THE FIRST 40 — EPISODE 2
I am calling for 40 individuals to step out in faith and become part of the next group of Gospel Patrons called The First 40.
The First 40 helped make Episode 1 of GOD IN THE WILD possible. That episode is now complete and privately premiering in churches as we prepare for its public debut.
Now it’s time to get back into the field and film Episode 2—and once again, we need your help.
Each Gospel Patron will help provide the financial foundation needed to plan, film, edit, and produce Episode 2 of GOD IN THE WILD as we continue building toward a full first season.
I am asking each of The First 40 to contribute $3,000.
WHAT IS GOD IN THE WILD?
GOD IN THE WILD is an unscripted reality television series like none before it, because God is the hero of the story.
More than a wilderness survival show, this series is about what happens when someone steps away from the noise and distractions of everyday life and enters the wilderness to confront something deeper.
In each episode, I take one participant 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 potentially life-changing way.
The goal isn’t just physical survival. It’s soul revival.
Episode 1 proved that this vision can become something real. We watched the wilderness strip away distractions and create space for honest conversations about faith, pain, purpose, loss, and the things that can stand between us and God.
Now we’re ready to do it again with a new participant, a new wilderness, and a new story.
The wilderness becomes the backdrop for restoration—and the Gospel our true guide home.
Will our next participant answer the call?
EPISODE 1 WAS JUST THE BEGINNING
Episode 1 is finished. But it was never meant to be the finish line.
Right now, the first episode of GOD IN THE WILD is being privately premiered in churches before its eventual public release.
What began as an idea has become a finished episode.
Cameras went into the wilderness. A real story unfolded. The Gospel was shared. And the First 40 helped make it possible.
Now we go again.
Episode 2 will take a new participant into the wilderness to face both the elements and the deeper battles of the soul. And as this series grows, each new story gives us another opportunity to carry the Gospel beyond the walls of the church and onto screens 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 Episode 2 begins the same way Episode 1 did:
With 40 people willing to step out in faith and help send us back into the wild.
