Faith and Friendship: Part Two with Jimmy Fry

In Part Two of my sit down with Jimmy Fry, we have a lengthy discussion about our faith and I share a portion of my testimony as we dive deeper into the faith discussion.   We also discuss friendship and his impact on the younger generation at the Hope Country Club.

Family and Fairways with Jimmy Fry

Part One of my two part episode with Jimmy Fry.  A man who I've played countless rounds of golf with over the years and a guy that I've always gravitated towards.  His friendly demeanor and constant encouragement, both on and off of the course, make him one of my favorite people to be around. 
We discuss his early years growing up on the family farm, we share a few hunting stories, then we transition into a discussion about a game we both love.......golf. 
Enjoy and stay tuned for Part Two of our sit down which will upload one week after this episode.
