In this episode of Devotions with Christian Outdoors, Jon reflects on the book of Philippians, specifically the circumstances of its writing. Paul, the Apostle, is under house arrest in Rome, yet he finds a way to minister to others and use his situation for the glory of God.

The book of Philippians is one of the prison epistles, written by Paul while he's in custody. Despite the challenges he faces, Paul's effectiveness as a leader requires him to speak to other believers and ask for help. He learns to pivot his circumstances and use them as an opportunity for training and teaching. The speaker highlights the importance of recognizing when we need help, just like Paul did, and being willing to ask for it.

The episode also touches on the theme of community and interdependence in the church. Jon shares a personal story about learning to accept help from others during a difficult time in his life. He emphasizes that even the most gifted and called leaders need to recognize their limitations and rely on others. This is seen in the lives of Paul and his companions, Timothy and Epaphroditus, who provide support and help during his time of need.

As we listen to this episode, we're encouraged to reflect on our own lives and recognize when we need to ask for help. We're reminded that we're not alone in our struggles and that God has given us the corporate body of Christ to support us. Join Jon as he explores the lessons from the book of Philippians and how they apply to our lives today.

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.
