 200th Episode Celebration. 

In the world of Podcasting 90% of all podcasts end before their 10th episode. Of the 10% remaining, only .5% make it to 100 episodes. Today CHRISTIAN OUTDOORS PODCASTS celebrates 200 episodes of content designed to "discuss all things outdoors and how to enjoy God every day." 

For the past 4 years we have pushed, climbed, crawled and fought our way through every week of recording podcasts. I have grown as a host, and as a producer. Many new friendships have been started through this podcast and God has worked and moved through the conversations about the outdoors and his grace and love for us. God has blessed us beyond measure. 

What began as a small mission and ministry has grown into more than 1,600,000 downloads and a subscriber base of more than a million. It is truly humbling to see how God is working in and through this show. 

Today, Jon Goodwin, Pastor of Heartland Bible Church in Gasport, NY and Chris Taylor, pastor of Immanuel Baptist in Glasgow, Ky join me as they have done so many times before. 

We spend a few minutes reminiscing, and then we each "make a case for Jesus" By each of us encouraging the listener to accept Jesus as their personal savior. Three different men from different parts of the country and different churches all make a case for Jesus. This may be one of the most powerful episodes we have ever done. 

But don't worry, we are set in and season 5 looks to the best yet! I have great guests coming on board and some older ones are coming back as we continue to strive to "discuss all things outdoors and how to enjoy God every day."

Response Survey


For twenty-five years, Pete Rogers has been writing and speaking about the wilderness, but he found the conversations happening around campfires and in duck blinds often went deeper than just tactics or gear. Those moments sparked Christian Outdoors Podcast, which he launched in 2019 after considerable reflection. This isn't a sermon from a mountaintop, but a series of genuine conversations rooted in a simple, guiding mission: to explore all things outdoors and discover how to find joy in a spiritual connection every single day. You’ll hear from hunters, anglers, hikers, and conservationists who share their own stories from the field, blending practical outdoor wisdom with personal reflections on faith and creation. Pete draws on his long background as an outdoor writer and author to steer these discussions, creating a space where the thrill of a turkey hunt and the quiet of a sunrise sit comfortably alongside matters of spirit. It’s a unique blend, born from a nonprofit based in Taylors, South Carolina, that feels less like a produced show and more like an invitation to join a like-minded community. Each episode of this podcast is built on the idea that the natural world and a life of faith aren't separate journeys, but are beautifully and inextricably woven together.
