OUTDOOR CRUSADE
Step Away From the Noise. Reconnect With God.
Life can leave us distracted, overwhelmed, and spiritually tired. Outdoor Crusade helps believers slow down, spend intentional time with God, and build a stronger daily walk with Christ through Scripture, prayer, God’s creation, and faithful living.
When Life Feels Heavy, You Don’t Have to Walk Alone
There are seasons when the responsibilities, disappointments, distractions, and pressures of life begin to weigh us down. Prayer becomes inconsistent. Time in God’s Word gets pushed aside. We may still believe, but we no longer feel as close to God as we once did.
Outdoor Crusade was created for moments like these. It offers a simple invitation to slow down, return to Scripture, pray honestly, step into God’s creation, and begin taking one faithful step at a time.
You do not have to change everything today. You only need to begin.
A Practical Path of Biblical Discipleship
Outdoor Crusade is a Christian discipleship ministry that helps believers reconnect with God and develop healthier patterns of faithful living. Through the Outdoor Crusade 40-Day Reset Journey, participants are guided through Scripture, prayer, personal reflection, and practical daily actions.
The outdoors is not the object of our faith. God’s creation provides a peaceful setting where we can step away from constant distraction, remember the Creator, and intentionally seek Him.
The Foundation of the Journey
Rooted in Scripture
God’s Word is our foundation and final authority. Every part of the journey is designed to lead you back to biblical truth and a closer daily walk with Christ.
Renewed Through God’s Creation
Time in creation can help us slow down, reduce distraction, and become more intentional about prayer, reflection, and gratitude to the Creator.
Strengthened Through Faithful Living
Spiritual growth is developed through daily faithfulness. Prayer, Scripture, honest reflection, and practical action help us live out what we believe.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”Matthew 11:28

One Faithful Step Each Day
Read
Begin with Scripture and a short devotional centered on a specific area of Christian growth.
Reflect
Consider what the passage reveals about your relationship with God, your thinking, and your daily patterns.
Pray
Respond honestly to God and ask Him to guide your next step.
Act
Complete one practical action that helps move biblical truth from reflection into daily life.
The goal is not perfection. The goal is to keep walking with God one faithful step at a time.
Biblically Grounded and Practically Informed
Biblically grounded. Supported by established research on healthy habits, time in nature, and behavior change.
Everything Outdoor Crusade teaches begins with Scripture. God’s Word remains our foundation and final authority for faith and life.
We also recognize that research can help us better understand attention, habits, behavior, stress, and the value of intentionally stepping away from daily distraction. This research supports the practical structure of the journey, but it never replaces Scripture or the work of the Holy Spirit.
We do not promise transformation. We faithfully point people to the One who transforms.
Walk Through the Journey Together
The Outdoor Crusade Group Leader experience helps churches, Sunday school classes, small groups, families, and friends walk through the 40-Day Reset Journey together.
Participants use the main journey app for their personal daily experience. Leaders use a separate app designed to help them encourage the group, guide discussions, and keep the journey focused on Scripture, prayer, and faithful action.
Why Outdoor Crusade Exists
Outdoor Crusade grew out of founder Jody Blackwelder’s own struggle to make lasting changes in his life.
After years of feeling weighed down physically, mentally, and spiritually, Jody realized that lasting change could not begin with another temporary self-help plan. He needed to return to God’s Word, change the way he was thinking, pray honestly, and begin making faithful daily choices.
Time spent outside helped create space away from noise and distraction. Scripture provided the truth. Prayer created dependence on God. Daily action helped turn good intentions into healthier patterns.
The Outdoor Crusade 40-Day Reset Journey was created from that experience—not as a promise that every person will have the same outcome, but as an invitation for other believers to slow down, reconnect with God, and take their own next faithful step.
Take Your Next Faithful Step Today
You do not have to fix everything overnight. Begin by setting aside the noise, opening God’s Word, and spending today with Him.
