Here at Christian Outdoors, we relish the opportunity to highlight other ministries. Whether their focus is on Veterans and First Responders, or "regular folks". We share the responsibility to bring others into the kingdom. Today is no different. Today's guest is Clark Bartee, and Clark has a passion for Pastors and church leaders and has a ministry geared towards helping them to decompress and get away by flyfishing in Eastern Tennessee. Clark Bartee is the executive director and founder of High Ground Outfitters, but the most important role is being a child of God, husband to Hannah, and father to Boone. Clark Bartee lives with his Family in East Tennessee, and has been in ministry and outdoor recreation for 10 years with a majority of his vocation in Christian retreats and in Church ministry. After God opened doors to guide in Montana and Western North Carolina he is merging his passion for Christian ministry and formation with professional guiding to offer life giving fly fishing trips and retreats. High Ground Outfitters operates in North East Tennessee on the South Holston River and Watauga River, as well as offering trips in the surrounding areas of Western NC, and Southwest, VA.

Christian Outdoors Podcast is owned and operated by Christian Outdoor Adventures, Inc. a 501c3 non-profit operating in Taylors, SC.

In 2019, after a lot of prayer and research, founder and host, Pete Rogers launched Christian Outdoors Podcast with one drive and mission. "To talk about all things outdoors and how to enjoy God every day."

Through his 25 years as an outdoor writer, author, and speaker. Pete learned that any of the folks in the outdoor arena were Christians without a platform to express their faith. Cable television shied away from overt or subtle mentions of Christianity. Publications were clear, that no mention of God, much less Jesus was not allowed. This left a void for many who live for Christ but who also need to make a living with their product(s).

On October 1, 2019, the first episode was released with the commitment to release one episode a week for one full year and then re-evaluate. After that first year, the momentum was slow, but Pete felt that he needed to keep going.

The model is simple; Pete interviews stakeholders in the outdoor community and they discuss their passion for the outdoors, and we follow that with a discussion about their individual faith journey. On a regular basis, Pete will bring in two pastors who share his passion, tackle tough theological issues, and share their insight into what the Bible says about that particular subject.

Pete has a deep passion for the outdoors, spending more than 200 days a year in the outdoors, hiking, camping, hunting, and fishing wherever he can. But his passion for sharing the good news of Jesus is what drives him to continue to grow the podcast and reach as many people as he can through this medium.

We are just getting started, and with God's blessing, and the support of key partners, this ministry will continue to grow and reach folks with the good news of Jesus.
