What does God in the Timber mean to me?

The Prodigal Son w/ Jeremy Moore

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Jeremy Moore, a former Marine turned pastor from Ohio, whose life story is nothing short of remarkable. Jeremy opens up about the battles he fought long after leaving the military—the inner war, the wandering, and the moment he finally found his way home. With honesty and humility, he shares how his journey mirrors the biblical story of the Prodigal Son, and how grace met him in the places he least expected. His testimony is raw, redemptive, and deeply human. If you’ve ever felt lost, far from God, or unsure how to return, Jeremy’s story will remind you that no distance is too great and no past too broken for a comeback.

The Post Season Lull

In this episode of the God in the Timber podcast, I talk about that shift from the rush of hunting season into the quiet lull that follows. It’s a time when the woods slow down — and if I’m honest, it forces me to slow down too. I dive into what it really means to be still in a world that’s always pushing us to stay busy, and how those quiet moments tend to bring up thoughts we usually try to outrun. I share how I’ve been learning that this season of stillness isn’t empty — it’s an invitation from God. An invitation to trust Him more, to listen closer, and to grow in ways that don’t always happen when life is loud. My hope is that this conversation encourages you to lean into the quiet instead of fighting it, and to see stillness as a place where real personal and spiritual growth can take root.

TWO faces of FAITH

Today was a rough mental health day, and instead of pretending it wasn’t, I decided to talk about it. In this episode, I open up about what it feels like to struggle mentally—even when you’re walking with Christ. How so often the journey feels like five steps forward and two steps back, and how that same rhythm shows up in my mental health more times than I’d like to admit. We talk about grace, perseverance, and the reminder that setbacks don’t mean failure—they mean you’re still walking. If you’re feeling worn down, discouraged, or stuck in that back-and-forth season, you’re not alone. And if you’re struggling with your mental health, I encourage you at the end of this episode to seek help, reach out, and talk to someone. There is strength in faith, and there is strength in asking for help.

Drawn Back by Hope

In this episode, I’m sharing the story of my Alabama 8-point—taken from the ground—and everything that moment represented. It wasn’t just about the deer, the shot, or the outcome; it was about the hope that keeps us coming back to the woods season after season. Hope is what drives us as outdoorsmen and women—the belief that the next sit could be the one, that the work matters, and that patience is never wasted. From there, I dive into biblical hope and how it speaks directly into our lives today. Not a wishful thinking kind of hope, but the steady, rooted hope Scripture calls us to live by—one that carries us through the woods and through life itself.
