Welcome to another episode of The Fair Chase Podcast! Today, we talk with Father Stephen Madbury, a Catholic priest from Arkansas who is passionate about hunting and God’s people.
Here's what we discussed:
- Father Madbury talks about his military background and upbringing in Arkansas
- Father Madbury’s surprising participation in American Ninja Warrior in 2018 and 2020
- The two talk recurve bows, emphasizing the challenge and satisfaction of pushing personal limits.
- Father Madbury's unique approach to social media, using it as a platform to share relatable content rather than imposing religious views on others.
- Addressing the challenges of identity in social media and the "mimic desire" effect, where individuals desire what they perceive others want, leading to an exhausting chase for worldly pleasures.
- Father Madbury’s church
- Hospital visits, counseling, maintenance work around the church
- The difficulty of surrender in ministry: doing everything right doesn't always yield expected results
- Hunting parallels with ministry: the experience of control and surrender, understanding the limits of personal effort
- Hunting as a spiritual activity: nature as a cathedral, a space for reflection and prayer
- Upcoming hunting plans: continuing white-tail hunting, future elk hunts, Gator hunts, and a white-tail hunt in South Texas
