Wild Woman Unfiltered

This week I got to chat with the Florida Chapter President of American Daughters of Conservation Elizabeth Bland who has started an amazing program for women in Florida called the Ladies Outdoors Skills Training or LOST program. Elizabeth talks about how she grew up in a hunting family, how she has been with ADC since very close to the foundation of the organization, and how she started the LOST program which is heading into it's 4th year! The women that come are not the same women that leave at the end of the weekend, and she's a wonderful example of a woman creating more space for ladies in the outdoors while making sure to honor education and conservation throughout the entire process!

In this episode of my More Than Trying mini-series, I am talking about how we read and study God's Word. I share some different ways to approach Bible study and some practical things that can help you move beyond just reading Scripture to actually understanding it and applying what you're learning to your everyday life. Because we're not just reading the Word to check a box — we're training to live it out.Life Application Study Bible: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1496439309?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_5

A BONUS EPISODE THIS WEEK! In this episode I talk with Vermonter Andrea Ameden. TShe didn't get into hunting until a little later on in her life despite having grown up with folks in her family who were big deer hunters. We talk about her views on hunting and how they were shaped by her experiences. We also talk about her work as a water resource engineer, her views on conservation specifically in Vermont, and how important it is to get out and vote to get your voice heard on November 3rd in the midterm elections. We also get to hear about her bear hunting adventures and how her and her fiancee are raising their son outside right along with them.

As a woman who's always trying to create more resources for like minded ladies who want to learn more outside, I got a chance this week to sit down with the women behind the Women's Outdoor Initiative, or WOI! Lauren, Amanda, and Libby run WOI with the mindset to empower and educate women in the outdoors. I got to chat with them about their backgrounds in the outdoors and what WOI means to them - and what their goals are! Started in May of just this year, I see great things for this group of gals!

In this episode of Faith Unfiltered I start my first mini series, More than Trying: Training for the Walk. I talk about something that might seem straightforward when it comes to training in our walk with Jesus, reading the Bible. This week's episode is all about why we read His Word, and what the Word does for us and in us. I hope that Jesus blesses you today and you can take something out of this episode!

When we accept Christ as our personal savior and accept the gift of eternal life, we are given a new identity in Him. This week I talk about what we find in that identity, by way of Freedom in Christ. I hope you enjoy!
