When national champion football player and firearms instructor Richard Shinn went turkey hunting one day in rural Alabama, he didn't know that day would change his life forever. Upon hearing a turkey call out, Richard didn't adequately bug-spray himself, as he was in a hurry to get into the woods. Later, soon after eating pork ribs, a near-death allergic reaction sent him to the emergency room. Richard was now severely allergic to red meat due to a single lone star tick bite.

Kendall Graveman played a key role pitching for the Houston Astros as they made it all the way to the 2021 World Series. That success came after a long, hard road and mostly by trusting in and surrendering to the Lord. Kendall had to battle injuries and surgeries, a benign bone tumor, getting sent down to the minors, and fighting for a spot to get back on an MLB team. He found success through "diligent, anonymous hours of hard work," but he knows none of it would have been possible without his relationship with God.
