383 - Protectors Peak with Tom Walton

Author: Pete Rogers November 17, 2025 Duration: 1:04:21
Tom Walton is a Christ follower, husband, and passionate outdoorsman. A veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, Tom has been in law enforcement for 13 years and is currently a detective and SWAT team member. He has also guided a few hunting and fishing trips in his home state of Idaho.
 
Over the last 13 years, Tom has been involved in numerous critical and traumatic incidents. His law enforcement career has put a strain on his life and marriage. Thankfully, Tom turned to Christ and the church for help. 
 
With he and his wife in a much healthier place mentally and spiritually, he has become passionate about helping his fellow First Responders and Veterans find peace and healing. Prayers for guidance led him to meet Nate and Becky Harder, the founders of Protector's Peak Ministries. 
 
Protector's Peak is a non-profit organization located on the 220 acre Shilo Ranch in Calder, ID. Protector's Peak provides a place for our nations hero servants and their families to find rest, healing, and reconnection with God through their mountain retreats. 
 
Tom is excited to continue volunteering at Protector's Peak and has recently accepted a board position where he hopes to serve his Kingdom purpose.
 
 

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.
