The Buckmen, a group of famous outdoorsmen including Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan and Willie Robertson, recently got together to discuss America’s need for Jesus. During their conversation, the group was asked, “Do you think that our country right now more than ever needs Jesus, or is that just a worry that we have that every generation has?”
Former MLB player Tombo Martin responded, saying, “Not only is it the truth, but I mean we need to quit talking about it and put boots on the ground,” referring to the need to take action and bring America back to Jesus. Country singer Jason Aldean added, “It’s like taking prayer out of school and all that, that was kind of the beginning of the snowball, you know? It’s like, ‘Oh, we got that. Now let’s go for something else,’ you know, and it just at some point it just becomes a snowball effect.”
The singer isn’t sure whether previous generations had it better, but he emphasized that they lived in “simpler” times. Aldean explained, adding that bringing prayer back into schools would be a good place to start. “You didn’t have the age of the internet and social media and people being able to get on there and study every single thing.” Fellow country star Tyler Farr continued, “It was one nation under God. You said that in the Pledge of Allegiance.” However, “There is hope,” Martin chimed in, referencing former MLB player Adam LaRoche’s E3 Ranch Foundation.
