Some rivers are wide. Some are fast.

Then there's one that looks so harmless you could almost step across it...

...yet nobody who has fallen into it has ever survived.

This week on the Casting Faith Podcast, we're diving into the terrifying story of the Bolton Strid, along with giant mosquitoes, floating cities, Florida Man vs. Ohio Man, and how one of the deadliest places on Earth points us to a powerful biblical truth.

If you enjoy weird history, true stories, clean comedy, the outdoors, and biblical encouragement, you're in the right place.

Were churches quietly warned about disclosure?Yeah… this episode gets weird.Charlie, David, and first-time guest Craig dive into one of the strangest conversations we’ve had yet: reports of pastors allegedly being briefed that churches may not be ready for what could be coming, what Christians would even say if society suddenly had hard questions, and whether faith actually has an answer for the unexplained.But somewhere in the middle of this conversation… things take a turn.Because Charlie and David revisit one of the weirdest nights they’ve ever experienced: a late-night camping trip on Mogadore Reservoir, strange lights in the tree line, sounds they still can’t explain, and a story they haven’t fully unpacked in years.We’re not claiming answers.We’re asking real questions.Could disclosure shake people’s faith? Would Christians actually have a response? And what happens when something weird happens to *you*?This one got weird fast.👇 SUPPORT THE SHOW 👇🏠 Heritage RoofingProtecting homes with integrity.https://roofsbyheritage.com/🎣 Great Lakes Fishing ExpoJoin us at one of the best fishing expos in the Midwest.https://www.greatlakesfishingexpo.com/☕ Backbone CoffeeThe coffee we actually drink at home.

He brought a sword into World War II… and somehow that was only the beginning.

This week on The Casting Faith Podcast, Charlie and David are joined by first-time guest Christian Bulgrin for an episode full of weird history, brotherhood chaos, summer memories, and some of the funniest storytelling we’ve had in a while.

It starts with one of the wildest true stories we’ve ever covered: a real WWII soldier who literally brought a sword, longbow, and bagpipes into battle. Somehow… it only gets weirder from there.

From airsoft wars in the woods and creepy summer camp memories to Florida Man vs Ohio Man and meaningful conversations about fatherhood, friendship, and faith — this episode somehow turns hilarious, nostalgic, and unexpectedly encouraging all at once.

⚔️ If you love weird-but-true history, good friends, faith, and absolute chaos — this one’s for you.

What if the smallest things in life quietly changed everything?

Napoleon may have lost an empire because of missing nails. A ship can drift hundreds of miles off course from being just one degree off.

So what happens when grief, pain, disappointment, or life itself starts pulling you off course?

In this deeply personal episode, Charlie, David, and returning guest Jason LaBar talk honestly about grief, loss, healing, and how God carries us through the hardest seasons of life. From weird history to real testimony, this episode is about learning how to heal without drifting from purpose.

🙏 If you’re walking through loss, pain, disappointment, or just trying to stay grounded in life — this one is for you.
