If God has the power to fix every broken thing in a single instant, why did Jesus have to endure the cross? This week on To the Stand, we unpack the depth of God's justice, love, and sacrifice—and why there are no shortcuts to true redemption.

We hope you're enjoying this special time of year. Get out in the woods, breathe the fresh air, and spend some intentional time in His Word this week.

This week we are right in the thick of it—doe hunting in the rut!

That’s right. This week, we aren't giving any advice on how to kill your target buck. Instead, we’re encouraging all you Michigan folks to get out there and shoot a doe! If she happens to be in estrus and steps out in front of you, even better.

In all seriousness, we’re using this wonderful time of year to sit down, recap where we’ve been, talk about what we’ve been up to in the timber, and reveal WHAT WE HAVE COMING next.

Plus, we’re giving back in a big way. The Doe Patrol trailer is officially parked at Packer Maxx in Michigan for all you successful hunters this week!

Donate the deer, feed the hungry, have some fun, and most of all, God bless.

In this episode of Everland Outdoors: To the Stand, we pull back from the noise of the day to focus on something foundational to every season of life and every quiet moment in the woods—the power of prayer.

Sitting out under the evening sky gives us a unique opportunity to slow down and truly examine how we communicate with God. We dive into scripture and real-life experiences to unpack how God actually teaches us to pray, shifting our approach from a checklist of demands to an intentional, heart-centered conversation. We’ll discuss what we can realistically expect when we step into prayer, how to navigate periods of feeling unanswered, and the different, often unexpected ways God responds—whether through a clear "yes," a protective "no," or the transformative patience of "wait."

Whether you’re winding down after a long day in the field or listening on your commute home, join us for a grounded, encouraging conversation on faith, active waiting, and building a deeper relationship with the Creator.

One of our favorite and well-known guests, Jake Ehlinger from Habitat 360, is back to talk success, strategy, heartbreak, and trail camera use!In this episode, Jake explains why he went into his hunt KNOWING he was going to be successful hunting over his food plot—without ever even running a trail camera in that plot. We also cover the widespread outbreak of EHD in Michigan and ask the questions everyone is asking: What is our state going to do about it?!It's always a knowledge-based conversation with Jake, so listen carefully, enjoy, and God bless!0:00 - Welcome Back Jake Ehlinger (Habitat 360)02:15 - Success, Strategy, and Heartbreak10:40 - Hunting a Food Plot WITHOUT Trail Cameras25:15 - The Widespread Spread of EHD in Michigan38:00 - What Is Our State Going to Do About EHD?Have you seen EHD impacting deer in your area this season?

In this week’s episode of To the Stand, we dive into a powerful conversation: What does it truly mean to think of God as our Father?

How does shifting our view of God from a distant judge to a loving, present Father change the way we live, trust, and walk out our faith? Join us as we explore the heart of God's fatherly love for us.

"I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me."— John 17:23

Tune in next week for an impactful episode on "The Power of Prayer."

Getting a mature buck on your first out-of-state trip usually comes down to putting in the work and making good, practical calls in the field.On this episode of the Everland Outdoors podcast, Adam Lewis from Deer IQ joins the show to talk about his recent trip down to Ohio and what went into making it a successful hunt. Adam breaks down how he approached the state for the first time, how he went about knocking on doors and getting access to hunting properties, and the simple strategic adjustments that paid off once he got there.Whether you are planning your first trip out of state or just looking for straightforward advice to help wrap your tag around a buck this season, Adam shares down-to-earth insights and realistic steps any hunter can put to use.

When does hunting a big buck cross the line from healthy desire into coveting?

This week on To The Stand, a longtime friend joins us in the studio to break down what the Bible really says about coveting. Together, we discuss how to keep our passion for hunting in perspective and ensure that chasing mature bucks doesn't distract us from what truly matters.

How do thermal drones compare to traditional whitetail woodsmanship? Derrick from Whitetail Research joins the Everland Outdoors Podcast to break down the hard science, state politics, and ethical debates surrounding drone technology in the hunting space.

Derrick has flown countless hours using thermal imaging to study mature bucks, track herd densities, and map whitetail bed locations. In this episode, we explore:

• Thermal Property Surveys: How to analyze your land's holding capacity, overall habitat quality, and deer population.
• Whitetail Behavior Data: What thermal drones teach us about mature buck bedding and nocturnal movement.
• Drone Regulations & Politics: Understanding FAA rules, legal boundaries, and state wildlife agency bans.
• Fair-Chase Ethics: Where to draw the line between modern technology and traditional woodsmanship.

If you’re a drone operator looking to expand into thermal wildlife surveys or a hunter trying to pattern big bucks on your farm, this conversation is packed with actionable insights.
