If church walls ever felt too small for the God you know—this one’s for you. I’m SaraJane, an ordained minister and lifelong outdoorswoman, and in this episode, we unpack why the woods, water, and wide-open skies feel like home for our souls.

Through five wilderness encounters in Scripture—Moses (calling & people), Hagar (direction & promise), Elijah (rest & boundaries), Jesus (testing & launch), and John the Baptist (clarity & purpose)—you’ll learn simple ways to meet God right where you hunt, fish, hike, or sit on the back porch at sunrise.

What you’ll get:

• A practical, non-denominational guide to encountering God in nature

• How to turn early mornings afield into true quiet time

• Why that “gut feeling” on a hunt is more than adrenaline

• A closing prayer to carry into your next dawn patrol—even if you don’t punch a tag

For: women who love the outdoors (and the men cheering them on), mentors bringing first-timers to the stand, and anyone craving a real relationship with God—beyond the concrete walls.

Stepping back into church after hurt isn’t easy — but God’s been showing me how gratitude changes everything. From finding a humble, Bible-rooted community to seeing His glory in the deer stand, this season is all about slowing down, listening, and giving thanks.

If you’ve wrestled with church hurt, longed for real community, or just need a reminder to pause in gratitude, this one’s for you.

SaraJane kicks off with an unfiltered unboxing of some Orvis upland gear (plus a surprise for Bear), but quickly pivots from practical vests to powerful truth. In this episode, she walks through 1 Peter 1:3–9 and unpacks the spiritual “gear” God gives us—new birth, living hope, and divine authority.

Whether you’re walking a literal field or a season of trials, SJ breaks down why your faith is worth more than gold, how your words create legal contracts in the spiritual realm, and what it means to stop living like prey and start moving like a predator in the Spirit. Raw, rich, and real—this is Bible study with bite.

What if walking with God didn’t look clean, polished, and perfect — but messy, beautiful, and completely real?
In this episode, SaraJane sits down with her friend Delanna Jesse to talk about her journey from growing up in church… to truly meeting Jesus for the first time.
They dive into:
• What it really looks like to walk with the Holy Spirit (spoiler: it’s not always neat)
• How Delanna wrestled with doubt even after getting baptized
• The powerful night that changed her relationship with God forever
• Why fasting, waiting, and patience often come before the breakthrough
• What encountering God’s presence actually feels like (hint: it’s not always what you expect)
If you’ve ever wondered if you’re “doing it wrong” because your journey with God feels hard or confusing — this one’s for you. You’re not alone, and you’re closer than you think.

In this Private Land bonus episode, we crack open a book you probably won’t hear quoted much in church: Nehemiah.
Leadership isn’t about titles or positions — it’s about building what matters next to the people God has placed beside you. We’re digging into chapter 3 of Nehemiah to unpack how true biblical leadership is less about control and more about alignment, collaboration, and humility.
From understanding the historical and cultural context, to looking at why reading Scripture in its original languages matters, we’ll explore what it really means to be a Spirit-led leader — one stone, one conversation, one connection at a time.
Bring your Bible (and your highlighters!) — this is a campfire conversation for anyone who feels called to lead with authenticity and purpose.

What if your ministry isn’t inside a church building — but right where you are, at work, at home, and everywhere in between?
