Should Christians Kill And Eat Animals?
Doug sits down for a podcast that covers more ground than almost any interview he's done yet
On this episode of Campfire Conversations, I am joined by author, painter & lifelong hunter Doug Giles. Doug’s unapologetic stance on hunting is one that is rooted in scripture. Doug talks about his journey in finding his faith and how it led him to analyze the Bible and whether or not hunting is indeed a Biblical pursuit. What he found in the Good Book ultimately resulted in him penning The Bible & Hunting. In addition to discussing scriptures that validate our pursuit of wild game, we also talk about Doug’s background as a meat hunter to today, where he travels internationally in pursuit of the next great hunting adventure.
Highlights from the discussion include:
-Wondering in the wilderness, high on drugs and how Doug overcame that affliction
-Origins: growing up as a meat hunter
-What did a hunting lease cost 30-40 years ago?
-International hunting trips
-Living in the wokest of times
-Who killed the first animal in the Bible and why?
-What was Noah’s Ark really all about?
-Was Jesus some vegetarian hippie?
-Does a single verse in the Bible ever condemn hunting?
-Man’s Righteous Right to Hunt
-Doug’s favorite thing to hunt
-A passion for an obsolete caliber
-Doug’s work as an artist and the content he focuses on in his paintings
Doug’s latest book just came out this week, it’s called ‘Biblical Badasses: The Old Men‘
When God gets geared up to bring about a reformation, he green-lights the dream machine in us old farts. Yep, the prophet Joel says that when God‘s afoot flipping a nation from filth to faith, he doesn’t just use the young ‘uns, but he gives fresh dreams to the old dudes. Indeed, it is not just young peeps. It’s young and old. It’s a holy mashup of the green behind the ears and grey within the ears. That’s right, old man … God’s not finished with you yet. The ten men spotlighted in this spicy tome were probably way older than you when God lit their world of fire with fresh vision and purpose. If you’re hungry for more of God, then you should expect the Lord to do the same with you.
This is a great book for the rowdy 60+ Christian. It’ll shoot adrenaline into your soul. It hit #1 on Amazon in less than twenty-four hours. Get your seniors reading this in their group bible study. The devil will not be happy…
