What started as a fun hobby now draws millions every month — but the real story is how the outdoors became a place for honesty, brotherhood, and spiritual wake-up calls.We dig into what makes hunting such fertile ground for men: long sits that quiet the mind, real conversations with guys you trust, and the reminder that you were never meant to walk alone. John shares the conviction that changed everything — “If I’m not the same man in the woods, at home, and online… I’m not the man God called me to be.”From marriage and fatherhood to spiritual leadership and the need for 2 a.m. friends, this episode hits the heart of why men today are hungry for real connection. If you’ve ever felt the tug toward deeper brotherhood — or wondered how God might use your passions for something bigger — this one’s your spark.Jon Goodwin, is a husband of Jen, dad of Kaitlyn, Matthew, and Daniel, pastor of Hartland Bible Church, an avid whitetail deer hunter, outdoor influencer, and lover of all things outdoors. Jon has dabbled in the outdoor industry for years and owns the Wild Game Freaks brand which gets millions of impressions each month on Instagram.  He is also passionate about local engagement in his community as he avidly volunteers with several non-profits and sits on multiple non-profit boards.  Whether it be through preaching at his church, recording the weekly devotions with Christian Outdoors, or sharing at a sportsmen’s banquet, Jon relishes every opportunity to share about his love for Jesus and his love for the great outdoors.You can find Jon and all he is doing on his social platforms: Instagram: @wildgamefreaks and @jonpgoodwinYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WildgamefreaksFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/jon.goodwin.9  Wild Game Freaks TikTok: tiktok.com/@wildgamefreaksWe need your help to get the Man-Up podcasts in front of more men who can benefit from this content.Here are three simple things you can do that would really help us accomplish that goal: Follow us on Instagram / @manupadventureReview us on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Review us on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/2NhWK7n...Subscribe on YouTube / @man-upadventurecampIf this episode encouraged you, hit Subscribe, tap the bell icon, and drop a comment to let us know what you think!
