Episode 117: The Return to the Wild | Basswood Lake BWCA Trip 2026

On this episode, we recap our recent trip to Basswood Lake in the BWCA. Jake, Jordan, and Ryan experienced the Boundary Waters for the first time, and together we share stories from an unforgettable few days in the wilderness. We talk about the incredible fishing, the beauty of Basswood Lake, and what it's like to truly get away from it all in one of the most remote places in Minnesota. From chasing walleyes, smallmouth, and northern pike to weathering a storm miles from camp, the trip was full of adventure, lessons learned, and memories we'll be talking about for years. Most importantly, we share where we encountered God throughout the trip in the beauty of creation, the challenges we faced, and the brotherhood built around campfires, canoes, and life in the wilderness. A huge shoutout to LaTourell's Moose Lake Outfitters for helping make the trip a first class experience.  Basswood delivered another trip we'll never forget and a reminder of why it's important to step away from the noise and return to the wild.

The Check-In: The Weight of Being "Fine"

How many times have you said "I'm good" when you really weren't? We are back with The Check-In, and this week we're talking about the pressure men feel to always have it together. The truth is, a lot of us are carrying more than we let on—stress, responsibility, anxiety, exhaustion, and the fear that being honest will make us look weak. In this episode, we unpack why men stay silent, the lie that strength means handling everything alone, and what it actually looks like to be honest about where you're at. If you've been carrying a weight nobody knows about, this conversation is for you. You don't have to have it all figured out. You don't have to pretend you're fine. And you were never meant to carry it alone.   Wild Faith Podcast Links: Store: https://www.wildfaithpodcast.com/category/all-products [https://www.wildfaithpodcast.com/category/all-products] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wildfaith/ [https://www.instagram.com/wildfaithpodcast/] TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wildfaithpodcast [https://www.tiktok.com/@wildfaithpodcast] YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WildFaithPodcast [https://www.youtube.com/@WildFaithPodcast]

Episode 116: Do You Want To Be Healed?

A lot of men say they want change. Peace. Freedom. Discipline. Healing. But what if part of us is still clinging to the very thing keeping us broken? This week we dive deep into the story of the crippled man at the Pool of Bethesda in The Gospel of John 5, where Jesus asks a question that still cuts straight through the heart of men today: "Do you want to be healed?" We unpack why so many men stay stuck in cycles of anger, isolation, addiction, shame, distraction, and spiritual numbness — even when they know they need change. We talk about the fear of surrender, the death of the old self, and why true healing in Christ requires more than just wanting life to get easier. This is a raw conversation about what it means to stop lying beside the pool and finally get up and walk. If you’ve been carrying the weight of the old man for too long, this episode is for you.   Wild Faith Podcast Links: Store: https://www.wildfaithpodcast.com/category/all-products [https://www.wildfaithpodcast.com/category/all-products] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wildfaith/ [https://www.instagram.com/wildfaithpodcast/] TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wildfaithpodcast [https://www.tiktok.com/@wildfaithpodcast] YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WildFaithPodcast [https://www.youtube.com/@WildFaithPodcast]

Episode 115: The Final Days of Turkey Season

Turkey season came to an end in the best way possible. In this episode, me and my brother recap the final days of the season, the ups and downs along the way, and both punching our tags before spring came to a close. There’s just something special about those last few mornings in the turkey woods knowing another season is about over. We talk lessons learned, favorite moments from the spring, and why these hunts always end up being about more than just chasing birds. Hope you guys enjoy this one and thanks for following along all season long.

Episode 114: Late Season Longbeards & Last Chance Gobblers

Late season turkey hunting is where things start getting real. The woods get quieter, birds stop following the script, and every hunt starts feeling more like a chess match. In this episode, we talk through how our mindset and tactics change once the season starts winding down and why this stretch of the season might actually be some of our favorite days to hunt all spring. We dive into midday run and gun setups, pressured gobblers, aggressive calling, roosting changes, decoy strategies, covering ground, and what it takes to finally get a stubborn late season tom to commit. If you’re still holding a tag and trying to make one last bird happen before season closes, this episode should fire you up to get back in the woods.
