This is Friday Fuel for the man who’s tired of pretending.
In this raw and real devotional built on 2 Corinthians 12:9, we talk honestly about what it means to be weak—and why that’s not a curse, but a call to lean into God’s strength. If you’re feeling burnt out, ashamed, overwhelmed, or like you're just not enough... this message is for you.
We’re not here to preach at you. We’re here to tell the truth: God meets you in the struggle. His grace isn’t just sufficient—it’s powerful. And it shows up exactly when yours runs out.
This is the kind of encouragement Christian men need: uncut, grounded in Scripture, and aimed straight at the heart.

In this raw and honest episode of The Check-In, we kick off our Monday series with a deep dive into the root of anxiety and how it’s often less about fear—and more about a desperate need for control. We ask the cutting question:

Getting honest about mental health this week. If you’ve ever felt like you’re smiling on the outside but falling apart inside, you’re not the only one. We’ve been taught to stay quiet and push through—but silence isn’t strength. Psalm 34:18 reminds us that God is near to the brokenhearted. This is about being real, finding healing, and remembering you don’t have to carry it alone. Hope is still here. Keep going.

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.
