Lessons From A Treestand: Where Are Your Roots Planted?
There’s nothing quite like walking to your tree stand in the dark on a morning you’ve waited for all year. Every step matters. Every sound gets your attention. You settle in, bow ready, wondering what might step out as the rising sun slowly reveals the woods around you.This week on Unleashed, Brent Henderson returns to the Indiana woods for his first hunt back since heart surgery. A bow mishap nearly ends the trip before it starts, an owl gets a little too close for comfort, and a quiet morning eighteen feet up gives him something he’ll need when life hits back the following day.In Episode 171, “Lessons from a Tree Stand: Where Are Your Roots Planted?” Brent shares the anticipation, humor, and gratitude of getting back into the stand, along with a lesson that followed him home. Just as daylight reveals what we couldn’t see in the woods, God can reveal His presence and truth in our darkest moments when we seek Him.Whether you’re listening on the drive to deer camp or wishing you were in the woods, join Brent for a conversation about what holds us steady when disappointment knocks the wind out of us. Scripture: Jeremiah 17:7–8; Luke 6:43–45

Searching for Jesus: What If He Is Who He Says He Is?
Episode 170: Searching for Jesus: What If He Is Who He Says He Is?Some intriguing recent findings are drawing fresh attention to Jesus and the biblical accounts. Could they strengthen the case for Christianity and the historical reliability of Scripture?Brent explores these questions alongside personal stories, honest curiosity, and a deer-season comparison hunters will recognize: When evidence points to something we’ve been searching for, we decide whether to pursue it.What if Jesus really is who He says He is?That deserves a closer look. And if it’s true, the question becomes more than whether we find Him interesting: What are we going to do with Jesus?A conversation about searching honestly, examining what we believe, and the choice that comes with what we discover.Listen with your questions. Share it with someone who’s searching.

Carry It Forward: Your Story Was Never Meant To End With You
Episode 168: Carry It Forward — Your Story Was Never Meant to End With YouYour story matters—but it was never meant to end with you.In this episode of the Unleashed Podcast, Brent Henderson challenges men to recognize the story God has been writing through their lives, discover their purpose and identity in Christ, and carry their faith, wisdom, and legacy forward to the next generation.After speaking at a sportsman’s banquet, Brent realized the most meaningful part of the night wasn’t the laughter, the tears, or the applause. It was what happened afterward. Men stayed to share their struggles, their faith, their search for purpose, and what God was stirring in their hearts.Brent traces the men who helped shape his own story—from watching Wild Kingdom as a boy and meeting legendary bowhunter Fred Bear, to meeting his longtime friend Wade Nolan in Alaska in 1984. Years later, Brent can see how those men influenced his life without God ever calling him to become a copy of them.Using Ephesians 2:10, Brent reminds listeners that we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works He prepared in advance for us. Your greatest success doesn’t define you. Your greatest failure doesn’t define you. Jesus does.Brent also shares the deeply personal legacy he hopes to leave his son: a sword his son gave him that Brent wants placed in his casket someday—but removed before the casket closes and handed back to his son with one charge:Carry it well. And carry it forward.This episode is a challenge to fathers, sons, hunters, outdoorsmen, leaders, and men searching for purpose: stop comparing your story to someone else’s. Get alone with God. Write down your story. Find His fingerprints in the victories, failures, wounds, relationships, and redemption—and then ask who needs what God has taught you.Because an inheritance is something you leave for someone. A legacy is something you leave in someone.

The Way of the Wise Warrior
Episode 167 — The Way of the Wise WarriorWhat does it mean to become a Wise Warrior?In Episode 167 of Unleashed, Brent Henderson explores what happens when a man stops trying to prove his strength and begins using everything God has taught him to serve, lead, mentor, and leave a legacy in others.From watching legendary guitarist Dann Huff practice the fundamentals in a Nashville recording studio, to men whose lives have been changed through mentoring and discipleship, Brent examines why wisdom takes time—and why even our scars can become someone else’s roadmap.But the heart of this episode is deeply personal. Brent shares the final days of his father’s life, the difference between an inheritance and a legacy, and a childhood memory of jumping from the steps into his dad’s arms. Decades later, those same steps take on a very different meaning as he watches his father’s casket being carried away.“We never graduate from trust. The steps just get higher.”This is an episode about Christian manhood, fatherhood, faith, purpose, mentorship, aging well, finishing well, and trusting God with whatever part of the trail remains.Plus, Brent challenges men to stop waiting for the perfect circumstances to live the life God has given them:Pick up your sword. Trust your Father. And brother—let’s light this candle.Resources: The Big Five Man Killers and the free Facilitator’s Guide are available at WarnerPress.org.

GAME ON — Don’t Quit Before the Story Is Over
What happens when you think you’ve blown your opportunity?Brent watched a mature whitetail standing forty yards away and wrestled with whether to take the shot. He waited. He hesitated. And eventually, the opportunity walked away.He thought it was over.The next evening, Brent made one decision that changed everything: he showed up again.In Episode 166 of Unleashed, Brent shares the story behind a buck that still hangs on his wall today—and why that hunt has become a reminder of something much bigger than deer hunting.Sometimes relationships get wounded. Words are spoken. People are misunderstood. Pride gets involved, and what once mattered to us can begin to look beyond repair. Brent shares an unexpected update to the personal story he told last week and what happened when grace became more important than keeping score.Then he turns to Jesus’ story of two very different sons and the Father who loved them both. One son was lost in rebellion. The other was lost in self-righteousness. But the Father went after both of them because He wanted both of His boys at the party.Showing up doesn’t guarantee the outcome. You can’t control what someone else does with your apology, your forgiveness, or your outstretched hand. But as Romans 12:18 reminds us, “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.”Maybe you think you’ve already blown your chance.Maybe the story isn’t over.Don’t quit. Show up again. GAME ON.
