The Outdoorsman's Mandate

Author: Joshua Parvin

On The Outdoorsman's Mandate podcast, we will discuss our passion for the outdoors and share experiences that we have had in hopes of encouraging and inspiring listeners to get more out of life in all areas. For many, the lessons learned in the outdoors have completely shaped the way life is viewed. The idea of the "Outdoorsman's Mandate" is centered around the idea of taking a step. Everyone is somewhere on their journey, and the only way forward is to take a simple step. With that said, it goes even deeper than taking a step. The Mandate of an Outdoorsman is to find their purpose in life and make a difference. There is only one place to find purpose... so listen to the show and find out.

Episode 8
Thursday, 18 September, 2025

In this episode of the Outdoorsman’s Mandate, Josh welcomes his longtime friend Cody to share an incredible journey of faith, friendship, and the outdoors. Cody grew up in church but drifted away, searching for meaning and answers. It wasn’t until marriage, training his first retriever, and discovering a passion for duck hunting that his path began to shift. After listening to this very podcast, Cody felt a gentle tug to reconnect with God—and everything changed.Together, Josh and Cody talk about the beauty of creation, how the outdoors often stirs deeper questions, and how a nonjudgmental conversation can open the door to a life of faith. Whether you’re a hunter, dog trainer, or simply searching for something more, this episode is a powerful reminder that God meets us right where we are.
