To be so open and transparent about marriage, faith, brokenness, etc…incredible if it was just the four of you chatting. But, to share it with others in this way…so courageous and so powerful. I am certain that this conversation has inspired many men to lean in to what it means to be a man (submit to Christ our Savior)…it certainly has inspired me. Thank you.
The tough conversations are never easy, but they move the needle of life... Thank You
The first interview was just as amazing, if you have not seen it I recommend that you do.
I didn't watch this, but I did listen to the audio version last night at work. Thank God I work alone because the second it sounded like Mark broke I know I did. Definitely described my life from a crappy childhood, the demons that pop up in some marriages, to the pregnancy test, to a wife that is still here and 16yrs of marriage stronger. Those demons are hard and really never go away. Can't change the past, but the fight to keep those demons locked up are real. Remembering the past can make the future stronger sometimes. Thank you for sharing this and making me cry like a baby. Made me smile when i got home last night and saw my wife asleep in bed. Now back to getting ready for elk and deer season! Stay strong brother!
Demons can take hold of your life if you become weak...... I was weak, and as I said it all comes down to being a real man, I was not! It was not the shining point of my life for sure.
All I can say is WOW. This podcast is AMAZING. Thanks for everyone on it. I can imagine that some of that stuff is very difficult to share, but is so impactful! When my wife and I got married, we also said that divorce wasn't an option, 21 years later, through good and bad, we are still happily married. Working on it daily. God does do wonderful things. So many things you guys said, I can relate to. I look back and can see the hand of God in so many places. Thanks for all you do!
I love those stories.... God is amazing if you let him do his work.
Thank you for the brutally honest conversation. This is real life.
I’m not a podcast person but I have to say I could not stop listening to this. This was the best podcast I have ever listened to. Thank you all for sharing.
That is a big compliment my friend... Thank You
Wow, thank you ...
Wow! I can't believe that I watched a podcast! What's more is that my wife sat down and watched it too. (We wanted to see the facial expressions and body language) The world needs to hear more stories like this. I love hunting, but I love Jesus more and because of that I love my wife and family more and better. He saves lives. He saves marriages. He did it for us and He did it for Mark and Amy. Great show. Keep them coming.
People like to hide from the ugly parts of life. Exposing the bad, only creates more room for the good things in life... Thank You
Brian, you had my attention and believe in Gritty. Now, with this DEEP interview. The Livesay family and their story touch me and I appreciate their truthfulness!
They lock themself into my heart! Bless them
Thank you for the kind words
First and Foremost Jesus Christ can Change EVERY SITUATION through Redemption. This was the best 2 hours I have watched in many Years. My marriage was in divorce for 2 years and God Redeemed our marriage and created a stronger bond between us.
Brian Call, Thank you so much for this Podcast.
It will help many people and marriages get back on track.
God will Bless your Podcast to grow stronger.
Thank you
Those are the stories that move us.... Thanks for sharing....
I so appreciate the recognition of God’s hand in Mark and Amy’s marriage. The straightforward life lessons are so essential to share and how healing is possible and make and keep couples strong. Thank you so much for sharing with us!
Thanks for spending time with us, it is always great to hang with you two... You are certainly a shining example of how it should be done.
My love and respect for you four just went through the roof! Thank you for your bold obedience to share truth.
I always sensed that y’all had relationship with Jesus, but something hit the hunting community today by your willingness to share testimony. Powerful!
Respect must be earned, there was a time in my life I did not deserve any, but I'm a work in progress... Thank YOu
Great Podcast @Brian Call. The platform you have been given should be an honor and should be used like this from time to time. Hunting is our passion, but conversations like these have eternal impacts. @Mark Livesay I can see humility in your face and brother how sweet is grace and redemption!!? You often talk about get better at the things you do poorly; I would challenge you to dig into your bible with intention. Proud of you and Amy fighting for it. This was real and much appreciated.
Thanks brother..... It was worth fighting for....
Superb, next level honesty that every man should take to heart. Ladies, as with my wife we could be the men we are without you in our lives. I really like the hunting, but this is truly important stuff. Thank you all.
Yes yes yes! JESUS! Best podcast ever. I could listen to another 5 hours of story's of what God has brought you through to get you where you are now! Loved every minute of it. Praise the Lord!
Great episode! Brian, thank you for sharing this story. Jesus Christ and the Cross can change any situation. Thank you to Mark and Amy for sharing their walk of faith. We all have struggles, and for them and being so open just shows how graceful God is. I have never seen a hunting podcast like this one and I think there should be more like this to show God's love for his people. Keep up the good work and God bless.
Life is not all hunting, but sometimes it seems like that on social huh..... The real workings of life are worth diving into head first from time to time....
Man i feel Livesay. Feel almost like he is talking to me.
It’s easy to always talk about and show the positive things in your life. Sometimes the hard reality topics need to come to the surface. In these moments you can choose to move forward or stay stuck in the past. Sharing your redemption journey might just help a few others avoid some of the life pitfalls of your past.
Mark for president. Had me in tears man and minus a few details, reminded me a lot of my childhood. Thank you Jesus for sending people to intervene. Thanks for sharing everyone this was great.
Oh man, you can't let yourself be defined by your past. It will ruin all the good in your life if you let it... Let God take the wheel.
@@TreelineAcademy grateful I got my rebellion and jail time out of the way when I was young. Thanks for sharing brother
Best podcast to date! Currently finding myself at the bottom and no clue how to reach that ladder. Hunting is definitely my cup and I hope one day I’ll be around to take my two boys on the annual elk trip. Thank y’all, you don’t know how much this video opens my eyes. Semper Fi
Brother.... Brokeness is only permanent if you let it be. The path to your best life is right in front of you my friend.
We all find ourselves at the bottom at some point. There is always hope when you lean on the Lord. Let us know if we can encourage you or pray for you in some way.
Very deep stuff that people deal with everyday. I truly believe your story matters. Thanks for sharing this. I know its a hunting podcast but keep up the real life. Thank you all 4 for doing this podcast. 🙏
hands down one of my favorite episodes to date. You all are such great people and was a pleasure getting to meet most of you at the WHS. Most people watch you films and think your all are some kind of super hero but each and everyone of you are just real down to earth give the shirt off you back kind of people and it inspires others to follow their dreams the same way you have. Keep Gritty!!
Powerful!! Thank you Brian for putting this together. Thank you Mark and Amy for sharing! The raw vulnerability and honesty touched my heart and deepened my faith! Stay well!
Mark and Amy, thanks for sharing your story! Not too many people, other than Mr. Gritty, would open the kimono like that. Your fight, determination, humility and forgiveness are an inspiration to all. The Lord can heal all hearts!
Trust in what matters... Thank You
Sounds like Mark and I lived the same life. Coming from parents who gave me up. Life has been tough but it was worth every ounce of Grit to make me into the man I am today. Can also say meeting my wife is what’s has saved me from meeting the wrong end of the gun. Thanks for sharing and stay Gritty
Hanging in there is half the journey my friend.
@@TreelineAcademy my battle has been and will always be with God. Here’s my story my parents where in a physically abused I’ve relationship. They decided to give me up to my grandparents at the age of 7 years old. They also decided to keep my brother and raise him mean while my grandfather became my father figure he passed away 2 years after moving in . At the same time of his passing someone else started sexually abusing me. That’s Demon number one. This is where the trouble begins by age ten burned someone’s house down you name it I’ve done it twice over. In the meantime mom gets married 4 times father gone. In 2010 met my wife the only positive thing to ever happen in my life. So that’s where our story differs I would never think about cheating on her. She the only light in a lifetime of darkness. Fast forward to 2022 my grandma only person besides my wife that has ever cared gets pushed over at the food bank and breaks her hip ends up dying from surgery. Here my second Demon both of these people walk around without a care in the world. It takes everything I have not to hurt them. My third Demon and the biggest one is that I lack compassion for everything and life in general. Hard to care when you lived so long without a soul. So when people say it’s Gods will. If my life was a part of gods plan I don’t want any part of it. I have held this secret for 30 years besides my wife knowing. I just don’t know how people find god as there savior.
I came for the hunting but stayed for marriage counseling 😊.
Dude, they both go hand in hand.....
27 years married to the same girl who wanted to sit next to me in 9th grade math class. Our marriage looked more like yours than Brian's for about 10 of those years lol. Just try to be a better man as often as possible, don't sweat the small stuff and don't quit. My time in the mountains keeps things in perspective. Thanks for sharing your story, not easy to do.
It’s awesome how God knows us so well that he takes each of us on our own paths that lead us to him, some longer then others but loves us all the same
You did not undersell this one! What a picture of the redemption and forgiveness God gives! I appreciate how Mark describes that trapped feeling - you cannot change the past, but God forgives and allows us to let go and move on. Mark and Amy are marvelous examples of COMMITMENT!
Just witnessed the first tears from Brian. Gotta say they were Gritty
Awesome.I would love to meet el gritty someday ..let’s make it happen! Bucket list..
What a wholesome awesome video! Thank you for sharing something that is not your usual style of videos.
Oh wow what an awesome video. I’m a dedicated viewer but after this podcast I’m all IN for I see the foundation of GRITTY is
driven by faith in GOD.
And as y’all mentioned it’s so important for your spouses to be on the same page and uplifting each other. The power of GOD is amazing and where it can take you. So jealous of y’all’s camaraderie and friendship.
On a side note I love my GRETTY shirt so much I ordered two more for my children.
Just might order another one for my wife .
Keep up the Faith.
Life is an adventure never meant to be a destination.
Thank you 🙏
What a great conversation on perseverance and life. I can relate in so many ways. Caught myself getting emotional.
Best podcast yet - both of u and your wives are inspiring. Maybe see u in the mountain someday - I’ll maybe run into Mark lower on the mountain with the lamas is my thoughts - as I know he hunts different places every year - either way it feels like I know u guys and gals- keep it comin - u guys can do it - u are some great men - and Brad / Lampers. Let’s see some more gritty films - can’t wait.
Incredible episode, as a young man there is much to be learned from y’all’s lived experience. Appreciate that and praise God!
That's the entire point.... Thank You..... I want my son and other to avoid those pitfalls
Without a doubt…this is the best podcast I’ve ever seen.
Not just hunting.
My life mirrored Mark’s almost to a T.
It’s refreshing to see you share this story of God’s relentless pursuit of us.
Our love is conditional but His is not.
I love the Gritty brand even more now.
Hopefully our paths can cross someday.
Thanks Brian for doing this podcast.
Stay Gritty.
Man, thanks for posting this. Gave me a push to hold a friend of mine accountable as a man.
You heard me say.... Be A Man..... Just Be A Freaking Man..... I was not that man at times.
There's nothing I can say but THANKS for sharing all 4 of you.
Some things just need to be said my friend... Thank You
My “GRITTY” & I loved this podcast. God bless you guys!!
Such an amazing testimony of what God does in our lives! Thank you for sharing! Mark, I have a wife with very similar faith and resolve; you are a blessed man. And all of you have shown such strength by being humble enough to share these moments in your lives! Thanks for sharing and continue steadfastly, my friends!
This was a beautiful conversation! So real and purposeful in a way that I think so many young people need to hear! Excellent work!
Absolutely awesome! I respected the hell out of you all, before this Podcast. I respect you even more now! Faith in God wins the day and Hunting is Life! Thank you!
Both of your families are very blessed you both worked very hard to get where you are at today keep up the hard work enjoy all of your podcast and films thank you both and stay safe on your adventures
By far my favorite podcast you guys have done. Fantastic job and than you for the content.
Sometimes taking a moment to share your testimony transcends and becomes larger than the original purpose. So it is with the impact of this podcast. While we all are passionate about hunting and spending time with God enjoying His creation , probably most men will admit they struggle at home at some level, especially when we add stress and spend time in the woods away from our wives. If we could fix the stresses at home, it would make the time hunting even sweeter. I appreciate the honesty, transparency, and vulnerability. In the largest sense, you really "manned up" in offering yourselves and your stories. It truly ministered to me, as I am sure it will to anyone who listens to it. You are dropping unapologetic Truth bombs and creating ripples that will radiate outward forever, perhaps changing many lives and potentially affecting generations. What an amazing opportunity to be used by God, and you risked everything and seized it! A couple great resources to help men and marriages: "When Sinners Say I Do" by Dave Harvey, and "Wild at Heart" by John Eldredge. Blessings to you guys, thank you for being brave with your faith, keep up the world-class content, and see you on the trail!
If you can't be a man that is seeking God, what are you.... Thank You
This podcast episode saved my marriage and got me inspired to go to church and inspired my wife to ask the Lord in her heart.
God was speaking to me in the past 2 weeks. It was very powerful and overwhelming the last few weeks. Thank God for this podcast. The stuff that happened to me was life changing. Thank you, guys. Thank you. I appreciate everything you do.
My testimony will change lives.
Of all the podcast I have seen or listened to, this was the best one. Very inspiring. God bless you.
Thank You
great podcast. God is always testing us to help us grow more spiritually within ourselves, its not easy but he never promised us an easy life , but he does want our unconditional aiding love . God Bless everyone
Thank you for this. So strong and meaningful.
Great episode! Thanks for doing this one!
Wonderful video! Thank you so much for sharing!
I love this channel. You guys are fantastic. Thank you for sharing this great message.
Awesome video! The level of honesty is inspiring, no matter how good or how "bad" we've been, we all need the Lord's salvation. The greater our depravity, the greater our testimony of salvation!
Bravo!!!! You guys killed it.
this was really good, made me think about so many things and wish i could back in time and fix somethings. Thank you for your candor and honesty
Brian this was absolutely a great podcast and I appreciate both Mark and you sharing and being transparent. Man to man I needed to hear all of this and it drives to be a better man so again thank you. I liked you before this, but mad mad respect now bro.
When we stop trying to become better men, we start failing at life.... PERIOD
Dudes....... super Great Video! Thank You.
God Bless you All.
What an awesome powerful spiritual moving podcast and to open up the the livesays did thank you for sharin
Outstanding!
All I can say is wow !! My hats off for mark
Not me my friend, I'm a broken human... My wife and the redemptive powers...
Wow! I just gained a whole new respect for Mark. Way to step up and be a man and change your crappy past life. Very inspiring.
There was really no way to go than up....
@@TreelineAcademy For what its worth, your story is one of the best stories of redemption that I've heard in a long time. Way to stick with it, and dang, what a good wife you have. Don't let her go.
Awesome, awesome, awesome, video!!!!
What and awesome podcast wow there have been more alot respect from all you guys Is been awesome for following you since last year and it's been a blessing seen this video 😊💪🙏
Thank you Brian very powerful stuff in this episode I really needed this.
We all do at points in our lives...
Great podcast!!
Inspiring podcast
Wow. I'm blown away by this episode. What an amazing testimony. Long post but please read if you can.. First, I love your channel, and I truly believe it's the best content. Every adventure is a story, not just a typical hunt. You draw your viewers in, and I feel like I'm there. My wife and I have had a very similar marriage to both of yall. I was raised in church and started working at my dad's wild game processing/butcher shop at a young age. I met my wife in high school. We started dating my sophomore year, her freshman year. We dated all through high-school for 6 years then married. We struggled after the honeymoon wore off, probably 2 years in. Found a church and became closer to one another. We tried for children for 6 years. After 5 miscarriages, we found out she had some complications that pretty much gave her a 0% chance of conceiving. We said we would travel then adopt after a few years. 3 years later, she became pregnant and by God's grace, we had a healthy boy. Shortly after his 3rd bday, my wife, at 31 years old was diagnosed with stage 3 triple negative breast cancer. I asked God why and how could he do this to her after all she has been through. I became lost. I was trying to figure out how I would raise our son. It was during the pandemic so that made it worse. 6 months of hard chemo and a full mastectomy and 3 additional surgeries. I couldn't be there by her side for anything because of covid. It's been 4 years since all of that and she is cancer free. God had us and we realized that during that low time. We are more in love and closer than we have ever been. She wanted a bow so she could start hunting with me so I got her one. We are working on getting her upper strength back so she can draw it. It's at 42lbs now. Still got to get the bow rigged up. Baby steps. I told her I want to quit my job and just hunt. Make a YT channel and go for it. She said to do it, but I can't bring myself to take the leap not knowing the unknown. Been praying about it. This was an amazing episode. God bless both of your families. Thank you for sharing yall's story.
@TreelineAcademy what you and Amy have brought to the table is Hope. 🙏
This was such an awesome testimony of God working! Thank you so much for sharing
I love this UA-cam videos
Hi guys, so proud of the both of you! Shit happens and you all dug out. God is good, we just have to have faith. You both are still some of my favorite people. Love you both!
Amy, Thank You... Sure miss you.....
I have tried to comment on this for a couple of days and just not been able to put together the words. Doing so would force me to talk about my struggle with Christianity and that's something that I am just not ready to do. I do want to say that the message was very powerful and Thank you.
I understand my friend... You will find your way forward.....
hey....we would welcome any struggle you have. Christians aren't perfect....would love to chat it out when you are ready. I had a friend just listen and respond to all of my questions and complaints. Thanks for commenting despite how it probably grated on your nerves a bit.
Awesome Amy you keep standing up for Jesus he is the answer to all of our problems in life great podcast
More need to stand up.... That is why this world is in such a mess...
You know I will! Thanks for the encouragement!
Thanx
I married a woman who divorced her 1st husband because he stopped asking her to go hunting and fishing with him. She felt lonely and alone. Her ex was worse than me about fishing. But I'm the apsolut worse when it comes to my passion about archery hunting. I'd met her after she was 11 years removed from her 1st husband. But she kinda found out really fast that I was obsessed with archery hunting. I don't think I've ever not asked her if she wanted to come with on any hunt. Where her ex stopped asking after she got pregnant with their 1st kid. & I wouldn't doubt he read this comment. I kinda wish I could have befriended him before I started even dating his wife. Would have shortened my curve on archery hunting mule deer. & he seems like someone I'd like to hang out with. Unfortunately they are not on those kinda terms. But I get everything this podcast covers 💯 %
Love that
So, update me, and my wife got saved and got baptized today.
God is good, every day.
All because of this episode sparked it. Thank you guys.
Titus 2
