years. In 2021, @greg.mihovich told me “if you invest in your body like you invest in your shooting, I promise you in one year’s time you won’t recognize yourself.” That statement made me realize I wasn’t paying my dues. This was taken at 0615 this morning at 205-208. Praise God for men that speak inconvenient truth and push other men to grow. Now, I’m not satisfied with where I’m at— my bench and squat are not yet where they should be but I’m thankful for the change and those who support and push me to be physically and spiritually fit. Be that man to others, and surround yourself with men who will return the favor. #eatlifthunt #trainliftshoot #dangerousbutgood #fullspectrumwarrior #beyourownfirstresponder #nooneiscomingtosaveyou #3rdmonkeydefense

For the sake of “science” my son and I conducted some testing on an old safe. Had to finish in style a la FPS Russia (IYKYK) Good times. We have advanced the pages of modern science to new levels this day. #science #shooting #faithfamilyfreedom #3rdmonkeydefense #

Going out on New Year’s Eve? Be safe. Be prepared to poke or plug holes. mindset, medical, and pews in that order. Have fun, find that balance of being situationally aware without being paranoid. (Found this cool sign in an abandoned building that was once a police station. I bet there’s a story that led to this being posted by the door to the parking lot) #newyearseve #safetyfirst #preparednotparanoid #preparednotscared #beyourownfirstresponder #nooneiscomingtosaveyou #faithfamilyfreedom #dangerousbutgood #fullspectrumwarrior

Have people in your life that push you to become physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally tougher. Mornings can be not only for physical exercise but for spiritual growth as well. Pick workout partners that push you in more areas than just “lift that or you’re a soy latte sipping libtard”. As my gym friends are growing and maturing, the tone of the conversation is shifting and turning more serious, challenging, and meaningful. Personally, I need that to keep me on track. #gymlife #liftheavy #ironsharpensiron #gymbro #dangerousbutgood #forgerofmen #testyourmetal #beyourownfirstresponder #nooneiscomingtosaveyou #faithfamilyfreedom #fullspectrumwarrior #meninthefray #preparedness #brotherhood

Get up early. Push weight. Eat protein. Don’t try to be the biggest/fastest, just show up again. 0610 and dues are paid for today. Alarm went off at 0350 and my bed felt just right— the last thing I wanted to do was get up and go lift. Glad I did, even if I did it grudgingly. We’ve recently seen that people celebrate tragedy befalling the innocent. Train accordingly.

Bulgs are not of God— this exercise must be part of the curse since the Garden. I said what I said. Yep— today was leg day. What do you ask? #bulgariansplitsquats #fitness #legday #funny #humor #whysoserious #dangerousbutgood #fullspectrumwarrior #fsw
