| What Losing His Dad at 14 Taught Andrew Maxwell About Life | The Southern Outdoorsmen | 25 sept. 2026 | 01:02:46 | |
Andrew Maxwell has spent years talking with some of the best deer hunters in the country. But this conversation isn't primarily about killing mature bucks.It's about what actually matters when the hunt is over.In this episode of the Revive Outdoors Podcast, Taylor Philpot and Justin Grogan sit down with Andrew Maxwell of The Southern Outdoorsmen to talk about faith, losing his father at 14, marriage, fatherhood, hunting, grief, priorities and the man he's trying to become.Andrew shares how losing his dad changed his life and how the foundation his father built continued shaping him long after he was gone. He explains why the outdoors became a place where he could process grief, think, pray and spend time with God.We also talk about something hunters don't discuss enough: what happens when hunting becomes an idol.Andrew shares how marriage and fatherhood changed the way he approaches hunting, why some trips aren't worth taking, how he communicates with his wife before traveling, and why being present at home matters more than another deer on the wall.We discuss:• Losing a father at 14• Processing grief through faith• Why the woods aren't your church• Why men need quiet time with God• Reading and studying the Bible for yourself• Christian community and accountability• Balancing hunting, marriage and fatherhood• When hunting becomes an idol• Knowing when to skip a hunting trip• Bringing your wife and children outdoors• Building a foundation your children can carry after you're gone• The Great Commission• The hope of Heaven• What it means to put your faith in JesusAndrew also explains how The Southern Outdoorsmen grew while he learned to protect his family from the demands of travel, hunting and running a business.If hunting is important to you, this conversation asks a harder question:Is it in the right place in your life?The deer won't be standing around your hospital bed one day. Your family might be.Put God first. Love your family. Enjoy hunting for what it is.CONNECT WITH REVIVE OUTDOORSWebsite & Store:https://www.reviveoutdoors.orgMain YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@reviveoutdoors4himRevive Outdoors Podcast:https://www.youtube.com/@ReviveOutdoorsPodcastRevive Outdoors Academy:https://www.youtube.com/@ReviveOutdoorsAcademyFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/reviveoutdoorsInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/reviveoutdoorsTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@reviveoutdoorsSpotify Podcast:https://open.spotify.com/show/4v13TKsfW80m0pgmsIV89CMaking a Positive & Eternal Impact through Conservation. | |||
| MICHAEL PERRY: THE STORY BEHIND THE HUNTING LEGEND | 18 sept. 2026 | 00:53:55 | |
You probably know Michael Perry for giant public-land whitetails. But there's another side of his story that rarely gets told.Michael Perry has spent decades hunting some of Alabama's toughest public land. He's killed record-book bucks, including a massive Alabama public-land muzzleloader buck, written a book about hunting mature bucks on public land, and helped countless hunters become better woodsmen.But this episode isn't about how to kill a mature buck.On this episode of the Revive Outdoors Podcast, Taylor Philpot and Justin Grogan sit down with Michael to talk about faith, family, fatherhood, church hurt, marriage, hardship and the legacy a man leaves behind.Michael opens up about parts of his life he doesn't normally talk about.He shares what it was like growing up without the support he wanted from his father, leaving home at 17 to join the Navy, serving aboard an aircraft carrier, losing a child, going through divorce and experiencing painful situations inside the church.He also shares the story of meeting his wife Kathy and how their marriage, faith and shared love for the outdoors shaped the life they have today.We talk about:• Michael's childhood and relationship with his father• Leaving home at 17 and joining the Navy• Military service and life aboard an aircraft carrier• Losing a child and going through divorce• Michael and Kathy's marriage• Church hurt and separating people's failures from God• Finding peace outdoors• Seeing God's creation through hunting and fishing• Raising a son differently than you were raised• Becoming the father you didn't have• Free will, mistakes and God's direction• What sin actually does to your life• Fatherhood and becoming a grandfather• Passing faith to the next generation• The Perry family legacy• Why your hunting accomplishments eventually won't matter• Michael's influence on younger hunters• Using hunting to serve other people• The body of Christ working together• What it means to leave an eternal legacyMichael has spent a lifetime learning how to pursue mature whitetails. His 2021 public-land muzzleloader buck grossed 196 3/8 inches, and his public-land hunting success has been documented across the hunting industry.But that's not what makes this conversation important.At some point, the deer on the wall won't matter.The people you impacted will.Near the end of this episode, we pray specifically for anyone who knows about God but has never placed their faith in Jesus.If that's you, reach out to us.If you need a Bible, help figuring out where to start reading, a church, or simply another believer to talk with, we'd love to help.CONNECT WITH REVIVE OUTDOORSWebsite & Store:https://www.reviveoutdoors.orgMain YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@reviveoutdoors4himRevive Outdoors Podcast:https://www.youtube.com/@ReviveOutdoorsPodcastRevive Outdoors Academy:https://www.youtube.com/@ReviveOutdoorsAcademyFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/reviveoutdoorsInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/reviveoutdoorsTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@reviveoutdoorsSpotify Podcast:https://open.spotify.com/show/4v13TKsfW80m0pgmsIV89CMaking a Positive & Eternal Impact through Conservation. | |||
| THE AMBULANCE RIDE THAT CHANGED HIS LIFE | DANIEL WILLIAMS from THE CEDAR RIDGE CHRONICLES | 11 sept. 2026 | 01:06:21 | |
He was told there was a good chance he wouldn't survive the ambulance ride to the hospital. What happened next changed everything.In this episode of the Revive Outdoors Podcast, Taylor Philpot and Justin Grogan sit down with taxidermist, hunter, author, and content creator Daniel Williams of The Cedar Ridge Chronicles.Daniel spent years working constantly, building his taxidermy business, processing hundreds of deer, making money, and trying to prove himself.God had almost completely disappeared from his daily life.Then, at 40 years old, Daniel's heart began fluttering while riding a stationary bike.Doctors found a massive aortic aneurysm and a 9-centimeter aortic dissection. He needed emergency open-heart surgery, and doctors told Daniel and his wife there was a real chance he wouldn't survive the trip to UAB.During that ambulance ride, Daniel wasn't thinking about money, work, or everything he had accomplished.He was thinking about everything he had missed.After a 10½-hour surgery, Daniel woke up with a second chance.But surviving wasn't the end of his story.Daniel shares how recovery led him into the woods, where slowing down eventually brought him face-to-face with the condition of his own heart and his need for Jesus.Daniel's story raises a question worth asking:If you were told today might be your last day, would you be at peace with the life you've lived and where you're going next?Near the end of this episode, we pray specifically for anyone who feels far from God or realizes they need a relationship with Jesus.If that's you, don't walk through it alone.Reach out to us. We'd love to help you take your next step, get you a Bible, and connect you with people who will walk alongside you.CONNECT WITH REVIVE OUTDOORSWebsite & Store:https://www.reviveoutdoors.orgMain YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@reviveoutdoors4himRevive Outdoors Podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@ReviveOutdoorsPodcastRevive Outdoors Academy:https://www.youtube.com/@ReviveOutdoorsAcademyFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/reviveoutdoorsInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/reviveoutdoorsTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@reviveoutdoorsSpotify Podcast:https://open.spotify.com/show/4v13TKsfW80m0pgmsIV89CMaking a Positive & Eternal Impact through Conservation. | |||
| Why Your Deer Hunting Strategy HAS to Change | 04 sept. 2026 | 01:03:39 | |
Deer hunting changes throughout the season, and your strategy has to change with it. Life isn't much different.In this episode of the Revive Outdoors Podcast, Taylor Philpot sits down with Dakota to talk about the different seasons we experience as hunters, husbands, fathers, and Christian men.We start with life.Dakota shares his transition from college and single life into marriage, fatherhood, faith, and learning that each new season requires different priorities.Then the conversation gets personal.Dakota shares the story of his newborn son Denver becoming seriously ill, experiencing seizures, being admitted to the hospital, and the uncertainty their family faced about his future. He talks about what it felt like to be a medical professional suddenly sitting on the other side of the hospital bed and how prayer, Christian community, family, and faith carried them through that season.Today, Denver is thriving.We also talk about grief, marriage, fatherhood, serving others, finding Christian community, and why you weren't designed to walk through difficult seasons alone.Then we take the same principle into the deer woods.Taylor breaks down the major phases of whitetail season and explains how mature buck behavior changes through:• Preseason• Early season• Pre-rut• Primary rut• Secondary rut• Late seasonYou'll learn why early-season bucks can become highly predictable, what changes when bucks transition from velvet to hard antler, why cold fronts can increase pre-rut opportunities, how mature bucks expand their range, and why historical trail-camera data can become one of your best tools during the rut.Taylor also explains why the full rut isn't always the best time to target one specific mature buck, why secondary-rut bucks can show up miles from their normal range, and why late season can create another highly predictable bed-to-feed pattern.We finish with practical early-season hunting strategy for Alabama, using multiple trail cameras to identify a mature buck's travel direction, hunting edge winds, locating bedding without blowing the area out, and using real deer scent in mock scrapes throughout the year.Alabama's current 2026-27 regulations also show why location matters when discussing "early season." Zones D and E open for archery October 1, while Zones A, B and C open October 15. Always check the regulations for the zone and property you're hunting.If you're going through a difficult season right now, remember this: the season will change. Stay close to God, stay connected to people, and keep moving forward.CONNECT WITH REVIVE OUTDOORSWebsite & Store:https://www.reviveoutdoors.orgYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@reviveoutdoors4himRevive Outdoors Podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@ReviveOutdoorsPodcastRevive Outdoors Academy:https://www.youtube.com/@ReviveOutdoorsAcademyFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/reviveoutdoorsInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/reviveoutdoorsTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@reviveoutdoorsSpotify Podcast:https://open.spotify.com/show/4v13TKsfW80m0pgmsIV89CMaking a Positive & Eternal Impact through Conservation. | |||
| WHY COMFORTABLE CHRISTIANS STOP GROWING + HOG HUNTS & ELECTRIC DIRT BIKES! | 30 août 2026 | 00:45:15 | |
Are you all in with God, or have you gotten comfortable standing near the shore?In this episode of the Revive Outdoors Podcast, Taylor Philpot and Jad Buchanan use a simple river analogy to challenge you to evaluate where you are in your relationship with God.Are you standing on the bank watching?Are you ankle-deep, close enough to feel something but unwilling to commit?Are you waist-deep, feeling God pull you forward while you fight the current?Or have you gone all in, taken your feet off the bottom, and trusted God with where He takes you?We talk about why comfort can become dangerous, how pride quietly pulls us away from God, why difficult seasons can deepen our faith, and what it looks like to live with humility instead of constantly making life about ourselves.Taylor also shares the story of how Revive Outdoors opened its retail store and how prayer, timing, other people, and circumstances helped provide clarity when the next step wasn't obvious.Then things take a completely different turn.Taylor and his family recently visited Jad's Alabama hunting club, brought out the thermal gear after dark, and found themselves surrounded by hogs.We break down the chaos of their first night thermal hog hunting together, Jad's first experience looking through thermal optics, a side-by-side encounter with a hog, Taylor testing Jad's new electric dirt bike, fishing with the kids, and a weekend that reminded them why sharing the outdoors with other people matters.In this episode:Where are you in your relationship with God?The river analogy for faithWhy comfort can stop spiritual growthTrusting God when you can't see what's aheadWhy humility mattersPride in hunting and everyday lifeThe danger of making everything about "me"How God develops you before giving you the next assignmentPractical steps for growing your faithFinding a church that challenges youWhy Christian men need a small groupServing other people with your giftsThermal hog hunting in AlabamaJad's first thermal hog huntA wild nighttime hog encounterTesting a high-powered electric dirt bikeFamily, hunting, fishing and fellowshipWhat's coming as deer season approachesThe 2026 Revive Outdoors Squirrel TournamentThe challenge is simple: evaluate where you are, then take a step deeper.You don't have to have everything figured out.

| How to Hunt Squirrels: Tactics Most Hunters Never Learn | 21 août 2026 | 01:00:21 | |
Squirrel hunting is where generations of hunters learned woodsmanship, marksmanship and how to read the woods. But consistently finding and killing squirrels takes a lot more strategy than simply walking through hardwoods with a .22.In this episode of the Revive Outdoors Podcast, Taylor sits down with Jason Wilson and Shane to break down squirrel hunting from start to finish.Jason has spent roughly 50 years hunting and started chasing squirrels with an old Benjamin pellet rifle. Shane's first hunting experiences also came from squirrel hunting with his dad. Together, they break down what decades in the woods have taught them.Tournament Registration here: https://reviveoutdoors.org/products/squirrel-tournament-sign-upWe cover:How to find squirrels throughout the seasonStill hunting vs. spot-and-stalk squirrel huntingHunting squirrels with dogs.22 rimfire vs. shotgun vs. pellet rifleEarly-season squirrel hunting tacticsShagbark hickories, white oaks and other food sourcesWhy creek bottoms can hold squirrelsGray squirrel vs. fox squirrel habitatHow slowly you should move through the woodsUsing binoculars to locate squirrelsHow long to sit after shooting a squirrelHow much property you actually needPre-scouting for squirrel huntingUsing squirrel hunting for postseason deer scoutingTournament strategySquirrel hunting stories from childhoodFavorite ways to cook squirrelThe upcoming Revive Outdoors Squirrel Hunting TournamentOne of the biggest takeaways is simple: slow down.Experienced squirrel hunters aren't randomly covering hundreds of acres. They're identifying productive food trees, moving short distances, stopping, listening and allowing the woods to settle.Squirrel hunting can also make you a better deer hunter. You learn to identify food sources, recognize animal movement, improve your shooting and pay attention to details most people walk past.REVIVE OUTDOORS SQUIRREL HUNTING TOURNAMENT📅 September 26📍 Trussville, Alabama💰 $100 per team🐿️ $50 Big Squirrel Pot👦 Youth hunt FREE🏆 Shotgun, Rimfire & Youth Divisions🦌 Big Squirrel winner receives a custom taxidermy mounthttps://reviveoutdoors.org/products/squirrel-tournament-sign-upTeam captain meeting: September 25 at 7:00 PM.Proceeds support the ministry and mission of Revive Outdoors.Revive Outdoors exists to make a positive and eternal impact through conservation through outdoor education, mentorship, events and fellowship.SHOP & SUPPORT REVIVE OUTDOORSCONNECT WITH REVIVE OUTDOORS🌐 Website & Storewww.reviveoutdoors.org🎥 Revive Outdoors YouTubewww.youtube.com/@reviveoutdoors4him🎙️ Revive Outdoors Podcastwww.youtube.com/@ReviveOutdoorsPodcast📚 Revive Outdoors Academywww.youtube.com/@ReviveOutdoorsAcademy📸 Instagramwww.instagram.com/reviveoutdoors📘 Facebookwww.facebook.com/reviveoutdoors🎵 TikTokwww.tiktok.com/@reviveoutdoorsMaking a Positive & Eternal Impact through ConservationRevive Outdoors📍 6370 S Chalkville RoadTrussville, AL 35173 | |||
| YOU ARE CAPABLE OF MORE | Motivation | 14 août 2026 | 00:55:37 | |
You are capable of more than you think. The question is, what is keeping you from becoming the person God created you to be? In this motivational episode of the Revive Outdoors Podcast, Taylor Philpot challenges you to stop allowing fear, failure, insecurity, comparison, and your past to determine what happens next in your life. You may feel stuck. You may believe you have already reached your limits. You may look at someone else’s success and assume they have something you don’t. But your current circumstances don’t have to define your future. This episode is about recognizing the potential God has given you, developing discipline, taking action, and refusing to quit when life gets difficult. We talk about: * Believing you are capable of more * Finding your God-given purpose * Overcoming fear and self doubt * Building discipline when motivation disappears * Breaking through limiting beliefs * Getting comfortable being uncomfortable * Learning from failure * Taking responsibility for your future * Becoming a stronger husband, father, and leader * Staying consistent when progress feels slow * Trusting God’s plan for your life * Taking the next step instead of waiting for perfect conditions You don’t need to have everything figured out today. You need to stop letting fear convince you that you can’t become the person you’re called to become. You are capable of more.

| Does Expensive Hunting Gear Actually Kill More Deer? | 14 août 2026 | 01:01:36 | |
Does expensive hunting gear actually help you kill more deer, or are hunters buying equipment they do not need? In this episode of the Revive Outdoors Podcast, Taylor Philpot and Shane break down their deer hunting gear setups and explain what they carry, what they leave behind, and how they choose equipment for different hunting situations. The episode also connects hunting gear to the story of David and Goliath. Some situations call for a minimalist setup. Other seasons require you to put on the full armor of God and keep moving through hardship. This episode will help you evaluate your current setup before deer season and decide what equipment will actually make you safer, more mobile, and more effective.

| Mock Scrapes Explained: Everything You Need To Know | 22 juin 2026 | 00:58:37 | |

| Opening Day Turkey Hunting Tactics | How to Target Gobblers on Day One with Tim the Turkey Man | 14 mars 2026 | 01:44:20 | |
Opening day turkey hunting tactics can make or break your season. In this episode from Revive Outdoors, we break down how to target gobblers on opening day and avoid the common mistakes that push birds off your property before the season really gets started. Early season turkeys often behave differently than they will later in the spring. Birds are still grouped up, hunting pressure is low, and gobblers are focused on hens. Knowing how to approach roost setups, calling strategies, and positioning can put you in range of a mature longbeard on day one. In this video, we share practical opening day turkey hunting tactics you can apply on both public land and private land. These strategies come from real hunts and years of chasing Eastern turkeys across the Southeast. In This Episode How to locate gobblers before opening morning Roosting strategies the night before the hunt Where to set up when turkeys fly down Calling strategies that work on pressured birds How to use terrain to get close without being seen What to do when hens pull the gobbler away Why Opening Day Matters Opening morning is often the best chance you will have all season to tag a gobbler.
