391 - Russel Brelsford-Pennsylvania Hunter

Author: Pete Rogers December 8, 2025 Duration: 1:06:12

Today's guest is Russell Brelsford. Russ as he prefers grew up in northeastern Pennsylvania mountains where he spent as much time outdoors as possible. He was blessed to grow up in a Christian home with parents who were excellent role models for him and his two brothers. It was there that his love for the outdoors blossomed.

Growing up in a hunting family, it was a natural progression that he began to hunt at the age of 12. Russ' love for the woods eventually grew into a passion.

As he reached his thirties, is quest for adventure started to lead him on big game hunts outside his native Pennsylvania woods. From the west to Northern Maine and Canada, Russ ventured into the wilds with his rifle in one hand and video camera in the other.

Earlier this year he was able to fulfill a lifelong dream of hunting the dark continent of South Africa. Not only did he get to bag a host of animals, but as he says, God opened the door to an unexpected blessing and opportunity.

Since retiring in 2018, Russ began hosting men's breakfasts in his home, often bringing in speakers to share outdoor stories and a message from the gospel. 

Russ also works part time at a local gun store and creates content for them on his Target Tuesday which gets posted to their Facebook page.

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.
