In this episode of the Wild Faith Podcast, we break down the first week of turkey season here in Minnesota. From sunrise gobbles to heart-pounding action, we dive into the highs, the lows, and everything in between. It was a week packed with memories, hard-earned lessons, and unforgettable moments in God’s creation.
A big shoutout and congratulations to Jack, Ron, and Collin on tagging their first birds ever—may it be the first of many. Sharing that kind of success with good friends and family in the spring woods is what it’s all about.
We talk about more than just the hunt—this one's about camaraderie, legacy, and the beauty of spring. From walking dirt roads to calling in gobblers, we reflect on how hunting draws us closer to each other and to God through His creation.

Following Jesus isn’t easy—but it’s always worth it.
In this Friday Fuel, we dive into Luke 9:23, where Jesus lays it out plain: if we want to follow Him, we have to deny ourselves, take up our cross daily, and walk in His footsteps. This verse isn’t just something to read—it’s something to live.
If you’re feeling worn down, questioning your purpose, or just trying to be a man (or woman) of faith in a world that’s pulling you in every direction, this message is for you.
We’ll talk about:
What it really means to “take up your cross” every day
Why self-denial isn’t weakness—it’s strength
How following Jesus costs something, but gives everything
Living with purpose, grit, and kingdom focus
This isn’t about religion or checking a box. It’s about laying down your pride, your plans, your comfort—and stepping into something greater.

In this episode of Friday Fuel, we’re diving into what real boldness in faith looks like — not just in church, but in everyday life as husbands, dads, and men trying to do it right. From leading our families to standing firm in a culture that pulls us in every direction, this is a call to live different — to be consistent, rooted, and unashamed to follow Christ. We’ll look at Romans 6, Proverbs 27, and 2 Timothy 1 to remind us that bold faith isn’t about being loud — it’s about being steady. Your wife, your kids, your friends — they’re all watching. So what kind of man are you showing them? This one’s for the guys in the thick of it — young dads, middle-aged men, husbands, brothers, and anyone trying to figure out how to walk it out and lead well.

In this week’s Friday Fuel, we’re diving into what it truly means to lead like The Good Shepherd. Jesus said in John 10:11, "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep." But what does that look like for us as men, as leaders, as outdoorsmen?
Just like a shepherd protects his flock—or a hunter reads the land, stays patient, and stands firm—we are called to lead with compassion, stand our ground in truth, and sacrifice for those entrusted to us. Leadership isn’t about control—it’s about responsibility. And real leadership? It costs something.
This episode will challenge you to ask:🔹 Are you leading like a hired hand—running when things get hard?🔹 Or are you standing firm, guiding, protecting, and giving yourself for others?
It’s time to lead with strength, faith, and conviction. Let’s dive in.

Evan Bungum
Growing up in SE Minnesota, my love for hunting and fishing was nurtured by my dad. From turkeys to whitetails, those early days shaped my passion for the outdoors. As years passed, my focus shifted from hunting to storytelling and capturing my adventures. Through outdoor media, I embarked on unforgettable journeys, driven by a desire to inspire others to appreciate God's creation.
Fred Bear's wisdom resonates deeply within me, guiding my steps as I traverse the wilderness with reverence for its inhabitants. My mission now is clear: to share the beauty of nature and the light of faith with the world. With each story I share, I hope to ignite a spark in others, encouraging them to find joy in both the wonders of creation and the embrace of faith.
Supported by a loving wife and a community of kindred spirits, I feel blessed to live a life so deeply intertwined with the great outdoors. Each day brings new adventures, new stories to tell, and I eagerly await the next chapter in this journey of faith and exploration.
Luke Timmons
Hailing from southeastern Minnesota, my roots run deep, grounded in the rich soil of a small-town upbringing. Sundays were spent in the pews of our local church, surrounded by the warmth of family and the embrace of faith, before venturing into the woods in pursuit of whitetail deer. Over time, my love for the outdoors expanded to encompass a diverse array of hunting and fishing pursuits. Yet, amidst the ebb and flow of life's adventures, it is my Christian faith that serves as my compass, shaping me into a dedicated father, a devoted husband, a respectful son, and a loyal friend. It's the principles instilled by my faith that guide my actions and relationships, illuminating the path towards growth, love, and service to others. Through this podcast, it is my goal to spread the word of God and ignite a fervent passion for fellow believers to embrace their Christian faith through the beauty and serenity of the outdoors.
