    Michigan Youth Deer Season: Antlerless Only? | What is Worship? | In Creation #28

    In Episode 28, Ryker and Alex dive into a hot topic in Michigan’s hunting community: Should the Michigan Youth Deer Season be antlerless only? The guys break down the growing concern around doe overpopulation across the state, how it affects herd balance, and what future regulation changes would align with the youth season being antlerless only. After weighing the biological impact, hunter recruitment, and long‑term conservation goals, they land on a clear conclusion: Michigan’s youth season would benefit from being antlerless only. From there, the conversation shifts into something deeper—What is worship? Too often, we limit worship to singing songs on a Sunday morning, but Ryker and Alex explore how Scripture paints a much broader picture. Worship isn’t confined to a church service; it’s meant to permeate every part of our lives. As 1 Corinthians 10:31 reminds us, “So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” The guys unpack what that looks like in daily rhythms, in the outdoors, and in the way we carry ourselves as believers. . . . #TeamQAD https://1stphorm.com/AlexSpencer https://kuhlearchery.com/ : Use Discount Code InCreation  Deer Camp Stories Submissions - https://forms.gle/rHMuTNB8TFvMGX4y9

    Kuhle Archery – Inyati & Imfezi Arrow Builds | Hunting Creator Finds Christ | In Creation #26

    In Episode 26, Ryker and Alex break down their new arrow builds from Kuhle Archery as they gear up for the 2026 deer season and their 2027 South Dakota antelope hunt. Ryker walks through his Inyati setup featuring the Iron Will reinforced HIT system, 2.75” TAC vanes, and a total of 185 grains up front. Built with high FOC in mind and inspired by the 2026 Arrow Ballistics Study, his finished arrow comes in at 429 grains. Alex shares his new Imfezi build, chosen for the 1K weave and added durability. He’s still deciding on vane selection but is running Easton Match Grade half‑outs with a 100‑grain point up front—another solid setup for the hunts ahead. The conversation then shifts toward a well‑known hunting content creator who recently announced his new faith in Christ. Ryker and Alex reflect on how easy it is for people to praise the creation rather than the Creator, and Ryker brings in a quote from Pastor Matt Chandler’s book Becoming Like Jesus: “Right relatedness to creation looks like stewardship rooted in worship.” From there, they dive into a discussion about the state of masculinity in the church today. While culture often encourages softness, Scripture describes Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah—strong, bold, and unwavering. The guys explore what it means for men to embody that strength while living faithfully and humbly before God. A mix of archery talk, gear breakdowns, spiritual reflection, and honest conversation—Episode 26 brings depth and challenge for hunters and believers alike. . . . #TeamQAD https://1stphorm.com/AlexSpencer https://kuhlearchery.com/ : Use Discount Code InCreation  Deer Camp Stories Submissions - https://forms.gle/rHMuTNB8TFvMGX4y9

    In Episode 25, Ryker and Alex unpack Ryker’s experience at the HHA USA Mission 43 event in De Pere and Green Bay, Wisconsin. Mission 43 is one of four archery events HHA USA hosts each year for veterans and first responders, partnering with Centershot Ministries to create a space where men and women who’ve walked similar paths can find community rooted in archery—and most importantly, in Christ. The weekend was filled with powerful testimonies, meaningful conversations, fun 3D shoots, and deep connection with our nation’s heroes. Ryker shares what stood out, what moved him, and how the mission behind HHA USA continues to impact lives long after the bows are hung up. From there, Alex brings in a recent discussion from his men’s group, emphasizing how surrendering your life to Christ leads to a radical, unmistakable transformation. Together, they explore what genuine change looks like, how faith shapes identity, and why community matters in that journey. This episode blends archery, mission, brotherhood, and spiritual growth—offering encouragement, reflection, and a reminder of the power of Christ-centered community. . . . #TeamQAD https://1stphorm.com/AlexSpencer https://kuhlearchery.com/ : Use Discount Code InCreation  Deer Camp Stories Submissions - https://forms.gle/rHMuTNB8TFvMGX4y9

    Poachers vs Hunters & Nominal Christians vs True Disciples | In Creation #23

    In Episode 23, Ryker and Alex dive into a recent poaching bust and unpack what it means for the hunting community as a whole. They talk about how illegal actions like this damage the reputation of ethical hunters everywhere—and why poachers are not hunters. Their choices cast a shadow over the entire outdoor community, even though true hunters respect wildlife, conservation, and the laws that protect both. From there, the conversation shifts into a deeper spiritual parallel. Ryker and Alex discuss how, just like poachers misrepresent hunters, not everyone who claims to believe in Jesus truly follows Him. They explore the difference between saying “I believe” and actually living as a disciple—walking in obedience, aligning your life with Scripture, and producing the Fruit of the Holy Spirit. They reference passages like James 2:14,17, which challenge empty belief without action; Titus 1:16, which warns about those who claim to know God but deny Him by their works; and Matthew 7:13–14, reminding listeners that following Jesus means choosing the narrow path, not the easy one. This episode calls hunters—and believers—to integrity, authenticity, and a life that reflects what they claim to stand for. . . . #TeamQAD https://1stphorm.com/AlexSpencer https://kuhlearchery.com/ : Use Discount Code InCreation  Deer Camp Stories Submissions - https://forms.gle/rHMuTNB8TFvMGX4y9

    Deer Season Prep & Food Plots | Iron Sharpens Iron - God Forges | In Creation #22

    In Episode 22, Ryker and Alex kick things off by talking through the final preparations for the 2026 deer season. Ryker and his father‑in‑law wrapped up planting their food plot—despite a small hiccup with the seed—and got it finished. Firewood is chopped and stacked for winter, and the last task on the list is checking each stand to make sure straps are solid and shooting lanes are cleared. Alex shares about the grand opening at Korbin’s Archery in Burleson, Texas, where he had an awesome time connecting with people and celebrating the shop. He also spent a day shooting sporting clays with a group of guys from his kids’ co‑op, which led into a deeper conversation about how God calls men into community. They reflect on the idea that “iron sharpens iron,” and how that sharpening process isn’t soft or easy—it's hard, painful, and intentional. Just like forging steel, God shapes us through challenge, accountability, and brotherhood. A mix of hunting prep, community, and spiritual growth—this episode brings it all together. . . . #TeamQAD https://1stphorm.com/AlexSpencer https://kuhlearchery.com/ : Use Discount Code InCreation  Deer Camp Stories Submissions - https://forms.gle/rHMuTNB8TFvMGX4y9

    Twin Factor TV & Huntin’ the Truth | James & Chad Hampton | In Creation #21

    In Episode 21 of the In Creation Podcast, Ryker and Al sit down with James and Chad Hampton of Huntin’ The Truth Ministries and Twin Factor TV. James and Chad share how the Lord spoke to them through Psalm 14:2: “The Lord looks down from heaven on the entire human race; he looks to see if anyone is truly wise, if anyone seeks God.” They explain how the word seek carries the same meaning as hunt—to pursue after—revealing a powerful truth: God is looking for people who hunt for Him. This revelation became the foundation of Huntin’ The Truth Ministries. They go on to tell the story of how their TV show came to be. Though hesitant at first, James and Chad recognized it as an opportunity to spread the Gospel on a larger platform. Together, the group reflects on how God has used their ministries, media, and influence to advance the Kingdom. James and Chad also highlight their book Secrets of the Hunt, available now on Amazon, and their upcoming release 100 Days of Strength for Hunters, available for pre‑order and launching in September. This episode is a powerful reminder of the deep connection between God and the outdoors—and how pursuing Him transforms everything. . . .
