Unleashed
by Brent Henderson
The world doesn't need better hunters, better businessmen, or even better churchgoers. It needs men whose hearts have been unleashed by Jesus Christ. Join author, speaker, pastor, and lifelong outdoorsman Brent Henderson as he explores what it means to become the man God created you to be. Drawing from decades in the outdoors, real-life experiences, and the unchanging truth of Scripture, Brent challenges men to reject passivity, embrace their God-given purpose, and become dangerous for good. Whether the lesson comes from a tree stand, a hospital room, a mountaintop, or a valley, every episode points to one truth: when a man fully surrenders his life to Christ, everything changes. We are the resistance.
