Weird stories. Real faith. Honest conversations. Hosted by Charlie Griffin and David Hymes, The Casting Faith Podcast is a Christian podcast where weird-but-true stories, faith, fishing, family, humor, and real life collide. One episode might unpack bizarre history or a story that sounds completely fake but somehow turns out true. The next turns into conversations about testimony, fatherhood, outdoors culture, current events, and following Jesus in everyday life. Some episodes get deep. Some get hilarious. Some go completely off the rails. New episodes every Friday.

    An 8-Year-Old Caught a PIRANHA in Pennsylvania?!

    Episode 94 | The Casting Faith PodcastAn 8-year-old went fishing in Pennsylvania expecting to catch the usual bluegill, catfish, or bass.Instead, he reeled in a 2-pound red-bellied PIRANHA. 😳And somehow, that isn't even the weirdest animal story in this episode.David is finally back from vacation, and apparently Charlie cannot be left unsupervised. In just one week, Charlie built a flamethrower, injured his back sleeping, smashed his toe with frozen butternut squash soup, and destroyed the podcast MacBook.Then things get even stranger:🐟 An 8-year-old catches a piranha in Pennsylvania🐍 A football player practices with a venomous snake INSIDE his helmet🦎 The bizarre reason Cincinnati has wild lizards🪖 Australia sends soldiers with machine guns to fight 20,000 emus🐻 A black bear gets stranded on top of a utility pole🎢 A Cedar Point rider becomes a human windshield🚔 Another round of Florida Man or Ohio ManBut somewhere between piranhas, emus, snakes, and broken MacBooks, the episode takes a deeper turn.Charlie shares the story of Tamika, a woman he met at Chipotle, and how an ordinary interaction became a reminder that God knows exactly where He has placed you.You may feel out of place. You may not understand why you're in the season you're in. But if God has positioned you somewhere, there may be someone there you're meant to reach.Thanks for watching Episode 94 of The Casting Faith Podcast!🎣 SUPPORT THE SHOW☕ BACKBONE COFFEEGreat coffee and a great way to support Casting Faith:https://backbonecoffee.com/?ref=castingfaith&utm_campaign=affiliate_promotions&utm_medium=social&utm_source=affiliate👕 CASTING FAITH MERCHShop Baja Bless, Fishers of Men gear, hats and more:https://castingfaithpodcast-shop.fourthwall.com/💪 1ST PHORMShop 1st Phorm and support Casting Faith:https://1stphorm.com/castingfaith🎣 GREAT LAKES FISHING EXPOCome see Casting Faith at the Great Lakes Fishing Expo:https://www.greatlakesfishingexpo.com/🏠 HERITAGE ROOFINGRoofing and general contracting in Northeast Ohio.
