From Wild Living to Faith: Adam Grenda's Unexpected Journey | Hunt Stealth Podcast What happens when a hard-partying Alaska bush pilot who never imagined himself becoming religious starts questioning the direction of his life? In this Hunt Stealth Podcast mini episode, Ryan Uffens sits down with Alaska bush pilot, hunter, and entrepreneur Adam Grenda for a conversation that goes well beyond hunting. Adam opens up about a near-death experience in the Alaskan wilderness when he nearly drowned trying to save an airplane. As he struggled to stay above the freezing water, Adam says he heard a voice tell him, "I'm with you, my son." It was a moment he never forgot. Not long afterward, Adam met a woman on Tinder who was unlike anyone he'd dated before. She loved hunting, had recently taken a Dall sheep, and happened to be a committed member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. At the time, Adam was drinking heavily, living hard, and wondering whether the life he was living would ever lead to the family he wanted. Meeting Tana gave him a reason to reconsider where he was headed, eventually leading him to embrace faith and make some significant changes. Ryan also shares his own journey back to church, including becoming a young father, struggling to understand his beliefs, and the people who helped him develop a relationship with Jesus Christ. The conversation turns to what faith actually looks like when life gets uncomfortable. Adam talks about leaving a secure career flying for the federal government, building businesses, dealing with financial uncertainty, and learning that trusting God doesn't mean sitting around waiting for things to happen. In this mini episode, we cover: Adam's near-death experience and the spiritual moment that stayed with himHow meeting his future wife changed the direction of his lifeWalking away from heavy drinking and destructive habitsAdam's unexpected conversion to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day SaintsRyan's personal journey back to faith and the mentors who helped himWhy faith is a process rather than something you figure out overnightThe importance of family, personal accountability, and living with purposeLeaving a secure career to pursue entrepreneurshipWhy trusting God still requires hard work, preparation, and sacrificeThis isn't a conversation between two guys claiming to have everything figured out. It's two husbands, fathers, hunters, and entrepreneurs talking openly about mistakes they've made, what they've learned, and how their relationship with Jesus Christ has changed the way they approach life. Whether you're deeply rooted in your faith, trying to find your way back, or simply wondering what it means to trust something bigger than yourself, there's something worth hearing in this conversation. Faith doesn't mean you have all the answers. Sometimes it means moving forward, doing the work, and trusting that you'll understand more along the way.
