  • Summary

  • Embark on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening with us, Owen Caudill and Derek McCoy, as we traverse the complex terrain of identity, faith, and finding one's true purpose. Our inaugural episode of Out of the Wilderness Ministries takes you through the heart of what it means to emerge from the shadows of confusion and into the light of Christ's love. We tackle the universal struggle for self-worth, sharing my personal anecdote on how a passion for turkey hunting and the unexpected turns as a state trooper led to profound insights about who we truly are beyond our earthly roles.

    Witness the raw and compelling narrative of a young athlete's quest for love and acceptance through the lens of sports, and how this obsession often overshadows the nurturing of the soul. The conversation navigates through the treacherous waters of identity crises, from athletic trauma to the broader societal concerns of self-image. Our Host Owen, a former athlete whose dreams were nearly crushed by injury, lays bare the emotional whirlwind of losing one's place in the world, and the journey back to solid ground through faith and personal growth.

    The episode culminates in a powerful testament to the redemptive nature of Christ's message. Owen shares his life-altering realization of the gospel's grace during the darkest times—a back injury that stripped away my former identity as a football player but paved the way to a deeper understanding and purpose in life. Through personal stories and scriptural epiphanies, we invite you to explore the transformative power of the Word and how, even in solitude, one can encounter the boundless love of God. Join us in this profound exploration of faith, where every step out of the wilderness brings us closer to our true calling.
