Hayden Alabama Podcast

Stephen and TB join us for stories about runaway Rangers, game wardens, accidental gun discharges, golf-course confidence, snakes, family, growing up Southern, and some expensive lessons learned the hard way. Later, TB shares how doing the right things for the wrong reason forced him to examine who he was actually living for, and we close with a conversation from Philippians 4:5 about why gentleness is not weakness.
