Are you in a season of struggle, feeling lost, tired, or like you're walking through the wilderness alone? You’re not. In the Bible, God often leads His people into the wilderness—not to abandon them, but to strengthen them. Moses met God in the wilderness. Elijah found restoration there. John the Baptist lived there. And Jesus? Before He started His ministry, He was led by the Spirit into the wilderness for 40 days.
Lent is our time to step into the wilderness—to strip away distractions, seek God, and grow stronger in faith. If you’ve been battling exhaustion, doubt, or just the weight of life, this video is for you. Let’s talk about why the wilderness isn’t a punishment—it’s preparation.

Ever feel stuck in a season that just won’t end? Like winter hanging on too long, waiting for a change that never comes?
I remember a turkey season like that—cold, silent, nothing moving. Morning after morning, I called, listened… and got nothing. It felt dead. But just when I was ready to give up, the woods came alive. One gobble. Then another. Everything changed in an instant.
Jesus said in John 11:25, “I am the resurrection and the life.” No matter how lost or broken things seem, He has the power to bring life where there’s only silence. His resurrection wasn’t just for the past—it’s for today, for you, right now.
Spring is coming. The season is changing. And so is your story.
✅ Why we all grow weary—but God never does✅ The deeper meaning behind Isaiah 40:28-31✅ How to find real strength when you have nothing left✅ How Jesus fulfills this promise and gives us lasting hope
If you need encouragement today, if you feel like you’re barely holding on—this is your reminder that you are not alone. God is with you, He sees you, and He will renew your strength.

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.
