Season 1, Ep. 14

Mark Long of FCA Endurance is my guest for episode 14 of the Filled Quiver Outdoors podcast. Endurance athletics isn’t a topic you’d expect to fit into the stereotype of an “outdoors” show like this one, but where do most endurance events happen? Outdoors.


Maybe that’s pushing it or oversimplifying matters, but also falling under the umbrella of endurance athletics you find mountain biking, trail running, ultramarathon, open water swimming events, etc.  


FCA Endurance is an adult-focused arm of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and while on the surface it appears to be mostly triathletes and runners it’s open to, and includes, athletes from a wide array of endurance disciplines. Because of this, and because I’m a curious person, I created a very informal survey which anyone can take to see what other stereotypically outdoors activities endurance athletes enjoy participating in. If you want, you can still fill out that survey here. It will be available until jotforms closes it down or the maximum number of responses is received. I’ll update the results on our website periodically as I receive new results. 


As mentioned in the episode, new Filled Quiver Outdoors merchandise is coming soon. For a preview of the designs check out our Instagram or Facebook accounts.

  • 203. Episode 29 (203): A Christian Approach to Elections

    56:51||Season 2, Ep. 203
    In this week’s episode I’m going to splitting the time between two topics with a Drop in the Bucket for experienced and aspiring upland bird hunters. For the first half of the episode I’ll be covering the topics and, in a lesser degree, the format of the show moving forward since the reboot after a break near the end of season one and now being a couple of episodes into season 2. After A Drop in the Bucket segment, I’ll focus on the meaty part of the episode, politics and the upcoming election. I won’t be endorsing anyone necessarily, but instead I’ll highlight two measures being voted on in different parts of the country before moving into what Christians should be doing when it comes to deciding how they vote on different measures and who they vote for to fill different positions. Instead of spending a lot of time on what the Bible says about the hot-button topics of today’s political world, I decided for this episode to just highlight some of these and put more of an emphasis on what Christians should be doing after the results are announced.  Now that you know what path we’re taking on this episode, let’s hit the trail!

    This episode of Think About It is not the typical devotion.
