The Rolling Thunder Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

First Light Ep. 16 — Kingdom Living

In this episode, Chuck Halford wraps up the six responses that are often referred to as the six steps for living as a believer. He reminds us that these aren't just steps to follow, but natural responses to God that become evident in the life of every believer. Chuck encourages us to look for these moments in our everyday lives, to nurture them, and to let them grow as we trust in God and His promises.

"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." — Matthew 6:33

"As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him." — Colossians 2:6

In this episode of the Rolling Thunder Podcast, Spence sits down with Ducks Unlimited conservationist David Schuessler and longtime waterfowler Jimbo Robinson to crack open DU's "Into the Vault" — the organization's premier auction featuring rare and one-of-a-kind items. Together they dive into how the event fuels DU's mission to conserve wetlands and waterfowl habitat, what makes this year's lineup of firearms, artwork, and outdoor experiences stand out, and why "Into the Vault" has become a must-watch moment for hunters and collectors alike.

In this powerful episode, Chuck Halford dives into the feeling of being stuck — in life, in faith, or in circumstances beyond our control. He unpacks how difficult and disorienting these seasons can be, but reminds us that through the Lord's wisdom and guidance, we don't have to stay there. Drawing from Romans 12:1–2, Chuck challenges us to reject the patterns of this world and renew our minds through biblical thinking — because true transformation doesn't come from culture, but from Christ.

When life feels stuck, God is still at work. As Psalm 40:2 says, "He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand."

Tune in and be encouraged to lean on the Lord, renew your mind, and keep moving forward in faith.

This week, Frawley, Spence, and RT had a talk with Matt Ryan (@duckdogvet). We let Matt nerd out on what he does day to day in the clinic, as well as some helpful tips to keep you hunting dog as healthy as possible, for as long as possible. If you have a 4 legged hunting partner- or even just one at the house- you're going to want to check this one out!

This week, we are revisiting a "Just Hunting" episode- Sweet Corn. Spence, Drake, and RT sit down and relive a few days in November when they went to Alberta. The Great White North was a lot whiter the second time around- and it was quite a bit greater, too.

We're just over the halfway mark of the Arkansas duck season! On this episode, we did a halftime sit down with Drake Levey and Tripp Hodges to talk about their recent holiday hunting adventures. Ducks, rats, perms, naps and...turkeys?

On this episode, we heard from Tripp Halford himself about the first couple of days in Arkansas. We forgot to contact his publicist to inform him that we made an episode about his opening day hunt- 11 year olds these days.... We bragged about his good grades, his lottery luck, and his recent affection for collecting turtle shells.

Sorry for our recent dry spell on releasing episodes. We are getting the train back on the tracks and have some good ones in the queue, and better ones coming behind them!

On this episode, our friend Mr Dan Thiel from Ducks Unlimited stops by the shop to visit with Spence Rob and RT.

Ask any duck hunter what they think of DU, and you'll get a wide range of answers.....  but listen as we ask Mr Thiel about his job and you'll gain perspective about much larger and more complex Ducks Unlimited is.  You'll also see as we did, just how important Dan Thiel's role is in conserving waterfowl habitat for future generations.

We put the headsets on the boys in the tuning room to answer the  number 1 question we always get asked.......  What's the difference between the Brute, the Brute R, and the Brute XL.

If you're a duck call nerd you're going to enjoy this one!
