Bear Rinehart (NEEDTOBREATHE) on Surrendering, Fatherhood & the Moment That Changed His Life

What this episode covers

NEEDTOBREATHE frontman Bear Rinehart joins The Brothers Hunt out in God’s Country for one of the most honest conversations they've had on the podcast.Bear talks about growing up in Possum Kingdom, South Carolina, riding dogs as a kid, BB gun wars, and the kind of wild childhood that doesn’t exist anymore. From there the conversation moves into music, fatherhood, and life on the road as the lead singer of the Grammy-nominated band NEEDTOBREATHE and his solo project Wilder Woods.The guys also hit a classic “What You Mad At?” segment (Airbnb secret rooms and crate-sh*tting dogs make the list), swap parenting stories about raising young kids, and talk about how life changes when you become a dad.But the heart of the episode comes when Bear opens up about quitting drinking, faith, surrender, and the season of life that inspired his newest music. He explains how a deeply personal writing process led to some of the most honest songs he’s ever recorded—including writing tracks alone in the mornings before recording sessions with producer Dave Cobb in Savannah.It’s funny, raw, thoughtful, and one of those conversations that goes way deeper than expected.If you like conversations about music, faith, family, the outdoors, and figuring life out along the way, you’ll love this one.BROUGHT TO YOU BY TACTACAM.
