Pete has a deep passion for the outdoors, spending more than 200 days a year in the outdoors, hiking, camping, hunting, and fishing wherever he can. But his passion for sharing the good news of Jesus is what drives him to continue to grow the podcast and reach as many people as he can through this medium.

    480 - Devotions - Colossians 4

    In a world where we're constantly surrounded by people who don't share our faith, it's easy to get caught up in the idea that we have to be perfect, that we have to have all the right answers, and that we have to present the gospel in a certain way. But what if that's not true? What if the key to effective communication is not about us, but about being open to the Holy Spirit's guidance? This week on Devotions with Christian Outdoors, Jon takes a closer look at Colossians 4, where Paul encourages us to devote ourselves to prayer, keeping alert with an attitude of thanksgiving. He reminds us that our words have the power to either build up or tear down, and that we need to be wise in how we communicate with those around us. We're also challenged to see every person we meet as an opportunity to share the love of Christ, and to let our speech be seasoned with grace. As we navigate the complexities of relationships and conversations, it's easy to get caught up in our own perspectives and opinions. But what if we're missing out on the opportunity to truly connect with others by not being willing to listen and learn from them? The Jon shares a story about a man who was sentenced to prison for eight years, and how his failure to yield to the Holy Spirit led to devastating consequences. If you're looking for a fresh perspective on how to live out your faith in everyday life, this episode is a must-listen. Join Jon as he explores the importance of being open to the Holy Spirit's guidance, and how that can lead to more effective communication and a deeper connection with those around us.

    476 - Devotions - We All Need Help Sometimes!

    In this episode of Devotions with Christian Outdoors, Jon reflects on the book of Philippians, specifically the circumstances of its writing. Paul, the Apostle, is under house arrest in Rome, yet he finds a way to minister to others and use his situation for the glory of God. The book of Philippians is one of the prison epistles, written by Paul while he's in custody. Despite the challenges he faces, Paul's effectiveness as a leader requires him to speak to other believers and ask for help. He learns to pivot his circumstances and use them as an opportunity for training and teaching. The speaker highlights the importance of recognizing when we need help, just like Paul did, and being willing to ask for it. The episode also touches on the theme of community and interdependence in the church. Jon shares a personal story about learning to accept help from others during a difficult time in his life. He emphasizes that even the most gifted and called leaders need to recognize their limitations and rely on others. This is seen in the lives of Paul and his companions, Timothy and Epaphroditus, who provide support and help during his time of need. As we listen to this episode, we're encouraged to reflect on our own lives and recognize when we need to ask for help. We're reminded that we're not alone in our struggles and that God has given us the corporate body of Christ to support us. Join Jon as he explores the lessons from the book of Philippians and how they apply to our lives today.

Today, we have an inspiring guest: Brion Whitten. Brion grew up in Winona, Mississippi, and moved to Oxford with his family at the age of eight. Faced with challenges like poverty and a troubled youth, he made some choices that led him down a difficult path, including a couple of arrests during his teenage years.

Deployed to Iraq in 2004, Brion not only served his country but also experienced significant personal growth. He married his wife, Kelly, just before his deployment, and they have built a beautiful family together with two sons, Chase and Brooks. In his 30s, Brion’s life took another transformative turn when Kelly’s father introduced him to Christ. Embracing his faith has become the cornerstone of his life, and he is passionate about sharing the Gospel with others. At 43 years old, Brion continues to embody strength and resilience, using his experiences to inspire and uplift those around him.
