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.

    He Brought A Sword Into WWII… And They Let Him | CFP Ep.83

    He brought a sword into World War II… and somehow that was only the beginning. This week on The Casting Faith Podcast, Charlie and David are joined by first-time guest Christian Bulgrin for an episode full of weird history, brotherhood chaos, summer memories, and some of the funniest storytelling we’ve had in a while. It starts with one of the wildest true stories we’ve ever covered: a real WWII soldier who literally brought a sword, longbow, and bagpipes into battle. Somehow… it only gets weirder from there. From airsoft wars in the woods and creepy summer camp memories to Florida Man vs Ohio Man and meaningful conversations about fatherhood, friendship, and faith — this episode somehow turns hilarious, nostalgic, and unexpectedly encouraging all at once. ⚔️ If you love weird-but-true history, good friends, faith, and absolute chaos — this one’s for you. 👇 SUPPORT THE SHOW 👇 ☕ Backbone Coffee https://backbonecoffee.com/?ref=castingfaith&utm_campaign=affiliate_promotions&utm_medium=social&utm_source=affiliate 💪 1st Phorm https://1stphorm.com/castingfaith 🎣 Great Lakes Fishing Expo https://www.greatlakesfishingexpo.com/ 🏠 Heritage Roofing https://roofsbyheritage.com/ 👕 CFP Merch https://castingfaithpodcast-shop.fourthwall.com/ 🎧 Listen On Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/5YoIPXpXmZ5ljfyReXeeZM?si=57a6301a14604410 🍎 Listen On Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/ke/podcast/the-casting-faith-podcast/id1781330549 📲 Instagram @thecastingfaithpodcast CHAPTERS 00:00 – He Brought a Sword Into WWII?! 00:26 – Welcome Back + Christian Bulgrin Joins the Show 02:10 – Summer, Memorial Day & Brotherhood 10:18 – Airsoft Wars at Grandpa’s Cabin 😂 16:52 – The Wild Story of “Mad Jack” Churchill 19:56 – A Sword, Longbow & Bagpipes in WWII?! 23:08 – Sponsor Break: Backbone Coffee 24:02 – Baseball Legends Who Went to War 31:35 – Mulan, Disney & Dad Debates 😂 34:22 – The Creepy Story of Marv in the Woods 42:30 – Fatherhood, Friendship & Being Present 53:30 – Sponsor Break: Heritage Roofing 54:02 – Florida Man vs Ohio Man Begins 😂 57:16 – Man Escapes Police in a Stolen Kayak 1:00:00 – Raccoon Steals a Hot Dog?! 1:02:43 – Crocs, Boxers & Convenience Store Chaos 1:04:34 – Taco Bell Cinnamon Twist Emergency 1:06:34 – Christmas Lights Car Police Chase 1:08:59 – Last Cast + Almond Boy 😂 1:13:19 – Sponsor Shoutouts 1:15:12 – Cast Faith in Everyday Life #FaithPodcast #ChristianPodcast #WWIIHistory #FloridaMan #CastingFaithPodcast

    He Lost Everything… He Still Stayed | CFP Ep.82

    What if the smallest things in life quietly changed everything? Napoleon may have lost an empire because of missing nails. A ship can drift hundreds of miles off course from being just one degree off. So what happens when grief, pain, disappointment, or life itself starts pulling you off course? In this deeply personal episode, Charlie, David, and returning guest Jason LaBar talk honestly about grief, loss, healing, and how God carries us through the hardest seasons of life. From weird history to real testimony, this episode is about learning how to heal without drifting from purpose. 🙏 If you’re walking through loss, pain, disappointment, or just trying to stay grounded in life — this one is for you. 👇 Watch or listen to more episodes: The Casting Faith Podcast YouTube 🎧 Listen on Spotify: The Casting Faith Podcast on Spotify 🍎 Listen on Apple Podcasts: The Casting Faith Podcast on Apple Podcasts 📸 Follow on Instagram: @thecastingfaithpodcast ☕ Support the show: Backbone Coffee: Backbone Coffee 💪 1st Phorm Supplements: 1st Phorm – Casting Faith 🏠 Heritage Roofing: Heritage Roofing 🎣 Great Lakes Fishing Expo Partner 🙏 Our mission is simple: cast faith in everyday life. #FaithPodcast #ChristianPodcast #GriefHealing #FaithInHardTimes #CastingFaithPodcast

    Coffee Was BANNED… Because People Talked Too Much (CFP Ep.78)

    People were actually banned from drinking coffee… not because of the drink—but because of what happened when people gathered. In this episode, we break down the real story of coffee bans in history and why conversation itself became dangerous. What started as a simple drink turned into something far more powerful: ideas, influence, and real connection. We also sit down with Cam, founder of Backbone Coffee, to talk about why coffee still sits at the center of real life—hard work, everyday conversations, and the moments that actually matter.
