In today’s episode we’re sitting down with Jordan Yira. Growing up in western Minnesota, Jordan’s farming roots sparked his lifelong passion for wildlife stewardship. From crafting food plots to harvesting mature whitetails, his real-world experience has made him a sought-after consultant for landowners looking to optimize their properties for hunting and conservation.
Jordan’s journey in the outdoors isn’t just about his professional expertise—it’s also about family traditions and how the outdoors has shaped his life. Raised in a family where hunting and spending time in nature were central, Jordan has carried those values into his own family life. He’s a devoted husband to his wife, Greta, and together they’re raising their two kids with the same love for hunting and appreciation of the natural world. Whether they’re hunting together in the field or simply exploring the Minnesota woods, the Yira family is constantly out enjoying nature as a family.
But beyond the joy of being outdoors, Jordan shares how his faith intersects with his love for the land and how it influences his approach to hunting and conservation. For Jordan, the outdoors is a place where he connects deeply with God, a place of renewal, and a space for reflection. This connection to nature also plays a critical role in men’s mental health—providing a necessary outlet for stress, a space to clear the mind, and a reminder of the beauty and simplicity of life.

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.
