I am calling for 40 individuals to step out in faith and become part of a founding group of Gospel Patrons called The First 40.
Each Gospel Patron will help provide the financial foundation to produce and distribute the pilot episode of GOD IN THE WILD — positioning it for a full first season on network and streaming platforms.
I am asking each of The First 40 to contribute $3,000.
GOD IN THE WILD is an unscripted reality television series like none before it. More than a wilderness survival show, this pilot episode is a powerful spiritual journey. I take one participant who has drifted from their faith deep into the wild—not just to survive the elements by finding shelter, water, fire, and food—but to encounter the presence of God in a raw, unfiltered, and life-changing way.
The goal isn’t just physical survival. It’s soul revival.
In this profound, documentary-style pilot, viewers will witness one person’s fight to reconnect with the Lord. They’ll cheer, cry, relate, and be encouraged as this real individual confronts what’s standing in the way of God’s plan and purpose for their life. The wilderness becomes the backdrop for restoration—and the Gospel the true guide home.
The pilot is just the beginning. With your help, we will use this powerful first episode to launch a global crowdfunding campaign—fueling the production of a six-episode first season of GOD IN THE WILD.
Each episode will take a new participant into the wilderness to face both the elements and the deeper battles of the soul. These raw and redemptive journeys will reach far beyond survival—they will carry the Gospel to screens and hearts around the world.
Imagine millions of viewers, across nations and cultures, encountering the life-changing truth of Jesus Christ through the backdrop of wilderness adventure. This is where entertainment becomes eternal impact.
And it all starts with The First 40. Your investment doesn’t just make a pilot possible—it sets the stage for a movement. The season ahead will proclaim the Gospel with cinematic excellence, global reach, and the power to transform lives for generations.
Join the First 40
We are asking each of The First 40 to contribute $3,000.
In addition to being a part of a founding group of Gospel patrons, each member of The First 40 will receive:
A hand-crafted, numbered leather-bound Bible and my survival knife, identical to those presented to each cast member during and at the end of their journey. Each leather Bible will be laser-engraved with the show title and THE FIRST 40: NO. ___, numbered in order of contributions. (These are all custom made and will be delivered in 2-3 months.)
An invitation (for you and your family) to an exclusive pre-screening of the GOD IN THE WILD pilot episode in Indianapolis, Indiana in Early 2026.
“FIRST 40” name recognition in the episode credits, honoring your foundational support of the project.
The opportunity to partner in a Gospel-driven project that has the potential to impact lives and echo in eternity—reaching an audience that may never set foot in a church but will encounter the love of Jesus through a format they already engage with.
