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.

    Noah’s Ark Found?! The Research Was STOLEN?!

    Did researchers just find Noah’s Ark right where the Bible says it came to rest? This week Charlie, David and Craig go deep into the rabbit hole surrounding the boat-shaped formation in eastern Turkey, the drilling happening at the site, the Biblical connection to the mountains of Ararat, and the reported break-in involving research equipment connected to the investigation. Then things get even weirder. We’re talking ancient giants, Bigfoot, dinosaur bones, worldwide flood stories, Biblical archaeology, AI, Antarctica, Atlantis, painted squirrels, Toys R Us coming back, and Snacks From the Past. And underneath all of it is one real question: If Noah’s Ark was actually found, would it change your faith? Grab some Backbone Coffee and hang out with us.

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.

    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?
