'Man vs. Wild'
Allen -- if you need a testosterone chaser after watching all of that Dancing with the Stars, you should check out Discovery Channel's Man vs. Wild. Bear Grylls, who has summited Everest, served in the British special forces, and sailed across the North Sea, gets dropped into various survival situations (an island in the Pacific, or the swamps of the Everglades) and has to find his way out. He's amazing. He doesn't talk much about his faith on the show, but mentions it on his web site:
My Christian faith: high mountains and my time in the military taught
me that it takes a proud man to say he needs nothing, and I need my
faith.
In one of the episodes he stopped in the middle of the Ecuadoran jungle to ponder the extravagance of God (he seems to be a theistic evolutionist), which was so refreshing. (And, okay, I have a tiny crush -- who doesn't?)
They'll be replaying several shows from the first season over the next few days. Check it out!
