365 - Sandy Brady - A Transformation Like No Other

Author: Pete Rogers September 15, 2025 Duration: 52:46

If you're interested in a show that covers every topic you can imagine, you tuned into the right show. Outdoors, Outdoor television, top of the mountain, deepest valley. From a pioneer in Outdoor television to the depths of alcohol and cocaine addiction, to being deep in debt, Sandy Brady has lived it all. 

Growing up in Reidsville, NC, it was a chance meeting at a gas station in Chamberlain, South Dakota that began his journey. While pumping gas, Sandy bumped into Tom Miranda, this was the late 1980's and a friendship struck up that let to Sandy becoming a camera man for Tom while everything was just beginning. 

A few years of success led to Tom having to fire Sandy becasue of the addiction that was taking hold of Sandy....as he tells the story, you will be drawn into his pain, and authenticity. Sandy's journey was a long and painful one that ultimately led to him being disowned by his father, his wife leaving him, and more than seven figuers in debt. It was at that moment, he caught a glimer of hope....the hope that is only found in Jesus Christ. 

This may be one of the best shows Christian Outdoors has been a part of, it certainly is one of the most captivating stories. 

Today Sandy is also known as the Traveling Pocket Cross on IG @travelingpocketcross where he makes these small pocket cross for people.

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.
