Show Notes

Some warnings are apparently for other people. This week, a wheelchair ramp falls into the water before somebody is told to hit the gas, two hunters have a deer come looking for them before they ever make it to the woods, and a red-flag beach trip turns into a whole lot more adventure than anybody planned. We’ve also got a courthouse misunderstanding, a runaway Shetland pony, one of the most unfortunate school bathroom situations imaginable, and several decisions that seemed much more reasonable at the time.

Along the way, Justin Fisher shares what life with cerebral palsy has taught him about independence, dignity, humor, and telling stories people remember. Later, he shares the childhood horse accident that caused him to seriously think about life, death, and his need for a Savior. We close with Philippians 4:8–9 and a conversation about what we choose to dwell on, how we live out what we know, and where real peace is found.

The Hayden Alabama Podcast is Southern storytelling, clean humor, hunting, family, faith, and the kind of true stories that somehow get better every time somebody says, “You’re not going to believe this.” Subscribe and join us each week.
