The Casting Faith Podcast

Charlie Griffin and David Hymes

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.

    Armadillos in Ohio?! + A Tiger Escaped the Circus | EP 100

    100 EPISODES. 🎉For Episode 100 of The Casting Faith Podcast, Charlie and David bring back OG co-host Sean Delaney for a milestone episode packed with fishing stories, weird news, ridiculous questions, and a look back at how far the show has come.This week, we’re talking about armadillos naturally showing up in Ohio, a tiger getting loose at a circus, Sean getting caught in 6-foot waves on Lake Erie, steelhead season, a Denmark zoo asking for certain unwanted animals to feed its predators, and the impossible question: would you rather survive seven days alone in the Amazon rainforest or in a rowboat in the middle of the ocean?And because it’s Episode 100, we go back to 2024 for a special Florida Man or Ohio Man, reminisce about the early days of the podcast, and reflect on what God has done through the first 100 episodes.“Hitherto hath the LORD helped us.” — 1 Samuel 7:12What started as friends sitting around having real conversations has grown into something bigger than we imagined. Through the fishing stories, dumb questions, laughter, testimonies, and everyday conversations, the goal has stayed the same: faith in the middle of real life.Thank you to everyone who has watched, listened, subscribed, shared an episode, or supported Casting Faith along the way.100 down. Let’s see where the next 100 take us.🎣 New full episodes every Friday 🎬 Daily Shorts for encouragement, curiosity, and perspectiveWATCH & LISTENWatch Full Episodes https://youtube.com/@CastingFaithPodcast/videosListen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/5YoIPXpXmZ5ljfyReXeeZMSUPPORT OUR PARTNERSBackbone Coffee https://backbonecoffee.com/?ref=castingfaith&utm_campaign=affiliate_promotions&utm_medium=social&utm_source=affiliateHeritage Roofing https://roofsbyheritage.comGreat Lakes Fishing Expo https://www.greatlakesfishingexpo.com/1st Phorm https://1stphorm.com/castingfaithMORE CASTING FAITHShop Merch https://castingfaithpodcast-shop.fourthwall.comInstagram https://www.instagram.com/thecastingfaithpodcast/Linktree https://linktr.ee/TheCastingFaithPod#CastingFaithPodcast #Episode100 #Armadillos #Ohio #ChristianPodcast

    A 300-LB Lioness Was Spotted in Indiana… Then It VANISHED

    🎙️ The Casting Faith Podcast | Episode 98A 300-pound LIONESS wearing a blue harness was spotted roaming through an Indiana neighborhood… and she wasn’t alone. 🦁Police searched for hours with officers on the ground and thermal drones in the air, but found nothing. No lioness. No cub. And no nearby zoo or sanctuary reported one missing.And somehow, that’s only the beginning. 😂This week, Charlie and David are talking about the mysterious Indiana lion sighting, invasive animals showing up where they absolutely don’t belong, and a wiener dog named Valerie who survived an unbelievable 529 DAYS in the Australian outback.Plus, China held the Robot Olympics, one robot ran 100 meters faster than Usain Bolt’s world-record time, we get into AI, surveillance cameras, Burger Dogs, and why the people and things we surround ourselves with matter more than we realize.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☕ SUPPORT THE SHOWBackbone Coffee15% OFF with code CASTINGFAITHhttps://backbonecoffee.com/?ref=castingfaith&utm_campaign=affiliate_promotions&utm_medium=social&utm_source=affiliate💪 1st Phormhttps://1stphorm.com/castingfaith🎣 Great Lakes Fishing Expohttps://www.greatlakesfishingexpo.com/🏠 Heritage Roofinghttps://roofsbyheritage.com/🧢 Casting Faith Merchhttps://castingfaithpodcast-shop.fourthwall.com/━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━📱 FOLLOW CASTING FAITHInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/thecastingfaithpodcast/TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@castingfaithpodcastFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/castingfaithpodcast━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⏱️ CHAPTERS----━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━#CastingFaith #CastingFaithPodcast #ChristianPodcast #Lion #Podcast```One correction I made intentionally: **this is Episode 98**, not Episode 97. And I think this description sells the actual episode considerably better because the first three paragraphs reinforce the exact **lion/title/thumbnail promise**, while the rest shows viewers there’s a lot more in the episode.

    3 People Were Attacked by RABID BEAVERS in Maryland?!

    Three people were attacked by beavers in Maryland in less than a month... and the beavers had RABIES. 🦫Welcome to CFP Ep. 96 of The Casting Faith Podcast!This week, Charlie and David break down the bizarre string of rabid beaver attacks in Maryland, a fisherman who disappeared inside an underwater cave and survived for 15 DAYS, and a kid with some of the most unbelievable bird calls we've ever heard.Plus, Florida Man or Ohio Man returns, we talk Browns football, Crocs, weird childhood memories, and somehow end up discussing how much of our lives we spend worrying about things that haven't even happened yet.In this week's faith conversation, we look at Matthew 6:34 and the difference between preparing for tomorrow and living in fear of tomorrow. Planning is wisdom. Worry is different. Sometimes we get so focused on what might happen next that we miss what God has put in front of us today .━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ☕ SUPPORT THE SHOWBackbone Coffee15% OFF with code CASTINGFAITHhttps://backbonecoffee.com/?ref=castingfaith&utm_campaign=affiliate_promotions&utm_medium=social&utm_source=affiliate 💪 1st Phormhttps://1stphorm.com/castingfaith 🎣 Great Lakes Fishing Expohttps://www.greatlakesfishingexpo.com/ 🏠 Heritage Roofinghttps://roofsbyheritage.com/ 🧢 Casting Faith Merchhttps://castingfaithpodcast-shop.fourthwall.com/ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📱 FOLLOW CASTING FAITH Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thecastingfaithpodcast/ TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@castingfaithpodcast Facebook https://www.facebook.com/castingfaithpodcast #CastingFaith #RabidBeavers #BeaverAttack #ChristianPodcast #FunnyPodcast #OutdoorPodcast #WeirdNews

    An 8-Foot Python Was Blamed for Setting a SCHOOL ON FIRE?! 🐍🔥

    An 8-foot python is being blamed for starting a fire inside a middle school. 🐍🔥This week on the Casting Faith Podcast, we're diving into one of the wildest back-to-school stories we've ever heard. A classroom python named Nanner escaped after a fire broke out, and officials think he may have knocked over the heat lamp that started it.His teacher says the snake was framed.And somehow, that's not even the only animal causing chaos at school.A black bear broke into a teacher's classroom while she was getting ready for students to return, which leads us into a conversation about what happens when life completely wrecks the plans you thought you had figured out.Along the way, we catch up on the start of another school year, try some questionable candy from our childhood in Bring It Back or Leave It in the Past, play another round of Florida Man or Ohio Man, and look at Acts 16 and what it means when God redirects our steps.If you enjoy faith, fishing, clean comedy, crazy true stories, and authentic conversations that point people toward Christ, welcome to the Casting Faith Podcast.👇 QUESTION OF THE WEEKWhat are you blaming the python for? 😂Wrong order at the drive-thru? Late for work? Missing sock?

    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.
