The American Bible Challenge Giveaway
Posted in Reviews
The American Bible Challenge Description:
Comedian and author, Jeff Foxworthy hosts this studio-based game in which contestants compete based on their knowledge of the Bible. Utilizing current as well as historical references, questions will be drawn from the rich, dense narrative found in the world’s best-selling book. The contestants will share their compelling back-stories and each team will be playing for a charitable organization. The American Bible Challenge is produced by RelativityREAL for GSN, with RelativityREAL’s Tom Forman (“Extreme Makeover: Home Edition”) and Embassy Row’s Michael Davies (“The Newlywed Game,” “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire”) serving as Executive Producers on the project. Nick Stuart and Maura Dunbar of Odyssey Networks are Consulting Producers.
About the Host:
Comedian Jeff Foxworthy is the largest selling comedy-recording artist in history, a multiple Grammy® Award nominee and the best-selling author of 11 books. Widely known for his redneck jokes, his act goes beyond that to explore the humor in everyday family interactions and human nature.
My Thoughts:
I was given the opportunity to watch a preview, behind-the-scenes video of the American Bible Challenge. Jeff Foxworthy combines his humor with his knowledge of the Bible. I thought it was really interesting that he runs a Bible study group and gets together with others to dig deeper into the scriptures.
Some unique things about this game show:
- Get to know the behind the scenes of the contestants
- Bible-based
- Gospel Choir
- Contestants playing for charities
Yes, it’s a game show, but it’s also much bigger than that as you’re getting to know not only the contestants but also their charities. It’s bringing to light the Bible and faith. Add in the gospel choir and you’ve got a unique show that could be used for the glory of God. I look forward to seeing how this show comes together. Want to learn more?

Off-Road Fun with Marine Families
Posted in Family, Military Life, and Outdoor Adventures
Last week, D decided it would be fun if we got together with some of the Marines (and their families/friends) that he works with and head out for some off-road fun. A couple of the Marines had not taken their vehicles off-road at all, so they were eager to test out the vehicles and their skills. On Saturday, we met up at in a parking lot, and the more experienced off-road guys helped the others check tire pressure and air down the tires as needed before we headed out. Because this was the first time out for some, a trail…
