In Creation Podcast

In Episode 33 of the In Creation Podcast, Ryker, Alex, Spencer Rivera (the third brother), and Luke Willoughby go live on YouTube from deer camp to give an update on how the week has been unfolding. Warm weather has made things tricky—mornings in the mid‑30s have been great, but afternoon temps pushing 70 degrees have slowed deer movement across the board.

Even with the conditions, camp kicked off strong. Alex tagged a doe early, and Ryker punched his tag on a solid 8‑point buck just hours before the live recording. Luke and Spencer are still grinding with a day and a half left, hoping to fill a tag before camp wraps up.

The guys break down each hunt, share stories from the week, and Luke tells a wild encounter he had with another hunter that adds some unexpected drama to camp. Overall, the crew is soaking up every minute—late‑night laughs, warm fires, and the tradition of being together in the woods.

Pull up a chair by the fire and enjoy the stories from deer camp.

In Episode 32 of the In Creation Podcast, Ryker and Alex sit down with Jake and Trevor from Toulou Broadheads to unpack the story behind their innovative broadhead design. They share how Toulou began as a simple idea, a rough sketch, and a 3D printer—and how that grew into their single‑bevel, one‑piece broadhead with a built‑in helical that now stands out in the hunting world.

Jake and Trevor walk through the early prototypes, the trial‑and‑error process, and the small breakthroughs that pushed them forward. Their journey highlights passion, persistence, and a deep love for the hunting heritage they hope to pass down to future generations.

They also talk openly about how faith has shaped Toulou from day one. Acknowledging that the Creation we enjoy has a Creator, they share how God has guided their steps and given them a platform to point others to Christ through their work and their brand.

This episode blends innovation, tradition, and testimony—offering hunters a behind‑the‑scenes look at Toulou Broadheads and the faith that fuels their mission.

In Episode 31 of the In Creation Podcast, Ryker and Alex sit down to talk through their goals for the upcoming deer season. Ryker shares that he isn’t focused on chasing inches of antler this year. His aim is to harvest a deer early, stay mentally locked‑in, and make sure every sit puts him “in the game.” He wants to set himself up for success on each hunt and walk away with confidence—no second‑guessing his spots, no frustration, just a good attitude and intentional preparation.

Alex’s goals line up similarly. He wants to take a doe early to get that “red zone rep” before bucks start moving hard in late October and early November. Most of his energy is aimed at their northern Michigan deer camp. After heavy e‑scouting, his mission is simple: be in deer every sit and finally tag a northern Michigan buck.

From there, the conversation shifts to the Gospel as they discuss Final Judgment. They emphasize that God ultimately judges one thing—whether you have put your faith in His Son, Jesus Christ. Acts 17:31 says, “For he has set a day for judging the world with justice by the man he has appointed, and he proved to everyone who this is by raising him from the dead.”

They talk about how easy it is to assume we have plenty of time to make that decision, but the truth is we don’t know when our final day on earth will come. The debt has already been paid through the blood of Christ on the cross, and the invitation into His kingdom is open to anyone who believes. But God does not force you—you have the choice.

In Episode 30 of the In Creation Podcast, Ryker and Alex welcome two very special guests—their wives. With hunting season approaching, they dive into the idea of “The Hunting Widow,” a phrase used to describe the wife of a dedicated hunter during the long months spent in the woods.

Together, they talk honestly about how to pursue a successful hunting season while still showing up well at home—as husbands, fathers, and partners. The wives share practical advice, expectations, and encouragement for married hunters who want to balance their passion for the outdoors with their responsibilities at home.

The conversation also branches into fun territory, including favorite wild‑game meals, go‑to recipes, and a lighthearted trivia segment to wrap things up.

Overall, this episode is a relatable, enjoyable, and helpful guide for hunters preparing to manage their time in the woods without losing sight of what matters most at home.

In Episode 29 of the In Creation Podcast, Ryker and Alex break down what’s in their packs for deer season. They walk through the gear they consider essential in the woods and compare what each of them runs.

Alex goes full gear‑junkie mode with his Latitude Outdoors saddle setup—the Lone Star saddle, SS carbon sticks, the Profile Platform, and the new Flyer pack. He pairs it with a T&K bino harness carrying 10x42 Vortex Diamondback binoculars, keeps Dude Wipes instead of toilet paper, and always packs his Pack Rack. And of course, Alex earns his title as the snack king with his go‑to treat: Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes.

Ryker keeps things more budget‑friendly with his TideWe pack, SS carbon sticks, and the Method 2 saddle. His platform of choice is the Cruzer Mini Seeker, and he never heads into the woods without a Black Rack and a buck call from Full Throttle Game Calls.

From gear talk, the conversation shifts to worship—sparked by a line from the song Christ Be Magnified about creation proclaiming God as Creator. As hunters, Ryker and Alex reflect on how the woods themselves testify to God’s glory. They talk about those moments when the woods “wake up,” reminding us of what Romans 1:20 declares: God’s eternal power and divine nature are clearly seen through everything He has made. Creation itself points to the Creator.

In Episode 28, Ryker and Alex dive into a hot topic in Michigan’s hunting community: Should the Michigan Youth Deer Season be antlerless only? The guys break down the growing concern around doe overpopulation across the state, how it affects herd balance, and what future regulation changes would align with the youth season being antlerless only. After weighing the biological impact, hunter recruitment, and long‑term conservation goals, they land on a clear conclusion: Michigan’s youth season would benefit from being antlerless only.

From there, the conversation shifts into something deeper—What is worship? Too often, we limit worship to singing songs on a Sunday morning, but Ryker and Alex explore how Scripture paints a much broader picture. Worship isn’t confined to a church service; it’s meant to permeate every part of our lives. As 1 Corinthians 10:31 reminds us, “So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” The guys unpack what that looks like in daily rhythms, in the outdoors, and in the way we carry ourselves as believers.
