But his path was not a cake walk….not at all. Perry shares with us his struggles, his turmoil and his path to recovery while learning how to trust God along the Pacific Crest Trail.

but Joel is much more than this, he is also a dedicated follower of Jesus and today we discuss the revitalization of Remington, and we spend some time talking about his faith journey and his passion for Jesus. It is a great show and one I know you will enjoy. 

This week on Christian Outdoors we have with us author Mark David Pullen whose new work is a fantasy/science fiction Christian book targeting young adults ages 8-14. 
 
Mark uses his gift for writing to capture the imagination of the reader and transport them into another world where the protagonist is facing strange creatures and obstacles but by using their ingenuity and their faith, they are able to overcome the challenges they face.
 
Pullen is a great guest and his story of his faith journey while writing this first of a series of books in the land of the Oasis is needed and well written for today’s audience who are starving for good reading material.
