Welcome to Outdoor Crusade – your ultimate guide to the outdoors, Christian faith conversations, homesteading, hunting, fishing, and the unexplained mysteries of the wilderness!
Hosted by Jody and Lisa Blackwelder from the foothills of North Carolina, we blend practical adventure (gear reviews, survival tips, off-grid living) with real talk about Christianity, the Bible, and everyday faith. Plus we dive into the outliers — Bigfoot, UFOs, cryptids, and strange encounters in the woods — all from a biblical worldview.
ody Blackwelder sits down with the legendary Captain Sergio for a deep dive into a life spent on the water. From his first fishing experiences as a child to becoming a licensed captain in 1975, Captain Sergio has seen it all. In this episode, he shares the incredible evolution of the saltwater fishing charter industry, the critical things you MUST look for when booking a trip, and his transition from the radio waves to hosting his own educational fishing shows.
This isn’t just a fishing story; it’s a masterclass in passion, dedication, and the art of the catch.
