Chapter 1: What sparked the misunderstanding between Jase and Missy?
Welcome back to Unashamed. We've taken a while to get going this morning. It's like we're just stuck in the mud. It's New Year. We're back from a little Christmas holiday break. We're trying to get ourselves going.
It's a new year. Nobody that's listening to this will have noticed the transition, but we actually did a few podcasts recently. Way back when, which is like a few days ago. And now it's a new year.
It is.
There's something psychological that happens every new year, I think, to people. Yeah, it does. You know what? I'm fixing to do fill in the blank. I mean, that's what people do.
Yeah, Zach, do you have any things you're excited about this 2025?
Save them, because my next thing I was going to say is, then two weeks later, nothing changes.

Chapter 2: What is Quitter's Day and why is it significant?
You see? Yeah, there's that commercial. I don't know who put it out, but I think they said January 10th is Quitter's Day. And everybody... who starts their thing, they quit by January 10th. That's really sad.
Well, that's my point. So I don't know when this will air, but hopefully it is post-January 10th, but who knows. But what I was going to say is if you really think about what the problem is there, it's what you're focused on that I think when you're wanting to start anew, if it's the wrong focus, it doesn't matter.
Right.
So that's kind of why I wanted to begin this with whatever you do, it's got to be filtered through Jesus.
That's true.

Chapter 3: How can we start anew at any time, not just the New Year?
And you got to remember this, that his mercies, they're new every morning, not just at the beginning of the year. So I lean into that.
Well, you just think about anybody has an opportunity to make any kind of change. You don't have to wait around for an end of a year or something else to make You know, life changes. It happens all the time. We see it happen every week.
Oh, I've been there every weekend. It seems I keep having the same question, which is, will you baptize me? Yeah. But then I immediately feel a little weird because I'm like, why? Because if you don't understand why you would want to do that, I would hate for somebody to say, Well, just because you were on a duck show one time, and I think it'd be cool. Right. And let's take some pictures.
No, there's got to be more than that.
Yeah, look, three weekends in a row. Same question and same result, which was this last one was out at Phil's. We met at Phil's, and Phil is doing better, I would say. Yeah. Overall, it's still a struggle. He still has his conditions, but I think he is doing better.
He's in, yeah, not in much pain right now, which has been fantastic.

Chapter 4: What happened during the baptism in the Ouachita River?
So I led a Bible study this past weekend. We talked about Jesus for 45 minutes, pretty much from Genesis to Revelation. And then we got on the question, which is, you know, was about baptism. But I just said, look, you can make your confession based on what you just heard and however you
way you want to do it but and i quoted romans 10 9 and 10 where it says that if you confess with your mouth jesus is lord and believe in your heart that god raised him from the dead i said so quote that however you want to do it and uh boy it was fantastic yes we got to the water so he wanted to be baptized in the washita river and the river's way down because they're working on the lot and so i had waders on because it's wintertime let's go
And we waited down there, and, of course, my dad was there, and this fellow had quite the crew with him. And so I thought I was good, but the drop-off was so steep that when I lowered him under the water in a moment, he said, you're coming with me. And he's a pretty strong guy. He was early 30s, you know, one of these workout rah-rah. And so down I went.
But, you know, I noticed that he wasn't cold. And after the first 10 seconds, I wasn't either just because of his demeanor. And it was really a special moment. Phil was excited. And so it made me think that whatever we do in the new year, I've recently listened to a series called The Jesus Stuff. Yep. And I wanted to talk about that because it's a new year.
And this series, which was by, hopefully, I think, one day a potential guest, a fellow from Australia who now lives in New York, John Tyson. I am on an email thread with him right now. Here's the biggest problem. I've listened to a few of his sermons. And he evidently, when he came from Australia, he went to some kind of Bible school in Texas.
I don't know because the little blurb I heard, but he was kind of making fun of being in the South. And I thought, good luck getting him on as a guest.
We'll be some repentance involved.
I think we should confront him on this. Because he's now in New York. Yeah. And he's a big city type of guy. Mm-hmm.
We've had big city guys on before, though. We had Metaxas on and some of those guys.

Chapter 5: What are the challenges of hunting etiquette discussed?
Which then it was kind of the tone was because when, in his opinion, he was looking at the churches just from being a non-believer and an atheist.
Not seeing a lot of Jesus stuff.
Yeah. He's like, I'm not seeing what I'm reading. Yeah. That stuff. Yeah. in this stuff. Yeah.
And the church people are like, no, no, no, you just calm down, buddy. You're taking it too literal. Yeah. That's kind of how we respond.
Yeah. Which is how that conversation went. I think in his sermon, he said, no, no, we talk about that stuff. He's like, yeah, but when are we going to start doing that stuff? And so the things that listed as parts of the series, I thought were really interesting, uh, One of them was about radical obedience.
When you think 1 John 2, because this is kind of a preview of where we're going to launch this year. We want to go back to where we started, which is the book of John, because in the last however many years we've been doing this. Six years now. Six years. I think we've all agreed that we've learned way more about who Jesus is, the kingdom, how this all fits together.
And by the way, that's the power of studying the Bible and discussing it like we've been doing, is over time, the more you look at Jesus, the more your perspective changes. N.T. Wright, who's one of our favorite guys we read, I've been studying for Ephesians. We're going to do Ephesians this year at our church. For the next four months.
And it was based off our discussions we had about the book of Ephesians. We just went through it last year. And he talks about the London Eye, which do you know what the London Eye is at?
I don't.

Chapter 6: How is the legacy of duck hunting being passed down?
Yeah, that's really good. And really shows you the importance of why you study the whole scripture as well. So when you read the book of John, so we encourage you guys to do that. So you could read with us the whole time. Also jump over and read first, second, third John, because, you know, we've been kind of doing those epistle letters that some of these guys wrote in with our study.
And so that's what we're going to do this year. We do that. So when a woman experiences an unplanned pregnancy, she often feels alone and afraid. And so many times her first response is to seek out an abortion. But because of you and your generosity, that search may lead her to a pre-born network clinic where she'll choose life. And not just for her baby, but for herself.
And that's the secret of this. It's not, you know, we're protecting life, but the life of the mom and the life of the baby, of course. Preborn offers God's love and compassion to hurting women and then provides a free ultrasound to introduce them to the life growing inside them. We get a lot of great stories from our friends at Preborn. One of those is Paige's story.
When Paige found out she was pregnant, she didn't feel she could afford a child. The father threatened to make her have an abortion, but when her mother found out, she introduced her to a pre-born network clinic. At the clinic... Paige was given the support and resources she needed to help her choose life, and the father there even started attending parenting classes with her.
Now they're raising a beautiful son together. We love stories like that, and we love this ministry. Your tax-deductible donation of $28 sponsors one ultrasound. How many babies can you save?

Chapter 7: What are the qualities of the new 'Duck Boys' crew?
So that's where I was going with that. I wanted to give you a New Year's resolution. So you ready for my New Year's resolution?
Let's hear it, Des. And we're not going to quit whatever this is on January 10th.
Well, right. And I mean, I have a few things that I always try to do. Like on January 5th, I try to kill a green-winged teal.
In honor of me.
Yeah, because it seems to be that's when they show up on Al's birthday. That's a childhood memory. It was about a 10-year run.
back when I was hunting a lot, that every January 5th on my birthday, I killed a green-winged teal. It was about a 10-year run. And then it just kind of became a thing because that was my birthday.
Yeah. Yeah, remind me to give you a hundo today after this is over.
A hundo for your bride. I want to say something, Jase, before you go there that's been different about this year already is that something happened about four days ago that's the first time that I remember in my lifetime of this happening.
And because typically when I, like I have to invite myself to come hunt with you guys, but you had invited me to go hunting with you when I come in town next week.

Chapter 8: How do Bible discussions fit into the duck hunting experience?
And through the years, Jase, it's kind of been – just to describe the audience, it's hard to figure this, but like over the course of the last, oh, now almost 40 years, it's been like different eras of a little different duck crew. You can plug in there. Like I don't hunt anymore, but there was an era where I hunted all the time. And we had a little crew.
And Dad would always, who we got in the morning? We got this guy, we got that guy. And now you've got your little crew that you've got.
Well, this is what I was going to say. And this will answer your question, Zach. So I thought, well, I guess I'm kind of in charge of this now. And I thought I need to pass this legacy down to the next generation. One, because you don't realize how much work is involved in duck hunting. And, you know, you take my dad out of the equation. There's a lot of blinds that need to be brushed and
So I come up with this idea. We now have a crew. Now they're invitation only. There's a group text and it's called Duck Boys. And most of them are either son-in-laws in the family or son-in-laws friends who actually know how to work or do something. Which is rare in our culture now. They serve a purpose.
Well, right. A lot of them have skill sets outside of hunting that just come in handy. There's medical attention. There's a lot of different things.
Exactly. But a couple of the duck boys realized because, you know, we had a speech and I guess the first lieutenant around here is Jay Stone, your son-in-law, and he's military background. Yeah. And he's Mr. No-nonsense.
He's military background and just general orneriness to go with that.
So he lines them all up. And mainly, we've been taking some of them, which has been very challenging because there are certain rules that that go with being a duck hunter. It's a team sport, and you're trying to function safely, and you're also trying to teach them a work ethic that you need to bring something to this blind. And so that's been challenging.
So I've been more open-minded to taking rookies. What other words do we use for these? Yahoo's. Yahoo's. Yahoo's, I'm going to say. Rookies, non-hunters.
