Christian Outdoors Podcast

Today's guest is one of the top anglers competing on the Major League Fishing Bass Pro Tour, but fishing is only part of his story. Nick LeBrun is a devoted Christian, a husband to his wife Jolene, and the proud father of three children.

While he's known for competing at the highest level in professional bass fishing, Nick says the greatest transformation in his life happened away from the water. After years of running from God, he surrendered his life to Christ on July 8, 2018. Since then, he's found a peace, joy, and purpose that has reshaped every area of his life—from his family and his faith to the way he approaches competition.

Today, we're excited to hear about his journey in professional fishing, what it's like competing on the Bass Pro Tour, and how his relationship with Jesus Christ has influenced both his life and career.

Please welcome to the show, Nick LeBrun.

You have probably heard it said that "somebody is so earthly minded that are of no earthly good."  I fear this description often describes believers who long for the kingdom that is to come rather than live out their calling in the kingdom that is!

Today we're continuing our bass fishing series with one of the most respected anglers in the sport of bass fishing —the 2019 Bassmaster Classic Champion, Ott DeFoe.

Ott has built a reputation as one of the most consistent competitors on the professional circuit. Over an eight-year span, he finished in the Top 20 in more than half of the B.A.S.S. events he entered and cashed a check in nearly 70 percent of his tournaments—an incredible level of consistency at the highest level of the sport.

His list of accomplishments are impressive. He's the 2019 Bassmaster Classic Champion, won Bass Pro Tour Stage Three in 2020, captured the Bass Pro Tour Heritage Cup in 2021, claimed the Heavy Hitters title in 2022 along with its $100,000 top prize, teamed up with Andy Montgomery to win the Knighten Industries Heritage Cup in 2024, and in 2025 put on a dominating performance by winning Bass Pro Tour Stage 6 on the Potomac River by more than 20 pounds.

Today, we're looking forward to hearing about his career, his approach to staying consistently successful, as well as his passion for his faith.

Samson, a womanizer with an anger problem was used by God to rescue God's people at the end of his life and his restoration began with a simple yet powerful prayer, "Remember me and strengthen me."  God heard him.  God remembered him.  God strengthened him.  In the midst of Samson's life of consequences that were resulting from his lack of faithfulness God heard him and restored him.  You see my friends, nobody is beyond the reach of God's grasp and nobody is so far gone that God can't restore them!  The means you and me!

Randy Howell is from Guntersville, Alabama, where he and his wife, Robin, have built a life together for the past 34 years. They are the proud parents of two sons, Laker and Oakley.

Randy is best known as the 2014 Bassmaster Classic World Champion, a 16-time Bassmaster Classic qualifier, a six-time Bassmaster champion, and the owner of more than 50 Top 10 finishes throughout his professional career. He also holds the Major League Fishing Big Bass record with an incredible 12-pound, 14-ounce largemouth bass.

While Randy's accomplishments on the water are impressive, his greatest passion is sharing his faith and serving others. He is a national spokesman for King's Home, a Birmingham-based ministry that provides refuge, hope, and support for abused youth, women, and children facing domestic violence, neglect, abandonment, homelessness, and other difficult circumstances.

Together, Randy and Robin have helped raise more than $4.7 million for King's Home through their annual online boat giveaway. At the end of each Bassmaster season, Randy donates his tournament boat, and supporters can enter to win by making a $100 donation through King's Home.

The Howells also lead RnR Outdoors, a ministry that connects with outdoorsmen across the country. Through church services, outdoor events, and speaking engagements, Randy shares his personal testimony, stories from the water, and the faith that has guided him throughout his life and career.

Today is a little different as Jon shares a parable that he wrote to drive home a point that we are better off when we focus on faithfulness not significance. There are days when we all pursue something that isn't bad but at the same time sacrifice the best thing because of it. May we focus on faithfulness first. All the other stuff should come in second.

Today's guest is John David Taylor III, owner of Covey Point Outfitters in Goshen, Alabama. John David is a lifelong outdoorsman whose passion for hunting started as soon as he was old enough to carry a shotgun. Instead of waiting years to chase his dream, he jumped right in after graduating high school in 2021 and founded Covey Point Outfitters. Since then, he's been building a destination where hunters from across the country can experience first-class quail, pheasant, hog, deer, and other guided hunts while enjoying genuine Southern hospitality.

For John David, it's about much more than the hunt. He's passionate about creating lasting memories, building meaningful relationships with every guest who comes through the lodge, and sharing his faith by giving God the glory for every opportunity. At a young age, he's already turned a lifelong passion into a thriving family business, and today he's living out the dream he always knew was waiting for him in the outdoors.

I just got back from a 10 day vacation with my family in the mountains. We hiked. We kayaked. We fished. We swam. We watched sunsets. We star gazed. We sat in front of fires. All these things declared the goodness of our God. Creation itself declares God as creator!

Our guest today has lived a pretty incredible life and has quite a story to tell. He's a retired lieutenant from Texas law enforcement, spent time working as a private contractor supporting law enforcement, and these days he's living the life of a full-time working cowboy. On top of that, he's a husband, a father, a professional speaker, and an author.

Born and raised in Texas, Sam eventually retired and made the move to Colorado, where he's enjoying ranch life while still making time for RV adventures, riding motorcycles, and hiking whenever he can.

We actually came across Sam on Instagram, where he shares these honest, encouraging, and uplifting reels that really caught our attention. He's also working on a new book called The Broken Fence, and we're looking forward to hearing more about that today.

So, let's not waste any more time. Please help us welcome to the show, Mr. Sam West!

When Jesus says "Come to me all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest" He does so from a place of understanding as someone who experienced all the pain that comes with being fully human. He says, I get you. I see you. I love you.
