You’ve seen their incredible trick-shot videos. You’ve probably even tried to recreate some of them yourself. Over the last decade, Dude Perfect has become an internet sensation. Each new video either challenges a world record or showcases the guys doing some seemingly impossible things.
The best part is that it’s all wholesome content, and at the center of everything they do is a heart to share the Gospel. Tyler Toney and Garrett Hilbert join Scott Linebrink this week to talk about the origin of Dude Perfect and how it evolved into the media empire it is today. Somewhere in the middle, though, the guys made a decision to share the Gospel following an event, and that changed the course of everything they do.
