## Resource

Stetson Stafford was born and raised in the mountains of North Carolina, in a small town called Plumtree in Avery County—the home of Grandfather Mountain. Stetson has been hunting for as long as he can remember, ever since he was big enough to carry a BB gun. While his dad didn't focus much on deer or turkey hunting, he raised his brother and him running black bear in the mountains with dogs and occasionally took them deer hunting. His grandfather and great-grandfather later introduced him to deer and turkey hunting, which only deepened his passion. Hunting has always been a major part of his life, and he enjoys pursuing just about anything that has a season. He was saved at 10 years old and surrendered to God's call to preach at the age of 20. He married his wife, Bethany, in 2020, and they now live in South Carolina, where she's from. They have a four-year-old son, Hudson, and are expecting a baby girl this July. Today, at 30 years old, he is in full-time evangelism, traveling across the country preaching in revivals, youth meetings, wild game dinners, and wherever else the Lord opens a door. The outdoors have given him another platform to share the gospel with people he meets from all over who may never step foot into a church.
